“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That鈥檚 why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power鈥攐bviously they get offended鈥攖hey think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”

“There are scores of people who have never recovered, or been recovered, from an FSB interrogation.
They鈥檙e a hard organization to describe because nothing like the FSB exists in the USA. To get even remotely close, you鈥檇 have to ask the CIA to birth a seven-headed hydra with the faces of the FBI, DEA, NSA, Immigration, Border Patrol, Coast Guard, and the Navy Seals with a hangover and a grudge.”

“There鈥檚 no English equivalent for silovik. It doesn鈥檛 translate succinctly because to create something as Machiavellian as a silovik requires both the KGB and the GRU, and then a shift from communism to capitalism followed by a gear-grinding reverse into despotism.”

“I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.”

“In this way, the Church was a true reflection of the whole of Russian society. The KGB and the Russian people had penetrated each other to such an extent that they could not be separated. The culture of betrayal and suspicion and distrust that the KGB relied on had become part of the national culture, poisoning politics in the 1990s and beyond: decades of corruption, murder and sordid sex scandals. If it cannot purge itself, however, the Russian nation will never rid itself of the illness that has driven people to alcohol. Russians need to trust each other again.”

“An imaginary friend once asked me why Americans can't stand Russia. The answer was cold, deadly, silent, and, well expected. It鈥檚 because in Soviet Russia nothing happens anymore, because it doesn鈥檛 exist anymore. And Americans are all about happenings. If there isn鈥檛 one 鈥� they don鈥檛 go where it isn鈥檛, because there isn鈥檛 anything to happen to them there.”

“Jung Chang said that Mao ruled by getting people to hate each other: 鈥楳ao had managed to turn the people into the ultimate weapon of dictatorship. That was why under him there was no real equivalent of the KGB in China. There was no need. In bringing out and nourishing the worst in people, Mao had created a moral wasteland and a land of hatred.”

“[The Soviet State Security Service] is more than a secret police organization, more than an intelligence and counter-intelligence organization. It is an instrument for subversion, manipulation and violence, for secret intervention in the affairs of other countries.”

“The problem, then, is not East versus West. The problem is that the elites in nearly every country have become rotten and socialist. As Bukovsky wrote in his book, 鈥淓ven the ageless James Bond does not fight the KGB, but is most frequently in an alliance with the KGB, against some mythical super-corporation headed, as a rule, by a lunatic capitalist.鈥�
Bukovsky鈥檚 book, 鈥淛udgment in Moscow,鈥� will be released in English in May. What does he say happened toward the supposed end of the Cold War? Bukovsky wrote, 鈥淭his was a full debacle, a total surrender of its positions by the West at the most critical moment of our history.”

“A few minutes after 8 p.m. on the dark, cold Sunday night of March 4, 2001, Robert Hanssen was apprehended in the otherwise quiet Foxstone Park, in suburban Vienna, Virginia. He had been an FBI Agent for 22 years, looking forward to his retirement, while at the same time spying for the KGB Soviet and Russian intelligence against the United States. FBI Agents had finally caught Hanssen, the mole in their midst, in the act of hiding a plastic bag full of U.S. Government secret documents, under a foot bridge in the park. At the same time other FBI Agents retrieved a package, containing $50,000, thought have been Hanssen鈥檚 payment. Although he was caught red-handed the FBI still had to buy additional evidence before he pleaded guilty to 13 counts of espionage. Hanssen was sentenced to life in prison, without the possibility of parole, and confined in a 鈥淪upermax鈥� prison, where he still remains locked up in his cell, 23 hours a day. It was determined that Hanssen received over $600,000, plus diamonds and cash, during his career as a spy. It was also discovered that he had links to other FBI investigations including the Aldrich Ames and Felix Bloch cases. To date, his 25 years of subversive activities created the worst intelligence disaster in our countries history.”

“He was a chameleon. He could change his appearance in seconds. He was a master in disguise, and he could baffle the best in the game (read CIA, FBI, KGB, etc).
So, to the girl, what looked like a man looking into her eyes and playing the rituals of dating, was in reality the chameleon observing the entrance of the bar behind the girl, near where the group was busy celebrating.
It was all in his ingenious plan - to wait for Alex to enter the bar and then go for the kill!”

“What do I have to do for someone to debunk me, once and for all? Is my thesis so contemptible, so improbable, that nobody dares to take the subject on? How does one explain Yevgenia Albats鈥檚 book, The State Within a State? Or Andrei Codrescu鈥檚 The Hole in the Flag? Or what about Mark Reibling鈥檚 Wedge, where we read of the 94 percent accuracy of KGB defector Golitsyn鈥檚 falsifiable predictions 鈥� back in 1994. And I must say, Golitsyn鈥檚 accuracy rating just went up another couple of percent since China and Russia joined their forces together.

“Nel 1962, il KGB promosse il Dipartimento D trasformandolo in Servizio A, e ordin貌 alle agenzie di intelligence del blocco sovietico di seguire la sua leadership. 鈥淎鈥� ben presto cominci貌 a significare misure attive. Uno degli scopi di questo cambio di nome e di questa nuova terminologia era evitare di concentrarsi in modo controproducente sui fatti o sui non-fatti. Quel che rendeva attive le misure attive non era la correlazione con la realt脿, ma con le emozioni, con i valori condivisi da una comunit脿, e la capacit脿 di esacerbare le tensioni esistenti: nel gergo degli agenti della guerra fredda, di rafforzare le contraddizioni.”
