The number of foreign intelligence
services increases as we add to Foreign Spy Agency Happenings! each day. We try to focus on the foreign intelligence branches of each country, not on their security intelligence sections. It is difficult to do, because they often overlap or are integrated together. Security intelligence focuses on domestic threats, such as homegrown terrorism and espionage. The foreign intelligence sections are involved in information-gathering (spying) on foreign governments to
obtain classified political, economic, military and technology secrets.

Some of these agencies have been involved
in assassinations, arms trafficking, an occasional coups d'état and other covert operations. For
the most part, in democratic societies, their actions are geared to protect the
citizenry from harm by employing analysts and by sending trained undercover agents
abroad to search for threats and to give early warnings of impending threats to
the homeland.
All spy agencies, when necessary, spy on
each other. However, the U.S., England and Canada have an agreement not to. They spend much energy and resources spying upon their perceived enemies to ferret out possible cruel intentions
and report them to policy-makers so these nefarious plots can be acted
upon preemptively.
Not surprisingly, much of the intelligence gathered concerns the military capabilities
of foreign adversaries. They also engage in counterintelligence to defend their
nation against the efforts of foreign spy services to steal classified
documents and valuable technological secrets.
