March 10 2020 — The Minerva Files mention at least five suspicious deaths: Boris Hagelin Jr., CIA/NSA employee Gary C. Durrell, and a German employee of Crypto AG, Werner Graf. But the files do not name an NSA whistleblower and a journalist. Who are they? And why is their identity kept secret to this day? Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
“There was sufficient grounds to suspect a criminal device on that plane. I am convinced that the investigation was improperly done.”

“KE-007 was a victim of the cold war. Another casualty, always war’s first, was the Truth. 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. (…) The moral of the story is that all governments, including our own, lie when it suits their purposes. The key is to lie first.”

September 1 2023 — Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL 007) was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City to Seoul. On September 1st 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. President Reagan described the attack as a “massacre” and a “crime against humanity”. In fact, the US Intelligence Community knew full well that the Russians had not been able to identify the airliner and truly believed that it was a spy plane. The tape presented as evidence at the UN had been edited to remove 5′ documenting the relevant exchanges between the pilot and the Russian authorities. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

August 26 2023 — Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed in Russia. Not surprisingly, MSM are quoting an army of experts who already ‘know’ what happened and who did it. Perhaps, this is a good opportunity to apply some of the lessons we have learned. Let us apply the “Analysis of Competing Hypotheses” (ACH) developed by CIA Richards J. Heuer. I asked ChatGPT to explain how one might approach this case using the ACH method.

“Above all, I would teach him to tell the truth. Truth-telling, I have found, is the key to responsible citizenship. The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common: Every single one was a liar.”
J. Edgar Hoover
August 22 2023 — Though never elected to any office, for nearly 50 years J. Edgar Hoover’s power was unmatched. As head of the FBI, he knew what everyone else wanted to keep hidden. Hoover kept the world’s largest collection of pornographic materials which he used for his own pleasure and to blackmail anyone he did not like. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
“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.”

“One of Mr. Aid’s most significant findings, which became publicly known in 2005, was an NSA cover up of erroneous records related to the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which US officials alleged that North Vietnamese torpedo boats twice fired on US Navy ships. The incident led to US military engagement in Vietnam. A report written by an agency historian in 2001 noted that US intelligence officers falsified documents about a disputed attack, but that fact was suppressed.”
Washington Post (August 29 2018)
August 20 2023 — Matthew Aid was an American military historian and author. He was working on signal intelligence and the history of the National Security Agency. His work has been published in numerous journals, newspapers, and magazines including Foreign Policy, Politico magazine, National Security Archive, and the Associated Press. In 2005, Matthew Aid discovered that the CIA and four other agencies had been withdrawing thousands of records from the National Archives with the help of insiders. He is greatly missed by those who still care about facts in this post-truth world. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
