Welcome to the Spooks Portal on Spinprofiles

Welcome to the Spooks Portal on Spinprofiles—your guide to networks of power, lobbying and deceptive PR. This portal focuses on Intelligence agencies and their activities. Theorists have traditionally divided the activities of the world's spies into four areas: intelligence collection, intelligence analysis, counterintelligence and covert action. The last of these covers covers a wide range of political interventions, from propaganda and disinformation, through support for front groups to terrorism and guerrilla warfare.
