AK 239: The Enemy Is Already Here

Thank You

First, to my Russian friends, all who wish to remain anonymous:

Please accept my most sincere and deepest apologies for my poor translations, incorrect numberings and spelling.

I’m sorry but you guys have a really, really weird language, alphabet and numbering system!

But thank you for your truly valuable insights into your fascinating and rich culture.

Without your help this book would not have been possible.

With over one million of your websites blocked, you are much more brave than me.

Thank you!

And saying thank you to some very special people by name seems also to be quite trite, without whose assistance this book would not have been possible.

Many people were legally not able to be named individually or were too humble, you know who you are and thank you.

Except for my family, they are not in any particular order and I certainly don’t mean to slight anyone not higher on the list.

All of you are at the top of my list and I can’t thank you enough:
