“What we do know is that government officials decided not to inform a lawfully constituted body, created by Congress and the president, to investigate one of the greatest tragedies to confront this country. We call that obstruction.”

Why was the Central Intelligence Report, drafted by FBI Special Agent Douglas J. Miller, which contained information about the “Terror Summit” in Kuala Lumpur (January 2000) suppressed and not sent to the FBI? And why was Mark Rossini told to shut up about it?

This post was published on July 6 2017. The two key questions raised by former special agent Mark Rossini are still waiting for an answer…

WORMWOOD — Seymour Hersh : “Frank Olson was a man profoundly distressed about what he was learning… And he was dangerous.”

Posted on January 5, 2018 by L

“Morris makes a persuasive case that there’s sinister stuff to be unraveled here, and that the CIA is the only organization that can shed light on its former actions. As Harry Huge, one of the Olson family lawyers, notes in a blithely shocking observation, one of the biggest injustices in the U.S. is that you can only sue the government for negligent death, not murder. Frank Olson’s death is clearly just one piece of a puzzle that stretches much, much further into the murkiness of history.”

Wormwood: Obsession, Lies, and a CIA Coverup — The Atlantic

“But don’t you know how wonderful it is to not have an ending? I think you’re really wrong to want this pretty little thing bowed up and tied. It’s wonderful to not have an ending, it is. (…) It is a terrible story.”

American Journalist Seymour Hersh

“Hersh is right about one thing: The [Frank] Olson case is a ‘win’ for the CIA, because they didn’t want to tell anyone what happened, and now they won’t have to. But they can’t stop Eric [Olson] from spiraling ever downward in his quest. After a certain point, obsession becomes the drug.”

Wormwood Finale Recap: Remember Me — Andrew Lapin

In a fascinating interview of  Seymour Hersh by Errol Morris for the WORMWOOD series, the legendary American journalist suggests that the US Army bio-weapons expert was almost certainly executed by the CIA with the US government approval because he was about to reveal a very damaging state secret. But Hersh refuses to go any further in his explanations because — he claims — it would put his source in jeopardy. Still, if you read carefully his answers and comments, you should be able to make a pretty good “guesstimate” about what happened and why. The assassination of Frank Olson is probably not an isolated case. Sy Hersh even suggests that there may have been a “mechanism” to eliminate dissidents such Dr Frank Olson. And the great journalist may very well be right about this. PS: Many thanks to my friend Craig Murray for his help with the writing of this post.

Was The Lockerbie Key Evidence Antedated?

Posted on January 3, 2018 by L

Q   — Well, I understood you to tell us that these were contemporaneous notes that you prepared as you were carrying out your examinations; is that right?

A   — Yes.  But presumably our definitions of “contemporaneous” are different.

Testimony of Dr Hayes at the Lockerbie trial, Page 2592.

“As an afterthought I think that had the original Scottish Police Investigators obeyed their political masters by introducing the fragment into the chain of evidence in or around December 1989 then they may have got away with the deception but due to the fact that they chose to alter Forensic notes and photographs and change production labels and attribute Memos in relation to other pieces of evidence to PT/35(b) it was fairly easy to pick holes in their case.”

Lockerbie Investigator George Thomson

The discovery of a tiny fragment of a Swiss timer played an essential role in the Lockerbie investigation. In fact, according to Richard Marquise — the FBI agent who led the US part of the investigation — an indictment would have been impossible without that piece of evidence. Lockerbie investigator George Thomson has concluded that this piece of evidence — known as PT/35(b) — was not discovered in May 1989 as officially stated but in fact surfaced in the fall of 1989. Why would anyone antedate a genuine piece of evidence? Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Fake News in Academia — How to Discredit a Major Discovery

Posted on January 2, 2018 by L

“I see no basis for such statements. They followed standard operating procedures. So, if the basic NTP methodology is flawed you have to throw out all the NTP studies. The controls are handled the same way as the exposed. This sounds like some conspiracy theory.”

 Ron Melnick —  Former NTP study Director

“It is disconcerting that a few scientists are trying to dismiss this study which is considered the strongest toxicology study ever conducted on cell phone radiation and cancer.”

Joel Moskowitz — University of California School of Public Health in Berkeley

“I have read all the reviews and never found a hint that the slides were read unblinded.”

Michael Kundi — Head of the Vienna University’s Institute of Environmental Health.

Maria Feychting

Last year, the National Toxicology Program announced that cell phone radiation increased the incidence of tumors in the brain and heart of male rats. Now, Maria Feychting — a professor at the Karolinska Institute and the vice chair of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) — is casting doubt on the landmark $25 million NTP RF animal study in a talk presented at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the institute that awards the Nobel prizes. Shame on her. She is simply lying! Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_Today Continue reading →

TOP INTEL TODAY 2017 STORIES — #10 : Inside the Intrigue of ‘Russia’s Cyberattacks’

Posted on January 1, 2018 by L

“Looks like Sergey [Mikhailov] and Ruslan [Ruslan Stoyanov] were looking for various “scapegoats” who were easy to track down and who had a lot of criminal evidence collected against them, and then reported them to iDefence through Kimberly [Zenz]. This was done so that iDefence could get some publicity for themselves by turning this into a global news story. Then the matter was reported by US intelligence to Russia, and then got on Sergey’s desk who made a big deal out of it and then solved the case brilliantly gaining favors with his bosses. iDefence at the same time was getting huge grants to fight russian cyberthreats.”

Fake News — The Sneakiest Attack of 2017

Posted on December 31, 2017 by L

“Meteorological evidence was led for the period 7/8 December and 23/24 November.

The latter period had light intermittent rain at Luqa airport and the weather in Sliema, where Gauccis shop was located was very likely to have been the same.

On 7th December there had been a trace of rain at Luqa airport at 9 am, but no rain was recorded later that day”

He was asked if there was any likelihood of rain there between six and seven in the evening. His response was that it was 90% that there wouldn’t have been”.
