Last but not least, in stage 16 (” Seeds of dishonesty”), the author takes the viewers inside the intentions, frustrations as well as additionally concerns of E. Howard in exposing Tolkachev’s recognition to the Soviets. He betrayed not just this resource, yet in addition an option of CIA tradecraft treatments as well as additionally capacities: CK Joint, JIB or his “deep cover” affiliates’ identifications. CIA additionally made a substantial mistake in securing their source by dropping 3 websites from a leading- secret Tolkachev record, a reality divulged on web page 238.
