14 years ago russian neonazis killed anarchist and activist of Autonomous Action Anastasia Baburova and socialist and antifascist lawyer Stanislav Markelov. No one forgiven, no one forgotten. #Antifascism #Jan19

Philip Agee was born #OTD in 1935. He joined the CIA in 1957, but after the 1968 Mexico City massacre he resigned in disgust for his contribution to the event. He then self-exiled in Europe and wrote “Inside the Company: CIA Diary”, which exposed numerous CIA operations across the world, and later co-founded CounterSpy and CovertAction Information Bulletin.
