“The signatory states of the Metre Convention represent about 98% of the world’s economy, so the SI is the very basis of international trade, constituting a global measurement quality infrastructure through the national metrology institutes.”
Nature — The new system of units (January 7 2016)
The SI system after the redefinition: Dependence of base unit definitions on physical constants with fixed numerical values and on other base units that are derived from the same set of constants.
On November 16 2018, the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) voted unanimously in favour of revised definitions of the SI base units. The new definitions will come into force on May 20 2019. Have you noticed that in the “great Western democracies”, important decisions are almost never debated and very seldom reported by the media?

“It clearly shows that most of the increase in GBM [glioblastoma multiforme] occurred in just two regions of the brain, the temporal and frontal lobes. There’s no reason to believe that better diagnosis would favor one part of the brain over another. I’m not saying it’s necessarily mobile phones, but surely that’s the most obvious possibility. After all, the temporal and frontal lobes are exposed to the most radiation when a phone is held up to the ear. I can’t think of anything else to account for what we are seeing. What else is there?”

“William Broad, a veteran science reporter, would have us believe that he tailored his write-up to tell people what they want to know. But the NTP story was not that the rats got brain cancer or even that they got malignant tumors in their hearts. The key finding was that they got cancer. A responsible headline would have read, Cell Phone Radiation Causes Cancer.”

November 11 2018 — Some American diplomats — and their doctors — have growing concerns that the U.S. government is trying to downplay whatever happened to them. I am afraid they are entirely correct. Actually, I predicted this cover-up more than a year ago! Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAYContinue reading →
“Your White House, specifically your national security adviser, constructed an operation whereby the free press in this country was going to be used to convey a false story to the world, namely that Qaddafi was planning new terrorist operations, and that we were going to hit him again, or we might hit him again – full well knowing that this was not true. Now, if that’s the case, then the press is being used, and we will in the future not know when we’re being told information from the White House whether it’s true or it’s not.”
President Reagan’s interview — White House (Oct 2 1986)
“However desirable it may be to get rid of this unstable, dangerous dictator, the chosen technique was worthy of the KGB. To the Reagan Administration’s shame, the disinformation worked all too well, but only here in the land of the free. (…) There is no place in America for those who envy the Communists their deceptions. There is no place in America for disinformation.”
“Lies Wound America, Not Libya” — New York Times (October 1986)
“I was shown a large amount of military vehicles and hardware that had been seized by the Togo Government following this attempted Coup, but saw that what the perpetrators had intended to use were flash timers, which bear absolutely no relation to MST-13 Timers.”
DI Watson McAteer — Lockerbie Investigator
“You are right on the button with this splendid explanation. I have in my possession one of the original ‘pageboy’ timers which were being used in the briefcase bombs. The USA AUTHORITIES WERE WELL AWARE YEARS BEFORE Lockerbie that MEBO was supplying this kind of circuitry to LIBYA and that knowledge allowed them to act in the manner described in your article. Very well done thank you.”
Lockerbie Investigator George Thomson — Email to Intel Today (Nov 27 2016)
MST-13 Timer recovered in Togo
November 21 2018 — PT/35(b), a small fragment of a timer circuit board found among the debris of Pan Am 103 at Lockerbie, was the critical piece of evidence that pointed the investigation towards Libya.
As FBI agent Richard Marquise — the man who led the US side of the investigation under the direction of Robert Mueller — himself said: “Without PT/35(b), there would have been no indictment.”
PT/35(b) may very well have been necessary to “solve the case”, but it was certainly not sufficient. It was also necessary to match PT/35(b) to the MST-13 timers which had “solely” been supplied by the Swiss company MEBO to Libya.
It turned out that the CIA was “fortunately” in possession of such a MST-13 timer (also known as K1) which had been allegedly brought back to the US by some US Government employees following a visit to Togo in the fall of 1986.
The story of the two Togo timers is weird and murky. And the fact that this occurred during a well documented disinformation operation against Gaddafi can only add to our suspicion.
To mark the 30th Anniversary of the Pan Am 103 tragedy, INTEL TODAY will re-post one of our best Lockerbie stories every Wednesday until the end of the year. We would like to know what you think. Please, take this poll and encourage your friends to participate.

“I think some people think we’re stupid. We’re not stupid people. We think about these things a lot. When you have this responsibility, how do you not think about it?”
Air Force General John Hyten — Commander of the US Strategic Command (Stratcom)
“The siren howled. But I just sat there for a few seconds, staring at the big, back-lit, red screen with the word ‘launch’ on it.”
Colonel Stanislav Petrov (September 26 1983)
“Information about the peculiar and remarkably skewed frame of mind of the Soviet leaders during those times that has emerged since the collapse of the Soviet Union makes me think there is a good chance—with all of the other events in 1983—that they really felt a NATO attack was at least possible and that they took a number of measures to enhance their military readiness short of mobilization. After going through the experience at the time, then through the post-mortems, and now through the documents, I don’t think the Soviets were crying wolf. They may not have believed a NATO attack was imminent in November 1983, but they did seem to believe that the situation was very dangerous. And US intelligence [SNIE 11–9-84 and SNIE 11–10–84] had failed to grasp the true extent of their anxiety.”

Colonel Moon: You will not live to see the day all Korea is ruled by the North.
James Bond: Then you and I have something in common.
James Bond — Die Another Day (2002)
“Die Another Day is the wrong film at the wrong time.”
South Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism
“I wanted the simplest, dullest, plainest-sounding name I could find, and ‘James Bond’ was much better than something more interesting, like ‘Peregrine Carruthers.’ Exotic things would happen to and around him, but he would be a neutral figure — an anonymous, blunt instrument wielded by a government department.”
Ian Fleming
In 1943, Ian Fleming flew to Jamaica to track down rumors of a secret submarine base near Nassau. It was there that he picked up a book on birds — written by one James Bond. Ten years later, when Fleming decided to channel his time in intelligence into fiction, he pilfered the name “James Bond” for his new hero in “Casino Royale.”
Die Another Day is a 2002 British-American spy film, the twentieth film in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, as well as the fourth and final film to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film follows Bond as he leads a mission to North Korea, during which he is betrayed and, after seemingly killing a rogue North Korean colonel, is captured and imprisoned.

“A British IT manager and former hacker launched and ran an international disinformation campaign that has provided US President Donald Trump with fake evidence and false arguments to deny that Russia interfered to help him win the election.”
Duncan Campbell (July 31 2018)
“At around this time, a friend and former associate of VIPS verified that I was genuinely from the UK (versus what Campbell had convinced himself of at that time) and, at the end of 2017, that friend notified the US Department of Justice of my real identity and noted that I had helped to collate evidence that was referenced in a report he’d previously sent to Rosenstein, Mueller and others (so, it means that although Campbell eventually attributed “Adam Carter” to the correct person he only really exposed my identity to the public as I’d already agreed to my details being passed to the US government by an ally 7 months earlier).”
Adam Carter — Email to Intel Today (November 19 2018)
In a piece published during the summer 2018, Duncan Campbell claimed that Bill Binney had changed his views on RussiaGate. That is hardly true. In the same piece, Campbell went on to smear independent researcher ‘Adam Carter’. Why the smear campaign? What is really going on behind the scene?

So, if it becomes clear that Al Qaeda tricked President Trump not only would he be responsible for violating international law and killing innocent people, but he and virtually the entire Western political establishment along with the major news media would look like Al Qaeda’s “useful idiots.”
Robert Parry — Consortium News
“I can say the following very confidently. Many officials in our Western governments have really no knowledge of the truth! This is what is so scary. Our decision-makers have been deceived either by misinformation or lies provided by their Intelligence Agencies regarding this conflict.”

November 19 2017 — The United Nations-sponsored report on the April 4 sarin incident in an Al Qaeda-controlled town in Syria blames Bashar al-Assad’s government for the atrocity. However, a carefull reading of its “Annex II” demonstrates that the conclusion is hardly facts-based. I have asked real military experts to comment on this UN report. Stay tuned!

“Under the new president, as the news today says, the new CIA director [Mike Pompeo] is an individual who believes that dissidents such as myself should be put to death, they believe that it is the appropriate solution to disagreeing with the government.”
Edward Snowden
“President-elect Trump’s transition to power is reshaping American government, and the worlds of cybersecurity and surveillance are no exception. A congressman who’s called for Snowden’s execution may soon lead the CIA. The director of national intelligence is out, and the head of the NSA may take his place. And a senator with a horrifying record on civil liberties, particularly privacy and online surveillance could soon helm the Department of Justice.”
WIRED
“In some ways, I do think [leaking has] accelerated. I think there is a phenomenon, the worship of Edward Snowden, and those who steal American secrets for the purpose of self-aggrandizement or money or for whatever their motivation may be, does seem to be on the increase.”
CIA Director Mike Pompeo — June 24 2017
“If Assange can be prosecuted merely for publishing leaked classified documents, every single media outlet is at risk of prosecution for doing the exact same thing. There would be no way to differentiate a traditional media outlet such as The New York Times or The Atlantic from an entity like WikiLeaks without involving the government and the courts in the formulation of a legal definition of what qualifies as a part of the press. Is it only a traditional outlet like a newspaper or a television network? What about legal bloggers who do freelance work? Or how about online-only platforms? Is one more deserving of First Amendment protection than the other? This is not something I want the government deciding in a criminal context.”
Bradley P. Moss — Deputy executive director of the James Madison Project (November 19 2018)
November 19 2016 — During a Q&A in Oslo via a video link from Moscow on Friday November 18 2016, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said the new director of the CIA — Mike Pompeo — under the Trump administration believes that “dissidents such as myself” should be put to death.

“Prison officials dropped the ball by transferring him to the notoriously violent Hazelton facility and mixing him with the general population. It’s like sending somebody to death row. (…)We all know that you can’t put somebody high-profile like Whitey Bulger there. It’s like throwing meat to a bunch of sharks.”
Joe Rojas — President of American Federation of Government Employees at the Fed Correctional Complex in Coleman, Florida
“[Special counsel Robert Mueller] is the guy who kept four innocent people in prison for many years in order to protect the cover of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informer.”
Alan Dershowitz — Harvard Law Professor emeritus
“Long before he became FBI Director, serious questions existed about Mueller’s role as Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston in effectively enabling decades of corruption and covering up of the FBI’s illicit deals with mobster Whitey Bulger and other top echelon informants who committed numerous murders and crimes.”
Coleen Rowley — Retired FBI special agent and Division legal counsel
“I have spoken to former IRA members who say it was common knowledge these paintings [Gardner Museum] were probably in hands of the organization.”
Arthur Brand — Dutch investigator and art adviser based in Amsterdam
“On the new morning of 18 March 1990, even the dogs in the streets of south Boston must have known that Whitey was involved in some way before, during, or after the robbery [of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum].”
Charles Hill — Former Scotland Yard detective turned private investigator
On November 14 2013, Whitey Bulger was sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment, plus five years. Obviously, two lifetimes will go by quickly if a FBI informant is dropped in a prison filled with dangerous criminals working for the mafia. Whoever decided to transfer Bulger to the notoriously violent Hazelton facility knew that he would not survive very long. So, why was he sentenced to death? Allow me to suggest two possibilities. The first is related to the past of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The second involves the Isabella Stewart Gardner Heist. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAYContinue reading →
