Military Intelligence Division (MID): Agency Analysis

The first revealing of the National Security Agency (NSA) intercepting American citizens’ phone calls and internet communications was on the news in 2005. Those news stories, including a USA story discovered that the NSA is also receiving phone and other communication records. On December 23th, 2005 the New York Times caught companies just giving away access to their communications stream. There are many incidents that have been proved and recorded about the NSA receiving information and data from Americans without their acknowledgment of it. There is also much history behind the NSA, good and bad believe it or not.

With the onset of WWI came advancements in several facets of warfare. With new advancements came new opportunities for schemers to flex their muscles in the world of espionage and offensive action. This research will focus on the relevant intelligence operations of the offensive and espionage in naval warfare of WWI. It will concentrate primarily on the German and British naval initiatives, but will not overlook those of Russia, France, and the United States. Any and all conjectures made throughout will be made with the consideration of a given party’s incentives to misrepresent as well as the anticipated payoffs ascribed with each initiated action.

The National Security Agency (NSA) has been an information gathering arm of the Executive branch since the Cold War and continues to be an essential part of ensuring the security of the United States. The public issue that involves the NSA is the spying of U.S citizens which can be seen as a violation of the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This was revealed to the public by the whistleblower Edward Snowden who released classified documents of activities that the NSA had been conducting in conjuncture with telecommunication companies, which angered many U.S citizens and received media coverage with a call for the U.S Government to restrict the NSA’s activities or at least for there to be Congressional oversight. This debate revolves around how much the NSA’s surveillance activities are actually used for national security as well as the constitutionality of the NSA’s surveillance. This all began after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 when there was a call for the attacks to never happen again and the adoption of the Patriot Act in that same year which increased the power of the NSA.

The NSA, The National Security Agency that is under the government control was initially intended to protect the USA by tethering through technology devices to attempt to pick up any suspicious activities. The problem is that many feel as if the NSA has no right to evade their privacy. The NSA should be penalize every time they do so, or should have some type of warrant, but only for last resort, or stopped completely. There are many other ways to go about finding troublesome threats like antagonist programs like CDT as I mentioned earlier. Having your privacy tampered with isn’t worth it. The NSA is not needed that bad.

You’re constantly being watched, the NSA collect the data from over 75,000 people daily. The NSA, or National Security Agency, is responsible for collecting and monitoring all this data that they gather. They collect all this data to help the government as they are a government agency. They truly do help the United States by monitoring this data to help protect the citizens, but still people find a way to oppose it. Even though it might violate people 's right to privacy, the NSA helps protect citizens with their ability to collect and search through large amounts of data, and using this information from to prevent possible attacks on the United states from actually happening.

The NSA was created on November 4, 1952, by President Harry Truman and was held responsible for collecting, processing, and distributing intelligence information from foreign electronic signals. The NSA contributed to the Nation 's work in breaking German and Japanese codes during WWII. The information collected was to be used for national foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes and to support military operations.

They do as many good things as bad. They stop terrorist attacks on our country. They also watch American citizens that have done a crime or suspected of about to do a crime, which is for a greater good. Citizens may say, it is okay for them to bend the law to protect the citizens, they may say that invading our privacy shouldn't be a problem if we are not doing anything wrong. That is true to a point. But, the NSA is not just violating foreign invaders. They are also violating American citizens just as much. When does it stop? It is not okay to take away something from us, as citizens, without our consent. As an American we have the right to our civil rights. We have the right to privacy and no matter how high in government that should not be taken away from us. It is okay for the NSA to do their job, protecting U.S citizens from terrorist attacks, if they did not have to bend the rules to do it. The NSA has been caught hacking navigation systems many times to find their assignments, the contact they are looking for. It is not okay to bend or break the laws because it’s for the government. The government is suppose to protect this country. It is not suppose to spy on its on

In the early years of the Revolutionary War, General Washington started using what would become the forerunner of today’s counterintelligence and counterespionage fields by utilizing undercover agents, spy rings, and discreet reporting methods, much of which was focused

According to MI5, espionage refers to “a process which involves human sources (agents) or technical means to obtain information which is not normally publically available [and]…seeking to influence decision makers and opinion-formers to benefit the interests of a foreign power.” For many historians, espionage has long been “the missing dimension” of diplomatic, political, and military history. The declassification of documents and greater political transparency over recent decades however has opened up this previously ‘missing dimension’, and has highlighted its role in the conflicts of the twentieth century. As the extent to which agents were used to obtain classified information for the Allies and leak incorrect information to the Axis powers has become more apparent, increasing numbers of World War II historians, such as Professor F. H. Hinsley, have argued that espionage played a major part in the ultimate Allied victory in 1945. Despite this, there is still room for historiographical debate over the extent to which espionage had a significant impact on the course and outcome of World War II. This essay will use five case studies to explore the role of British and Soviet informants and agents in influencing the course and outcome of World War II, and the extent to which they altered the duration of the war, technological developments, battle outcomes and strategies, and assisted in the ultimate Allied victory. Ultimately, this essay will argue that Allied

When you think of the NSA, you might think of surveillance cameras and being watched. Well, if you are being watch by the government, why not think of it as a form of adult supervision? In the future where artificial intelligence and quantum computers are perfected, the world will be overall better with the help of the government always watching. The biggest problem in the world right now is that most forms of crime and terrorism that are spontaneous, like the Boston bombing, make keeping people safe is extremely challenging.

1936 marked the beginning of a new establishment for the American intelligence community that opened new ways and incremented the potentiality of the use of intelligence operations in international and domestic conflicts.

Back in 2013, NSA has been a debated topic for espionage activities. NSA claimed that spying was for preventing terrorism threats but a lot of people censured it because not only world leaders were put under surveillance but also private citizens, even overseas residents were wiretapped and watched on the Internet.

For more than 60 years, the CIA has been at the forefront of securing the United States by providing America’s policymakers with the intelligence they need to make informed decisions. The history of the CIA reaches back to the time of George Washington’s presidency, but was only coordinated as a government-wide basis since the World War II. In 1942, president Franklin D. Roosevelt had appointed a prominent New York lawyer and war hero, William J. Donovan as a Coordinator of Information, and then, head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The men and women of the OSS collected and analyzed strategic information and conducted wartime covert actions and counterintelligence operations. However, prior to the World War II, the OSS abolished

After the armistice of 1918, the United States maintained modest but significant cryptologic establishments in the Navy and War Departments, along with an interdepartmental effort conducted in New York and headed by Herbert O. Yardley.
