“Then, the U.S. and West German spies sat back and listened. They monitored Iran’s mullahs during the 1979 hostage crisis, fed intelligence about Argentina’s military to Britain during the Falklands War, tracked the assassination campaigns of South American dictators and caught Libyan officials congratulating themselves on the 1986 bombing of a Berlin disco.” The intelligence coup of the century — Washington Post — Greg Miller (Feb. 11, 2020) “Your White House, specifically your national security adviser, constructed an operation whereby the free press in this country was going to be used to convey a false story to the world, namely that Qaddafi was planning new terrorist operations.” New York Times (October 3 1986) “There is a wonderful book that you might read… And the title of it is from a quote from Winston Churchill: ‘In time of war, the truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.’ ” Secretary of State George P. Shultz (October 3 1986) “Bernard Kalb resigned today as chief spokesman for Secretary of State George P. Shultz in protest of the government’s disinformation program directed at Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi. Los Angeles Times (Oct. 8, 1986)

In a piece published by the Washington Post on April 7 2017, Amber Phillips wrote that President Ronald Reagan’s 1986 bombing raid on Tripoli and Benghazi was retaliation for the 1988 attack on Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie. At the time, I would have bet the farm that this would be the most idiotic story ever reported by the WashPost. On February 11 2020, Greg Miller taught me a good lesson: ‘The worst is — always — yet to come.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

According to Greg Miller [The intelligence coup of the century — Washington Post (Feb. 11, 2020)], US President Ronald Reagan appears to have jeopardized the Crypto operation after Libya was implicated in the 1986 bombing of a West Berlin disco popular with American troops stationed in West Germany.

Two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman were killed as a result of the April 5 1986 bombing of the La Belle Discotheque.

“Reagan ordered retaliatory strikes against Libya ten days later. Among the reported victims was one of Gaddafi’s daughters. [Intel Today — Hana Gaddafi is doing quite well. She graduated from medical school. ] In an address to the country announcing the strikes, Reagan said the United States had evidence of Libya’s complicity that ‘is direct, it is precise, it is irrefutable.’ The evidence, Reagan said, showed that Libya’s embassy in East Berlin received orders to carry out the attack a week before it happened. Then, the day after the bombing, ‘they reported back to Tripoli on the great success of their mission.’ Reagan’s words made clear that Tripoli’s communications with its station in East Berlin had been intercepted and decrypted.”

There is problem. That story is simply not true. Noam Chomsky told me many years ago that Libya was not involved in this affair. [He got that inteligence from a German general who spoke to him after a conference.]

Without realizing it, Greg Miller makes it clear that the the bombing of the La Belle disco is a textbook False Flag Operation.

Like the CIA & the NSA, ‘Operation Rubicon’ provided German Intelligence Services with direct access to all Libyan communications.

And, in the aftermath of the 1986 bombing, various German officials stated very clearly that there was NO evidence of Libya involvement in this attack.

In case you wonder who may be responsible, I will share with you this piece of information.

Last year, a trusted source told me that the MOSSAD is almost certainly involved in this operation. The evidence the source showed me is very credible.

PS — For the record, I would like to make it clear that neither I, nor the source of this information, have ever pointed the finger at the MOSSAD before… even when most people do so as in the case of Gerald Bull’s assassination.

Bob Woodward: “Gadhafi Target of Secret U.S. Deception Plan” (Oct. 2 1986)

On October 2 1986, the Washington Post published an extraordinary story whiten by legendary journalist Bob Woodward: “Gadhafi Target of Secret U.S. Deception Plan”. Under orders from the White House, the US Intelligence Community was planting false information in the US media.

If you read this blog, chances are they you are familiar with the Iran-Contra Affair. At the same time, it is quite likely that you have never heard of a major US scandal that was running parallel to the Iran-Contra Operation.

The two operations were in fact two branches of a single policy. If the delivery of weapons to Iran was the “Carrot” part of the plan suggested in the 1985 “Fuller MEMORANDUM“, the disinformation regarding “Libyan terrorism” was the “Stick”.

I would argue that one must know and understand this ‘old story’ in order to understand past cases, such as the Lockerbie Affair, or current ones such as the nonsensical tale of the Salisbury Novichok attack.

Disinformation

Although, the word ‘disinformation’ was certainly used long before by English-speaking Intelligence Agencies (CIA, MI6), it did not appear in English dictionaries until the late 80s.

‘Disinformation’ first made an appearance in English dictionaries in 1985, specifically in the Webster’s New College Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary.

English use increased in 1986, after revelations that the Reagan Administration engaged in disinformation against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The facts are well documented. But as the world — and the US Congress — discovered with horror the Iran-Contra Affair, the “Libyan Scandal” was quickly forgotten.

There never was an investigation. And only one person resigned over this affair.

“Bernard Kalb resigned today (08 October 1986) as chief spokesman for Secretary of State George P. Shultz in protest of the government’s disinformation program directed at Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi. (…) He said his choice was to remain at the department and vanish into acquiescence or to quit in protest.” LA Times

TIMELINE

Here is the timeline/story of one of the major US scandals you probably never heard of.

08 January 1986

STATE DEPARTMENT REPORT IN LIBYA UNDER QADDAFI New York Times “Qaddafi has used terrorism as one of the primary instruments of his foreign policy and supports radical groups which use terrorist tactics.” The report lists the anti-US illegal activities of Libya in Europe, Africa, the near and far-east, Central and Latin America as well as direct threats against the US. The Reports specifically names the activities of Qaddafi in Nicaragua and his support for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command. The Report concludes : “Qaddafi has abused diplomatic privilege for terrorist purposes, reneged on international agreements and blatantly used terrorist violence against political opponents. In addition, Qaddafi’s support of terrorism, regardless of his direct operational involvement in a given terrorist act, helps legitimize terrorism as an acceptable political activity. “
