Ah crap, the long comment I made a while back must have got deleted when I merged the two accounts I created on accident (if you didn't delete it, but that seems doubtful), checked the Wayback Machine, but it hasn't crawled this one in a while, don't suppose it got archived anywhere on your end (if you even recall the conversation)? Was going to try cannibalizing a bit of it for what I'm writing now, but merging the two pretty much trashed everything, still the same guy, but lost all the following I'd built up, people I'd followed, comments, everything, the graph looks downright disturbing, climbs for three months, then goes straight off a cliff, - sigh - seems to be the way of things these days, a DM seemed intrusive, so dropping this here. Hopefully you see this one, am going to try to link this piece in it somewhere, just to add to the point, but tough to tell the story, because there's a shit ton of back-story necessary for the sake of context, hard to know what to put where, it's already getting long, probably going to wind up as long as this piece.....
I am not sure what you are referring to but trust me I sympathize with losing work. If you mean a comment on this story - zombie army - the only one showing up is the one I'm replying to now. Sorry. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Nah, it's okay, we spoke a bit about it, it may have been on another post, you said you were surprised I'd read Hitler's OSS psych eval, and referred me to this post, it may have been on another post, but you've got quite the body of work here, so it was just some straw clutching on my part. Apparently I deleted the wromg account, created one on the pc, and one on the phone not realizing I'd used a different email, so if I wanted to actually start publishing anything beyond long comments, one of them had to go. Anyhow, thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it. :)
The result of 60-plus years (it started at the 1959 21st Party Congress) of KGB* disinformation, “active measures,” and strategic deception counterintelligence operations waged against us and our NATO allies. *Today’s SVR and FSB
Regarding Oleg Kalugin (whom Rick Wilson quotes in his fine article), one must ask why he trashed Tennent H. Bagley’s book, “Spy Wars,” and why he says Yuri Nosenko (1962 & 1964) and Vitaly Yurchenko (1985) were true defectors.
Your comment just sent me down a rabbit hole on Bagley… married a Hungarian and never returned from Brussels? Back to your Jesus James quote although old friends had stories about him that I do recall seeing elsewhere.
I agree with author John M. Newman in his 2022 book, "Uncovering Popov's Mole," where he says Angleton lacked confidence and required a father figure, ergo his being duped by both Kim Philby and by his confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior, Bruce Leonard Solie in the Office of Security. During a tape-recorded meeting on 29 June 1964 between Angleton, Murphy, Ray Rocca and Anatoliy Golitsyn (during which Angleton and Murphy tried in vain to talk Golitsyn into resuming his cooperation with Solie), Angleton said Solie's department (either the Security Research Staff where he was deputy chief or the Research Branch of the SRS where he was chief) was the part of the CIA he was certain wasn't penetrated.
I wrote the Wikipedia article on Bagley which you may enjoy reading. He ripped CIA's official spokesman on Nosenko, John L. Hart, a "new one" during his November 1978 HSCA testimony. Hart had defamed Bagley and his boss in the Soviet Russia Division, David E. Murphy, a few months earlier in his HSCA testimony.
Flying monkeys
Great term!
You must admit:
Q Anons, like Flat Earthers, or John Birch Society: are punk rock af.
Theyre -interesting-.
The way, you know, a necrophiliac gecko is fascinating.
As for garden variety political movements: LAME.
I wanna hear about chemtrails and black helicopters.
You can keep your bullshit, Capitol Hill Roberts Rules of Order horseshit to yourself.

Never trust a Russian spy. Even in that quote. Who knows how many pay master's he had. Equally, interesting he said it at that time.
As James Angleton said, "A double agent will tell you 98 percent truth and 2 percent lies and really mess you up, boy."
Or words to that effect.
