Russian Spy Ship Off Georgia Coast
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 8, 2018 | Bill Gertz

A Russian spy ship is currently conducting surveillance operations in waters near a U.S. ballistic missile submarine base in Georgia, according to Navy officials.

"We are tracking the Viktor Leonov's presence off the East Coast, much like we are aware of all vessels approaching the United States," said Navy Cmdr. Bill Speaks, a Navy spokesman.

"We respect the right and freedoms of all nations to operate in international waters in accordance with international law," he added.

AGIs are not a big deal, but they can join the list with Stormy Daniels, and “Russia” collusion, and emollients, and whatever else the schizophrenic left is freaking out about.

When I was in USAF telecommunications tech school in 1975, we were told of the Russian trawlers monitoring our communications links. So, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

NOT NEWS. They have had AGI’s off the coast nearly every day for the last 45-50 years. It’s what they do. We do it to them too. Every one of their AGI’s get visited by various USN Patrol and Strike aircraft on a pretty much daily basis. Big deal.

Spying using listening devices and radar is not unusual and has been off our coast for many years. They have tapped into our phones, computers, so called crypto devices, and monitored our movements since the 60’s at least.

How do you think we got the pictures of the Cuban missiles in October of 1962? We flew a U2 over them and said “cheese.” We had the U2 and later the SR71. Russia had the NM1 that flew in 1959 and were doing open reconnaissance.

They have advanced with all kinds of goodies since that time. They can probably order the new robot cooks at MacDonalds to attack the local residence with spatulas and potatoes. Did they crack into our computer systems during the election? Yep, and before and after. Long before and still doing it. And the only people the DNC is kidding is the under educated, protected voter base of anyone they can get in here so they can brain wash them. And the DNC knows if anyone admits to the spying going on we have done, it would get us into poop at the UN, and every other treaty group we belong to because we probably spied on them too. And you don’t clean up your waste by admitting it’s yours.

It’s a big game. And almost everyone is playing. You win some, you lose some.

That CCB175 is a lot fancier than the faux trawlers that used to steam straight at us during Un-Reps in the Tonkin Gulf.

We would never stoop to spying on them. Do a search for “Ivy Bells”.

Bugsy Schiff should probably “subpoena” the ship’s captain to ask him if they are there to “collude” and “meddle” in the upcoming November elections.

I hope they know Georgia is a well armed state.

We can sail out and harass them with a laser pointer or something.

No Way, they are after Georgia Caviar. Boiled Peanuts!

This article talks about South Carolina Boiled Peanuts (which are inferior and not as tasty as Georgia Boiled Peanuts), but, it gets the point across.

Coastal Georgia FReepers should be listening for this warning (in a heavy foreign accent):

“Emergency! Emergency! Everyone to get from street!”

The Russians are aware that Ogeechee River caviar rivals Caspian Sea caviar, and they are concerned about its industrial development. That’s what’s really going on.

Maybe they just are trying to get better reception to watch the SEC Basketball Tournament

Last time they tried that in 1968, the Spetsnaz paid a visit and shot the lot ... a very bloody scene.

I wish i had the time to photoshop them unloading voting machines from their spy ship onto Trump’s yacht and then email it to CNN.

There was a Russian spy satellite overhead at the time imaging the entire operation - just ask and they will send the real photos: two for the price of one - only $19.99 plus shipping from Moscow.
