On This Day — Remembering our Heroes : Trappist Monk Thomas Merton (January 31, 1915 – December 10, 1968) & Investigative Journalist Gary Webb (August 31, 1955 – December 10, 2004)

“The truth is always more powerful than lies. It’s just harder to get people to believe it. When you write the truth, you better have a thick skin. But truth is what journalism is supposed to be about. Journalism is the art of conveying the truth, even if it hurts. The job is to hold power accountable.”

Gary Webb
Investigative Journalist
(Aug. 31, 1955 – Dec. 10, 2004)

December 10, 2024 — Today, I will spend most of my time meditating and praying in remembrance of two men who profoundly influenced my life: Trappist Monk Thomas Merton and Investigative Journalist Gary Webb. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

Four Years Ago — BELGIUM : €10bn Missing From Gaddafi Frozen Accounts [UPDATE : Top Belgian Politician Didier Reynders Suspected of Money Laundering]

“Nobody is preoccupied with the question of where the funds have gone and who benefitted from them. What is surprising is that nobody wanted to see what was going on and everyone is shutting their eyes at a political level … This is an extremely serious problem as it could uncover a real state scandal.”

Robert Wtterwulghe
Law professor at UC Louvain University

February 20 2018 — Brussels, Belgium — After Gaddafi’s death in 2011, the U.N. passed a resolution to freeze his wealth, with the idea that it would be held in trust for the Libyan people until the war-shattered country stabilizes. Four separate accounts opened for the Libyan Investment Authority and Libyan Foreign Investment Company in the Euroclear bank held about 16 billion euros when they became ‘frozen’ under UN sanctions in September 2011. Today, there remains about 5 billion euros on these accounts. So the question is rather simple: Where did the €11 billion vanish to? Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

New Book — Silent Stars: The Fallen Heroes of the CIA

“Whoever fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

On This Day — Annalen der Physik publishes Albert Einstein’s Famous Equation : “E= m c²”. Really? (November 21 1905) [UPDATE : Einstein on Disinformation and Democracies]

“If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/c2. The fact that the energy withdrawn from the body becomes energy of radiation evidently makes no difference, so that we are led to the more general conclusion that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy-content; if the energy changes by L, the mass changes in the same sense by L / 9 × 10^20, the energy being measured in ergs, and the mass in grammes. It is not impossible that with bodies whose energy content is variable to a high degree (e.g. with radium salts) the theory may be successfully put to the test.”

Albert Einstein
“Ist die Trägheit eines Körpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhängig?”

(Manuscript received on September 27 1905)

November 21 2024 — On this day in 1905, the physics journal Annalen der Physik published Albert Einstein’s paper “Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?” Contrary to popular belief, the equation E = m c² does not appear in this paper. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Bay of Pigs — The Enduring Myth of the No Air Cover Excuse

“I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”

President John F. Kennedy
following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion
(April 1961)

The CIA coin was created anticipating a victory, but the operation was a “perfect failure.” The Bay of Pigs victory coin features an outline of Cuba with a rebel invader advancing past a fallen member of Castro’s military in the foreground.

November 20, 2024 — The CIA quickly blamed the lack of air cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion’s failure, and this explanation has been widely accepted, even by the families of the American volunteers who died during the mission.This is not the truth. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On this Day — At Long Last, FBI Admits No Evidence of Foul Play in 1996 TWA 800 Crash (November 18 1997) [Striking Similarities of Pan Am 103 and TWA 800 : No Bomb, No Case.]

“The FBI didn’t want to hear about anything but a missile or a bomb, because otherwise there was no FBI case. Their conduct was disturbing from the very beginning.”

Senator Chuck Grassley
Chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee on administrative oversight

Washington Post
(May 9 1999)

November 18 2024 — Trans World Airlines Flight 800 (TWA 800) was a Boeing 747-100 which exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York, on July 17, 1996. On November 17 1997, the FBI formally ended its 16-month investigation into the crash of TWA flight 800. FBI agents concluded there was no evidence it was a criminal act. Despite clear scientific evidence, many people still believe to this day that the plane was brought down by a terrorist bombing or a missile strike. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_Today

“And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I could say that in my years of public life, that I welcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook. I have earned everything I have got.”

US President Richard Nixon
