Russiagate: nog overtuigd van bestaan daarvan? Lees dit!

Het hele Russiagate verhaal, al een paar jaar door de reguliere media gebruikt als zijnde een voldongen feit, is als een kaartenhuis in elkaar gestort, nadat Mueller zijn onderzoek had afgerond. Echter de reguliere media geven niet toe dat ze een paar jaar lang fake news hebben gebracht en gebruikt als zijnde de waarheid, nee men doet net of de neus bloedt en stelt als de Democratische Partij en haar achterban dat er nog steeds een 'smoking gun' verstopt zit in het rapport van Mueller.....

Deze figuren vergeten voor het gemak dat Mueller Trump maar al te graag gepakt had voor vuil spel met de Russen...... Het feit dat Mueller expres bewijzen van het tegendeel heeft achtergehouden, interesseert die media niet eens, barbertje zal hangen.......

Waarom dan, vraag je je wellicht af, wel simpel: de democraten moesten hun zwaar misdadig gedrag verbergen, het stelen van de democratische voorverkiezingen van Bernie Sanders in 2016 door Clinton en haar team, Sanders destijds de andere democratische kandidaat voor het VS presidentschap......

Overigens was er nog een netelige kwestie voor hare kwaadaardigheid Clinton, die men liever uit de pers hield en dat was het telkens weer opduikende feit dat ze haar privé mail heeft gebruikt voor staatszaken, toen ze minister van BuZa was onder Obama, een periode waarin ze tevens 'opklom' tot volwaardig oorlogsmisdadiger........

Wat beter om e.e.a te bereiken, dus misdaden uit de pers houden, dan de Russen te beschuldigen van het hacken van de servers van het DNC, het campagneteam van Clinton....... Uiteraard zou de reguliere media van dit soort verhalen onmiddellijk in de alarmstand gaan staan en zou dat weken, zo niet maandenlang de voorpagina's van de kranten en de talkshows op tv beheersen......

Lees het volgende artikel van Kevin Gosztola, waarin hij verder ingaat op de smerige spellen die het Clinton team, de FBI, de CIA en zelfs de NSA hebben gespeeld. Verder noemt Gosztola de Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) die met een paar deskundigen e.e.a. hebben onderzocht waar de tijdschaal van een aantal gegevens niet kloppen, wat er op duit dat men (in de VS) heeft gerommeld met de computers.....

Uitermate vreemd ook dat de FBI de servers niet in beslag heeft genomen voor onderzoek, standaard in dergelijk onderzoek, maar zich op de hoogte heeft laten brengen door een door de Democratische Partij ingehuurd onderzoeksbureau..... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ja mensen ik geloofde m'n ogen niet toen ik dat onder ogen kreeg, ongelofelijk!!

Lees het volgende uitstekende artikel van Gosztola, waarin hij de zaken veel beter uit de doeken doet, dan ik hierboven heb getracht. Veiligheidgordels vast?

On WikiLeaks, Mueller Ignored Findings of Former US Intelligence Officials

April 20, 2019 at 10:38 am
Written by Kevin Gosztola

(SP— Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on an investigation into alleged Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election does not confirm, without a doubt, that Russian intelligence agents or individuals tied to Russian intelligence agencies passed on emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign to WikiLeaks.

Mueller’s team highlighted statements from WikiLeaks on Twitter about former Democratic National Committee (DNC) staff member Seth Rich, which seemed to relate to the alleged source of emails and documents the organization published. Yet, more explicit claims from WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange on the source of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta were not addressed in the report.

A group of former military and intelligence officials, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), conducted their own forensic tests that received a bit of attention in the United States press because they were some of the first people with prior backgrounds in government to question the central allegations of hacking into DNC servers. They asserted their examinations of the files showed DNC emails published by WikiLeaks were leaked, not hacked.

However, the Mueller report makes no mention of the claims made by VIPS over the past two to three years—not even to debunk them.

The report stated, “Unit 26165 officers appear to have stolen thousands of emails and attachments, which were later released by WikiLeaks in July 2016.” But “appear to have” indicates the team did not have incontrovertible proof. They could only speculate.

The Office cannot rule out that stolen documents were transferred to WikiLeaks through intermediaries, who visited during the summer of 2016,” the report acknowledged. “For example, public reporting identified Andrew Müller-Maguhn as a WikiLeaks associate who may have assisted with the transfer of these stolen documents to WikiLeaks.”

Yet, this is wildly misleading. The source for this example is a 2018 profile of Müller-Maguhn by journalist Ellen Nakashima that was published by the Washington Post. Müller-Maguhn told Nakashima it “would be insane” for him to hand deliver sensitive files, especially when the CIA has labeled WikiLeaks a “non-state hostile intelligence service.”

How many of you wouldn’t be scared shitless by the head of the CIA declaring you the next target?,” he said.

Müller-Maguhn, who met Assange through the Chaos Computer Club in 2007 and sits on the board of the Wau Holland foundation, characterized this allegation as a “lame attempt” by U.S. intelligence agencies to hurt the foundation so they cut off their tax-free donations to WikiLeaks in Europe.

Assange held a press conference in January 2017, where he responded to the intelligence community assessment on alleged Russian hacking. The media organization urged skepticism toward the assertion that publications of DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign emails were connected to alleged hacking operations.

Even if you accept that the Russian intelligence services hacked Democratic Party institutions, as it is normal for the major intelligence services to hack each others’ major political parties on a constant basis to obtain intelligence,” you have to ask, “what was the intent of those Russian hacks? And do they connect to our publications? Or is it simply incidental?” Assange said.

Assange accused U.S. intelligence agencies of deliberately obscuring the timeline. He said they did not know when the DNC was hacked.

The U.S. intelligence community is not aware of when WikiLeaks obtained its material or when the sequencing of our material was done or how we obtained our material directly. So there seems to be a great fog in the connection to WikiLeaks,” Assange declared.

He added, “As we have already stated, WikiLeaks sources in relation to the Podesta emails and the DNC leak are not members of any government. They are not state parties. They do not come from the Russian government.”

The [Clinton campaign] emails that we released during the election dated up to March [2016]. U.S. intelligence services and consultants for the DNC say Russian intelligence services started hacking DNC in 2015. Now, Trump is clearly not on the horizon in any substantial manner in 2015,” Assange additionally concluded.

There is a statement in the Mueller report that begins, “Although it is clear that the stolen DNC and Podesta documents were transferred from the GRU to WikiLeaks…” It cuts off there because the rest was redacted to supposedly protect an “investigative technique.” The formulation of the sentence definitely suggests the Mueller team made a statement reflecting doubts around what happened with WikiLeaks.
In early 2017, Assange was willing to “provide technical evidence and discussion regarding who did not engage in the DNC releases.” He also was willing—before the release of “Vault 7” materials—to help U.S. agencies address “clear flaws in security systems” that led the U.S. cyber weapons program to be compromised.

When Democratic Senator Mark Warner learned Justice Department official Bruce Ohr was negotiating some kind of a deal for limited immunity and a limited commitment from Assange, he urged Comey to intervene.

A potential deal with Assange was killed, the “Vault 7” files were eventually published, and no testimony was ever collected that would have helped the Mueller team gain a better understanding of what happened with the DNC and Clinton campaign email publications.

Bill Binney, former National Security Agency technical director for world geopolitical and military analysis and co-founder of NSA’s Signals Intelligence Automation Research
Center, conducted forensic examinations of the files posted by the Guccifer 2.0 persona as well as WikiLeaks. He was the principal author of multiple memos that significantly undermined key allegations. But no one from Mueller’s team ever contacted Binney or Ed Loomis, who also is a former technical director at NSA, to interview them about their findings.

In a published memo addressed to Attorney General Bill Barr, the steering group for VIPS, which includes Binney and Loomis, declared, “We have scrutinized publicly available physical data — the ‘trail’ that every cyber operation leaves behind. And we have had support from highly experienced independent forensic investigators who, like us, have no axes to grind. We can prove that the conventional-wisdom story about Russian-hacking-DNC-emails-for-WikiLeaks is false.”

Drawing largely on the unique expertise of two VIPS scientists who worked for a combined total of 70 years at the National Security Agency and became Technical Directors there, we have regularly published our findings. But we have been deprived of a hearing in mainstream media — an experience painfully reminiscent of what we had to endure when we exposed the corruption of intelligence before the attack on Iraq 16 years ago,” the group added.

The DNC files published by WikiLeaks, according to a forensic examination by VIPS, show data was “transferred to an external storage device, such as a thumb drive, before WikiLeaks posted them.”

VIPS drew this conclusion based on something called the File Allocation Table (FAT) system property. This is a “method of organization.” If the files were received as a hack, “the last modified times on the files would be a random mixture of odd-and-even-ending numbers.” However, the “last modified” time stamps for the WikiLeaks DNC files each end in even numbers.

We have examined 500 DNC email files stored on the Wikileaks site,” the memo indicated. “All 500 files end in an even number—2, 4, 6, 8 or 0. If those files had been hacked over the Internet, there would be an equal probability of the timestamp ending in an odd number. The random probability that FAT was not used is one chance in two to the 500th power. Thus, these data show that the DNC emails posted by WikiLeaks went through a storage device, like a thumb drive, and were physically moved before Wikileaks posted the emails on the World Wide Web.”

On the Podesta emails, Binney said the FAT file format was not introduced by WikiLeaks. The media organization did not have a standard procedure. But it still means the files were put on a removable storage device or CD-ROM, physically transported, and then posted.

The former officials additionally claim the Guccifer 2.0 persona published a document that was “synthetically tainted with ‘Russian fingerprints.’” Primarily, they assert this because the Guccifer 2.0 data was transferred with an Internet connection speed faster than what is possible from remote online Internet connections. The transfer rate was “as high as 49.1 megabytes per second,” which coincided with “the rate that copying onto a thumb drive could accommodate.”

As part of the “Vault 7” materials published by WikiLeaks on March 31, 2017, the media organization revealedthe Marble Framework. This was described as a tool for hampering “forensic investigators and anti-virus companies from attributing viruses, trojans, and hacking attacks to the CIA.”

The source code shows that Marble has test examples not just in English but also in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi,” WikiLeaks described. “This would permit a forensic attribution double game, for example, by pretending that the spoken language of the malware creator was not American English, but Chinese, but then showing attempts to conceal the use of Chinese, drawing forensic investigators even more strongly to the wrong conclusion—but there are other possibilities, such as hiding fake error messages.”

VIPS contends that whoever engaged in the activity referred to as “Russian hacking” actually used an obfuscator to make it seem like the Russians were responsible.

The timestamps we were getting from Guccifer internally in the data were showing places like east coast in the U.S. and the central time in the U.S. Also one in the west coast. So the time stamping isn’t there for being anywhere outside the U.S.,” Binney told Shadowproof.” “[But] once you have a fabricator, you have to find some way of proving everything about him, and you know we can’t really prove that that’s not also a fabrication.”

The Mueller report, however, does not contemplate the possibility that someone or a group potentially used a special tool, similar to what the CIA employs, in order to obfuscate their acts.

Most of the technical assertions around what happened with Democratic Party computers or servers are not backed up so that a person could research the claims and validate them. On the other hand, Binney points out that is not the case with VIPS claims.

The stuff we looked at is out there on the web for everybody to go look and verify for themselves,” Binney said. “The stuff they’re talking about we don’t even see. How can you have any confidence in anything like that, especially when they don’t address the things you can see and anybody can go look at it?”

Furthermore, former FBI director James Comey said “multiple requests” were made at “different levels” for access to Democratic servers. Ultimately, these servers, or computers, that were allegedly targeted were not taken by the FBI for their own forensic examination. They relied on the conclusions of an in-house cyber-response team working for the Democrats known as CrowdStrike.

Where the Mueller report stated the FBI “later received images of DNC servers and copies of relevant traffic logs,” they were most likely referring to the material that CrowdStrike handed over for the investigation.

Our forensics folks would always prefer to get access to the original device or server that’s involved, so it’s the best evidence,” Comey admitted during a Senate intelligence committee hearing. And yet, the FBI allowed the Democratic Party to rebuff their request for access.

It’s like you’re denying. You don’t want to get the firsthand evidence because then you’ll have it, and you’ll have to address it,” Binney suggested.

He added, “You can’t say the words. You have to put down the raw data that says this is why I’m saying that, and they’re not doing that.”

***
There is good reason to demand that the Mueller team show their work. Many of these same intelligence agency officials that made claims, which form the narrative for “Russiagate,” work for agencies that fabricated intelligence around so-called weapons of mass destruction in Iraq back in 2002.

Binney and Loomis, along with Thomas Drake and Kirk Wiebe, were part of the NSA Four. They were falsely accused in 2007 of leaking. As journalist Timothy Shorrock detailed, they “endured years of legal harassment for exposing the waste and fraud behind a multibillion-dollar contract for a system called Trailblazer, which was supposed to ‘revolutionize’ the way the NSA produced signals intelligence (SIGINT) in the digital age.”

According to Binney, the government backed away from targeting them because they could show the government was engaged in a malicious prosecution. Agency officials immediately tried to “confiscate everything” on their computers and fabricated allegations for a federal judge.
But they had backed up all their data and could prove they were facing retaliation for their work. (Drake was later the target of an Espionage Act prosecution cooked up by the Justice Department.)

The claims made by VIPS members are easy to reject because they do not fit into the dominant narrative around what happened with the 2016 presidential election, but former U.S. Army infantry/intelligence officer & CIA presidential briefer Ray McGovern believes Binney and Loomis ought to be taken much more seriously because they helped perfect the very systems that the government relies upon to draw technical conclusions.

When you have people like that, they deserve a modicum of trust,” McGovern argued. “When you have these people, who have absolutely no suspicion or no secret agenda, who are indisputably the best experts in this area,” even if you don’t understand every detail, you ought to seriously consider what they say.

Finally, because of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, McGovern said the NSA would have any evidence of hacking as a result of “dragnet coverage.” If Russia hacked, “where’s the intercepts” they should have?

Binney conversely argued it cannot be NSA data that the Mueller team relied upon to draw conclusions about Guccifer and WikiLeaks. “The NSA data, once they collect data, it’s classified.
The only person that can expose classified material in the public and authorize that is the president. No one else is authorized to do that. So, if [Rod] Rosenstein and Mueller are doing that from NSA data, then they’re compromising classified information, which is a felony.”

It’s obvious that that’s not NSA data. It is data from a third-party. It’d very likely be CrowdStrike or somebody like that,” Binney added. “Any rate, it is tainted material. They’ve never had continuous control of that information.”

The vast majority of the press throughout the world will dismiss the work of VIPS. It is quite easy because it clashes terribly with the convenient narrative that intelligence agencies and powerful elites deployed. It undermines the claims that WikiLeaks is a media organization that was compromised during the 2016 election by Russian intelligence. It fuels the notion that the Mueller team suffered from confirmation bias and then sought to find details that confirmed what intelligence agencies concluded in 2017. Anything conflicting was to be dismissed or discarded.

Yet, a review of the “Russian Hacking and Dumping Operations” does not contain much more than circumstantial evidence and speculation about WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0., leaving many valid questions about the timeline of events unanswered.

One small concession for Assange may be Attorney General Bill Barr’s statement that can apply to WikiLeaks as much as individuals who worked for the Trump campaign. “Under applicable law, publication of these types of materials would not be criminal unless the publisher also participated in the underlying hacking conspiracy.”

While Democrats push for the Justice Department to add further charges against Assange and extradite him to the United States for publishing Clinton campaign and DNC emails, this points to the reality that the Justice Department would have to prove WikiLeaks was involved in stealing or hacking the materials.

With the national security apparatus so invested in this “Russiagate” narrative, they probably do not want to graft on additional charges relating to the election that would allow Assange to make discovery requests that would potentially poke additional holes in their preferred theory of events.

Russiagate gelovigen krijgen nieuwe klap: WikiLeaks kreeg de DNC mails van een klokkenluider, niet van Rusland.....

De kop dekt zo ongeveer wel het hieronder opgenomen artikel van InformationClearing House, geschreven door Ray McGovern. Niets nieuws in feite anders dan het bestaande nieuws van de afgelopen jaren dat er geen bewijzen kunnen worden geleverd voor de leugens die ons dag in dag uit over Russische manipulaties door de reguliere westerse massamedia en politiek door de strot worden geduwd.......

Michael Cohen die waarschijnlijk voor vele jaren achter het gaas moet, durfde vorige week te stellen dat hij weliswaar geen directe bewijzen heeft van het samenspannen van Trump met de Russen, maar dat hij dit kon opmaken uit de houding van Trump en de manier waarop deze keek als hij iets vroeg of stelde....... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Let wel beste bezoeker: Cohen zou een jurist zijn.... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Trump en zijn oorlogszuchtige roverskliek zouden moeten worden afgezet, maar niet op de belachelijke grond dat hij zou hebben samengespannen met de Russen, zijn andere strapatsen zijn zwaar genoeg om hem af te zetten! Echter daar willen de democraten niet over lullen, daar hen dat niet goed uitkomt en ze ondanks alles achter het buitenland (terreur-) beleid van de VS staan....... Ook in dat beleid is al genoeg te vinden voor het afzetten van psychopaat Trump......

Ongelofelijk dat de reguliere westerse massamedia die zo'n grote bek hebben over fake nieuws en Russische manipulaties, niet het fatsoen hebben om het hele Russiagate verhaal, waar zoals gezegd geen millimeter aan bewijs voor is, eens echt goed te ontleden..... Immers er is meer dan voldoende bewijs voor misdadig handelen door het campagneteam* van oorlogsmisdadiger Hillary Clinton, die onderzoek wist af te wentelen, middels het spuien van valse anti-Russische propaganda en hen de schuld van het lekken van de mails in de schoenen te schuiven..... 

De Russen, zouden deze mails, waaruit misdadig handelen van Clinton en haar team blijkt, hebben doorgezonden naar WikiLeaks, een leugen van formaat...... Niet voor niets is er na meer dan 2 jaar tijd geen flinter aan bewijs geleverd voor deze leugen (nogmaals het gaat in werkelijkheid om mails die aantoonden dat Clinton de voorverkiezingen van de Democratische partij voor het presidentschap in 2016 op een heel smerige manier heeft gestolen van Bernie Sanders en niet om het manipuleren van de verkiezingen door de Russen.......)

Zoals gezegd geen nieuws, zo was al veel eerder bekend dat Seth Rich, een medewerker van het Clinton campagneteam de mails lekte naar WikiLeaks, dit uit frustratie over het stelen van de voorverkiezingen door Clinton....** 

Sorry, Russia-gaters; WikiLeaks Got the DNC Emails From Insider, not Russia
By Ray McGovern



VIPSers Binney & Johnson*** use the forensics that the FBI avoided doing. http://theduran.com/why-the-dnc-was-not-hacked-by-the-russians/?mc_cid=ed71b42640&mc_eid=913e2dde99


March 02, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - Thinking back, President Barack Obama dropped a huge hint two days before he left office, using his last press conference to point out that the “conclusions of the intelligence community” regarding how WikiLeaks received the DNC emails were “inconclusive.”  The nerve!  Daring to say that just 13 days after the U.S. intelligence Gang of Four briefed Obama up and down on their evidence-free “assessment” that WikiLeaks got the DNC emails via a Russian hack.

This was one time Obama summoned the courage to face down James (the-Russians-are-almost-genetically-driven-to-deceive) Clapper and other intelligence chiefs.  After all, Obama is a lawyer.  He “does evidence.”  In contrast, ex-CIA Director John Brennan, told Congress that he does not “do evidence.”

Back in the day, the intelligence community “did evidence.”  As soon as the evidence-impoverished “Intelligence Community Assessment” was published on January 6, 2017, members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) smelled a rat.  That same day, former NSA Technical Director William Binney and Ray published “The Dubious Case on Russian Hacking,” [ https://consortiumnews.com/2017/01/06/the-dubious-case-on-russian-hacking/  ].

Then came “The Gaping Holes of Russia-gate,”
https://consortiumnews.com/2017/05/20/the-gaping-holes-of-russia-gate/  ], and in July 2017 VIPS published their key forensic-based study “Intel Vets Challenge ‘Russian Hack’ Evidence,”
https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-russia-hack-evidence/ ], followed by “More Holes in the Russia-gate Narrative.”
https://consortiumnews.com/2017/09/20/more-holes-in-russia-gate-narrative/ ], by Binney and Ray.

Even Michael Cohen admitted yesterday that he had no “direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia.” But, he added, “I have my suspicions.”  We intelligence analysts, back in the day, did not “do suspicions.”

There are 1,001 other reasons to impeach President Donald Trump, if Nancy Pelosi had the courage.  But politics, not the Constitution, reigns supreme in the people’s House to which Founders bestowed an orderly political process to get rid of such a president.  Shame on them all.

Ray came to Washington from his native Bronx in the early Sixties as an Army infantry/intelligence officer and then served as a CIA analyst for 27 years, from the administration of John F. Kennedy to that of George H. W. Bush. Ray’s duties included chairing National Intelligence Estimates and preparing the President’s Daily Brief, which he briefed one-on-one to President Ronald Reagan’s five most senior national security advisers from 1981 to 1985. http://raymcgovern.com

Veteranen waarschuwen Trump voor desastreuze gevolgen in geval van oorlog tegen Iran

Veteranen verenigd in de VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity) hebben VS president Trump de waarschuwing gestuurd, vooral géén oorlog met Iran aan te gaan.

Ze wijzen daarbij o.a. op de desastreuze illegale oorlog die de VS in 2003 tegen Irak begon (een oorlog die in feite nog steeds voortduurt en aan meer dan 1,5 miljoen mensen het leven heeft gekost.....). Terwijl de zogenaamde bewijzen voor een voortdurend nucleair programma van Iran nog veel zwakker in elkaar steken, dan de 'bewijzen' die de VS destijds aan de wereld toonde aangaande Iraakse massavernietigingswapens.......

De bedenkers van die oorlog, Cheney, Rumsfeld en Bush (hoewel de laatste min of meer een als marionet fungeerde) en andere oorlogsmisdadigers, stelden later dat er een vergissing was gemaakt wat betreft de inlichtingen........ Daar wijzen deze 'veteranen' in hun brief aan Trump nu ook op: het was een willens en wetens in elkaar gedraaid lulverhaal om Irak aan te kunnen vallen (en zo controle te krijgen over de olie- en gasvelden in Irak...).....

De informatie die nu voorhanden is over het atoomprogramma van Iran, komt zelfs uit de koker van de CIA en is al eens als waardeloos beoordeeld. Het gaat hier om dezelfde informatie die Netanyahu gebruikte toen hij stelde dat Iran ondanks de Iran-deal toch nog steeds op weg was een kernwapen te fabriceren........

Lees de brief die deze 'veteranen' aan Trump hebben gestuurd en geeft het door! Nog steeds doet men (in de politiek en de media, ook in Nederland) maar al te graag of er voldoende reden was om Irak ('van Saddam Hoessein') aan te vallen, zelfs na 1,5 miljoen doden en een land dat grotendeels in puin ligt........ Tja, als deze media toegeven dat ze helemaal fout zaten, zouden ze in feite toegeven 'fake news' ('nepnieuws') te hebben gebracht, zoals daadwerkelijk gebeurde (en dat op zeer grote schaal!).......

Overigens heeft de Trump administratie aangeboden te praten met Iran, maar wel met van te voren door Iran te nemen acties, waarop Iran uiteraard 'de boot heeft afgehouden..'**

VIPS to Trump:  Intel on Iran Could be CATASTROPHIC

August 1, 2018





As drums beat again for war — this time on Iran—-the VIPS’ warning is again being disregarded as it was before the Iraq debacle and this time VIPS fear the consequences will be all-caps CATASTROPHIC. 

August 1, 2018

MEMORANDUM FOR: The President

FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)

SUBJECT: 
Intelligence on Iran Fails the Smell Test

Mr. President:

As the George W. Bush administration revved up to attack Iraq 15 years ago, we could see no compelling reason for war.  We decided, though, to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt on the chance he had been sandbagged by Vice President Dick Cheney and others.  We chose to allow for the possibility that he actually believed the “intelligence” that Colin Powell presented to the UN as providing “irrefutable and undeniable” proof of WMD in Iraq and a “sinister nexus” between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.

To us in VIPS it was clear, however, that the “intelligence” Powell adduced was bogus.  Thus, that same afternoon (Feb. 5, 2003) we prepared and sent to President Bush a Memorandum like this one, urging him to seek counsel beyond the “circle of those advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling reason and from which we believe the unintended consequences are likely to be catastrophic.”

We take no satisfaction at having been correct — though disregarded — in predicting the political and humanitarian disaster in Iraq. Most Americans have been told the intelligence was “mistaken.” It was not; it was out-and-out fraud, in which, sadly, some of our former colleagues took part.

Five years after Powell’s speech, the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee minced few words in announcing the main bipartisan finding of a five-year investigation. He said:  “In making the case for war, the Administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even non-existent.  As a result, the American people were led to believe that the threat from Iraq was much greater than actually existed.”

Iran Now in Gunsight

As drums beat again for a military attack — this time on Iran, we Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity and other experienced, objective analysts are, by all appearances, being disregarded again.  And, this time, we fear the consequences will be all-caps CATASTROPHIC — in comparison with the catastrophe of Iraq.

In memoranda to you over the past year and a half we have pointed out that (1) Iran’s current support for international terrorism is far short of what it was decades ago; and (2) that you are being played by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims about Iran’ they are based on intelligence exposed as fraudulent several years ago.  Tellingly, Netanyahu waited for your new national security adviser to be in place for three weeks before performing his April 30 slide show alleging that Iran has a covert nuclear weapons program.  On the chance that our analysis of Netanyahu’s show-and-tell failed to reach you, please know that the Israeli prime minister was recycling information from proven forgeries, which we reported in a Memorandum to you early last spring.

If our Memorandum of May 7 fell through some cracks in the West Wing, here are its main findings:

The evidence displayed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on April 30 in what he called his “Iranian atomic archive” showed blatant signs of fabrication. That evidence is linked to documents presented by the Bush Administration more than a decade earlier as “proof” of a covert Iran nuclear weapons program. Those documents were clearly fabricated, as well.

In our May 7, 2018 Memorandum we also asserted: “We can prove that the actual documents originally came not from Iran but from Israel. Moreover, the documents were never authenticated by the CIA or the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).”

Iran: Almost Targeted in 2008

There was a close brush with war with Iran a decade ago.  Bush and Cheney, in close consultation with Israel, were planning to attack Iran in 2008, their last year in office.  Fortunately, an honest National Intelligence Estimate of November 2007 concluded that Iran had stopped working on a nuclear weapon in 2003, and that key judgment was made public.  Abruptly, that NIE stuck an iron rod into the wheels of the juggernaut then speeding downhill to war.

The key judgment that Iran had stopped work on a nuclear weapon was the result of the painstakingly deliberative process that was customarily used, back in the day, to produce an NIE. After that process — which took a full year —  the Nov. 2007 NIE was was approved unanimously by all U.S. intelligence agencies.

(In other words, it was decidedly NOT a rump “assessment” like the one cobbled together in a couple of weeks by “handpicked” analysts from three selected, agenda-laden agencies regarding Russian meddling. We refer, of course, to the evidence-impoverished and deceptively labeled “Intelligence Community Assessment” that the directors of the FBI, CIA, and NSA gave you on January 6, 2017. The Defense Intelligence Agency and the State Department intelligence bureau were among the other 13 agencies excluded from that “Intelligence Community Assessment.”)

As for the Bush/Cheney plans for attacking Iran in 2008, President George W. Bush, in his autobiography, Decision Points, recorded his chagrin at what he called the NIE’s “eye-popping” intelligence finding debunking the conventional wisdom that Iran was on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon.  Bush added plaintively, “How could I possibly explain using the military to destroy the nuclear facilities of a country the intelligence community said had no active nuclear weapons program?”

Mr. President, we do not know whether a fresh National Intelligence Estimate has been produced on Iran and nuclear weapons — or, if one has been produced, whether it is as honest as the NIE of Nov. 2007, which helped prevent the launch of another unnecessary war the following year.  We stand on our record.  In sum, if you believe that there is credible evidence that Iran has an active secret nuclear weapons program, we believe you have been misled.  And if you base decisions on misleading “intelligence” on Iran, the inevitable result will be a great deal worse than the Bush/Cheney debacle in Iraq.
