The American National Security Agency base at Menwith Hill is the world’s largest spy base. It already taps into all telecommunications including telephone calls, faxes and email from UK, Europe, Middle East, North Africa and former Soviet Union.

This year the base is due to become part of a massive new US surveillance system monitoring earth from outer space to protect the United States.

Menwith Hill is to become the European Ground Relay Station for the Space Based Infra Red System (SBIRS) which will be an integral part of the new American National Missile Defense System – the Son of Star Wars and the start of a new nuclear arms race. The US intend to dominate space for their own interests. There is a huge development under construction. Two SBIRS radomes are in the process of being built right now.
