Continue reading“The attack was a mistake. Let me emphasise our investigation has determined that no one, and I repeat, no one knowingly targeted the Chinese Embassy. Speculation to the contrary is simply unfounded. No one at any stage in the process realised that our bombs were aimed at the Chinese Embassy.”
CIA Director George Tenet

James Jesus Angleton
Associate Deputy Director of Operations for Counterintelligence from 1954 to 1975
April 23 2022 — For many years, Wilhelm Dietl used his job as a journalist to spy for the German intelligence agency BND in the Middle East. Dietl also planted disinformation pieces at the request of the CIA in German media, including a key story about the alleged Tehran’s payment of US$ 1.3 million for the Lockerbie bombing. Although I discovered the truth 15 years ago, I decided to keep the story secret… Until now. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

How accurate were those predictions? Short answer: very good. And if they had not made a silly mistake — never reported before — the Exxon predictions would have been amazingly correct. PS — Please, keep in mind that in those years, the CIA expected a new ice age! Obviously, Corporate Intelligence beats the Central Intelligence Agency. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
