One Year Ago — CIA : “Climatological Research as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems”

“For 250 years most of the world suffered major economic and political unrest which could be directly or indirectly attributed to the climate of the neo-boreal era. Another Little Ice Age would cause hundreds of millions of deaths around the world and cause massive social unrest.”

CIA REPORT 1974

“I was horrified by what I found. Global warming really has become a new religion. Because you cannot discuss it. It’s not proper. It is like the Catholic Church.”

Dr Ivar Giaever — 1973 Physics Nobel Prize (2015 Mainau Nobel Conference)

April 22 2017 — A Central Intelligence Agency report from 1974 warned Earth’s “climate is returning to that of the neo-boreal era… an era of drought, famine, and political unrest in the western world.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Salisbury Incident — 101 Questions That Journalists Should be Asking About the Skripal Case

“If there are any journalists with integrity and inquisitive minds still living in this country, I would be grateful if they could begin doing their job and research the answers to these sorts of questions by asking the appropriate people and authorities.”

Rob Slane

“UK senior civil servants — both in the FCO and Home Office — remain sceptical of the Kremlin guilt in the Skripal case. Indeed, cui bono fuisset?”

Intel Today (April 19 2018)

British journalist Rob Slane has compiled four lists of questions regarding the Salisbury incident. With his kind permission, I repost these questions on this blog. Perhaps, we can pull “a Pompeo”? Just kidding… (In the aftermath of the Khan Shaykhun tragedy, the CIA Director claims that he assembled a ‘crack team’ of 200 experts and solved the case in 24 hours.)

While Theresa May has blamed the Kremlin for the attack, others — including Alex Salmond and Jeremy Corbyn — have called for the UK Government to provide some evidence that Vladimir Putin’s regime is behind the poisoning of the Skripals. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

One Year Ago — US to seek No-Fly Zone West of the Euphrates

“I see almost nothing positive that can come from implementing a no-fly zone at the current time over Syria. Conversely, the potential to make a bad situation worse is very, very high.”

John Kuehn — Professor of military history at the US Army Command and General Staff College

“A no-fly zone is currently being discussed in the Pentagon. A no-fly zone would be toe-to-toe with the Russkies to see who would blink first.”

Former CIA Analyst Phil Giraldi

Philip Giraldi — Former CIA Analyst

April 2017 — There are “rumours” that the U.S. wants to establish a no-fly zone in Syria. A trusted source told us that this is quite a bit more serious than just “rumours”. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Studies in Intelligence — “To Resist Disinformation, Learn to Think Like an Intelligence Analyst”

“Do You Really Need More Information? The US Intelligence Community invests heavily in improved intelligence collection systems while managers of analysis lament the comparatively small sums devoted to enhancing analytical resources, improving analytical methods, or gaining better understanding of the cognitive processes involved in making analytical judgments.”

Psychology of Intelligence Analysis — Richards J. Heuer

“They should think about how they make judgments and reach conclusions, not just about the judgments and conclusions themselves.” Dr. Richards J. Heuer

Preston Golson, currently chief of communications for CIA’s Directorate of Digital Innovation, and Matthew F. Ferraro, who previously worked in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and CIA, have just published a short but interesting commentary piece regarding “Fake News” in the last issue of “Studies in Intelligence”. In my opinion, the authors raise a very good point. In a world of Fake News, critical thinking matters and should be taught! Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

Tribute to Women Who Have Died

“They devoted their hearts and minds to a mission unlike any other, at an agency unlike any other, serving on the world’s most dangerous frontiers to defend our people, defeat our adversaries, and advance our freedoms.

Roger Waters : “White Helmets Is A Fake Organization That Creates Propaganda for Jihadists and Terrorists”

“The White Helmets is a fake organization that exists only to create propaganda for jihadists and terrorists. That’s my belief. We have opposing beliefs. If we were to listen to the propaganda of the White Helmets and others, we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to start dropping bombs on people in Syria. This would be a mistake of monumental proportions for us as human beings.”

Roger Waters — Singer and activist

“The White Helmets are operating on the ground alongside Al-Qaeda and their allies, and these are just documented facts.”

Journalist Max Blumenthal

“People began to arrive here suffering from hypoxia, oxygen loss. Then someone at the door, a ‘White Helmet’, shouted ‘Gas!’ and a panic began. People started throwing water over each other. Yes, the video was filmed here, it is genuine, but what you see are people suffering from hypoxia – not gas poisoning.”

Syrian Doctor interviewed in Douma by Robert Fisk

“There was not a single occasion in which I ever heard the medics (in Sunni Gaza) shout ‘takbeeror Allahu Akbar’ upon rescuing civilians, much less intentionally stood on dead bodies, posed in staged videos, or any of the other revolting acts that the White Helmets have been filmed doing in Syria. They were too damn busy rescuing or evacuating the areas before another Israeli strike, and usually maintained a focused silence as they worked, communicating only the necessities. The only occasion I recall of screaming while with the medics, were the screams of civilians we collected and in particular the anguished shrieks of a husband helping to put the body parts of his dismembered wife onto a stretcher to be taken to the morgue. The medics I knew in Gaza were true heroes. The White Helmets, not a chance.”

Eva Bartlett — Former volunteer with Palestinian Medics

Robert Fisk is the first western journalist to reach Douma, Syria. He spoke to residents and interviewed a doctor who treated the victims of an incident which occurred on April 7th 2018. The doctor told Fisk that these people did not suffered from a chemical attack.

During a recent concert in Barcelona, Spain on April 13 2018, Roger Waters — co-founder of Pink Floyd — exposed the White Helmets as a multi million dollar funded propaganda construct for terrorist factions inside Syria. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

UK Poll — “Who do you think played the most important role in defeating the Nazis?”

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

George Santayana —  Philosopher, poet and novelist

“In 1945, most French people thought that the Soviet Union deserved the most credit for Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II — even though the Soviets didn’t play much of a role in France’s liberation, relative to the US and Britain. By 1995 and 2004, however, the French had changed their minds, and were crediting the US as the biggest contributor to victory in Europe.”

Vox — June 2014

On 13 Apr 2018, 2565 UK adults were asked that question: “Who do you think played the most important role in defeating the Nazis during World War 2?” Results were weighted to be representative of the GB population. These results are simply baffling. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →

CIA Director Nominee Gina Haspel — CIA Nomination Hanging By A Thread Over Cable

“In the absence of any meaningful declassification of her career, this public campaign on behalf of Ms. Haspel does a great disservice to the American people, who expect and deserve to understand the backgrounds of their government’s leaders. Indeed, the more we review the classified facts, the more disturbed we are, both by the actions she has taken during her career and by the CIA’s failure to allow the public the opportunity to consider them. Under these circumstances, it is impossible for the Senate to properly fulfill its constitutional obligation to ‘advise and consent’ on her nomination.”

U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein, Martin Heinrich and Ron Wyden

An agency email sent to Dusty Foggo on November 10 2005, could very well reveal the true role Gina Haspel played in the destruction of the CIA tapes. According to the official narrative, Haspel was ‘just’ following orders — which were legal under US law at the time — to protect the country in the difficult days that followed the 9/11 attacks. If a non redacted version of this email was declassified, I believe that it could very well shatter her cover story and sink her nomination which, as we learned yesterday, was delayed to next month.

Salisbury Incident — OPCW Officials Rebuke Lavrov Over BZ Claims

“We, as you understand, have abilities to receive confidential information. And as this information concerns questions of life and death, we won’t keep this information secret.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (April 14 2018)

“The labs were able to confirm the identity of the chemical by applying existing, well-established procedures. There was no other chemical that was identified by the labs. The precursor of BZ that is referred to in the public statements, commonly known as 3Q, was contained in the control sample prepared by the OPCW lab in accordance with the existing quality control procedures. Otherwise it has nothing to do with the samples collected by the OPCW team in Salisbury.”

Marc-Michael Blum, the head of the OPCW laboratory (April 18 2018)

“Lucius Cassius ille, quem populus Romanus verissimum et sapientissimum iudicem putabat, identidem in causis quaerere solebat, cui bono fuisset?’ (*)

Cicero — Pro Roscio Amerino

On Saturday (April 14 2018), Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov revealed that a Swiss lab report — dated March 27 2018 — suggests that Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a chemical substance known as BZ (NATO CODE). Yesterday, several OPCW executives refuted the claim. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading →
