Tags: In a world where surveillance and manipulation were pervasive, the KGB, or Committee for State Security, cast an ominous shadow over global politics for nearly half a century. Established in 1954, the KGB swiftly rose as one of the most formidable and relentless intelligence agencies. Espionage, disinformation, and ruthless control tactics were their weapons, infiltrating governments, corporations, and even orchestrating high-profile assassinations, with the recruitment of the infamous Cambridge Five as a centerpiece of their Cold War operations. From 'honeypot' schemes to domestic surveillance and political upheavals like the crushing of the Hungarian Revolution, the KGB's influence knew no bounds, even extending to the brink of nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The KGB's sinister reach extended beyond the Iron Curtain, affecting international businesses through industrial espionage and infiltrating foreign governments at the highest levels. Their disinformation campaigns, exemplified by Operation INFEKTION, sowed distrust and confusion that lingers to this day. The agency's legacy didn't end with the fall of the Soviet Union; it endured through the enduring power of former KGB operative Vladimir Putin, illustrating the lasting impact of their methods and strategies. The KGB's profound manipulation of global political landscapes, and the pervasive culture of suspicion and fear it left in its wake, continues to echo through modern intelligence practices, influencing contemporary political and economic arenas. The KGB wasn’t just an agency; it was a powerful entity that manipulated the very fabric of global politics, leaving a legacy of fear, manipulation, and covert control that is still felt today.

    A prank, in 1855? For 100 miles over the snow? Over rooftops and through walls? I don't think so. Hoaxes back then tended to be for money or fame. This would gain the "prankster" neither of those things. And the effort to travel 100 miles then isn't like today, it was harder and took much more time. No, this was something, but not a prank.

      What people don't understand is that under such circumstance it is less about race and all about power. The Union was just as harsh to Southern POW's as the South was toward Union POW's. Give a man the flimsiest excuse to hate and he will get bigger and harder than Johnny Wad to wage cruelty and terror against that enemy, regardless of race, color, religion, or even the street they live on just...because. Cruel, sociopathic creatures posing as human care only for their power over everyone else. Small, petty creatures scurrying about, shades of men with no passion or talent outside the exercising of horrors upon their fellow humans. Insatiable pits of despair, never to be satisfied until they consume themselves through the flames of their own self-loathing.
