The Secret History of the Russian Consulate in San Francisco

"The second thing you need to understand about the closure of Russia’s San Francisco consulate is that,
after the Trump administration summarily announced on Aug. 31 that it would shutter the building 48
hours later, the news coverage that followed almost uniformly focused on two things: the dumbfounding
heat (this city, cool and grey, is in California but not of it) and the black smoke wheezing from the
consulate’s chimney, as employees rushed to burn up, one assumes, anything confidential or inculpatory.

People were right to look upward, toward the building’s roof, but their focus was misplaced: It was, in
reality, the motley array of antennas and satellites and electronic transmittal devices dotting the rooftop
— objects viewed with deep suspicion and consternation by U.S. intelligence community officials for decades —
that tells the story of the Russian Consulate in San Francisco, not the ash drifting listlessly over the
neighboring mansions."


[ This is an EXCELLENT article, slightly long, that will enlighten patriotic Americans and enrage pinko
liberals. Fortunately for Snowflakes, there is a narrated version so you don't actually have to
read.... or you can just look at the stylish illustrations. ]
