“Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators.”
Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion (May 23, 1960)
December 15 2021 — On December 15 1961, Adolf Eichmann — one of the primary organizers of the “Final Solution” — was sentenced to death. At his trial, Eichmann insisted that he was “just following orders.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Steven Aftergood — Federation of American Scientists
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

You ask yourself what power drove him – golden boy, aristocratic family, brilliant scion of the best schools and the best cavalry regiment – to embrace from the outset of his career the cause of the exploited, the deprived, the undervalued and the unheard?”
David Cornwell — Olof Palme Award acceptance speech (January 30 2020)
December 13 2021 — David John Moore Cornwell — also known by the pen name John le Carré — died of pneumonia at the Royal Cornwall Hospital on December 12 2020. He turned down all literary honors, but accepted the 2019 Olof Palme Prize. His magnificent acceptance speech is a reminder that Olof Palme’s words and deeds still inspire people to commit to democracy, human rights and peace. His murder must be solved. We owe him that much. Today, perhaps more so than ever before, “one must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

UPI — Anonymous caller to a French news agency in Beirut
December 12 2021 — On the morning of December 12 1985, shortly after take-off from Gander en route to Fort Campbell, Arrow aircraft 1285 crashed, and burned about half a mile from the runway, killing all 248 passengers and 8 crew members on board. Investigators blamed icing. But many experts think otherwise. Was it really an accident? Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
Continue reading” LOUDAUTO is extremely useful for picking up room audio. It can pick up speech at a standard, office volume from over 20′ away. (NOTE: Concealments may reduce this distance.) It uses very little power (~15 uA at 3.0 VDC), so little, in fact, that battery self-discharge is more of an issue for serviceable lifetime than the power draw from this unit. The simplicity of the design allows the form factor to be tailored for specific operation requirements. All components at COTS and so are non-attributable to NSA.”
From the NSA’s Tailored Access Operations (TAO) group implant catalogue
September 17 2018 — Why is the Washington Post telling his readers that “Microwave Weapons” do not exist? Why do they ridicule a known technology — patented in the US and used by the NSA according to documents leaked by Snowden — as fake news? Why was the initial report regarding the mysterious illness affecting the US diplomats in Havana “lost” for six months, thus badly delaying the start of the US investigation? And why has the CDC never been contacted to investigate this case? Do not worry. It will eventually make sense.
First thing first. Obviously, I would like to know what frequencies are used today for “Microwave spying”? Well, Snowden gave us a few clues regarding the NSA/CIA gadgets. Tiny steps for tiny feet. Snowden revelations include a very much ignored information regarding an Audio-based RF retro-reflector — codenamed LOUDAUTO — which provides room audio from targeted space using radar and basic post-processing. Let us try to make sense of it! Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Do you have any idea what I’m talking about? They make *you* the story. And you have a history of schizophrenia, you’re a liar, you’re a homo, you beat your dog, you’re a pedophile, it doesn’t matter if none of it’s true. The point is no one remembers what you found. They remember you and you’re nuts. You cease to exist.”

Father Louis Merton — A Signed Confession of Crimes against the State
December 10 2021 — Thomas Merton (January 31, 1915 – December 10, 1968) was an American Trappist monk, writer, theologian, mystic, poet, social activist, and scholar of comparative religion. On May 26, 1949, he was ordained to the priesthood and given the name Father Louis. In the years since his death, Merton has been the subject of several biographies. Fifty years later, his death remains mysterious. In 1997, James W. Douglass claimed that Merton had been assassinated by agents of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In 2016, theologian Matthew Fox made a similar claim. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

He later told a lawyer that this was because documents kept mysteriously disappearing from the CIA server. In March 2014, then-CIA Director John Brennan denied the claims, calling them ‘beyond the scope of reason.’ However, a few months later the CIA Inspector General’s report backed up claims that the CIA repeatedly hacked Senate computers in an effort to stop the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report.”
Isabel Crabtree — Esquire (December 7 2019)
December 9 2021 — On December 9 2014, a U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report revealed that the CIA’s interrogation of terror suspects after the September 11 2001 attacks was more brutal than it told the White House or public. The “CIA torture report” concluded that these CIA tactics were “deeply flawed.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Four decades later, this ‘mysterious’ double flash still matters, and the debate is not over. What do you think? Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

National Academies of Sciences
October 27 2020 — Last spring, the US State Department requested the National Academy of Sciences to undertake a full review of the Havana Syndrome. The committee submitted its report to the State Department in early August. So far, the report has not been released to lawmakers. Why on Earth not? I can tell you this much. The National Academy of Sciences Committee has taken very seriously the hypothesis suggested by this blogger. UPDATE — The NAS report was finally released on December 5 2020.
