MORE FBI AGENTS EXPOSE "THE OCTOPUS"
A steady stream of whistleblowers - I wonder why?

Two courageous FBI agent's revelations send mixed messages. First, the carefully scripted opening salvo from the two agents is the clasic diversionary couching technique which is now standard LieSpeak. The agency, "failed," this time the word was, "incompetent." But if you know the pressure these agents feel for what they are doing you would know that they had no choice but to speak in these terms. And while the whole thing could be a disinfo psy-op it is possible that their whistleblowing is indeed a brave and daring act. For sure if they are indeed genuine and they spoke what I believe could really be on their minds (That there are people in the highest positions of power in the US who are behind the attacks) they would be destroyed. And so it is possible that their expose could be a genuine effort to cautiously let a little more of the cat out of the bag.

The now classic "failed" and "incompetent" framing of the issue is, of course, a typical disinfo tactic designed to divert us from the real terms, "complicit," and "treasonous."

That's how it's done - by framing the answer to a question as only one of two possible choices - failure and/or incompetence - the real and terrifing details of what actually happened is never even presented as a choice.

But the truth is a VERY DIFFERENT story.

The terrifing truth is that industrialists here in America ploted this failed attempt at global conquest through an attempt at rallying the US population by means of a sudden and terrifing attack. Another Pearl Harbour. Know your history.

But these FBI agents send us a hidden message when they describe their supervisors, literally screaming at them and threatening them if they attempted to arrest known terrorists who these two agents had in their reach. Agent Wright, a 27 year veteren of the FBI said that his supervisor told him to, "Let sleeping dogs lie." They are telling us that those terrorists were protected AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE US GOVERNMENT. And that means only one thing - that a descision was made by the architects of the New World Order that a sudden and terrifing attack was desperatly needed to prop us this republic, to give the idiot President Bush and the American people a diversionary and unifying threat to focus on while his dad and his dad's friends LOOT THE US TREASURY THROUGH INSIDER ARMS DEALS FOR OUTDATED AND USELESS WEAPON SYSTEMS MADE BY INSIDER COMPANIES CONNECTED TO BUSHES FATHER. Our intelligence agencies desperately needed to to prop up this idiotic Bush or else his presidency was going to quickly DESTROY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And so the planes of September...

Americans need to demand to know the name of that FBI supervisor who aided and abetted the terrorist activity and charge him with treason and mass murder against the people of the United States of America. That supervisor's life and liberty must be held accountable until he talks and exposes who he got his orders from. Then when we find out who he got his orders from, that person must be charged with treason and mass murder until he reveals who he got his order from. And so on and so on, until we follow the crime up the chain to the top. Then and only then will we get to the bottom of this most horrific act of terrorism perpetrated against the people of the United States of America.

Here's ABC's report:


Dec. 19 — Two veteran FBI investigators say they were ordered to stop investigations into a suspected terror cell linked to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network and the Sept. 11 attacks

In a dramatic interview with ABCNEWS, FBI special agents and partners Robert Wright and John Vincent say they were called off criminal investigations of suspected terrorists tied to the deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. U.S. officials say al Qaeda was responsible for the embassy attacks and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States.
"September the 11th is a direct result of the incompetence of the FBI's International Terrorism Unit. No doubt about that. Absolutely no doubt about that," Wright said. "You can't know the things I know and not go public."

In the mid-1990s, with growing terrorism in the Middle East, the two Chicago-based agents were assigned to track a connection to Chicago, a suspected terrorist cell that would later lead them to a link with Osama bin Laden. Wright says that when he pressed for authorization to open a criminal investigation into the money trail, his supervisor stopped him.

"Do you know what his response was? 'I think it's just better to let sleeping dogs lie,'" said Wright. "Those dogs weren't sleeping. They were training. They were getting ready."

The FBI says its handling of the matter was appropriate at the time.

"Truthfully, if 9/11 had not occurred, we wouldn't be here [giving the interview]," said Vincent, a 27-year veteran at the bureau until he retired a few days after being interviewed by ABCNEWS. "Because of 9/11, we're here because we see the danger."

‘You Will Not Open Criminal Investigations’

The suspected terrorist cell in Chicago was the basis of the investigation, yet Wright, who remains with the FBI, says he soon discovered that all the FBI intelligence division wanted him to do was to follow suspected terrorists and file reports — but make no arrests.

"The supervisor who was there from headquarters was right straight across from me and started yelling at me: 'You will not open criminal investigations. I forbid any of you. You will not open criminal investigations against any of these intelligence subjects,'" Wright said.

Even though they were on a terrorism task force and said they had proof of criminal activity, Wright said he was told not to pursue the matter.

In 1998 al Qaeda terrorists bombed two American embassies in Africa. The agents say some of the money for the attacks led back to the people they had been tracking in Chicago and to a powerful Saudi Arabian businessman, Yassin al-Kadi. Al-Kadi is one of 12 Saudi businessmen suspected of funneling millions of dollars to al Qaeda and who had extensive business and financial ties in Chicago.

Yet, even after the bombings, Wright said FBI headquarters wanted no arrests.

"Two months after the embassies are hit in Africa, they wanted to shut down the criminal investigation," said Wright. "They wanted to kill it."

The move outraged Chicago federal prosecutor Mark Flessner, who was assigned to the case despite efforts Wright and Vincent say were made by superiors to block the probe. Flessner said Wright and Vincent were helping him build a strong criminal case against al-Kadi and others.

"There were powers bigger than I was in the Justice Department and within the FBI that simply were not going to let it [the building of a criminal case] happen. And it didn't happen, " Flessner said.

He said he still couldn't figure out why Washington stopped the case — whether it was Saudi influence or bureaucratic ineptitude.

"I think there were very serious mistakes made," said Flessner. "And I think, it perhaps cost, it cost people their lives ultimately."

Muslim Agent Refused to Record Fellow Muslim, Agent Says

Perhaps most astounding of the many mistakes, according to Flessner and an affidavit filed by Wright, is how an FBI agent named Gamal Abdel-Hafiz seriously damaged the investigation. Wright says Abdel-Hafiz, who is Muslim, refused to secretly record one of al-Kadi's suspected associates, who was also Muslim. Wright says Abdel-Hafiz told him, Vincent and other agents that "a Muslim doesn't record another Muslim."

"He wouldn't have any problems interviewing or recording somebody who wasn't a Muslim, but he could never record another Muslim," said Vincent.

Wright said he "was floored" by Abdel-Hafiz's refusal and immediately called the FBI headquarters. Their reaction surprised him even more: "The supervisor from headquarters says, 'Well, you have to understand where he's coming from, Bob.' I said no, no, no, no, no. I understand where I'm coming from," said Wright. "We both took the same damn oath to defend this country against all enemies foreign and domestic, and he just said no? No way in hell."

Far from being reprimanded, Abdel-Hafiz was promoted to one of the FBI's most important anti-terrorism posts, the American Embassy in Saudi Arabia, to handle investigations for the FBI in that Muslim country.

The FBI said it was unaware of the allegations against the Muslim agent when he was sent to Saudi Arabia or of two similar incidents described to ABCNEWS by agents in New York and Tampa, Fla. They said Abdel-Hafiz contributed significantly to many successful terror investigations.

In a statement to ABCNEWS, the FBI also defended the agent, saying he had a right to refuse because the undercover recording was supposed to take place in a mosque.

But former prosecutor Flessner said that was a lie and the mosque was never part of the plan.

"What he [Abdel-Hafiz] said was, it was against his religion to record another Muslim. I was dumbfounded by that response," said Flessner. "And I had perfectly appropriate conversations with the supervisors of his home office and nothing came of it."

Closing In on Bin Laden Money Trail

On Sept. 11, 2001, the two agents watched the terror attacks in horror, worried that men they could have stopped years earlier may have been involved.

The White House confirmed their fears. One month after the attacks, the U.S. government officially identified al-Kadi — the same man the FBI had ordered Wright and Vincent to leave alone years earlier — as one of bin Laden's important financiers.

Al-Kadi told ABCNEWS he can prove his total innocence, repeatedly denying, from his office in Riyadh, any connection to bin Laden or al Qaeda.

"Not even one cent went to Osama bin Laden," he said.

But on Dec. 6, U.S. Customs agents, as part of their own investigation, conducted a midnight search of a Boston-area company believed to be secretly owned and controlled by al-Kadi.

The company provides computer software to the FBI and other key federal agencies, which means al-Kadi and his employees could have had access to some of the government's most sensitive secrets.

Al-Kadi is on the U.S. government's "dirty dozen" list of leading terror financiers being investigated by the CIA. The federal government says it is pursuing possible criminal charges.

"I was relieved that Customs was picking it up … where we failed big time," said Wright. "There's so much more. God, there's so much more. A lot more."

Hi vox--(freedom 1)--Textbook case of disinfo: Address and satisfy dull suspicions of massmedia-fed citizens, giving them that good "Aha!" feeling--direct all attention back to "Muslims"--and timed to coincide w/mass round-ups of "aliens" in LA.
I wonder--do those behind this go home at night, or stop in the bar for a beer, w/a feeling of having done something good for their country? or are they smirking at having manipulated millions of minds once again? If latter, a suggestion: Maybe time to pull back a bit--you've overextended yourselves and have so many areas to cover up that it's starting to fray a little around the edges...too much smoke. and more and more people (even here in your country!) are wondering where the fire is.

Sleeping Dogs
Thanks for the insight Vox

In the mid-1990s, with growing terrorism in the Middle East, the two Chicago-based agents were assigned to track a connection to Chicago, a suspected terrorist cell that would later lead them to a link with Osama bin Laden. Wright says that when he pressed for authorization to open a criminal investigation into the money trail, his supervisor stopped him.
"Do you know what his response was? 'I think it's just better to let sleeping dogs lie,'" said Wright. "Those dogs weren't sleeping. They were training. They were getting ready."

That’s what the highest profile lawyer in Lincoln told me when I told him I thought I had a case against the state for chilling my First and Second Amendment rights. He repeated, “Let sleeping dogs lie.” These dog in Lincoln aren’t sleeping, either. They’re scanning the environment at all times for symptoms of dissent and resistance. If they locate the source of something serious, they send out a goon squad to quash it. Yes, the trick is for us to overwhelm their scanners with serious threats to the status quo. The dogs were definitely not sleeping back when the lawyer told me to leave them alone. The dogs were preparing the Nebraska Capitol to become Reichsfuehrer Bush’s new digs. I know of no larger Baal temple in the world. The level of worship that takes place therein must be mind-boggling. Good Lord, and I unwittingly soiled their festivities by figuratively painting the picture of masses of bib-overalled farmers running wild-eyed up to the Capitol at night with torches and pitchforks to tear down the Baal temple like it says in the Bible.

“All the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars.” (2 Chronicles 23:17)

“They demolished the sacred stone of Baal and tore down the temple of Baal, and people have used it as a latrine to this day.” (2 Kings 10:27)

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Eph. 5:11)

I told 20 or 30 of my classmates in the University of Nebraska College of Law what Campus Police and Campus Mental Health had done to me. When the Captain and Behavior Profiler from the Nebraska State Patrol drove over to put the FEAR in me, the Profiler asked if I had talked to about 30 of my classmates about what I thought about the Capitol. Don’t worry, I did not become a lawyer. It would be exactly like becoming a demon.

“Let sleeping dogs lie.” Could this be a FBI reference to sleeper agents? As in, leave the sleeper agents alone?

When agents start to speak, so is some of the truth discovered.

At least not all agents are soulless.

Let's hope some of them will be so fed up in a near future to help the Global Resistance (because it does exist and your governement can't do shit against it.)

We will win and exterminate these devils.

Know you history, know your rights, know your economy and take your gun.

Webb Cook,

I appreciate your posts, experience, and your courage.

Rodney Stitch, author of "Defrauding America", and other books, demonstrated that from the beginning of his work for the FAA, he tried to enforce the law.
But his bosses put him in an office with no work. Then they framed him. Then they made him go through his divorce all over again. They put him in federal prison where he met many similarly victimized. He almost never found a lawyer who did not betray him. He had to defend himself in court. They took everything he had.

By his publishing his books, he gained some, and helped all of his readers to understand his struggle to defend us against the criminals.

I expect that when my resistance becomes too effective, that they will get me. Certainly I'm afraid, but I will die before I will knowingly serve them. I must not have been effective enough yet. This is a good day to die.

God bless you in all that you do.

Peace, courage, and joy,

Check out www.unansweredquestions.org
It's a site for the victim's families and it has Rober Wright's press conference from C-Span. His revalations are truly damning and that's why the TV version was sanitized. The FBI made their people stand down in the runup to 9-11. Why? The site also has transcripts from UnAnsweredQuestions' own kick-off press conference at the National Press Club which C-Span refused to carry despite lots of phone calls asking them to. Mary Sciavo speaks at the kick-off; she's a former Transportation Department official. She reads an insurance analysis that shows the most likely terrorist attack scenario to befall the United States would be airliners into skyscapers. The government had strategized about that scenario for years preceeding 9-11...and it's no secret. So, Condoleeza, you're not fooling anyone. The military stood down that day. Why?

Isn't it nice how the FBI puts out a warning that airplanes still face a shoe and coat bomb threat during the week of Christmas, when many people will be flying to visit their family. Instead of people thinking about Christmas and their friends and family while they are flying, they will be be thinking about islamic shoe bombers blowing up their plane. I bet the Satanists in DC are just full of smiles and giggles when such blatant lies are told through the media to terrorize the public. Merry Christmas everone!

Is there a connection, or a similarity, between pointing out the rulers were undermining the credibility of the temple, by their having a conflict of interest, i.e., their relationship with the money-lenders, and our pointing out that the rulers of our country have a conflicted relationship with foreign and domestic dictators and liars who stand to profit from our suffering? I think one stands either with Jesus, as a defender of his people, or with the rulers who like the saducees stood with Rome or George who now stands with terrorists everywhere. The credibility of our own devices, (our abilities,) is at stake. There is more to the world than George's point of view.

Someone needs to contact these individuals (or at least John Vincent, who is no longer w/ the FBI) for a follow-up interview. If they are serious about people wanting to know the facts then they would be happy to expound on their knowledge and they would be equally disgusted by the way ABC twisted and shortened their main points. I would do so but have no outlet to sell them that their full story would get out.

Also, does anyone know why exec. order W1991 was named that and where the text may be? 9/11/1991 was when Shrub SR mentioned the NWO.

WHAT REMAINS MUST BE THE TRUTH
Paul Balles*

“When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains--however improbable--must be the truth.” --Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Not long after September 11, 2001, a story surfaced on the Internet accusing the Israelis of taking part in a conspiracy that resulted in the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. The origin of the story was attributed to Jordan's Al Watan newspaper; and it was reported that Pakistani publications followed by Islamic clerics in the Middle East and Central Asia spread the story.

Another tragedy was born and reared out of those reports. A number of anti-Semitic bigots hopped on the bandwagon of that ill-considered, wild conjecture and misused it to feed their rant against Jews.

As might be expected, a number of people stormed onto the Internet to debunk the Israel conspiracy theories. That effectively put an end to questioning the official story of a plot generated by Osama bin Laden and executed by his Al-Qaeda operatives. No one dared ask the most important question: Who stood to benefit from the catastrophe that killed thousands on September 11, 2001?

Al-Qaeda? What benefit? Even terrorists need a cause. "They hate America" isn't a cause. "They're jealous of America's freedoms" isn't a cause.

Saudi Arabia? Michael Moore suggests this in Dude, Where’s My Country. But why? If there were an affair between Bush and the Saudi royal family, how would 9/11 ever benefit the Saudis? No conceivable benefit accrues to either the Saudi royal family or the Saudi military.

America's oil interests? This seems to be a favourite among guessing pundits. However, if the Bush cabal and the Saudis are in cahoots, they already have Middle East oil interests sewn up. There's plenty of time to worry about Afghanistan gas pipes and Iraqi oil when supplies get dangerously low. Why burn up millions of gallons of fuel in a war to protect fuel supplies for control of Iraqi oil? For what? In order to pay for the war costs?

What about G.W. Bush and the Republican Party? While the “Patriot” theme and “fighting terrorism” undoubtedly aided the Republicans in the 2002 elections as well as their legislative agenda, the risk of prolonged occupations accompanied by deaths of military personnel argue against any long term benefit to Bush and his party. Combine that with continued loss of credibility over the falsehoods used to justify unilateral attacks on Iraq, and any potential benefit seen earlier goes up in smoke.

The Bilderberg group and the financial interests of a "New World Order"? That international finance has been served by 9/11 seems obvious with the US being looted to serve a trans-national elite with no allegiance to any nation. That they're organized enough to plan and execute a national disaster like 9/11 is impossible. (http://www.nexusmagazine.com/Bilderbergers.html)

Israel? Without a sliver of doubt, Israel was/is the major benefactor of the 9/11 strike. How has Israel benefited? Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, believed that Iraq could have weapons of mass destruction and Israel wanted Iraq neutralized before they had a chance to use them against Israel. (http://pballes.com/updates9.htm)

Israeli hawks have, since the beginnings of their occupation of Palestine, wanted to rid Palestine of the Palestinians. So long as Palestinians remained in the occupied territories, an Iraqi missile strike that would kill more Palestinians than Israelis was impossible. So long as Iraq possessed a capacity to even develop WMD’s it would be impossible for Israel to get rid of the Palestinians. Thus, getting control of Iraq facilitated Israel's ultimate desire to eliminate the Palestinians.

How does 9/11 fit into the Iraq-Israel scenario? 9/11 provided the clarion call for the so-called war against terrorism. Without 9/11, the U.S. would have had no excuse for invading Afghanistan. The battle against Al-Qaeda and bin Laden was the precursor to the invasion of Iraq; and the trumped up connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda provided the excuse for invading Iraq.

There's no doubt that Israel's Mossad, the Middle East intelligence experts as far as America is concerned, provided the assessment of Iraq's WMD's to America. The following Associated Press report (December 8, 2003) makes clear, though perhaps unwittingly, that Israelis believed that Iraq had WMD's.

ISRAELI intelligence overplayed the threat posed by Iraq and reinforced an assumption by American and British counterparts that Saddam Hussein had large caches of weapons of mass destruction, a retired Israeli general said today, after studying the run-up to the US-led invasion of Iraq.

The Israeli assessment may have been coloured by politics, including a desire to see Saddam Hussein toppled, said Shlomo Brom, once a senior Israeli military intelligence officer and now a researcher with Israel's top strategic think tank.

Brom stopped short of accusing intelligence officials of intentionally misleading Britain and the United States.

...

Brom said in an interview today that "Israeli intelligence was a full partner with the United States and Britain in developing a false picture of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction capability".

He said Israeli intelligence "badly overestimated the Iraqi threat to Israel and reinforced the American and British belief that the weapons existed".

Brom said the Israeli assessment might have been influenced by politics.

Brom's last comment was a gross understatement! And while he stopped short of accusing Mossad of intentionally misleading Britain and the United States, there's little doubt that's exactly what happened.

Considering again the answer to the question “who benefited from 9/11?” it becomes perfectly clear that Israel, and Israel alone, had reason to plot and execute the disaster that hit The World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the four flights involved in that fateful September day in 2001. Israel, however, couldn't possibly have executed such a plan alone without help from some US authorities. Who might possibly provide the means for accomplishing that genocidal goal?

The FBI and the CIA along with the general category of "the Bush Administration" have been suggested in conjecture about possible accomplices in a conspiracy. "The Bush Administration" is much too broad to even be nominated for serious consideration, with the ever-present possibility that somewhere among the ranks there might be a whistle blower with a conscience.

The FBI has certainly refused to cooperate with inquirers outside the government; but that refusal to release information in ongoing investigations cannot be logically interpreted as part of a cover-up. The same can be said for the CIA. Additionally people in both agencies have revealed that they had advanced knowledge of the potential hijackings.

Apart from other considerations, the CIA, having shared intelligence with Mossad and having been burnt on a number of those occasions with false intelligence, would have no love lost for the deceivers among their Israeli counterparts. According to Gordon Thomas, “both the FBI and CIA regard Mossad as a clear and present danger to U.S. national security.” (http://www.antiwar.com/orig/thomas2.html)

Who's left as cooperative partners in the 9/11 executions that would form the basis for the American invasions against all objections from most of the rest of the world? The process of elimination leaves only the Department of Defence (DoD). Its leaders are secretive enough to keep its plans under wraps. To violate the top-secret code of silence, even by someone who later felt moved by conscience to disclose the truth, would be cause for court martial and a death sentence for treason, if not to an assassination made to look like a suicide.

Unlike the CIA, which has "never killed Americans" in its covert activities, the DoD has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, both in the military and among civilians considered as collateral damage. The DoD has no qualms about killing Americans when it serves their purpose.

For 60 years the DoD managed to cover up their prior knowledge of the planned Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese that killed 4575 US Navy personnel. The DoD also stopped US fighter jets from scrambling to end the Israeli massacre of US Navy personnel on the USS Liberty. (http://www.ussliberty.org/)

The DoD is the only body that could have kept the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) from performing its duty to scramble fighter jets to intercept the hijacked planes on 9/11. The DoD was in the position to stop the hijacked jets from performing their mission. They didn’t (http://www.publicaction.com/911/noradsend2.html), and they’ve never answered why they didn’t.

Similarly, just as they were in a position to stop the attack on Pearl Harbor, they did not. There was no excuse for that failure other than using the attack to justify U.S. entry into WWII. That the DoD did not intercept the hijacked aircraft on 9/11 is evidence that they wanted the end result to happen and participated in the attack.

Leading civilians in the DoD figure among US leaders serving Israel. Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Douglas Feith have been more devoted to Israeli interests than they have to those of America. At best, they have acted as "dual loyalists."

Some background on these dual loyalists of the DoD:

Paul Wolfowitz, United States Secretary of Defence: "The neoconservative members of President Bush's cabinet led by Wolfowitz advocated pre-emptive strikes on terror cells in Afghanistan." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wolfowitz)

"Wolfowitz, a 'hawkish' conservative military analyst under Ronald Reagan, had in the 1990s, during the Clinton presidency formulated a new foreign policy with regard to Iraq and other 'potential aggressor states', dismissing ‘containment’ in favour of ‘pre-emption’; strike first to eliminate threats.” Such a strike could not be made without an attack like Pearl Harbor or like 9/11. (http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Paul_Wolfowitz)

Richard Perle, previously chairman, now member of the Defence Policy Board for the DoD: together with Douglas Feith and Richard Wurmser, Perle authored a paper “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” in 1996 which declared that “removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq' was an “important Israeli strategic objective...” (http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Richard_N._Perle) That removal could not be accomplished without a 'casus belli' (an event used to justify war).

Douglas Feith, Undersecretary of Policy at the U.S. Department of Defence: "A prolific writer, Feith has left a long paper trail of anti-Arab tracts and diatribes against those who challenge or seek to compromise Israel’s strength and as he defines it, ‘moral superiority’ over the Arabs." (http://middleeastinfo.org/article701.html) Feith would participate in any plot to advance Israel's interests at the expense of the Arabs.

Along with the DoD triumvirate, add the two white house controllers. First, David Wurmser, whose Israeli wife and close friend Perle make him the perfect conduit to VP Richard Cheney. "...it was precisely because of the strategic importance of the Levant that Wurmser advocated overthrowing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in favor of an Iraqi National Congress.... 'Whoever inherits Iraq dominates the entire Levant strategically,' he wrote in one 1996 paper for the Jerusalem-based Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies." (http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=David_Wurmser. Iraq could not be 'inherited' without 9/11 as an excuse for a pre-emptive strike.

The second, Elliot Abrams, described in The Nation as "the nastiest policy warrior as Washington has seen in decades" was convicted of lying to Congress about the Iran Contra affair and he serves Israel in the National Security Council. As Jim Lobe observed in Tom Paine "Israel's Likud Scores Big With White House Appointment." Abrams would have no qualms about sacrificing American lives for Israel's benefit.

All of these Likudite Bush aides are unequivocal supporters of Israel's conservative Likud Party, now headed by the 'Butcher of Sabra & Shatilla' Ariel Sharon; and the dual loyalists have past ties either to Likud or to Israeli companies.

Having eliminated the impossible, what remains is not as improbable as it might have looked at first. What remains are people in the DoD with a motive. Combine that with the history of deception of both Mossad and the DoD as well as their proven willingness to sacrifice American lives for their causes.

Victor Ostrovsky (By Way of Deception and The Other Side of Deception) made it perfectly clear that Mossad often infiltrated any organization it wanted to watch and/or control. For them, infiltrating Al-Qaeda cells would be a cinch; and getting a number of Arabs to hijack planes under any ruse would be normal Mossad behaviour. Ostrovsky, former Mossad agent, revealed how Mossad got America to bomb Libya and fight Iraq. There’s plenty of evidence of Mossad agents posing as Arabs, thus supplying the "means" for the attacks and blaming Al-Qaeda and the Arabs. (http://www.fpp.co.uk/BoD/Mossad/FakePalestinians.html)

There's no reason to believe that the Arabs involved in the hijacking, who were not the expert flyers with the skills required to accomplish the flying feats of 9/11, had a clue about where they would end up in planes guided by remote control. All the hijackers had to do was turn over the guidance to ground control in the hands of the DoD. (http://www.911-strike.com/remote_bb.htm)

Since the supposed Arab hijackers couldn't even fly small planes solo, according to the testimony of their flight instructors, and since remote control devices had proven effective, the process of elimination again points to the only conclusion remaining: 9/11 was planned and executed by Mossad and the DoD in order to justify military action in the Middle East for the major benefactor, Israel.

Until now, the belief that Israel could have anything to do with planning or executing the atrocities of 9/11 have been arbitrarily dismissed as ‘conspiracy theory’. The Anti Defamation League (ADL) in America has labelled any such beliefs as anti-Semitic. Conveniently, the ADL has chosen to ignore the fact that Arabs are also Semites. Furthermore, presenting a well-reasoned case against Israel—even when it or its agent’s activities are criminal—does not constitute anti Semitism. Israel, through its admittedly deceptive intelligence arm, Mossad, in tandem with a DoD run by "dual loyalists", had all that it takes to establish a case in a court of law: the means, the motive and the opportunity.

If the ADL or any other group wishes to protect its followers from the dangers of spreading anti-Semitism, they need to closely examine the activities of the war hawks in both Tel Aviv (or Jerusalem) and Washington. Most importantly, they need to ask and seek an honest answer to the question: who benefited from the catastrophe that killed thousands on September 11, 2001?

WHAT REMAINS MUST BE THE TRUTH
Paul Balles*

“When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains--however improbable--must be the truth.” --Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Not long after September 11, 2001, a story surfaced on the Internet accusing the Israelis of taking part in a conspiracy that resulted in the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. The origin of the story was attributed to Jordan's Al Watan newspaper; and it was reported that Pakistani publications followed by Islamic clerics in the Middle East and Central Asia spread the story.

Another tragedy was born and reared out of those reports. A number of anti-Semitic bigots hopped on the bandwagon of that ill-considered, wild conjecture and misused it to feed their rant against Jews.

As might be expected, a number of people stormed onto the Internet to debunk the Israel conspiracy theories. That effectively put an end to questioning the official story of a plot generated by Osama bin Laden and executed by his Al-Qaeda operatives. No one dared ask the most important question: Who stood to benefit from the catastrophe that killed thousands on September 11, 2001?

Al-Qaeda? What benefit? Even terrorists need a cause. "They hate America" isn't a cause. "They're jealous of America%

That effectively put an end to questioning the official story of a plot generated by Osama bin Laden and executed by his Al-Qaeda operatives. No one dared ask the most important question: Who stood to benefit from the catastrophe that killed thousands on September 11, 2001?

Al-Qaeda? What benefit? Even terrorists need a cause. "They hate America" isn't a cause. "They're jealous of America's freedoms" isn't a cause.

Saudi Arabia? Michael Moore suggests this in Dude, Where’s My Country. But why? If there were an affair between Bush and the Saudi royal family, how would 9/11 ever benefit the Saudis? No conceivable benefit accrues to either the Saudi royal family or the Saudi military.

America's oil interests? This seems to be a favourite among guessing pundits. However, if the Bush cabal and the Saudis are in cahoots, they already have Middle East oil interests sewn up. There's plenty of time to worry about Afghanistan gas pipes and Iraqi oil when supplies get dangerously low. Why burn up millions of gallons of fuel in a war to protect fuel supplies for control of Iraqi oil? For what? In order to pay for the war costs?

What about G.W. Bush and the Republican Party? While the “Patriot” theme and “fighting terrorism” undoubtedly aided the Republicans in the 2002 elections as well as their legislative agenda, the risk of prolonged occupations accompanied by deaths of military personnel argue against any long term benefit to Bush and his party. Combine that with continued loss of credibility over the falsehoods used to justify unilateral attacks on Iraq, and any potential benefit seen earlier goes up in smoke.

The Bilderberg group and the financial interests of a "New World Order"? That international finance has been served by 9/11 seems obvious with the US being looted to serve a trans-national elite with no allegiance to any nation. That they're organized enough to plan and execute a national disaster like 9/11 is impossible. (http://www.nexusmagazine.com/Bilderbergers.html)

Israel? Without a sliver of doubt, Israel was/is the major benefactor of the 9/11 strike. How has Israel benefited? Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, believed that Iraq could have weapons of mass destruction and Israel wanted Iraq neutralized before they had a chance to use them against Israel. (http://pballes.com/updates9.htm)

Israeli hawks have, since the beginnings of their occupation of Palestine, wanted to rid Palestine of the Palestinians. So long as Palestinians remained in the occupied territories, an Iraqi missile strike that would kill more Palestinians than Israelis was impossible. So long as Iraq possessed a capacity to even develop WMD’s it would be impossible for Israel to get rid of the Palestinians. Thus, getting control of Iraq facilitated Israel's ultimate desire to eliminate the Palestinians.

How does 9/11 fit into the Iraq-Israel scenario? 9/11 provided the clarion call for the so-called war against terrorism. Without 9/11, the U.S. would have had no excuse for invading Afghanistan. The battle against Al-Qaeda and bin Laden was the precursor to the invasion of Iraq; and the trumped up connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda provided the excuse for invading Iraq.

There's no doubt that Israel's Mossad, the Middle East intelligence experts as far as America is concerned, provided the assessment of Iraq's WMD's to America. The following Associated Press report (December 8, 2003) makes clear, though perhaps unwittingly, that Israelis believed that Iraq had WMD's.

ISRAELI intelligence overplayed the threat posed by Iraq and reinforced an assumption by American and British counterparts that Saddam Hussein had large caches of weapons of mass destruction, a retired Israeli general said today, after studying the run-up to the US-led invasion of Iraq.

The Israeli assessment may have been coloured by politics, including a desire to see Saddam Hussein toppled, said Shlomo Brom, once a senior Israeli military intelligence officer and now a researcher with Israel's top strategic think tank.

Brom stopped short of accusing intelligence officials of intentionally misleading Britain and the United States.

...

Brom said in an interview today that "Israeli intelligence was a full partner with the United States and Britain in developing a false picture of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction capability".

He said Israeli intelligence "badly overestimated the Iraqi threat to Israel and reinforced the American and British belief that the weapons existed".

Brom said the Israeli assessment might have been influenced by politics.

Brom's last comment was a gross understatement! And while he stopped short of accusing Mossad of intentionally misleading Britain and the United States, there's little doubt that's exactly what happened.

Considering again the answer to the question “who benefited from 9/11?” it becomes perfectly clear that Israel, and Israel alone, had reason to plot and execute the disaster that hit The World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the four flights involved in that fateful September day in 2001. Israel, however, couldn't possibly have executed such a plan alone without help from some US authorities. Who might possibly provide the means for accomplishing that genocidal goal?

The FBI and the CIA along with the general category of "the Bush Administration" have been suggested in conjecture about possible accomplices in a conspiracy. "The Bush Administration" is much too broad to even be nominated for serious consideration, with the ever-present possibility that somewhere among the ranks there might be a whistle blower with a conscience.

The FBI has certainly refused to cooperate with inquirers outside the government; but that refusal to release information in ongoing investigations cannot be logically interpreted as part of a cover-up. The same can be said for the CIA. Additionally people in both agencies have revealed that they had advanced knowledge of the potential hijackings.

Apart from other considerations, the CIA, having shared intelligence with Mossad and having been burnt on a number of those occasions with false intelligence, would have no love lost for the deceivers among their Israeli counterparts. According to Gordon Thomas, “both the FBI and CIA regard Mossad as a clear and present danger to U.S. national security.” (http://www.antiwar.com/orig/thomas2.html)

Who's left as cooperative partners in the 9/11 executions that would form the basis for the American invasions against all objections from most of the rest of the world? The process of elimination leaves only the Department of Defence (DoD). Its leaders are secretive enough to keep its plans under wraps.
