Another post from Thomas that does not say anything about the subject of the thread: John Hart’s, “The Monster Plot”. Perhaps Thomas will get around to it at some point.
In the meantime we can be thankful that the name of this thread is still:
“The Monster Plot, by CIA's Very Own KGB Apologist John L. Hart!”
Michael,
Don't you get it?
The post-1959 (i.e., post inauguration of SCD's "Department 14") shenanigans of "Fedora" (Aleksei Kulak) and "Igor" (Igor Kovshuk) and Yuri Nosenko, as described in Trento's and Hurt's articles, above, (and in other writer's articles and books like, for example,
Spy Wars by Tennent H. Bagley),
constituted the beginning (and very damaging part) of the (ongoing-today, imho) "Monster Plot" that true-defector
Anatoliy Golitsyn tried to warn CIA about, starting in late December, 1961.
Not to mention the "shenanigans" of GRU Colonel Dimitri Polyakov, and KGB officer Igor Loginov, and, and, and ...so many, many others not mentioned in these particular articles.
LOL!
Michael, have I posted this article about "Fedora" and the boys yet?
Please forgive me if I have.

PS Are you ever going to write a letter to former Army Intelligence analyst John Newman and U.C. Berkeley professor Peter Dale Scott, chastising them for having made the really, really big mistake of believing Tennent H. Bagley when he said (in his books and his PDF) that Nosenko was a false defector?
