The case of a suspected spy at the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) is more explosive than previously known. According to SPIEGEL information, the Russian secret service FSB tried last fall to use BND employee Carsten L., who has since been arrested, to obtain position data on the Ukrainian army's artillery and air defense positions.
According to the investigation, the FSB instructed the BND agent, through the intermediary Arthur E., to siphon off and hand over GPS data from the US-supplied Himars multiple rocket launcher and the Iris-T air defense system supplied by Berlin to the BND and hand it over to the BND. People familiar with the case say it's unlikely that such data was actually shared.
The presumed order reflects the situation at the front. In the fall, the Ukrainian army had managed to gain spectacular ground - also thanks to the rocket launchers from the United States.
Attorney General Peter Frank is investigating Carsten L. and Arthur E. on suspicion of treason. Both are in custody.
L. was arrested shortly before Christmas after a Western intelligence service alerted the BND to a possible leak in the fall. He was known among colleagues for his radical right-wing views. These are said to have become known during a security check at the BND. However, the topic was not pursued. He was even promoted recently.
BND wants to check security precautions
After years of working in the "Technical Intelligence" department at the BND, he was ultimately responsible for the security checks of his colleagues. Because Carsten L. apparently found it easy to smuggle the information out of the BND for Russia, the German foreign intelligence service now wants to review its security precautions.
His alleged accomplice Arthur E. was arrested in January at Munich Airport when entering the United States.

The FSB hasn’t been asleep at the wheel - it is working its sources in the West. At the same time, it’s amusing the way this alleged source outed himself through his overtly pro-Russian sympathies, presumably expressed in the workplace. Whereas Robert Hanssen, the KGB mole who did huge damage to US intelligence collection efforts, was a member of Opus Dei, a right wing Catholic organization that would seem to be diametrically opposed to the Soviet Union.

Anything that helps to bring this war to a quick ending (other than a nuclear exchange) is FINE BY ME!
Yes Bob, you never miss an opportunity to tell us you’re a degenerate Putinist.
“He was known among colleagues for his radical right-wing views.”
Yeah, that just screams Russian agent...
Makes me more suspicious that he was framed to purge anyone opposed to the globalist/leftist agenda.
“Yes Bob, you never miss an opportunity to tell us you’re a degenerate Putinist.”
No, just prefer to NOT have a Nuclear War. But I do understand that the Operatives here have been told to discount that possibility.
“Yes Bob, you never miss an opportunity to tell us you’re a degenerate Putinist.”
Kazan with his vitriol has BobL beat, plus sure seems to be of Russian extraction. K is rooting for his home team. While Bob looks like a Ron Paul acolyte.
Then there was hyper Putinist “Cranked”, who got bounced last month.
Confess.... You love Ron Paul. Now I hear him pitching gold on the radio.
“Confess.... You love Ron Paul. Now I hear him pitching gold on the radio.”
Yep, last time he pitched gold was early 2008 - said that there would soon be a real estate crash.
Glad I listened to him!
btw.... I am not anti-gold. And RP is pitching it tooo-Day!
“btw.... I am not anti-gold. And RP is pitching it tooo-Day!”
Considering that we just JETTISONED the Petrol-Dollar to keep the DNC Money-Stream rolling in from Ukraine, I’d say that Ron Paul is on to something.
It is obvious BS. No weapon system all time stay in one location. They are moving constantly. SO one needs to relay such info in real time which is not possible.
“Considering that we just JETTISONED the Petro-Dollar to keep the DNC Money-Stream rolling in from Ukraine”
I have not heard this. Any references? Here or anywhere?

Much of German far-right, like their French counterparts, hate les anglo-saxons and the AfD is reknowned for its anti-Americanism.

Watch “The Last Emperor” and you’ll understand what it’s like to be played by the people who now control you.
Nuclear war will be far more likely, if we allow Russia or China to take more land, natural resources and people. It will also be more likely, if we give in to nuclear threats from those nations. Their despotic rulers are more attracted to taking more wealth and power than anything else. When they feel that their nuclear forces are built up enough and sense enough weakness (fear) from our side, they’ll launch. They’re bullies.
Sometimes people posing as peaceniks look much more like bullies in disguise from their comments. Maybe they sympathize with the enemy and want him to win.
‘Nuclear war will be far more likely, if we allow Russia or China to take more land, natural resources and people.’
Link please.
Back in the day I just walked over to the German BND compound, no one was around so I just walked in and played with their tiny Radio Shack pocket tape recorders and left a note on a note pad “Merry Christmas from Det 4”. If they had seen the inside of our compound their heads would have exploded.
“Watch “The Last Emperor” and you’ll understand what it’s like to be played by the people who now control you.”
Thanks. Most likely I will watch it this weekend. I just read the Wikipedia on it.
