They won't even answer this, another nail in the coffin showing how dishonest they are, and how disgusting the US and its deep state/3 letter agencies is.
This has all been seen before. Nothing new here.
The Sword and the Shield - The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB wrote:
The Watergate scandal, and the
revelations of intelligence abuses which followed, created
a perfect breeding ground for the spread of conspiracy
theories. Though most of the major abuses had been
ordered or authorized by successive presidents, the belief
grew that, in the words of Senator Frank Church,
chairman of the Senate Select Committee to Study
Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence
Activities, the CIA had been “behaving like a rogue
elephant on the rampage.
SERVICE A SEIZED eagerly on Church’s ill-chosen
metaphor. The KGB’s most valuable asset in its active
measures to discredit the Agency was an embittered
former CIA operations officer in Latin America, Philip
Agee (codenamed PONT), who had been forced to
resign in 1968 after complaints at his heavy drinking,
poor financial management and attempts to proposition
wives of American diplomats. Though he remained in
the West, Agee became, in effect, the CIA’s first defector.
In 1973 he approached the KGB residency in Mexico City
and offered what the head of the FCD’s Counter-
intelligence Directorate, Oleg Kalugin, called “reams of
information about CIA operations.” The suspicious KGB
resident, however, found Agee’s offer too good to be true,
concluded that he was part of a CIA plot and turned him
away. According to Kalugin:
Agee then went to the Cubans, who welcomed him
with open arms ... The Cubans shared Agee’s
information with us. But as I sat in my office in
Moscow reading reports about the growing list of
revelations coming from Agee, I cursed our officers
for turning away such a prize.
In January 1975 Agee published an uncompromisingly
hostile memoir of his career in the CIA entitled Inside the
Company: CIA Diary, which identified approximately
250 Agency officers and agents and claimed that
“millions of people all over the world had been killed or
had their lives destroyed by the CIA and the institutions it
supports. The self-congratulatory KGB file on the
book claims, doubtless with some exaggeration, that it
was “prepared by Service A, together with the Cubans.
Mitrokhin’s notes do not indicate exactly what the KGB
and its Cuban ally, the DGI, contributed to Agee’s text.
As Agee himself acknowledged, however:
“Representatives of the Communist Party of Cuba [the
DGI] ... gave important encouragement at a time when I
doubted that I would be able to find the additional
information I needed. While Agee was writing his
book in Britain, the KGB maintained contact with him
through its co-optee, Edgar Anatolyevich Cheporov,
London correspondent of the Novosti news agency and
the Literaturnaya Gazeta.^^ At Service A’s insistence,
Agee removed all references to CIA penetration of Latin
American Communist parties from his typescript before
publication.
The key to understanding this, though, is the CIA came about and became what it was because the US needed it to counter the Russians. So now we have Russian trolls, etc., doing what they do and have done at least since Yalta and, as a result, the CIA remains as a necessity to counter that.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.
