In what nightmare could you have ever imagined that top KGB officials would be hired by our Government?  Better yet could you have imagined that they would be part of any agency that spies on Americans?  In the mid-20th Century we persecuted innocent people as Communists and destroyed their lives.  Now in the early 21st Century we simply hire the most oppressive and ruthless Communists we can find to help keep us safe?

We didn't stop there however.  After all, no Vile Henchman can fulfill the goals of his master without oppressive laws to back him up.  The concepts of Liberties and Rights tend to get in the way of these things.  The Patriot (aka Tyranny Act) provides the needed basis for your average (if there is such a thing) KGB head to be effective.  Combine with that a Cabinet loyal to whatever the Dictator says and you're on a roll.  It's even better when these same loyalists will go out of their way to justify the actions of the Dictator.

Former KGB counter-intelligence chief, General Oleg
Kalugin, who is a Fox News commentator, recently
stated that Admiral Poindexter's Office of Information
Awareness (OIA) which is involved in spying on United
States citizens, had hired both General Yevgeny
Primakov and General Aleksandr V. Karpos, former
KGB heads, as consultants and advisors. (Primakov in
addition served as Russian Prime Minister in the late
nineties.) (Note: The KGB was the Secret Police in the
former Soviet Union)

Al Martin, whose credibility has been questioned by a
couple of NewsWithViews.com readers, had
previously reported that Primakov and Karpov were
hired by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
This information was disinformation provided by the
Bush Administration to cover up the fact that
Poindexter's OIA had hired Primakov and Karpov.

When the Bush administration realized it couldn't get
away with lying about the hiring of Primakov and
Karpov by Poindexter's OIA, it put out very
effective disinformation to the effect that these two
former Soviet spies had a relationship with the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is a lie.

In this way, when the media goes on its wild goose
chase and calls the Department of Homeland
Security...and the media has been persistent in
getting the truth related to this most unusual story...
the DHS legitimately says that the former KGB chiefs
are not connected with the DHS. What Governor
Ridge's office isn't telling the media is that these two
ex-KGB operatives are working not for DHS but for
Poindexter's OIA which has been set up to spy on
Americans.

It does boggle the mind to find out that the
administration which has waged war against Saddam
Hussein (considered by President Bush to be
responsible for the 9/11 terrorist act) would be
hiring Primakov, a very close friend of Saddam
Hussein's and a terrorist himself, to assist our
government in fighting terrorism.

The Patriot Act provides broad and sweeping powers to the Government.  The National ID card will make it easier to track an enormous amount of data about someone.  All the while our tax dollars will continue to pay for the likes of Primakov and Wolf to keep us "safe."

You might want to be careful how much you clamor for a wall at our borders.  It could be Berlin all over again.
