*Michael Averko, a tireless critic of the Russophobia prevailing in the US
foreign policy*
*establishment, and (therefore) "our free press," had an interesting
encounter with two*
*FBI agents a few days ago.*
*His email reporting it, and his follow-up email noting some responses from
his **readership,*
*reminds us that we're always being watched here in the Great Panopticon
called **"cyber-space." *
*MCM*
*From Michael Averko:*
*Two young men greeted me in front of my home this morning, saying they
were *
*with the FBI and wanted to ask me questions about the Strategic Culture
Foundation. *
*The credentials shown to me (and not shown to me again upon my request)
didn't *
*include a photo ID. They only gave their last names and said they were
reluctant in *
*giving me their first names on the premise that I might formally comment
on this *
*exchange. I regret not taking down their license plate number.*
*They wanted to know about the Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF), adding
that I wasn't in any trouble and that *
*I didn't have to cooperate with them. I noted what happened to Michael
Flynn. Hence, some reluctance on my *
*part to engage with them. The only question I answered was on whether the
SCF has any ties to Russian military *
*intelligence. I answered by saying I can't say for sure and doubt it. I
added that my impression is that the SCF *
*comprises politically interested Russians, who want to be involved with
the issues they cover.*
*I added that if anyone has issues with my commentary, they should deal
with it in a direct manner.*
*Given the problems in the US, (including a rise in crime), it'd be more
prudent for the FBI to not spend such effort *
*on the likes of yours truly. Then again, some, like Susan Rice, have
suggested, without any conclusive proof, that the *
*Russian government might somehow be behind the aforementioned US domestic
concern.*
*Follow-up on July 15:*
*Local office confirmed that the visit was by actual FBI. Feedback is
> interesting. With confidentiality respected, the following includes an
> extended exchange with an Obama admin appointee, who has been big on the
> Russia-bashing media circuit. *
