Havana Syndrome — Microwave Weapons : Project PANDORA – BIZARRE [2020]

Posted on September 4, 2020 by L

“The test protocol involved training the monkeys to press certain levers in response to signals. If the monkeys pressed the lever correctly, they would receive a reward of food, ‘much as embassy employees might be rewarded with a dry martini at the end of the day,’ wrote the columnist Jack Anderson. Researchers would then measure whether the monkeys performed worse when subjected to the Moscow Signal, compared with when there was no radiation.”

“There is no question that penetration of the central nervous system has been achieved, either directly or indirectly into that portion of the brain concerned with the changes in the work functions and the effects observed.”

ARPA Deputy Director — Memorandum (December 20 1966)

On This Day — William E Colby Becomes 10th Director of CIA (September 4 1973) [2020]

Posted on September 4, 2020 by L

“We disbanded our intelligence [after both world wars] and then found we needed it. Let’s not go through that again. Redirect it, reduce the amount of money spent, but let’s not destroy it. Because you don’t know 10 years out what you’re going to face.”

William Egan Colby

“When he was found dead in the water nine days later, it was said that he had gone out paddling his canoe at nightfall and drowned.  I was in Paris when I read the story in the International Herald Tribune.  I knew William Colby. And I didn’t believe that for one second.”

  Zalin Grant

September 4 2020 — William Egan Colby (January 4, 1920 – April 27, 1996) was an American intelligence officer who served as Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from September 4 1973 to January 30 1976. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Four Years Ago — Radio Pyongyang Resurrects “NUMBERS STATION” — UPDATE : “North Korea broadcasts encrypted spy message on YouTube for first time” [Fake News]

Posted on September 3, 2020 by L

“Some are worried it signals that North Korean might be planning some type of operation, alerting its spies by sending the coded broadcast. But for that to be true, North Korean agents would have had to have been listening at the right time to take down the message, and how would they have known it was coming?

Numbers haven’t been broadcast for 16 years, so have agents really spent the last decade and a half listening just in case something came across? It is possible they could have been alerted that such a message was about to be broadcast, but then when why not send the message contents over whatever communications channel was used for such an alert?”

Martyn Williams — 38 North

July 23 2016 — The broadcast on July 15 2016 was the first number sequence aired by Pyongyang in over 16 years. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

On This Day — Espionage and Sabotage Act of 1954 (September 3 1954) [2020]

Posted on September 3, 2020 by L

“At first blush, one would say that we are rather naive in expecting somebody trained in espionage to come forward and register. But … you will find under this language it is possible to prosecute people for failure to register.”

Francis E. Walter (D Pa.) — House Judiciary Committee

Formed during World War II, the United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was organized for special operations and intelligence gathering and analysis. Included in its mission was the implementation of, and training of foreign forces in, propaganda, espionage, subversion, and sabotage. After the war, OSS functions were transferred to the newly formed Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This “Simple Sabotage Field Manual” was used by OSS agents in training “citizen-saboteurs” in methods for inciting and executing simple sabotage to thwart industry and other vital functions in Axis-occupied areas.

September 3 2020 — The Espionage and Sabotage Act entered into law on September 3 1954. The Act broadened the definitions of what constitutes “war material” and “national defense material” contained in previous anti-sabotage legislation, and took into account sabotage potentialities through use of radioactive, biological and chemical agents. It also permitted the death penalty for peacetime espionage. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Four Years Ago — Dutch Intelligence Services Operated with the CIA Behind the Iron Curtain

Posted on September 2, 2020 by L

“The fact that the Dutch Intelligence Services participated with the CIA in these operations is now clear to me. But why? I cannot answer that question yet.”

Cees Wiebes — Senior Research Fellow at the Ad de Jonge Institute for Intelligence and Security Studies

SAMEN MET DE CIA — Operaties achter het IJzeren Gordijn (Together with the CIA — Operations behind the Iron Curtain)

September 2 2016 — A new book contradicts the traditional view that only American and British spooks were active behind the Iron Curtain. The book, written by Cees Wiebes and released today, documents that Dutch Intelligence Services operated with the CIA in the former Soviet Union and in various Eastern European countries.

On This Day — The Crash of Swissair Flight 111 & The Mystery of the Lost Picasso (September 2 1998) [2020]

Posted on September 2, 2020 by L

“There was sufficient grounds to suspect a criminal device on that plane. I am convinced that the investigation was improperly done.”

Retired RCMP sergeant Tom Juby — Arson investigator assigned to the Swissair file

“RCMP, DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) and the Coast Guard conducted patrols of the area to maintain security of the scene. If someone tried to enter the area, they could have been charged with obstruction under the Criminal Code, or perhaps other offences under the various federal acts that might apply. Once the restrictions were lifted, the RCMP would not be aware of people going to the area to search for valuables, as it would not have been an offence or a police matter. This continues to be the case.”

Nova Scotia RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Jennifer Clarke

“There was a lot of talk about it after the crash, that there had been all these valuables on board. That was a big deal. Somewhere down at the bottom of the ocean, theoretically, are those diamonds.”

Stephen Kimber — Author of the book Flight 111: A Year in the Life of a Tragedy.

“Usually those kind of paintings are sent in some kind of wooden construction that is really not a shock-proof container. We don’t know for sure but we assume that because of the heavy impact it was probably destroyed.”

Urs Peter Naef — a spokesperson for Swissair

“Le Peintre” (The Painter), by famed artist Pablo Picasso, was lost in the crash of Swissair Flight 111 off Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on Sep 2, 1998.

September 2 2020 — On September 2 1998, Swissair Flight 111 hit the water off the hamlet of Peggy’s Cove (Nova Scotia)  killing all 229 passengers and crew on board instantly.  According to the plane’s manifest, Flight 111 was also transporting a diamond from a Nature of Diamonds exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, one kilogram of other diamonds, about 4.5 kilograms of other jewellery, 49 kilograms of cash, and a multimillion-dollar version of Picasso’s Le Peintre. None of these was ever recovered. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

On This Day — The Fall of the Libyan Monarchy (September 1st 1969) [2020]

Posted on September 1, 2020 by L

“The group, which called itself the Revolutionary Command Council, was motivated by the ideology of Arab socialism modeled by Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser. Within a short time, a young officer named Muammar Qadhafi emerged as a leader of the group, and he would rule Libya for the next 40 years.”

CIA Website — Fall of the Libyan Monarchy 

“For this reason there is some basis for considering that the new Libyan junta’s strong expressions of friendship for the U.S. are sincere and not simply a tactical maneuver.”

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. HENRY KISSINGER (Sept. 9 1969)

September 1 2020 — On 1 September 1969,  King Idris I, the first and only King of Libya, was deposed. To commemorate the event, the CIA has released a series of documents which cover major developments related to the coup, including US reaction. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

On This Day — Korean Airliner Flight 007 Shot Down (September 1 1983) [2020]

Posted on September 1, 2020 by L

“Governments lie. They do it all the time. And, much as we’d like to believe otherwise, the US government is no exception. There were times when we may have believed otherwise. But after Vietnam and Watergate, we know better.”

US Journalist Ted Koppel — “The USS Vincennes: Public War, Secret War.” –  ABC News (July 1st 1992)

“KE-007 was a victim of the cold war. Another casualty, always war’s first, was the Truth. The story of KE-007 will be remembered pretty much the way the Americans told it in 1983 and not the way it really happened. (…)

The moral of the story is that all governments, including our own, lie when it suits their purposes. The key is to lie first.”

Alvin A. Snyder — Warriors of Disinformation

KE007-2

September 1 2020 — Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL 007) was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City to Seoul. On September 1st 1983, the airliner serving the flight was shot down by a Soviet Su-15 interceptor, near Moneron Island west of Sakhalin in the Sea of Japan.

Two Years Ago — Havana Syndrome : UCSD Researcher Links Diplomats’ Mystery Illness to Microwave Radiation

Posted on August 31, 2020 by L

“I looked at what’s known about pulsed RF/MW in relation to diplomats’ experiences. Everything fits. The specifics of the varied sounds that the diplomats reported hearing during the apparent inciting episodes, such as chirping, ringing and buzzing, cohere in detail with known properties of so-called ‘microwave hearing,’ also known as the Frey effect. And the symptoms that emerged fit, including the dominance of sleep problems, headaches and cognitive issues, as well as the distinctive prominence of auditory symptoms. Even objective findings reported on brain imaging fit with what has been reported for persons affected by RF/MW radiation.”

“Independent studies over decades have reported biological effects and harms to health from non-ionizing radiation, specifically RF/MW radiation, including via oxidative stress and downstream mechanisms, such as inflammation, autoimmune activation and mitochondrial injury.”

Professor Beatrice Golomb UCSD — August 29 2018

“Whether or not a microwave weapon was the culprit, this stealth technique may be a weapon of the future. I would not be surprised if some military establishment around the world invests or has already been engaged in such a program.”

Professor James Lin — UIC

Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at UCSD

August 31 2018 — In October 2017, I suggested than a microwave weapon — and not sonic attacks — may be the cause of the “Havana syndrome”. I am therefore pleased to report that Beatrice Golomb — MD, PhD, professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine — has concluded that reported symptoms and experiences of a “mystery illness” afflicting American and Canadian diplomats in Cuba and China strongly match known effects of pulsed microwave electromagnetic radiation. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →
