Turkey Coup: “CIA Plotters’ Meeting” in Büyükada

Posted on August 27, 2016 by L

“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.”

Prison Officials Respond to CIA Whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling’s Health Complaint

Posted on August 26, 2016 by L

“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.”

Posted on August 25, 2016 by L

“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.”

Former CIA Analyst Philip Giraldi: “Morell’s bluster deserves a bit of a fact check”

Posted on August 20, 2016 by L

“Michael Morell is, in fact, a product of Washington groupthink and a major beneficiary of Establishment politics, the very tradition that Hillary Clinton represents. (…) The national security industry that Morell is part of runs on fear. His current lifestyle and substantial emoluments depend on people being afraid. And the Russians and Iranians are inevitably behind it all.”

Posted on August 19, 2016 by L

“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.

Intelligence: Information Collection vs Analytical Methods

Posted on August 19, 2016 by L

“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.

The “FAREWELL DOSSIER”

Posted on August 18, 2016 by L

“There have been only two kinds of CIA secret operations: the ones that are widely known to have failed—usually because of almost unbelievably crude errors—and the ones that are not yet widely known to have failed.”

On July 19 1981 President Ronald Reagan met with French President Francois Mitterrand in Ottawa, Ontario at an economic summit. Mitterrand informed Reagan about the “Farewell Dossier”.

Not everyone will agree with Ed Luttwak’s analysis which is undoubtedly a tad unfair. Follow us on Twitter:@INTEL_TODAY  Continue reading →
