| Untold story of the CIA/Stasi double agent abandoned after 22 years of service |

| [The Conversation] These are the words of double agent "M", who operated for the Dutch security service and the CIA against the East German Stasi for 22 years. In early 1985, it appeared that the Stasi may have uncovered his deception — and his true loyalty to the west. He was in East Berlin at the time and the men had rudely awoken M around 4am. Still in pyjamas, he was taken from the safe house where he was staying for debriefing sessions with his Stasi handlers to a van with darkened windows that transported him, under armed guard, to a prison. They told him he was in the Untersuchungshaftanstalt (pre-trial detention center) Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, a notorious site during the cold war under the control of the Ministry of State Security (Stasi). M was forced to undergo a degrading and extremely painful cavity inspection, before being taken — still naked — to an interrogation room. His captors intimidated him by pouring cold water over him from a bucket until the afternoon. They taunted him constantly, saying things like "You betrayed Marxism-Leninism" and "You are a CIA agent". Yet M said he felt strangely reassured because these accusations were not specific — they were meant to provoke him. In other words, his interrogators seemed to lack proof. |

| #1 "You betrayed Marxism-Leninism" So sort of like 'diversity and inclusion' training in our government, schools, and military. |
