In the 1980s, The Americans featured a television series about spying in foreign countries. He was also a travel agent. Since I was not able to watch the show, I do not know what a travel agent can do for America.
There are many examples of Americans spying on the Soviets in the 1980s, causing immense damage to the US.
In 1985, sometimes referred to as “the year of the spy”, G-men rounded up John Walker, who headed a Navy spying ring, and Ronald W. Pelton, who worked for the NSA. Jon Pollard was also captured, who had spied on behalf of Israel.
Robert Hansen was the American spy who did the most for the Soviets and Russians. Ironically, Hansen began his FBI career in 1976. Walker, Pelton, & Pollard were also arrested in Hansen’s spying days. He was eventually arrested in 2001 for his espionage. The damage he caused was enormous, and it wasn’t for an ideology, it was for money. $1.6 Million in cash, diamonds and bank deposits.
Stars and Stripes Magazine reported that a couple has been arrested in Kapolei Hawaii on “conspiring against the government and identity theft” charges.
Court records show that a U.S. Defense contractor and his wife lived decades as the identities of their deceased Texas children. https://t.co/2QaPNhNvux

Glenn Primrose is their real name, while Gwynn darle Morrison was their real name. They were both born in 1956. Both were born in Port Lavaca Texas. The couple were married in 1980. This is the cold war-like part. Seven years later they returned to life and assumed the identity of Julie Lyn Montague (a Texas child) and Bobby Edward Fort (a Texas boy). Fort passed away in 1967. Montague, who was only three weeks old, died in 1968. They remarried in 1988 as Fort and Montague, almost a year after they took their fake identities.
Primrose waited until 1994 (arguably to build up a “history”), and at 39 years of age, he enlisted in the Coast Guard. Fort would have turned 27 if he had lived. I don’t know a single 39-year-old man who could pass for a 27-year-old, either in appearance or during a physical, but he enlisted and eventually “served” 22 years stationed, finally, at Barber’s Point, not far from their home in Kapolei. In 2016, Primrose was hired by an “unnamed” defense contractor and had been employed as such until his arrest last Friday.
Primrose’s entry into the Coast Guard shows a failure of basic vetting. That he got a “secret” clearance in the Coast Guard, and then the same secret clearance in 2016 with a defense contractor, is unconscionable.
The government’s pleading indicates that a “close associate” said Morrison lived in Romania while it was a Soviet bloc country. This is denied by her attorney. An exhibit attached to the pleading is a photo showing Primrose and Morrison wearing Soviet KGB uniforms. That was a “joke” said defense counsel. According to the Assistant US Attorney handling the case, a search of the couple’s home turned up an invisible ink kit, documents with coded language, and maps showing military installations.
Both defendants have indicated that it is all a big misunderstanding – neither of them are spies, according to a defense attorney. It’s all a big mistake. Da.
The government requested no bail. The government has requested no bail. A bail hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
