LadyEllen -> the Russians are coming! (6/28/2010 2:11:19 PM)

Or rather they came some years back and have just been discovered.

Multiple arrests of deep cover Russian agents. All that fuss over the Patriot Acts eh and Bush couldnt catch 'em?

(stir, stir)

Since they were already here in the early 90s, the Patriot Act wouldnt do anything to catch them. Listening to Joe McCarthy might have.

This is rather strange.
NY Times reports [ http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/29/world/europe/29spy.html?hp ]

A spy swapped identical bags with a Russian official as they brushed past each other in a train station stairwell. Messages were written with invisible ink, hidden in the data of digital pictures, and encoded in messages sent over shortwave radio.

It sounds almost funny considering there is really no need for such methods. It is practically impossible to detect a good spy considering millions of foreigners in USA studying, working, immigrating.

LadyEllen -> RE: the Russians are coming! (6/29/2010 3:13:30 AM)

So what on Earth was all the fuss about intrusion into privacy then Wilbur? Are you saying that the Patriot Acts didnt enable government to spy on the American people and their guests? That they provided no benefit in terms of enhanced monitoring and intelligence gathering capabilities?

What then was the point of these Acts? Surely if they are so toothless, and so incapable of discovering a Russian spy ring moving in on Washington, not to mention some Pakistani guy parking a car bomb in New York, then they are hardly worth having at all? One might even advance a position that they were enacted in order "to be seen to be doing something" perhaps?

Or would you have preferred waterboarding anybody "furreign lookin'" to be sure, especially in the absence of that fascist aka McCarthy?

I cant believe youre dumb enough to ask that. It`s as if you are stuck in some 1950s right wing time warp.

Joseph Losey springs to mind for a start.

It seems you can add History, along with Physics and Economics to Wilbur's areas of study

And Linus Pauling, Dashiel Hammett, Orson Welles, Leonard Bernstein, Dorothy Parker, Nelson Algren and Charlie Chaplin.
(Pete Seeger doesn't count because he actually was a communist, though.)

Of course.   It is the GOLD.  Again.




Moonhead -> RE: the Russians are coming! (6/29/2010 4:56:02 AM)

You really enjoyed Goldfinger, didn't you, pa?




pahunkboy -> RE: the Russians are coming! (6/29/2010 4:59:12 AM)

What is that?

I dont watch TV.




Moonhead -> RE: the Russians are coming! (6/29/2010 5:00:44 AM)

Bond film from the '60s. One of the better ones.




LadyEllen -> RE: the Russians are coming! (6/29/2010 2:35:50 PM)

I'm going to take a punt on this and say its all going to come to nothing and turn out to be a hoax or some daft game these people were playing that the security services have taken seriously.

It just doesnt seem right to me somehow.

Depends on what you mean by "study". I read extensively, but never majored in it.




Brain -> RE: the Russians are coming! (6/29/2010 11:52:03 PM)

I want the Russians to become members/partners in NATO – it is about time and they are no threat to the west whatsoever.




Brain -> RE: the Russians are coming! (6/30/2010 12:03:22 AM)

This is great, the Italian version
