The Spyland Theme Park Project
Spyland
April 26, 2004
Extraordinary. You may already know that France’s intelligence services have their own website:
a site that was once infiltrated.
What’s most astonishing is that this merry crew plans to open, during the summer of 2005, near Aix-en-Provence, a themed park called "Spyland," dedicated to espionage. No, this isn’t a joke, nor a hoax. You can verify it by visiting the links:

There, they mention "a culture of intelligence." On the DGSE’s unofficial website (originally managed by a man named Sébastien Janvier, who has apparently vanished and no longer appears on the list of responsible personnel), you’ll discover, for example, that Philippe de Dieuleveult, host of the famous show "La Chasse au Trésor," who died under mysterious circumstances in Zaire, was actually a DGSE agent, holding the rank of captain.

Yes, at the DGSE, people don’t just work in offices. You’ve seen this guy on your small screen for years. Excerpt from the DGSE website:
Personnel Categories
Honorable Correspondents
These are the men and women who hold key positions and, out of patriotism and civic duty, agree to assist our agents in their fight against crime by providing general information. By extension, this term refers to all individuals who are closely or remotely connected to the Central.
Clandestines
The clandestines are the armed wing of our DGSE. These men, numbering around ten, are known only to the oldest and highest-ranking member of the DGSE (known as "the head of the tank"). These are formidable professionals with no legal existence, no past, no family.
The Invisible
An "invisible" is the nickname given to DGSE men and women. Simply because they have no distinguishing marks, no DGSE ID card, no badge from the 44th RI, and no nameplate on their jacket indicating their affiliation with the institution.
Black Ambassadors
In sensitive areas, the DGSE mobilizes special ambassadors to meet with opposition groups to governments without embarrassing France’s official policy in those regions.
Operational Reserve
Official name for Honorable Correspondents, present worldwide, skilled in the most diverse sectors and techniques, fully available and selfless in carrying out missions in areas not covered by permanent DGSE installations, or in responding to crisis situations.
Thus, "Honorable Correspondents" can be found across all social classes and professional categories. Xavier Maniguet, who played a key role in Operation "Satanique," during which the Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace’s ship, was sunk in the harbor of Auckland, New Zealand, was a 38-year-old doctor. France aimed to deter Greenpeace from drawing too much global attention to its nuclear tests in the Mururoa atoll (now conducted underground in metropolitan France). He rented the yacht Ouvea under the guise of the combat swimmers who were to be transported to the site. Generally, such collaborations prove quite profitable. We know that the Rainbow Warrior was sunk in 1985 by two successive explosions, one at 11:50 PM and the other at midnight. The first charge was placed against the propeller, the second against the hull. During the ten-minute interval, a Spanish photographer entered the ship to retrieve his photographic equipment and was killed by the second explosion. When asked in 2003 during a TV show whether it wouldn’t have been better to warn Greenpeace by phone that a second charge was about to explode, Maniguet replied in the negative, without the slightest remorse—quite in line with the tone of his book "Les Dents de la Mort." Personally, I consider this man more a murderer than a hero, just like all those involved in this operation. Note that the death of this journalist, described as a "mere detail," is not mentioned in the account of this mission, which defied common sense and earned Commander Prieur (ex-false wife of Turinge) the rank of commander:

Thus, Honorable Correspondents can be found throughout our society. They are generally people who interact with many others or travel frequently. They might be headwaiters in high-end restaurants, hold senior positions in research or embassies, be Concorde pilots, or hosts of TV shows that also take them on the move and expose them to many different people. Their motivations aren’t always patriotic. In general, their careers receive a significant boost, in one form or another, which serves as compensation. A simple kitchen assistant might quickly rise to the rank of headwaiter. A low-ranking officer from the Army’s Light Aviation could end up piloting a powerful commercial aircraft by agreeing to perform a few services (such as previously rerouting flights over East Germany on Paris-Berlin East routes so that the army could conduct radio surveillance over territory controlled by the Soviet bloc). Another example is Philippe de Dieuleveult, who for years enjoyed a great deal of fun while hosting a highly exciting television show. You’d be surprised to learn how many media figures are actually Honorable Correspondents of the French intelligence services. They need agents to infiltrate highly diverse structures, including, for example, the... UFO communities, where they seek to occupy a "strategic position."
How to recognize an Honorable Correspondent? Good agents "don’t look like secret agents." They are the world’s best friends, always ready to help. Sometimes they stand out because they tend to overdo things, trying to appear as... humanists (the bigger the lie, the more it passes). They are good eaters, excellent company, know as many people as possible, and are "curious about everything." A clue: their careers are sometimes unusually fast, compared to their background or education level, followed by early, comfortable retirements. In fact, these careers are more cover than anything else. They are capable of carrying out infiltrations requiring years of patient groundwork. They are master manipulators. If necessary, if "the services" decide a particular individual should occupy a certain position, the current incumbent will be discreetly removed...
