New page

'''International Relations and Security Network''' (IRSN) is a website "monitoring" security issues purportedly from the top Swiss university (ETH). However, the selection of topics and events raises many questions. Jeffrey Blankfort stated: "This outfit has direct ties to the American Jewish Committee's [[TransAtlantic Institute]] if it is not a creation of the AJC."<ref>Jeffrey Blankfort's email list, comment on IRSN notifications and emails sent out to subscribers, 19 December 2007.</ref> Although this is not entirely likely, it is composed of a myriad of academic, governmental, and non-governmental institutes, think tanks and networks. The Network is linked to [[NATO]] and provides the search service for the NATO website.<ref>http://www.nato.int/</ref>
