Our secret

Serviços secretos portugueses. Uma contradição nos termos. Ou seriam secretos ou portugueses. Os nossos são muito portugueses. Basta ler uns jornais e revistas e fica-se a saber tudo sobre quem é quem nos serviços secretos portugueses, quem é maçon, quem está colocado em que estação, quem vai substituir o demissionário diretor do SIED, Jorge Jacob Silva Carvalho, contratado pela Ongoing e cobiçado pela banca (BES, BCP) e uma multinacional. Online is a video made by journalists of the magazine "Friday" which documents the inputs and outputs of a Masonic lodge where spies were Portuguese. The paper, issued in 2009, bears the initials and the positions of several spies Masons. The video turned out the faces of the Masons who enter and leave the meeting but, if we are talking about secrecy, it's gone. Another article in the Daily News, "based on sources, brought more names and titles, and certainty of closing several stations, including Cairo, Madrid, Brussels and did not know yet, of Lebanon, it is assumed that in Beirut. Would be those in Beijing, Moscow and Rabat. Moscow, where it is possible to put a Carvalho Silva's successor named several times. This is given as having founded the intelligence services of Portuguese in Macao. And being recruited by a Masonic Lodge, the Universalis, where were many familiar names in Portuguese society. More public that this is not achieved. Google and find, expensive internet.
could be dangerous but is not. The residual importance of Portugal in the world makes anything goes and the countries where we have these stations and these people do not even bother to make a diplomatic protest.
Information Services, successors of the DGS, are not lacking. The Portuguese government understood that he needed the SIED, Strategic Intelligence Service of the Republic and the SIS Information Services of the Republic, united by SIRP, Information System of the Republic. Everyone has a website with information on the history and the usual line of Recruitment, and autoapresentam in colloquial language and station ... radio. 50s. The SIS says: "We present ourselves today, at the same address as usual, with a revised format and updated." The text ends with a big "hello to everyone who helped me before that SIS is claimed as a vital link in ensuring homeland security ..." Rather, the general director who signs it, Antero Louis, says that "the services are allowed perspetivar with optimism, the future of our mission." Julio Pereira, general secretary of the SIRP, and think "approach to all Internet users."
With budget constraints the optimism is gone. With the Internet (and the replacement of the military by civilians) was to the secrecy of the mission. The secret to its web and its endless bureaucratic social affability, have to lay off people and reduce services What counts is that the private sector, and well, will not let senior unemployment. And when it comes to a head, recruiting is disputed. Those who are recruited to recruit. The universe of Africa Portuguese speaking is desirable and contacts and calendar information from spies as well. Interestingly, no one, neither the government nor the opposition seems to interest the tiny detail that there is something called a state secret and an intelligence chief should be absolutely barred by law from selling information to the private sector in the Republic , national or international. The private sector does its part in recruiting, when the Portuguese State failed to make his and demand loyalty and a statutory period in which the intelligence chief was unable to provide such services paid with our taxes. It is the 'privatization' the secret.
With the crisis, the crisis is the secret that even matters to the Portuguese people, but these episodes Picaros show the caricature that became the secret services. The Wikileaks case demonstrates the impossibility of keeping state secrets in the Internet age. And if the fake Taliban, the grocer of Quetta reminiscent of the fake spy "Our Man in Havana" by Graham Greene, who was paid by British and American secret services as a valuable interlocutor talks with the Taliban is the most ridiculous story of espionage. Le Carre's spies were more reliable. The vicissitudes
tugas are irrelevant. E continue to be. Who can take seriously some of the secret services where possible successors Jorge Silva Carvalho is a 'fireman' of the ASAE, Antonio Nunes? Mason's friend and Universalis Armando Vara. With these recommendations, or D. John II, neither the Marquis nor Pina Manique let him escape.
