The August 4 2020 Beirut Explosion — Debunking the FBI Conspiracy Theory [UPDATE : Malice or Stupidity?]

Posted on December 20, 2021 by L

“The amount of ammonium nitrate that blew up at Beirut port last year was one fifth of the shipment unloaded there in 2013, the FBI concluded after the blast, adding to suspicions that much of the cargo had gone missing.”

Reuters (July 30 2021)

August 10 2021 — FBI forensic scientists have estimated that around 552 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded on August 4 2020 in the Port of Beirut, much less than the 2,754 tonnes that arrived on a Russian-leased cargo ship in 2013. Reuters, The Guardian, and other MSM are reporting this nonsensical junk-science report without even consulting scientific experts. Let me be very clear. This is total nonsense.

On This Day — Did the CIA Kill Father Louis Thomas Merton? (December 10 1968) [New Book: Thomas Merton’s Betrayers]

Posted on December 19, 2021 by L

“The very thoughts of a person like me are crimes against the state. All I have to do is think, and immediately I become guilty.”

Father Louis Merton —  A Signed Confession of Crimes against the State

The Dalai Lama was 33 years old when he met father Merton. “I often describe him as a very, very strong bridge between Catholic tradition and Buddhist tradition,” says the Dalai Lama reflecting on his meeting with him.

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

Two Years Ago — GCHQ boss reveals real reason behind his resignation (February 25 2019) [UPDATE : Watchdog misled over reason for resignation]

Posted on December 18, 2021 by L

“After Father Edmund Higgins pleaded guilty to child sexual imagery offences in 2013, we submitted a character reference on our knowledge of him to the court in good faith. His subsequent criminal actions appalled us and have shown that our judgment was completely wrong.”

Former GCHQ Boss Robert Hannigan (Feb. 2019)

February 25 2021 — The sudden announcement of Robert Hannigan’s resignation in January 2017 surprised many and the news fueled suspicions that GCHQ had been spying on Trump’s team. At the time, the true reason behind his departure was kept secret but it was finally revealed in February 2019. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today

Introducing ‘Random Thoughts’ [December 2021]

Posted on December 17, 2021 by L

“Be a free thinker and don’t accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.”

Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC)

The painting “Random Thoughts” by Sandy Welch

December 17 2021 — Dear Friends, Today (as a result of what is going on with Facebook) I decided to launch a new feature: The Intel Today ‘Random Thoughts’ page. Many readers send me their tips and suggestions through various media: Twitter, Facebook, blog comments and email. Thus, I believe that it would be helpful if all this information could be posted in one place. Once in a while, I will also post my own questions. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Four Years Ago — US Spies & the Havana Syndrome : Are health effects caused by pulsed microwaves?

Posted on December 16, 2021 by L

“This happened during the Cold War to personnel stationed in the US embassy in Moscow when the Soviets were bombarding the embassy with microwaves to monitor oral communications in the ambassador’s office.”

Dr Joel Moskowitz — Community health professor at the University of California, Berkeley

December 14 2017 — US Investigators still don’t know what caused “diplomats” to suffer severe health problems in Cuba. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Havana Syndrome — Conspiracy Theorists, Truth Deniers, Scientists and Spies

Posted on December 14, 2021 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

One Year Ago — John Le Carré Dies Aged 89 — [“And how would I like to be remembered?”]

Posted on December 13, 2021 by L

“Reading and thinking about Palme makes you wonder who you are. And who you might have been, but weren’t. And where your moral courage went when it was needed. 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)

(October 19, 1931 – December 12, 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

On This Day — Remembering Arrow Air Flight 1285 (December 12 1985) [UPDATE : What does the CVR say?]

Posted on December 12, 2021 by L

“Hours after the crash the Islamic Jihad – a Shiite Muslim extremist group – claimed it destroyed the plane to prove [its] ability to strike at the Americans anywhere.”

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

Havana Syndrome — What Are the Frequencies Used by US Intel for Microwave Spying? [UPDATE : Snowden doc reveals joint NSA/GCHQ project and corroborates Intel Today’s Analysis]

Posted on December 11, 2021 by L

” 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
