Zacarias Moussaoui: What We Don’t Know Might Hurt Us
Wilshire’s role in the deliberate withholding of information from the FBI about Pentagon hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi makes his presence in the Moussaoui case alarming. This case was a significant stimulus for the reform of the US intelligence community. Without knowing what actually happened and why, we have no way of judging whether those reforms were warranted and appropriate. Perhaps it would have been better to fire those who performed badly, instead of promoting them.
The NSA and 9/11: Letting the Hijackers Go
The NSA failed to pass on information about the hijackers, perhaps deliberately to aid CIA machinations, and has not even stated publicly whether and how it investigated this failure, let alone what the conclusions of such inquiry might be. Nevertheless, with remarkable speed it used its failure as a justification for massive new powers. This is just one of the legacies of 9/11.
The US-Al Qaeda Alliance: Bosnia, Kosovo and Now Libya
Twice in the last two decades, significant cuts in US and western military spending were foreseen: first after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and then in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. But both times military spending soon increased, and among the factors contributing to the increase were America’s interventions in new areas: the Balkans in the 1990s, and Libya today. Hidden from public view in both cases was the extent to which al-Qaeda was a covert US ally in both interventions, rather than its foe.
Saudi States of America: BAE, Iran-Contra, 9/11 and Beyond
Money makes the world go ‘round. Whose money spins your planet? In recent decades, Saudi Arabia emerged as a skillful puppeteer, pulling the strings of its expanding influence. Dare to see the big picture, out of the context of pseudo-political loyalties, free of the intoxicating opiate of the mainstream media. Look behind the mask of false pretenses to see the awful truth: riches seeking ever more money, celebrity looking for more notoriety, propaganda masquerading ...
Questions and Answers with Kevin Fenton
Kevin Fenton is the author of the new book, Disconnecting The Dots: How 9/11 Was Allowed To Happen. In this exclusive interview for 9/11 Truth News, Fenton talks about his work researching 9/11 and his thoughts on achieving accountability for the crimes of that day.
The Kingdom and the Towers
Was there a foreign government behind the 9/11 attacks? A decade later, Americans still haven’t been given the whole story, while a key 28-page section of Congress’s Joint Inquiry report remains censored. Gathering years of leaks and leads, in an adaptation from their new book, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan examine the connections between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers (15 of whom were Saudi), the Bush White House’s decision to ignore or bury evidence, and the frustration of lead investigators—including 9/11-commission staffers, counterterrorism officials, and senators on both sides of the aisle.
Lawsuit To Proceed Over WTC Tower Collapse
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey can be sued for negligence over the collapse of a World Trade Center building in the September 11 attacks in 2001, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday. The agency is one of the most prominent issuers in the $2.9 trillion municipal market. Its finances have been strained by the costly rebuilding of the World Trade Center complex. The lawsuit centers on 7 World Trade Center, which ...
Why the Planes Were Not Intercepted on 9/11
Despite being given plenty of notice about the four planes hijacked on 9/11, FAA management did not request military assistance to ensure the planes were intercepted before they crashed. The 9/11 Commission attributes this to a string of gross failures in communication between the FAA and the military on 9/11. However, the report places no blame on any of the people who were involved and doesn’t even mention the one person who was most important to this chain of communications.
The Many False Hijackings of 9/11
Up to 29 planes were reported as being hijacked on 9/11. Who or what caused these false alarms? What effect did they have on the ability of the military and other US government agencies to respond to the actual attacks and to then assess how those attacks had been able to succeed? These questions have not yet been adequately addressed and need to be investigated thoroughly.
US Reveals Evidence Against Alleged 9/11 Plotters
US prosecutors compiled lots of evidence against the five men accused of having organized the September 11 attacks on the United States, but not until this week have details been fully revealed. The indictment charging self-professed mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others was unsealed when US Attorney General Eric Holder referred the case to the Defense Department for military trials instead of trials at a US federal court in New York. Holder said Sheikh Mohammed, ...
