Fascinating

@fasc1nate

In 2015, a Manchester man started graffitiing giant penises onto potholes so that the council would clear them up faster. He was nicknamed 'Wanksy'.

The Australian embassy (and many others) treated one Chinese scholar as a valued contact and source in the 2000s. Here he is at the Australian ambassador's residence. My book shows he's a senior undercover MSS officer specialising in influence operations against Five Eyes nations

NEW: Lacking the time and resources to have all the KGB training manuals I have translated and analyzed, I've decided to put the originals (in Russian) up at @4freerussia_org's "Lubyanka Files" portal. All are listed by title (in English). Enjoy!:

29 KGB Training Manuals (1965-1989)

Mostly Russian originals

@rootsecdev @thegrugq @electrospaces I think they swapped out all the 8" floppys for GoTek's

Russian artillery commander is annoyed by the fact that his subordinate missed by 500m, as evidenced by this intercepted radio call. He calls him a "mathematician", an "accountant", and offers to purchase certain sex toys to improve firing accuracy.

Slovakia kicked out GRU spy (="assistant military attache") Lt. Col. Sergey Solomasov. Slovakia's security agency was able to videotape Solomasov during his cringeworthy recruitment of a Slovak asset (who was apparently wearing a wire). Do these bad movie lines ever work?
