CIA Director Mike Pompeo considered to replace Sec. of State Rex Tillerson

“Pompeo, who has defended Trump in the past and speaks with him daily, could seemingly transition smoothly into the role of secretary of state. Pompeo has credibility as a member of Trump’s inner circle and, unlike Tillerson, has a wide variety of government experience.”

CIA Director Mike Pompeo

Suspicious Aviation Tragedies — October 6 1976 : Cubana de Aviacion Flight 455

“Our confidential source ascertained (…) that the bombing of the Cubana Airlines DC-8 was planned, in part, in Caracas, Venezuela, at two meetings attended by Morales Navarrete, Luis Posada Carriles and Frank Castro.”

“A confidential source all but admitted that Posada and [Orlando] Bosch had engineered the bombing of the airline.”

FBI Declassified reports

Luis Clemente Faustino Posada Carriles (born February 15, 1928) — nicknamed Bambi — is a Cuban exile militant and former Central Intelligence Agency agent. Carriles is considered a terrorist by the Government of Cuba, among others; he is widely considered responsible for the bombing of Cubana flight 455, which killed 73 people.He was a long-time member of the Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations described by the FBI as “an anti-Castro terrorist umbrella organization”.

Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 was a Cuban flight from Barbados to Jamaica that was brought down on 6 October 1976 by a terrorist bomb attack. All 73 people on board the Douglas DC-8 aircraft were killed. Several CIA-linked anti-Castro Cuban exiles and members of the Venezuelan secret police DISIP were implicated by the evidence. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

Spy Schools: How the CIA, FBI and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America’s Universities [Book Review]

“Kenneth Moskow is one of a long line of CIA officers who have enrolled undercover at the Kennedy School, generally with Harvard’s knowledge and approval, gaining access to up-and-comers worldwide. For four decades the CIA and Harvard have concealed this practice, which raises larger questions about academic boundaries, the integrity of class discussions and student interactions, and whether an American university has a responsibility to accommodate U.S. intelligence.”

 Daniel Golden —  Investigative journalist

A new book documents how US foreign and domestic intelligence agencies use — and perhaps exploit — higher education and academe for spy operations. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

LOCKERBIE — PT/35(b) : “A RIDDLE, WRAPPED IN A MYSTERY, INSIDE AN ENIGMA.”

“PT/35(b) was extremely, extremely dodgy. It was very, very suspicious. The way it suddenly appeared, embedded in a shirt collar, with the information on the page overwritten and changed, all police procedures were thrown out of the window.”

Rev. John Mosey

“Dr. Hayes seemed to have no real recollection independently of his notes of having found PT/35(b).  The sequence of the PT numbering and the absence from the notes of a drawing of the circuit board are unusual features.  The pagination of the notes was described by Hayes as “an unfathomable mystery” , for which he did propose an explanation, but unfortunately one that does not work. The memorandum of the 15th of September 1989 is difficult to understand if the fragment was indeed found on the 12th of May 1989. PT/35(b) is an important piece of evidence on which the Crown rely and in respect of which it is for the Crown to satisfy the court as to its provenance.  I submit that the irregularities and peculiarities which attend this item are some which the court ought to have some hesitation in being satisfied as to the item’s provenance.”

Lockerbie trial, page 9624.

PI 995 : The collar of a “SLALOM” shirt from which PT/35(b) was allegedly extracted

PT/35(b) is a small fragment of a circuit timer that was allegedly found among the debris of Pan Am 103 near the town of Lockerbie. After many years of studies, I have come to the conclusion that PT/35(b) is a forgery that was planted among the debris to implicate Libya in the bombing of Pan Am 103 and to steer the investigation away from the original suspects.Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

US Spies & the Havana Syndrome

“Until the government of Cuba can ensure safety of our people, we will be reduced to emergency personnel.”

US state department official

“In the more distant future, weapons systems based on new principles  — beam, geophysical, wave, genetic, psychophysical and other technology — will be developed. All this will, in addition to nuclear weapons, provide entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals. Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons but will be more ‘acceptable’ in terms of political and military ideology.”

Vladimir Putin — 2012

This Day in History — “Gadhafi Target of Secret U.S. Deception Plan” [October 2 1986 — Bob Woodward]

There is a wonderful book that you might read… And the title of it is from a quote from Winston Churchill: “In time of war, the truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.”

Secretary of State George P. Shultz — October 3 1986

14 March 1986 — Reagan Strikes on Tripoli and Benghazi

If you read this blog, chances are they you are familiar with the Iran-Contra Affair. At the same time, it is quite likely that you have never heard of a major US scandal that was running parallel to the Iran-Contra Operation. The two operations were in fact two branches of a single policy. If the delivery of weapons to Iran was the “Carrot” part of the plan suggested in the 1985 “Fuller MEMORANDUM“, the disinformation regarding “Libyan terrorism” was the “Stick”.  Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

Jeffrey Sterling — Mark Zaid Responds to Allegations He betrayed His Client

“Because he just formed a new whistleblower group with John Napier Tye, there as been renewed interest in allegations an FBI Agent made during the Jeffrey Sterling case about attorney Mark Zaid. But there was actually a second detail regarding Zaid released just after the trial that has not been publicly reported: Zaid was interviewed by the FBI, twice, and was even interviewed before Sterling himself was.”

Marcy Wheeler aka Emptywheel

“I do know for a fact that nothing I have ever said to the FBI could ever be construed in a way unfavorable to Jeffrey Sterling. (…) This ‘analysis’ is a disservice to Jeff, who continues to proclaim his innocence of doing anything wrong.”

Mark S. Zaid — September 27 2017

Marcy Wheeler — aka “emptywheel” — is an American independent journalist specializing in national security and civil liberties. In a recent post published on her own blog, she suggests that Mark Zaid may have somehow betrayed his former client (ex CIA) Jeffrey Sterling while interviewed by the FBI. [At the time, FBI considered Senate Intelligence Committee staffer Bill Duhnke a more likely suspect than Sterling ] Zaid responded to the allegation. His answer is worth reading carefully which is why I reproduce it here. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

The Los Alamos Primer — An Introduction

“The [Los Alamos] Primer is an extraordinary document. Perusing it gives one a sense of being there at the start of the Los Alamos project. In its 24 pages, Serber both adroitly summarized the state of existing knowledge and laid out a prescient road map for the work ahead and the challenges that might arise.”

Cameron Reed — Professor of physics at Alma College in Michigan

Robert Serber on Tinian in 1945, just before the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The ‘Los Alamos Primer’ is perhaps the most important single document of the 20th Century. Yet, it is a rather simple document that could have been written by many others “elsewhere”, and possibly several years earlier. Thus, the History of this world could have been drastically different. In the next few months, I will discus each section of the document, one at the time. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

Ethos and Profession of Intelligence 2017

“This leads me back to the title of this speech. There is an old saying from the debate over the drawbacks of a closed intelligence culture in the 1960s and 1970s: “When everything is secret – nothing is secret.” The meaning of every concept is in the limitation. A word for everything is a word for nothing specific. Intelligence analysis runs the risk of ending up here. When everything is intelligence – nothing is intelligence.”

Wilhelm Agrell — University of Lund, Sweden

Mike Pompeo, the current Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, will open the 2017 conference.

The Central Intelligence Agency and the George Washington University will co-host CIA’s fourth public conference on national security, “The Ethos and the Profession of Intelligence,” on the GW campus on Wednesday, October 4, 2017. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

Dag Hammarskjöld — The Silence of the Lambs

“There is a significant amount of evidence from eyewitnesses that they observed more than one aircraft in the air, that the other aircraft may have been a jet, that SE-BDY was on fire before it crashed, and/or that SE-BDY was fired upon or otherwise actively engaged by another aircraft. In its totality, this evidence is not easily dismissed.”

Mohamed Chande Othman — Former Tanzanian chief justice (September 2017)

The body of Dag — Notice the playing card in his left hand.

In February 2017, following a recommendation by a UN-appointed three-member expert panel, the UN tasked Mohamed Chande Othman — a former Tanzanian chief justice — to re-investigate the mysterious death of Dag Hammarskjöld. Othman delivered his final report to the UN Secretary General António Guterres in August.

So far, the report has not been made public. However, The Guardian has seen an Executive Summary of the UN REPORT.

In a story based on that summary — published on September 26 2017 — the Report appears to confirm the thesis of an assassination which INTEL TODAY has always regarded as the most likely. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today Continue reading
