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.

bin laden is a former business partner of
baby bush...he wasn't taken out because he
serves as official boogey man in the "war on
terror".....the real terrorists however are
the bush crime syndicate and their cia....
saddam was the former business partner of daddy
bush...that war was also staged...either
hussein misinterpreted some assurance once
provided by bush or was double-crossed in kuwait....
funny how they all surrendered en masse....iraqis
were then smuggled into the usa to blow up the murrah
building....not yet sure the reasoning unless
to embarrass the clintons who are surely jokes
in their own rights....
hussein was supposed to have gotten a pipeline
across asia but failed...he eventually
outlived his usefulness....it was a all a grudge
fuck against hussein by the bushs...enron
etc etc....
Synthetic Terror was the answer to the Berlin Wall coming down in October 9th 1989..by July 1990, April Glaspie, US Ambasador to Iraq, was giving a "wink and a nod" to Saddam to settle things for himself about Kuwait's slant drilling into Iraq. GHWB, POTUS 41, then discovered gambling going on in the Casino, and the Peace dividend was securely back in the War-Is-Our-Payday pockets...and the beat goes on.
Stop all the whining and conspiracy thinking and get real and busy ---> Support HR 1835, take 8 milliion 18-wheelers off the diesel weasel into our pockets to OPEC's pocket and we'll be sending 100 Billion less USDs out every year for 2.5 Million Barrels of Crude Per Day. Domestic natural gas resources keep America free and working, spending our money here! If NY has issues, Pensylvania will be glad to get to work making it happen in every existing engine rolling today..or if necessary and even more stimulating, build new ones that take no new engineering or science.
PERU, fer chrissake, during the past several years has converted much of Lima's taxi fleet into vehicles powered by natural gas.
If Peru can do it, why can't we?
Japan has had taxis that run on NG too for at least 15 yrs. In south texas there are many people that run their pick-up trucks on propane or regular gas and are able to switch back and forth. Natural gas is more abundant than oil and it would create jobs drilling for it and take away from the dollars we pay for our foreign bought oil. Of course it would have an impact on refineries.
Sorry. Your information is not correct.
The bin Laden family were hired by George H. W. Bush (Bush 41...not 43...) and the Zapata Offshore oil company to construct their first offshore platform off the coast of Kuwait.
Mohammed bin Laden is Osama's father.
Zapata (the official name for the CIA Bay of Pigs Operation, btw...) later used their platforms to import/export guns/drugs/money throughout Central and South America. The process culminated in the Iran/Contra investigation. Later, the CIA "coke for guns" operation was moved into west Texas and Mena, Arkansas.
Connect all the dots, please. Do it for yourself.
George Washington has written here a String of Pearls that will shine light on all for posterity.
All of this has to do with the ruling petroligarchy in the United States. The Tbilisi/Azerbaijani pipeline should be halted immediately; we should get our money back for the infrastructure; we should convert all American vehicles to burn natural gas and be done with the entire debacle.
This has cost us enough already.
I do believe you are over-thinking this!
Less of your inane crap please, more from the writers who are not insane and who write about finance instead of politics.
Thank you.
If you find this material inane or insane then simply do not read it. Many of us here appreciate the contributions from Washingtons blog and look forward to them. Not only are your remarks rude...but they display the kind of small minded lack of curiosity that has led to such wonderous American developments as the Patriot Act and the inability of the majority of U.S. High School Graduates to even find the very places where we've been at war for several year on a fuckin map. If geopolitics do not concern or interest you...then what the hell are you doing reading about stocks and the market? Because if you think one has nothing to do with the other, then you obviously don't know diddly shit about either.

do you want some cheese to go with that whine?
This stuff is pretty easy to see with some history under your belt. Try anything by Niall Ferguson. For the truly lazy, the DVD "The Ascent of Money" is readily available through PBS - or Amazon if "public" anything sticks in your craw...

Missing link... missing-a-lot.
Missing Link=Chain of thought construction failure.
You can always get us to gang up and try to ban George Washington. Or cry to Marla to get her to ban George Washington. Or simply ignore what you want to ignore and accept what you want to accept.
Being in a room full of fucking crazy out thier mind people and calling someone crazy won't exactly galvanize us against him though. How are you going to control this link? There's got to be some way to do it.
ML could possibly control this link via some sort of logical counter argument. That would however require that she actually looks into it and asks some questions to which she would not like the answers to such as the whole cell phone calls from the plane crock, or the buildings falling at free-fall speed, why there was still red-hot molten steel in the ruble days after, how jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt structural steel or a host of other things that don't add up. This will not happen, as to question 9/11 questions the whole world as most know it, the ramifications being terrifying. In the meantime... 14 junks... I think that is a record!
What I want to know is where did all the gold go??? "Hah - Fort Knox, it's for tourists" - Jeremy Irons, One of the Die Hard movies where they steal the gold in trucks from under the twin towers.

LOL Echo the other comment! Only a complete retard would try to separate the two....especially after the display in the market today!
Display in the market?Just short covering.Go back to sleep.

www.ae911truth.org - must watch
al-qaeda is an invention and branch of the cia....
the ever evanescent bin laden - former business
partner in baby bush's oil ventures - serves

those stupid faked videos from bin laden were
hilarious - must have been directed by baghdad

the cia trots out an alleged hi-jacking incident
every so often to keep the fear factor alive
and to justify trillions for war but not one

yeah your right www.ae911truth.org . pretty much nails the whole shebang.

Only an idiot would put a firewall in between finance and politics in this environment. You aren't actually using fundamentals?
The off-balance sheet sewage is the crap which is the real "missing link." They are raping Fannie and Freddie. WTF is wrong with you.
Missing a link? Oh now I get it.
"Only an idiot would put a firewall in between finance and politics in this environment."
Bingo. Firewall religion and you've gone from double fucked to triple fucked.
