One Year Ago — “28 Pages” – Former CIA Robert Baer: “We Deserve The Truth”

“There was an awful lot of participation by Saudi individuals in supporting the hijackers, and some of those people worked in the Saudi government. Our report should never have been read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia.”

John F. Lehman — Republican member of the 9/11 commission

Facebook & the CIA [Parody]

“Every time you go to a party and take a picture and post that picture to Facebook, you’re being a rat.”

 Julian Assange — WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says Facebook, Google, and Yahoo are actually tools for the U.S. intelligence community. Is he paranoid? This issue is serious, deadly serious. But today, I feel like we need a little break.. When everything seems to be out of control in our society, we certainly can all use a good laugh. PS: Many thanks to my friend “Z” who told me about this really excellent parody of the CIA-Facebook collaboration. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

One Year Ago — Turkey Coup: “CIA Plotters’ Meeting” in Büyükada

“Sixteen foreigners entered Büyükada Island just before the coup in a clandestine manner and booked hotel rooms on the island, but they left the island immediately as the coup failed.

This covert group was led by Henri Barkey, an expert on Turkey’s affairs and former CIA agent. The primary feature of this undercover group was to analyze and acquire knowledge on the matters surrounding Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Egypt.

The members of this secret group did everything to avoid surveillance cameras on the island. Right after the abortive coup, some of the members left the island on July 15th and the rest on July 17th.”

One Year Ago — Prison Officials Respond to CIA Whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling’s Health Complaint

“Stirling grew up really feeling that he was going to make it out of the situation that is so often consigned to poor, black Americans, and so he really was resolute, from everything I understand, that he wasn’t going to end up behind bars, he wasn’t going to use drugs, he wasn’t going to break the law. My impression is that he’s stunned. In a sense, his worst case scenario, that he had dedicated his life to be in the opposite situation of, has come to pass, in that he’s a black man in a federal prison.”

The KRYPTOS Sculpture — SECTION I : A KEYED Vigenère Cipher [And why the CIA lies so much about it?] — UPDATE

“I have developed much too thick a skin to be surprised, let alone upset, by people telling me how that great CIA tells us the truth. If an organisation accustomed to lying tells you it is telling the truth, where does that leave you?”

Dr Jim Swire — Father of Flora (1965 – December 21 1988)

Letter to INTEL TODAY

It is my opinion that this narrative can simply not be trusted for multiple reasons. Allow me to explain why. The reader will draw his/her own conclusions. PS: This post will soon be updated to explain carefully several technical points. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

One Year Ago — UK: Bulk Spying Powers Backed by Independent Reviewer

“Mr Anderson’s report demonstrates how the bulk powers contained in the Investigatory Powers Bill are of crucial importance to our security and intelligence agencies. These powers often provide the only means by which our agencies are able to protect the British public from the most serious threats that we face.”

Prime Minister Theresa May

“The UK now has a surveillance law that is more suited to a dictatorship than a democracy. The state has unprecedented powers to monitor and analyse UK citizens’ communications regardless of whether we are suspected of any criminal activity.”

CIA Dr Richards J. Heuer: “Information Collection vs Analytical Methods”

“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

Accurate intelligence judgments do not solely rely on the abundance and accuracy of the information. Indeed it has long been known that rigorous analysis of the information is at least as important as the gathered material in order to reach accurate intelligence estimates.
