“Sixty-six million years ago, a ten kilometer space rock plumeted into the Ucitan Peninsula, causing a prolonged nuclear winter, killing off the Dinosaurs. Today, such a collision would likely end human civilization”
David Eicher
“We really need an internationally agreed and coordinated strategy for the development of asteroid litigation technology and very importantly the implementation of procedures for an emergency deflection scenario.”

“The dinosaurs never saw that asteroid coming, what’s our excuse?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The ancients were correct in their belief that the heavens and the motion of astronomical bodies affect life on earth – just not in the way they imagined. Sometimes those heavenly bodies run into Earth. This is why we must make it our mission to find asteroids before they find us. The only way we can insure the people and governments remain aware of these long term risks, which cumulatively are serious, is through the public being aware of them.”
Lord Martin Rees
June 30 2019 — Asteroid Day (also known as International Asteroid Day) is an annual global event which is held on the anniversary of the Siberian Tunguska event that took place on June 30, 1908, the most harmful known asteroid-related event on Earth in recent history.

“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Sherlock Holmes
A former police officer, codenamed “The Golfer”, has claimed evidence had been fabricated to lay a trail to the Libyans. The SCCRC found no basis for concluding that evidence had been fabricated by the police, the Crown, forensic scientists or any other representatives of official bodies or government agencies. Let us review what we actually know about the GOLFER. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“This gentleman, Skripal, had already been punished. He was arrested, sentenced and then served time in prison. He received his punishment. For that matter, he was off the radar. Why would anybody be interested in him? He got punished. He was detained, arrested, sentenced and then spent five years in prison. Then he was released and that was it.”
President Vladimir Putin (June 27 2019)
I have long argued that the Skripal Affair could be part of Russiagate and that the Spygate investigation may very well reveal the Novichok narrative as a complete fabrication. Perhaps, Putin just gave us an interesting clue. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“We still hope the truth will come out. We know that very probably the plane was struck down by a missile. Too many people have been keeping this secret for too long but we will not give up until we know everything that happened.”

“Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was ‘civis romanus sum’. Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is ‘Ich bin ein Berliner!’ … All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words ‘Ich bin ein Berliner!'”
U.S. President John F. Kennedy in West Berlin (June 26 1963)
Kennedy’s ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ speech was watched by West Berliners
June 26 2019 — The speech is considered one of Kennedy’s best, both a notable moment of the Cold War and a high point of the New Frontier. It was a great morale boost for West Berliners, who lived in an enclave deep inside East Germany and feared a possible East German occupation. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“The United States Government is as unscrupulous as it has accused the Soviet Government of being. Our main dissatisfaction concerned some of the practices the United States uses in gathering intelligence information … deliberately violating the airspace of other nations … intercepting and deciphering the secret communications of its own allies … Perhaps United States hostility towards Communism arises out of a feeling of insecurity engendered by Communist achievements in science, culture and industry.”

D-Notice issued on March 7 2018
May 10 2018 — If you think that “slapping a D-notice” on a story the establishment wants to hide from the public is the stuff of thrillers, spy stories and conspiracy theories, you are in for a shock.
Last month, the Defence and Security Media Advisory Committee (DSMA) has issued at least two D-Notices to request the complicity of the UK media over crucial pieces of information related to the Skripal Affair. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading
“The legislation ultimately will harm, not help, our national security interests (…) If left to stand, it will curtail legitimate journalistic scrutiny of a particularly important and sensitive area of government, creating the possibility that wrongdoing or wrong-headedness could flourish in that area, unchecked by public awareness.”
