Did the CIA Betray President Jimmy Carter ?

Posted on January 3, 2025 by L

“We must never again keep secret the evolution of our nation’s intelligence agencies from the scrutiny of the Congress or the people.”

Jimmy Carter
1976
Presidential campaign

January 3, 2025 — In his Memoirs, Carter reflects on his presidency (1977–1981), including his perspectives on foreign policy and intelligence matters, and his concerns about the conduct of the CIA and the need for reform. Carter was deeply troubled by governmental deception in foreign policy and by the “CIA’s role in plotting murder and other crimes.” Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

Intel Today Book on CIA Memorial Wall Banned by Amazon

Posted on December 26, 2024 by L

“Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands. (…) Under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.”

Albert Einstein
(USA, May 1949)

December 26, 2024 — Yesterday, without any explanation, Amazon banned my book on the CIA Memorial Wall. I am convinced that this decision was made at the request of the CIA. Banning books, especially those tackling sensitive or controversial topics, represents a serious threat to democratic values.

Critics have long argued that Amazon’s close ties with the CIA could lead to indirect influence over its operations, though no direct evidence has surfaced to confirm such claims. Now, this situation presents journalists and investigators with a compelling case to explore. Stay updated and join the conversation by following us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY.

On This Day — Pan Am Flight 103 disintegrates over Lockerbie (December 21 1988) [UPDATE — Relatives still seek the truth]

Posted on December 22, 2024 by L

“Operation El Dorado Canyon (1986) turned out to be a more decisive blow against Libyan-sponsored terrorism than I could ever have imagined. There were revenge killings of British hostages organized by Libya, which I bitterly regretted. But the much-vaunted Libyan counter attack did not and could not take place. There was a marked decline in Libyan-sponsored terrorism in succeeding years.”

Margaret Thatcher
The Downing Street Years
(Memoirs 1993, pp 448-9)

December 21 2021 — On December 21 1988, N739PA — the Boeing 747 aircraft operating the transatlantic leg of Pan Am Flight 103 — broke up in flight over Scotland. All 243 passengers and 16 crew died as well as 11 residents of Lockerbie. This horrific crime has been called the world’s biggest unsolved murder. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

Posted on December 10, 2024 by L

“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

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

Posted on December 9, 2024 by L

“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
