Every Russki in America arrested for spying

Yes, they're all at it, in their fur hats, pointy tails and impeccable American English. Bring back James Jesus, cue a re-run every hackneyed spy film ever made, and narco-dosh all round for the ethnic cleansers of Osh.

On this morning's 0600hrs news bulletin on Radio 4's Today programme, the newsreader, Ms Joan Hunter Dunn, appeared close to orgasm as she read the predictable string of cliches ("secret messages...invisible ink...swapping identical brief cases"). Was Christopher Andrew, spook recruiter and PR man, hidden beneath her desk, I wonder?

The FBI case appears to center on the allegation that the cloven-hooved Chekists were engaged in penetrating the US Govt. I find this very difficult to believe, on the not unreasonable ground that the aforementioned do not appear to have targeted AIPAC, thus rendering the entire charge absurd.

That's right, the Ruskies are too late. AIPAC was there first. But the FBI don't really care about that :hmmmm:.

U.S. Charges 11 in Russian Spy Case
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704103904575336411979640900.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Federal prosecutors alleged 11 people were spies living secret lives in American communities, from Seattle to Washington D.C., sent years ago to infiltrate U.S. society and glean its secrets.

In an extensive and bizarre affidavit whose details echoed Cold War spy thrillers, the Federal Bureau of Investigation claimed the alleged spies were sent here by the Russian overseas intelligence service known as the SVR—the successor to the Soviet KGB—as early as the mid-1990s, and were provided with training in language as well as the use of codes and ciphers.

Published on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 by the Telegraph/UK Russia Condemns 'Baseless' US Allegations over 'Secret Agents'

Russia has condemned allegations that it ordered 11 secret agents to run a “deep cover” spying operation in the US as “baseless”.

by Murray Wardrop and Toby Harnden in Washington

The Russian Foreign Ministry said the arrests by the FBI were "deplorable" at a time when the two countries' leaders were trying to improve relations.

A defendant known as "Anna Chapman" allegedly communicated with a Russian official in Manhattan in January as she sat in a coffee shop and he pulled up outside in a van. The FBI alleges that they used a wireless network via paired computers. (Photo: Facebook)

The defendants are accused of being so-called "illegals", working for the Russian foreign secret service under false identities to penetrate US government policy-making circles.


It is alleged that they were tasked with gleaning intelligence on nuclear weapons, foreign policy and Congressional politics.
The scandal comes just days after a bilateral summit between President Dmitry Medvedev and US President Barack Obama that was designed to underscore warming ties between the two Cold War adversaries.

In a statement, Russia's Foreign Ministry said: "Such actions are baseless and improper.
"It is highly deplorable that all of this is happening against the background of the reset in Russia-US ties announced by the US administration itself."
Earlier, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, accused the US of remaining silent over the string of arrests on Sunday evening. and demanded an explanation.

During a visit to Jerusalem, Mr Lavrov said: "The subject was not explained to us. I hope they will explain."
He added: "The only thing I can say today is that the moment for doing that (making the arrests) has been chosen with special elegance."
The FBI accuses the SVR, the successor organisation to the Soviet Union's KGB, of running a network of "illegals", described in court documents as Russians who received training in languages, codes and ciphers, invisible writing and counter-surveillance before living in the United States under false identities.
Each of the 10 was charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison on conviction.

They were alleged to have met US government officials given codenames such as "Farmer", "Parrot" and "Cat" as well as engaging such tried and tested espionage methods as dead drops and brush passes.
As well as the 10 arrested in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Virginia over the weekend, the FBI identified an eleventh suspect, known as "Christopher R. Metsos" who remains at large.
The nature of their work was said to have been outlined in a secret message to two of those arrested: "You were sent to USA for long-term service trip.

"Your education, bank accounts, car, house etc - all those serve one goal: fulfil your main mission, i.e. to search and develop ties in policy-making circles in US ..."
Many of the details of the criminal complains read like an outline of a John LeCarre novel.

A defendant known as "Anna Chapman" allegedly communicated with a Russian official in Manhattan in January as she sat in a coffee shop and he pulled up outside in a van. The FBI alleges that they used a wireless network via paired computers.
Two months later, a similar communication allegedly took place when she was in a bookshop and the Russian official, based at Russia's mission to the United Nations, was outside with a briefcase.

Chapman was later approached by an FBI agent posing as a Russian who told her: "My name is Roman, I work in the consulate."
He told her to give a false passport to another agent and that she was to introduce herself her by saying: "Excuse me but haven't we met in California last summer?" The other agent was to reply: "No, I think it was in the Hamptons."

A message from alleged conspirators in Boston gave details about a new head of the CIA and the 2008 presidential election gained from a "former legislative counsel for US Congress".
The complaint also detailed how one of the accused known as "Donald Howard Heathfield" met a former high-ranking US government official to discuss "research programmes on small yield high penetration nuclear devices.

An accused known as "Cynthia Murphy" allegedly sent back a number of reports about the global gold market.
Court papers allege that the defendants led ordinary suburban lives, "deepening" their false identities by taking ordinary jobs, living as married couples, having children and even trying to buy homes in the US.
Prosecutors claim: "Illegals will sometimes pursue degrees at target-country universities, obtain employment, and join relevant professional associations; these activities deepen an illegal's ‘legend'.

"Illegals often operate in pairs - being placed together by Moscow Centre while in Russia, so that they can live together and work together in a host country, under the guise of a married couple.
"Illegals who are placed together and cohabit in the country to which they are assigned will often have children together; this further deepens an illegal's ‘legend'."

Experts have expressed their astonishment at the scale and dedication of the scheme allegedly undertaken by SVR.
Oleg Kalugin, a former KGB general who was a Soviet spy in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s under "legal" cover as a diplomat and Radio Moscow correspondent, said he believed the project was more ambitious than similar attempts by spies during the cold war.
He told the New York Times: "It's a return to the old days, but even in the worst years of the cold war, I think there were no more than 10 illegals in the U.S., probably fewer."

Vladimir Kolesnikov, deputy chairman of the security affairs committee in the lower house of Russia's parliament, said the arrests signalled that some quarters of Washington opposed warmer ties with Russia.
"Regrettably, there are people in America burdened by the legacy of the Cold War, the legacy of double standards," he said. "And they react improperly to the warming of relations spearheaded by the presidents. It's a blow to President Obama."

He said that US secret agents were active in Russia and suggested that Moscow might respond in kind to Washington's round-up.
"Previously we have quietly evicted some of them," he said. "Now I think we should more actively apply criminal legislation against them."

Wot? By sharing bodily fluids via "paired computers" in Starbucks?

I note that British and American MSM has played up the "it's like a spy novel" aspect, whilst failing to challenge the ludicrous nature of the claims.

Of course if this story was about American "sleeper" agents trying to glean intelligence on nuclear weapons, foreign policy and Kremlin politics by (shock horror) wireless internet communication whilst sipping sweet lemon tea in Red Square, MSM would be describing the claims as baseless and like a "conspiracy theory".

I note these "sleepers" were so successful at getting to heart of the American secret state that their jobs included such high-level fare as realtor... Or in English, estate agent...

Haven't kept up with the story, but the local and American media are equally near-orgasm and a lot of the usual commentators are mum. I do take note of a sizeable group of former Russian peoples residing in and around Boston (and many other urban centers, no doubt)(to say nothing of those who find rural terrain similar to their homeland) who 'traffic' in all manner of goods, funds, and mail or other communication. That there is a Russian criminal network is undeniable, sometimes trading in identity data and whatever else commands a market. I have seen more Russian candy than I can shake a stick at, and try to keep it at broom-handle length away. And I don't frequent Starbucks. There is no need when we have the coffee franchise chain owned by the Carlyle Group.

Due to an absurd embroglio involving the resident Jack Russell, a defective poop bag (it turned out to be sealed at both ends), and a southpaw ginger cat with a death wish, I was unable this morning to celebrate the work of Gordon Careerist, BBC Radio 4’s resident Insecurity Correspondent, before going to work. I now remedy that omission.

After a titillating warm-up act provided by Rupert Wingnut-Hayes, MI6’s current Moscow station-chief, Careerist, the obvious recipient of an early morning briefing from the occupants of the Thames-side Babylonian Palace, worked himself into a state of erotic frenzy:

“…brush contacts…false identities…Moscow Centre…drop sites…private wireless networks…a great mix of old and new technologies…illegals…Kim Philby…Boris the Spider…John Entwistle…”

Quite why I have to pay a tenner a month for the privilege of listening to this string of brain-dead spook clichés is beyond me, particularly when there is a perfectly good Zionist pornographer, Dicky Desmond, awash with lolly, and ambitious of doing the world some good, waiting in the wings to pick up the tab.

From this morning's Daily Coalitiongraph, our old friend, Con Coffin:

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/concou...-the-west/

Quote:The spy scandal shows Russia is no friend of the West

They might not have comprised the most glamorous spy ring the world has ever seen, but the 11 people arrested in the U.S. for spying for Moscow is yet another chilling reminder that modern Russia, for all its protestations to the contrary, is no friend of the West.

Only last week Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian President, received a personal gift of an Iphone 4 from Apple magnate Steve Jobs when, during a visit to Silicon valley, he proclaimed the joys of close commercial cooperation between Russia and America. No doubt Russian technicians are now busily dismantling the new device to see how best they can copy it profitably for their own companies’ use.

Mr Medvedev might present the happy, smiley face of Russia to the outside world, but only a fool would be taken in by this ploy. In London the Russian Embassy runs as many agents in Britain as it did at the height of the Cold War, and I imagine the same goes for the U.S.. And why do the Russians still feel the need to maintain their extensive network of agents?

Part of it is motivated by their historic paranoia that everyone is out to get them: but the main motivation is a desire to make sure the Kremlin is always one step ahead of its Western rivals, whether it comes to basic commercial calculations about how best to exploit Western markets, or how to keep the West on the defensive so far as global security challenges are concerned.

Either way, you can bet on the fact that nothing Moscow ever does is aimed at making life easier for its so-called allies in the West.
