some note of their activities <strong>in</strong>stead of po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g at the mote <strong>in</strong> the eyes of others while ignor<strong>in</strong>g the beam <strong>in</strong>the eye of an entity they doubtless feel an aff<strong>in</strong>ity for.When Müller came to Wash<strong>in</strong>gton <strong>in</strong> 1948, he had rarely moved among the mighty or directlyengaged <strong>in</strong> counsel<strong>in</strong>g those who charted the nation¹s course. For the first time, he saw the <strong>in</strong>ner work<strong>in</strong>gof a democratic government and began to f<strong>in</strong>d out how easy it was to make his way, a friendly wolf trott<strong>in</strong>gthrough pens of hogs and sheep.His journals show with clarity his rapid acclamation to this new situation as well as the <strong>in</strong>crease ofhis fortune by deal<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> stolen art, and after the outbreak of the Korean War, as a classical war profiteer <strong>in</strong>the same mold as those great capta<strong>in</strong>s of <strong>in</strong>dustry who got their phenomenal beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>gs dur<strong>in</strong>g theAmerican Civil War.Müller met, courted and married a woman from the upper levels of ma<strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e Wash<strong>in</strong>gton society,and lived <strong>in</strong> a large estate <strong>in</strong> the neighbor<strong>in</strong>g state of Virg<strong>in</strong>ia, a mansion he filled with f<strong>in</strong>e art, <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>gguests and all the authentic trapp<strong>in</strong>gs of the landed gentry.Although his reason for existence was to hunt down communist spies, one of his better friendswas a man whom Müller identified as a top NKVD agent. Müller was not an ideologue but certa<strong>in</strong>ly was apragmatist and he had no problem discuss<strong>in</strong>g shop with men like Kim Philby and his Soviet-cum-Canadianfriend, Viktor. By do<strong>in</strong>g this, Müller does not reveal himself to be a traitor to his new employers, but rathera genu<strong>in</strong>e professional.Although Müller had two wives, this did not stop him from hav<strong>in</strong>g a series of affairs with some ofthe wives of his co-workers at the <strong>CIA</strong>, as well as other women <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton society. <strong>The</strong>re is noquestion that his wife was aware of at least some of this (women always are), but she ignored it becausethey were a genu<strong>in</strong>ely affectionate couple and she was less conventional than he was. Müller, whoma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed the best relationships with his former lovers, used to say <strong>in</strong> explanation of his popularity, thathe always began an affair with a smile and ended it the same way.In his description of American foreign policy at the turn of the twentieth century, TeddyRoosevelt referred to walk<strong>in</strong>g softly but carry<strong>in</strong>g a big stick. Müller was not always as soft a walker butunlike Teddy, he carried a small weapon <strong>in</strong> his hip pocket. This weapon consisted of the files and recordshe kept on his employers and their friends, and he had no hesitation <strong>in</strong> rem<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g his putative enemies thathe was a crack shot. For those not given to <strong>in</strong>telligent understand<strong>in</strong>g, there were always the attentions ofhisclose associate, Arno, or others.In their dreams of empire, the leadership of the new <strong>CIA</strong> were certa<strong>in</strong> of their deadl<strong>in</strong>ess. <strong>The</strong>ybelieved that they were the state and all would perish who opposed them. Müller believed noth<strong>in</strong>g sograndiose and nonsensical but knew what he could and would do to anyone who actively opposed him andthis, of course, is an excellent example of fact versus fiction.In the f<strong>in</strong>al analysis, those official agencies who claim that the Müller works are fictional <strong>in</strong> naturehave the greatest reason for so stat<strong>in</strong>g but also the greatest experience <strong>in</strong> fabricat<strong>in</strong>g their own history.<strong>The</strong>re is a l<strong>in</strong>e found <strong>in</strong> Shakespeare, that it is the “galled jade that w<strong>in</strong>ces.” For those readers notconversant with Elizabethan usage, it might be more American to say that it is the kicked dog that yelps.It is not possible for an author to prepare a work on any historical subject <strong>in</strong> a vacuum. Recordshave to be searched for and consulted, leads tracked down and verified, and <strong>in</strong>dividuals who might haveimportant <strong>in</strong>formation contacted. Because of this, an author¹s activities may be muffled but are certa<strong>in</strong>lynot impossible to observe for those who have a vested <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> do<strong>in</strong>g so.<strong>The</strong> basic thesis of these books is acutely disturb<strong>in</strong>g for a number of people, most of whom live orwork <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton or one of its suburbs. Those who wish to protect their own professional reputations aswell as the reputation of their agency, spend a good deal of time and money, supplied by the taxpayers, <strong>in</strong>attempt<strong>in</strong>g to neutralize or discredit that which cannot be accepted.Certa<strong>in</strong>ty is illusion and there are <strong>in</strong>dividuals who work for the same agencies and supply theauthor with an <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g flow of <strong>in</strong>side <strong>in</strong>formation concern<strong>in</strong>g the subject of the late He<strong>in</strong>rich Müller. Asa case <strong>in</strong> po<strong>in</strong>t, there has been an on-go<strong>in</strong>g series of high-level communications between senior members ofthe <strong>CIA</strong> <strong>in</strong> Langley, Virg<strong>in</strong>ia, and senior officials <strong>in</strong>side the <strong>in</strong>telligence agencies of the Russian Republic.Almost all of this traffic is directed to one Vyacheslav Ivanovich Trubnikov <strong>in</strong> Moscow. Mr. Trubnikov is,at this writ<strong>in</strong>g, head of Russian Foreign Intelligence and is on excellent terms with his opposite numbers <strong>in</strong>the United States. All <strong>in</strong>telligence agencies ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> cordial professional relations with their purportedenemies and will regularly cooperate with their rivals <strong>in</strong> various matters, and the Müller case is certa<strong>in</strong>lyone of them.
