U.S. Mercenary Group Carried Out San Bernardino Attack: Says former NSA and CIA Contractor

The San Bernardino killing has become more than controversial and already many are questioning the FBI and US official stance on the killing. Already people are questioning the pictures of a handcuffed man lying dead, claimed to be the shooter.

The official narrative is that last Wednesday, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, stormed a holiday party in San Bernardino, California, shooting and killing 14 people and injuring 21 others. This marks the deadliest mass shooting in the US in three years.

However, a Steven D Kelley, former NSA and CIA contractor is of the opinion that he has to come clean about the San Bernardino shooting, which he says did not happen the way the media and law enforcement are claiming.

Instead of the couple of Pakistani original, Steven D Kelley say mercenaries from the Craft International, a tactical training company for the US military, are the ones who carried out a “false flag operation” in San Bernardino, California.

Kelley said in an interview with Iran’s Press TV on Tuesday that the San Bernardino shooting “is just one in a long string of false flag events that I am afraid to say are not over.”

Most of UFOs sighted in 50s ad 60s were CIA test crafts

Screen shot of San Antonio, Texas 'UFO' sighting

Finally the secret is out - CIA has admitted that most of the UFO sightings in the 50s and 60s were linked to testing of U-2 spy planes.

The U-2 spy planes, capable of flyinng over 60,000 feet were basically designed to reccointer the then USSR air space. It may be recalled that in 1960, the Soviet Union shot down a plane that was trying to enter the Soviet Union by going to Pakistan's air space to Norway's air space.

'In the mid-1950s, most commercial airliners flew at altitudes between 10,000 and 20,000 feet and [many] military aircraft…operated at altitudes below 40,000 feet. 

U-2 spy plane

Consequently, once U-2s started flying at altitudes above 60,000 feet, air-traffic controllers began receiving increasing numbers of UFO reports, ‘the document continues.

Russia reveals CIA's Moscow station chief identity

In what is being seen as a breach of diplomatic protocol, Russia has disclosed the name of the Moscow's CIA station chief identity.

It follows Moscow's decision to expel US diplomat Ryan Fogle, who was accused of trying to recruit a Russian intelligence officer as a spy.

Mr Fogle, a purported CIA agent, was arrested on Tuesday while wearing a blond wig and was briefly detained. Russia said Mr Fogle was caught while trying to recruit an FSB counter-terrorism agent in the Caucasus.

Russia says it warned the CIA Moscow station chief in 2011 to stop the "provocative" recruitment of spies.

Mr Fogle is said to have been a third secretary at the US embassy in Moscow. He has been declared "persona non grata" for what the Russian foreign ministry called "provocative actions in the spirit of the Cold War".

MI6 and CIA 'knew' before invasion that Iraq had no active WMD

In a new development, the lies of the British and USA governments' claims come to forth which misled the UN and the world and making everyone believe that Iraq had WMDs - where as in reality Iraq had none and Bush and Blair knew it.

It may be recalled thta the then British Prime Minister Tony Blair told parliament before the war that intelligence showed Iraq's nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons programme was "active", "growing" and "up and running".

Now fresh evidence is revealed Monday about how MI6 and the CIA were told through secret channels by Saddam Hussein's foreign minister and his head of intelligence that Iraq had no active weapons of mass destruction.

The evidence now shows that Naji Sabri, Saddam's foreign minister, told the CIA's station chief in Paris at the time, Bill Murray, through an intermediary that Iraq had "virtually nothing" in terms of WMD.

Panorama in its report confirms that three months before the war an MI6 officer met Iraq's head of intelligence, Tahir Habbush al-Tikriti, who also said that Saddam had no active WMD. The meeting in the Jordanian capital, Amman, took place days before the British government published its now widely discredited Iraqi weapons dossier in September 2002.

Lord Butler, the former cabinet secretary who led an inquiry into the use of intelligence in the runup to the invasion of Iraq, tells the programme that he was not told about Sabri's comments, and that he should have been.

Butler says of the use of intelligence: "There were ways in which people were misled or misled themselves at all stages."

Panorama says it asked for an interview with Blair but he said he was "too busy".

Obama in limbo over naming a new Spy Chief

The sudden vacation of CIA Spy Chief post by General Petraeus has put the american president Obama in limbo as there seems no perfect choice to select one from the long list of the eligible.

There is no single, slam-dunk choice for his former job, intelligence community insiders say. Some contenders have long ties to the agency but lack the throw-weight on Capitol Hill or a history with Obama’s tight-knit White House team. Others are wired on the Hill and at the White House but would have to win over the trust of the CIA’s executive corps and rank and file.

Still others might run into roadblocks in the confirmation process.

-->

“Given how [Petraeus] left, the first and single most important quality is someone who’s what I’d call bulletproof in terms of confirmation,” said Bush administration homeland security adviser Fran Townsend. “Not somebody who’s never been confirmed before or somebody who is in any way vulnerable to a confirmation fight … someone who has filled out all the forms and been through this process.”

The alleged affair was uncovered after the FBI launched an investigation into the biographer, Paula Broadwell, for allegedly hacking into the former general's email, NBC News and Slate reported.

Broadwell, who researched the book 'All In' for three years, had extensive access to Petraeus in Afghanistan. Yet sources told NBC it is unlikely she will face criminal charges after the alleged hacking, stressing that Petraeus himself is under no investigation. 

Petraeus stepped down today after confessing to cheating on his wife of 37 years, Holly - behaviour he explained was 'unacceptable' for a senior administration official.

CIA seeks to expand drone fleet

The CIA is urging the White House to approve a significant expansion of the agency’s fleet of armed drones, a move that would extend the spy service’s decade-long transformation into a paramilitary force, U.S. officials said.

The proposal by CIA Director David H. Petraeus would bolster the agency’s ability to sustain its campaigns of lethal strikes in Pakistan and Yemen and enable it, if directed, to shift aircraft to emerging al-Qaeda threats in North Africa or other trouble spots, officials said.

-->

If approved, the CIA could add as many as 10 drones, the officials said, to an inventory that has ranged between 30 and 35 over the past few years.

Ex-CIA Analyst 'explains' why Israel wants to Strike Iran before US Election

For months senior Israeli officials have said the "window of opportunity" for attacking Iran's nuclear facilities is "before the U.S. presidential election in November" because Iran's nuclear facilities will soon be in fortified underground bunkers out of the reach of Israeli bombs. 

But former CIA analyst Ray McGovern believes that delaying Iran's nuclear capabilities is not the primary concern of a military strike, but simply the pretext.

"The Israelis want to pretend the Iranians are building up their nuclear capabilities, want to zap them between now and November 6, and the chances are at least even that they will try to do that thinking the U.S. will come in with both feet," McGovern told us.

Pakistan's ISI chief Lt Gen Zahir-ul-Islam will visit Washington from August 1 to 3 to hold talks with his CIA counterpart David Petraeus, the first meeting between the spy chiefs amidst persisting tensions between the two countries.

CIA Has Been Sending Stealth Drones Deep Into Iran For Years

The RQ-170 Sentinel drone lost over Iran late last year was not the United State's first foray into Iran with the stealth UAV, and the Sentinel was not simply plying the northern border of Afghanistan as officials have maintained.

The doomed flight, where the Iranians claim they brought down the drone electronically, and the U.S. says it went down due to a malfunction, was simply the most recent reconnaissance mission deep into Iran by the CIA in the three years since the missions began.

CIA likely to resume drone strikes

[ via The Express Tribune ] 9 Jan

America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is likely to resume the drone campaign that it had apparently called off following a deadly Nato airstrike on Pakistani border posts in the Mohmand tribal region on November 26, 2011.

CIA has suspended drone attacks in Pakistan, U.S. officials say

[ via Los Angeles Times ] 23 Dec

The collateral damage is much more than the claimed kill results

In an effort to mend badly frayed relations with Pakistan, the CIA has suspended drone missile strikes on gatherings of low-ranking militants believed to be involved in cross-border attacks on U.S. troops or facilities in Afghanistan, current and former U.S. officials say.

The undeclared halt in CIA attacks, now in its sixth week, is aimed at reversing a sharp erosion of trust after a series of deadly incidents, including the mistaken attack by U.S. gunships that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last month.

Some State Department officials insist that airstrikes on low-level militants now hurt U.S. interests in Pakistan more than they help.
