“The greatest enemy of truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived, and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.”

June 14, 2025 — The probe into the crash of Air India Flight 171 is being supported by teams from the Indian AAIB, along with experts from the U.S. NTSB, UK AAIB, Boeing, and GE Aerospace. What could go wrong? Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
Friday June 13, 2025 — Every time a Boeing airliner crashes, the aftermath is never just about aviation safety — it becomes a battleground of national interests, political agendas, and intelligence maneuvering. Once again, the U.S. President will be pressured to shield Boeing by pointing fingers at terrorism, attempting to steer the narrative before the facts have fully emerged.
But the evidence already paints a starkly different picture: catastrophic mechanical and electrical failures, not external sabotage, brought down Flight AI171. This isn’t an isolated incident. As IntelToday has long warned, the cycle of tragedy will continue as long as the shadow over Pan Am 103 remains unlifted — a shadow that conceals uncomfortable truths about Boeing’s safety record and the limits of official narratives. The time has come to confront these truths head-on. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

“Cretton [Real name : Swiss Inspector Hans Knaus] expressed his concerns (…) The first was that the CIA had planted the chip [PT/35(b)] in the wreckage found at Lockerbie. [Detective Superintendant (SIO) Stuart] Henderson and I told him this thought had also crossed our minds. Neither of us believed the CIA or any government official would do such a thing, but we had discussed the possibility.”

“To get the Chinese vote, Bush senior agreed to have his infamous meeting in New York with premier Li Ping, the Butcher of Beijing, the official in charge of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.”
Francis Boyle International Law professor
Despite the horrors of Tiananmen, the George H.W. Bush administration renewed China’s MFN status every year and vetoed bills that attempted to revoke MFN or link it to human rights. Boeing easily convinced the administration to exempt a scheduled $200 million delivery of four B757s to China from military sanctions.
June 4, 2025 — Marco Rubio, the US’s top diplomat, rightly points out that the Chinese government still tries to erase the Tiananmen Square Massacre from its own history. But while Beijing hides the past, the US government isn’t exactly transparent about the backroom deals and geopolitical maneuvering that followed this dark chapter. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
“Officers new to counterintelligence and overwhelmed by the scope of what they need to learn often ask the same question: ‘Where do I start?’ The best place might be the Dreyfus affair.”
The Lessons for Counter-Intelligence of the Dreyfus Affair
CIA Website
Alfred Dreyfus (January 9, 1859 — July 12, 1935)
January 5 2023 — On January 5 1895, Dreyfus was summarily convicted in a secret court-martial, publicly stripped of his army rank, and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island in French Guiana. Following French military custom of the time, Dreyfus was formally degraded by having the rank insignia, buttons and braid cut from his uniform and his sword broken, all in the courtyard of the École Militaire before silent ranks of soldiers, while a large crowd of onlookers shouted abuse from behind railings.

June 1, 2025 — — Marilyn Monroe died of a barbiturate overdose late in the evening of Saturday, August 4, 1962, at her 12305 Fifth Helena Drive home in Los Angeles, California. Her body was discovered before dawn on Sunday, August 5. On the same day, Nelson Mandela was arrested in Durban, South Africa. Almost everyone has heard the conspiracy theory about Monroe being murdered by the CIA. Sadly, almost no one knows that the arrest of Nelson Mandela was made possible by a tip-off from the CIA.
