The U.S. and Its Allies Had Contact with Bin Laden and the 9/11 Hijackers Many Times Before 9/11

George Washington's picture




 

The report that the FBI had a human resource in direct contact with Bin Laden in 1993 - and covered it up and hid it from the 9/11 Commission and Congress - is newsworthy.  See this Washington Times report and NBC News coverage.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg:

  • The mainstream French paper Le Figaro alleged that the CIA met with Bin Laden himself 2 months before 9/11
  • A high-level military intelligence officer says that his unit – tasked with tracking Bin Laden prior to 9/11 – was pulled off the task, and their warnings that the World Trade Center and Pentagon were being targeted were ignored
  • The National Security Agency and the FBI were each 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
  • According to various sources, on 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
  • According to the Sunday Herald, two days before 9/11, 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.” U.S. 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.
  • And according to CBS News, at 9:53 a.m on 9/11, just 15 minutes after the hijacked plane had hit the Pentagon, “the National Security Agency, which monitors communications worldwide, intercepted a phone call from one of Osama bin Laden’s operatives in Afghanistan to a phone number in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia”, and secretary of Defense Rumsfeld learned about the intercepted phone call in real-time (if the NSA monitored and transcribed phone calls in real-time on 9/11, that implies that it did so in the months leading up to 9/11 as well)

Indeed, former counter-terrorism boss Richard Clarke theorizes that top CIA brass tried to recruit the hijackers and turn them to our side, but were unsuccessful. And – when they realized had failed – they covered up their tracks so that the FBI would not investigate their illegal CIA activities , “malfeasance and misfeasance”, on U.S. soil.

And former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds - deemed credible by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General, several senators (free subscription required), and a coalition of prominent conservative and liberal groupsalleges that the U.S. worked with Bin Laden right up to 9/11 ... and for months afterwards.

Whether or not she's right, it's indisputable that 9/11 was entirely foreseeable ... as was Al Qaeda flying airplanes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

As is the fact that the U.S. has backed the world's most dangerous and radical Muslim terrorists for decades.

George and other CT adherents have many flaws, but one is worth noting:

A very unusual tendence to attribute mythical, neo-religious status to the Government.

His subtext, barely concealed, is this:

If an FBI contact was in touch with Bin Laden in 1993, then THE GOVERNMENT KNEW AND DID THIS.

It is not as though government consists of people who make mistakes, no that is not possible to his thinking.

Many times CT Truthers state something along the lines of:

"Nothing happens by accident at that level."

Which proves that their opinion is based on never being anywhere near that level in any hierarchy; for if they had they would instantly understand how mistakes are constantly made all the way to the top and how many at the top are idiots or just going through the motions earning a paycheck.

People fuck up, shit happens. even 'when it's not possible' or 'it cannot happen at that level' or 'they should have known'.

This tendency places an oddly religious tone to the workings of Government as though they see and know all, at all levels and at all positions and all are super-competent and nearly omniscient.

That would be attributing god-like powers to government and that's why Truthers speak and 'reason' as from an Abrahamic point of view - because they are, in the end, members of a Religious Belief System based upon faith.

Just watched a Nova documentary on the PBS website last night. "Spy Factory" It was from 2009. Pretty much confirms that the NSA were monitoring the hijackers phone calls for years, and that 9/11 could and should have been prevented. It was interesting, you should watch it if youalready haven't. So nothing has really changed since then and now. NSA has always been "spying" on its citizens, with the help of large communication corporations.

The 'hijackers" didn't do it. Whoever of them that were involved were likely Mossad doubles who stoled their identity. The real Mohammed Atta was likely dead well before 911-or he was at least one of our agents in the ICA Al Quada division. 9/11 was an inside job. CIA/NSA/Mossad/Saudi/MI6/Neocon operation.  For those of who haven't figured this out  -what they hell have you been doing for the last 12 years?

Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job


Man who blew the whistle on Gladio tells Italy's largest newspaper attacks were run by CIA, Mossad


Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, Francesco Cossiga, has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy’s most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.

Cossiga was elected President of Italian Senate in July 1983 before being winning a landslide 1985 election to become President of the country in 1985.

Cossiga gained respect from opposition parties as one of a rare breed – an honest politician – and led the country for seven years until April 1992.

Cossiga’s tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio – a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60?s, 70?s and 80?s.

Solving 9-11:  The Deception that Changed the World.

Chapter XVI

Making Sense of the 9/11 Cover Up

 

    "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."
- Franklin D. Roosevelt


The facts indicate that the 9/11 cover up is a Zionist Operation in which partisans of the state of Israel have played all the key roles.

If the attacks of 9/11 were truly acts of Muslim Arab terrorists there would be no reason for Zionists to manage the destruction of the evidence.

The terror plot to destroy the World Trade Center had been planned for more than 20 years and was being discussed by senior Israeli intelligence figures in 1980,

I don't know what happened, obviously, but I am confident that the official 9/11 report prepared by/for Congress was a fraudulent, impish product of Kangaroo proceedings, and the American People are being kept in the dark as to the true and full extent of the U.S. Government's ties & dealings with Tim Osmond...I mean Bin Laden, as well as the "hijackers," as well as al-CIA-da...ooops...I mean Al Qaeda.

Here is just one BIZARRE, FACTUAL tidbit few Americans realize, and I'll link to it via an Israeli main stream media/popular newspaper (Haaretz):

Odigo, the instant messaging service, says that two of its workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen, and the company has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement, including the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message predicting the attack.

Micha Macover, CEO of the company, said the two workers received the messages and immediately after the terror attack informed the company's management, which immediately contacted the Israeli security services, which brought in the FBI.

"I have no idea why the message was sent to these two workers, who don't know the sender. It may just have been someone who was joking and turned out they accidentally got it right. And I don't know if our information was useful in any of the arrests the FBI has made," said Macover. Odigo is a U.S.-based company whose headquarters are in New York, with offices in Herzliya.

As an instant messaging service, Odigo users are not limited to sending messages only to people on their "buddy" list, as is the case with ICQ, the other well-known Israeli instant messaging application.

Odigo usually zealously protects the privacy of its registered users, said Macover, but in this case the company took the initiative to provide the law enforcement services with the originating Internet Presence address of the message, so the FBI could track down the Internet Service Provider, and the actual sender of the original message.

http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/odigo-says-workers-were-warned...

If you really want a mind cluster, search "Kobi Alexander, Comverse (with a "m") and Odigo.

Tell me about it. Everytime I fire up the kerosene on my barbeque grill, it collapses into its own footprint at free fall speed. Guess I shouldn't add that office furniture for seasoning. That shit burns real hot. Next I gotta wait weeks for the pool of molten metal to stop burning, so I can dig out my grub. And then all my neighbors come down with some wierd kind of radiation sickness. Luckily, the warranty card survived the conflagration, so I knew within minutes who to blame.

Wish I had some friends at NIST to tell me why this just keeps happening.

Maybe ... but social historian and author Michael Parenti writes:

"Generally, US foreign policy is remarkably consistent and cohesive, a deadly success, given the interests it represents. Those who see it as repeatedly befuddled are themselves revealing their own befuddlement.

 

Sometimes the policymakers themselves seize upon incompetence as a cover. [For
example, when the Iran-Contra affair was discovered, President Reagan
plead incompetence.] His admission of incompetence was eagerly
embraced by various analysts and pundits who prefer to see their leaders
as suffering from innocent ignorance rather than deliberate deception.
Subsequent testimony by his subordinates, however, revealed that Reagan
was not as dumb as he was pretending to be, and that he had played an
active and deciding role in the entire Iran-contra affair.

***

No
less a political personage than Henry Kissinger repeatedly pretended to
innocent ignorance and incompetence when confronted with the dirty role
he and his cohorts played . . . ."

 

This strategy of
"playing dumb" and acting incompetent has, in fact, long been employed
by leaders on both the left and the right. Many liberals and old
fashioned conservatives have been suckered by this dumb and dumber act.

The flight that crashed in PA flew right over my pig farm; a few months later I was butchering a pig and found one of the hijackers passports as well as a thoughtful confession that ended in 'I hates America n shit' in the pigs stomache.

Verbot.EXE. Load courage._module loaded gird thy loins.I will step up on this topic. watched several aircraft do uturns at altitude that day as i was outside looking up. I thought bombing run for first few seconds untill it was clear they were commercial aircraft . Ran in to find out why. Isaw all the early footage and knew that day it was not the aircraft but demolition as puffs of dust came out well ahead of the collapse of wtc on 9\11 .Video may be on youtube. Got in on the early pilots discussion of the pentagon damage and all senior pilots of that type of plane rejects the story with proof of what they concluded.No way that aircraft completed the manoeuvre from the folks who fly them. So ihave known 9\11 was a false flag from that day. The bush family still is allowed to be free after all the proven links and high crimes including treason is chilling to me. It is not anti semetic to remove foreign operatives and agents from our country who just happen to be semetic so why is the mossad all over our agencies? How can aipac be allowed more influence than a natural born American ? Why is Saudi allowed to run terrorist activities with our money? Who is supposed to prevent this? Really, who did not stop what was their duty to prevent happening ? Send George bush Cheney rice rummy et al to the Hague and i will rejoin the American economy again. Until then i live in a nation conquered from the inside by foreign powers (corporate take over is same as foreign take over ) and every dollar i send them is aid to the enemy and the rest of you as well heed my words. Get food and housing and nothing beyond basics and join me in laying fallow and build connections only with local folks while the country is being occupied. Its all of them in government whom are fighting for America i pray for every day.

The forensic analysis of the WTC site had to rely on DNA particulate aa
analysis to identify human remains, yet there were the passports of the hijackers, ejected (presumably) from the jet fueled fireball of a commercial airplane missile strike, drifting gently down to the ground, resting intact amid the rubble, to be easily retrieved in legible fashion.

Thanks for that link, DavidPierre, lots of good inside information, although that only confirmed what I already thought was the case ... Typically, the most astonishing development is the PRIVATIZATION PROCESS, as Engdahl explains, that what the CIA used to do has more and more become privatized enterprises.

Philosophically speaking, I see the historical process of backing up deceits with destruction to have started with the Privatization of God, which then expanded to become increasing Privatization of the Environment. Overall, there has been a runaway triumph of backing up lies with violence, whereby the success of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, enabled the force backed frauds to take over the public "money" supply, in order to privatize that, which then was leveraged up and up and up ... so that the military industrial complex has been turned into a metaphorical Tower of Babel, with phenomena such as what the CIA used to do being PRIVATIZED.

TRAGICALLY, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE CONCLUIONS THAT THE RULING CLASSES ARE CRIMINALLY INSANE, IN THE DEGREE TO WHICH THEY ARE INCREASINGLY WILLING AND ABLE TO RISK STARTING A WORLD WAR USING ATOMIC BOMBS. ... So far, in real history, it has been Russian officers that appear to have prevented that from happening ... But nevetheless, the apparent end-game of the privatization of the planet is to practically kill it!
