Read the 28 Pages for Yourself. The Saudi 9-11 Connection Declassified
House Intelligence Committee ^ | December 2002 | Congressional Intelligence Committees

Posted on 07/16/2016 11:43:54 PM PDT by BeauBo

Read the 28 pages for yourself at the link. http://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/files/documents/declasspart4.pdf

Bottom Line: The Saudi Ambassador to the USA, Prince Bandar, and a bunch of intelligence officers from his embassy, were either running the 9-11 operation, or heavily supporting it up to their eyeballs. It was an act of war, in my opinion.

Although the predominance of evidence is damning, they treat it as not definitive enough to prove it to have been official Government policy, rather than just heavy infiltration of the Government by al Queda sympathizers.

It showed me that the mosques and organizations established by Saudis in this country were, and likely still are, used to launder terrorist financing and serve as logistical support for terrorists.

Other Saudi embassies around the world were also providing similar support and financing through the same front groups, and they involved contractors and government personnel from multiple Saudi Ministries, like Defense, Interior and Aviation; as well as charities controlled by members of the royal family. When talking about the largest Saudi charity, al Haramain, the report stated that this raised questions about Prince Nayef as well.

Clearly the most damning statements are still redacted, but the conclusion seems to be that before 9-11, American Counter-intelligence did not view the Government of Saudi Arabia as a threat to the US, but after the initial investigation, they must treat it as such.

Richard Clarke said in 2003 that he made the decision to allow around 140 Saudis to be flown out of the USA shortly after 9/11.

I hate to agree with Schumer (see article) on much, but he was right that this whole thing was handled wrongly. At best it was rushed and premature, since there should have been thorough investigations and interrogations before deciding that all those Saudis (including members of Bin Laden's family!) were truly not connected in any way to the plot. There was no way the FBI could know so quickly that all of 140 Saudis were NOT connected to the plot.... it was simply impossible to have vetted all of them so quickly, even if the necessary info was somehow available somewhere. The whole thing stinks to the heavens.

Whether Clarke is lying and taking the heat for someone else is another question, but I doubt he'd ever have done so for Bush or Cheney. He turned out to be quite hostile to the Bush admin.

[ TAKE THE OIL ]

I have a better idea!

Capture the Saudi Princes who spent money on radicalizing and building mosques around the world (damn near all of them).

Then drag them out into the street and force them at gun point to drink Saudi crude oil until they DIE!

Then repeat this process on the American Traitors who facilitated those princes.

THEN, TAKE THE OIL!

what’s worse, saudi arabia’s involvement in the attack - or our very own american government for having misdirected, obfuscated, and outright conspired to keep the truth (what’s new) from we the people, it’s (supposed) true leaders?~ :smh:

and while pondering our nations usurpers, as many as possible need to familiarize themselves with two books continually found amongst jihadis; milestones (sayyid qutb) and the quranic concept of war (s.k. malik)...

Saudis Offer Russia OPEC Membership, Terror Immunity for Olympics

August 27, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/syria-the-saudi-connection-the-prince-with-close-ties-to-washington-at-the-heart-of-the-push-for-war-8785049.html

It was Prince Bandar’s intelligence agency that first alerted Western allies to the alleged use of sarin gas by the Syrian regime in February.

While a trip earlier this month to the Kremlin to try to cajole President Vladimir Putin into withdrawing his support for President Assad reportedly failed, Prince Bandar automatically has greater leverage in Western capitals, not least because of friendships forged during his time in Washington. His most recent travels, rarely advertised, have taken him to both London and Paris for discussions with senior officials.

As ambassador, Prince Bandar left an imprint that still has not quite faded. His voice was one of the loudest urging the United States to invade Iraq in 2003. In the 1980s, Prince Bandar became mired in the Iran-Contra scandal in Nicaragua.

Months of applying pressure on the White House and Congress over Syria have slowly born fruit. The CIA is believed to have been working with Prince Bandar directly since last year in training rebels at base in Jordan close to the Syrian border.

The Saudis are “indispensable partners on Syria” and have considerable influence on American thinking, a senior US official told The Wall Street Journal yesterday. He added: “No one wants to do anything alone”.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323423804579024452583045962.html

The Saudi ambassador, Mr. Jubeir, has long been courting members of Congress who could pressure the administration to get more involved in Syria. He found early support from Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

(snip)

Mr. Petraeus in mid-2012 won White House approval to provide intelligence and limited training to Syrian rebels at the base, including in the use of arms provided by others. Saudi and Jordanian agents began vetting the fighters to be trained, said Arab diplomats and a former U.S. military official.

Prince Bandar has largely stayed out of Washington but held meetings with U.S. officials in the region. One was in September 2012. Sens. McCain and Graham, who were in Istanbul, met him in an opulent hotel suite on the banks of the Bosporus.

Mr. McCain said he made the case to Prince Bandar that the rebels weren’t getting the kinds of weapons they needed, and the prince, in turn, described the kingdom’s plans. The senator said that in succeeding months he saw “a dramatic increase in Saudi involvement, hands-on, by Bandar.”

(snip)

That winter, the Saudis also started trying to convince Western governments that Mr. Assad had crossed what President Barack Obama a year ago called a “red line”: the use of chemical weapons. Arab diplomats say Saudi agents flew an injured Syrian to Britain, where tests showed sarin gas exposure. Prince Bandar’s spy service, which concluded in February that Mr. Assad was using chemical weapons, relayed evidence to the U.S., which reached a similar conclusion four months later. The Assad regime denies using such weapons.

After Mr. Petraeus’s November resignation over an affair, his job was handled by his deputy, Michael Morell, who privately voiced skepticism the agency could make sure any arms supplied by the U.S. wouldn’t end up with hard-line Islamists, said congressional officials.

Ultimately, the new CIA chief was John Brennan, whose closest Saudi confidant when he was White House counterterrorism adviser was also focused on the risk of inadvertently strengthening al Qaeda. Since moving to the CIA, Mr. Brennan has been in periodic contact by phone with Prince Bandar, officials said.

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/06/isis-saudi-arabia-iraq-syria-bandar/373181/

“Thank God for the Saudis and Prince Bandar,” John McCain told CNN’s Candy Crowley in January 2014. “Thank God for the Saudis and Prince Bandar, and for our Qatari friends,” the senator said once again a month later, at the Munich Security Conference.

McCain was praising Prince Bandar bin Sultan, then the head of Saudi Arabia’s intelligence services and a former ambassador to the United States, for supporting forces fighting Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria. McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham had previously met with Bandar to encourage the Saudis to arm Syrian rebel forces.

I believe that eventually your suggestion may become reality as if mankind is to continue on its evolutionary path (i)slam is nothing but a hindrance,ill conceived and a poor excuse for a religion. Just about the same as it was with the Nazis as the only way to get rid of them was to kill them. Anything else unfortunately would not have worked, sorry to say.

"It showed me that the mosques and organizations established by Saudis in this country were, and likely still are, used to launder terrorist financing and serve as logistical support for terrorists. "

Yes, many of us Freepers have been screeching this since 9/11 and even louder from 2008 to the present, actually screeching until we are beyond hoarse.

The Saudis money has infiltrated all of our institutions of learning and business. The political class has been traduced by the Saudis.

Bush doing the Arabian junior brother hand hold.

Obama doing the ring kiss curtsey:

 photo bowing20to20Saudi20King.jpg

BUT one thing the Saudis did not expect, and that is the action of The People in taking back our government, institutions and businesses from them. As a matter of fact, the Saudis are betting that we cannot do so. Money is streaming in from the Saudis, The Chinese and Mexico to the Clinton Campaign, with the intention of defeating Trump.

The People are awakening and they will act to take America back from Saudi conquest, and to beat back ISIS , whom the Saudis also fund.

If you are a Muslim living in America , get ready to dump Sharia law, or leave America. We are not going to be fooling around any longer.Sharia Law will usurp the Constitution, and it will not be allowed to raise its filthy head in the USA.Nor will mosques be allowed to support jihad in any way, we will deport any Muslim clergy doing so and close down such mosques, without fail.

TrumPense for president!

Nor after either. Look at how much power they gained.

AQ declared war on US on 911. Our govt declared war on US on 912.

It's been speculated it was placed by routine maintenance crews starting after the first failed attempt.

I saw it live, molten slag pouring out the top floors just before the collapse.

Building 7??? Give me a break, P Jennings even said it was being "pulled" just before it was.

Personally I don’t think they placed explosives on both floors. I think they sent a big enough charge up the middle of both buildings from the basements. One-two man job. Took out the middle support columns.

Obviously, somebody is letting you think too much, or not enough. With that logic it should have started the collapse at the basement where the damage was greatest.

Let me guess, you are from Supply or Personnel.

Something happened besides the planes. You know it. I know it. How it happened is whats up in the air. The re-bar reinforced concrete was turned into dust. So, you tell me.

Always wondered how it was we got stuck with McCain in 2008 when nobody wanted him. I guess it's the same reason as the existence of the Clinton Foundation.

WOW, I was reading the comments and SHAZAMMMMM I was transported to Alex Jones InfoWars site. There were a bunch of crazies talking about where the explosives were placed, steel being sold to hide evidence, molten slag, that it couldn’t have been JUST the planes, etc.

I don’t know if they got around to blaming the JEWS or offloading all the passengers mid flight (Millennium ) yet, because I stopped reading at that point. I went back to check and there were no sarc tags.

WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was just bizarre! How Bizarre.

Brother Pele’s in the back, sweet Seena’s in the front
Cruising down the freeway in the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red-blue lights flash us from behind
Loud voice, “All move, please step out onto the line”

Pele breathes words of comfort
Seena just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
“Is that a Chevy 69?”

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Destination unknown, as we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the pack
Elephants and acrobats, lions, next monkey
Pele speaks righteous, sister Seena says “Funky”

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Ooh baby
(Ooh baby)
It’s making me crazy
(It’s making me crazy)

Every time I look around
(Look around)
Every time I look around
(Every time I look around)
Every time I look around, it’s in my face

Ringmaster steps up, says, “The elephants left town”
People jump and jive and the clowns then stuck around
T.V. news and cameras, there’s choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters, ask where, for, and why

Pele yells, “We’re outta here, “ Seena says, “Right on”
Make your moves and starting grooves before they knew we were gone
Jumped into the Chevy, headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Ooh baby
(Ooh baby)
It’s making me crazy
(It’s making me crazy)

Every time I look around
(Look around)
Every time I look around
(Every time I look around)
Every time I look around, it’s in my face
It’s in my face

Bush did many foolish things, but the worst w as jumping into the briar patch in Iraq and Afghanistan while leaving our enemies in Riyadh and Islamabad to sleep securely in their beds, where they remain to this day.

No you don't know it, and what's worse you know that. Go peddle your Rosie crapola somewhere else.

I suppose the fact that a virtually fully fueled 767, 24,000+ (24,140) gallons because all four were fueled for cross country flights, hitting the Pentagon was all staged as well. Each of the towers collapsed at the point directly above the impact. By your THEORY, it would have had to started at the basement level, where the loads and stresses were the greatest.

All of that fuel immediately dispersed over the area of impact and through the building had no effect whatsoever in your hair brained suppositions of pseudo-logic. Consider this;

Fuel Flash Point Autoignition

Gasoline (petrol) −43 °C (−45 °F) 280 °C (536 °F)

Diesel (2-D) >52 °C (126 °F) 256 °C (493 °F)

Jet fuel (A/A-1) >38 °C (100 °F) 210 °C (410 °F)

Kerosene >38–72 °C (100–162 °F) 220 °C (428 °F)

at 24,140 gallons of Jet A-1 fuel, a kerosene base, it would take my F350 7.3 Dually Crew Cab Lariat 710 fillups to attain that same volume of dielsel with an effective range of 362,100 miles. That is 63,000 more miles than I have in over 16 years traveling all over the country and especially around the southeast.

All of that dissipated in a matter of a split second and burning uncontrollably wherever it could seep into the superstructure, walls and HVAC systems.

I would also wager you don't know that concrete never cures totally and just take a look at how degraded the reinforced concrete becomes over time subjected to nothing more than ambient natural elements nevermind 24,000 gallons of Jet A-1.

Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati had to be destroyed because the reinforced concrete structure was no longer safe because it was falling apart. I was privy to its construction as I knew the Construction Manager for the prime contractor, Huber, Hunt & Nichols, building it. Many of our bridges are in the same condition because the "art" of structural concrete is nothing more than that and all art is subject to the deterioration by the natural elements, in controlled environments or not.
