On the pretext of fighting international terrorism the United States
is trying to establish control over the world’s richest oil reserves,
Leonid Shebarshin, ex-chief of the Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service,
who heads the Russian National Economic Security Service consulting
company, said in an interview for the Vremya Novostei newspaper.
Using the anti-terrorist cause as a cover the United States has occupied
Afghanistan, Iraq and will soon move to impose their “democratic orderâ€

The Last Chairman of the KGB
Spymaster, General Leonid Shebarshin[/URL]
General Leonid Shebarshin ran the agents that ran Aldrich Ames and
Robert Philip Hanssen. He read Presidents Reagan's and Bush's CIA
briefings almost simultaneously with the American Commanders-In-Chief.
He is the man every spy on all sides respected—and feared—as a
"pro's pro," and a "soldier's soldier."
General Shebarshin, officially "retired" from service, remains a man
of legendary status among his peers, many of whom he employs in his
private security company (which is almost a "shadow KGB"). He is an
unrepentant Communist who still believes in the spirit of Marxism and
class struggle. In word or deed, he is not a "defector," which is the only
category of former KGB officers the West has heard from over the past
decade.

Tell us something we don't know.

E.g. has this retd. General represented Putin in the past (by floating possibly controvertial plans or issuing proclamations like this), or is he acting privately/on retainer via his security business, representing some other interests? Or is he a public spirited citizen of the world calling it like he see's it?

I can't see why the ruskies, or anyone with a real seat at the table, would blow the gaff on our elites (by drawing attention to resource depletion crisis), to do so would have to reduce own options, assuming there is still room to maneuver. Unless they're willing to risk it cos neocons too nutty/greedy to work with, or time is short.

You better ask Joseph Bosco, the author
