Kurginyan explains how terror and the will to death penetrate intelligence services

04.06.2026, Moscow.

Dark occultism is an integral part of terrorist organizations, but it has also become embedded in the core of Western intelligence agencies and is spreading throughout the world, philosopher, political scientist, and leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan stated on May 29 during the program Conversation with a Sage on the Zvezda radio station.

Describing the connection between Western intelligence services and terrorist organizations operating in various parts of the world, the analyst noted that such organizations cannot function without occultism that cultivates destruction and a will to death.

“But this cult of death is beginning to spread around the world. It cannot be Christian, it cannot be Olympian. It appeals to very ancient things and to the most destructive element within humanity,” Kurginyan stated.

The philosopher explained what he means by the development of Thanatos in humanity and the will to death, which Austrian psychologist and founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud identified near the end of his life after witnessing the rise of Hitler’s Nazism.“It is a condition in which all life forces and emotions are completely paralyzed – emotional blindness and indifference, which is the main illness of modern humanity,” he noted.

Kurginyan noted that society is seeing an increasing number of people whose emotional responses are impaired, a trend accompanied by a rise in the suicide rate. According to him, this is linked to attempts to derive emotions from external sources when one’s own emotional responses are not functioning properly..

“When everything connected with Eros, with love, is blocked: ‘If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal’ (the Apostle Paul). Then destruction becomes the only source of emotion,” the analyst explained.

“Whether it is a serial killer who can only feel something when killing, these Nazis, this cult of death in general, or the mass media that select and spread it,” he added.

According to Kurginyan, such individuals become concentrated within intelligence services, where they can do such things with impunity. “As an old acquaintance of mine used to say: ‘If you beat someone to death in a fight and make it back to base, you’re safe; if you don’t make it back, then it’s your own fault, and you go to prison’,” Kurginyan remarked.

“So the only place where danger is concentrated is within those who are supposed to be responsible for security. They themselves become the center. So, sooner or later, all of this will be taken over by these organizations,” the political scientist stated.

He also recalled the rise of Colombian drug lord and terrorist Pablo Escobar. “It is now an open secret that CIA officers helped him eliminate all competitors and made him the dominant figure,” the analyst noted, explaining what he sees as the reason for the CIA’s involvement.

According to him, when youth protests against US imperialism – such as those against the Vietnam War and other – began to grow, US intelligence agencies needed a way to gain control over this broad protest movement. “It had to be destructed,” he added.

“Sex, drugs, rock. The sexual revolution was directed into a channel useful to the CIA. The idea that the five percent of the population considered most dangerous should be narcotized is written in [CIA] instructions. The fact that control over these narcotics is exercised by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and that it is precisely this agency that manages the process, is something everyone now understands,” Kurginyan claimed.

However, according to the analyst, the CIA is involved in more than narcotics, despite US President Donald Trump including the fight against illegal drug trade in his doctrine.

“They are also involved in terror, narcotics, and weapons simultaneously,” he explained.

“Do you remember Viktor Bout, A Russian arm dealer? There was Ariel Cohen, an ideologically driven, somewhat aesthetic, but very intelligent American expert. And there was Stephen Cohen, much softer like any such flaccid person who had a completely different convictions,” the political scientist recalled.

According to Kurginyan, shortly before his death Stephen Cohen commented on a Russian citizen involved in arms trading, “Why was he imprisoned? Of course, because US Republicans control the black market in the Middle East, while Democrats control it in Africa. That’s obvious. And he moved from the US Republicans’ sphere into Africa. But when the US Republicans return to power, he’ll be released. And that is exactly what happened,” the analyst said.

“So this is a division of those markets. Which means that intelligence services themselves are constantly behind it all,” Sergey Kurginyan concluded.
