British intel may have been leaked to Russia by German 'double-agent'
The Telegraph vis MSN ^ | 1-7-2023 | Jorg Luyken

British intelligence may have been leaked to Russia by an alleged German double-agent, an expert on Berlin’s spy services said.

British spy chiefs are reportedly furious about the affair, which saw a senior figure inside Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) arrested shortly before Christmas.

In one of the most spectacular double-agent scandals in decades, Carsten L, head of a division inside the BND’s signal intelligence wing, was arrested on charges of high treason in December.

Germany believes that he was responsible for passing on highly sensitive battlefield information from the Ukraine war to the Russians.

The case will likely have “deep implications” for future cooperation between the BND and other western spy agencies, said Erich Schmidt-Eenboom, a leading expert on the German spy service.

His level of seniority meant that he had access to highly classified partner intelligences, “in particular that of the (US intelligence agency) NSA”, added Mr Schmidt-Eenboom, author of several books on the BND.

The British “are most incensed” and are now considering whether they will continue to provide the BND with their most sensitive information, he claimed.

Carsten L’s deceit reportedly came to light after the BND was tipped off by a foreign intelligence agency that found a BND document during a sweep of Russian data.

I wonder which foreign intelligence agency found the BND doc in the "sweep". And what is a sweep? Presumably NSA?

I suspect that it’s related to the planned Dirty Bomb (or tactical nuke) false flag that Russia got wind of last fall. The one where they showed the goods to not only India and China, but to also Western Defense Ministers - thereby forcing the West to call it off.

Incredible what the Neocons would do, but then this is an ‘existential war’ to their policy of running the world.

The neocons are plotting every single second of every single day.

Why not be confident? They pulled off a Color Revolution in the United States, FFS.

It’s Fang-Fang, but with consequences.

Which warmongering neocons are you talking about ?
The ones in deep-state Russia (the Kremlin) ?
At least America isn’t annexing foreign countries.
Russia does that.

Don't you feel disgusted with yourself when you betray everything that you purportedly believe? Cheerleading for a Biden scam of a war for fun and profit. The Ukrainians were partners in crime with the Deep State on the coup against President Trump and the impeachment over the Zelensky call. The “whistleblower” Colonel Vindman was a Ukrainian national who had b en offered the position of the Ukraine's defense minister twice.

If you back this stupid war you back the Deep State and the WEF communists.

No, we just invade and occupy them. Or install military bases for their "protection."

You are mixing everything up. You are delusional.
Who likes Biden here, are you mad ?

I’m talking about Russias illegal invasion of another country for God’s sake!
Civilians, men, women and children are being bombarded by Russia with an average of 50.000 artillery shells every single day. You don’t care about that?

What I say we need to stop this war. And you won’t stop it if you don’t try to CONTAIN Russias traditional imperialistic expansionism.

If Russia wins in Ukraine, it will continue to swallow up all of Americas allies.
China will be embolden to invade Taiwan.

As a direct result America will not anymore be able to import a whole load of vital foreign electronic parts... necessary for Americas industry to work.

It would be the end of a large piece of Americas industry. The American worker would be the first hit. Americas economy would in that scenario partly collapse.
This is just a small example, there are many others.

Mr. WMashat, your blatant ignorance is what puts America in danger.
You are indirectly helping the communist military expansion in the world.

Mossad probably caught it - our 'intelligence' people aren't the best and brightest they're too busy playing American politicos and sexual weirdo kink equity BS.

Germany and the UK are not at war with Russia.

How is this treason?

It’s like General Millie calling the Chinese.

"You are indirectly helping the communist military expansion in the world."

What a crock of sh!t. The Ukraine War is a project of the WEF who has as its main goal "You will own nothing and be happy." You are backing a communist led war and a coup in your own country.

It is disgusting to just read your word vomit.

...what an idiotic trope... I can’t wait for the NaziZelinskyy to lose so after DiaperJoe greenlights China’s invasion, we can have all the manufacturing brought back to USA. Then maybe the 7 Million prime out of the work force Americans can get back to making things domestically! What a win, win, win!

Stop funding the DeepState/NeoCon/WEF war plan and stop sending money to Dictator NaziZelinskyy ... ymmv

I’m probably an agnostic on the war. Mostly I am not a fan of the amount of money that we are spending on supporting it. But that doesn’t mean I want Russia to win or think our “allies’ should be funneling intelligence we share with them to the Russians. On anything.

I do think it’s possible that we wanted it shared to keep the conflict going and used this guy at the BND as a cutout, which probably makes me paranoid and conspiracy minded.

While I tend to agree with most of what you said, 50,000 artillery shells per day is fantastical and downright nonsense.

You seem to be in a state of high distress.
Just calm down. Take a few steps back. Think about Reagan. And open your eyes concerning Russia and its KGB-led Kremlin. Also look at Russian history for the last 80 years... Russia has become Soviet Union 2.0 - a true danger for American interests.

Trump understood this. That’s why he sent Ukraine massive loads of high-tech American weaponry - to protect Ukraine against further Russian invasions.

If Trump would have won his election, Russia would have been too afraid to attack one of Americas allies - Ukraine.
