Posted on April 10, 2025 by L

Lockerbie — New documents blame Libya for Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 [UPDATE : Sarkozy and Gaddafi’s Spy Chief: Deal or Denial? Verdict Coming September 25 — POLL]

Posted on April 9, 2025 by L

“The FBI and the US Department of Justice have been aware of this and I know they’re working closely with their colleagues at the Crown Office and Police Scotland to see if this is something that can be used in court. I’m very hopeful that it can be used and will lead to at least one more conviction. We’ll have to see what goes beyond that, depending on what they can find.”

Former FBI Richard Marquise
(March 2025)

March 19 2025 — If authenticated, the newly revealed documents provide incontrovertible evidence that Colonel Gaddafi’s Jamahiriya Security Organisation (JSO) was indeed behind the destruction of both Pan Am 103 and UTA 772. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

April 14 1986 — Reagan Strikes on Tripoli and Benghazi

April 5 2025 — In a piece published by the Washington Post on April 7 2017, Amber Phillips wrote that President Ronald Reagan’s 1986 bombing raid on Tripoli and Benghazi was retaliation for the 1988 attack on Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie. At the time, I would have bet the farm that this would be the most idiotic story ever reported by the Washington Post. On February 11 2020, Greg Miller taught me a good lesson: ‘The worst is — always — yet to come.”  Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

MLK Day — Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King (January 15 1929 – Assassinated April 4 1968) (The FBI Suicide Letter) [UPDATE : Public Skepticism Toward the FBI Reaches New Highs] [Poll : Do you believe that the CIA is behind Pornhub?]

Posted on April 4, 2025 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.”

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

January 15 2025 — 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. Today, I will raise an obvious question: Is the CIA behind the infamous PORNHUB website? Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

On This Day — FBI agents arrest Ted Kaczynski (April 3 1996) [UPDATE: From Cream Separator to A-Bombs]

Posted on April 3, 2025 by L

“Crowding, rapid change and the breakdown of communities have been widely recognized as sources of social problems. But we do not believe they are enough to account for the extent of the problems that are seen today.
If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.
The concept of ‘mental health’ in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress.”

Theodore John Kaczynski
aka
The Unabomber

 

In the first ever book-length philosophical analysis of Ted Kaczynski’s writings on Industrial Civilization, Chad A. Haag explores the supremely-forbidden territory of questioning Modern Technology.

April 3 2022 — On April 3 1996, FBI agents raided the Montana cabin of Ted Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber. In his essays, the Unabomber wrote about ethics and technology. The current pandemic raises many such issues. Is it ‘right’ to impose a vaccine if you know that it will save millions while killing a few? Let me ask you a hypothetical question… The trolley problem is a thought experiment in ethics modeling an ethical dilemma. It is generally considered to represent a classic clash between two schools of moral thought, utilitarianism and deontological ethics.  Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — Julius And Ethel Rosenberg Are Convicted of Espionage (March 29 1951) [The Cost of Fear: From the Rosenbergs to a $100 Billion Intelligence Budget]

Posted on March 29, 2025 by L

“If the English want a king, it is their business. If the Russians want communism, it is their business. If the Americans want our form of government, it is our business.”
“This death sentence is not surprising. It had to be.”
Julius Rosenberg

A lithograph of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg made and signed by Pablo Piccaso in 1952.

March 29 2025 — On this day in 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of espionage for their role in passing atomic secrets to the Soviets during and after World War II. On Friday June 19, 1953 at 8 pm, Julius Rosenberg was strapped into the electric chair and died after the first jolt. Ethel proved a bit harder to kill. Her heart was still beating after three shocks.  Two more needed to be applied to finally end her life. At that point, witnesses saw a puff of smoke escape from her skull.

Ethel became the first woman executed by the U.S. government since Mary Surratt was hanged in 1865 for her alleged role in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Declassified documents cast doubt on whether Ethel was guilty as charged. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today
