Former CIA undercover agent: KGB and GRU former intelligence operators assist Hezbollah to penetrate the US
Hezbollah - the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist organization - has more American blood on its hands than any Islamic terrorist ring with the sole exception of al-Qaeda, The American Spectator writes.
Last week FBI Director Robert Muller announced that though the FBI and Customs had caught others, Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some operatives across the Mexican border into the US, he said. "This was an occasion in which Hezbollah operatives were assisting others with some association with Hezbollah in coming to the United States. That was an organization that we dismantled and identified those persons who had been smuggled in. And they have been addressed as well". Former CIA undercover operator Wayne Simmons has been warning of this problem for years, The American Spectator notes. He spent almost two decades posing as an intelligence operative working with Colombian drug lords and risking his life to thwart their operations. Simmons's warning is dire. He marks that many former intelligence operators from the KGB and GRU are hiring out to plan terrorist smuggling operations through Canada and Mexico. Other US editions quoted recently US intelligence and terrorism experts saying that as tensions increase between the United States and Iran, they believe Iran would respond to US military strikes on its nuclear sites by deploying its intelligence operatives and Hezbollah teams to carry out terrorist attacks worldwide. There is also a growing consensus that Iran's agents would target civilians in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, they said.
Terrorism experts considered Iranian-backed or controlled groups - namely the country's Ministry of Intelligence and Security operatives, its Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran) and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah - to be better organized, trained and equipped than the al-Qaeda network that carried out the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Some of the analysts note possible connection between the Iranian intelligence and former Soviet intelligence officers.
The current state of Iran's intelligence apparatus is the subject of debate among experts, Washington Post wrote. Some experts who spent their careers tracking the intelligence ministry's operatives describe them as deployed worldwide and easier to monitor than Hezbollah cells because they operate out of embassies and behave more like a traditional spy service such as the Soviet KGB.
Ping
bttt
But, they're only coming here to seek a better life. /s
"KGB and GRU former intelligence operators assist Hezbollah to penetrate the US"
Translated into Arabic Mexican Government publications to help export its citizens?
Well, they're just coming here to do the terrorism that Americans won't do.
ROFL!
Frankly, what this says to me is that we ordinary citizens must pay attention to what's going on around us.
******Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some operatives across the Mexican border into the US,*******
Boy: I bet that was tough. What did they do give them a boy scout compass and say head north? Just about any idiot can make it into the US.
I think we had first taste of possible international terrorism long time ago. In March 10, 1989, Iranian terrorists Hezbollah bombed Sharon Rogers’ van in San Diego. Sharon Rogers, who escaped unharmed, is the wife of Captain Will Rogers III, skipper of the guided-missile cruiser USS Vincennes, which eight months earlier, in the Persian Gulf, had mistakenly shot down an Iranian passenger jet with 299 people aboard. Iranian officials vowed revenge, and investigators at the time believed terrorists, in retaliation, were responsible for strapping a pipe bomb to the undercarriage of Rogers’ vehicle.
What a shock! Somone call Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Kennedy, Feingold, McCain (RINO) and the rest of the pathetic elected airheads. I'm sure they have no clue that this is happening. They're too busy working on amnesty for terror cells and the rest of our enemies.
BTTT
why former? I say current, just look at Central Command HQ..
The time is coming for zero barrier against Russia. Continue along this path of undermining the US and we will have to respond fully.
They couldn't seem to move fast enough to try to find a way to grant these terrorists amnesty now that alot of info is coming out about the corruption and infiltration at all levels of immigration.
The Russians officialy sanctioned this. There is no other explination.
The Russians have areas in Mexico, and Russians smuggle illegals and foreign agents into the US through the Mexican border, including DGI (Cuban/Venezuelan Intel), Spetsnaz (russian special Forces) and Chinese Special Forces.
Ping!!!
Now post something that a grade schooler can understand,ya know?
"Frankly, what this says to me is that we ordinary citizens must pay attention to what's going on around us."
And on FR too
Wow! I don't remember this van bombing at all. Look how that flew under the radar.
"Well, they're just coming here to do the terrorism that Americans won't do."
LOL!
This article is no surprise to me at all. It is clearly a fact that the KGB and GRU are doing this.
Yet, I suppose freepers still believe it is hugely improbable that the KGB and/or GRU would penetrate and make contact with the vast network of communist organizations that David Horowitz has documented is covering America.
I suppose the vast majority of freepers think it is equally improbable that the KGB and/ or GRU would try to directly influence individual members of the mainstream media---even though the mainstream media functions as a virtual service organization for their interests.
For example, would the KGB try to blackmail someone in a high position in the media. Oh no, that would be tinfoil hats. Could the KGB be maintaining contact with Hillary Clinton, a person who was in a vitriolic Marxist as a graduate student? More foil hats I suppose, correct? And I suppose it would be equally paranoid to attach any importance to Bill Clinton's journey through eastern Europe and into Russia as a young man.
To exit from my Ping list, just send me one request to that effect, public or private.
I don't know that it's active KGB (FIS?) and GRU that's doing this. Far more likely is that *former* operatives that are now out of favor or have lost their contacts at high levels that left their service and are now for sale to the highest bidder *or* are conducting operations against us on their own. Not at all uncommon in this post-Cold-War era.
It is hard not to believe they continue on a long term to infiltrate this country in all sectors of interest. People like Hildabest are already usefull idiots. What equally concerns me is the fact a lot of these agents can slip in from Canada and Mexico with ease. Once in situ. They lurk. Wait for a signal to blow something up. Heck with all the stuff now being translated that show without a doubt even Saddam was arranging for terror cells to be implanted in the US, how can anyone doubt the Russians are not still in on this little nasty game. An who better to play the game with then goons like Hisbollah.

it didnt fly under the radar, i remember it quite well

I wonder if Jewish related facilities in US may be a target too.

Wasn't there also another incident in So. Cal where an entire family (whose head was defense or intelligence emplyed) was killed ?

"The Russians officialy sanctioned this. There is no other explination."
Agreed. if rogue agents tried something like this without Russian approval, the Russians would hunt them down like dogs.

Agreed. The only thing that surprises me is that they were unprofessional enough to be detected.
"The Russians have areas in Mexico, and Russians smuggle illegals and foreign agents into the US through the Mexican border, including DGI (Cuban/Venezuelan Intel), Spetsnaz (russian special Forces) and Chinese Special Forces."
Interesting comments. Please expand if you have more information. What kind of "areas" do the Russians have in Mexico?
"I wonder if Jewish related facilities in US may be a target too."
I wouldn't waste too much energy wondering about that. This is Hezbollah; they wouldn't overlook us Jews.
"******Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some operatives across the Mexican border into the US,*******

LOL! Point taken.
Our Government does not deserve the trust and confidence we as the electorate have given it.
It's time for a house cleaning from the top down. The Security and safety of our Citizens MUST be top priority, yet these political Maggots continue to play footsie with foreign countries while people who want us dead in large numbers, sneak or are snuck, across our southern borders.
Damn them all in Washington DC. Damn them Republican and Democrat alike.
