On This Day — James Bond Dr. No Worldwide Premiere at the London Pavilion (October 5 1962) [2019]

Posted on October 5, 2019 by L

“Dr. No is a dangerous mixture of violence, vulgarity, sadism and sex.”

Vatican spokesperson (1962)

 “James Bond is the personification of capitalist evil.”

Kremlin spokesperson (1962)

“Fleming found he had a love for espionage, and combined with his support for all things British, provided purpose to his life. But after WWII ended, he found himself at loose ends, and took a job with a newspaper. He hated the drudgery that went with the position, and often found himself daydreaming while admiring a picture of Jamaica near his desk. After several vacations to the island, he decided to move there permanently and, drawing on his family’s income, built a home for himself. He called it ‘Goldeneye.’ Fleming told friends he had always wanted to write a spy novel…and now with time on his hands, he did exactly that.”

On October 5 1962, Dr. No had its worldwide premiere at the London Pavilion. Fifty years after the release of the film, Eon Productions celebrated “Global James Bond Day” on October 5 2012. The next James Bond — No Time to Die — is scheduled for theatrical release on April 3 2020 in the United Kingdom and on April 8 2020 in the United States. I fear that James might die and Bond 25 will be the last of this series. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

On This Day — Soviet Union Launches SPUTNIK (October 4 1957) [2019]

Posted on October 4, 2019 by L

“On 4 October 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched the Sputnik-1 earth satellite into space—an achievement that stunned the American public and press, but not the U.S. policy and intelligence communities. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reported the advancements that led to this landmark launch to President Eisenhower, providing him with the strategic advantage to guide the U.S. response.”

CIA (October 4 2017)

On October 4 1957, the Soviet Union launched SPUTNIK-1 into an elliptical low Earth orbit. It was a 58 cm (23 in) diameter polished metal sphere, with four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses.

Its radio signal was easily detectable even by amateurs, and the 65° inclination and duration of its orbit made its flight path cover virtually the entire inhabited Earth. This surprise success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race, a key part of the Cold War. The launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Two Years Ago — US Spies & the Havana Syndrome

Posted on October 3, 2019 by L

“If the facts are confirmed and if the effects are indeed caused by a physical device, I find  the microwave explanation far more likely than a sonic attack. If this is indeed the case, I expect to hear nothing further in the future because the truth would sent a wave of panic through the Telecom industry.”

INTEL TODAY (October 3 2017)

“This happened during the Cold War to personnel stationed in the US embassy in Moscow when the Soviets were bombarding the embassy with microwaves to monitor oral communications in the ambassador’s office.”

Dr Joel Moskowitz — Community health professor at the University of California, Berkeley

“Until the government of Cuba can ensure safety of our people, we will be reduced to emergency personnel.”

US state department official

“In the more distant future, weapons systems based on new principles  — beam, geophysical, wave, genetic, psychophysical and other technology — will be developed. All this will, in addition to nuclear weapons, provide entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals. Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons but will be more ‘acceptable’ in terms of political and military ideology.”

Vladimir Putin — 2012

General Qassem Soleimani : “I Will Stand Against You” [UPDATE : Israeli Plot to Kill Soleimani Foiled]

Posted on October 3, 2019 by L

“Come! We are waiting.  You start this war, but we will finish it.”

Major-General Soleimani — Head of the elite Quds Force

“Iran will continue selling oil. We will proudly break the sanctions.”

Iran President Hassan Rouhani

November 4 2018 — The leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force, General Qassem Soleimani, has responded to US President Donald Trump’s announcement that “Sanctions Are Coming’ with a Game of Thrones inspired meme of his own.

Havana Syndrome — Pesticide may have caused diplomats’ illness. Really? [UPDATE : Better than the Crickets’ Theory but still implausible]

Posted on October 3, 2019 by L

“We report the clinical, imaging and biochemical evidence consistent with the hypothesis of over-exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors as the cause of brain injury.”

Canadian Study (September 2019)

“It took us many months to get to this conclusion, and there is lots of research to be done still, but this is the beginning of an answer to what happened, we think. There is a lot we don’t know about how much we can expose people to these chemicals and what are toxic levels, or if the damage in the brain is reversible. But it’s not called a neurotoxin for nothing. The hint is in the name.”

Dr. Alon Friedman — Professor of neuroscience at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia

“Do the results known to me fully support that the signs / symptoms occurring in US embassy personnel were solely due to cholinergic neurotoxicity? No, not completely.”

James Giordano PhD — Departments of Neurology and Biochemistry Georgetown University — Email to Intel Today (September 20 2019)

September 25 2019 — According to a new study commissioned by the Canadian government, fumigation against mosquitoes may have caused Canadian diplomats — and family members — to fall ill. Neither the diplomats nor the federal government consider the just-released report from Dalhousie University’s Brain Repair Centre as a conclusive answer. I am sceptical. On one hand,  the Dalhousie report confirms that Canadian diplomats suffered brain injuries while posted in Havana. But in many ways, it brings more questions than answers.

On This Day — The Tlatelolco Massacre (October 2 1968)

Posted on October 2, 2019 by L

“The situation will be under complete control very shortly.”

Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios (Head of Mexican Federal Security) — Message to the CIA (September 26 1968)

“The horrific nature of the Tlatelolco killings was made worse by the fact that, as a policy, it seemed to achieved its aims – the student movement was crushed, hopelessness prevailed, and the PRI had consolidated its power. A key part of this was suppression of the idea that the massacre ever happened at all – the official death toll remained under 30.”

Felix Bazalgette  — El Grito: the film banned for revealing the truth about Mexico in 1968

51 years ago on this day, a group of student protesters were gunned down in the middle of a square in Mexico City. At the time, authorities tried to cover up the true scale of what happened, but the Mexican government has now accepted it was a state crime.

In 2002, President Vicente Fox appointed Ignacio Carrillo Prieto to prosecute those responsible for ordering the massacre. In 2006, former President Luis Echeverría was arrested on charges of genocide. However, in March 2009, the genocide charges against Echeverria were dismissed.

Despite the ruling, prosecutor Carrillo Prieto said he would continue his investigation and seek charges against Echeverria before the United Nations International Court of Justice and the Inter-American Human Rights Commission. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

On This Day — Gadhafi Target of U.S. Disinformation (October 2 1986 — Bob Woodward) [2019]

Posted on October 2, 2019 by L

“Your White House, specifically your national security adviser, constructed an operation whereby the free press in this country was going to be used to convey a false story to the world, namely that Qaddafi was planning new terrorist operations.”

New York Times (October 3 1986)

“There is a wonderful book that you might read… And the title of it is from a quote from Winston Churchill: ‘In time of war, the truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.’ ”

Secretary of State George P. Shultz (October 3 1986)

TRUMP WHISTLEBLOWER: CHOICE OF LAWYER RAISES SUSPICIONS

Posted on October 1, 2019 by L

“That [Mark] Zaid is involved in this case leads me to believe that the CIA whistleblower is either an idiot who has no idea what he’s gotten himself into or he’s been directed to make his ‘disclosure’.”

Former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou

“The CIA advised that on February 24, 2003, it was contacted by Mark Zaid and Roy Krieger. They told the CIA on February 24 that a client of theirs [Jeffrey Sterling] had contacted them on February 21, 2003, and that that client, that unnamed client at the time voiced his concerns about an operation that was nuclear in nature, and he threatened to go to the media.”

Ashley Hunt — FBI witness at the Jeffrey Sterling trial

“Because he just formed a new whistleblower group with John Napier Tye, there as been renewed interest in allegations an FBI Agent made during the Jeffrey Sterling case about attorney Mark Zaid. But there was actually a second detail regarding Zaid released just after the trial that has not been publicly reported: Zaid was interviewed by the FBI, twice, and was even interviewed before Sterling himself was.”

Marcy Wheeler aka Emptywheel

Mark S. Zaid is a Washington DC attorney, with a practice focus on national security law.

In a piece posted on the Consortium News website, former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou points out that it is totally odd for the CIA “whistleblower” to have hired Mark Zaid. I could not agree more.  Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →
