London’s world famous Royal society for the diffusion of knowledge about the nature of the organization is purely scientific. In common parlance it is called simply the Royal society, but its role in the life of the Kingdom goes far beyond science. It is a status institution, often determining the fate not only of scientific personnel. It is common to accept and hear the people who proved themselves in various fields of activity. Many politicians or public figures would like the honor of be invited to speak at this distinguished institution.
Therefore, the invitation to lecture at the annual meeting of the Royal society, Director of the British intelligence MI5 Andrew Parker has generated a lively interest among the initiated. Such invitations are not done by accident. The Royal society for the diffusion of knowledge and MI5 exist in different universes. The annual meeting was devoted to “diversity issues”. I could tell the master of the dark Affairs of the British scientists on these issues? After all, the whole science – the science of sin and temptation. A joke spoken, even judgment, that the arrival of the Director of MI5 to the Royal society meeting will be similar to the appearance of the unrepentant sinner in the Congregation of Holy purity.
However, the intrigue quickly faded. At the lecture’s main counterintelligence the members of the congregation learned that the MI-5 pays great attention to “issues of diversity”, referring to involvement in the citizens of different gender, race or ethnicity. “The fact we have been bad, when all employees look the way I”, – stated in the end Parker. From this it became clear that the problem with a variety of genders and races in the subordinated facility is not yet resolved. And because of this fact, by itself, the title of the scientific discoveries they could not qualify, all agreed that the performance required of the Director of counterintelligence in an intermediate stage of entering the big stage. Need to Express yourself beautifully. Apparently, according to someone, the Royal society decided to help him out. The plan worked. Andrew Parker received social legalization, and planned results were achieved. The phenomenon of the Director of MI-5 in the Royal society showed that his institution has authority and respect among the intellectual elite of the Kingdom. Authority and respect Parker was very helpful, because this is what he used, speaking as a driver, retractor the UK into a new phase of confrontation with Russia.
Immediately after the speech at the Royal society, Andrew Parker gave a lengthy interview to The Guardian, in which he justified the need for a “crackdown” in the country because of the total onset of Russia literally everything that is dear to freedom-loving Briton.
The recent history of UK such cases does not know. The leaders of any of the intelligence services of the Kingdom had never spoken in public, not to mention the Director of MI-5, which is in contrast to the Director of intelligence interested in the private lives of citizens.
It is possible to tell, opens a new epoch in the life of the United Kingdom intelligence agencies become open participants in the political process, which it simply could not be.
Andrew Parker said: “Times change and we change with them”. Now everything will be easier and nezateylevaya. If you need to justify any sharp action, playing the head of the relevant intelligence agencies and explains everything to the Brits on the fingers. Without the silly publications hired scribblers without organized leaks from dubious “research” offices. Immediately at me and in the forehead.
Exactly a connoisseur of “diversity issues” and began. The title of his interview speaks for itself: “the Growing aggressiveness of Russia is a threat to the United Kingdom”. The following is a list of accusations against Moscow in which professionals accurately diagnose: paranoia, Russophobia.
To repeat this list makes no sense. It would be strange if Andrew Parker had different ideas about Russia than prescribed by the British secret services. To speak of the impartiality of British intelligence as funny as talking about the impoverishment of the Royal family. However, in the interviews there are several points worthy of attention.
Along with the hackneyed statements about the dominance of Russian agents unrepentant sinner throws an expression that has a chance to get your own life – “the Advent of cyber-weapons”. About “Coming” as his own discovery, Parker is immersed in a sensual storm and puts the weapon in the center of the approaching Kingdom of the threat. This part of his interview worthy of translation: “It (Russia) has used a mixture of state organs and resources to promote their policies in the most aggressive form, including propaganda, espionage, Subversion and cyber attacks. Russia is working today across Europe including in the UK. The task of MI-5 to stand in her way”
Then its imagination paints British objects who may be attacked by Russian hackers. Anyone here no escape: the military secrets, industrial projects, economic information, internal and external politics…
During the interview it becomes clear the purpose of all this initiative: the Director of counterintelligence closely in the uniform of an official. He is eager to politics and making statements, not required in the order of: “Russia increasingly defines its politics as opposition to the West and acts accordingly. You can see this in the examples of Russia’s activity in Ukraine and Syria…” And in the imagination of counterintelligence Parker voznikali Russian aircraft carrier group in the Mediterranean sea, which, from his point of view, is a signal of a very serious threat.
After the rumble such rumble as it is a pity was a question of journalists about the investigation that in the coming days will be held in the Parliament about the activities of British intelligence. As shown by the special Commission collected data, British spies for 17 years, violated the law on intelligence services illegally collecting a lot of information about citizens of the Kingdom, including their tax and medical status. This directly contradicts article 8 of the European Convention on human rights.
Andrew Parker replied proudly that the balance between legality and safety was observed by special services flawlessly, and Edward Snowden’s revelations on this subject does not confirm this. Although they gave rise to the Commission’s work. He demonstrated the iron logic of colonial officials: I’m right because I’m right.
For this statement, Parker added consideration that the budget of the MI-5 needs to increase, and staff grow from 4 to 5 thousand people. In other words, the observation of the British needed to expand and that costs money.
So, in the British political field there was one indomitable force that rivals Boris Johnson as the ability to selflessly serve those in power. And to sound Russophobic camponeschi orchestra in London was joined by another loud voice.
I do not voice whether it is a returning of the cold war?
