Jack Barsky: The KGB spy who lived the American Dream
BBC News ^ | February 23, 2017 | Brian Wheeler

Posted on 02/28/2017 2:11:25 PM PST by cdga5for4

Jack Barsky died in September 1955, at the age of 10, and was buried in the Mount Lebanon Cemetery in the suburbs of Washington DC. His name is on the passport of the man sitting before me now - a youthful 67-year-old East German, born Albert Dittrich. The passport is not a fake. Albert Dittrich is Jack Barsky in the eyes of the US government. The story of how this came to be is, by Barsky's own admission, "implausible" and "ridiculous", even by the standards of Cold War espionage. But as he explains in a new memoir, Deep Undercover, it has been thoroughly checked out by the FBI. As far as anyone can tell, it is all true.

60 Minutes did an episode on him (The Spy Among Us). I dont seem to have the right plug in to play it. If you can get it to play I am sure you will find it interesting...

Very interesting. He was taught ‘the West was doing so well because they took all the riches out of the Third World’. Sounds like what our college snowflakes are being taught today. Stalin would be so proud of USA Professors today!

Huma was already there, and maybe at the behest of this leather clad nightmare. Dykes on bikes... all of them, including hitlery. For that matter, who is to say the op had handlers behind these— still in place, and it was they who hacked her “private” server and through it... the dnc. Nothing to do with Mr. Trump— and the attacks on him is even more disinformation to protect the democrat’s pals in the FSB.

Highly plausible— right down to murdering Seth Rich, for the thumb drive he was going to give the FBI that morning. It’s what they would do, anywhere in the world.

OK minus the dead 10 year old— how easy would it be to wash obamaumao in Pakistan, kenyan though he was, and pop up as a Hawaii born American citizen, or alternatively American illegitimate child of Frank Marshall Davis and Stanley Dunham, communists all. Helped by a compartmentalized, compromised CIA.
