What? Impossible! Well, think about Aldrich Ames, CIA; Robert Hansen, FBI; John Walker, Jr., U.S. Navy; Jonathan Pollard, U.S. Navy civilian employee. All the media outlets denounced them as reprehensible traitors, without any redeeming virtues (unless you count Pollard’s Zionism).
Yet, Mr. Kuzimov, a Russian traitor who sold his country out for $500,000 and Ukrainian citizenship, is a hero to the BBC (a British, state-run news organization) and the Washington Post, which too often speaks for the United States government.
Maksim Kuzimov
Given the paucity of information concerning his mysterious death in Spain, the bald assertion that “the Russians did it” is scarcely believable. Simply look at the curious facts available:
· In return for the payoff, he stole a Russian helicopter and gave it to the Nazified Ukraine, along with military information and spare parts;
· Two other men aboard the chopper were shot. Did he do it or did the Ukrainians as the airmen fled to the Russian frontier;
· Wasn’t he promised safety for his Russian family and aid in their reaching the Ukraine?
· He had an ex-wife and an ex-mistress, the latter discovering his body.
· Someone shot Kuzimov several times and then ran over him with an automobile;
· What happened to the $500,000?
Greg Miller
On February 22, 2024, the Post’s Greg Miller wrote six columns emphasizing the Russians’ ties to the Spanish mob. He asserted, without any information, that the Russian government used crooks to execute individuals deemed persona non grata. Of course, looking at American history, we find that the United States worked closely with Lucky Luciano, a mobster. Wikipedia, usually a questionable source, this time has the right of it:
In 1936, Luciano was tried and convicted for compulsory prostitution and running a prostitution racket after years of investigation by District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey. He was sentenced to 30 to 50 years in prison, but during World War II an agreement was struck with the Department of the Navy through his Jewish Mob associate Meyer Lansky to provide naval intelligence. In 1946, for his alleged wartime cooperation, his sentence was commuted on the condition that he be deported to Italy.
Miller goes on to say, without proof, that the Russians served radioactive polonium tea to Alexnder Litvinenko. And that they poisoned Sergei Skripal and his daughter with Novichok, a nerve agent. (Applied to their house’s doorknob, it somehow washed off in the rain before they touched it as they left the building.)
And being Greg Miller and a “journalist” for the Post, he had to touch on these people. And, naturally, omits American extrajudicial murders of U.S. citizens by drone. According to the Middle East Eye (October 14, 2021) , 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki (born in the U.S.) had been eating dinner with relatives. Afterwards, he was blown to bits in an American drone attack. “Awlaki's killing came just two weeks after his father, Anwar, was also killed in a US drone strike.”

COMMENT: Kuzimov defected six months ago. Wouldn’t it be more reasonable for the Russians, were they responsible, to have eliminated him then? Yet, doing so would have created more problems for Russia than it solved. Plus, what nation would leave clear evidence of assassination behind? The claims that Russia did it don’t hold water or even rocks. Of course, as one former diplomat noted, Kuzimov was a traitor and he boasted about it in Kiev. Noting that the traitor had violated his military oath, the retired diplomat added that it was his fate to suffer any consequences. The diplomat thought that the Russian government most likely didn’t execute him, it was probably the Spanish mob looking to get their hands on his wealth.
None of the propaganda spewed by the Western media ever explained what Kuzimov was doing in Spain and not the Ukraine (unless it was a way of staying out of continued military service with his former enemy). Although, there were remarks that Kuzimov had urged others to defect and be set for life. Yet, in a remarkable twist of logic, it was claimed that his successful execution would only embolden the Russian Federation to kill other defectors.
Dredging up past history, other Western media asserted the claim that the Russian government assassinated a Chechen in Berlin in 2019 and that the perpetrator is still in jail. Naturally enough, the media maintained that this was another aspect of Russian genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Finally, I can’t let my esteemed readers go without mentioning another aspect to Greg Miller. Years ago, I emailed him while writing my book Visas for Al Qaeda; CIA Handouts That Rocked the World. I asked him if he and his paper had any interest in what I was drafting. I still haven’t had a reply.
