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)

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

In a decade-long campaign to change the course of world history through extreme acts of violence, ISIS has been called the most dangerous terrorist group in history. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

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 →

Posted on June 8, 2018 by L

Felix Sater (November 2015 email)

“Trump was trying to build his brand and Bayrock was trying to market it. It wasn’t clear who needed each other more. This was before the show, remember.”

Jody Kriss — Bayrock Insider

“I think Donald is going to be re-elected. And after his second term, then we’ll do Trump Tower Moscow.”

Felix Sater (June 2018)

Remembering the U.S.S. Liberty — June 8 1967 [2018]

Posted on June 8, 2018 by L

“There has been a lot of media coverage mostly written by Israelis or American Jews regarding Israel’s ‘victory’ fifty years ago during the so-called Six Days War directed against its Arab neighbors but I have yet to see an account that mentions the fate of the U.S.S. Liberty. Nevertheless, the Liberty is not forgotten.”

Former CIA Analyst Philip Giraldi (June 2017)

“I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my shipmates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”

USS Liberty Survivors’ Creed

June 8 2018 — The attack on the U.S.S. Liberty by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats on June 8 1967, has almost faded from memory, with a younger generation completely unaware that a United States naval vessel was once deliberately targeted and nearly sunk by America’s “greatest friend and ally” Israel.   I take this opportunity to remind you that a USS Liberty survivor is asking for your help in locating a document.

Remembering Alan Turing [23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954]

Posted on June 7, 2018 by L

“I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.”

Alan Turing

“I would not like the journey [to the United States], and I detest America.”

Alan Turing (1953) — Response to a conference invitation

“A new inquiry is long overdue, even if only to dispel any doubts about the true cause of his death—including speculation that he was murdered by the security services (or others). I think murder by state agents is unlikely. There is no known evidence pointing to any such act. However, it is a major failing that this possibility has never been considered or investigated.”

 Peter Tatchell — Human Rights advocate

June 7 2018 — Alan Turing was a mathematician, cryptographer and pioneer of computer science who possessed one of the greatest brains of the 20th century. His life was one of secret triumphs shadowed by public tragedy. It has been estimated that his work shortened the war in Europe by more than two years and saved over fourteen million lives.

Fred Burton & The Lockerbie Case

Posted on June 6, 2018 by L

“There is no concrete indication that any piece of luggage was unloaded from Air Malta 180, sent through the luggage routing system at Frankfurt airport, and then loaded on board Pan Am 103.”

FBI Briefing Paper

“I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”

Richard Feynman — Physics Nobel Prize 1962

In his best-seller book ‘Ghost’, Mr Fred Burton — Stratfor Vice President of Intelligence — makes a truly extraordinary statement regarding the Lockerbie Case. If true, Burton’s allegation totally destroys the credibility of the ‘official story’ as narrated by FBI Richard Marquise, who led the US side of the Lockerbie investigation. But, and this is amazing, it also gives the boot to the ‘alternative theory’ promoted by many, including former CIA officer Robert Baer. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

One Year Ago — Paris Attacks : Belgium Formally Charges Yassine Atar

Posted on June 5, 2018 by L

“Over the past year, according to police documents, the police have been piecing together Mr. [Yassine] Atar’s role in the network. He is a cousin of the brothers Ibrahim and Khalid el-Bakraoui, who on March 22, 2016, carried out the Brussels attacks by setting off suicide bombs at an airport and in a subway station. (…) The Belgian authorities suspect that a brother of Mr. Atar, Oussama Atar, was a leader of the Brussels network. Oussama Atar remains at large.”

Milan Schreuer — NYT (June 2 2017)
