Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King (January 15 1929 – Assassinated: April 4 1968) — The FBI Suicide Letter (2019)

Posted on April 4, 2019 by L

“The debate over how much the government should know about our private lives has never been more heated: Should intelligence agencies be able to sweep our email, read our texts, track our phone calls, locate us by GPS? Much of the conversation swirls around the possibility that agencies like the N.S.A. or the F.B.I. will use such information not to serve national security but to carry out personal and political vendettas. King’s experience reminds us that these are far from idle fears, conjured in the fevered minds of civil libertarians. They are based in the hard facts of history.”

Beverly Gage — Professor of American history at Yale

On November 21 1964, a letter — and a tape recording allegedly of King’s sexual indiscretions — was delivered to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The author appears to suggest that King should commit suicide or else… Although the letter was anonymously written, King suspected the FBI had sent the package He was not wrong.

5G — Brussels Government Gives Up on New Environmental Law

Posted on April 3, 2019 by L

“I cannot welcome such technology if the radiation standards, which must protect the citizen, are not respected, 5G or not. The people of Brussels are not guinea pigs whose health I can sell at a profit. We cannot leave anything to doubt.”

Céline Fremault — Brussels Environment Minister (CDH)

In July 2018, the Brussels government concluded an agreement with three Belgian telecom operators. In exchange for a new —  less severe — environmental law, the operators would develop their 5G pilot project in the European Capital. Suddenly, the project is cancelled. What just happened?

One Year Ago — “Gina, She-Wolf of the CIA” by Larry Beinhart

Posted on April 2, 2019 by L

“Gina [Haspel] has her defenders. Some on the left. Some who are very reputable people. They depict her as being very competent, thorough, and professional. But no one ever accused the Nazis of being sloppy, inept, and amateurish. They were accused of war crimes.”

Larry Beinhart

Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS is a 1975 Canadian Nazisploitation and sexploitation film directed by Don Edmonds, produced by David F. Friedman and written by Jonah Royston.

April 2 2018 — Larry Beinhart has just penned a thoughtful — yet highly entertaining — analysis of Trump’s pick for head of the CIA which I repost here with his kind permission. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Two Years Ago — General Mike Flynn &The Mysterious Svetlana Lokhova

Posted on April 2, 2019 by L

“Multiple sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the CIA and FBI were discussing this episode, along with many others, as they assessed Flynn’s suitability to serve as national security adviser. The Cambridge meeting was part of a wider pattern of  maverick behaviour which included repeated contacts with Russia.”

Luke Harding, Stephanie Kirchgaessner and Nick Hopkins –The Guardian (March 31 2017)

Svetlana Lokhova

April 2 2017 — Long before his nomination as Trump’s National Security Advisor, US and UK Intelligence officials were troubled by Lieutenant-General Michael Flynn’s relationship with a Russian woman. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

5G — Belgium Postpones Spectrum Auction to 2020. And Maybe Later… Why? [UPDATE]

Posted on April 2, 2019 by L

“Perhaps, the most puzzling part of the Belgian Intelligence Services report is what it does not mention. Although most countries are extremely concerned about China investments in their Telecom infrastructure, the Belgian report is silent on this issue. Why, on earth, why?”

Intel Today – December 3 2018

“Brussels has now overtaken Vienna when it comes to the density of so-called intelligence services from outside the EU.”

Peter Gridling — Head of Austria’s domestic intelligence agency (June 2018)

January 29 2019 — During the Summer 2018, the Belgian federal government announced that the auction for the 5G frequency bands would take place in 2019. Suddenly, this auction is delayed to 2020, and perhaps later. Obviously, the deadline set by the EU for the distribution of 700 MHz frequencies (also known as the ‘Golden frequency band’), set for mid-2020, could be jeopardized. What is going on?

The Times (March 23 2019)

“Admitting that the organization had erroneously rushed to judgment in response to an unimaginable tragedy, CIA director Gina Haspel issued a posthumous apology Wednesday to the family of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in light of new evidence which conclusively clears the former Libyan Airline employee of any involvement whatsoever in the Lockerbie attack.”

CIA Issues Posthumous Apology After New Evidence Clears  Abdel Baset al-Megrahi Of Involvement In Lockerbie Attack — Virginia Post (April 1 2019)

Posted on March 31, 2019 by L

“With strong feeling personal insufficiency I hesitate to accept candidature but I do not feel I could refuse to assume the task imposed on me should the [UN General] Assembly follow the recommendation of the Security Council by which I feel deeply honoured.”

Dag Hammarskjöld  (April 1, 1953)

“It will be necessary to find some way of pulling Hammarskjold up short.”

UK Prime Minister Harold Macmillan (September 13  1961)

“Hammarskjöld was at the point of getting something done when they killed him. Notice that I said ‘when they killed him’.”

Posted on March 31, 2019 by L

“If you think ‘Navy Seals’ sound fearsome, how about the ‘Soviet Battle Moose’? They’ve certainly been getting the media in Finland fired up – although a little basic journalistic fact-checking might have saved them from all the worry.”

Russia Today

One Year Ago — Dag Hammarskjold Investigation Reauthorized by U. N. Secretary General

Posted on March 30, 2019 by L

 “His death was almost certainly the result of a sinister intervention.”

Susan Williams — University of London scholar of African decolonization

“I also received information regarding an unauthenticated claim made by a Belgian pilot, Beukels, to Claude de Kemoularia in 1967 that Beukels shot down or otherwise forced SE-BDY to crash. In the course of my work, I was for the first time given access to the originals of De Kemoularia’s agendas, as well as many of his personal records, which appear to verify his meeting with “Beukels” and other mercenaries in 1967. I also reviewed De Kemoularia’s letters showing that he had gone to the French and Swedish authorities regarding Beukels’s claim much earlier than previously understood. However, without further information, I was not able to verify other aspects of the claim, including, most notably, the identity of Beukels.”
