	Stasi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stasi was headquartered in East Berlin, with an extensive complex in Lichtenberg and several smaller complexes throughout the city.
		The motto of the Stasi was "Schild und Schwert der Partei" (Shield and Sword of the Party) which shows its connections to the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, the communist, Soviet-backed one party state rulers of East Germany.
		This part of the museum relates the historical data of the Stasi from the beginning of the GDR to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

	STASI
		There are also the Stasi officials themselves: the man who insists all the revelations of the state spying apparatus are smears, the one who regrets what he did, the man who for years hosted a program broadcasting excerpts from West German television to show the decadence of the West.
		In the final weeks before the transfer of power, Stasi officials were shredding by machine and by hand the 180 kilometres of files they had accumulated on their citizens, the equivalent of all the documents in German history since the Middle Ages.
		The Stasi files show that by 1987 Roper had indeed become their source and a 'person of trust' in Stasi terms and that by 1988 we are right to regard him as an agent of influence.

		The tapestry on the left is of Erich Mielke the Head of the Stasi from 1957 to 1989.
		Much more than a junior partner to the Soviet Union's KGB, the Stasi was in fact a highly professional and ruthless organisation which was dedicated to principles of conspiratorial aggressiveness and the protection of the Communist cause.
		Drawing on documentary evidence in the files he presents a fascinating portrait of the Stasi's interest in, among other topics, the burgeoning CND movement in Britain and the Labour Party's prospects of holding office.

		Anna Funder: Some estimates have the number of Stasi operatives or informers, and by an informer it could be anyone, anyone who was reporting to their handler at the Stasi on the activities of their friends and family and who they came into contact with.
		While the Stasi may have been trying to save their own necks, there were also legitimate arguments for the destruction of the Stasi files.
		The Commissioner of the Stasi Files Agency now has the power to grant access to files on a case-by-case basis, if she judges that the public interest is greater than the individual’s right to privacy.

		It described the Stasi recommendation as a deep source of concern for Muslims in France, given that it extremely insults "in spirit and letter" a big cross-section of the French population and disregards the true essence of Islam in France.
		It said the Stasi report, on the other extreme, stopped short of protecting the right to practice religious rituals in schools and hospitals, for instance, and paid no heed to the social ills of French Muslims.
		On the Stasi suggestion of making Eid al-Adha a state holiday for Muslims in government schools, Eltuhami Ibriz, the president of Paris Muslim Council, told IOL it was a kind of "trade-off" and did not address the root cause of Muslims' worries.

		Then one month after the fall of the wall the Stasi HQ was stormed by an angry crowd – and so most of the files were preserved.
		This ended the Stasi as an organisation – and today no one who worked for them is allowed to hold a public job – such as being a teacher.
		Of course, the very existence of the commission for which Legner works and the access to their Stasi files granted German citizens shows the lengths to which Germany is going to be more open about its history than it was in 1945.

		Stasi officers knew no limits and had no shame when it came to "protecting the party and the state." Churchmen, including high officials of both Protestant and Catholic denominations, were recruited en masse as secret informers.
		In every case, the Stasi was involved either in the initial arrest or in pretrial interrogations during which "confessions" were usually extracted by physical or psychological torture, particularly between the mid-1940s and the mid-1960s.
		Böhm, the Dresden Stasi boss, was found shot dead in his office in early 1990, just before he was to appear before a commission that had been convened to settle the future of the communist state.

		Stasi's initial solution was to get more support from the Party and eventually build the Berlin Wall, Hubbard's solution was to move to England and eventually start the Sea Organization.
		Stasi oriented its operational work on the enemy's "political-ideological diversion," which was supposed to be scientifically analyzed.
		Part of this science was that Stasi would know exactly "which suspected enemy forces were in a particular jurisdiction and which people already in place were suited to influence and exploit these forces." Each jurisdiction had to know exactly "who was who" in each area.

		Similar in structure to the then-operating Russian NKVD (predecessor to the KGB), the Stasi was the secret police force for the communist-controlled German Democratic Republic (GDR).
		It was not uncommon for members of families to spy on each other for fear of flmail, as a result of physical threats and even because of monetary rewards from the secret police force.
		The key targets of the Stasi's external efforts were the U.S. occupational forces in Berlin, U.S. and NATO forces in West Germany, the West German government and military and political bodies of other Western European countries.

	Stasi Files Reveal Putin's Shadowy KGB Past
		A year before, according to the file, Putin was one of 13 KGB agents at the festive "Brothers in Arms" ball at Stasi headquarters, close to the Dresden apartment he shared with wife Lyudmila, to mark the 70th anniversary of the October Revolution.
		In a 1988 case, the KGB asks the Stasi to accommodate three visiting KGB officials free of charge, because the seemingly all-powerful Soviet agency was low on funds.
		The released Stasi files do not detail Putin's last major mission in Dresden after the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall, that of recruiting a ring of agents to continue to spy for Moscow after the coming reunification of East Germany with the West.

		The Stasi, or Ministry for State Security (Staatsicherheit), was created in 1950 by German communists in the Soviet zone of occupied Germany soon after World War II and was disbanded with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
		Under the direction of Erich Mielke, the Stasi established a reputation for ruthlessness, with dissidents being imprisoned and tortured for such "crimes" as trying to leave the country, or telling political jokes.
		One of the abiding images of German reunification is Germans ransacking the Stasi buildings in a bid to remove all traces of the hated secret police's records.

		Including informants, the Stasi at one point would number one operative for every 66 East German citizens; so ruthless and efficient were they in their efforts to squelch dissent that even the KGB found itself occasionally appalled by the Stasi's methods.
		As such, the Stasi (whose officers and informants were something like 1 out of every 66 GDR citizens) was necessary and integral to the functioning of the GDR.
		This calculation is nonsense, because organisationally, the Stasi is the equivalent of both the FBI and the CIA, i.e., both an internal and external intelligence aparatus.

		As a foreign intelligence service, the Stasi made few penetrations outside West Germany (where the term was disconcertingly literal--the Stasi specialized in so-called Romeo traps, sending handsome young spies to charm government secretaries out of not only their hymens but the documents they typed at work).
		A typical example of Stasi impotence: When the Reagan administration furiously--and correctly--accused East Germany of sheltering the Libyan terrorists who bombed a West Berlin disco full of American soldiers in 1986, the nervous regime demanded an assessment of Washington's intentions.
		When the Stasi did have sources made of flesh and blood rather than newsprint, the results were even more ludicrous.
