—” Your information asserting that it was Israel is, of course, disinformation.”
Why is it that only you can make the disinformation call?
Are you more equal than others?
Pls show some of your truthful links.

First, run along and find the link you cited regarding a PDF implicating Israel. You know, the one which you used to imply I fell for a psyop.

No need for me to verify your obvious problem.
That said, if you’re familiar with Google site search, that is a good start. There are many alternatives...
Russian espionage interest in Washington state stretches back for decades — long before the 1992 opening of the Seattle consulate.
In 1987, even amid the glasnost thaw, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer broke a story that Soviet submarines — using intelligence garnered from the spy ring formed by John Walker — had penetrated the Strait of Juan de Fuca through the 1980s. Walker served many years in the U.S. Navy, and the leaked information helped Russians slip past U.S. anti-sub defenses.
A decade later, in 1998, Jack Daly, then a Navy lieutenant and intelligence officer, was dispatched on a Canadian helicopter to take surveillance photographs of a Russian cargo ship in the Strait of Juan de Fuca that was suspected of spying on the Trident submarines. He says the ship fired a laser that singed his retinas. He sued in U.S. District Court over the laser attack and his injury, but in 2002, a jury rejected his claim.
As Russian President Boris Yeltsin took power in the 1990s, there was lots of talk of democracy in Russia, and many U.S. officials thought espionage would ebb. “We wanted our peace dividend, and didn’t want to worry about this anymore,” said Major, who added that the spying did not end and the FBI fought to continue support for counterintelligence as the new consulate opened in Seattle in 1992.
Ayn Dietrich-Williams, FBI spokeswoman in Seattle, declined to comment on FBI surveillance operations in the Puget Sound region. She said the FBI does not disclose the numbers of employees at the Seattle field office because it fluctuates.

The main areas of interest were the Navy brain box in Everett, Bangor Sub base, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard at Bremerton, and what is now JBLM. All connected to anything that employed a strike advantage.

So you have no links or evidence - you just judge others (e.g., me) and sneer that we need to provide you with links instead. No need for me to verify your obvious problem.
Thank you many new bits for me.
One very minor tidbit I recall about Seattle.
My father was career Navy, when Seattle experienced a massive power outage and his ship was called to help.
They deployed MASSIVE cables, he called them shore cables, to help power the city!
We had photos, local newspaper clips, and his crew books...
I recall the photos and the cables looked HUGE!
I would to post some photos, but...
The old man made to almost 92, good years, and we had a nice “Celebration of Life.”
We put up a huge photomontage and laid out many albums...
My sister wanted to copy some, but FORGOT to take them home.
A week or so later, she called the hall, GONE BUT NOT FOR GOTTEN.
“I would to post some photos, but...”
If you have them, you might ask to post them in the Canteen thread. If you’re worried about security of the cables, Uncle Sugar isn’t. You would be surprised what you can discover on line:

Hat off to your father. There is so much talk about the different branches and how they are so competitive. And that is just so much bilge water (Navy term just for your family). In my career I was in a short Army gig, then arter many years retired Air Force, and went on to the Department of the Army where I assisted all branches assigned to JBLM, (everyone except the Coast Guard, they weren’t there) and then went to DOD assisting the same people with different assignments to include the Coast Guard.
This is why they call it “the Mission.” Everybody plays. Hopefully nicely and together.
