“The real goal of all intelligence agencies is to access denied information or that information which the opposition takes extra care to protect and conceal.”
Vikram Sood, The Unending Game: A Former R&AW Chief’s Insights into Espionage

Ehsan Sehgal
“International Intelligence Agencies and their hired ones avoid the weapons now; however, they utilize deadly chemicals to kill their rivals, whether high level or low level; whereas, doctors diagnose that as a natural death. Virtually, becoming infected and victim of deathly diseases through chemicals, is neither known publicly yet, nor common ones believe in it. As a fact, Intelligence mafia can achieve and gain every task for their interests indeed.”
Ehsan Sehgal
