Turkish Intel Runs One Spy Per 500 People In Germany

Just incredible, but not at all surprising:

A security politician told Die Welt that Turkey’s MIT intelligence agency has some 6,000 informants in Germany.

For Germany’s population of about 3 million people with Turkish roots, that means that each informant could be responsible for monitoring 500 people, which is a greater proportion than the Stasi had in West Germany, intelligence expert and author Erich Schmidt-Eenboom told The Local.

In comparison, Schmidt-Eenboom explained, the Stasi had around 10,000 agents in West Germany to monitor a population of roughly 60 million – meaning 6,000 people per agent.

Bear in mind, a German kid running an alt-right blog, who puts up a post insulting Erdogan could get targeted by this network, and the ways it would lash out would not be easily investigated or punished by the Police. They could do vandalism in the middle of the night, assault him on his way home from school, plant drugs in his belongings and frame him, anything. And in some neighborhoods, he could have a couple of hundred, maybe even a thousand people targeting him on a single trip.

How Germany can tolerate a foreign covert intelligence network running such a high number of assets, freely within their borders, easily able to target their citizens with a small army, is beyond me. Merkel is beyond incompetent.

Making things worse, Turkey may not be the only player. Iran, Syria, and even various ethnic criminal gangs may all be setting up their own networks. Foreign intel networks could easily be bumping into each other, running surveillance, gathering tips, stealing info, harassing dissidents, and doing it all in a foreign country.

Of course the most fascinating aspect of all of that is this. All of those foreign networks, run by vastly poorer countries, trying to field enough officers to run it in a foreign land without getting them expelled, should pale in comparison to German state security. As a far more wealthy domestic service in its own nation, I would expect it would be fielding its own network that is even more complete, more thoroughly penetrated into the populace, more able to break local laws with impunity, and possessed of a much higher asset to citizen ratio, than any of the foreign ones. Think about that. The Germans could be running one agent per three hundred citizens, or more. The money, the access, and the immunity to prosecution is all there. The real kicker – that network is obviously too focused on it’s own AfD members and other right wing activists to get a handle on all of these real threats.

I’ve told you to keep your nose clean, and never assume you are not being watched and recorded, no matter how stupid what you do is. That warning extends to every bastion of Western civilization, and especially any bastion where rabbits are afoot. These days approaching the K-shift, eyes are everywhere, and with the money floating around and all the rabbit panic, nothing is impossible.
