Paraphrasing Lenin: Communists will even sell us AK-47 which we will use to kill them. Happy to share my paper on how the CIA used arms dealers to purchase Polish weapons which was sent to Contras and Afghan mujahideen in the mid 80s. 50 free copies /DM:

Another story that came to light during my research on Mehdi Ben Barka and his collaboration with Czechoslovak intelligence. More details in my INS article published in 2020 1url.cz/MKTR0 and @lobs 👇
🔎 L'historien @JanKoura est tombé par hasard sur le dossier de l'agent "Pipa" dans les archives des services secrets tchécoslovaques, et l'a confié à @lobs. Nous avons ainsi pu retracer l'histoire incroyable de Jean Clémentin, l'#EspionDuCanard 👉 nouvelobs.com/monde/20220215…

@JanKoura
The entire issue devoted to Ben Barka's collaboration with the StB. It also includes my interview, the most extensive I have given on the subject so far.
En kiosque :
BEN BARKA, AGENT DE L’EST ?
D’après des archives top secret déclassifiées, le leader socialiste travaillait pour le compte des services secrets tchécoslovaques pendant la guerre froide.

Just a reminder that further details on BB's collaboration with the StB with the reference to the archival sources I have used can be found in my original article for the INS published in 2020. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
