On This Day — Who Killed Pierre Goldman? And Why? (June 22, 1944 – Assassinated September 20, 1979) [UPDATE — New Movie : The Goldman Case]

Posted on September 20, 2025 by L

“Marseille boys members of GAL killed him [Pierre Goldman] with Maïone, who also talked about a commandant, a former member of the SDECE [French Secret Service], without revealing to me his identity.”

Libération (April 2006)

Pierre Goldman (June 22, 1944 – Assassinated September 20, 1979)

September 20 2023 — Who killed Goldman? Of course, I am not talking about the French singer — Jean-Jacques — who is one of the most loved personalities in France. I am talking about his brother Pierre, a French left-wing intellectual who was convicted of several robberies and mysteriously assassinated on September 20 1979. The case has never been solved.

By the way, although Jean-Jacques never spoke about his brother, many believe that the song “Puisque tu pars” is about Pierre. I left a couple of messages for JJ Goldman knowing full well that he would not reply. I hope that he will speak about his brother one day… “But not too late.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — Remembering UTA Flight 772 (September 19 1989) [UPDATE : Gaddafi strong man Abdullah Senussi wanted Sarkozy pardon for UTA 772. Now, he is in the US cross-hairs for Lockerbie.]

Posted on September 19, 2025 by L

“Raufer established three new facts, all of them pointing — for the first time — to Libya as the culprit of both Pan Am 103 and UTA 772. These facts are false. (…) If that story gains credibility in the media and becomes the ‘new truth’, we will be forced to revisit our position regarding Libya and Gaddafi.”

Note to French President Francois Mitterrand 
(June 1991)

Rescuers stand near the wreckage of the French UTA DC-10 flight 772 in the Tenere desert, on September 22, 1989

September 19 2020 — It has been called the greatest murder investigation in French history. When a suitcase bomb destroyed French Airlines UTA Flight 772, killing all 170 passengers and crew on board, it triggered a decade long search for accountability. At the conclusion of the investigation, the French investigative magistrate judge — Jean Louis Bruguiere — determined that the Libyan State was directly responsible for the bombing of UTA Flight 772. Case closed?

Not everyone is convinced. Pierre Péan, one of the greatest French investigative journalists, came to the conclusion that Thomas Thurman — a Federal Bureau of Investigation explosives expert — fabricated false evidence against Libya in the investigations of Pan Am Flight 103 and UTA Flight 772 . Péan is certainly not alone to suspect foul play. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Lockerbie DNA Evidence Turns Upcoming Trial into a Soap Opera [UPDATE — Lawyers Argue Confession Inadmissible]

Posted on September 19, 2025 by L

“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.”

Report on Lockerbie

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. In CIA parlance, this case has just gone from SNAFU to full-blown FUBAR — and fast. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

On This Day — Who Killed Dag Hammarskjöld and Why? (September 18 1961) [The Truth is Out There: Secrets Behind the Ndola Crash]

Posted on September 18, 2025 by L

 “It will be necessary to find some way of pulling Hammarskjold up short.”

UK Prime Minister Harold Macmillan 
(September 13  1961)

***** ***** *****

“Hammarskjöld was at the point of getting something done when they killed him. Notice that I said ‘when they killed him.’ ”

September 18 2020 — On September 18 1961, the Ndola United Nations DC-6 crashed, killing Dag Hammarskjöld — the second Secretary-General of the United Nations — and 15 others died. Hammarskjöld’s death occurred en route to cease-fire negotiations. A British-run commission of inquiry blamed the crash in 1961 on pilot error. A later UN investigation rubber-stamped its findings.

Remembering Robert Redford’s lessons from Three Days of the Condor

Posted on September 17, 2025 by L

“Listen. I work for the CIA. I am not a spy. I just read books! We read everything that’s published in the world. And we… we feed the plots – dirty tricks, codes – into a computer, and the computer checks against actual CIA plans and operations. I look for leaks, I look for new ideas… We read adventures and novels and journals. I… I… Who’d invent a job like that?”

Joe Turner
(Robert Redford)
Three Days of the Condor (1975)

September 17, 2025 – Robert Redford’s passing marks the end of an era. He died peacefully on September 16, 2025, at his home in Sundance, Utah, at the age of 89. Redford was a towering figure in American cinema, known for iconic roles such as Bob Woodward in All the President’s Men, where he portrayed one of the Washington Post journalists who uncovered the Watergate scandal. But it won’t surprise my readers that Three Days of the Condor remains my personal favorite. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

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

Posted on September 13, 2025 by L

“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.”

Michael Bay
Email to the CIA
(March 2015)

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

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

Posted on August 29, 2025 by L

“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
