Lockerbie — The Mysterious Case of David Harvie

Posted on February 4, 2021 by L

Morag Kerr– Any thoughts about this David Harvie person?

Robert Black — I’ve never to my knowledge encountered him and I know nothing about him.

Twitter (Feb. 3 2021)

February 4 2021 — Whenever someone is telling you that he never met a person and knows nothing about that person, you should hear a bell go off in your head. History has indulged us with plenty of such transparent lies. VP George H. W. Bush had never met Noriega and former Colombia president Alvaro Uribe has never had diner with Pablo Escobar. Of course… When things seem just too simple, that is when we must look a bit harder. The strange story of David Harvie has piqued my curiosity. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — The Cavalese Cable Car Disaster (February 3 1998) [2021]

Posted on February 3, 2021 by L

“Many believe one of the reasons the Italian judges went after the CIA RDI [Rendition, Detention, Interrogation]  and [former CIA Officer] Sabrina De Sousa in the Abu Omar case was the USMC and USG accountability failures and arrogance.”

Mark Fallon — International Security Consultant & Author (February 4 2018)

The “Strage del Cermis” (Italian for “Massacre of Cermis”), named for the mountain ridge where the bodies were recovered, claimed the lives of eight Germans, five Belgians, three Italians, two Poles, one Dutch citizen, and one Austrian.

February 3 2021 — On February 3 1998, a U.S. Marine Corps jet on a low-level training flight sliced through steel wires supporting a cable car near the ski resort of Cavalese in the Italian Alps, sending a gondola plunging to the ground.

Posted on February 2, 2021 by L

“The timing caught me by surprise. I had barely enough time to get my things out of the office and to assemble as many colleagues of all ranks as possible for a farewell. …  A few days later, I encountered Haldeman. ‘What happened to our understanding that my exit would be postponed for a few weeks?’ I asked. ‘Oh, I guess we forgot,’ he said with the faint trace of a smile. And so it was over.”

On This day — Ayatollah Khomeini Returns to Iran (February 1 1979) [2021]

Posted on February 1, 2021 by L

“You will see we are not in any particular animosity with the Americans. [The Islamic Republic of Iran] will be a humanitarian one, which will benefit the cause of peace and tranquility for all mankind. (…) It is advisable that you recommend to the army not to follow [Shah’s prime minister Shapour] Bakhtiar.”

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini — Letter to US President Jimmy Carter (January 29 1979)

February 1 2021 — On January 17 1979, the Shah left the country, never to return. Two weeks later, on Thursday February 1st 1979, Khomeini returned in triumph to Iran, welcomed by a joyous crowd estimated to be of up to five million people. The communications between Khomeini and the president Jimmy Carter’s administration during the last two weeks of January 1979 remain largely classified and — not surprisingly — highly controversial.

20 Years Ago — Kangaroo Zeist Court issues Infamous Lockerbie verdict (January 31 2001)

Posted on January 31, 2021 by L

“The disparity between historical reality and the description of history in books and newspapers can lead our youth only to lack of belief, to cynicism, whereas we need belief, but real belief can be based only on the truth.”

Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko — Open Letter (New York Times – February 17 1974)

January 31 2021 — On January 31, 2001, a kangaroo Court in the Netherlands rendered its verdict. Although two Libyan citizens had been prosecuted for the ‘bombing’ conspiracy of Pan Am 103, the judges found one of them not guilty and sentenced the other one for murder. Go figure! I guess that, given enough whiskey, it does not take two to tango in Scotland. Twenty years later, on January 15 2021, Lord Carloway — The Lord Justice General in the appeal — delivered the opinion of the Scottish Appeal Court. Without surprise to the readers of this blog, the Court upheld the guilty verdict of the trial court. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Posted on January 30, 2021 by L

One Year Ago — John Le Carré : “And how would I like to be remembered?” [Olof Palme Prize Ceremony – January 30 2020]

Posted on January 30, 2021 by L

“Reading and thinking about Palme makes you wonder who you are. And who you might have been, but weren’t. And where your moral courage went when it was needed. You ask yourself what power drove him – golden boy, aristocratic family, brilliant scion of the best schools and the best cavalry regiment – to embrace from the outset of his career the cause of the exploited, the deprived, the undervalued and the unheard?”

 David Cornwell — Olof Palme Award acceptance speech (January 30 2020)

(October 19, 1931 – December 12, 2020)

January 30 2021 — David John Moore Cornwell — also known by the pen name John le Carré — won the 2019 Olof Palme Prize. This magnificent speech is a reminder that Olof Palme’s words and deeds still inspire people to commit to democracy, human rights and peace. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Four Years Ago — The “STARGATE Project” : The CIA Psychic Spies [UPDATE — CIA 1991 MEMO : “Russian scientists have perfected ESP methods.”]

Posted on January 29, 2021 by L

“Our mission – that is, the mission for INSCOM Center Lane Program’s remote viewing project number 8404 – was to help find Buckley [William Francis Buckley, station chief for the CIA in Beirut Lebanon] before it was too late. The CIA officer was kidnapped on March 16, 1984. Our tasking arrived on March 20th. Over the next few weeks 12 remote viewing sessions were worked. The majority were performed by the two most experienced viewers in the unit at the time, Joe McMoneagle and Tom McNear. By the time Project 8404 was finished, a number of detailed remote viewing results of unknown accuracy were produced. Sadly, all this work was to no avail. Buckley was never rescued, and died in captivity on June 3 1985.”

Paul H. Smith — CIA ‘remote viewing’ Psychic 

The psychic program was initiated in 1975 when the CIA heard rumors that China and Russia were experimenting with psychics. The program continued for 20 years under 10 different code names . In an operation code-named Grill Flame, half a dozen psychics were remote-viewing the US hostages held in Iran. They were even consulted before the super-secret U.S. military raid that attempted to free the hostages in April 1980, which ended in disaster, when a plane and a helicopter collided.

January 29 2017 — The Stargate Project was the code name for a secret U.S. Army unit established in 1978 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International (a California contractor) to investigate the potential for psychic phenomena in military and domestic intelligence applications.

Two Years Ago — Belgium Postpones 5G Spectrum Auction to 2020. And Maybe Later… Why? [UPDATE : Belgian 5G auction set for early 2022!]

Posted on January 29, 2021 by L

“Perhaps, the most puzzling part of the Belgian Intelligence Services report is what it does not mention. Although most countries are extremely concerned about China investments in their Telecom infrastructure, the Belgian report is silent on this issue. Why on earth?”

Intel Today – December 3 2018

 

January 29 2019 — During the Summer 2018, the Belgian federal government announced that the auction for the 5G frequency bands would take place in 2019. Suddenly, this auction is delayed to 2020, and perhaps later. Obviously, the deadline set by the EU for the distribution of 700 MHz frequencies (also known as the ‘Golden frequency band’), set for mid-2020, could be jeopardized. What is going on?
