Two Years Ago — Russia Hacking : The Facts about Obama’s Warning Message to Putin

Posted on January 2, 2019 by L

“International law, including the law for armed conflict, applies to actions in cyberspace. We will hold Russia to those standards.”

US Message to Moscow over the Red Phone (October 31 2016)

“Moscow’s hacking and dumping of Democratic emails to WikiLeaks is not an initiation of armed conflict. It’s not a violation of the U.N. Charter’s prohibition on the use of force. It’s not a situation that would allow the U.S. to respond in self-defense militarily.”

Michael Schmitt — Chairman of the U.S. Naval War College’s International Law Department

One Year Ago — Fake News in Academia : How to Discredit a Major Discovery [Havana Syndrome]

Posted on January 2, 2019 by L

“I see no basis for such statements. They followed standard operating procedures. So, if the basic NTP methodology is flawed you have to throw out all the NTP studies. The controls are handled the same way as the exposed. This sounds like some conspiracy theory.”

 Ron Melnick —  Former NTP study Director

“It is disconcerting that a few scientists are trying to dismiss this study which is considered the strongest toxicology study ever conducted on cell phone radiation and cancer.”

Joel Moskowitz — University of California School of Public Health in Berkeley

“I have read all the reviews and never found a hint that the slides were read unblinded.”

Michael Kundi — Head of the Vienna University’s Institute of Environmental Health.

Maria Feychting

January 2 2018 — Last year, the National Toxicology Program announced that cell phone radiation increased the incidence of tumours in the brain and heart of male rats. Now, Maria Feychting — a professor at the Karolinska Institute and the vice chair of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) — is casting doubt on the landmark $25 million NTP RF animal study in a talk presented at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the institute that awards the Nobel prizes. Shame on her. She is simply lying! Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_Today Continue reading →

Was PUTIN Name Redacted From Flynn FBI 302 Just Released? Almost Certainly!

Posted on January 2, 2019 by L

“Investigators have learned that Mr. Flynn and Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, took the lead in those efforts. Mr. Mueller’s team has emails that show Mr. Flynn saying he would work to kill the vote [on UN Resolution 2334].”

New York Times (December 1, 2017)

“Russia had reservations, primarily about the timing of the resolution, but the other countries did not agree with Russia’s position to continue the discussion.”

Alexander Dubrovin — Russia’s Deputy Ambassador to Israel (December 27 2016)

In January 2017, two FBI agents interviewed the then- US National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. On December 1 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI during that interview. On December 17 2018, at the request of Judge Emmet Sullivan, the Special Counsel’s Office released a redacted version of their report — known as a FBI 302 — regarding this event. I strongly believe that the word PUTIN was redacted in a key paragraph of that document. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

TOP INTEL TODAY 2018 STORIES — #10 : “Salisbury Incident — Skripal Case Investigators Could Learn From The Lockerbie Affair”

Posted on January 1, 2019 by L

“The men and women at Bletchley had no idea that in the Napoleonic Wars we had broken the French ciphers, any more than those people knew how ciphers had been cracked when we faced the threat from the Armada.

There was absolutely no question of learning from experience. This repeats itself more in intelligence than in any other area because the experience is less well-known, and much of it classified. That is why you get major policymakers whose abilities are adequate in other ways who do so badly in matters of intelligence.

There is no profession that knows so little about its own history as the intelligence community does.”

Professor Christopher Andrew — Emeritus Professor of Modern and Contemporary History

Intel Today — Knowns & Unknowns of the 2019 Intelligence Calendar

Posted on January 1, 2019 by L

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Leonardo Da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519)

“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.”

 United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld —
 news briefing (February 12, 2002)

January 1 2019 —  This year has been designated as International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements by the United Nations General Assembly.

The year will bring its lot of surprises as we know that there are plenty known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

As a wise guy once said: “It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future.” (The remark has been attributed to Niels Bohr, Goldwyn, Robert Storm Petersen, and Yogi Berra. But it seems it originates from a debate in the Danish parliament in 1937/1938.)

So I will not attempt to make predictions. Here are however a few known dates regarding stories that Intel Today is following: Norwegian ‘spy’ Frode Berg, former CIA Jerry Lee, General Michael Flynn, BREXIT, Dag Hammarskjold, Lockerbie and… James Bond 25.

John Pilger : A Look Back at 2018 & Ahead to 2019

Posted on December 31, 2018 by L

“The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies — socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor — and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonald is to food.”

“Orwell is almost our litmus test. Some of his satirical writing looks like reality these days.”

John Pilger

“I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years and I was educated to lie, to betray and not to tell the truth to the public. The truth will come out one day, the truth won’t die.”

Dr. Udo Ulfkotte: German Journalist and Whistleblower

Legendary journalist and filmmaker John Pilger discusses the events of 2018, including the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen, events in Syria, Brexit, the Integrity Initiative, and more. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

On This Day — Saddam Hussein is Executed (December 30 2006)

Posted on December 30, 2018 by L

“No one can know what would have happened to Iraq had Saddam stayed in power. With that question unanswerable, many Iraqis look back at the death and destruction of the past 15 years, and in a haze of nostalgia for the stability of dictatorship, believe they would have been better off with Saddam.”

Jane Arraf — NPR (April 2018)

“In a now famous interview with the Iraqi leader, U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie told Saddam, ‘[W]e have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.’ The U.S. State Department had earlier told Saddam that Washington had ‘no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait.’ The United States may not have intended to give Iraq a green light, but that is effectively what it did.”

Foreign Policy (2003)

Following his capture on December 13 2003, the trial of Saddam took place under the Iraqi Interim Government. On November 5 2006, Saddam was convicted by an Iraqi court of crimes against humanity related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi’a, and sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam Hussein was executed on December 30 2006.
