Metro-2 is the informal name for the apparent secret underground metro system which runs in parallel to the public Moscow Metro but exceeds it in length. The system was purportedly built, or at least started, during the time of Joseph Stalin’s rule and was given the code name D-6 by the KGB.
The Russian government is unwilling to comment on the existence of Metro-2.
RAF Menwith Hill
The Royal Air Force Menwith Hill is an air force station in England that contains an elaborate satellite ground station. It is also a communications intercept and missile warning site. It has been referred to as the largest electronic monitoring station on Earth.
Menwith Hill houses many satellites owned and operated by the US National Reconnaissance Office.
Global Spy Network?
Activists have spoken out against the activities taking place at the station, stating that they are undemocratic and invasive because of such programs as the ECHELON Interception System – a system that leaks into private and commercial communications.
In 1999, the BBC released a report that the Australian Government confirmed the existence of a global spying network that can intercept any communication on Earth with the USA and Britain being the chief protagonists. They also confirmed the connection between Menwith Hill to the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland. Despite the claims made, both the U.S. and Britain continue to deny that the spy network exists.
Secretive Metro
Rumor has it that Joseph Stalin ordered the secretive metro to be built for Russian secret services and heads of state to use. There are reportedly four lines connecting a central location to KGB outposts.
Whether it really exists is still a mystery. There have been interviews over the years involving people who claim to have been involved in the metro's construction. Recently, the demolition of the supposed spot of the Metro-2 uncovered a tunnel that could be part of a larger system. However, Putin’s tendency to keep state secrets has us believing that he won’t admit to this secret train system any time soon.
Pine Gap
The Australian Earth station, also known as Pine Gap, is located about 18 kilometers southwest of the town of Alice Springs, Northern Territory in the center of Australia. The station is run by both Australia and the United States.
The facility contains a large computer complex with 14 radomes protecting antennas and employs over 800 people. David Rosenberg, a long-term NSA employee at Pine Gap said that the chief of the facility at the time of his service was a CIA officer.
