The new station's position, at Terra Nova Bay on Inexpressible Island near the Ross Sea, is triangulated with Xina's other coastal stations on Antarctica to “fill in a major gap in Xina's coverage” of the continent, and could support intelligence collection given its inclusion of a satellite ground station, according to the CSIS.

Inexpressible Base (Xina's Antarctic Spy Station) ..
The new station's position, at Terra Nova Bay on Inexpressible Island near the Ross Sea, is triangulated with Xina's other coastal stations on Antarctica to “fill in a major gap in Xina's coverage” of the continent, and could support intelligence collection given its inclusion of a satellite ground station, according to the CSIS.
Australia would be ‘naive’ to think Xina’s new Antarctic station not for surveillance, analyst says: Australia should be concerned about the prospect of Xina's using a new research station in Antarctica to assist surveillance operations in the southern hemisphere, according to national security experts.
Satellite imagery collected by the Washington-based thinktank the Centre for Strategic and International Studies shows construction of the station on Inexpressible Island near the Ross Sea has resumed for the first time since 2018.
The station is located within New Zealand’s historic territorial claim and is close to the border of Australia’s claim, which covers 42% of the continent. It is also near the US research station McMurdo, on Ross Island, the largest base in Antarctica.
CSIS believes the new Xinese station will include an observatory with a satellite ground station and will be well positioned to collect signals intelligence over Australia and New Zealand, and telemetry data on rockets launched from Australia’s new Arnhem Space Centre.
Under the 1959 Antarctic treaty, to which Xina is [a follow the rules only when it suits them] party, activities on the continent are restricted to “peaceful purposes”. Military personnel are allowed to conduct scientific research but analysts, including Blaxland, believe that information can also assist intelligence operations.

Innovation Race & Crisis ..
22-2-4 Emerging technologies are changing who can collect, analyze, and act on information on a global scale. Commercial satellite imagery enabled private citizens to observe the buildup of Russian troops near the Ukraine border and social media platforms provide nefarious actors with a vast battleground to conduct information warfare. Amy Zegart joins us virtually to discuss what she learned about how technology is changing intelligence while researching her latest book, Spies, Lies, and Algorithms: The History and Future of American Intelligence.
Amy Zegart (born 1967) is an American academic. She serves as the co-director of the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University; a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution; and professor of political economy (by courtesy) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
[Warning about the risk of a world dominated by a racist, autocratic bully — the CCP. Racist? Yup, in that, by dint of early civilization, the Chinese view Han Chinese as superior to all other nations, the CCP is worse than the racist-subset of Americans.]
Amy Zegart is the Morris Arnold and Nona Jean Cox Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, where she chairs the Working Group on Technology, Economics, and Governance. She’s also a professor of political science at Stanford, and an expert on intelligence, cybersecurity, and big tech. In this wide-ranging conversation, Professor Zegart discusses the US relationship with China and how she views that country’s aggressive stance toward Taiwan; why big tech companies are a potential threat not only to privacy, but also to our national security; and why the next war may well be fought with a keyboard rather than on a battlefield.
Zegart is a leading national expert on the United States Intelligence Community and national security policy. She has written three books on the topic: Flawed By Design, which chronicled the evolution of the relationship between the United States Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Council; Spying Blind, which examined U.S. intelligence agencies in the period preceding the September 11 attacks in 2001; and Eyes on Spies, which examined the weaknesses of U.S. intelligence oversight.

The Pakistani secret service is coming under scrutiny over its possible role in the Taliban take-over of Afghanistan. Unlike other countries, Pakistan maintains connections to the Taliban. Some of the Taliban's new government ministers were educated in religious universities there. Now questions are being asked about whether the Taliban have received support from Pakistani intelligence.
Who's behind Islamist terrorism? | DW Doc (private) > .
Pakistan + Χί ➾ India 2022 ..
Who’s financing, planning and commissioning terror attacks in Europe? This investigative documentary follows a trail that leads to Pakistan’s intelligence service, the ISI, which seems not only to fight terror, but sponsor it as well.
This film aims to find out who’s backing Islamist terrorists. Most of those who’ve carried out attacks in Europe were found to be lone wolves or member of small, independent cells. Here, award-winning author Daniel Harrich looks a bit deeper into the incidents. Leads take him to Brussels, Madrid and London, and to an organization called Lashkar-e-Taiba, or the "Army of the Righteous". It was founded by, and is closely linked to, the Pakistani intelligence service, ISI.
Harrich’s probe uncovered those who were pulling the strings behind many attacks. They are ISI officers, who often work in cooperation with and receive money from their German, French and US secret service counterparts. The filmmakers observe that when the fear of new attacks grows in the West, the more money it sends to its partners in Pakistan. And the more money these partners have, the more terrorist attacks are carried out. "The Business with Terror" probes ISI’s role as a sponsor of terrorism and asks: Where do we draw the line in cooperating with partner intelligence services?
