Four Years Ago — Wormwood : The Mysterious Death of Cold War Era Military Scientist Frank Olson [Poll]

Posted on September 5, 2021 by L

“Frank was viewed as a dissident. You understand that in 1953 if you thought somebody was detrimental to the war against the Russians, you have no problem dealing with them. It wouldn’t be a question of saying you just have to leave the agency (laughs…) tell me about that, think about that somebody who has secrets, I mean are you kidding me.  Frank was, was out there. He was letting them know that he was marching to a different drummer and you couldn’t do it back then. He was a man who was profoundly, profoundly distressed about what he was learning… and he was dangerous, that I can tell you.”

Seymour Hersh — Pulitzer Prize winner

Wormwood is based on a true story and explores the mysterious death of Cold War-era military scientist Frank Olson (played by Sarsgaard) and his son’s tireless efforts to uncover the truth. In 1953, Frank Olson was recruited to be part of a secret biological warfare program cryptically referred to as Project MKUltra. The miniseries is blending long-form documentary interview with a dramatic reconstruction of pivotal scenes.

September 5 2017 — Errol Morris — one of the most acclaimed and influential documentarians of all time — is back with a project unlike anything he has ever done before. Wormwood, told in six parts, deals with CIA mind-control experiments in the 1950s and the infamous death of US Major Frank Olson. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Posted on September 4, 2021 by L

“We disbanded our intelligence [after both world wars] and then found we needed it. Let’s not go through that again. Redirect it, reduce the amount of money spent, but let’s not destroy it. Because you don’t know 10 years out what you’re going to face.”

Posted on September 2, 2021 by L

“There was sufficient grounds to suspect a criminal device on that plane. I am convinced that the investigation was improperly done.”

On This Day — Korean Airliner Flight 007 Shot Down (September 1 1983) [2021]

Posted on September 1, 2021 by L

“KE-007 was a victim of the cold war. Another casualty, always war’s first, was the Truth. The story of KE-007 will be remembered pretty much the way the Americans told it in 1983 and not the way it really happened. (…) The moral of the story is that all governments, including our own, lie when it suits their purposes. The key is to lie first.”

Alvin A. Snyder — Warriors of Disinformation

KE007-2

September 1 2020 — Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL 007) was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City to Seoul. On September 1st 1983, the airliner serving the flight was shot down by a Soviet Su-15 interceptor, near Moneron Island west of Sakhalin in the Sea of Japan. President Reagan described the attack as a “massacre” and a “crime against humanity”. In fact, the US Intelligence Community knew full well that the Russians had not been able to identify the airliner and truly believed that it was a spy plane. The tape presented as evidence at the UN had been edited to remove 5′ documenting the relevant exchanges between the pilot and the Russian authorities. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Three Years Ago — Havana Syndrome : UCSD Researcher Links Diplomats’ Mystery Illness to Microwave Radiation [New Book : Auditory Effects of Microwave Radiation by Pr. James Lin]

Posted on August 31, 2021 by L

“I looked at what’s known about pulsed RF/MW in relation to diplomats’ experiences. Everything fits. The specifics of the varied sounds that the diplomats reported hearing during the apparent inciting episodes, such as chirping, ringing and buzzing, cohere in detail with known properties of so-called ‘microwave hearing,’ also known as the Frey effect. And the symptoms that emerged fit, including the dominance of sleep problems, headaches and cognitive issues, as well as the distinctive prominence of auditory symptoms. Even objective findings reported on brain imaging fit with what has been reported for persons affected by RF/MW radiation.”

Professor Beatrice Golomb UCSD — August 29 2018

Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at UCSD

August 31 2018 — In October 2017, I suggested than a microwave weapon — and not sonic attacks — may be the cause of the “Havana syndrome”. I am therefore pleased to report that Beatrice Golomb — MD, PhD, professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine — has concluded that reported symptoms and experiences of a “mystery illness” afflicting American and Canadian diplomats in Cuba and China strongly match known effects of pulsed microwave electromagnetic radiation. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

On This Day — Frederick Forsyth : “I worked for MI6 for More Than 20 Years.” (August 30 2015) [2021]

Posted on August 30, 2021 by L

“A journalist should never join the Establishment, no matter how tempting the blandishments. It is our job to hold power to account, not join it. In a world that increasingly obsesses over the gods of power, money, and fame, a journalist and a writer must remain detached, like a bird on a rail, watching, noting, probing, commenting, but never joining. In short, an outsider.”

Frederick Forsyth — The Outsider: My Life in Intrigue  

The best-selling novelist worked as spy for more than two decades after being recruited by Secret Intelligence Service in 1968

Sunday Jokes — The Cultural Differences among US Intel Agencies [Unclassified Summary of Assessment on COVID-19 Origin]

Posted on August 29, 2021 by L

August 29 2021 — Thank God, it is finally Sunday! Those of you who have read the ODNI report on the COVID-19 Origin are probably confused. How can U. S. intelligence agencies reach different conclusions while working on the same information? Well, it is cultural! I thought a joke would explain a bit better the cultural differences among US Intel agencies. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
