Spies Among Us
by: Brittany Fortier, September 01, 2009
The world of espionage has been full of danger and intrigue, but today it draws criticism from those who question both the capabilities and usefulness of intelligence gathering. It seems the American Left it still in denial as to the extent of the danger posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr, authors of the new book Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America, had the opportunity to study the notebooks of Alexander Vassiliev, a former Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) officer who was given special access to records of Soviet intelligence operations. The notebooks contain new information regarding Soviet espionage during the Cold War, particularly concerning intelligence operations against the United States.
The book affirms that Alger Hiss was indeed a spy for the KGB.

check out FDR’s administration. It was full of communist agents.
None of them can hold a candle to the traitor in chief, the world’s most successful communist traitor mole.
What concerns me more right now is the number of anti-American radicals who currently hold powerful positions in our government, up to and including the Presidency. They are undermining our country in ways old-time spies and traitors like Hiss only dreamed about.
Many of the government officials in the Obama Administration are probably giving secrets to Russia and China for free.
