“The legacy of “Iron Feliks” lives on.”
Never go away the Czar should have shot him.
Sounds like traditional spy activity. Nothing much to worry about. There are likely 10 more in California and 10 American spies in Moscow and 10 more in St. Peterburg. Along with 10 Israeli spies in New York and 10 more in Florida.
just another day in paradise
Indeed he should’ve. History might have turned out differently.
I would have to give her a special extended treatment of my anti-spy therapy. Wrap her up in my American flag and smoother her with my love.
I guess Medvedev wasn’t so willing to donate money to the Democrat war chest.

SNIPPET: “Gordon said the arrests merely show that the two countries have not yet reached the level of “trust and cooperation” where they can be completely open with one another.
“I don’t think anyone in this room is shocked to have discovered that. And so yes, you know, we’re moving towards a more trusting relationship. We’re beyond the Cold War. I think our relations absolutely demonstrate that. But as I say, I don’t think anyone was hugely shocked to know that some vestiges of old attempts to use intelligence are still there,” he said.
The statements appeared to clash with comments from Justice officials, one of whom described the charges as “the tip of the iceberg” of a Russian intelligence conspiracy against the United States.”

“Clinton friend may have been spy’s target”
SNIPPET: “The president of the high-end tax accounting and financial advising firm Morea Financial Services confirmed earlier today that the alleged spy “Cynthia Murphy” was a longtime employee and a vice president at the company, which is located on lower Broadway in Manhattan. Federal and state campaign finance filings suggest that the little-known company manages the finances of one of New York’s top Democratic financiers: Alan Patricof, a venture capital figure and the finance chairman of Clinton’s Senate campaign, as well as a top presidential campaign fundraiser.
According to the federal complaint, Murphy had “several work-related personal meetings” with a person it describes as “a prominent New York-based financier,” and says she and her husband and alleged co-conspirator accurately reported back to Moscow that the financier was “prominent in politics” and “an active fundraiser for” a major political party, as well as “a personal friend” of a current Cabinet secretary, and in a position to provide information about foreign policy.
Murphy, the complaint says, was assigned this person’s account. “

“Alleged spy was tax consultant confirms ‘shocked’ boss”
SNIPPET: “The owner of a New York City accounting company said she was “shocked” at an employee’s arrest on spying charges.
But Barbara Morea, president of Morea Financial Services in lower Manhattan —where Cynthia Murphy was a vice president — said she was unaware of Murphy’s alleged efforts to penetrate American politics via a “prominent New York- based financier” with connections to a Cabinet secretary.”
“Indeed he should’ve. History might have turned out differently.”
Good lesson look at the bad guys released and they went on to torture humanity, From Hitler to Castro.
And Bill Clinton is in Moscow with Pootie Poot.

Ex-spy: May be 50 undercover Russian couples in US

MOSCOW – One of the Cold War’s most famous defectors says Russia probably has about 50 deep-cover couples — and maybe even up to 60 of them — spying inside the United States.
Oleg Gordievsky, a former deputy head of the KGB in London who defected in 1985, said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev would know the number of illegal operatives in each target country.
The 71-year-old ex-double agent .. “there’s usually 40 to 50 couples, all illegal.”
“The president will know the number, and in each country how many — but not their names,” said Gordievsky, ..
The FBI announced Monday the arrests of 10 alleged deep-cover Russian agents after tracking the suspects for years.

‘Russia may have 50 deep-cover agents in US’

Oleg Gordievsky, one of the Cold War’s most famous defectors, says Russia may have as many as 50 deep-cover couples spying inside the United States.
Gordievsky, a former deputy head of the KGB in London who defected in 1985, said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev would know the number of illegal operatives in each target country.
The 71-year-old ex-double agent said that, based on his experience in Russian intelligence, he estimates that Moscow likely has 40 to 50 couples operating under cover in the US.
“For the KGB, there’s usually 40 to 50 couples, all illegal,” said Gordievsky, who defected to Britain after supplying information during the Cold War to the U.K.’s MI6 overseas spy agency.
Gordievsky said he spent nine years working in the KGB directorate in charge of illegal spy teams. “The president will know the number, and in each country how many - but not their names,” Gordievsky said.
The FBI announced Monday the arrests of 10 alleged deep cover Russian agents after tracking the suspects for years. They are accused of attempting to infiltrate US policymaking circles while posing as ordinary citizens.

Ex-Spy Says 50 Undercover Couples in U.S
The Moscow Times ^ | 6/30/2010 | The Associated Press
Posted on June 29, 2010 11:09:10 PM PDT by sonofstrangelove
One of the Cold War’s most famous defectors said Tuesday that Russia may have as many as 50 deep-cover couples spying inside the United States.
Oleg Gordievsky, a former deputy head of the KGB in London who defected in 1985, said President Dmitry Medvedev would know the number of illegal operatives in each target country.
The 71-year-old ex-double agent said that, based on his experience in Russian intelligence, he estimates that Moscow likely has 40 to 50 couples operating undercover in the United States.
“For the KGB, there’s usually 40 to 50 couples, all illegal,” said Gordievsky, who defected to Britain after supplying information during the Cold War to Britain’s MI6 overseas spy agency.
Gordievsky said he spent nine years working in the KGB directorate in charge of illegal spy teams.
“The president will know the number, and in each country how many — but not their names,” Gordievsky said.
The FBI announced Monday the arrests of 10 alleged deep-cover Russian agents after tracking the suspects for years. They are accused of attempting to infiltrate U.S. policymaking circles while posing as ordinary citizens.
Gordievsky said he estimates that there are 400 declared Russian intelligence officers in the United States, and likely 40 to 50 couples charged with covertly cultivating military and diplomat officials as sources of information.
He said the complexity involved in training and running undercover teams means that Russia is unlikely to have significantly more operatives than during his career.
“I understand the resources they have, and how many people they can train and send to other countries,” Gordievsky said. “It is possible there may be more now, but not many more, and no more than 60.”
He said deep-cover spies often fail to deliver better intelligence than their colleagues who work in the open.

Thank you for the ping, good thread, lots of links.
Remember, as a student on a Rhodes scholarship at Oxford, Bill went to Russia and we still are not sure what was up. Recently, we found out Ted Kennedy’s connections with RUssia. We need to know more about Bill!

The Russian spy case that exploded into public view this week was preceded by nearly a decade of cat-and-mouse activities with the FBI, according to court documents and an interview with a senior U.S. official familiar with the case.

“We Spit in Your Eye and Call It Holy Water”
SNIPPET: ““We spit in your eye and you call it Holy Water.” So the old Russian expression goes. For sixty years the truth was so twisted behind the iron curtain, reality was turned upside down. It was a shock...”
SNIPPET: “The President of the United States had nothing to say. Twice he was asked to comment and both times he refused. We heard through that same press that he was miffed…angry the arrests had come shortly after he had shared hamburgers publicly with Russian President, Dmitry Mevedev. How dare the FBI conduct such an embarrassing arrest at such an inconvenient time.
The President was not angry at the Russians, just at the FBI for embarrassing him. He showed no sign of indignation, outrage, or protection for his homeland. Instead, his press secretary, Robert Gibbs rushed to microphone to assure “I do not believe this will affect the reset of our relationship with Russia.””

“Russian Spies: Mission Accomplished”
By JOY TIZ | Published: JUNE 30, 2010
SNIPPET: “Those who are even paying attention to the case of the arrested Russian spies are either all a twitter over the attractive Anna Chapman or snickering about the ineptness of the spy ring for their failure to get any real information of use to the SVR, scion of the KGB.
One cartoon calls the Russian spies “quaint”—a throwback to the olden days when America was worthy of foreign invasion.
Such dismissals reflect a profound ignorance, either willful or the product of too many years of a government run school system. “
SNIPPET: “Bezmenov points out that our enemies in Russia invest a mere fifteen- percent of their time, money and resources into actual espionage—the greater threat comes from what he calls ideological subversion—a slow brainwashing process.
Irrespective of what else we may find out about the Russian spies in coming days, they can legitimately hang their Mission Accomplished banner.”
It just made my day when I picked up the paper and learned that Boris and Natasha have been living right in the middle of my home town, which is already infested with moonbats and mental defectives.
