U.S. Counterterrorism Officials Insisted that Crotch Bomber Be Let Into Country
Undersecretary for management at the State Department, Patrick F.
Kennedy, told Congress that the State Department wanted to keep crotch
bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab out of the U.S., but that intelligence
agencies insisted that Abdulmutallab be let into the country.
Specifically,
on January 27th, Kennedy told the House Committee on Homeland Security
that intelligence agencies blocked revocation of Abdulmutallab's visa
because it would have foiled a "larger investigation" into Al Qaeda.
As noted by The Detroit News:
The
State Department didn't revoke the visa of foiled terrorism suspect
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab because federal counterterrorism officials
had begged off revocation, a top State Department official revealed
Wednesday.Patrick F. Kennedy, an undersecretary for management at
the State Department, said Abdulmutallab's visa wasn't taken away
because intelligence officials asked his agency not to deny a visa to
the suspected terrorist over concerns that a denial would've foiled a
larger investigation into al-Qaida threats against the United States.
"Revocation
action would've disclosed what they were doing," Kennedy said in
testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security. Allowing
Adbulmutallab to keep the visa increased chances federal investigators
would be able to get closer to apprehending the terror network he is
accused of working with, "rather than simply knocking out one solider
in that effort."
This is eerily similar to 9/11:
- One of al-Qaeda’s top trainers in terrorism and how to hijack airplanes, who was a very close associate of Bin Laden, was an American citizen who was an operative for the FBI, the CIA, and the Army (see this article from the San Francisco Chronicle and this article
from the Globe and Mail). Indeed, while he was acting as an FBI
informant, he smuggled Bin Laden in and out of Afghanistan, helped plan
the attacks on US embassies in Africa, and apparently played a pivotal
role in planning 9/11.According to a 1995 Boston Globe report, his entry into the country was made possible by “clandestine CIA sponsorship.” According to West Point's Combatting Terrorism Center, the terrorist was:
Given a visa waiver under
a “little known visa waiver program that allows the CIA and other
security agencies to bring valuable agents into the country, bypassing
the usual immigration formalities.” While perhaps “little known,” this
authority was granted to the Director of National Intelligence by the
Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 and codified in 50 U.S.C.
§403h, which states that if “the admission of a particular alien into
the United States for permanent residence is in the interest of
national security or essential to the furtherance of the national
intelligence mission, such alien and his immediate family shall be
admitted to the United States for permanent residence without regard to
their inadmissibility under the immigration or any other laws and
regulations….”
- 11 of the hijackers received visas to the U.S. through a consular office where, according to the former head of that office, the
CIA routinely insisted that visas be granted to terrorists, even when
their visa applications should have been rejected under standard
operating procedure
Indeed:
- An Al Qaeda operative very close to one of the top Al Qaeda leaders was a CIA informant
- In an article on the nephew of the supposed key mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Newsday reported in 1995: “FBI
officials also are considering a probe of whether the CIA had any
relationship with [the nephew], who fought with the CIA-financed
mujaheddin in Afghanistan in the 1980s.” A classified FBI file also reportedly indicated that the nephew had been recruited by the local branch of the CIA (pages 220-221)
- The president of Pakistan said that one of the masterminds of 9/11 was an MI6 (British intelligence services) agent
And U.S. and allied intelligence services had penetrated the highest levels of Al Qaeda prior to 9/11. For example:
- In January 2001 -- the French intelligence services gave a report to the CIA entitled "Plan to hijack an aircraft by Islamic radicals". Indeed, "foreign agents had infiltrated Osama bin Laden's network and were carefully tracking its moves" prior to 9/11. The original story from the leading French newspaper makes it clear that such infiltration went to the highest levels of Al-Qaeda's camps, and included listening to the hijackers' debates about which airlines' planes should be hijacked, and that allied intelligence services also listened into satellite phone conversations between the hijackers
- Moroccan intelligence penetrated Bin Laden's inner circle, and reported on Bin Laden's plans to the U.S.
- A longtime CIA officer says, “Egyptians, Jordanians, [and] Palestinians penetrated the bin Laden organization for us. It’s B.S. that we didn’t.” (page 143)
- Former CIA director George Tenet says that “a
group of assets from a Middle Eastern service”, working for the CIA,
penetrated al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan by September 2001.
Bin Laden was dropping hints about the upcoming 9/11 attacks to
training camp trainees in the summer of 2001, and US citizen John
Walker Lindh was told details of the 9/11 attacks within weeks of
joining a training camp that summer
- Indeed, in the summer of 2001, the CIA allegedly told President Bush that the highest levels of Al-Qaeda had been penetrated
In addition, U.S. and allied intelligence services followed the hijacker's every move:
- The Congressional Joint Inquiry into 9/11 discovered that an
FBI informant had hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and
that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI
refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a
high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken
under orders from the White House (confirmed here by the Co-Chair of the Joint Inquiry and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham)
- The Pentagon also tracked the hijackers before 9/11
- Israel tracked
the hijackers' every movement prior to the attacks, and may have sent
agents to film the attack on the World Trade Centers. Israel, a very close ally of the U.S., presumably shared intelligence prior to 9/11
- And Saudi intelligence was "actively following" most of the September 11, 2001, plotters "with precision" prior to the attacks. Saudi Arabia, like Israel, is a very close ally of the U.S.
Moreover, the U.S. intercepted many high-level Al Qaeda phone calls:
- The CIA and the NSA had been intercepting phone calls by the hijackers for years
- The National Security Agency and the FBI
were both independently listening in on the phone calls between the
supposed mastermind of the attacks and the lead hijacker. Indeed, the
FBI built its own antenna in Madagascar specifically to listen in on
the mastermind's phone calls. The day before 9/11, the mastermind told the lead hijacker "tomorrow is zero hour" and gave final approval for the attacks.
The NSA intercepted the message that day and the FBI was likely also
monitoring the mastermind's phone calls. (The NSA claims that it did
not translate the intercept until September 12th; however, the
above-mentioned FBI translator said that she was frequently ordered to
falsify dates of translations regarding 9/11)
- Shortly before 9/11, the NSA also intercepted multiple phone calls from Bin Laden's chief of operations to the United States
- Only two days before 9/11, Osama Bin Laden called his stepmother and told her "In two days, you're going to hear big news and you're not going to hear from me for a while.” US
officials later told CNN that “in recent years they've been able to
monitor some of bin Laden's telephone communications with his
[step]mother. Bin Laden at the time was using a satellite telephone,
and the signals were intercepted and sometimes recorded." Indeed,
before 9/11, to impress important visitors, NSA analysts would
occasionally play audio tapes of bin Laden talking to his stepmother
Moreover, the financiers for Al Qaeda were not mysterious and unknown before 9/11:
- According to intelligence officials in India, Pakistan's military chief of intelligence wired $100,000 to the lead hijacker days before 9/11 (mentioned here in a news roundup). This is especially interesting because: That particular chief of intelligence was appointed to that position with the approval
of the U.S., and the intelligence chief had held "consultations" with
his U.S. counterparts at the CIA and the Pentagon during the week prior
to September 11. Coincidentally, the above-described military chief of
intelligence who wired the $100,000 to the hijacker actually met with the leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on the very morning of 9/11
Other facts point towards penetration of the highest levels of Al Qaeda:
- 9/11 family member and "Jersey Girl" Patty Casazza was told by whistleblowers that -- before 9/11 -- the government knew the exact day, the type of attack, and the targets
- One of France's largest newspapers claims that the CIA met with Bin Laden in an American hospital in Dubai in July 2001
Did
9/11 - like the crotch bombing - also involve U.S. intelligence
services letting smaller terrorists into the U.S. so that they could
catch the "big fish"?
If so, this would be ironic, since the U.S. could have killed Bin Laden in 2001 and again in 2007, but chose not to do so.

It says I LIE which is exactly what that fucker from Illonois does.
Is this supposed to be a revelation?
I.F. Stone beat you to it, and he was a bit more fair about it (than you appear to be, assuming that you weren't displaying a George W. Bush picture with the same words). I'll let you rummage for the famous quote, you appear to need to get out a bit more...
Big Pete,
After all the incredible "news" stories you have seen on this site, how can you say that?
Tim Geithner didn't know quack about the AIG deal, Paulson didn't know quack about Lehman and coincidentally doesn't remember talking to Lloyd that day (he was in Moscow meeting with Goldman- duh...), Cuomo didn't really issue a suit to the court, there are no FOIA requests still pending from the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and nothing at all smells like a cover-up or nefarious action in any way shape or form.
Guess you don't really read the news here. You just come for the pictures?
All of that is common enough, folks stealing other peoples money. Been going on since the beginning of time.
A government planning and executing an attack against its own soil to get what? You consider that in the same league of possibilities as every fool in Washington skimming off the top? Sorry I do not.
Some conspiracy theories have some credible chance of happening...others do not. The US Government flying goddamn remote control airplanes into the WTC and Missiles into the Pentagon is so far out of the realm of possibilities that if you believe that then you are still putting teeth under your pillow.
1,000 Architects & Engineers demand new 9/11 WTC investigation!
Press Conference Scheduled February 19th, 2010
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
As of January 2010, over 1,000 architects and engineers have signed our petition demanding a real investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11. This petition, along with AE911Truth literature and DVDs, will also be presented to every Member of Congress.
Pierre, go seek out footage of building 7 collapsing and check your suspension of belief again afterwards. There's a reason why that footage never gets played, and it's because it looks like every controlled demolition you ever saw on film.
The official explanation seems a tragic, farcical joke after you see it, combined with a sense of despair for what the lie means. There's no two ways around it.
That was the penny-drop moment for me; before that I shared your view.
So far out of the realm of possibilities? Apparently you're not a very creative thinker...
For your convenience I'll even provide a link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
I won't even speculate as to whether drones (pilotless planes) were used on 9/11. All I want to know is how WTC 7 came down: keep in mind that WTC 5 & 6, which didn't come down (and sufferred from massive fires) , were between WTC 1 & 2 and WTC 7!
So speaketh the big hammer, biggest tool in the tool belt. Hey, Pierre: harden the fuck up.
LOL. Pierre, missing_link, Lou629, et [ilk] need to be removed from the planet.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51kAjXUxMwL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
So who was it that remotely piloted the planes into the pentagon? Was it Bush or better yet Laura that used her Wii controller to pilot that plane/missile into the pentagon?
Al-Qaeda, false flag nut-jobs smoking Cheney dope, and boy wasn't 43 looking surprised as Andy Card whispered in his ear when Plan 2x20 went off in the midst of a handful of war games on that incredibly clear September day.
you agaih? i thought you got your ass kicked the last time you started your shit around here?
good one more guy to buy the extra bridges for sale
with an IQ of 45 //
question .. how did the third bldge fall down at free fall speed .. mr duh for brains
Oooohhh careful now they are watching you outside your window in a silent black helicopter...
Buffoon...I suppose next you will rant about the missile that hits the pentagon?
no just evplain the third bldg mr little man with bogus mouth
no, what's so hard to believe that the attack took place about as portrayed (maybe the plane in pa. was shot down, maybe not) but that certain "rogue elements" in the cia knew what was coming and let it happen to "wake up america" and get the cia as an institution an enemy to replace the disappeared ussr (that the cia rated as an existential threat until it ceased to exist -- some spies and intelligence analysts -- it was the essence of their assignment for forty years and they totally blew it). certainly pushed america a whole lot closer to fascism didn't it? imagine thinking when clinton was being impeached over lying about adultery that in ten years some (not you) would be debating the propriety of a democratic party president's policy of assassinating american citizens upon his (or a properly designated subordinate's) say so. and what did nixon do that was so bad he had to resign?
Certainly I have no doubt that given the incompetence of our government, any government our size, it is entirely possible that our CIA was penetrated, it has been for a while, by agents that did not have the country's best interests at heart.
Given that an avowed communist was but a heartbeat away from assuming the power of the Presidency, anything is possible when we willfully shut our eyes to the possibility. Before you rise up in protest read the Venona Papers.
Having said that, it is beyond absurd to consider remote control planes/missiles and explosives causing 9/11. That is the territory that this buffoon GW treads and it destroys the credibility of this site.
You cannot accept as possible ANY conspiracy theory when you are discussing what most people consider a wild eyed conspiracy theory, that the US Government is actively engaged in transfering the wealth of us all to their banker friends.
Nothing that you've rambled on and on about has ANYTHING to do with REFUTING the claims being made. Rather than explain how, say WTC 7 could come down WITHOUT explosives, you prattle on about communists trying to take the presidential throne- WTF?
This has EVERYTHING to do with the markets when there are reasons to believe that the US government, which is now greatly involved in them, was possibly involved in executing a "Pearl Harbor like event" (or basically words to that extent put forth in the PNAC document).
If I had a copy of the Operation Northwoods documenation I'd smack you over the head with it: seems that no matter whether there's written proof, even by the US government itself, some people just (too lazy to read?) won't believe things unless it hits them upside the head!
Thanks for playing!
more boga boga give it up washington .. your making your self into a complete fool .. by following this crap.
3 bldgs with two airplanes ,, at free fall speed ,, try tthat on for size ...

John Perkins ("Hoodwinked" and "Confessions of an

This is Tyranny.
Great clip. Keiser is always fun to watch.
Who was the guy in the suit who escorted that guy onto the plane, that is what I want to know.
Ad-hoc guy flunkie brimming with plausible denial; a story you can't resist and stamped as official by the intelligence agents you were born to trust. Keep the status-quo so the ATMs (the only financial innovation in the last 30 years-PV) remain working. Visions of Richard Pryor holding himself up with a pistol at his own neck!
No you don't. Keep low.
the toilet gang rides again ,, sure this and the sales of x-ray machines for diaper rash..
I worked in US defence industry for the last 25 years, specifically for Wright-Patterson AFB.
Based on my professional expertise, the 9/11 official version has too many incredible holes. Specifically, somebody deliberately interfered with flight avionics of three hijacked planes. Well, it took years before the truth about the Gulf of Tonkin became known.
The final note, CIA was the primary Al Qaeda creator & organizer. Dead Bin Laden would be a big problem for the US war on terror.
But isn't that why we went to war? To kill Bin Laden?
I mean, Bush didn't FAIL, did he? I mean he has this huge track record of success so I couldn't see how OBL could possibly be alive after 8 years and trillions of dollars.
Sure, none of this is worthy of consideration. So a few thousand people died and a few buildings came down, so what? People die and buildings come down every day. So maybe it provided an excuse to start a couple of wars and spend a few more trillion dollars we do not have. Don't access any of the links provided in the story and possibly rethink what you are already certain of. Just keep worrying about your portfolio and let some other jerkoffs (who probably wouldn't have a job anyway) fight and die in some God forsaken hellhole. Nothing to see here folks, move along. Good little sheeple!

"penetrated Al Qaeda"
Easily done! Since Al Qaeda is a CIA front.
Now don't get pissy! - if you can come to understand the true nature of the ongoing war for oil you will see the simple logic in this. If not - - -
Forget oil....its the heroin! Afghanistan went from 75% market share to 95% in the past decade with US support!
You don't really think it takes 100,000 troops and 300,000 private contractors to chase 100 Al Qaeda guys around do you....
Jeez . . . . You guys have entirely too much time on your hands, watching all those "x-files" re-runs.
Take your pick -
Blue pill - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bMteFx8LbM
Red pill - http://www.projectredpill.org/freedom101.htm
Right on, again!
This all has to do with control of oil, sure. But one of the main ways of population control in other parts of the world is through the use of drugs. CIA imported most of the crack cocaine into the US to destroy the inner cities to better keep the people there under governemnt control.
Do you realise that since the US Armed Forces arrived in Afghanistan the poppy crop has grown by 600 percent? Six times as much potential heroin in the world as before we took over the fields?
Is any of this beginning to make sense to you?
You are indeed correct. In July 2000, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar declared that growing poppies was un-Islamic, resulting in one of the world's most successful anti-drug campaigns. As a result of this ban, opium poppy cultivation was reduced by 91% from the previous year's estimate of 82,172 hectares. The ban was so effective that Helmand Province, which had accounted for more than half of this area, recorded no poppy cultivation during the 2001 season.
The United States needs enemies, likewise the drug war needs enemies too.
don't forget israel. they want us down in the hole that they're in so we will support their apartheid constant war. this explains a lot of the msm coverage of these issues.
Good thing I get my news from the "alternative media." You know, goofy guys drawing goofy bullshit on a chalkboard that links Obama to Mao and William Ayers with six degrees of separation.
LOL yeah Gary Webb and Steve Kangas felt the same way.....got to the point they both decided to committ suicide by shooting themselves twice in the head!
http://pubrecord.org/special-to-the-public-record/6833/problems-america-...
Excellent link.
If so, this would be ironic, since the U.S. could have killed Bin Laden in 2001 and again in 2007, but chose not to do so.
And why didn't we take out Sadaam in Desert Storm?
It doesn't matter anymore. Fix America. Either a fire hose or a flamethrower is the fate of Congress. I'd welcome the latter.
and again in 2007 impossible Bin Laden died in 2002 from kidney failure. the cat with ten imposters
Bin Laden is not dead, he just issued a new video guy.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/29/AR2010012901463.html
"The tape's authenticity could not be independently confirmed, but the voice resembled that of bin Laden on messages known to be from him."
It's a new audio tape, not a new video. Bin Laden looked like he was at death's door on the video right after 9/11. Did he get healthier over the last decade? He must have good health care.
Or, maybe we are chasing an Emmanuel Goldstein.
yes and where did that video come from? mossad perhaps?
The voice on the tape isn't Bin Laden... because we promised to kill or capture him after 9/11, and it's not like Bush has ever failed at anything before...
They dubbed his voice in like they did with Chef after he left South Park.
"I'm gonna MAKE LOVE to ya... children."
LOL. That was the funniest South Park ever.
Oh wait, back to partisanship. Yeah, so why isn't Bin Laden dead after spending trillions of dollars anyway? Isn't that the whole reason we went to the middle east in the first place?
