One Year Ago — TRUMP: “Second Amendment People” Could Stop Clinton!

Posted on August 13, 2017 by L

“If she [Hillary Clinton] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do [about your right to bear arms], folks. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Donald Trump

The Clintons and Trump: They were good friends in those times….

What are we supposed to make of this suggestion? It is a tad cryptic but most understood that Trump was actually suggesting violence against Mrs. Clinton and/or Supreme Court Judges who would oppose the right to bear arms. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

“For example, most people know Google Earth, but many may not realize that the original version of the software was evaluated and supported by the intelligence community well before Google.”

CIA Brian Goral

There is no secret about the CIA, and other US Intelligence agencies, being involved in the early development  stages of major software projects. Google Earth and Palantir Technologies come to mind. Now, a CIA officer claims the Agency developed FACEBOOK too! Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

Poetry as Insurgent Art: Pity the Nation [Lawrence Ferlinghetti]

Posted on August 11, 2017 by L

“If you would be a poet, create works capable of answering the challenge of apocalyptic times, even if this meaning sounds apocalyptic.

You are Whitman, you are Poe, you are Mark Twain, you are Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay, you are Neruda and Mayakovsky and Pasolini, you are an American or a non-American, you can conquer the conquerors with words….”

Lawrence Ferlinghetti — From “Poetry as Insurgent Art”

“When you constantly watch another’s life, All you can do is trip from not watching your own.” We have been a bit too serious these recent weeks. Time for a break and a poem. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

Seymour Hersh: “Russia Election Hack is a CIA Hoax” [UPDATE — CIA Baer and FBI Marquise]

Posted on August 10, 2017 by L

“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”

Sun Tzu  — The Art of War    

“I am worried that we have collectively lost our minds.”

Former CIA Robert Baer — Email to INTEL TODAY (August 4 2017)

“I can tell you right now Brennan is an asshole. I have known all these people for years. Clapper is — sort of — a better guy but not a rocket scientist. The NSA guys are fucking morons. You know the trouble with all of those guys is that the only way they are going to make it to a board, or two, and get hired (…) to deliver some fat cat contracts is if Hillary stayed in.”

Seymour Hersh [Phone interview]

An extraordinary phone conversation with Seymour Hersh was leaked on internet. Assuming for the moment that the audio is genuine, the content is earth-shaking. Hersh alleges that Seth Rich stole the DNC/Podesta emails and passed them to WikiLeaks. Hersh also claims that the allegation of a Trump-Russia collusion is a disinformation operation organized by John Brennan, the former CIA Director.

One Year Ago — STINGRAY & Cell Phone Evidence

Posted on August 10, 2017 by L

“Absent a search warrant, the government may not turn a citizen’s cell phone into a tracking device.”

U.S. District Judge William Pauley

Stingray

Last month (July 2016), U.S. District Judge William Pauley in Manhattan ruled that the rights of a defendant had been  violated when the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration used such a device without a warrant to locate his apartment. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

UPDATE — This device acts as if it was a cell phone tower, and intercepts your phone. Even if you’re not using your phone to actually make a call, the device can still find out exactly where you are. In the last few days, I realized that it is in fact much worse than that. Remember the “Microwave spying” frenzy? As the Russians say, anything whch is  ‘new’ is only part of well forgoten stories… End of UPDATE Continue reading →

Former CIA Chief in Moscow: “Russia Influence. But No Collusion.”

Posted on August 9, 2017 by L

“Overall I have not seen any evidence of anyone actually colluding with the Russians.  [I have not seen any evidence ] of Russian intelligence colluding with a campaign to cause harm to another.”

Daniel Hoffman — Former CIA Chief of Station in Moscow

Daniel Hoffman is a three-time CIA station chief who spent a total of five years in Moscow. Hoffman believes that the infamous June 2016 meeting — attended by Donald Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, campaign manager Paul Manafort  and Kremlin-connected Russians — points to “a discoverable influence operation rather than some effort to establish a clandestine channel for collusion.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY Continue reading →

One Year Ago — Iranian Nuclear Scientist Shahram Amiri Executed

Posted on August 8, 2017 by L

“Following the reported revelations in the Clinton emails, Amiri was executed for spying. In the Iranian judiciary’s mind, it’s a necessary signal to the US that Iran is aware of their activities in Iran and that this is what is done to those who help the enemy. It’s a textbook spying case.”

Dina Esfandiar — MacArthur fellow at the centre for science and security studies at King’s College London

“This person had obtained top-secret information and established contacts with our number one sworn enemy, America, and passed on our country’s most crucial intelligence to the enemy.”

Tasnim News Agency
