Spy Wars The Empire Strikes Back

We have suspected (and with good reason!) that the American Intelligence Community has infiltrated alternative science and paraphysics networks, for various reasons."The Sunday Times" ran a story about ever increasing numbers of Russian spies penetrating U.S. interests. According to the story, "the SVR, as the former KGB's foreign intelligence arm is now known, is using a network of undercover agents in America to gather classified information about sensitive technologies, including military projects under development and high-tech research."A few years ago we were following up on a lead inspired by Nick Cook's book, The Hunt for Zero Point, a look inside the deep-black hidden world of exotic technology research. After searching government archives we uncovered an obscure budget document for antigravity research. It is exactly this kind of research that we suspect is of interest to intelligence operatives as part of an effort to stay ahead of the breakthrough science game. This is the same game that also offers unique opportunities for counter-intelligence, as well as cover operations for transferring secret information in disguise."The Times" article tells the story of a Russian operative living under an alias in Montreal. Why Montreal? According to" The Times", counterintelligence agents believe Montreal was chosen as it is the center of the Canadian Aerospace Industry.There is a close network of contacts connecting the aerospace technology military industrial complex with the often wacky but potentially serious alternative science network. It is not surprising that we find officers of the U.S. government involved.I recently had a friendly chat with Gus Russo, an investigative journalist and author, about some of the possible reasons we find high-level intelligence officials so close to the weird and bizarre world of paranormal physics and the UFO community. We agreed that there were numerous reasons for the involvement of the officials, but were somewhat baffled by their overt presence, given that their employers generally prefer the quiet under the table approach to these matters. Perhaps they are deliberately trying to draw out some of the players from the other side?"The Times" article suggests it has become easier since the cold war for the Russians to penetrate American intelligence agencies. And these penetration events are not confined to placement of agents in situations where they can collect intelligence within the borders of the United States. Cyberspace has created numerous opportunities to access private computers containing documentation about research: theory, email and chat between scientists, and even their military advisers. It also presents an opportunity to place counter-intelligence where the other side can easily access the information.We suspect that this might explain some of the overt methods seen in the UFO community. Perhaps that is why we were cautioned about exposure of methods, as well as sources.
