On This Day — The CIA exfiltrates 6 diplomats from Iran (January 28 1980) [2021]

Posted on January 28, 2021 by L

“Mehrabad is like many Middle Eastern or South Asian airports. Although of fairly modern construction, the people who pass through as travelers or hang around to greet or see travelers off make an orderly transit impossible. This was another reason for choosing the 7:30 a.m. Swissair flight. If we arrived at the airport at 5 a.m., the chances were the airport would be less chaotic. Also, the officials manning the controls might still be sleepy, and most of the Revolutionary Guards would still be in their beds. This was the case that Monday morning, 28 January 1980.”

January 28 2021 — The “Canadian Caper” was the popular name given to the joint covert rescue by the Canadian government and the CIA of six American diplomats who had evaded capture during the seizure of the United States embassy in Tehran, Iran, on November 4, 1979, after the Iranian Revolution, when Islamist students took most of the American embassy personnel hostage, demanding the return of the US-backed Shah for trial.

COVID-19 — “The Spiral of Silence” Theory [UPDATE : Brussels Vaccination Plan is a Total Flop! ]

Posted on January 27, 2021 by L

“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent. Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.’”

Dr. Anthony Fauci

January 22 2021 — I have long expected that various governments around the world would use the “Spiral of Silence” theory to convince people to get vaccinated. Dr. Fauci admitted that much in a recent interview. Belgium however has found its own version of this scam to betray the population and other EU member states. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — Soviets Liberate Auschwitz (January 27 1945)

Posted on January 27, 2021 by L

“I had an uncle … who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps.”

Barack Obama (May 26 2008)

January 27 2021 — On January 27 1945, Soviet troops enter Auschwitz, Poland, freeing the survivors of the network of concentration camps—and finally revealing to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there. I believe that the quote at the top of this post speak volumes. I would rather not comment… But, just to be very clear, no American soldiers, let alone Obama’s uncle, ever came close to liberate the Jewish people held in Auschwitz.  Obviously, Fake News did not start with Trump’s Presidency.

Five Years Ago — Who Tortured Giulio Regeni to Death? And Why? (January 25 2016) [UPDATE : Italy charges 4 Egyptian security agency officials]

Posted on January 25, 2021 by L

“On 7 January 2016, just a month after the union meeting, Mohamed Abdallah denounced Regeni to the authorities (…) because his questions were not about street vendors … and had other intentions. The Egyptian government placed Regeni under investigation, but decided after a few days that his research was of no interest to National Security.”

The Guardian (October 4 2016)

giulio-regeni
Giulio Regeni, a 28-year-old doctoral researcher at Britain’s Cambridge University, disappeared in Cairo in January 2016 and his body was later discovered in February by the Cairo-Alexandria highway. His body showed extensive marks of torture and the Egyptian security services have been suspected in the killing due to Regeni’s research into trade union organising.

January 25 2019 — Giulio Regeni (15 January 1988 – 1st or 2nd February 2016) was a PhD student at Girton College, Cambridge, researching Egypt’s independent trade unions. On January 25 2016, Regeni was abducted. Regeni’s mutilated corpse was found in a ditch alongside the Cairo-Alexandria highway on the outskirts of Cairo on February 3, 2016. Why was he tortured and murdered? Why a botched investigation? Was he a spy? For whom? Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

On This Day — CBS Dan Rather and Vice President George Bush Clash Over Iran-contra Affair (January 25 1988) [UPDATE: CIA William Burns : Between Diplomacy and Necessity]

Posted on January 25, 2021 by L

“I want to talk about why I want to be President. It’s not fair to judge my whole career by a rehash on Iran. How would you like it if I judged your career by those seven minutes when you walked off the set in New York? I’m very upset about it. Tell your goddamned network that if they want to talk to me to raise their hands at a press conference. No more Mr. Inside stuff after that.”

Vice-President George Bush to CBS anchor Dan Rather (January 25 1988)

Three Years Ago — Wormwood : Searching the Truth to the Bitter End [The mysterious death of Cold War era military scientist Frank Olson]

Posted on January 23, 2021 by L

“You think that finding the answer to this is gonna restore the path of your own life. But how can it possibly do that if you’ve lost yourself along the way?”

Eric Olson (Wormwood)

 

January 23 2018 — Wormwood is a 2017 American six-part docudrama miniseries directed by Errol Morris and released on Netflix on December 15, 2017. The series follows a scientist who participates in a secret government biological warfare program.

In the final chapter (Episode 6), Seymour Hersh states that the CIA murdered Colonel Frank Olson. Intel Today believes that Frank Olson knew that the US Military had used biological weapons in the Korean war and I suspect that he was about to reveal the truth. Follow us on Twitter:  @INTEL_TODAY
