“The White House is now branding Flynn ‘a lying liar who lies’ but there is at least one good reason to believe that Flynn was indeed acting under the order of a senior member of Trump transition team.”

December 18 2018 — Judge Sullivan decided to delay the sentencing of General Michael Flynn, and set a status hearing for March 13 2019. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“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.”
Mohamed Chande Othman — UN Report A/71/1042
“It is unthinkable that there are no transcripts [of the intercepted messages] in the US archives and perhaps also in the UK archives. I suspect that there is so far undisclosed and highly pertinent information in the transcripts. When the US authorities replied to the Hammarskjöld Commission’s very precise request for transcripts, they said that they had ‘documents responsive to your request’ but claimed that they were secret. “The time is now long overdue – more than 50 years after this tragic event – for the US and the UK to conduct a complete review of records in their custody – including in particular still-classified records – and make them available to the United Nations.”
Lord Lea of Crondall — (Letter to the UK foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, and the US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson)
Dag Hammarskjold

“The only explanation for this legal error is that Djalali’s so-called lawyer colluded with Judge Salavati of the Iranian Revolutionary Court, who sentenced him to death after physical and psychological torture, and without any fair or public trial .”
VUB Professor Gerlant van Berlaer
“A scientist performing important humanitarian work has been sentenced without public trial and is looking at the death penalty. This is an outrageous violation of universal human rights, against which we should react decisively.”
Rector Caroline Pauwels — VUB [Vrije Universiteit Brussel]
“I have never acted against my country, I have never spied for Israel or any other country. My only fault is that I did not accept to use the trust of my colleagues and universities in EU to spy for Iran’s intelligence services.”

“We respectfully request that you direct the Iranian authorities to allow Dr. Djalali to return home to his wife and children and continue his scholarly work for the benefit of mankind.”

“When it comes to American politics specifically and European politics in general, there is nothing like playing the Russia card. If there is something wrong or there is something you don’t like, simply blame Vladimir Putin. That is exactly what the CIA is doing.”
Intel Today (December 17, 2016)
“Political and legal danger for President Trump may be sharpening by the day, but the case that his campaign might have conspired with the Russian attack on the 2016 election is still unproven despite two years of investigations, court filings and even numerous convictions and guilty pleas.”
Philip Ewing — NPR (December 15, 2018)

“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 – November 30 2018
“Given the massive cybersecurity and national security risks, the only responsible decision is for Berlin to follow the Australian, New Zealand, and U.S. lead and ban Chinese providers from the German 5G network. In doing so, Europe’s strongest economy would send a crucial signal to the rest of the European Union members that are grappling with the same decision.”
Thorsten Benner — Director of the Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin (December 9 2018)
“The UK needs to take decision on the extent to which we are going to be comfortable with Chinese ownership of these technologies.”
MI6 chief Alex Younger (December 3 2018)
“Huawei shares with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of the foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with.”
General Michael Hayden — Former head of the U.S. National Security Agency
The United States, Australia and New Zealand have already blocked Huawei from building their new 5G networks on security grounds. On Wednesday (Dec. 5), Britain’s BT Group said it would rip Huawei equipment from its core telecom network. Canada is also likely to ban Huawei. On Friday(Dec. 7), it was reported that Japan is expected to ban government use of products made by Huawei and ZTE over cybersecurity concerns. So, why on earth has Europe been silent on this critical issue for so long? What are they waiting for? I am afraid that it will all depend on Germany’s decision.

“Neither of the leaks (from the Democratic National Committee or Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta) came from the Russians. The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.”
Former UK Ambassador Craig Murray
“I know ambassador Murray. He is a very honest person. He would not say these things unless he knew that. Not only do we know it is a leak, NOT a hack, but we also know who did it.”

“The threat from Isis is not over. It will take a different shape and I won’t be surprised if we start to see an alliance between Isis and al-Qaida in different areas in the Middle East. Al-Qaida is thinking in long-term strategy. They’re building alliances. Al-Qaida is stronger today than they were before 9/11. They are focusing locally, but even if a small portion of these guys decides to go global again I think we’re going to have a big problem.”
Ali Soufan — Former FBI agent (June 2018)
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
On December 16 2016, the US State Department increased the reward for information regarding the IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to $25 million. He released his last audio message on August 23 2018. The message calls on al-Baghdadi’s followers to “persevere” despite heavy losses in Iraq and Syria and called for more attacks around the world. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

“The thesis in my books and my writing is that anti-American terrorism arises from the behavior of U.S. foreign policy. It is what the U.S. government does which angers people all over the world.”
William Blum
“William Blum was at the forefront of critical debate and analysis of US foreign policy. He combined honesty and Truth with carefully documented analysis. His important legacy will live.”
Michel Chossudovsky (December 10, 2018)
“The newspapers were filled with pictures of happy relatives of the victims of the December 21, 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. A Libyan, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, had been found guilty of the crime the day before, January 31, 2001, by a Scottish court in the Hague, though his co-defendant, Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah, was acquitted. At long last there was going to be some kind of closure for the families. But what was wrong with this picture? What was wrong was that the evidence against Megrahi was thin to the point of transparency.”
William Blum — Everything you know is wrong
Independent journalist and author William Blum died Sunday (Dec. 9 2018) at the age of 85 in Virginia. Blum’s books “Killing Hope” and “Rogue State” were widely praised for their detailed history of recent U.S. foreign policy. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
