Every nation has spies in the US, especially in our schools and government institutions. That people think such facts are “conspiracy theories” should be the real news story.
- confounded 8y agoThis really sounds more like a University club to keep people loyal to the government back-home, rather than an espionage operation.
- alehul 8y agoAre they mutually exclusive, though? A 'loyalty club' can lead to some types of espionage, especially in an academic setting where the club members have access to some of the brightest minds in America and the research they're working on.

- tabtab 8y agoIndeed! :-) Remember when Germany caught the US bugging their headquarters? The President looked like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
