"However, what was lacking in his post, was the actual credentials. He never worked inside the CIA.. He didn't have access to 'CIA intelligence material' or facts that could back up his opinion. "

I think your evaluation of his credentials was wrong.
Scumbria repeatedly stated that a member of his
immediate family was born, grown up, and lived on
the territory of the former USSR, and therefore was
able to observe in person the effect of soviet economy,
while the CIA Intelligence Analyst were looking
primarily at satellite pictures.

If you could have a chance to take a look at Soviet
consumer shops in 80's, you would not need to read
any "CIA intelligence materials" to form a correct
opinion.
