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

Posted on January 7, 2023 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
Head of the Hamburg Branch of the BfV
(April 1986)

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

January 7 2023 — 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 — North Korea Tests H Bomb in “Self-Defence Against US” (January 6 2016) [Why I Started Blogging]

Posted on January 6, 2023 by L

“It is just to have H-bomb as self-defence against the US having numerous and humongous nuclear weapons. The DPRK’s fate must not be protected by any forces but DPRK itself.”

On This Day — French Captain Alfred Dreyfus Is Convicted of Treason (January 5 1895) [Politicization of Intelligence]

Posted on January 5, 2023 by L

“Officers new to counterintelligence and overwhelmed by the scope of what they need to learn often ask the same question: ‘Where do I start?’ The best place might be the Dreyfus affair.”

The Lessons for Counter-Intelligence of the Dreyfus Affair — CIA Website

Alfred Dreyfus (January 9, 1859 — July 12, 1935)

January 5 2022 — On January 5 1895, Dreyfus was summarily convicted in a secret court-martial, publicly stripped of his army rank, and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island in French Guiana. Following French military custom of the time, Dreyfus was formally degraded by having the rank insignia, buttons and braid cut from his uniform and his sword broken, all in the courtyard of the École Militaire before silent ranks of soldiers, while a large crowd of onlookers shouted abuse from behind railings.

Lockerbie — Newly Declassified Doc Reveals True Reason of Trial [UPDATE — Mandela to Blair: “Wrong to hold Libya legally responsible.”]

Posted on December 30, 2022 by L

“His [Gaddafi] readiness to suffer the extended effects of sanctions rather than to hand over the indictees indicated that he must have something personal to fear. But the present strategy would not only call any bluff on his part but could be a step towards the prosecution of Libya before the International Court of Justice.”

Cabinet Meeting Conclusion (23 July 1998)

December 30 2021 — A document released today reveals why Tony Blair finally accepted the idea of a trial in a neutral country. Basically, Blair thought that Gaddafi was bluffing and would never hand over the two Libyans. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — Pan Am Flight 103 disintegrates over Lockerbie (December 21 1988) [UPDATE : Libyan PM : “I will never hand Senussi to the Americans.”]

Posted on December 28, 2022 by L

“Operation El Dorado Canyon (1986) turned out to be a more decisive blow against Libyan-sponsored terrorism than I could ever have imagined. There were revenge killings of British hostages organized by Libya, which I bitterly regretted. But the much-vaunted Libyan counter attack did not and could not take place. There was a marked decline in Libyan-sponsored terrorism in succeeding years.”

Margaret Thatcher
The Downing Street Years
(Memoirs 1993, pp 448-9)

December 21 2021 — On December 21 1988, N739PA — the Boeing 747 aircraft operating the transatlantic leg of Pan Am Flight 103 — broke up in flight over Scotland. All 243 passengers and 16 crew died as well as 11 residents of Lockerbie. This horrific crime has been called the world’s biggest unsolved murder. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

On This Day — The Good Traitor — Remembering George Blake (November 11 1922 — December 26 2020)

Posted on December 26, 2022 by L

“Communism was an ideal which, if it could have been achieved, would have been well worth it. I thought it could be, and I did what I could to help it, to build such a society. It has not proved possible. But I think it is a noble idea and I think humanity will return to it.”

George Blake

“Looking back on my life, everything seems logical and natural.” 

December 26 2022 — George Blake — one of the famous “moles” in British intelligence — spied for the Soviet KGB during the 1950s before being arrested in 1961 and sentenced to 42 years in prison. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

On This Day — CIA COS Richard Welch Is Assassinated in Athens (December 23 1975)

Posted on December 24, 2022 by L

“The CIA and the Ford White House quickly saw Welch’s murder as a political windfall. At a time when the CIA was under assault from Congress and Bush’s nomination was in peril in the Senate, there was now a dead CIA hero to mourn.”

James Risen
The Intercept
(December 8 2018)

Richard Welch — CIA Chief of Station in Athens

December 23 2022 — On December 15, 1975, a Senate committee opened hearings on whether George H.W. Bush should be confirmed as director of the Central Intelligence Agency. It was not going to be a slam dunk. When the CIA Chief of Station was assassinated on December 23 1975, Bush quickly rewrote the history of this tragedy for his own political advantage. And later, his lies became the “truth”.  Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

One Year Ago — Havana Syndrome : Conspiracy Theorists, Truth Deniers, Scientists and Spies [UPDATE : The story of Dr. Leonid Ber]

Posted on December 14, 2022 by L

“It is the role of intelligence to identify and characterize threats to the nation and to sift what is likely true from what is probably false. But the public has gotten very little useful or meaningful information from our intelligence agencies. They could do better.”

Steven Aftergood
Federation of American Scientists

Dr. Garry Nolan is a Professor of Pathology at Stanford University. His robust resume—300 research articles, 40 US patents, founding of eight biotech companies, and honored as one of Stanford’s top 25 inventors—makes him, easily, one of the most accomplished scientists publicly studying UAPs. 

December 14 2021 — To most people, 2021 has been a miserable year. But UFO aficionados, Science fiction wizards and real mystery wonks have the time of their lives. The US Defense Department has appointed an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force to investigate “incursions of unauthorized aircraft.” The CIA has established a task force to investigate the cause of the “Havana Syndrome.” And, last but not least, POTUS asked the ODNI to find out if COVID-19 is man-made.

Despite a $85 billion annual budget, the US Intelligence Community could not provide definitive answers to any of these big scientific mysteries. In the absence of clear evidence, people react in different ways. Enthusiasts feel vindicated while deniers reject even the known facts. And then, there is a handful of people who work hard to solve these cases. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
