Little did I know that I was the intended victim of a KGB "Honey Pot" operation. The girl, her parents and the personnel manager were all KGB agents assigned to compromise me and blackmail me into working for the KGB as a spy.

I would later learn that I was a victim of a nationwide operation by the KGB to recruit Conservative youth leaders as potential spies should they enter government service. In the 1930's they did the same thing with young liberals to turn them into red agents.

Remember Alger Hiss, Owen Hatlimore and Martin Currie?

The Russians realized that the voting patterns were changing in the sixties and seventies drifting to more Conservative issues and political leadership. They wanted to recruit spies so they could once again infiltrate our Government.

During my Senior and Junior years in college, I started working for the NYPD photographing radical student leaders and their demonstrations on campus. I was working for the police unit known as Special Services for a detective friend of my best friend in college. He recruited me to work for him. The detective's name was John Judge. Little did I know this would lead me to a career in law enforcement and also to a secret career in another one. It seemed that the honey pot operation and my work for the NYPD attracted the attention of another spy organization.

During my years in college, I made very close friendship with another conservative activist who will be known as "Walter." We became very close friends over the years and became very good friends. Little did I know that he had another side and a very sinister one.

In my senior year I made a friendship with another gentlemen by the name of John who was working for the ATF in the Treasury Department, catching gunrunners and gathering intelligence on campus radicals. He knew of my work for the NYPD and got me interested in joining the New York City Auxiliary Police. Little did I know that he worked for the CIA also and was sent to recruit me for the CIA. Later on he would orient me towards a career in law enforcement and later train me to do covert operations for the CIA.

It appears my friend "Walter" had a double identity and was in fact a deep cover, deep penetration Soviet Agent for the KGB. I was recruited to keep tabs on the red bastard and report on his friends and activities. I would do this for some 16 years and at great risk to myself. My mother, my father my brother and my sister knew nothing of my secret life nor did the rest of my family.

It was a well-kept secret.

Not only did I do this operation, but I also was used for covert air operations and para-military operations. Again I could not reveal anything of what I did.

I was also used for covert surveillance and monitoring assignments on KGB operations in the New York City Metropolitan area.

After I graduated college, I continued my operations again with my old college buddy, "Walter." I was also used for the other activities as I described.

In 1973, I joined the court system as a court officer and was assigned to Brooklyn Criminal Court at Schemerhorn Street in Downtown Brooklyn. In July 1974, I was promoted to Senior Court Officer and assigned to Brooklyn Supreme Court on Adams Street in Downtown Brooklyn just six blocks from the Criminal Court House. In January 1975, I was transferred to the Dangerous Drug Division of Supreme Court located in the Brooklyn Criminal Court House. The C.O. of the Drug Division I would later learn was the Mid Atlantic Regional Director for Covert Operations for the CIA. It was no mistake that I was assigned there.
