Ten Years Ago — Dr David Fieldhouse and Lockerbie

“The presence of the team on Flight 103 is a clue that should not be ignored. It’s like the loose thread of a sweater. Pull on it, and the whole thing may unravel. The Mossad knew about it and didn’t give proper warning. The CIA knew about it and screwed up.”

Victor Marchetti — Former executive assistant to the CIA’s Deputy Director

“The presence of Mr McKee on PA103, along with certain others, appears to have been the focus of high level discussions between Senior Police, Security Service and American officials. It is clear that the American authorities were keen to recover any items that may have belonged to McKee in particular, which could be linked to their duties. It may well have been the case that certain items were not recorded in the normal manner to protect American interests …”

D&G letter dated 4 December 2006 — (JIG File X)

“In these circumstances the Commission believes not only that there may have been a miscarriage of justice in the applicant’s case, but also that it is in the interests of justice to refer the case to the High Court. The Commission accordingly does so.”

SCCRC 2007 Statement of Reasons — Final Conclusion

Major Charles – Chuck – Dennis McKee (December 3, 1948 – December 21, 1988) was an intelligence officer with the Defense Intelligence Agency stationed in Beirut, Lebanon. Chuck — also known as “Tiny” because of his height and bulk, 6’5″ and 270 pounds — spent the last ten years of an eighteen-year military career abroad. He was the recipient of numerous military merit awards including the Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and the Overseas Service Medal.

Last week (May 3 2018), Gerard Sinclair — the chief executive of the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) — announced that the SCCRC will review the case of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only man ever convicted for the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. On May 7 2008, I posted the ‘strange story of Dr David Fieldhouse’. I believe that the story is still worth reading today. Follow us on twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Book Review — An Inconvenient Death: How the Establishment Covered Up the David Kelly Affair

“Some people are natural conspiracy theorists. I’m not. Maybe this is a weakness — an indication of a readiness to accept the official version of events and not to see evil plots lurking in the background. But after reading Miles Goslett’s masterful book about the supposed suicide of the weapons expert Dr David Kelly in 2003, I am more persuaded than ever that the authorities have not told us the whole truth about this tragic case.”

Stephen Glover — April 28 2018

“We have lots of evidence … No coroner in the land would reach a verdict of suicide as Lord Hutton did.”

Dr Stephen Frost

The death of Dr David Kelly in 2003 is one of the strangest events in recent British history. This scrupulous scientist — an expert on weapons of mass destruction — was caught up in the rush to war in Iraq. He felt under pressure from those around Tony Blair to provide evidence that Saddam Hussein was producing weapons of mass destruction. Dr Kelly seemed to have tipped into sudden depression when he was outed as a source for Andrew Gilligan. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Parody — Michael Cohen Wiretap Cold Open (SNL)

“I know you don’t believe in climate change but a storm’s a coming baby.”

“Guys can we please just decide on one lie and stick to it because our stories are all over the place.”

Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller)

May 5 2018 – Saturday Night Live — With the FBI listening in, Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller) fields calls from Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin), Rudy Giuliani (Kate McKinnon), Melania Trump (Cecily Strong), Ivanka Trump (Scarlett Johansson), Jared Kushner (Jimmy Fallon) and Stormy Daniels.

“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.”

Trump Aides Hired Israeli Spooks

“The idea was that people acting for Trump would discredit those who were pivotal in selling the [Iran nuclear] deal, making it easier to pull out of it.”

Unnamed source

“These are extraordinary and appalling allegations but which also illustrate a high level of desperation by Trump and [the Israeli prime minister] Benjamin Netanyahu, not so much to discredit the deal but to undermine those around it.”

Jack Straw — Former UK foreign secretary

Last May, Trump aides made contact with a private Israeli intelligence firm to dig ‘dirt’ on former Obama administration officials and journalists who supported the nuclear deal with Iran. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Salisbury Incident — OPCW Corrects Own Director Over Novichok

“That quantity – a range from slightly less than a quarter-cup to a half-cup of liquid – is significantly larger than the amount that would be created in a laboratory for research purposes, meaning that it was almost certainly created for use as a weapon.”

Ahmet Üzümcü —  Head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)

Ahmet Üzümcü —  the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) — told New York Times journalists that as much as 50-100 grams of liquid nerve agent was used in the attack on the former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal — and his daughter Yulia — in Salisbury. This false information was gullibly reported by the MSM until corrected by the OPCW! Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

CIA Director Nominee — Gina Haspel and the ‘Black Site’ in Thailand (UPDATE : Udon Thani Site Officially Identified)

“Many experts believe it was situated at a former U.S. intelligence post in the remote northeastern province of Udon Thani. Some say it was at an air base southeast of Bangkok that U.S. forces have used as a refueling hub for flights into Afghanistan. Still others point to a section of Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport controlled by the Thai air force.”

Los Angeles Times — April 22 2018

“The Thai and English language press continue to highlight the story. Of greatest concern, one newspaper reported that the secret facility was housed on the grounds of the VOA facility in Udon Thani, in northeastern Thailand.”

US State Department cable — November 4 2005

“The decision was reached without input from the National Security Council at the White House, the State Department, the US ambassador in Thailand or even the CIA’s station chief in that country.”

Greg Miller and Adam Goldman –National Security Correspondents for The Washington Post (2004)

“The CIA’s use of its enhanced interrogation techniques was not an effective means of acquiring intelligence or gaining cooperation from detainees.”

 US Senate Intelligence Committee report (2014)

Udon Thani was the Asian Headquarters for Air America an American passenger and cargo airline covertly owned and operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It supplied and supported covert operations in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War

April 30 2018 — Thailand was home to the agency’s first secret prison, or “black site,” after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Even the prison’s location — code-named Detention Site Green — remains cloaked in mystery. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Lockerbie — Megrahi Conviction to be Reviewed by the SCCRC

“The (SCCRC) commission has decided that it is in the interests of justice to accept the current application for a full review of his conviction.”

SCCRC chief executive Gerard Sinclair — May 3 2018

“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
