An English-language KGB blog Ephemeris 360, the main activity of which is aimed at advocating and glorifying Russia's friends and puppets - the bloody Assad's regime in Syria and unfinished remnants of also bloody Gaddafi's regime in Lybia - has been moved to fight the Kavkaz Center, obviously, due to KGB failing in complete jamming of the KC website.
The KGB now fights the Kavkaz Center for its small English-speaking audience in the article by a certain "analyst Eric Draitser", under a typical racist headline "Barbarians at the Gate: terrorism, the USA and the subversion of Russia".
The Russian KGB thugs claim in their article:
"The shootings and bombings in Ingushetia and Dagestan this week rekindled a long-standing, brutal campaign of violence and terrorism in Russia's Caucasus region - one that has seen more than its share of terror stretching back to the Chechen "rebellion" of the 1990s.
However, in examining the recent attacks, it becomes clear that there are political and geopolitical interests behind the scenes that are actively working to destabilize Russia, with violence as their most potent weapon.
The attacks are not simply isolated terrorist actions, but rather, cynically orchestrated events carried out by well-connected criminal networks whose goal is to foment conflict and carry out the agenda of the US intelligence establishment in its subversion of Russia.
Terrorists, Propagandists and Handlers
The complex network of terrorist organizations that operate under the banners of "separatism" and "independence" for the Caucasus region, has been at the center of the destabilization of Russia for the last two decades.
Within hours of the deadly attacks, the Kavkaz Center - an organization (we are not an organization, but a news agency - KC) known (known to whom? - KC) to be the propaganda mouthpiece of terrorist leader Doku Umarov - released an article characterizing the attacks as heroic acts and referring to the dead as "Russian puppets."
Though this would seem to be not in keeping with the Center's stated mission "to provide reporting of events...and assistance of journalistic work in the Caucasus" (and what do we actually not keep? - KC), this is, in fact, very much par for the course for an organization that is funded by the US State Department and Finland's Foreign Ministry (it's the old tale by the KGB about a white bull in relation to Russian opposition protests. What is new is that the KGB extended its claims to the Kavkaz Center. Earlier, the KGB claimed we were "funded" directly by al-Qaeda - KC).
Kavkaz Center has a long track record of supporting and legitimizing terrorist actions throughout the region, rationalizing atrocities committed in the name of "resistance".
In fact, Kavkaz engages in perpetual upside-down logic, referring to Russians as "terrorists" and terrorists as "heroes" (and we think that everything is vice versa: it is the Russian media that refer to heroes as "terrorists", and terrorists as "heroes" - KC).
This type of Goebbles-esque propaganda (it is evident, both in form and content, that the article by "Draitser" has been translated from Russian - KC) is the hallmark of Western imperialist projects; most recently in the conflict in Syria, in which the Syrian National Council, Western corporate media and the like refer to terrorism and subversion as "rebellion and freedom-fighting".
Additionally, it is essential to note that Emarat Kavkaz (Umarov's terrorist organization translated as "Caucasus Emirate") has been listed by the United Nations (in fact, has been listed by only one of numerous bureaucratic structures within the UN Security Council that rules the whole UN, nobody knows why - KC) as an organization associated with Al-Qaida.
Kavkaz Center has been described by Umarov himself as "the official information organ of the Emarat Kavkaz" (the information about the Kavkaz Center website can be found at this link - KC). This, of course, supports the claims made repeatedly by Moscow of the connection between Chechen and other extremists in the region and Al Qaida, a claim which, until recently, Kavkaz Center continued to deny (we have no information on the existence of such connection - KC).
Despite the fact that organs such as Kavkaz Center operate in the service of terrorists (actually we, in sharp contrast to Russian media, we operate in the service of truth - KC) who advocate the destruction of Russia (it is not "terrorists", but journalists, experts, analysts and Sovietologists who say that imperial Russia, which occupied and forcibly holds about 100 countries, is a historical anachronism which should be destroyed, because there is no more place on earth for colonialism in the 21st century - KC), their activity alone is not altogether significant if seen in a vacuum.
Rather, it is the association of these types of individuals and organizations with the US State Department and US intelligence that makes them particularly insidious (now the KGB listed Kavkaz Center as a CIA unit - KC).
One such entity that bears scrutiny is the American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus (ACPC), previously known as the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya.
As reported by Right Web at the Institute for Policy Studies, "The ACPC was founded in 1999 by Freedom House, a neoconservative organization that has worked closely with the US government, receiving funds from the National Endowment for Democracy and other US democratization initiatives".
This intimate relationship between the ACPC and the US State Department indicates not merely a confluence of interests, but rather a direct relationship wherein the former is an organ of the latter.
The paternalistic role of the US intelligence establishment in the ACPC is made all the more evident when one examines some of the more well known members of the ACPC including former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Pentagon advisor Richard Perle and other top neocons such as William Kristol, Elliott Abrams, Kenneth Adelman, and Robert Kagan - the last two being closely associated with the inner circle of the Romney campaign.
What becomes apparent in even a cursory analysis of these figures is that, despite the preponderance of neoconservatives, the top members of the ACPC are pulled from both the liberal and conservative establishments. Therefore, one can see how the ACPC represents a bipartisan consensus within the US imperialist ruling class - a consensus of aggression against Russia.
What should be even more concerning to political observers (i.e. the ruling KGB - KC) is that, given the very real possibility of a Romney victory in November, Russia may see a surge in separatism and violence supported overtly or covertly by the ACPC and a future Romney administration".
Next the KGB rants in another 7 paragraphs how bad America and Americans are on other issues that are not related to the Kavkaz Center.
