FBI AND CIA COVERING FOR PAST NEGLIGENCE--OR WORSE

Daily the FBI, CIA and Justice Department have been warning about imminent terrorist attacks. But nothing on any scale happens, day after day. Pretty soon, the government is going to look like they are crying wolf and the public will go back to sleep. Worse for the government’s other agenda in the "war," the US might lose interest in supporting this continued meddling in other nations if more terror doesn’t happen.

What is really suspicious is that evidence keeps mounting that the FBI and CIA had some prior knowledge of an imminent terrorist attack before Sept. 11, and suppressed the information. Here’s the evidence so far:

(I am indebted to the research of Dr. Stan Montieth for many of these findings. Hear his radio broadcasts at www.radioliberty.com or order his September Radio Liberty Report and other fine materials at 1-800-544-8927.)

Numerous sources in Jerusalem and the UK published reports from Israel that the Mossad had sent a major warning to the CIA a week prior to the 9/11 terror attack that "large-scale terrorist attacks on highly visible targets on the American mainland were imminent." The CIA claims they get these all the time and didn’t take it seriously. Now the CIA is issuing daily warnings and they expect us to take them seriously!

According to the LA Times, the FBI was tracking at least two of the hijackers prior to the event and failed to notify airlines. If the names of Khalid Al-Midhar and Nawaq Alhamzi had been passed to the airlines, they would not have been able to buy tickets on that fateful day.

The New York Times reported the findings of Ernest Welteke (German Bundesbank) that "There have been fundamental movements in these markets (airline stocks) and the oil price rise just ahead of the attacks is otherwise inexplicable." The US government claims to be investigating who placed these massive short positions, but have not reported any findings. Experts say it would take less than 1 hour to track these transactions down. Why the silence?

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Mayor Brown was called eight hours before the attack and warned that "Americans should be cautious in their travel." (I consider this a general warning only since none of the planes involved were on the West Coast). Author Salman Rushdie (who has written anti-Islamic works) was warned by the FAA on Sept. 3 not to fly to Canada and the US, according to the London Times.

The Defense Language Institute in Monterey was put on alert prior to the attacks, as well as some overseas embassies and military bases. This is not definitive evidence, as there are other reasons for going on alert, but one has to question why the public was not warned.

I reported previously on Project Bojinka--the code name of a terrorist plot uncovered in the Philippines (where there are numerous Islamic terrorist activities). The CIA failed to surveil any fight schools in anticipation of this threat.

According to wire services, FBI agents in Minneapolis, MN arrested Zacarias Moussaoui, an Algerian with French citizenship, on immigration charges. He was arrested after a tip from a local flight school that reported that the suspect wanted to be trained in flying a large jet aircraft, but said that he did not want to take the time to learn how to take off or land. The FBI knew he was a terrorist on French watch lists, but refused to pursue the case or issue search warrants on orders from higher authority, according to Phil Brennan of NewsMax.com (Oct 8, 2001) and David Schippers (see below).

David Schippers was the former Democratic Chicago lawyer brought in by the Republicans to impeach Clinton. He wrote the book Sellout afterwards, which documented his experience and detailed how the Republican leadership sabotaged the impeachment to help get Clinton off. He was particularly incensed that they refused to let him present the more damaging evidence about Clinton’s treasonous collusion with China. The following are excerpts from his interview with Alex Jones of Infowars.com. Alex Jones (AJ) begins by asking Schippers (DS) how his involvement in these charges of government prior knowledge of terrorism began. He explains that it surfaced as he received information about the various "john doe" accomplices to Timothy McVeigh who were of Middle Eastern origin and who appeared to have past links to Iraq and Osama bin Laden.

There is much more to this interview than I am able to cover. It is a blockbuster. There are some exaggerations and mistaken conclusions, but it is must reading. For the full text go to FreeRepublic.com The exact URL is (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/544850/posts).
