CIA Memorial Wall — The powerful ending of “13 HOURS” is DEAD WRONG ! [Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods — Benghazi, Libya – September 12, 2012]

“Also being twice in that great building, I was drawn to the Memorial Wall both times. On Friday, I realized that the last two stars were Tyrone and Glen. I would like to end the film with a wide shot of the wall, including the flags on either side, and then cut on a close up of the last two stars, and fade out.”

September 12, 2025 — 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (also known simply as 13 Hours) is a 2016 American biographical action-thriller film directed and produced by Michael Bay and written by Chuck Hogan. The script is based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s 2014 book of the same name. The film’s historical accuracy has been disputed. Today, I will not weigh on this issue, but I can ensure you that the ‘powerful end scene’ is DEAD WRONG. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Lockerbie DNA Evidence Turns Upcoming Trial into a Soap Opera [UPDATE — US DoJ Heading Toward Approximate Truth]

“All but one of the DNA components which make up that profile are present in [RARDE Forensic Expert] Allen Feraday’s DNA profile. (…) This component is unsuitable for interpretation purposes since a large number of individuals from any population might be expected to match it.”

Lockerbie evidence: PI/449 and PK/206

July 1, 2025 — Some so-called “Lockerbie experts” — including former FBI officials — have hailed the recent DNA evidence as a major forensic breakthrough. In reality, it is nothing of the sort.

On This Day (July 26, 2007): The Day I Exposed CIA Edits on Wikipedia [UPDATE — US Congressional Probe into Wikipedia Disinformation]

“This story is demented and broken on so many levels (…) An excellent Wikipedia administrator [Linda Mack] has been victimized by lunatic conspiracy theorists.”

Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia co-founder
(July 26 2007)

July 26, 2025 — On July 26, 2007, I published an article highlighting suspicious edits made to certain Wikipedia entries. The date was not chosen at random. Exactly sixty years earlier, on July 26, 1947, President Harry S. Truman had signed the National Security Act, which established the Central Intelligence Agency. Two decades later, the questions raised by that story remain just as urgent. In an era globally defined by disinformation, this moment marked an early warning. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — J. Edgar Hoover Becomes FBI Deputy Director (August 22 1921) [UPDATE : FBI Confidence Remains Low Amid Controversial Leadership]

“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 2025 — 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.
