Interesting that he knew he violated US, knew who Philip Agee was, but did it anyway. I guess Brown has never heard about Castro's record on human rights. Also: he prefers Cuban news coverage (that is, government dictated propaganda) to that of his own country.

I read his book (and still have it, in storage) “Inside the Company”.

He was one of the worst of the worst. He made Ellsberg look like a piker.

VERY interesting that Moonbean Brown used him as a guide. Ofcourse AGEE died in CUBA. In 2008. I wonder if MB Brown went to the funeral.

“Brown then surprised me with a query of his own. “Do you know who this guy Philip Agee is?” Before I could reply, he added guilelessly, “He’s our travel agent.”

***

Prior to his reinvention as a Cuban tour guide, Agee, who died in 2008, was a CIA agent who had disclosed the identity of scores of U.S. intelligence assets in 1975 before fleeing the country. Many in U.S. intelligence, including former CIA director George H.W. Bush, believed that Agee’s disclosures led to the murder of at least one of those named.”

THE OPERATIVE PART OF THE STORY!!!

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Jerry also had a “Castro District” problem....if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I always thought that Linda Ronstadt was a beard. That whole thing just didn’t ring true.

In 1978 the US secretary of state, Henry Kissinger, urged James Callaghan, the British prime minister, to deport Agee. The reason given at the time was that Agee, by exposing CIA activities, he had helped a socialist, Michael Manley, to be elected as prime minister in Jamaica. As Callaghan actually led a so-called socialist government, the home secretary, Merlyn Rees, informed Labour Party colleagues that Agee was being deported because he was behind the deaths of two British agents.

And the media is worried about a housekeeper.

After last Saturdays Commie Fest, you would think the media might be mildly interested in this story.

Because, in their hearts, they want to BE commie dictators. There is no doubt in my mind if John Kerry could become a commie dictator, he would do it in a heart-beat because he thinks he is so much smarter than everyone else, and knows what is good for us better than we do. That is the essence of commie dictator-hood.

I grew up in CA and was still there during part of his administration. There were persistent rumors to that effect. Once those rumors started, then whaddayano... onto the scene popped Linda Ronstadt.

Yep, you are correct.

And now many of the Dems admit it, they admit to being “Progressives” which in the current use of the word means a Commie who has not yet come out of the closet.

“A liberal (Progressive) is a closet Communist, a Marxist is coming out of the closet and a Communist is out of the closet trying to push you in.” ~R.J. Ringer

Yes MEG pick up.

This story is not from some “right-wing” GOP Mouthpiece.

This is from the elitist leftie Tina Browns daily Beast.

Com-on msm don’t you trust your own.

Yep.

“John Kerry can be seen on the left. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin is in the middle. And on the right the president of Nicaragua and the leader of the communist Sandinistas, Daniel Ortega”
