G , here is my take on the CV op .
Your articles , especially the one today are excellent .
Sad thing is that few are capable of accepting much truth ever so most goes on deaf ears since you have burst many false hopes in T and most can not live without hope , they would rather believe a lie and feel better .

There were 5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , CIA , and RFK ’ s secret agent , Oswald who was sent to infiltrate Op40 to stop the plot but was instead set up and prepped as patsy wit the other 4 .

Yes , many things went wrong , but the company had many ways to fix it all .
For example the JFK Assassination was run by ( XXX redacted name of former president ) for Ed Lansdale , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LBJ , and Nixon ( who started OP40 for President Eisenhower ) .
The operations in Dallas were run out of LBJ ’ s lawyers Law firm building on the top floor where the archives reside even to this very day .
There were two teams , Team A on one floor and Team B on another floor ( retired CIA , retired Army Intel , and retired FBI ) all paid for with cemetery style “ perpetuity funds ” .
Team A produced ghost written books that Oswald did it like they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into cooperating–and Team B released actual facts proving the USG did it using the 5 eyes system and the mafia .
There were over 200 Intel operatives and hitmen in Dealey Plaza photographed that day to provide many false leads to keep researchers arguing forever .

G, here is my take on the CV op. Your articles, especially the one today are excellent. Sad thing is that few are capable of accepting much truth ever, so most goes on deaf ears since you have burst many false hopes in T, and most cannot live without hope, they would rather believe a lie and feel better.
Years ago I was briefed by several high ranking former Intel who knew how these ops were conducted. The most surprising part was that the cover up teams are usually comprised of two or more divergent units, designed to create confusion and prevent anyone from really understanding the ops.
I used to know somebody that trained with OP40 shooters and refused to go to Dealey Plaza where he was told he would be protecting the President. He was afraid they would set him up as a patsy. Same for Marita Lorenz (Castro’s girlfriend and the mother of his son), except she went in the two car caravan, but left the morning of the assassination because she wanted no part of it.
There were 5 including US Army Intel, Naval Intel, CIA, and RFK’s secret agent, Oswald who was sent to infiltrate Op40 to stop the plot but was instead set up and prepped as patsy with the other 4. Tippet was actually supposedly shot by FBI man Liddy according to one insider for not shooting Oswald as ordered. Yes, many things went wrong, but the company had many ways to fix it all.
For example the JFK Assassination was run by (XXX redacted name of former president) for Ed Lansdale, Ted Shackley, Allan Dulles, President LBJ, and Nixon (who started OP40 for President Eisenhower). The operations in Dallas were run out of LBJ’s lawyer’s Law firm building on the top floor, where the archives reside even to this very day.
There were two teams, Team A on one floor and Team B on another floor (retired CIA, retired Army Intel, and retired FBI) all paid for with cemetery style “perpetuity funds”. Team A produced ghost written books that Oswald did it like they did for Norman Mailer who they blackmailed into cooperating–and Team B released actual facts proving the USG did it using the 5 eyes system and the mafia.
There were over 200 Intel operatives and hitmen in Dealey Plaza photographed that day to provide many false leads to keep researchers arguing forever. Ruby had worked for Nixon but did not shoot Oswald; it was an FBI man, no frontal photo exists. Ruby was coerced into playing along. The Chicago Mafia had threatened to kill his two little dachshund dogs whom he loved like children. I was told this by the lady that rented her beauty shop from him where he had an office in the back, in addition to his Carousel Club bar lounge strip joint where the Dallas cops hung out and got free drinks.
For those that have a very deep knowledge of the actual design and deployment of bioweapons, covert operations such as the various tests conducted in a number of American cities during the cold war (in my town, San Francisco, LA, NYC, Miami, and Cuba during the Secret War), they understand how these were done.
Thousands of cases of cancer were from radiation (why we know so much about dirty bombs) which also had highly toxic cadmium sprayed with it. This was finally admitted in public hearings Bill Clinton allowed when he was president, and he personally apologized to all victims.
I was briefed on some of these ops done against Cuba by Bradley Ayers (xxx redactions). He wrote a book about some of this. He never signed any confidentiality agreement because the white ghost, Ted Shackley his boss at the company, forgot to have him do it.
Biological agents were seeded in Castro’s soap, toothpaste, into dispensed fleas; and many ops like special bacteria and viruses in pigs. And on one occasion, in his cigar by Marita Lorenz, whom he had a child with according to Jimmy Boots who was a close friend of hers and who saved her life when Frank Sturgis (Frank Fiorini–fellow OP 40 man) went to NYC to terminate her when she was subpoenaed to testify at the HSCA, which she was able to do.
Many creative infection vectors were selected by the Technical Services Division. I knew a man, an attorney who was very close friends with the head of the TSD who I learned a lot from.
Ops were usually divided into separate teams that were kept completely compartmented, especially in later years. You had the planning/design team. Then you had the deployment teams also separated from each other. Then you have the media teams for coverup ops who were experts at constructing many different conflicting confusing plausible cover stories, some designed to appeal to conspiracy oriented members of the public and others to appear to habitual deniers that the govt could ever do anything wrong.
In NYC, these ops involve breaking bacterial and viral filled light-bulbs in the subways to infect the public with supposedly harmless test viruses. In at least one case, many died, and this was completely covered up.
In xxxxxx low level radiation was sprayed in neighborhoods and heavily in one High School, where every student exposed was sterile for life supposedly. Urine samples were taken from local doctors’ offices, and blood samples from labs for analysis.
I believe that this is either a Miltel op of the US ARMY at Fort Huachuca, or a joint CIA/Mossad op wherein CV is being randomly added to xxxredacted covertly. To me this is the only way that a wide variety of groups of types of infections occur. Adding these viral fragments to xxxxxxx randomly would explain the infection clusters. We know from Icelandic medical researchers that they found about 40 different varieties of CV-19, most fairly harmless and only a few serious.
Now they are going to expand the op by going after the children in order to accentuate the op and upset folks the most. This was always part of the plan. It is all designed to destroy the old through generation of massive chaos, in order for their long desired Globalist NWO one-world satanic government to emerge. They have probably been randomly adding various serious strains of the CV-19 to prescription drugs given mostly older folks and some insulin too. This creates the clusters and makes it hard to understand infection routes. There are numerous well developed immediate cures for this CV-19, which responds to anti-parisitical agents like Ivermectin.
When the ZCabal controls all the mainstream media for the last 50+ years, it is easy to completely mind-kontrol all through generating the reality they need to implement their Globalist NWO one-world satanic govt.
Most money is always spent on the coverup, and the whole thing is run, planned and paid for by pure hard core Satanists, who are required to disclose this by masked display of the number sequence 666. Few know this.


veteranstoday--2020-09-13--Link University, CIA’s Agents Factory in Rome amidst Scandals: Easy Degrees for Cops & Shady Affairs

Senior army officers , national intelligence officials , CIA analysts and even Israeli cyber experts .
These are the teachers who train the students at Link Campus University in Rome .
Especially in the exclusive Master in Intelligence and Security intended on paper for future managers of national authorities and agencies , employees of the arms industry , scholars of geopolitics and strategic affairs but in fact a real “ forge ” of 007 agents ready to be recruited by the Italian secret services , by the military ones of NATO or by the American Central Intelligence Agency for an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the coordinating authority of HUMINT ( human intelligence ) .
Who has heard of the book “ Spy Schools : How the CIA , FBI and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America ’ s Universities ( Henry Holt and Company ) ” by investigative journalist Daniel Golden on how CIA & co. exploit the US universities in particular in the Kennedy School of the prestigious Harward University he will not be surprised to know that also in Italy a training center for spies was born under the screen of a university .
Too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with its Roman headquarters in via del Casale di San Pio V and about 1800 students enrolled ( 2017 data ) , also attended by the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio of the 5 Star Movement , in recent months it has come under investigation for many alleged malpractice which confirm the old adage that “ the wolf loses its fur but not the vice ” and goes far beyond the well-known story of the Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud .
This Link ’ s lecturer vanished into thin air after being listed as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump ( whose committee was suspected of links with the Kremlin in the spread of compromising emails against rival Hillary Clinton ) and ended up in the center of the subsequent counter-investigation conducted by the Attorney General William Barr and the magistrate in charge John Durham , who also came to Italy to clarify the SpyGate .
In recent months it has been renamed ObamaGate for the alleged conspiracy hatched by the American Democrats at the origin of the scandals thanks to CIA informers , as in the case of UkraineGate for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ praised the hidden action of the “ Deep State ” against the Republican tenant of the White House .
This report , however , wants to dig deeper .
It is the preamble of an international intrigue that is tangled up around the recent scandals in the Italian judiciary culminating with the PalamaraGate and the role of our Mediterranean peninsula in the Italian-British arms lobby , closely linked with the Muslim Brotherhood of Qatar and Turkey , as already highlighted in a previous reportage , but also to the secret services and freemasonry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they do not make us disappear first … ) .
Issues that also involve embarrassing military operations such as the one that saw NATO implicitly and covertly legitimize the sending of ISIS cutthroat jihadists to Libya as Turkish mercenaries in support of President Fayez Al-Serraj ’ s Government of National Accord in Tripoli ( diplomatically supported also by the American lobbying company Mercury ) in the civil war against General Khalifa Haftar ’ s Libyan National Army , now suspended in a fragile truce .
By virtue of the blissful impunity granted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – the financial , Masonic , military and spy apparatus that controls or influences politicians and governments in almost all Western countries – a former minister pardoned by the “ statute barred ” for the SISDE black funds scandal ( Italian internal secret services now called AISI ) can boast in public interviews of the fact that “ Link was the first university to include in its graduate and post graduate programs intelligence and security studies also intended for members of the army , of the order “ .
In fact , former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the M5S in the first Conte government ( 2018-2019 ) , also taught there .
The Master of Intelligence & Security , flagship of the university , is reserved for a highly selected elite or children of nabobs since in the academic year 2019-2020 the tuition amounted to 10 thousand euros , discounted at 50 % for operators of the Defense and Security Sector but free for 18 lucky scholarship winners , of which 8 are reserved for civilian and military personnel engaged in international missions .
This would already be enough to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will explain , that the university has become famous thanks to a conference organized by the CIA : because it means that these foreign mission officials could be selected during the lessons and “ recruited ” by the most powerful intelligence of the world without the knowledge of those for whom they are operating in perhaps very delicate contexts , such as the Libyan or Syrian one where the jihadists received the powerful TOW anti-tank missiles from Langley , headquarters of the US counter-intelligence ( SETA dossier published by Gospa News ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the founder and president of Link Campus University in Rome that accentuates the suspicions that the alleged shady deals uncovered by the judiciary are only the tip of the iceberg of an unscrupulous and unregulated intelligence activity because it is included in a strategic and functional to those secret services that almost always get away with it even after heinous criminal actions .
FORMER MINISTER OF BLACK FUNDS SISDE THEN FOUNDER OF LINK Vincenzo Scotti , born in 1933 , for Christian Democratic party minister in various governments from 1978 to 1992 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Berlusconi government , before starting this university project as recounted in an interview with StartMag a few months ago .
« The idea was born in the late nineties of the last century , when I was taking a course at the University of Malta .
With the support of two great friends and high-level Italian and Maltese statesmen , such as Francesco Cossiga and Guido De Marco , we decided to make use of an Italian law , resulting from the Lisbon Convention , to ask the Italian government to authorize the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Malta .
It was 1999 the Rector was Roger Ellul Micallef .
In 2007 we were recognized as the Italian branch of the University of Malta and finally in 2011 we were transformed and recognized as a legally recognized non-state Italian university » .
Scotti is also known in the news for being the Minister of the Interior replaced before the summer of the mafia massacres in which judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino were assassinated with bomb attacks , both engaged in the so-called Caronte Informative of the ROS Carabinieri of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mafia , politics and freemasonry but also on the Sicily-US drug trafficking front revealed by the FBI ( Federal Bureau of Investigations ) Pizza Connection investigation .
Well , the former minister has become president of the university that trains potential 007 despite being overwhelmed by a scandal that also brought one of the top secret service officials to trial .
The Wikipedia reconstruction is essential but eloquent .
« Indicted for embezzlement and abuse of office due to the scandal of the SISDE slush funds in 1993 , the criminal charges were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Court of Auditors ordered him to compensate the State € 2,995,450 , judging him guilty together with the former director of the Sisde , Alessandro Voci , of having bought a building in Rome with Sisde reserved funds at an increased price of 10 billion lire for the creation of black funds .
He was acquitted of the charge of corruption in the management of sanitation and in that of the Italia 90 World Cup » .
But what can black funds be used by the secret services that already have their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for mysterious informers or to finance covert operations ( as happened for the weapons depots and the military of Operation Gladio also known as Stay Behind because it matured within British and American intelligence ) or perhaps anoint CIA agents who obviously can not be put on the payroll from another state ?
DOZENS OF POLICEMEN IN TROUBLE FOR EASY DEGREES Good blood does not lie and the sinister results slowly came to light in May 2020 .
The investigations that revealed the dark side of the university were reported by all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to us only the easy task of fixing the tiles of a disturbing mosaic .
“ After more than two years of investigations , the investigation into alleged ” easy exams “ at the faculty of political science and international relations at the private university Link Campus University in Rome , a body chaired by former minister Vincenzo Scotti , was closed by the Florence prosecutor ’ s office .
The Tuscan prosecutors have enrolled in the register of suspects 71 people who answer , for various reasons , for material and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ examination reports and criminal conspiracy ” wrote Il Fatto Quotidiano newspaper on 13 May 2020 .
Here we go again mister Scotti !
« Among the suspects there is the president of the school himself , who issued degrees recognized by the state , but also the administrative heads of the institution , teachers , researchers , employees and many students .
Scotti is under investigation for criminal association in competition aimed at false examinations and considered by the prosecutors “ promoter , breeder and organizer of the association ” together with , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Link , Claudio Roveda member of the board of directors and rector , Pierluigi Matera member of the Academic Senate , Maurizio Claudio Zandri coordinator of the degree course , as well as teachers , researchers , administrators » .
The prosecutors in charge of the investigation ( deputy Christine von Borries , deputy prosecutor Luca Turco and the chief prosecutor Giuseppe Creazzo ) contested for the academic years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 the failure to attend classes ” and the exams taken in Florence ( but also in Bologna ) instead of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Campus , as considered mandatory .
But what is even more serious “ it would appear that the teachers delivered the questions or topics to the examiners before the exam tests , and , again the accusations , the teachers themselves would have allowed them to freely consult the Internet and , in essence , to copy from the web the answers “ .
Among the anomalies detected by the investigators also that for which the students did not have to attend any lessons , held in Rome , despite the didactic regulations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ students there are numerous policemen on duty at the Florence police headquarters .
According to the prosecutors they would have registered on Link Campus through Siulp .
The secretary general of the police union , Felice Romano is under investigation on charges of criminal association in competition with the top management of the link Campus for carrying out ‘ facilitated examinations ’ for the registered policemen that Siulp himself would have sent to the Link Campu » .
For the defense attorneys , the policemen were in good faith .
“ My clients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – says the lawyer Federico Bagattini , who defends numerous agents of the police headquarters in Florence - , scrupulously complied with the instructions of the Link Campus University officials ” regarding courses and the conduct of exams .
While the university declared “ its absolute extraneousness to the accusations made by the prosecutor of Florence and confirms the full transparency of all its work ” .
It will be the hearing before the GUP ( preliminary hearing judge ) that will dispel any doubts .
It is undisputed that any policeman who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can have great opportunities only if he has a degree and thus manages to start a career as an official .
While it is Gospa News who unveils the intertwining between policemen , intelligence and Pentagon contractors within the university as shown in an unequivocal OSINT document referring to September 2014 .
“ The Link Campus University of Rome for the first time organizes in Italy the first course of ‘ Elicitation Techniques ” with the extraordinary teaching of the staff of Phoenix Training Center , a company owned by the American giant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the largest service provider in support of the US Department of Defense and the Federal Agencies of the US Government .
Today Phoenix Training Center boasts within its faculty , specialists from the US.DoD ( Department of Defense ) , DIA ( Defense Intelligence Agency ) , CIA ( Central Intelligence Agency ) , FBI ( Federal Boureau Investigation ) and Law Enforcement Agency ” - In the description of the course , reading becomes easy only for professionals : “ Elicitation is one of the branches of Humint ( Human Intelligence ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ target for the purpose of receiving information .
The ‘ Elicitation ’ techniques are based on targeted communication and conversation strategies designed with the aim of acquiring information , analyzing and studying personality profiles according to the ” Myer ’ s Briggs Type Indicator ” .
The course is particularly suitable for personnel belonging to the world of government intelligence and large corporations “ .
At a cost of 900 euros , three days of courses were proposed with American experts Clifford Ruggles , with over 25 years of experience within the American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) & DHS ( Defense Humint Service ) and Troy Shane Brown , with over 25 years of experience within the US Law Enforcement Community and ‘ Surveillance , Counter Surveillance & Hostage Negotiations Instructor at the Quantico FBI Academy .
But for members of the SIULP police union a 50 % discount was applied .
“ The dissidents of the CIA ” is a great reportage to be read in its entirety to understand the scenarios experienced by the world of counter-espionage after 11 September , on which weigh more and more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ international scope , through explosions piloted at the World Trade Center , as claimed by the Lawyers Committee and the Architects & Engineers for 911Truth association and as reported by Gospa News on the occasion of the recent anniversary .
« The Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) have sent their officers to lecture at Link .
In 2004 , the CIA and Link organized a conference in Rome attended by intelligence and police officials of nearly 30 countries , including then-CIA deputy director for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stephen Marrin was a guest lecturer at Link » the summary is from Wikipedia while the details are reported by David Ignatius on April 6 , 2014 in the Washington Post in an objective and even biting article .
« If the intelligence community keeps doing what it was doing before Sept. 11 , 2001 , it risks making more mistakes that could have disastrous effects .
The danger of the status quo was underlined by the intelligence failure in assessing Iraq ’ s weapons of mass destruction ; analysts signed off on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but that , in hindsight , appear to have been wrong » .
Wrote the journalist launching an arrow at the administration of George W. Bush jr which eliminated Saddam Hussein with the excuse of chemical weapons but , in our opinion , only served to steal oil after the corruption scandal that spread to the UN , with the arrest warrant to executive director Benon Vahe Sevan who took refuge in Cyprus where there is no extradition , around the Oil for Food project well described in the recent film Backstabbing for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fly .
« So what is the CIA doing to shake up its people and procedures ?
Can it break down the walls of secrecy and bureaucracy that prevent analysts from communicating more effectively with colleagues at other U.S. intelligence agencies — let alone with foreign intelligence and security services ?
» Ignatius wonders in the Washington Post before unveiling how Link University came into the orbit of the Central Intelligence Agency .
« Last week I attended a CIA-sponsored conference here that was described as an “ experiment ” with these disruptive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Frontiers of Intelligence Analysis , ” brought together officials from intelligence and police agencies of nearly 30 countries .
The sessions were all unclassified , and I was one of several journalists and a dozen or so academics who were invited » .

Too bad that the Link Campus University, with its Roman headquarters in via del Casale di San Pio V and about 1800 students enrolled (2017 data), also attended by the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio of the 5 Star Movement, in recent months it has come under investigation for many alleged malpractice which confirm the old adage that “the wolf loses its fur but not the vice” and goes far beyond the well-known story of the Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud.
This Link’s lecturer vanished into thin air after being listed as a pawn by RussiaGate against US President Donald Trump (whose committee was suspected of links with the Kremlin in the spread of compromising emails against rival Hillary Clinton) and ended up in the center of the subsequent counter-investigation conducted by the Attorney General William Barr and the magistrate in charge John Durham, who also came to Italy to clarify the SpyGate.
In recent months it has been renamed ObamaGate for the alleged conspiracy hatched by the American Democrats at the origin of the scandals thanks to CIA informers, as in the case of UkraineGate for which a former intelligence director has publicly praised the hidden action of the “Deep State” against the Republican tenant of the White House.
This report, however, wants to dig deeper.

By virtue of the blissful impunity granted to the powerful of the Deep International State – the financial, Masonic, military and spy apparatus that controls or influences politicians and governments in almost all Western countries – a former minister pardoned by the “statute barred” for the SISDE black funds scandal (Italian internal secret services now called AISI) can boast in public interviews of the fact that “Link was the first university to include in its graduate and post graduate programs intelligence and security studies also intended for members of the army, of the order “. In fact, former Defense Minister Elisabetta Trenta, wanted by the M5S in the first Conte government (2018-2019), also taught there.

FORMER MINISTER OF BLACK FUNDS SISDE THEN FOUNDER OF LINK
Vincenzo Scotti, born in 1933, for Christian Democratic party minister in various governments from 1978 to 1992, was Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs in the Berlusconi government, before starting this university project as recounted in an interview with StartMag a few months ago.
«The idea was born in the late nineties of the last century, when I was taking a course at the University of Malta. With the support of two great friends and high-level Italian and Maltese statesmen, such as Francesco Cossiga and Guido De Marco, we decided to make use of an Italian law, resulting from the Lisbon Convention, to ask the Italian government to authorize the creation of a subsidiary of the University of Malta. It was 1999 the Rector was Roger Ellul Micallef. In 2007 we were recognized as the Italian branch of the University of Malta and finally in 2011 we were transformed and recognized as a legally recognized non-state Italian university».
Scotti is also known in the news for being the Minister of the Interior replaced before the summer of the mafia massacres in which judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino were assassinated with bomb attacks, both engaged in the so-called Caronte Informative of the ROS Carabinieri of Palermo in relation the connections between the mafia, politics and freemasonry but also on the Sicily-US drug trafficking front revealed by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations) Pizza Connection investigation.
Well, the former minister has become president of the university that trains potential 007 despite being overwhelmed by a scandal that also brought one of the top secret service officials to trial. The Wikipedia reconstruction is essential but eloquent.
«Indicted for embezzlement and abuse of office due to the scandal of the SISDE slush funds in 1993, the criminal charges were then lapsed due to a prescription. The Court of Auditors ordered him to compensate the State € 2,995,450, judging him guilty together with the former director of the Sisde, Alessandro Voci, of having bought a building in Rome with Sisde reserved funds at an increased price of 10 billion lire for the creation of black funds. He was acquitted of the charge of corruption in the management of sanitation and in that of the Italia 90 World Cup».
But what can black funds be used by the secret services that already have their own official budget? Perhaps to pay for mysterious informers or to finance covert operations (as happened for the weapons depots and the military of Operation Gladio also known as Stay Behind because it matured within British and American intelligence) or perhaps anoint CIA agents who obviously cannot be put on the payroll from another state?
DOZENS OF POLICEMEN IN TROUBLE FOR EASY DEGREES
Good blood does not lie and the sinister results slowly came to light in May 2020. The investigations that revealed the dark side of the university were reported by all the newspapers in Italy and therefore it is up to us only the easy task of fixing the tiles of a disturbing mosaic.
“After more than two years of investigations, the investigation into alleged” easy exams “at the faculty of political science and international relations at the private university Link Campus University in Rome, a body chaired by former minister Vincenzo Scotti, was closed by the Florence prosecutor’s office. The Tuscan prosecutors have enrolled in the register of suspects 71 people who answer, for various reasons, for material and ideological falsehoods regarding numerous episodes of altered examination reports and criminal conspiracy”wrote Il Fatto Quotidiano newspaper on 13 May 2020.
Here we go again mister Scotti! «Among the suspects there is the president of the school himself, who issued degrees recognized by the state, but also the administrative heads of the institution, teachers, researchers, employees and many students. Scotti is under investigation for criminal association in competition aimed at false examinations and considered by the prosecutors “promoter, breeder and organizer of the association” together with, among others, Pasquale Russo general director of Link, Claudio Roveda member of the board of directors and rector, Pierluigi Matera member of the Academic Senate, Maurizio Claudio Zandri coordinator of the degree course, as well as teachers, researchers, administrators».
The prosecutors in charge of the investigation (deputy Christine von Borries, deputy prosecutor Luca Turco and the chief prosecutor Giuseppe Creazzo) contested for the academic years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 the failure to attend classes” and the exams taken in Florence (but also in Bologna) instead of in the Rome office of the Link Campus, as considered mandatory. But what is even more serious “it would appear that the teachers delivered the questions or topics to the examiners before the exam tests, and, again the accusations, the teachers themselves would have allowed them to freely consult the Internet and, in essence, to copy from the web the answers “. Among the anomalies detected by the investigators also that for which the students did not have to attend any lessons, held in Rome, despite the didactic regulations.
Not only. «Among the students there are numerous policemen on duty at the Florence police headquarters. According to the prosecutors they would have registered on Link Campus through Siulp. The secretary general of the police union, Felice Romano is under investigation on charges of criminal association in competition with the top management of the link Campus for carrying out ‘facilitated examinations’ for the registered policemen that Siulp himself would have sent to the Link Campu».
For the defense attorneys, the policemen were in good faith. “My clients, in the pursuit of their studies – says the lawyer Federico Bagattini, who defends numerous agents of the police headquarters in Florence -, scrupulously complied with the instructions of the Link Campus University officials” regarding courses and the conduct of exams. While the university declared “its absolute extraneousness to the accusations made by the prosecutor of Florence and confirms the full transparency of all its work”. It will be the hearing before the GUP (preliminary hearing judge) that will dispel any doubts.
SUPER-COURSE WITH US INTELLIGENCE EXPERTS
It is undisputed that any policeman who is interested in joining the secret services can have great opportunities only if he has a degree and thus manages to start a career as an official. While it is Gospa News who unveils the intertwining between policemen, intelligence and Pentagon contractors within the university as shown in an unequivocal OSINT document referring to September 2014.
enix Training Center vanta all’interno del suo corpo docenti , specialisti provenienti dallo US.DoD ( Department of Defense ), DIA ( Defense Intelligence Agency ), CIA ( Central Intelligence Agency ), FBI ( Federal Boureau Investigation ) e dalle Law Enforcement Agency»
“The Link Campus University of Rome for the first time organizes in Italy the first course of ‘Elicitation Techniques” with the extraordinary teaching of the staff of Phoenix Training Center, a company owned by the American giant Dyncorp International LLC, for 50 years the largest service provider in support of the US Department of Defense and the Federal Agencies of the US Government. Today Phoenix Training Center boasts within its faculty, specialists from the US.DoD (Department of Defense), DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), FBI (Federal Boureau Investigation) and Law Enforcement Agency”-
In the description of the course, reading becomes easy only for professionals: “Elicitation is one of the branches of Humint (Human Intelligence) represents the strategic process of identifying a target for the purpose of receiving information. The ‘Elicitation’ techniques are based on targeted communication and conversation strategies designed with the aim of acquiring information, analyzing and studying personality profiles according to the ” Myer’s Briggs Type Indicator ”. The course is particularly suitable for personnel belonging to the world of government intelligence and large corporations “.
At a cost of 900 euros, three days of courses were proposed with American experts Clifford Ruggles, with over 25 years of experience within the American military intelligence DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) & DHS (Defense Humint Service) and Troy Shane Brown, with over 25 years of experience within the US Law Enforcement Community and ‘Surveillance, Counter Surveillance & Hostage Negotiations Instructor at the Quantico FBI Academy. But for members of the SIULP police union a 50% discount was applied.
CONFERENCE OF CIA “DISSIDENTS” IN ROME
“The dissidents of the CIA” is a great reportage to be read in its entirety to understand the scenarios experienced by the world of counter-espionage after 11 September, on which weigh more and more the suspicions of a cursed conspiracy of international scope, through explosions piloted at the World Trade Center, as claimed by the Lawyers Committee and the Architects & Engineers for 911Truth association and as reported by Gospa News on the occasion of the recent anniversary.
«The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have sent their officers to lecture at Link. In 2004, the CIA and Link organized a conference in Rome attended by intelligence and police officials of nearly 30 countries, including then-CIA deputy director for intelligence Jami Miscik. The then-CIA analyst Stephen Marrin was a guest lecturer at Link» the summary is from Wikipedia while the details are reported by David Ignatius on April 6, 2014 in the Washington Post in an objective and even biting article.
«If the intelligence community keeps doing what it was doing before Sept. 11, 2001, it risks making more mistakes that could have disastrous effects. The danger of the status quo was underlined by the intelligence failure in assessing Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction; analysts signed off on estimates that provided a rationale for war but that, in hindsight, appear to have been wrong».
Wrote the journalist launching an arrow at the administration of George W. Bush jr which eliminated Saddam Hussein with the excuse of chemical weapons but, in our opinion, only served to steal oil after the corruption scandal that spread to the UN, with the arrest warrant to executive director Benon Vahe Sevan who took refuge in Cyprus where there is no extradition, around the Oil for Food project well described in the recent film Backstabbing for Beginners (2018) directed by Per Fly.
«So what is the CIA doing to shake up its people and procedures? Can it break down the walls of secrecy and bureaucracy that prevent analysts from communicating more effectively with colleagues at other U.S. intelligence agencies — let alone with foreign intelligence and security services?» Ignatius wonders in the Washington Post before unveiling how Link University came into the orbit of the Central Intelligence Agency.
«Last week I attended a CIA-sponsored conference here that was described as an “experiment” with these disruptive ideas. The conference, “New Frontiers of Intelligence Analysis,” brought together officials from intelligence and police agencies of nearly 30 countries. The sessions were all unclassified, and I was one of several journalists and a dozen or so academics who were invited». (read more…)

– First published … September 01, 2020 –
Whereas the US did badly loose the ‘snap back sanctions on Iran’ showdown at the UN Security Council, this is not just a foreign policy failure, although it is a major consequence, rooted in the decline of American influence in Europe and elsewhere or its tense relations with both China and Russia.
With elections due in few months and Biden’s lead already in double digits, Trump is left with no options but to flare up tensions at the international level, kill the Iran-nuclear deal and thus present himself as ‘tough’ on Iran and even Europe. By taking such an approach, Trump hopes to revamp his ‘America First’ agenda in the up-coming elections as well.
At the same time, however, failure to do so will massively weaken his election bid and reduce chances of his re-election. That’s why, even after facing the defeat in the UNSC, Trump issued a threat, vowing to impose ‘snap back’ and thus create conditions that will force Iran to kill the unclear deal altogether.
While it remains to be seen how Iran will actually respond to US’ unilateral sanctions, by directly threatening to impose ‘snap back’ with or without the support of US’ European ‘allies’, the fact of the matter is that the Trump administration has largely expanded the scope of its “maximum pressure” from Iran to Europe.
As it stands, to win support the US will need to apply political and economic pressure on members of the UNSC, including the UK and France. Already the ‘E3’—France, the UK and Germany—have made repeatedly clear that they will not support unilateral US sanctions on Iran.
A statement released in June said that “We firmly believe that any unilateral attempt to trigger UN sanctions snap back would have serious [&] adverse consequences in the UNSC. We would not support such a decision which would be incompatible with our current efforts to preserve the JCPoA.”
As far as the US strategy of “maximum pressure” is concerned, the statement said that “we continue to believe that the strategy of maximum pressure will not effectively serve this goal” of preserving JCPoA. However, now that Europe is itself a target of “maximum pressure”, Trump administration appears determined to fight this war on multiple fronts: Russia-China, Europe and the rest of the UNSC members.
This war, however, seems to have the potential to completely undermine and destroy the legitimacy of the UNSC. The US actions have the potential to render the UNSC as a meaningless global institution, forcing other countries like Russia, China and the ‘E3’ to take an extra precautionary approach to any future agreements that would involve the US.
Imposition of US unilateral sanctions on Iran, however, does fit in the changing geo-political scenario of the Middle East, where a partly US-sponsored diplomatic deal between the UAE and Israel has altered regional dynamics significantly. Israel would have more friends in the Middle East to counter Iran even if the US fails to convince Europe and the rest of the countries involved in JCPoA, or if Trump loses elections.
Election and the Deal
As it stands, most of what the Trump administration is doing is linked with Trump’s falling election fortunes. That Trump is playing this issue up to buttress his election campaign is evident from how he has already ‘vowed’ to make a new deal with Iran within four weeks of his re-election.
However, a crucial problem for the US president is that the Iranians, too, know very well how Trump’s election bid is shaping his JCPoA policy. As a matter of fact, in a July 31 speech, the Iranian leader categorically said that Iran is well aware that Trump is seeking only sham talks to help him in November.
Therefore, even if the US imposes snap back sanctions without the support of Europe, the fate of JCPoA will be in Iran’s own hands. Iran, still wanting to maintain good ties with Europe, wouldn’t immediately kill the deal and revert to the pre-2015 scenario.
This in turn is premised on the hope that Trump’s defeat in the elections would most likely bring the US back in the Iran nuclear deal. Returning to the JCPoA would effectively include endorsing all of the reported secret agreements that were struck by the Obama administration, which Biden served as vice president.
Therefore, even if the Trump administration does impose sanctions and supposedly ‘kill’ the deal and present it as a ‘victory’ to its voters, a possible defeat in the elections will be enough to revamp the deal in the same or anew form.
While Trump’s unlikely victory in the elections may not immediately produce a new deal, it will still have largely, and perhaps irreparably, damage its reputation and influence in Europe and even beyond, accelerating Trump’s self-inflicted decline of the US dominated international system.

Castles are often placed on land that would give its inhabitants an advantage against intruders .
Romans were good at finding the best areas to defend and those that would be most difficult to breech .
While Bamburgh Castle is defined as a Medieval Castle this place of importance for Britians began as a Roman roundhouse built over 2,000 years ago when ‘ Romans occupied Britain .

Facebook takes down Antifa wildfire rumors days after they start
[ Editor’s note: Is the Oregon wildfire season falling into a psyop? How hard is it to create doubt in the public’s mind for the advancement of political movements in an election year?
Arson has been a part of western wildfires for decades, as are campfires, downed power lines and nature’s lightning strikes.
Arson. Lightning strikes. Campfires. Power lines. The four horsemen of fires.
Arsonists have been running around since Prometheus shared a light, but now stakeholders have adopted a new narrative that serves their interests. What should a good skeptic think? Well for starters, good skeptics resist the pull of the tide.
This week, what is in the best interest of thousands of evacuees is for their fellow Americans to not make evacuations worse in real time by clogging the phone lines of first responders, police departments and sheriffs.
And, perhaps those who heighten the public’s fears are no better than Orson Welles, the guy who caused panic with his radio spoof, War of the Worlds and sent people out into the street, an early 20th century psyop where Welles claimed his innocence and naïveté and that he meant no harm. But two decades after the Twin Towers psyop, patterns of premeditation and duplicity can be discerned; and Welles’ denial starts to fit snugly into the category of calculated plausible deniability.
No good crisis should ever be wasted. And, do organized conspiracy promoters know that they are taking advantage of a situation? Of course. The manipulators are counting on a certain small percentage of success; end result, to destabilize order. To paint good and evil in a new way. Reduce it to black and white. The theme never ends, as long as it keeps working. Yet it’s strange how an arson attack on a navy ship in harbor is overlooked when it doesn’t fit a convenient narrative. All damped down and hushed up until someone in authority tells us what to think. ‘Nothing to see here; move along.’
Tens of thousands of people are evacuated each fire season, their boots and the trunk of their cars pursued by the flames of raging wildfires across twelve western states of the US. It tests the mental resilience of each and every evacuee, except for the toddlers and infants that are too young to understand. People stay strong for the benefit of those around them.
I know this from personal experience, having had the joy of being evacuated at 1 a.m. on the morning of May 10, 2000, driving slowly in a long line of cars on the last open road out of town.
Companion animals absorb stress from their evacuated caregivers, and when the people move back into their home (if it’s still there), sometimes their pet will show that they are stressed.
A neighbor’s youthful pet dropped dead on their bed a week after it was all over, and the newspaper wrote about it in their survivor series. Readers chimed in about their animals showing emotional strain. The companion animal is responding to the scent of fear and the expressions on people’s faces, perhaps combined with a drastic change in location and routine.
Our animals can be like a litmus test for our own stress level. When people are evacuated, their entire life that day or month is upended. There is much uncertainty. Wild rumors routinely get started and make the rounds, and although they can be titillating gossip, they do not help the situation one iota.
Godspeed the evacuees in rebuilding their communities and in some cases burying their lost ones… Editor4 ]
Facebook took down the posts Sept. 12, after they had already gone viral and caused headaches for law enforcement officials and 911 dispatchers.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Facebook announced Saturday it is removing false claims that antifascists were responsible for setting fires in Oregon throughout the week amid a historic wildfire event that has burned a million acres and left hundreds of Oregonians without homes.
The rumors of “antifa” setting fires throughout the state began Sept. 8, and quickly spread beyond just social media. Law enforcement agencies — both local and national — have dispelled the rumors. Despite that, the false information continued spreading for days as firefighters battled more than 35 wildfires around the state.

The July 12 fire that burned aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard for four days may have been an intentional act of arson, according to an unnamed defense official who spoke with the Associated Press and the New York Times.
Both the AP and the New York Times have reported, based on an unnamed official’s comments, that the fire that burned on the U.S. Navy’s amphibious assault ship is being investigated as an intentional act. Both outlets also reported a Navy sailor has been questioned by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
ABC10 also reported unnamed sources said investigators have served multiple search warrants at a sailor’s home and property. The sailor has not been detained and his name and rank have not been disclosed. No motive has been identified for the alleged arson.
In a public comment provided to various media sources, Navy spokesman Lt. Tim Pietrack said, “The Navy will not comment on an ongoing investigation to protect the integrity of the investigative process and all those involved. We have nothing to announce at this time.”
About 160 sailors and officers were on board the Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) when the fires broke out. The fire on the ship reportedly spread quickly and at least two explosions were reported as the fire spread up the ship’s elevator shaft and exhaust stacks. At least 59 people, including 36 Navy personnel and 23 civilians, were injured as the fire spread aboard the ship and in subsequent efforts to control the blaze. Most of the injuries were minor, and many consisted of heat exhaustion and smoke inhalation.
Numerous local and federal firefighting resources worked the ship fire from the ground, firefighting boats and aerial water drops. The ship began to list to one side as a result of the weight of water settling in the ship after days of water drops over the ship.
The Bonhomme Richard, a Wasp-Class amphibious assault ship, was designed to act as a carrier for helicopters and landing craft, to support amphibious landing missions. According to Defense News, the Bonhomme Richard was being upgraded to accommodate F-35B Lightning II joint strike fighter jets, as part of the Navy’s “lightning carrier” concept.
The “lightning carrier” concept entails converting amphibious assault ships, like the Bonhomme Richard, into a light carrier that can fit up to 20 F-35Bs, which are the short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant of the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter. The July fire happened as the ship was nearing the end of an estimated $250 million two-year upgrade process to convert the assault ship into such a “lightning carrier.”
Defense analysts told the AP that if the ship cannot be repaired, it could cost the Navy up to $4 billion to replace.
After the fires were extinguished, Rear Adm. Philip Sobeck, the commander of the Navy’s Expeditionary Strike Group 3, expressed optimism that the ship may still be salvaged.
“The survivability of the ship is there — it’s survivable,” Sobeck said. “It’s in stable condition all the way through.”
