Welcome to the second in the regular Friday series with Mister 8 where I shall be responding to the words of his capitalist spy master Allen Welsh Dulles with the words of Ion Pacepa from his book Red Horizons.

Lieutenant General Ion Mihai Pacepa is the highest-ranking intelligence official ever to have defected from the former Eastern Bloc. Pacepa was Ceauşescu’s adviser for national security and technological development and the deputy chief of the Romanian foreign intelligence service – DIE (Departamentul de Informatii Externe).

…..I asked about the ambassadors wife.
“When the ambassadress makes love with ‘Teodorescu,’ nobody would recognize her. She becomes a different woman,” Moga began.
“Who’s ‘Teodorescu’?” I asked.
“My officer. The best ladies’ man I’ve ever had. He works under cover as the American ambassador’s driver.”
“What about the ambassador?”
“Naive as they come. He knows as much about his wife as he does about Romanian politics. He’s swallowed ‘Horizon’ hook, line and sinker.”
According to Moga, the Counterespionage Directorate had kept a much closer eye on the American ambassador than any of his predecessors. He spoke Romanian, had many friends among Romanians, and was very sympathetic to Bucharest’s trumped independence. His personal involvement in smuggling dissidents’ manuscripts out of Romania in the diplomatic pouch, as well as his close relationship with the CIA officers working at the embassy., had raised suspicions that he might be a deep-cover CIA officer, just as Ambassador Nicolae Nicolae was a deep-cover intelligence officer. Moga had run several attractive and well-educated female agents against the American ambassador, without success. the astonishing result of the coverage was that his wife, not the ambassador, had the roving eye. That helped Moga to get the ambassadress and “Teodorescu” into bed together, and then to turn inot a casual fling inot a real love affair. Moga was now waiting for Ceauşescu’s approval to send “Teodorescu” to the United States to revitalize the affair and to use the ambassadress’ influence over her husband to facilitate the driver’s emigration to the United States. “Teodorescu’s” task in the long run was to continue developing the wife of the American ambassador towards recruiting as an influence agent. Her initial task would be to manipulate her husband in accordance with Bucharest’s interest.
“Having an affair is a long way from being an agent. You know that, Moga” I said after he finished.
“Not in the whore’s case. The ambassadress is head over heels in love with ‘Teodorescu,’ who’s already wormed a lot of things out of her that she’s learned from her husband. I’ve got everything down on tape.”

………
“We’ve never before had an American ambassador with a whore for a wife. What’s his job now?”
“Head of Personnel at Foggy Bottom (United States Department of State).”
“Couldn’t be better.”.
