http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=10114

1) The Northern Alliance Leader, Ahmed Shah Massoud , is buried - paving the way for installation of an oil company company executive , Hamid Karzai. The likey perps : British intelligence and Pakistan’s ISI
2) The head of Pakistani intelligence arrives in Washington on this day , after wiring 100k to Mohamed Atta. An asset of British intelligence , Omar Saeed Sheikh, facilitates the transaction.

3) Sir David Manning ,Tony Blair’s top foreign policy advisor, meets with Deputy Sec. of State , Rich Armitage in Washington - the latter a recipient of Pakistan’s highest civilian honour.

4) Tom Kenney arrives in NYC late in the evening of 9/10/11.

FEMA denies this claiming that Kenney is mistaken . FEMA insists that the crew arrived in resonse to the events of 9/11.

1. This sounds a bit fishy to me.
From the same article:

5) Investment banking giant Goldman Sachs issues a terror alert to it’s employees and clients on this day . Clients and executives worldwide are admonished to avoid close proximity to tall buildings.

11) Operatives of Mossad receive word that tommorrow is "D-Day". The following morning they will video the World Trade Centre as planes crash into the two gigantic buildings - much to their glee.

2. #5 is a known. As far as #11 goes, some Israelis were arrested ..
Edited on Sat Jan-28-06 10:50 PM by TomInTib
while filming the towers from atop a van on the Brooklyn (?) Bridge. Someone called in after seeing thse guys filming and "dancing" atop a mover's van.
These were Israeli citizens with Mossad ID. Immediately released from custody.
The owner of the moving company disappeared only to show up in Israel later.
These are "knowns".
What is also "known" is that an Admiral connected with US Intel was later quoted as saying "Israeli involvement in 9/11 is classified and we have no comment" or words pretty much to that effect.

I am no tin-hatter but have followed this enough to know that everything in that list is a matter of record.

I so wish none of it was true.

3. I think it all is true as well and I'm sure much could be added
from that day.

If one follows the chat below, way to the bottom are some links provided.

4. color me extremely skeptical.

Israel would have everything to lose being identified as being involved with 9/11 (either as an active participant or having pre-knowledge of the attacks). Point (5) reminds me of the long-since-disproven claim that the Jews were given warning of 9/11 and did not report to work that day in the Towers. Your Admiral might have been quoted out of context.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence, so the old saying goes. We know who did 9/11: a cell of about 20 members of al Qaeda; a terrorist organization that was an offshoot of a coalition of Islamic fighters assembled by the Saudis, the Pakistanis and the US to fight the Russians in Afghanistan (in the 1980s). There was no direct state involvement in 9/11 (the Bush administration tried to claim Iraq was involved, but this is no longer regarded as credible).

We know al Qaeda is responsible for several reasons:
  • One, they had the motive: As early as 1996, they declared war on the US, giving six specific grievances (our support of Israel, our propping up of repressive, corrupt regimes in the Middle East, our plundering of their oil wealth, etc).
  • Two, 9/11 was actually the third or fourth major terrorist operation by this organization (following the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole in 2000). An earlier plot to destroy 12 airliners over the Pacific was disrupted by the Philippines.
  • And three, al Qaeda, including bin Laden himself, have publicly acknowledged responsibility for 9/11.


The only thing the Bush people did (or their neocon supporters and allies, including perhaps some Israelis) was exploit the tragic events to further their own pre-existing agenda to "do" Iraq. To my mind, this is heinous enough.

6. So is that more of a Let It Happen or
It just happened because of their incompetence, but they were still smart enough to use it to their advantage. Heinous enough I agree!

Of course one needs to believe much of the official story about the 20 bad eggs from Saudi Arabia and the whole Bin Laden Boogeyman scenario.

5. Not the actual memo, but reference to it
http://www.counterpunch.org/aftershocks.html

In addition to what we have previously reported about heightened security at the World Trade Center itself in the weeks leading to the attack and at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway, New Jersey, CounterPunch has also learned that an internal memo was sent around Goldman Sachs in Tokyo on September 10 advising all employees of a possible terrorist attack. It recommended all employees to avoid any American government buildings.
