Funny part of the video, is that at one point he was starting to talk about how the chinese raided Areva (major french nuclear company).
But this part got cut even before the video was completely removed. You can only see him starting the story, and then it stopped.
Honestly, as a french i'm a bit scared to see someone mention all those recent "state secrets" in a campus, with cameras all around. He even described the working method (mixing human intelligence and electronic), the workplace ( it ressembles a lot the "Bureau des affaires secret" TV show, because they had access to the DGSE offices), and the limits of the service (number of men, lack of resource to treat the information, damages done by snowden to surveillance capabilities, etc.)
At this point i only see two options :
1/ the guy's a bit old and senile.
2/ He knows exactly what he's doing, and he thinks France's intelligence capabilities are such in a mess that he needs to make this information public.
Judging by the recent intelligence fiascos, and the ever increasing terrorist threats the country's facing, i'd say 2/
