Invasion...?

Sigh, it's not like I haven't provoked comments like these. 

Historically, a case can be made though that whenever Russia and Germany were at war it cost both dearly. And when we got along, we both benefitted.

"Homeboy Security".....I like it!  New department name to make the unit more "publicly accessible"....

i might have a file somewhere as well for 'sixties political stuff'. how would i go about finding out for sure. freedom of information act?

the guys at homeboy security probably got  this email the second i posted it. paranoia....

Since FBI files on civilians were illegal then, they don't technically "exist," so you can't use FOI to get at one. Homeland files, OTOH, are 'legal' but probably off-limits for "security reasons."

Wisely spoken and true. But the relationship between Russia and Germany was insofar tragic as Russia from czarist days and even in communism always saw Germany as a role model country, perhaps because Germany is the most eastern country of Western Europe and has always had this middleman role. Likewise, Russian culture and especially literature was always held in high esteem in Germany. There was a perceived kinship which only the Nazis attempted to destroy.
