On This Day — The Crash of Swissair Flight 111 & The Mystery of the Lost Picasso (September 2 1998)

“There was sufficient grounds to suspect a criminal device on that plane. I am convinced that the investigation was improperly done.”

Retired RCMP sergeant Tom Juby — Arson investigator assigned to the Swissair file

“RCMP, DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) and the Coast Guard conducted patrols of the area to maintain security of the scene. If someone tried to enter the area, they could have been charged with obstruction under the Criminal Code, or perhaps other offences under the various federal acts that might apply. Once the restrictions were lifted, the RCMP would not be aware of people going to the area to search for valuables, as it would not have been an offence or a police matter. This continues to be the case.”

Nova Scotia RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Jennifer Clarke

“There was a lot of talk about it after the crash, that there had been all these valuables on board. That was a big deal. Somewhere down at the bottom of the ocean, theoretically, are those diamonds.”

Stephen Kimber — Author of the book Flight 111: A Year in the Life of a Tragedy.

“Usually those kind of paintings are sent in some kind of wooden construction that is really not a shock-proof container. We don’t know for sure but we assume that because of the heavy impact it was probably destroyed.”

Urs Peter Naef — a spokesperson for Swissair

“Le Peintre” (The Painter), by famed artist Pablo Picasso, was lost in the crash of Swissair Flight 111 off Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on Sep 2, 1998.

On September 2 1998, Swissair Flight 111 hit the water off the hamlet of Peggy’s Cove (Nova Scotia)  killing all 229 passengers and crew on board instantly.  According to the plane’s manifest, Flight 111 was also transporting a diamond from a Nature of Diamonds exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, one kilogram of other diamonds, about 4.5 kilograms of other jewellery, 49 kilograms of cash, and a multimillion-dollar version of Picasso’s Le Peintre. None of these was ever recovered. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

Havana Syndrome — UCSD Researcher Links Diplomats’ Mystery Illness to Microwave Radiation — UPDATE — NYT : “Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers”

“I looked at what’s known about pulsed RF/MW in relation to diplomats’ experiences. Everything fits. The specifics of the varied sounds that the diplomats reported hearing during the apparent inciting episodes, such as chirping, ringing and buzzing, cohere in detail with known properties of so-called ‘microwave hearing,’ also known as the Frey effect. And the symptoms that emerged fit, including the dominance of sleep problems, headaches and cognitive issues, as well as the distinctive prominence of auditory symptoms. Even objective findings reported on brain imaging fit with what has been reported for persons affected by RF/MW radiation.”

” Independent studies over decades have reported biological effects and harms to health from non-ionizing radiation, specifically RF/MW radiation, including via oxidative stress and downstream mechanisms, such as inflammation, autoimmune activation and mitochondrial injury.”

Professor Beatrice Golomb UCSD — August 29 2018

“Whether or not a microwave weapon was the culprit, this stealth technique may be a weapon of the future. I would not be surprised if some military establishment around the world invests or has already been engaged in such a program.”

Professor James Lin — UIC

“My gut is that this has been going on for a while. The NSA has revealed to me in an unclassified setting that a foreign power has used a microwave weapon against people.”

Mark Zaid — Washington DC attorney with a practice focus on National Security Law

Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at UCSD

In October 2017, I suggested than a microwave weapon — and not sonic attacks — may be the cause of the “Havana syndrome”. I am therefore pleased to report that Beatrice Golomb — MD, PhD, professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine — has concluded that reported symptoms and experiences of a “mystery illness” afflicting American and Canadian diplomats in Cuba and China strongly match known effects of pulsed microwave electromagnetic radiation.  UPDATE — On September 1 2018, the NYT posted a long article titled:  “Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers”.

On This Day — Korean Airliner Flight 007 Shot Down (September 1 1983)

“Governments lie. They do it all the time. And, much as we’d like to believe otherwise, the US government is no exception. There were times when we may have believed otherwise. But after Vietnam and Watergate, we know better.”

US Journalist Ted Koppel — “The USS Vincennes: Public War, Secret War.” –  ABC News (July 1st 1992)

“KE-007 was a victim of the cold war. Another casualty, always war’s first, was the Truth. The story of KE-007 will be remembered pretty much the way the Americans told it in 1983 and not the way it really happened.”

Alvin A. Snyder — Warriors of Disinformation

KE007-2

 Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL007) was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City to Seoul. On September 1st 1983, the airliner serving the flight was shot down by a Soviet Su-15 interceptor, near Moneron Island west of Sakhalin in the Sea of Japan.

On This Day — FDR Signs Neutrality Act [August 31 1935]

“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that upon the outbreak or during the progress of war between, or among, two or more foreign states, the president shall proclaim such fact, and it shall thereafter be unlawful to export arms, ammunition, or implements of war from any place in the United States, or possessions of the United States, to any port of such belligerent states, or to any neutral port for transshipment to, or for the use of, a belligerent country.”

Neutrality Act — August. 31, 1935

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”

President Dwight Eisenhower — Farewell Address (January 20, 1961)

FDR signs Neutrality Act — August. 31, 1935

One Year Ago — Dilyana Gaytandzhieva : CIA supplies ISIS & al-Qaeda Terrorists in Iraq and Syria

“Why does [Former CIA Director] Mr. Morell believe a Syrian transitional government will end the civil war when transitional governments in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Libya did nothing to end civil wars in their respective countries?”

Bruce Fein — US Constitutional Lawyer

Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) also carried out their own lengthy investigations which are consistent with Trud News journalist Gaytandzhieva’s findings. Infographic source: Balkan Insight

On This Day — Frederick Forsyth : “I worked for MI6 for More Than 20 Years.” [August 30 2015]

It is 55, 60 years later. There have been memoirs written, highly secret minutes have been published. There’s no East Germany, no Stasi, no KGB, no Soviet Union, so where’s the harm?”

Frederick Forsyth — August 2015

“A journalist should never join the Establishment, no matter how tempting the blandishments. It is our job to hold power to account, not join it. In a world that increasingly obsesses over the gods of power, money, and fame, a journalist and a writer must remain detached, like a bird on a rail, watching, noting, probing, commenting, but never joining. In short, an outsider.”

Frederick Forsyth — The Outsider: My Life in Intrigue  

 “The Jackal was perfectly aware that in 1963 General de Gaulle was not only the President of France; he was also the most closely and skilfully guarded figure in the Western world. To assassinate him, as was later proved, was considerably more difficult than to kill President John F. Kennedy of the United States. Although the English killer did not know it, French security experts who had through American courtesy been given an opportunity to study the precautions taken to guard the life of President Kennedy had returned somewhat disdainful of those precautions as exercised by the American Secret Service. The French experts rejection of the American methods was later justified when in November 1963 John Kennedy was killed in Dallas by a half-crazed and security-slack amateur while Charles de Gaulle lived on, to retire in peace and eventually to die in his own home.”

 Frederick Forsyth — The Day of the Jackal    

The best-selling novelist worked as spy for more than two decades after being recruited by Secret Intelligence Service in 1968

On August 30 2015, Frederick Forsyth — The Day of the Jackal author — revealed he had worked for MI6 for more than 20 years. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
