WOAH 🚨
Former Director of the CIA John Brennan “issued the Visas to 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers”
AGAIN: 15 out of the 19 Visas issued to the 9/11 hijackers were issued by the man who would become Director of the CIA
- John Brennan was the CIA daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton
- In 1996, he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
- John Brennan issued passports (visas -ed) to 9/11 hijackers
- John Brennan becomes Director of the CIA
What are the odds???
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
Source?
The book is cited in the video: “Visas for Terrorists”
All Brennan had to do was make a call to the Consular General’s office to have the visas issued. Would have been quite easy.
“Let people decide” is fine. Your link has no sources listed BTW.
I would argue that the Bill Clintoon State Department was primarily to blame for issuing the VISA’s In Jeddah (primarily) and Riyadh in 2000.
Besides as a Libertarian I would think you would be advocating for an “open border” (no VISAs needed) policy anyway.
Could be just that and lets not forget incompetence is rewarded in government
But it’s still weird/interesting
Even more so when Wiki and the media lie or wish to cover it up....
I’m not for open borders and never have been
Countries determine who come and go
A useful tool not a fool who deserves the death penality.
It was wild - I didn’t let them know I spoke their language until the last few weeks before leaving. The response was priceless.
The name this thread is looking for is “Shayna Steinger” or “Shayna Steinger Singh”...the State Dept. official that approved the 911 hijackers’ VISA’s. I would need additional supporting links to indicate that State Dept. officials around the year 2000 consulted with the CIA (Brennan) before issuing VISA’s:

You need to think out of the box for this one
What are the odds he’s a democrat?
Uh oh, here we go! ;-)
You are more level-headed than that RandPF!
It’s not a flat out lie. At worst you’d say “half true”
If you try and search the web on this you’ll be using wiki/snopes etc. as sources and you’re not in good company there.
Why dont you get the book mentioned if it’s available to you and not me?
My cousin was a foreign service officer and was under Brennan in the late ‘90s in S.A. I asked him how he was, and he said, “just another functionary and bureaucrat.”
You are getting closer to “CIA connections” (the book available to all here):

(Please tell me that you are not going down the THC-fueled paranoia/conspiracy minded Libertarian “911 was an inside job” road!!)(Jet fuel fires do soften steel beam hangars)(Those FR threads have been done ad nauseam!).
So...all those loonies who say that 9-11 was an inside job are correct!
Who is surprised? Anyone?
Chapter 1 of the 911 Commission Staff Statements
On page two of this document is the sub-section titled Visas:
"Visas
The 19 hijackers applied for 23 visas and obtained 22. Five other conspirators were denied U.S. visas. Two more obtained visas but did not participate in the attack for various reasons.
They began attempting to acquire U.S. visas in April 1999, two years and five months before the attack. Consular officers were unaware of the potential significance of an indicator of potential extremism present in some al Qaeda passports, had no information about fraudulent travel stamps that are associated with al Qaeda, and were not trained in terrorist travel tactics generally.
Two Yemenis were denied visas in Yemen for reasons of U.S. immigration law unrelated to terrorism. At the same time, two Saudi hijackers obtained visas in Saudi Arabia. When these two Saudis later showed up in Afghanistan, they were selected for the mission in part because they already had U.S. visas. Later, most of the operatives selected were Saudis, who had little difficulty obtaining visas.
In early 2000, four conspirators sought U.S. visas to learn how to become pilots in the plot. An Egyptian and a Lebanese obtained visas easily in Berlin, because they had established ties to Germany and so did not look like intending immigrants. Both presented new passports. A Yemeni who wanted to be a pilot was repeatedly turned down for a visa because he did not have strong ties to Germany, failed to complete the necessary paperwork, and looked like an intending immigrant.
Thirteen of the hijackers presented passports less than three weeks old when they applied for their visas, but the new passports caused no heightened scrutiny of their visa applications.
Two hijackers lied on their visa applications in detectable ways, but were not further questioned about those lies.
Two hijackers were interviewed for reasons unrelated to terrorism. Most simply had their applications approved and their passports stamped with a U.S. visa. Consular officers were not trained to detect terrorists in a visa interview. Terrorism concerns were handled through the watchlist, and all the conspirators’ names were checked against the terrorist watchlist without producing a match.
One Saudi, one Moroccan, and one Pakistani were each denied visas for reasons unrelated to terrorism. The last conspirator, the Pakistani, was denied on August 27, 2001, in the United Arab Emirates.
The mastermind of the operation, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, used a travel facilitator to acquire a visa on July 23, 2001, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using an alias."
The one fact left out is that John Brennan was a communist party member and converted to Islam.
According to Wikipedia, he wasn’t Ambassador. “In 1996, he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, when the Khobar Towers bombing killed 19 U.S. servicemen.” Another coincidence?
