The Al Jazeera
news network has displayed surprising editorial standards in the past,
facing multiple accusations of whitewashing the Syrian conflict. The
network has now gone to new extremes, interviewing and promoting the

Dear friends,
I am posting today the speech of
Colonel-General Igor Sergun, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate
(GRU) of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia. To say that
his man, or the GRU is secretive would be an understatement. Almost all
the information publicly available about Sergun is in the short
biography (researched by Scott) which I have placed at the end of this
post. As a general rule, the GRU never makes a public statement, nor
does the person heading it. It is thus interesting that on one of the
very few occasions were General Sergun agreed to speak in public, he
chose to focus on the risks of the so-called “Islamic” extremism and
that in a relatively short presentation, he made four reference to the
fact that these “Islamic” terrorists are basically a creature of the
West. One might be tempted to say “nothing new here, we all know that” –
but that would be missing the point. The point is that the head of
Russian military intelligence is openly declaring that the so-called
“Islamic terrorism” is not an original or indigenous phenomenon, but an
instrument in the toolset of western imperialism which is used to
subvert the countries which dare oppose the worldwide hegemony of the
AngloZionist Empire.
