Tell Them Nothing!!
link Russian spy ring: 11th suspect arrested in Cyprus; Moscow calls spy claims ‘baseless and improper’.
Interesting story about how a number of ‘deep’ cover Russian spies have been living in the United States for years, under the guise of very innocuous citizens. Obviously surprised by the discovery of their ‘alleged’ agents, the Russians employ the classic “did not!” response. In the case of the gal pictured in the article, Anna Chapman, she went as far as to get a divorce and drive minivans, the ingenious melding into mainstream society. Some of the spies even had kids. Talk about method acting.
So far, it’s unclear what kind of surveillance they have been up to, but given the state of American culture, I’m sure they weren’t exactly on the verge of government overthrow. You can imagine the reports back to KGB headquarters that the Americans have elected a socialist leaning government, have cratered their banking and industrial system, have rampant corruption in the administration and the influential people in culture are the likes of Michael Moore and Sean Pean, both avowed anti capitalists. Why spy when they could have got the same reports off MSNBC? An ex VP is now a world statesman who wishes to have people drive around on bicycles to save penguins. Why bother to undermine or sabotage the government when the liberal press already does it? Rolling Stone magazine is the best anti military weapon the Taliban ever had.
In any event, the article says that the woman, Anna Chapman actually founded an on line real estate company worth 2 million dollars. Two things jump out here. First, if she has built a company worth 2 million dollars, why would she want to go back to Russia to work for mere rubles? Secondly, if Russian spies can be so successful and industrious, the U.S. should actually recruit them to jumpstart the economy. The question the U.S. government should be posing to these spies is, are there any more of you and how soon can they come?
