Sweden — Man Arrested For Spying On Tibetan Refugees [UPDATE II]

Posted on June 16, 2018 by L

“The arrested man is suspected of having, at the request of another country, illegally gathered information about people in the Tibetan community in Sweden. The information has been passed on to intelligence officers working for a foreign power.”

“The offence is considered gross because it was systematic, in progress for a long time and may have caused many people serious harm.”

Mats Ljungqvist — Sweden state prosecutor

Nyima Sherlhokangsar: “We are shocked over this news… we have not suspected anything.”

Sweden has arrested a man suspected of spying on Tibetan refugees for an unnamed foreign power. Update I — The man was paid by China to collect private information on his fellow Tibetans.

Lockerbie — The Eyewitness Evidence Against Megrahi by Pr Elizabeth Loftus

Posted on June 13, 2018 by L

“Al-Megrahi was released from prison in 2009 and sent back to Libya on compassionate grounds because of advancing cancer. Public outrage was sparked. Al-Megrahi lived with his cancer for a few years (…) One cannot help but wonder whether the outrage over his release might be tempered if those angry individuals were to seriously examine the suspicious eyewitness testimony that led to Al-Megrahi’s conviction in the first place. My examination has led me to seriously wonder: Is the Lockerbie bomber still out here?”

Professor Elizabeth F. Loftus — Memory (2013)

Elizabeth F. Loftus is a Distinguished Professor of Social Ecology and Professor of Law and Cognitive Science at University of California, Irvine. Her research has demonstrated that people can be led to develop rich false memories for events that never happened.

These false memories look very much like true ones. Indeed, they can be confidently told, detailed, and expressed with emotion.

Today, I post the conclusions of Professor Loftus’ expert opinion on the testimony of the main witness Tony Gauci against Megrahi at the Lockerbie trial.

And I have a very special gift for the readers of Intel Today! Professor Loftus has kindly agreed to answer your questions regarding her understanding of Tony Gauci’s testimony and statements. Please send me your questions (gosint2016@gmail.com) and I will post her answers as soon as possible.  Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Documentary — The Secret History of ISIS

Posted on June 12, 2018 by L

“The threat from Isis is not over. It will take a different shape and I won’t be surprised if we start to see an alliance between Isis and al-Qaida in different areas in the Middle East. Al-Qaida is thinking in long-term strategy. They’re building alliances. Al-Qaida is stronger today than they were before 9/11. They are focusing locally, but even if a small portion of these guys decides to go global again I think we’re going to have a big problem.”

Ali Soufan — Former FBI agent (June 2018)

“The speech supposedly had been prepared in the White House and the NSC. But when we were given what had been prepared, it was totally inadequate, and we couldn’t track anything in it. And when I asked Condi Rice, the national security adviser, ‘Where did this come from?’, it turns out the vice president’s office had written it.”

Colin Powell — Secretary of State (2001-2005)

Former VP of the EU Commission : “US holding EU hostage over Iran”

Posted on June 11, 2018 by L

“We in Europe shouldn’t make the mistake to believe that the presidency of Donald Trump is just a short-living mistake. I’m afraid that Trump is representing America much more than Obama represented America. And we should be aware that this policy will probably continue. I mean, the America First policy.”

“What we can see is that this deal is clearly in jeopardy, and with the deal the whole system of non-proliferation is in jeopardy, not only in the Middle East but everywhere. It might change the whole security pattern of the world, it’s a very serious situation.”

Guenter Verheugen — Former vice-president of the European Commission

The American withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal is causing a headache for the European guarantors of the Treaty. For instance, the US is threatening German firms that made large investments in Iran. How will Berlin — and the rest of the EU — deal with this threat? Guenter Verheugen — a former vice-president of the European Commission — offers a ‘realpolitik’ assessment of the situation. The former VP believes that the US is holding EU countries hostage over Iran. He also suggests that this hostage policy will be successful. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Former CIA Valerie Plame : “Scooter Libby Pardon Is Not About Me”

Posted on June 9, 2018 by L

“It has nothing to do with Libby, and it has nothing to do with me. Libby’s problem was with the Justice Department. He was indicted, tried and convicted on obstruction of justice and perjury charges for basically violating the national security of the United States of America. Now he’s being pardoned for it, which suggests of course that Mr. Trump is willing to allow people to violate the essence of our defense structure, our national security, our intelligence apparatus and essentially get away with it.”

Former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson

“The President’s ad hoc use of the pardon power is concerning enough. But the possibility that he may also be sending a message to witnesses in a criminal investigation into his campaign is extremely dangerous. In the United States of America, no one is above the law.”

US Senator Mark Warner (May 31 2018)

Ambassador Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame arrive at the premier of Fair Game in LA in 2010

When Valerie Plame Wilson reported that her husband had found no evidence of the sale of uranium from Niger to Iraq, it marked the first event in the protracted and well-documented saga that led to the illegal release of Valerie Plame-Wilson’s classified identity by former State Department official Richard Armitage and the conviction of former Vice President Chief of Staff Scooter Libby. And now, out of the blue, President Trump has decided to pardon Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Why? Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →
