Yes, but the Saudis are de facto allies of Israel and buttbois to the Empire and the petrodollar, so their involvement in 9/11 is swept under the rug.

Iraq had jack-all to do with 9/11, but Iraq was the Enemy du Jour in 2003, so Iraq was blamed.

Agfhanistan and Al Qaeda were blamed - Iraq was yellowcake and WMD. :)

Dick Cheney also assured us that Iraq was involved in 9/11, even though the Baath government was secular and imprisoned militant Islamicists when they caught them.

Remember this psycho Bush cracking jokes on the millions of people he killed in Iraq over a false pretext of "WMD"?

He liked to rub our faces in it sometimes.

True, but Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld et al. couldn't construct an effective narrative to make the connection in the public consciousness - that's when they pivoted to faked intelligence about WMD.

Robert Kagan (Victoria Nuland's husband) co-founded the neoconservative think tank in 1997 which was known as the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) with fellow Neocon William Kristol (Irving's son), Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Elliot Abrams, all of whom were destined for key positions in the Bush administration - with the exception of Kristol. PNAC became the outfit which wrote the faux-scholarly policy papers, and provided much of the intellectual energy, undergirding not only the unhinged Iraq invasion, but the broader neo-imperial strategy that’s brutally transformed the world and killed maybe millions.

***

Through the work of the PNAC, from 1998, Kagan was an early and strong advocate of military action in Syria, Iran, Afghanistan as well as to "remove Mr. Hussein and his regime from power." After the 1998 bombing of Iraq was announced Kagan said "bombing Iraq isn't enough" and called on Clinton to send ground troops to Iraq. In January 2002, Kagan and Kristol falsely claimed in a Weekly Standard article that Saddam Hussein was supporting the "existence of a terrorist training camp in Iraq, complete with a Boeing 707 for practicing hijackings, and filled with non-Iraqi radical Muslims". Kagan and Kristol further alleged that the September 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence official several months before the attacks. The allegations were later shown to be false.

***

What makes the Israeli connection indisputable was that PNAC was preceded a year earlier by a policy paper prepared for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, entitled, “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.” Its authors were a study group led by Perle which included Feith, David Wurmser and his Israeli wife Meyrav Wurmser and called for the removal of Saddam Hussein.

I dunno, they could fake WMD fairy tales but they couldn't fake 9/11 involvement?

ideology that produced think tanks like PNAC has always wanted to destroy Middle East post-colonial nations, neuter by chaos or control the area, so to have hands on the management of its resources and secure a stronghold in this strategic geographic hub.

At the time in September 2001, there were many discussions about some aspects of the crashes that seemed weird, specially the plane on the Pentagon. But anyway, what was obvious is that the event was indeed an excellent excuse for USA to start the implementation of the killing frenzy across Middle East resources.

Just to give an idea of how popular this point was (terrorism as an excuse for an existing plan), just in France, in a very popular satyric muppet show (similar Spitting Image, "Les guignols de l'info", with an iconic Sylvestre character (Stallone-Rambo), figure of American imperialism in the show, this broadcast, where asked by the journalist why CIA failed, Sylvestre gets angry telling CIA is the best secret service in the world, and for instance, they formed ... Ben Laden, and that, whatever, this destruction of towers in New York gives know USA the right to do whatever they want: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Bkd-SbCG8pY

this broadcast was hugely popular in France, and there were several about the Amerian killing spree with Sylvestre, a small compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hx0RNSPzMw and with Ben Laden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mZzuwdZHV8

in few years a theory that formed, and a main proponent is a guy called Thierry Meyssan, is that the bombing of 11 September 2001 was a false flag constructed by a faction of deep state, some kind of internal coup inside conflicting American power circles, in order to provide a justification for the projects of total reshape of Western Asia.

these chunk of an interview of former general Wesley Clark in 2007 also became viral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Knt3rKTqCk

the theory of a false flag in order to enforce drastic actions appears also in the case of the Hamas massacre in Southern Israel, that was the excuse for starting the insane almost online genocide in Gaza.

The foreknowledge of the October Hamas operation has now gone mainstream Ha aretz, yesterday I think though it was widely reported not long after the event along with the fact most of the Isreali victims were Hanibal directive victims of the IDF.

Every war needs a false flag always or a scapegoat to blame for supposedly starting it.

The fact that the story of Omar Al-Bayoumi is only now coming out is such a travesty. Adam Fitzgerald and I talked about it for a bit: https://substack.com/@libertarianoverwatch/note/p-206650911?r=48h772

Great journalism Kit!

I believe 9/11 was an inside job. A way to point the finger at Arabs. Too obvious.

Guest's avatar

“…given the overwhelming abundance of evidence pointing ineluctably to the CIA at the very least actively facilitating the 9/11 attacks, if not carrying them out, using the Saudis as scapegoats.”

~~~

Kit has it correct. And I’m firmly in the camp of Saudis as scapegoats. Clearly 9/11 was a setup…an insider job involving a triumvirate of intelligence agencies and other deep state actors.

stuvian's avatar

It is interesting that Steinger is outed while intelligence operatives remain anonymous. Now that the US has failed to protect the Saudi Royals, you wonder how long before the complicity of lies unravels. The petrodollar may go down with the official narrative.

Thank you for this piece, translated in French here : https://zanzibar.substack.com/p/a-propos-du-11-septembre-ce-que-vous

It all leads back to America oil industry that was behind everything. It is why the CIA is always involved in South America, are anywhere oil interests are at stake.

How many decades will it take for the masses to grasp that this thing that walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck....is a duck? Especially when the imperial media makes sure at this time every year to gather everyone around and cry crocodile tears while telling each other "This is not a duck"?

Thanks for your great work on this, and your earlier piece on it:

But Washington covers it all up . Washington has become the enemy upon its people as they stoke the fear of the foreigner . A whiff of vengeance coming in the Midterms?

There has been enough evidence found to implicate the Saudi's, but we all know nothing will ever happen. The most logical theory, is the George W., desperate to be a better president than his father, set this in motion before he was elected. Or at least gave it tacit approval, if he even knew about it.

Barring that, follow the money. Who in the U.S. stood to gain the most from such a horrible terrorist act?

𝓙𝓪𝓼𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓦𝓸𝓵𝓯𝓮 (𝓜)'s avatar

It was planned so the US had an excuse to invade Iraq. Saddam was going to nationalise Iraq's oil fields and kick out the US oil corporations.

Terrance Ó Domhnaill's avatar

I had heard that also. I was in Afghanistan when I first learned that Saddam Hussein was making deals with the French and the Russians, at the exclusion of the Americans. I heard it on Al Jazeera in 2002, while I was there in country. One of the few times we got a good satellite signal from Qatar.

But, even with that, there were other back door deals going on, that set this up long before that. And like the Kennedy assassination investigation records, any evidence that would point to certain high level people being involved with this, will never see the light of day.

𝓙𝓪𝓼𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓦𝓸𝓵𝓯𝓮 (𝓜)'s avatar

Yep. As always the criminals who planned it and hired the people to carry it out will get away with it.

Greg's avatar

You are giving far too much credit to George W. Bush - an ignoramus who famously asked his father “What’s a Neocon?” AFTER he’d already taken office. George HW Bush responded: “The short answer is Israel”.

Terrance Ó Domhnaill's avatar

Very true. He comes in second to Trump when it comes to stupid and ignorant. It's hard to say, as they're so close in the ranking.

Is Steinger, the consulate employee who granted the visa, Jewish?

Richard's avatar

Are you saying the CIA enabled 9/11? That could only mean the CIA is responsible for 9/11. Is that what you are saying?

Who is the team behind 9/11?

Video: https://rumble.com/v6u8p8z-who-is-the-team-behind-911.html

A whole industry has been created - A whole "truth" movement, to have people NOT look at the evidence presented TO COURT in 2007, all whilst they are gaslighting good intentioned truth seekers with stories of remote-controlled planes or drones, CGI TV video fakery, bombs, and thermite for a controlled demolition or even buried or mini nukes.

Making sure people NEVER look at the anomalies with the 9/11 orphans, buildings 3, 4, 5, 6 and the Bankers Trust building, because if people do, they will immediately see the problems with the 9/11 truther narratives that are being SOLD to them.

Good intentioned truth seekers are FUNDING the greater cover-up of the truth of what happened on 9/11.

Have a listen and read the 2007 court filings you’re NOT supposed to know about..
