Just what kind of intelligence are the British and Americans trying to intercept through their base on Ascension? In light of recent revelations, it seems highly likely that both are interested in oil espionage in the South Atlantic.
FOCUS is a fourth-generation programming language (4GL) computer programming language and development environment that is used to build database queries. Produced by Information Builders Inc., it was originally developed for data handling and analysis on the IBM mainframe. Subsequently versions for minicomputers and such as the VAX and other platforms were implemented. FOCUS was later extended to personal computers and (in 1997) to the World Wide Web: the WebFOCUS product.
The description of FOCUS brought my mind immediately to the 702 to/from and about queries that were abused by contractors and Admiral Rogers brought to everyones attention.
I dont know if it is related. Look through the Conservative Treehouse archives for many articles concerning the illegal 702 queries. FOCUS was never mentioned as far as I can remember.
Ascension Island is insane with its history. Events of interest: Preventing rescue of Napoleon, fighting the Atlantic slave trade, Eastern Telegraph Company in 1899, used to launch research rockets into the upper atmosphere while NASA tracked Apollo flights to the moon.
These events are suspect, and this doesn't even get into the Intelligence and War(s) angle.

FOCUS
The US Space Force is also there. Space Operations Command (SpOC). 45th Mission Support Group. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Ascension_Island
