“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.”
“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.”

“Any Norwegian citizen with a brain needs to know, that if Norway is buying the F-35, then someone — politician or bureaucrat — has been bribed to make that possible. Okay!”

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
On Thursday (October 25 2018), the Belgian government approved the purchase of 34 F-35 Lightning II combat planes, produced by the American group Lockheed Martin, for a total of €3.8 billion. Why would any NATO Defense Force purchase the Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike fighter — aka “The Flying Turd” — at a meager cost of $110 million each?

“There is a wonderful book that you might read… And the title of it is from a quote from Winston Churchill: ‘In time of war, the truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.’”
U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz (October 3 1986)
“[The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee Fifth Report is] an ill-informed, amateurish attempt to establish that there should be an official version of news… And that we should all believe that version without question. I think the report and response are silly attempts to restore popular faith in the BBC, the MSM and UK government information, but I think it is too late for that.”
Paul Feeney — Independent researcher in politics and terrorism(Email to Intel Today – October 26 2018)
Over the past few years there’s been a lot of talk in the media about “Fake News” and “Disinformation”. But what is “Disinformation” exactly? How is it defined? Well, the UK government has just provided its own definition. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAYContinue reading →
“Following the arrest of Dalkamoni and others […], it is possible to conclude that at least the core of the cell structure has been removed. It is not possible to say that all persons involved in the terrorist activities had been arrested.”
Germany — BKA Report (October 1988)
“Marwan khreesat and I had the first room on the right as you you come in the front door of Abassi flat and used it for work room for preparing the electronic appliances. Under my supervision and responsibility, Khreesat modified into bombs one Toshiba radio recorder, two tuners and one screen.”

“Having considered the evidence concerning these matters and the submission of counsel we accept that there is a great deal of suspicion as to the actings of Abu Talb and his circle, but there is no evidence to indicate that they had either the means or the intention to destroy a civil aircraft in December 1988.”
The Lockerbie Verdict, § 81
On this date in 1988, the German police arrested seventeen men at Neuss in operation “Autumn Leaves” (Herbstlaub). The bomb-maker of this terrorist cell had prepared several IEDs, including one hidden inside a Toshiba radio-cassette, which has never been recovered.
Some journalists — such as the late Private Eye’s Paul Foot — and several PA 103 relatives — including Dr Jim Swire — believe that it is too stark a coincidence for a Toshiba cassette radio IED to have downed Pan Am 103 just eight weeks after the arrest of the PFLP-GC cell in Frankfurt.
Here is a timeline of this operation which I compiled ten years ago to mark the 20th anniversary of the Lockerbie tragedy. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAYContinue reading →
“They assured me they will conduct a complete, thorough investigation of all of the facts surrounding Mr. Khashoggi and will do so in a timely fashion. And that his report itself will be transparent.I told President Trump this morning that we ought to give them a few more days to complete that.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
“Do this (torturing Khashoggi) outside; you’re going to get me in trouble.”
Saudi consul general Mohammed al-Otaibi — (As reportedly heard on the audio)
“It certainly sounds like they have in their possession sensitive collection from a Saudi diplomatic facility on their territory. To put it bluntly, they were spying on the Saudi consulate, and doing so quite effectively. It puts the Turks in a tough situation.”
Ned Price — former Central Intelligence Agency analyst and a National Security Council staffer
“If CIA Director (and documented torturer) Gina Haspel is being sent to Istanbul, it’s not to help the Turkish government with its investigation into the killing of Khashoggi. It’s to deliver a message very privately to Erdogan.”

October 25 2018 — CIA Director Gina Haspel has travelled to Turkey in order to investigate the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Reuters reported that Haspel has sought to hear a purported audio recording of his torture and murder. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_TodayContinue reading →

“Neruda is the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language”
Gabriel García Márquez — Nobel Prize in Literature 1982
“A poet closer to death than to philosophy, closer to pain than to insight, closer to blood than to ink. A poet filled with mysterious voices that fortunately he himself does not know how to decipher.”
Federico García Lorca –Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director ( 5 June 1898 – 19 August 1936) [quoted by Rene de Costa in “The Poetry of Pablo Neruda”]
“And you’ll ask: why doesn’t his poetry
speak of dreams and leaves
and the great volcanoes of his native land?
Come and see the blood in the streets.”
Pablo Neruda — I explain a few things
Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto (12 July 1904 – 23 September 1973), better known by his pen name and, later, legal name Pablo Neruda was a Chilean poet-diplomat and politician. On October 21 2018, The SpyMuseum tweeted: “Today in #SpyHistory – The Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to former KGB agent and Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, 1971.” Really?

“Without PT/35(b), there would have been no indictment.”
Richard Marquise — FBI Agent who led the US side of the Lockerbie investigation
“The Lockerbie trial is the most disgraceful miscarriage of justice in Scotland for 100 years. Every lawyer who has read the judgment says ‘this is nonsense’. It is nonsense.”
Robert Black QC FRSE – Professor Emeritus of Scots Law in the University of Edinburgh and best known as the “Architect of the Lockerbie Trial”
“I regard the Lockerbie verdict against Megrahi as a ‘Grand Monument to Human Stupidity’. Indeed, the written opinion of the Lockerbie judges is a remarkable document that claims an ‘honoured place in the history of British miscarriages of justice.’ If the SCCRC Commission accepts the application for a full review, the infamous Zeist verdict doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of surviving.”
INTEL TODAY — July 5 2017
PT/35(b) is a small fragment of a circuit timer that was allegedly found among the debris of Pan Am 103 near the town of Lockerbie.
After many years of studies, I have come to the conclusion that PT/35(b) is a forgery that was planted among the debris to implicate Libya in the bombing of Pan Am 103 and to steer the investigation away from the original suspects.
Perhaps you are not familiar with the Lockerbie case or your memory may be a bit fuzzy about this extraordinary affair that began three decades ago. Therefore, before discussing the properties of PT/35(b) and what it implies for the case, I have written a summary of the Lockerbie investigation and trial which you might find useful.
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.

“Though he never said so explicitly, he [President Ronald Reagan] ended America’s military commitment to a strategic mistake that was peripheral to America’s interests. Three-and-a-half months after the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. military personnel — and after repeatedly pledging not to do so — Reagan ordered the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Lebanon.”
Foreign Policy
“Beirut wasn’t sensible and it never did serve a purpose. It was goofy from the beginning.”
General Colin Powell
The Beirut barracks bombings were terrorist attacks that occurred on October 23, 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon, during the Lebanese Civil War when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF)—killing 241 U.S. and 58 French servicemen, six civilians, and the two suicide bombers.
