“Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.”
Vladimir Putin
When everything seems to be out of control in our society, we certainly can all use a good laugh. Putin is certainly a “Badass” President but he also can be quite funny when he wants to be. However, when it comes to tell a geopolitical joke, Reagan’s skill is unmatched. Enjoy these few ones and have a great weekend! Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“The fact that the Dutch Intelligence Services participated with the CIA in these operations is now clear to me. But why? I cannot answer that question yet.”

“Governments lie. They do it all the time. And, much as we’d like to believe otherwise, the US government is no exception. There were times when we may have believed otherwise. But after Vietnam and Watergate, we know better.”
US Journalist Ted Koppel — “The USS Vincennes: Public War, Secret War.” – July 1st 1992 — ABC News
“The moral of the story [Korean Airliner Flight 007] is that all governments, including our own, lie when it suits their purposes. The key is to lie first. (…) The story of KE-007 will be remembered pretty much the way the Americans told it in 1983 and not the way it really happened.”
Alvin A. Snyder — Warriors of Disinformation
Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL007) was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City to Seoul. On September 1, 1983, the airliner serving the flight was shot down by a Soviet Su-15 interceptor, near Moneron Island west of Sakhalin in the Sea of Japan. The interceptor’s pilot was Major Gennadi Osipovich. All 269 passengers and crew aboard were killed. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading

“In-Q-Tel provides only limited information about its investments, and some of its trustees have ties to funded companies.”
Wall Street Journal – 30 August 2016
Former CIA Director George Tenet – Father of a CIA-funded venture-capital firm: the In-Q-Tel Project

“Why does [Former CIA Director] Mr. Morell believe a Syrian transitional government will end the civil war when transitional governments in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Libya did nothing to end civil wars in their respective countries?”
Bruce Fein — US Constitutional Lawyer
Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) also carried out their own lengthy investigations which are consistent with Trud News journalist Gaytandzhieva’s findings. Infographic source: Balkan Insight
Today, the US Army is battling “Syrian rebels” once — and perhaps still — armed by the CIA. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“If Mr. Morell is the best the CIA has to offer, the agency should be replaced with a subscription to The New York Times at a savings of approximately $15 billion annually.”
Bruce Fein — US Constitutional Lawyer
“This is more like an alarming job application by Morell. He would love to have a senior position in any Clinton’s administration — if she were to be elected — and so he is saying what he thinks she would like to hear about how America should deal with the situation in the Middle East.”
Annie Machon — Former MI5 Officer
Michael Morell, former deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, appeared on the “Charlie Rose Show” recently with a “Strategic Plan” to end Syria’s civil war. Follow us on Twitter:@INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“To what extent can a democracy lie to its citizens and still, in the end, remain a democracy?”
Errol Morris — Statement about “Wormwood”
Wormwood is based on a true story and explores the mysterious death of Cold War-era military scientist Frank Olson (played by Sarsgaard) and his son’s tireless efforts to uncover the truth. In 1953, Frank Olson was recruited to be part of a secret biological warfare program cryptically referred to as Project MKUltra. The miniseries is blending long-form documentary interview with a dramatic reconstruction of pivotal scenes.

Wormwood, told in six parts, deals with CIA mind-control experiments in the 1950s and the infamous death of Major Frank Olson. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“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
Former CIA Robert Baer
The so-called “28 pages” report suggests a much larger web of connections between al-Qaida and the Saudi royal family than had previously been known. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading
“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.
