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 this man, or the GRU in general, 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 where 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 references to the fact that these ‘Islamic’ terrorists are basically creatures 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 countries that dare oppose the worldwide hegemony of the Trans-Atlantic Empire.
