The Skripal Case — Going from Weird to Berserk

Posted on August 30, 2018 by L

“That the attack on the Skripals was nonsense is clear to a person with half a brain. But some don’t even have one half, that’s why they believe in this absurdity.”

Roger Waters — (August 27 2018)

“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.’ ”

US Secretary of State George P. Shultz (03/10/1986)

“The issue surrounding the identify [sic] of a former MI6 informer Sergei Skripal is already widely available in the public domain. However, the identifies [sic] of intelligence agency personnel associated with Sergei Skripal are not yet widely available in the public domain.”

UK D-Notice issued on March 7 2018

“I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years and I was educated to lie, to betray and not to tell the truth to the public. The truth will come out one day, the truth won’t die.”

Dr. Udo Ulfkotte — German Journalist and Whistleblower

Woman’s Head — Pablo Picasso (1934)

In matters of espionage and National Security, no one covers the news better than the BBC or the Guardian. Day after day, their “presstitutes” will cover the truth under layers of lies until their readers can no longer tell which way is up. The Lockerbie affair is a case in point. The Skripals’ story is another first-rate example. The official narrative is beginning to look a lot like a Picasso painting from his surrealism period, although without the master’s genius.

Two Years Ago — Former MI5 Annie Machon Discusses Morell’s “Strategy” in Syria

Posted on August 29, 2018 by L

“If Mr. Morell is the best the CIA has to offer, the agency should be replaced with a subscription to The New York Times at a savings of approximately $15 billion annually.”

Bruce Fein — US Constitutional Lawyer

“This is more like an alarming job application by Morell. He would love to have a senior position in any Clinton’s administration — if she were to be elected — and so he is saying what he thinks she would like to hear about how America should deal with the situation in the Middle East.”

Annie Machon — Former MI5 Officer

CIA Deputy Director — A Short Biography of Vaughn Bishop

Posted on August 28, 2018 by L

“I am honored to come home to the CIA to serve with Director Haspel on the leadership team. As a career officer, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. I have tremendous respect for the men and women of the Agency, and I look forward to serving alongside them in pursuit of CIA’s vital mission.”

Vaughn Bishop — August 1 2018

“This place is a very hard place for people to leave. The opportunity to return is both humbling and exciting. CIA has no equal and I’m looking forward to the chance to come back, reconnect, and give back to the organization.”

“Working a crisis has a tremendous power to focus you on the needs of the customer or the people that you serve. It gives you very good insight into the people charged with making policy and decisions and the stresses they face. Crises also teach you the importance of being proactive, not reactive. The worst time to start planning for a crisis is the day after the crisis starts.”

Vaughn Bishop (August 2018)

“Vaughn is a superb choice. I cannot express how pleased I am that he has agreed to return to CIA. He will help empower every Agency officer to advance CIA’s mission in concrete and measurable ways.”

CIA Director Gina Haspel

On This Day — Lord Louis Mountbatten Killed by IRA (August 27 1979)

Posted on August 27, 2018 by L

“The IRA claim responsibility for the execution of Lord Louis Mountbatten. This operation is one of the discriminate ways we can bring to the attention of the English people the continuing occupation of our country. … The death of Mountbatten and the tributes paid to him will be seen in sharp contrast to the apathy of the British government and the English people to the deaths of over three hundred British soldiers, and the deaths of Irish men, women, and children at the hands of their forces.”

IRA Official Statement (August 27 1979)

On August 27 1979, Lord Louis Mountbatten, his grandson Nicholas, and two others were assassinated by a bomb set by members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, hidden aboard his fishing boat in Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Two Years Ago — Turkey Coup: “CIA Plotters’ Meeting” in Büyükada

Posted on August 27, 2018 by L

“Sixteen foreigners entered Büyükada Island just before the coup in a clandestine manner and booked hotel rooms on the island, but they left the island immediately as the coup failed.

This covert group was led by Henri Barkey, an expert on Turkey’s affairs and former CIA agent. The primary feature of this undercover group was to analyze and acquire knowledge on the matters surrounding Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Egypt.

The members of this secret group did everything to avoid surveillance cameras on the island. Right after the abortive coup, some of the members left the island on July 15th and the rest on July 17th.”

CIA Debacle in China — The Search for “PATIENT ZERO”

Posted on August 27, 2018 by L

You could tell the Chinese weren’t guessing. The Ministry of State Security [which handles both foreign intelligence and domestic security] were always pulling in the right people. When things started going bad, they went bad fast.”

Anonymous former US Intelligence Officer (August 2018)

“To give our compromise context, the U.S. communications infrastructure was under siege. Once we understood this compromise several of the mysteries we encountered in our operations came sharply into focus. Our operational interests were known. The damage did not stop with the identification of our humint assets. It was a recipe for disaster. We had a catastrophic failure on our hands that would ensnare a great many of our sources.”

John Reidy — Letter to the CIA Inspector General’s Office (2010)

Between 2010 and 2012, the government of China arrested — and eventually executed — several dozens CIA sources, crippling the Agency’s ability to collect information within the country. How did this happen and why are MSM silent on this story?

Without a doubt, the debacle of the CIA in China is a disaster of epic proportions. I argue that basic epidemiology principles, concepts, and procedures may help to solve this case. It appears that the discovery of a single CIA asset by China Counter-Intelligence exposed the entire network. It is obviously highly important to discover the identity of this individual. Based on the limited information available, I suggest that he may have been the personal  secretary of Lu Zhongwei, the then Vice-Minister of China Ministry of State Security.

Posted on August 26, 2018 by L

Two Years Ago — Prison Officials Respond to CIA Whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling’s Health Complaint

Posted on August 26, 2018 by L

“Stirling grew up really feeling that he was going to make it out of the situation that is so often consigned to poor, black Americans, and so he really was resolute, from everything I understand, that he wasn’t going to end up behind bars, he wasn’t going to use drugs, he wasn’t going to break the law. My impression is that he’s stunned. In a sense, his worst case scenario, that he had dedicated his life to be in the opposite situation of, has come to pass, in that he’s a black man in a federal prison.”
