drops off her bags she was prepared for
this trip she's been given instructions
on how to get around in Frankfurt stores
are closed on on Sunday gas stations are
not a good place for fine dining stuff
like that we all know this thanks to the
extensive leaks called Vault 7 from a
few years back generally this video
largely relies on leaked information and
statements of retired agents it was a
9-hour flight from Washington DC to
Frankfurt Jane is pretty exhausted and
takes a shower she is very careful not
to leave anything that could identify
her unattended she takes her phone and
laptop with her to the bathroom freshly
dressed Jane takes the u5 subway towards
poing asheim she get gets off at gner
stasa just a few hundred meters North

residents in the region but in truth it
is doing much more than that at the main
gate Jane shows her black passport and
is handed a yellow visitors badge she
follows the signs to the employee

totally
unacceptable the operation was run by
the so-called special collection service
a spy unit of the NSA and CIA officially

running spy operations from almost 100
US embassies all across the world
including Frankfurt but Jane works for
another unit here she works for the
European branch of the center for cyber
intelligence the cia's hacking division
Jane and others are developing cyber
weapons the there are over a thousand
hacking systems and several hundred
million lines of code in the cia's
Arsenal some of these hacking tools are
extremely powerful the CIA could turn
devices from Apple Google Samsung and
many others into secret microphones
there are tools that bypass encryption
from Messengers like WhatsApp signal or
telegram allowing the agency to collect
texts and voice messages but there are
also attack systems like fine dining
which only work from up close this is
where frankfurt's strategic location
comes into play the shenen agreement
allows Jane to travel from Frankford to
almost any European country without
border control if Jane wanted to
penetrate high security targets that are
not connected to the internet she could
simply take a train stick a USB drive
loaded with malware into a Target PC and
be back in Frankfurt by
supper Jane is a very talented hacker if
one day she decided to leave the CIA she
could have a very promising career as a
cyber security expert all she'd have to
do is build a portfolio and launch her
own website unfortunately Jane is not
very creative when it comes to designing

the airport Jane's next destination is
[Music]
Australia Jane gets off the plane and
walks to customs and things do not go
smoothly one of the officers seems
suspicious about her and selects Jane
for secondary
screening but she's
prepared agents like Jane are usually
trained here camp pury or how most
people in the CIA call it the farm a
roughly 10,000 acre piece of land near
Williamsburg Virginia it was established
during World War II as a military
training center later it was transformed
into a camp for Italian and German war
prisoners in 1951 the CIA took over and
turned it into a secret spy school of
course not officially in fact the CIA
has built an entire fake City there are
multiple houses and dormitories for
students and staff for training the site
has several shooting ranges boat houses
at the river driving courses and an
Airfield students learn everything they
need to know about life as a secret
agent in the field from basic weapons
trainings all the way to the handling of
explosives how to evade pursuers and
field surveillance students practice how
to infiltrate a border that is tightly
guarded by watchtowers and police dogs
enemy capture is simulated by kidnapping
students from their dorm and
interrogating them there's even a mock
prison where students learn how to deal
with military confinement if training
needs to be even more hardcore students
are brought to Harvey Point just a few
hours south of the farm this is the
place where among other things the
operation to kill Osama Bin Laden was
planned and
trained Jane stands in front of a
customs officer at the Australian
airport she remembers how to survive
secondary screening according to a CIA
training manual the two most common
questions in this situation are why are
you here and where are you staying Jane
learned how to maintain her cover no
matter what when asked Jane gives a
quick and concise answer no pause and no
delaying sounds between questions and
response just as the manual says she
knows that any unnecessary information
or overly specific answers might
lengthen the interview so she keeps it
short and simple she tries to stay calm
no swallowing no lip biting nothing that
can make her seem nervous and it works
after a few minutes the officer hands
chain her passport and she's free to
enter the

country Jane is sitting with her
colleagues in a casino in Alice Springs
a small town right in the heart of the
Australian Outback there are a lot of
Americans all around her which is not
unusual most of them work at Pine Gap a
nearby military base run by the
Australian and US Government Jane and
others are playing a weird American dice
game called crabs when a group of
Australian YouTubers joined them
together they drink they laugh and maybe
talk a bit too much about their
work this
guy the Americans in this casino are no
ordinary soldiers and pine Gap is not
your usual military base pineap is a Top
Secret Spy Facility what are you
doing roughly 1,000 people work at the
so-called Joint Defense facility which
is a quite misle in name in fact in its
early years Australians only worked as
Cooks painters or janitors while today
almost half the staff is Australian and
the other half American in reality the
CIA and the NSA call the shots here
while Pine Gap was originally used as a
defensive site to keep track of Soviet
nuclear missiles during the Cold War us
intelligence quickly realized how useful
this base could truly be today it is the
US's most important intelligence
collection station in the world there
are 38 Raider dishes all across the Bas
B many of them are enclosed in random
huge golf ball likee structures they are
built to hide and protect the antennas
inside them most of these antennas
communicate with us spy satellites like
Orion 3 5 7 and
9 these spy satellites are
geosynchronous they move in orbit with
exactly the same speed as the Earth's
rotation this way the CIA can intercept
almost all Wireless communication from
Europe Africa and Asia 247 the immensely
powerful NSA spy programs Echelon and X
key score that Edward Snowden made
public in 2013 or also operated from
Pine Gap these programs are used to
systematically collect everything from
online chats to phone calls and mails at
the heart of the base sits the
operations building on a total of around
2,000 sare M roughly the size of a small
Ikea the CIA NSA and other agencies
analyze all incoming intelligence
data Pine Gap played a vital role in
America's war on terror
it provided real-time data for soldiers
on the battlefield in Iraq and
Afghanistan and it was used to locate
targets for us drone strikes during
which hundreds of civilians were killed
a very recent report indicates that Pine
Gap intelligence may have assisted
Israeli forces to attack Targets in Gaza
for that reason a group of protesters
tried to block the entrance to pineap at
the end of last year Pine Gap has been
criticized by many different groups
before some people have even managed to
enter the facility more recently these
Australian YouTubers for example be sure
to check out their video it inspired us
to make this video in the first place
should I be more hyped did you hear that
it sounded like bombs going off no Jane
has seen places few people in the world
have ever been to covert hacking bases
in the heart of Europe training
facilities in the US and spy stations in
Australia she knows many of the cia's
secrets like the fact that in 2000 an
American soldier from Pine Gap
reportedly started a secret swingers
club in Alice spring which held wild
parties
but there are places that not even Jane
will ever have access
to on September 6th 2006 President
George Bush admitted what many people
had already suspected so I'm announcing
today that kle shik Muhammad Abu Zeda
Ramsey Ben Al she and 11 other
terrorists in CIA custody had been
transferred to the United States Naval
Base at Guantanamo Bay in in this speech
Bush acknowledged that the CIA was
running a network of secret prisons all
across the world so-called black sites
the most well-known CIA prison is
Guantanamo Bay in Cuba the prison was
built for international terrorist
suspects Just 4 months after the attacks
on 911 the first 20 people arrived but
Guantanamo is no regular prison in most
cases there are no official charges no
trials and no formal convictions a total
of 800 people were brought here some
have been exposed to ened interrogation
techniques most commonly known as
torture often the CIA did not have clear
evidence on their
inmates the exact number and locations
of black sites are still unknown some
were run by Foreign secret services at
least 10 of these prisons were built and
operated by the CIA over 50 governments
participated in some way if the CIA
suspected someone of being a terrorist
they sometimes became part of the
agency's extraordinary rendition program
or simply kidnapping the suspect was
illegally Shackled blindfolded and
transported via plane to one of the
cia's black sites some of these prisons
were allegedly planned from the CIA base
in Frankfurt while the farm was
allegedly involved in rendition flights
one of the most important prisons of the
CIA was here on a Polish military base
near the small village of starak kikut
inside this two-story Villa the CIA
built one of its very first prisons
after 9911 code name quartz the CIA
tortured multiple suspects here as as
compensation for using the place the CIA
paid at least $15 million and outfitted
the base with $300,000 worth of security
cameras after many years of denial in
2014 the Polish government finally
admitted that it hosted the secret CIA
prison since then the European Court of
human rights has found multiple European
countries responsible for letting the
CIA violate several human rights in
prisons on their territory in 2009
President Obama ordered for all black
sites to be closed but to this day guano
Bay still holds roughly 30 m
