In the so-called war on terror, securing secrets obtained is just as important for intelligence services as obtaining them in the first place, though the Western powers, especially the United States, have been quite slow in realizing this, thanks to its beliefs that its technology is too complicated to be seriously broken, and its agents are completely trustworthy. Of course, traditionally counter-intelligence – protecting what one already has, and making sure that it is not stolen in the future – has been as important as obtaining or stealing them in the first place. But the end of the Cold War – where organized systems of the combatants faced off against one another, has greatly blunted the process – leading individual states and alliances to believe that they only need worry about hackers, thieves of specific expertise, and criminal organizations. Current intelligence agencies have been until quite…
“At least 11 people have been confirmed dead in Haiti following a magnitude-5.9 earthquake that gave “rise to panic in several towns,” officials and reports say.
Police told Reuters that seven were killed and more than 100 were injured in Port-de-Paix, a northern coastal city near the epicenter of the earthquake on Saturday, and that four were left dead in and around Gros-Morne. . . “
Trowbridge H. Ford says, “[On the] 5.9 quake in Haiti which Trump had caused to celebrate Kavanaugh’s joining the Supreme Court by teaching those “shithole countries” a lesson?”
Covert operations, especially assassinations, have a habit of being more complicated than they seem because of unexpected surprises, accidents, and mistakes, and the massacre of the al-Hilli family of Claygate, Surrey on September 5, 2012 is no different. While assumed to be after the fact the work of some local psychopath somewhere, it was a conspiracy plot of international.proportions gone again wrong.
Like the plot which ended up up almost assassinating President Ronald Reagan, the murder of the al-Hillis started apparently with the murder of American whistle-blower John P. Wheeler, III, made to look like the Iranian secret service, SAVAK, did it. The only trouble with the conspiracy was his body accidentally fell out of the dumpster where it was placed after his ambush, drugging, torture and murder on its way to the Wilmington, Delaware landfill, making it impossible to contend that he had mysteriously gone missing, thanks to the handiwork by Tehran.
Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller, former Director of MI5, had made it quite clear that Britain would no longer allow such action to be carried out on its territory, especially by American and Israeli agents, after the fallout from the killings of Dr. David Kelly in England, former Foreign Minister Robin Cook in Scotland, and Deputy GMP Chief Constable Mike Todd in Wales. This meant that any covert action concerning United Kingdom citizens could only be carried out elsewhere.
While Wheeler’s murder helped gain passage of the new START treaty with Russia, it did nothing to end Anglo-America concerns about Iran’s missile and nuclear ambitions. Consequently, CIA and MI6 agents adopted a plan to set up Saad al-Hilli as a spy, working for Tehran. He had the ideal credentials for playing such a role, being employed by Surrey Satellites Technology, a subsidiary of European Aeronautical, Defence and Space, Co, (EADS) aka Airbus. Iran ass most interested in upgrading the capacity of its decaying navy, and French improvements in the area, especially development of the M51 missile for its new class of submarines, was bound to attract Tehran. And it would be easy for Isrel’s Mossad under Meir Dagan’s successor to set him up, as the Agency had done to Wheeler, because Saad was most aggrieved because of the Gulf Wars against Iraq, and most engaged in chatroom rants about how he hated Israel, and its Jews.
Saad had bought a dilapidated cottage in Saint Macaire in the Gironde district of France in 1997, insuring that he would be going to this country the next time he left Britain. Eagle-eyed neighbor living across the street from the Saint Macaire cottage, Russian emigre Vladimir Charov, though, was a serious threat to anything conspiratorial being done there.
The problem then for his assassins was to manipulate him to go somewhere else in France where he could easily be killed, any investigation of it made most difficult because of its isolation, a mass killing of some sort which could not be forgotten about, and a place which could be used to implicate Tehran in the killing ultimately. While Airbus facilities in nearby Toulouse would be an ideal location for the set up, given its importance in the development of the M51 missile, it was also too populated for an easy assassination. A family outing would also be ideal.
British SIS apparently persuaded him to go to France in September 2012 which could facilitate going by the cottage on the way to a rendezvous around Lake Annecy, near where the Airbus facility in Ugine is located, and meeting up with someone else on a secret mission. French foreign intelligence aka DGSE would do something similar with a worker at another Ugine plant, ultimately settling on Syllvain Mollier. a mechanic who worked for the nuclear cladding company CEZUS, a subsidiary of AREDA He had contacts with Airbus in Ugine, and could well get secret information about nuclear weapons and missiles if so inclined. The process required Saad and Mollier working on the assumption that the other was a spy working to sell to or buy from whatever the other was offering for Iran.
The al-Hillis arrived at the campground on the shore of Lake Annecy on September 3rd, and a meeting was arranged by cellphone to the two in the deep woodland near where Mollier lived, south of Ugine. which was about an hour’s drive from where the family was camping.
Finding assassins to do the ambush killings was even more complicated, and drawn out. Ideally, he should have no direct connection to the USA, UK, France, and Israel. William Hershkovitz, spelled Hershkowitz in New York’s Hyde Park, had graduated from college recently from the State University at New Paltz where he practiced making pottery, and playing music. Hating Muslims and Nazis, he decided to join the Iranim program of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Israeli government in the hope that its promotion of tourism, and various work-studies would lead to a new occupation. It was also a recruiting ground for the Mossad, Israel’s secret intelligence agency,
Hershkovitz went to Israel in July, and started working for the program in the tourist resort of Eilat on the Red Sea.
During August, he trained hard in using weapons, driving vehicles, especially motorcycles, and tracking targets in preparation for an El-Al round trip from Tel Aviv to Parids, making his way then for the meet up with Mollier and the al-Hillis. around Lake Annecy. While it was easy to track them, the meeting proved totally uneventful with their acting as if it was just by chance and they didn’t have any connections, forcing Hershkovitz to kill the cycling Molleir in a barrage of bullets as he wasn’t carrying anything of possible interest, and then the al-Hillis so that he could search the BMW estate to see if any large sums of money and/or secret information were on board, resulting in his injuring his hand, it seems, while opening its bonnet, and leaving a trace of his blood there and apparently while looking under Saad’s floor mat for the same. While he killed the three adults with at least three shots each, at least one to the head and two in Iqbal’ls case, he gave up trying to kill their elder daughter, and was in such a hurry to make his getaway that he never noticed the younger one hiding under her mother’s dead body.
He safely escaped back to Israel, and the massacre would have remained unexplained forever if it were not for what he learned from his Mossad handlers, and the coverage given it and the war on terrorism generally by the medias. Hershkovitz learned that Mrs. al-Hilli’s first husband and likely still so, Jim Thompson, was killed apparently by DCI General Petraeus’s CIA poisoning in Natchez,Mississippi just seven hours after she was killed to make it look like Saad’s family problems were not only financial ones with his brother Zaid but also marital ones with his wife, Iqbal . This murder, though, was not disclosed until years later. Then there was the most lurid coverage of the mystery massacre in the media, especially in the tabloids like The Daily Mail.
It all drove Hershkovitz over the top, becoming a completely different person from when he arrived. He attacked his coworkers, even threatening to kill them. Suicide was threatened. He himself said that he was having nightmares where he “…killed and maimed persons he didn’t even know.” After having the nightmares, a roommate reported that he started “pounding on the walls’ after he woke up.
A week after the massacre on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Benghazi disaster in Libya occurred, killing four Americans in its consulate, and Hershkovitz thought it was a deliberate diversion to draw away public attention from what he had done in France.
It all culminated with a showdown he had with his work supervisor, chef Palestinian Armando al-Abed, during which they argued increasingly forcefully about who he was, and what he was up top. Ultimately, just on the first monthly anniversary of his attacks, Herschkovitz, who had been directed to change his position, but refused, grabbed a gun away from a security guard where he was working, and shot Abed repeatedly dead, resulting in a shoot-out with the security forces which resulted in his being killed too.
The whole plot had simply self-destructed, though the investigators, especially French prosecutor Eric Maiillaud, and the media simply failed to see it.
This post deals with dangerous lies that James Comey has said on 60 Minutes. The whole softball interview was about how the old “Murder Inc.”, racist, provocateur FBI of Hoover days is now the snappy, clean-‘n-fresh ethical FBI that doesn’t ever, ever assassinate people without charges or a trial or engage in illegal spying or planting bombs in journalists’ luggage to implicate them as terrorists etc., etc..
The Fight for no encryption is a smoke screen for National Security Letters
By Trowbridge Ford
I have had a running battle with the Bureau ever since it reported that its agents and those from the Postal Service were looking for an alleged dangerous sociopath who was sending hand-written threatening postcards to former Vice President Richard Nixon and Dallas Representative Bruce Alger from Dallas, Irving, and Fort Worth, Texas a month before the JFK assassination – what were apparently from LHO (Lee Harvey Oswald) as they were the places where he was born, visited regularly to see his wife Marina, and where he worked.
Still Nixon went to Dallas, and strolled around the city for two days before the assassination, advertising that he so little needed police protection that the Dallas Morning Newsnoted it on its front page on the fatal day. This culminated in a totally broken down Secret Service protection when the President’s limousine drove through the city that afternoon.
Ever since I made note of this in various publications, particularly one of Tom Valentine’s, the Bureau has been out to get me, first as the pardoned former President’s libeler, and then for decades the President’s forger, claiming that he was working with Jack Ruby even since his days on HUAC – what Jim DiEugenio claimed in a special issue of Probe magazine in January 1996 that eventually brought down the President during Watergate.
While I wish it was true, as the USA has never had anyone near as terrible as Richard Nixon, the false claim was intended to make my death-by-poisoning in Portugal look like suicide or a natural death – what the Portuguese weekly Ja intended to make more likely by trashing my claim about the Dallas coup as completely unfounded, even though it had interviewed me extensively, and taken numerous photos of where I lived before putting down my theory in a June 1996 issue.
While the CIA made the attempts to kill me while I continued to live in Europe, the Bureau took over when I came back to the States in December 2012 after it had joined in the Swedish Security Service aka Sapo in attempting to make out that I was working with ‘Jihad Jane’ aka Colleen LaRose and to assassinate Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks (killed for insulting the Prophet).
Back in the States, when the Bureau could find no encrypted message which implicated me in Muslim terrorism, since I made no such messages, it apparently tried to kill me in a drug bust where I lived, making out that I was working with Steven G. Nickerson in some criminal activity, based upon all the property holdings he allegedly has around New Haven.
When an Bureau-based assassin failed to shoot me when I answered an unexpected visitor at 1 a.m., and failed to stand up when he shined a hand-held laser radar pistol in my window at the same time two days later in June 2013. The Bureau, thanks apparently to getting approval of a National Security Letter about me, held up delivery of my furniture from Europe in the hope of finding some dirty explosive, and then went through my papers and belongings, even crushing a piece of my chess set, a black knight, in the hope of determining if it was an explosive device.
The snoops even placed a note on its box containing it, stating that the piece was broken on July 29, 2013, the day that James Comey was confirmed as its Director.
In sum, National Security Letters are the great threat to Fourth Amendment rights, not opening encrypted messages.

Paul Craig Roberts says “According to a report in Kommersant-Ukraine, the finance ministry of Washington’s stooges in Kiev who are pretending to be a government has prepared an economic austerity plan that will cut Ukrainian pensions from $160 to $80 so that Western bankers who lent money to Ukraine can be repaid at the expense of Ukraine’s poor. It is Greece all over again.” from Ukraine: “The War Will Be Nuclear”
There was a lot on the oddities surrounding the recent crash at San Fransisco’s airport. Although Asiana airlines is South Korean a lot of the passengers on that flight were Chinese. In China, relatives of Asiana passengers anxiously await news Is the US trying to damage China by underhanded sabotage?
Let’s see if this new plane crash elicits the same type of strange treatment of families and sidetracked investigation.
UPDATES
Backpacker Lee’s Blog: “Less than 18 hours since the plane went missing, there were reports coming from the US Embassy in Taiwan who had picked up an SOS call from MH370 who were complaining of “disintegration of fuselage” and requesting a place to land. Quite why the US Embassy picked up this distress call and nobody else did is a mystery to me…”
A COMMENT in the above story from Before It’s News link goes into detail about the high-tech company and patents that some who were not on the plane stand to profit from—-
“Have you pieced together the puzzle of missing flight 370 to Beijing China ?? If not, here are your missing pieces. Patents Patents Patents Four days after the missing flight MH370 a patent is approved by the Patent Office, 4 of the 5 Patent holders are Chinese employees of Freescale Semiconductor of Austin TX. Patent is divided up on 20% increments to 5 holders. Peidong Wang, Suzhou, China, (20%) Zhijun Chen, Suzhou, China, (20%) Zhihong Cheng, Suzhou, China, (20%) Li Ying, Suzhou, China, (20%) Freescale Semiconductor (20%) If a patent holder dies, then the remaining holders equally share the dividends of the deceased if not disputed in a will. If 4 of the 5 dies, then the remaining 1 Patent holder gets 100% of the wealth of the patent. That remaining live Patent holder is Freescale Semiconductor. Who owns Freescale Semiconductor ?? Jacob Rothschild through Blackstone who owns Freescale. Here is your motive for the missing Beijing plane. As all 4 Chinese members of the Patent were passengers on the missing plane. Patent holders can alter the proceeds legally by passing wealth to their heirs. However, they cannot do so until the Patent is approved. So when the plane went missing, the patent had not been approved. Thus, Rothschild gets 100% of Patent once Patent holders declared deceased.”
The patent that got this online message started is this one, US 008671381, from March 11, 2014
“Well, aside from a few comments I’ve posted on Moon of Alabama, I’ve spent most of the time reading (when I’ve not been compiling) just about everything I could on the subject of the downing of Malaysian Airlines #MH17 and I think it’s pretty obvious that the Russians have been fitted up for this horrendous crime by the Kiev authorities (and possibly others) and, it must be said, they did a pretty bad job of it!”
July 24 – Plane missing over Algiers with over 110 on board. No all-day American news broadcasts over it. No blaming Russia. No passports strewn all around unscathed. No tv news fancy graphics, logos, maps, illustrious guests guessing etc.
“I wrote previously of a second great mystery surrounding the disappearance over the Indian Ocean of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, and that second great mystery is the United States’ utter silence surrounding its disappearance, despite its being the very nation able to offer the best information from the world’s most sophisticated radars and spy satellites. There can be no question that the United States gathered data on that catastrophe because its military and intelligence surveillance is unblinking. The fact that we did not hear a word from America, and still do not, can only mean its government wants the event, like the airplane itself, to sink, in this case into public forgetfulness.…”
” . . . . we’re looking at a new nuclear arms race. Russia moves these intermediate missiles now to protect its own borders, as the West comes toward Russia. And the tripwire for using these weapons is enormous. . . . “
Air accident investigators probing the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine published their first definitive account of the accident—drawing from analysis of the plane’s onboard cockpit and data recorders and other external sources—but coming to no new conclusions other than definitively statingthe plane was shot down.
Investigators said high-energy objects struck the Boeing BA +2.64% 777 and caused the plane to break apart midflight, consistent with the now-widely held view the plane was brought down by a sophisticated antiaircraft weapon, which would have detonated near the plane, showering it with shrapnel at close range….
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Russia’s U.N. ambassador cast doubt on the Netherlands-led investigation into the downing of a Malaysian Airlines jet over eastern Ukraine’s rebel territory and called Friday for a new probe assisted by the United Nations.
“… The two leaders played a round of Christmas Eve golf at the Marine Corps base in Kaneohe Bay, along with two of Obama’s aides.
The White House released a statement saying the duo “took the opportunity to discuss the growing and warming relationship between the United States and Malaysia,” and that the president looked forward to working with Najib next year, when Malaysia takes over the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations…”
An aide to the Malaysian prime minister and a lawmaker were killed after the helicopter they were traveling in crashed in the outskirts of the capital.
Azlin Alias, chief of staff to PM Najib Razak, and lawmaker Jamaluddin Jarjis were among six who lost their lives in the incident Saturday in Semenyih, just outside Kuala Lumpur, Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said in an e-mailed statement. The rest onboard were Jamaluddin’s bodyguard Razakan B. Seran, pilot Clifford William Fournier, operations assistant Aidana Baizieva and Tan Huat Seang, according to the statement.
“Deputy Assistant Commissioner Martin Hewitt told a news briefing that after reviewing the case, police believed the most likely explanation was that the death was an accident.”
Finally waking from my slumber, thanks to the alleged spying and disappearance of CIA/NSA agent Edward Snowden.

Seems he went missing with a lot of information that his handlers thought would interest the Chinese Ministry of State Security, not only its mass data mining of the messages of Americans but also its hacking of Chinese sites.
It was believed that Beijing would be happy to take the spy/leaker in, like Sweden was happy to take in leaker/spy David Hemler before the Palme assassination, and the Chinese were most happy to take in leaker/spy Gareth Williams after he learned of the Manhattan 11 fiasco.
While Hemler’s spying led nowhere, resulting in his languishing away in Sweden for all these years, Wlliams was discovered to be a massive problem, and was cruelly murdered by CIA and NSA.
Snowden seems to have been a leaker like Hemler, a leaker whose revelations did…
