9/11: A MEMORIAL TO FBI FAILURE
Powerline ^ | 11 Sep 2023 | Lloyd Billingsley

Posted on 09/11/2023 1:27:04 PM PDT by Rummyfan

It’s not the 10 or 20-year marker but that is no reason miss the lesson of September 11, 2001 most relevant in 2023 moving forward: the failure of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As the people might recall, the bureau also slipped up on the prequel.

In 1993, the FBI failed to prevent Islamic terrorists from bombing the World Trade Center, which claimed six victims. The lessons went unlearned. For all its money, power and resources, the FBI failed to prevent terrorists from hijacking airliners and crashing them into the Pentagon and World Trade Center.

“September 11, 2001, was a day of unprecedented shock and suffering in the history of the United States,” proclaimed The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States. “The nation was unprepared,” notes the 2004 report, including an agency that should have been the best prepared, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“The domestic agencies never mobilized in response to the threat,” the commission concluded. “They didn’t have a plan,” and “the public was not warned.” The FBI Inspector General contributed to the report, so FBI incompetence was doubtless worse than indicated. No word about any FBI bosses losing their jobs over the failure, which continued apace.

It wasn’t a failure.
It was a collaboration.

If one takes into account for the post 911 loss of Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms & liberties, combined with the increased powers granted to the FBI-DOJ-DHS, the FBI did not “fail”...

IMHO, the FBI perfectly executed a long-range strategy to become a solid Gestapo-like organization with unlimited powers to kill or imprison...

Its limited taste for, and initial use of, these powers began in the 1990s...
The American serfs paid no heed during the 1960s through 1990s and today they are content to be good serfs who:
Bow Down... Obey... Snitch...

It wasn’t all FBI failure. What rarely gets mentioned is that the Muhammadan maggots just got lucky. The buildings were designed to withstand two impacts from airliners, but those planes were 1960s Boeing 727s. No one knew whether two 757s would bring them down.

They just got lucky.

What brought the buildings down was that the planes were nearly full of fuel. A rule of thumb is that steel will lose 1/2 of its strength at 1000*F. Nothing is going to have a safety factor that will make up for that.

NOPE, the pile would not have burned for months from “jet fuel”... nor cut all the supports as you watch the “squibs” go down floor by floor. Good thing we had a Bushie in charge of Twin Tower security... jus’ sayin’.... ymmv

Janet Reno and the whole crooked crew were incompetent,I remember reading terrific reporting about the lead up to all this exposing some causes,I wish I could remember the woman reporters name!
She exposed it was justice departments policy that FBI could not share investigative information with CIA,FBI is domestic,CIA international,even though they were sitting right next to each other!
Information on Arabic men taking flying lessons at flight schools but only wanted to learn how to fly,but not land,instructors brought that info to Justice dept and Janet Reno proclaimed,you want me to be accused of being predjudiced against Arabic people wanting flight lessons!
Nothing was done,they turned out to be the hijackers.
I believe the woman reporters first name was Heather cant for the life of me remember last name she did OUTSTANDING coverage of all the governmental screwups because of political correctness.

Reno was as incompetent as they come, her actions caused loss of lives at every turn, shameful, but that's what you get when you put incompetent people in important roles.
