How do tge glowies gather intel on where a particular goatfucker is hiding, or whatever smugling operation other glowies are doing?
It's revealed to them in their dreams but lasts a bit, that's it took time to find bin Laden

wouldn't you like to know
>>64626421They recruit people in-country and pay them for information.Basically it becomes a system where they'll find some faggot incel guy that everybody in the village hates, and he'll call up his glowfag buddies to drop a bomb on people he doesn't like.
>>64626707yep. think blackhawk down movie, guy parks marked car next to building they needed to assault$$$$$$
>>64626421you'd be surprised how cheap it is to make (most) people forget all their ideals, friendships and allegiancessometimes it's just the cost of a few drinks and being a good / encouraging listeneralso you need to remember that >you only ONE person to talk>most people are idiots and don't consider having many people involved a vulnerability due to perceived control over themthe mathematical basis to this would be>grimes conspiracy theory equationand one person, with enough funds, language & social skills can already find out quite a lot
they call the First Earth Battalion to have some specially trained soldiers use astral projection to roam around a defined perimeter. they can even remotely disable the goat
>>64626421Usually pay another goat fucker to rat them out.

>>64626732The show the Americans portrays this in very realistic detail.One of the KGB informants is a compulsive gambler that just needed cash. Another one is just a lonely guy who wanted someone to talk to and to feel important. Another is a dumb blonde bimbo just after a sex affair and the thrill of it all. Another is a closet faggot whom they blackmail. The ghetto drug dealer. The true believer. The cocaine fiend. Etcetera.They would profile these people and find the right approach for each of them.Given that a CIA dude was involved in the production I assume it is fairly true to real life.
>>64626421If you are in a shithole country where the average man only earns a couple dollars a day from his job, assume everyone around you is a potential CIA informant.
>>64626421>>64626606>>64627137Aside from astral projection techniques, a lot of humint from people on the ground. An often overlooked source is (was) MSF. In Afghanistan, Doctors Without Borders was willing to treat all wounded that came to them, which meant their doctors (and more importantly, the local hospital workers) were mined for intel. Which is why the CIA was more than a little bit mad when that AC130 leveled an MSF hospital to kill a target.

>>64626421CIA don't go after random targets, they use basic investigation nets to find whatever scraps of info they can. Someone with the influence to make organizational decisions is in a database somewhere.For example, maybe the money trail from a saudi bank account leads to a connection in the Caymans with ties to various shell companies that do nothing but exist on a ledger. These shell companies have their own corporate bank accounts that someone draws a steady amount from. The person withdrawing the money goes by the name Abu Khalid or some shit. Abu Khalid is a name in the database from an interrogation 3 years ago by a friendly agency. Abu Khalid is now subject to investigation. Who knows him? Now we're looking into Family ties, financial records, airline tickets, cell phone usage, correspondence, social heirarchy standing, education, political affiliations, businesses and licensing, known associates, spending habits and sources of income. The longer Abu Khalid is in our sights, the more of a picture we can create, soon enough the whole network starts to become clear. Capability is estimated, opportunities and motives are found. Movement and activities are analyzed, behaviour and habits start to form patterns, communications are studied, the organizational details create a map that allows the investigator to tell their boss exactly where and when to strike.
>>64629374I'd also add to this that these days, there's orders of magnitude more information easily available to the public than there used to be. Sometimes it can be as simple as uncovering a single piece of connective tissue to put a whole bunch of public knowledge into context. Someone might let you know something about off-the-books money changing hands and being laundered as profits through an investment firm. You take a look through official filings and oh look, Abu Khalid's brother is on the board of directors, and that firm is now potentially tied to the shell companies you wer initially looking into too. You do a little more digging and there's a buried press release from five years ago about how one of the companies the firm invests in announced a project with one of the shell companies you were looking at initially, so on. So much of modern intel is about even knowing where the hell to look to begin with.>interrogation 3 years ago by a friendly agencyThis is something super important too. The CIA might find a person of interest in something, and it turns out that the NSA had them as a list of 30 contacts that someone else they had an eye on was regularly texting. Or with Five Eyes, it could be that then the Australian Signals Directorate or GCHQ already has an account that the CIA's connected him to flagged as likely being used to fund a terror cell somewhere else. The US has the most resources in intelligence but the power of the entire anglosphere pooling resources can't be understated.
>>64628904>the Americanshaven't seen this one (yet)>Another is a closet faggot whom they blackmailusually you don't even need to go that faralso, depending on the country of operation, you want to avoid informants trying to get revengeideally they profited themselves AND did something "wrong" as well (as incentive to stay quiet) also I work in an EU country that has pretty strict laws regarding stuff like blackmailit's not like we can't do that, but the threshold is very high and the paper trail very annoyingUS partners usually don't have these restriction (and I'd wager USSR didn't care either)
>>64630181HUMINT, pattern analysis, old school surveillance and infiltration too.You can also infer the presence of people if you're clever. The obvious example would be that if drugs are leaving place X and arriving place Y, then there's a way they're getting there. If you can narrow down the times things are leaving and arriving, you can rule out certain methods of transit, so on. Watch something long enough and you might go from 'there's a drug smugger' to 'there's a drug smuggler that takes one of these six flights regularly and can get around airport security on both ends'.Sometimes intelligence means narrowing something down enough that you can put a guy with a camera in a building opposite a location for a week and see what you catch.>ELINTThese days at least that tends to be used to describe things other than communications, or COMINT. COMINT is intercepting stuff like voice and text, ELINT is more intercepting stuff like radar or navigation.
>>64629316That was a good thread.>that fucking game hasnt been updated since thenI get that quality comes slow but that was years ago
>>64630160>haven't seen this one (yet)ffs anon, start now. rhys and russel are amazing and if you lived anywhere near 1980s US it's worth the nostalgia trip alone
>>64630160>haven't seen this one (yet)Do yourself the service and watch it. I dare say it's the best TV show ever made, bar none. Six seasons, no dips in quality, pant-shittingly tense from start to finish. Not to mention very authentic both as a period piece and as a spy thriller
>>64626421In a goatfuckistan type nation, the easiest way to get leads and triangulate people is to infiltrate or bribe the local black market importers. Anyone of value in a repressive place will inevitably request contraband or someone will request contraband or unusual items for said important person as a gift or bribe.
>>64630234There was a small update over thanksgiving for the beginning part, but it was a real letdown after 2 years of no updates. The patreon subs have been revolting so the devs are getting less cash now too, as it should be.
is "glowies" similar to "unalive" in that it's a form of self-censorship designed to infantalize the public?
>>64632300Well, Timmy, some people aren't quite based enough to write their own Ring-zero OS that is also the 3rd Temple where God chooses to dwell, and thus may be less comfortable using the original terminology of >FUCKING GLOW IN THE DARK CIA NIGGERSI hope this helps :)
>>64632300Holy fucking newfag.Lurk 10 moar years before posting again.
