"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Hanssen was a piker compared to the Traitor In Chief, the greatest communist traitor mole in history.
Good Gawd...that’s all I can say.
BUMP for later reading...
Good outline...but the devil is in the details....as the olde saying goes...
From the book: "Deception: The Invisible War Between the KGB and the CIA" by Edward Jay Epstein
'The threat' was James Jesus Angleton's preferred term for the Soviet Union during his twenty years as chief of the CIA's Counterintelligence Staff. He did not distinguish between the country itself and the Soviet Union's Committee for State Security, the KGB and its allied intelligence services in Eastern Europe. Angleton was a convinced man, and for a dozen years, until his forced retirement in 1974, he had the intelligence services of the West tied up in knots trying to prove that the chief instrument of 'the threat' was deception on the grand scale. This deception consisted of a twin effort to penetrate and ultimately to control Western intelligence services, and to divide and disarm the West politically through agents of influence and the artful manipulation of events and appearances. For years, to take a notorious example, Angleton claimed that the apparent split between the Soviet Union and China was a brilliantly conceived act of deception.
Angleton was the George Patton of the Intelligence community; with the same attributes of patriotism, bluntness, brilliance, a keen sense of history, the ability to grasp and parse the "big picture", and the recognition that the Soviet Union/Russia was a congenital enemy of the U.S.
