KRYPTOS Week 2019 — New Clues from the CIA Website? [UPDATE : Get Ready for a New Clue!] — Breaking News : 3rd Clue Just Released!

Posted on January 30, 2020 by L

“Looks like the Kryptos creator, Jim Sanborn, has unveiled another clue! For 30 years, the legendary sculpture has stood in the Agency’s courtyard, but no one has been able to decode it. Do you think you can crack the code?”

CIA Tweet — January 29 2020 – 10:38 PM

“I hope I have inspired some people to study the Kryptos puzzle and to give it a try. Even the parts of the code that already have been decrypted still have to be interpreted for their deeper meaning. There are many pieces to be put together and many layers to be peeled away.”

David Stein — CIA analyst (Directorate of Intelligence)

Kryptos at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia

November 10 2019 — Kryptos is a sculpture by the American artist Jim Sanborn located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia. Of the four parts of the message, the first three — known as K1, K2 and K3 — have been solved. However K4, the last part of the message, remains one of the most famous unsolved code in the world. The CIA has recently provided new clues that have been unnoticed. It would appear that the CIA would like the Kryptos code to be solved before the 30 years anniversary (November 3 2020).  Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Two Years Ago — Destroying Syria : “Why Does Washington Hate Bashar al-Assad?” by Philip Giraldi [UPDATE : The Douma Conspiracy]

Posted on January 29, 2020 by L

“I am deeply alarmed that yet again, the Trump administration continues to raise the risk of unnecessary war, disconnected from any firm policy objectives and core national security interests. To be clear, neither the 2001 or 2002 AUMFs [Authorizations to Use Military Force] provide authority to target Assad or Iranian proxies in Syria, and it is unacceptable for this action to be taken absent a vote and approval of Congress.”

Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia (January 18 2018)

Three Years Ago — The “STARGATE Project” : The CIA Psychic Spies [UPDATE — Infographics Show]

Posted on January 29, 2020 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.

On This Day — CIA Director William Casey Resigns (January 29 1987) [2020]

Posted on January 29, 2020 by L

“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

William Casey — CIA Director (1981-1987)

“It is now very clear that there were two separate agreements, one the official agreement with Carter in Algeria, the other, a secret agreement with another party, which, it is now apparent, was Reagan. They made a deal with Reagan that the hostages should not be released until after Reagan became president. So, then in return, Reagan would give them arms. We have published documents which show that US arms were shipped, via Israel, in March, about 2 months after Reagan became president.”

Former Iranian President Abolhassan Banisadr

“My purpose was… to send a signal that the United States was prepared to replace the animosity between [the U.S. and Iran] with a new relationship… At the same time we undertook this initiative, we made clear that Iran must oppose all forms of international terrorism as a condition of progress in our relationship. The most significant step which Iran could take, we indicated, would be to use its influence in Lebanon to secure the release of all hostages held there.”

US President Ronald Reagan — November 13 1986

“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” — William Casey — CIA Director (1981-1987)

William Joseph Casey (March 13, 1913 – May 6, 1987) was the Director of Central Intelligence from 1981 to 1987. In this capacity he oversaw the entire United States Intelligence Community and personally directed the Central Intelligence Agency. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

On This Day — CIA Exfiltrates 6 Diplomats From Iran (January 28 1980) [2020]

Posted on January 28, 2020 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.”

Tony Mendez — Former CIA Officer

January 28 2020 — 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.

Posted on January 27, 2020 by L

75 Years Ago — Soviets Liberate Auschwitz (January 27 1945)

Posted on January 27, 2020 by L

“Here I am in this place that commemorates World War II veterans, and here I am the daughter of survivors from the Holocaust, the most horrendous thing that happened. And here I am in the place that commemorates the American heroes, the soldiers who actually liberated my mother in Auschwitz.”

Hadassah Lieberman — Wife of US Senator Joe Lieberman (August 8, 2000)

“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)

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. PS: I believe that the two quotes 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.

On This Day — Bill Clinton: “I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Woman” (January 26 1998) [2020]

Posted on January 26, 2020 by L

“I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time, never. These allegations are false and I need to get back to work for the American people.”

US President Bill Clinton (January 26 1998)

“Only two presidents in US history have been impeached – Andrew Johnson in 1867 and Bill Clinton in 1998, with both motions having subsequently been voted down in subsequent Senate votes. With a current Republican majority in the Senate, few political commentators expect a successful impeachment of Donald Trump at any stage.”

 Malachy Caldwell — Odds Digest (January 21 2019)

On January 26 1998, President Bill Clinton called a news conference at the White House and denied that he had had sexual relations with a 22-year-old aide, Monica Lewinsky. The US President left the room without answering any questions after his brief but categorical denial. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Four Years Ago — Who Tortured Giulio Regeni to Death? And Why? (January 25 2016)

Posted on January 25, 2020 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)

“What also has become clear is that Giulio had for months attracted the attention of Egypt’s state apparatus, which continued in an increasingly pressing way until 25 January.”

Rome prosecutor Giuseppe Pignatone (January 25 2018)

“Egypt not only continues to lie but also to show disrespect by not writing his name right. It’s easy to spell, so this must be a deliberate gesture to indicate where the investigation is going: nowhere.”

Paz Zarate — Friend of Giulio Regeni (Twitter)

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 Continue reading →

On This Day — CBS Dan Rather and Vice President George Bush Clash Over Iran-contra Affair (January 25 1988) [2020]

Posted on January 25, 2020 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)
