• Working As An Independent Operator

    The Intelligence Community is known to have said that between 80 and 90% of a country's intelligence work can be acquired from public, non-secret non-clandestine sources. So being an analyst does not require a security clearance, as long as you have customers who appreciate your "product." So long as you are seen as useful, bringing to the table valid intelligence analysis, you can work for your own start-up, being a spy in the Think Tank sense of the term, apart from the part of the definition of "spy" that indicates that you are working for a foreign power. So you can act as an intelligence worker without a clearance and without having to disclose to the country you're living in that you are under control of a foreign nation, as quite literally you are not working for any foreign power, but rather a contractor that works for an income like any other person, who most notably does not have any clearance of any kind. Sounds strange? That is the globalization of intelligence analysis and production of the intelligence "product" somewhat anonymously, still being highly valued if you have access
    to knowledge the bounty is offered for.
