MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. The director of Russia’s foreign intelligence SVR, Sergey Naryshkin, has congratulated the Service’s legendary agent, George Blake, upon his coming 95th birthday.

Blake, a former British secret service agent turned Soviet intelligence colonel, has lived in Russia for the past 52 years since his escape from a British jail.

On behalf of all Russian intelligence service veterans and current staff Naryshkin addressed Blake in these words:

"On behalf of the leadership, all staff and veterans of the Russian foreign intelligence and on my own behalf please accept the warmest, cordial greetings on the occasion of your coming 95th birthday," Naryshkin said.

He recalled that Blake had dedicated his whole life "to the noble cause of protecting the ideals of humanism and justice and the work for peace." His heroism and outstanding contribution to maintaining Russia’s security earned him high praise of the country’s leadership, Naryshkin said.

"Our Service knows you well as a reliable comrade, a man of great wisdom, a talented scholar, an outstanding book author and a skillful teacher. You selfless devotion to your cause, your extraordinary mind, dedication, sense of purpose, courage, fortitude, love of life and good-naturedness are an example for all SVR staff to follow," Naryshkin said.

He wished Blake good health, unlimited strength to carry on, optimism, good physical shape and energy, as well as happiness and well-being to his relatives and dear ones.
Biography

George Blake was born in Rotterdam on November 11, 1922. During the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands his mother and sisters fled to Britain, while Blake at an age of 17 joined the anti-Nazi Resistance. Later he would recall that his youth was entirely associated worth World War II, in particular, the day when after a Nazi air raid on May 10, 1940 Rotterdam was engulfed in flames and smoke and thirty one thousand homes were razed to the ground.

In 1942, Blake crossed Nazi-occupied France under a different name to eventually reach Britain. While crossing the Spanish border on the way he was arrested and had to spend some time in jail. In 1943 he volunteered to join the British Navy. In August 1944, he was transferred to the Dutch section of the British intelligence. After the war, when the British intelligence focused on the Soviet Union, Blake was dispatched to Hamburg, where he began to study Russian.

In 1948, he became the British intelligence’s resident agent in Seoul. When Seoul was taken over by Kim Il-sung’s troops he was taken prisoner and as a representative of a warring party sent to a POW camp. In the spring of 1951 he asked a Korean officer to convey his offer of cooperation to the Soviet intelligence. In 1953 after the armistice agreement was concluded in Korea Blake returned to London. He was the one who warned the Soviet authorities of Operation Gold - a joint operation conducted by the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) in the 1950s to tap into landline communication of the Soviet Army headquarters in Berlin using a tunnel into the Soviet-occupied zone.

Betrayed by a Polish intelligence officer in 1961, Blake was sentenced to a 42-year-long prison term. Four years later his escape from prison was arranged for. In 1965, he moved via Berlin to Moscow, where he has lived ever since.

Blake has authored two books of memoirs: No Other Choice and Transparent Walls. A documentary entitled Agent Blake’s Choice premiered on Russian television in April 2011. He is the holder of many top Soviet and Russian government decorations, including the Order of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of the Patriotic War 1st Class and the Order for Personal Courage.

On the day of his 95th birthday, November 11, the main weekly news roundup on the Rossiya-1 national television channel Vesti Nedeli will air a special interview with Blake.

I don't think the Marines will be offended by you not sending them a birthday card on an obscure web forum.

BTW isn't this virtue signalling?

Exactly what I thought. The thread in general plus extra credit for the bullshit "apology" for being late.

"Virtue signalling is the conspicuous expression of moral values done primarily with the intent of enhancing standing within a social group."

Given the fact that the bulk of this board is composed of progressive and foreign fucknuts that actively hate America, this thread isn't doing shit to improve HR's standing with anyone. So no, not virtue signalling.

His "intent". Also, subgroups. He is probably aiming for something as simple as a ty from EP.

But a bit redundant. Virtue signaling is HRs contribution to this forum.

HR is easily the biggest virtue signaler on this forum. It's just nobody agrees with him on what a "virtue" is. His bullshit is better suited for Facebook (which is where he gets most of his material to begin with, imo).

Or maybe it is just a thank you for their long and successful service to the country that I am proud to be a citizen of.

You never can tell, unless really are omniscient.

I haven't seen a post from ep for quite awhile but perhaps you are thinking of ork. I'm sure he sat at his computer all day waiting for my little thank you.

He doesn't care about your thank you, you retard. First of all what goddamn good has any marine done in the last 20 years? They went to Afghanistan and Iraq to...uh...to...I dunno. You tell me. Inb4 "muh freedoms."

Anyway, just to show you I'm not a complete asshole, I have a very small story to tell. Several years ago I was driving in my home town in the middle of fuck-ass nowhere, and this dumbass bitch in the car wanted me to pull over so she could piss. So I did it, and got stuck in a ditch. Well, I swear to god five minutes pass and a car full of 4 marines drives by and they stop. "You guys need help?" Uh, yes. And these guys take of their shirts and get down in the mud and push my shitty car out of the ditch. So thank god for the marines, who were very helpful to me on that occasion. It's just a damn shame that that a lot of them get sent abroad for no goddamn good reason.

I already explained to you about Afghanistan but you either ignored it or failed to comprehend.

As for Iraq, as I have said over a dozen times on this forum, Tenet told Bush a bald-faced lie about Iraq having WMD when he told him it was a "slam dunk'"

A very nice story about those four Marines.

Did you see my little story about a few guys from another group of people that get little respect? The last time I had an accident in my chair, three black guys, stopped to help me. I was on the ground trying to get up and one of them picked me up and sat me in my chair like I was a small sack of potatoes.

Both of these stories just tells me that people need to learn to be more tolerant of others.

"this dumbass bitch in the car"

Perhaps you should be improving yourself so you can run around with a better class of people.

Right there in the middle of town huh?

I remember countless of threads Hot Rod echoing the fact that it was a "slam dunk" and how Hot Rod supported the war in Iraq and defended us for going on. More specifically the "yellow cake" threads.

I drink and remember things.

Remember Hot Rod, Mueller was a marine captain in Vietnam. Hopefully that mitigates some of your rage when he takes down the chickenhawk POS orange turd you love so much next year.
