The Mysterious Life And Death Of Igor Sergun, The Chief Of The GRU - Russian Military Intelligence

The Mysterious Life And Death Of Igor Sergun, The Chief Of The GRU - Russian Military Intelligence 
"I’m frankly unsure how to feel about his death. As a career U.S. Army military intelligence officer, and our senior military attaché to Russia from 2012 to 2014, I met with General Sergun and his staff several times for extended periods. I found him soft-spoken, unassuming, complex, erudite and nuanced. And I learned that even as Sergun relentlessly directed global intelligence operations against our interests, he — paradoxically — also viewed constant confrontation with the U.S. and West as not in Russia’s best long-term interest." - Death of the GRU Commander - by Peter Zwack - from "Defense One" | Igor Sergun - News and Web Review

Investigate the "investigators"! FBI as "a high church for the true mediocre"
"At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre." Norman Mailer | "Investigate the "investigators"! I would think that no less than 50% of the problems this country is facing is due to the FBI's inadequacy. This is a very important issue and the time has come to address it." - by Michael Novakhov

Was FBI operational data hacked? - Google Search | Report: Chinese Hackers Got Into FBI Personnel Files: "Then again, maybe it was Russia – pretending to be China." | Obama Ignores Red Line Amid Chinese Cyberattack - Investor's Business Daily - ‎16 hours ago: "Cyberwar: The damage done by Chinese hackers grows worse by the day, with news that they stole a treasure trove of blackmail-worthy material on those with high security clearances. What's Obama's reaction?" | NSA Chief: Don’t Assume China Hacked OPM | Cyber Commander: OPM Hack Highlights Data Theft Danger: "Adm. Mike Rogers, who is also director of the National Security Agency, declined to name China as the main culprit in the attacks but would not reveal who the intelligence agencies believe conducted the intelligence-gathering operation. Asked after a speech on what basis Cyber Command is linking the OPM hack to China, Rogers said: “I’m not going to accept the assumption” that China played a role in the cyber attacks. “First of all I’m not going to get into the specifics of attribution,” the four-star admiral said at a conference in Washington called GEOINT 2015. “That’s a process that we’re working through on the policy side. That’s ongoing.”"

Impeach Obama NOW!

Impeach Obama NOW!
"All that's required for this to happen is for enough Republicans in Congress who have not been misled or intimidated by the media, the Democrats, or their own leadership about Obama's treasonable actions — or who are not in denial — to speak out plainly and forcefully in favor of impeachment and removal NOW." | "Make no mistake: the U.S.A., the Free World and the whole Western Civilization are in a state of war. Call it silent or secret, invisible (almost), hybrid, intelligence war; by any other name this war is very real, deadly and brutal, like any other war. This war was started by the arch-criminal masquerading as a politician, V. Putin and his criminal ruling clique and is treacherously aided by a leftist black nationalist (the fact as it is, in my humble opinion, with all due respect to all races and without a hint of racism), Barak Obama. The situation is very critical, probably the most critical in the history of this country and the West, more critical than during the Cold War. Do not lull yourselves into complacency, get rid of the domestic threat, by all and strictly legal means (America is still strong enough for this type of civil and civilized interactions with "authority"), and deal with the foreign enemies: smartly, with determination, resolve and very clear understanding of the situation and its dangers, and on all fronts, including political and information warfare. America is in danger! Start with the first of many steps, even if it sounds improbable and impossible: Impeach Obama NOW! And until this happens, uncover, expose, oppose and counteract his policies and politics, his every political move, the destructive, divisive, self-serving and treacherous nature of this rule of hypocritical, duplicitous, insecure and vindictive "American Dictator"; and if it is not done, the risk of quasi-fascist "transformation" of this country and possibly the World is very real and maybe even imminent." - M.N.

Islamisation of the West and the Militant Islam in America

Islamisation of the West and the Militant Islam in America
"The Muslim population in this country is not like any other group, for it includes within it a substantial body of people—many times more numerous than the agents of Osama bin Ladin—who share with the suicide hijackers a hatred of the United States and the desire, ultimately, to transform it into a nation living under the strictures of militant Islam. Although not responsible for the atrocities in September, they harbor designs for this country that warrant urgent and serious attention." - The Danger Within: Militant Islam in America - Daniel Pipes | "Islam has a specific doctrine of jihad which deals with immigration. It says that Muslims are encouraged from the example of Muhammad to migrate, not immigrate, in mass to non-Muslim communities and then populate by having lots of children. They are not allowed to assimilate into the culture. As they grow in numbers they demand more and more accommodation to Islamic ways. They demand that their Shariah law be implemented within the legal system of the host community." - The Hidden Agenda of Islam Immigration into America

The state of disarray and disunion, the legacy of self-defeat and disaster
What will the History say about "King Obama"? The state of disarray and disunion; the hypocritical, duplicitous, impotent (including his inaction on Ukraine), self-serving legacy of deceit, defeat and disaster under the guise of exercise of "soft power". Mr. Obama is more concerned about his "peacenik" credentials than about the true peace, security and greatness of the country. The divisions and controversies are so intense that it is difficult to avoid the impression that the country is moving to the some type of the civil war, and I would not rule out the deliberate actions of some hostile foreign "invisible hands" behind all this.

Russia's intelligence war against the West

Russia's intelligence war against the West
"Across Europe and the Euro-Atlantic area, Russia’s intelligence offensive is being conducted with increasing determination and sophistication. This is a smart and modern war that goes well beyond the traditional intelligence requirements of “need to know” concerning the intentions of enemy countries, which in President Vladimir Putin’s mind includes any country opposed to his expansionist ambitions. It draws on a Russian intelligence tradition that stretches back to the Tsarist era and includes techniques of political warfare in addition to regular intelligence gathering. The Bolshevik secret police, the Cheka, called these “active measures” and used them to promote its revolutionary goals abroad. They included everything from political assassination to the covert use of propaganda." - Russia’s silent war against the west | News Review

General Valery Gerasimov, the current Russian Chief of the General Staff: “The very “rules of war” have changed.

"Iran’s growing influence in the region—and its effort to exert influence over governments there—has fostered pressing security concerns as the Iranians inch closer to the United States’ southern border, according to these U.S. officials and Latin American leaders, who met for several days this week at a summit organized by the Israel Allies Foundation (IAF)... Iran is becoming increasingly open about its presence in Latin America and providing its officials with passports from Venezuela and other countries, giving them free rein to travel throughout South America. Iran has forged close ties with countries such as Argentina, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Bolivia, among others." - Iran Steps Up Covert Action in Latin America | "In a way, allegorically, this Unholy Alliance is the Dante's three-faced Satan-Beast in the very center of Inferno.
