Is NATO an obsolete deadbeat? [John Le Carré — Silverview]

Posted on January 11, 2024 by L

“America’s determination to manage the Middle East at all costs, its habit of launching a new war every time it needs to deal with the effects of the last one it launched. NATO as a leftover Cold War relic doing more harm than good. And poor, toothless, leaderless Britain tagging along behind because it still dreams of greatness and doesn’t know what else to dream about.”

Silverview
John Le Carré

John Le Carré (October 19, 1931 – December 12, 2020)

On This Day — President Ronald Reagan announces economic sanctions against Libya (January 7 1986) [Timeline]

Posted on January 7, 2024 by L

“I cannot rule out that Libya, in some way, is responsible for the ‘La Belle Disco’ bombing. But I must say that such hasty blame regarding Rome and Vienna, for which Libya had immediately been made responsible, did not prove to be correct.”

Christian Lochte

(April 1986)

On April 14th 1986, Ronald Reagan ordered a series of bombings directed against Libya under “Operation El Dorado Canyon”

January 7 2024 — On January 7 1986, President Ronald Reagan announced economic sanctions against Libya and called on the European allies to join with the U.S. in isolating Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi. This story is a good reminder that playing dirty didn’t start yesterday.  After reading this post, you will probably understand that the recent kidnapping of Abu Agela MASUD has nothing to do with TRUTH and JUSTICE. It is merely about the CIA/FBI/DoJ tying up loose ends in the greatest cover-up of modern history… Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — Can you solve this 1953 Nuclear Mystery? [TOP SECRET H-Bomb Doc Lost]

Posted on January 6, 2024 by L

“We want to know every step he [US physicist John Archibald Wheeler] had taken, persons with whom he had talked, whether he had gone home after receiving the document, how he had gone to the train, whether he had called anyone, how long he had been at each place, what he did with the document at every step and, in fact, his actions should be traced minute by minute.”

J. Edgar Hoover — FBI Files

January 6 2024 — In January 1953, US physicist John Archibald Wheeler lost a document on an overnight train from Philadelphia to Washington, DC.

The FBI special agents assigned to the investigation were given almost unlimited resources to uncover the fate of the TOP SECRET document. All of their efforts were to no avail. The document was never seen again. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Obituary — Journalist John Pilger Dies Aged 84

Posted on January 1, 2024 by L

“The hysteria over the release of the so-called Lockerbie bomber reveals much about the political and media class on both sides of the Atlantic, especially Britain. From Gordon Brown’s ‘repulsion’ to Barack Obama’s ‘outrage’, the theatre of lies and hypocrisy is dutifully attended by those who call themselves journalists.”

Posted on December 28, 2023 by L

“The people of Pakistan had rejected bigotry and prejudice in electing a woman Prime Minister. It was an enormous honor, and an equally enormous responsibility… I had not asked for this role; I had not asked for this mantle.
