Evidence for the proposition that the Israeli deep state was involved in the 9-11 event.

This article presents evidence that the Israeli deep state was a prime mover in the events of 9-11. Note that it does not imply that other groups (i.e. the US deep state and maybe others like the Saudi Arabian deep state) were not involved in both the commission and cover up of the September 11 attacks.

The 9-11 event advanced the Neocon PNAC agenda, with its explicitly stated need for "...a catastrophic and catalysing event - like a new Pearl Harbor" in order to mobilise US public opinion for already planned wars, the effects of which would be to destroy Israel's enemies.

Official narrative

The 2015 Facebook post from Stephen Sizer.

The idea that Israelis might have been involved in perpetrating or covering up the 9-11 event is "anti-semitic" in itself, and as such is not to be publicly expressed without immediate condemnation as such. In 2015 the Rev. Dr. Stephen Sizer linked to this page from his Facebook wall, and asked "Is this anti-Semitic? If so, no doubt I’ll be asked to remove it. It raises so many questions." In response the Church of England banned him from social media.

In 2018 the Daily Mail article on Kees van der Pijl.

In 2018, after Emeritus Professor Kees van der Pijl tweeted support for this page, the University of Sussex, where he headed the Department of International Relations for 12 years, announced that it would investigate him. This was picked up by the UK Independent and the Daily Mail, although discussion centred on whether or not he should be subject to disciplinary action rather whether or not his allegations were correct.

Control of World Trade Center Complex

One of the first operational steps in preparation for the 9/11 attacks would have been to secure control of the World Trade Centre Complex itself. This is crucial because without complete control, the setting of explosives to bring down the towers would be next to impossible without serious risk of discovery.

Four key Zionist Network assets

Larry Silverstein, who made billions of dollars from the attacks

Frank Lowy

Ronald Lauder

Lewis Eisenberg

• Larry Silverstein - is a Jewish American businessman from New York. Silverstein obtained a 99 year lease on the entire world trade center complex on 24 July, 2001. The towers were in fact close to worthless, being filled with asbestos, yet Silverstein “felt a compelling urge to own them” and took out specific insurance against acts of "terrorism". Silverstein had breakfast in "Windows on the World" restaurant (located in North Tower 107^th Floor) every morning. but broke this routine on the morning of 11 September 2001. Silverstein’s two children, who also worked in the WTC, were also absent from work that day. Larry Silverstein was paid $4.55 billion in insurance money as a result of the destruction of the WTC complex. He also sued the airlines and airport security, seeking $12.3 billion in damages, though his ultimate payout after a 13 years legal struggle was just $95.2 million. Silverstein was a personal friend of media-magnate Rupert Murdoch and former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon. Haaretz reported that he was such good friends with Benjamin Netanyahu that he spoke with him on the phone every Sunday.

Larry Silverstein hid his role in 9/11?

• Frank Lowy, a Czechoslovakia born Jew, was the owner of Westfield America, one of the biggest shopping mall conglomerates in the world. Lowy leased the shopping concourse area called the Mall at the World Trade Center, made up of approximately 427,000 square feet of retail floor space. Frank Lowy was a member of the Golani Brigade, and fought in the Israeli war of independence. Before this he was a member of Hagganah. He spends three months of the year at his home in Israel and has been described by the Sydney Morning Herald as "a self-made man with a strong interest in the Holocaust and Israeli politics." He funded and launched the Israeli Institute for National Strategy and Policy, which will "operate within the framework of Tel Aviv University" in Israel. He is also close friends with many top Israeli officials such as Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Bibi Netanyahu, and Ehud Barak. He was implicated in an Israeli Bank Scandal with Olmert. Frank Lowy was not at the WTC on 9/11.

• Lewis Eisenberg - Eisenberg was the head of the Port Authority of New York and authorized the lease transfer to Silverstein and Lowy. Eisenberg was a large contributor to the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign, as well as a partner in Goldman Sachs. Eisenberg has been both a member of the Planning Board of the United Jewish Appeal/United Jewish Federation pro-Israeli government pressure group in the U.S.

• Ronald Lauder - Billionaire Estée Lauder Cosmetics magnate. He was the chairman of NY Governor George Pataki's commission on privatization. He is the key individual who lobbied for the privatization of the WTC — but he was also instrumental in the successful privatisation of the former Stewart Air Force Base. Oddly, the flight paths of flight 175 and flight 11 converged directly over this airport. Map

Lauder was active^[When?] in the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations , Jewish National Fund, World Jewish Congress, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Anti-Defamation League and Jewish Theological Seminary. He was elected president of the World Jewish Congress on 10 June, 2007. He founded a school for the Mossad in Herzliya, Israel called the Lauder School of Government Diplomacy and Strategy. He is arguably the key Sayan in the preparation of 9/11.

World Trade Center Security

Jules Kroll, co-owner of Kroll Inc. in 1993

The second crucial aspect of control was that of security for the WTC complex. This was required to provide unquestioned access to strategic areas of the buildings for the purposes of rigging explosives in the period prior to the attacks. After the 1993 WTC bombing, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey gave control of security at the WTC to Kroll Inc. in a $2.5 million upgrade contract. The owners of Kroll at the time were Jules Kroll and his son Jeremy. The managing director of Kroll at the time was Jerome M. Hauer, who ran Mayor Rudy Guiliani's office of emergency management (OEM) from 1996 to 2000. He is the key individual that pushed for this office to be placed in Silverstein's WTC Building 7.

Jerome Hauer, A national security advisor with the Department of Health and Human Services & MD of Kroll Associates on 9/11. He advised the White House staff to take Cipro a week before the Amerithrax attacks.

Who Killed John O'Neil?

John O'Neill, killed on 9-11, his first day at work.

Former special agent FBI, John O'Neill, who had previously been tasked with investigating Bin Laden, was hired as head of security at the WTC complex by Jerome Hauer. O'Neil was killed on his first day of work - 9/11. O'Neil had quit his job at the FBI after his investigation into the U.S.S. Cole attack in Yemen had been obstructed & sabotaged by the U.S Ambassador to Yemen, Zionist Barbara Bodine. The ship was hit by an Israeli cruise missile to sway public opinion against the Arabs (Al Qaeda), as well as to demonize the Democrats who were not taking threats of "terrorism" seriously. The upshot was that a compliant George Bush Jr. was propelled into office in time for 9/11.

Airport Security

Full article: ICTS International

The airport security company was founded by Israeli spooks and has connections to other suspicious acts of "terrorism"

The third crucial aspect of control to be established was that of security at all of the airports from which the hijacking flights would originate. Passenger screening needed to be handled by controlled operatives so as to allow certain people and items (i.e. weapons) onto the planes.

The company that ran airport security at all three airports where the alleged hijackings originated was Huntsleigh USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of ICTS International and owned by Ezra Harel and Menachem Atzmon - both Israeli Jews. The company was run by "experts" in the security and intelligence field - Israeli intelligence that is. Most employees were ex-Shin Bet. It is not credible that this company, which ran security at both Boston Logan and Newark airports, was so slipshod as to allow 19 Arabs to board 4 different planes with box-cutters, mace, and even a gun.

Menachem Atzmon, former Likud treasurer in the 1980s, together with Ehud Olmert and other Likudniks was involved in an Israeli political scandal. He was convicted of fraud, falsifying documents, and breaching Party Funding Law.

Richard Reid, the "Shoe-bomber".

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the "Underwear Bomber", who reportedly boarded the plane without a passport.

ICTS was also in charge of the airport security which allowed the "shoe bomber", Richard Reid boarded a plane with, allegedly, a shoe bomb. Another point indicating ICTS's complicity is that a few hours before the Patriot Act was voted onto the statute book, it was edited to make foreign companies in charge of security on 9/11 immune to lawsuits. This effectively prevents American courts from demanding that ICTS provide testimony or hand over surveillance videos from the airports, after multiple advisories that it would "damage the reputations of US geopolitical partners", even though congress and relatives of families voiced concerns against the Patriot act.

On December 25, 2009, ICTS let Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (the "Underwear Bomber) on a plane under suspicious circumstances . Abdulmutallab, who later attempted to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his underwear, boarded the US bound plane from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Kurt Haskell, an attorney from Michigan who also boarded the same flight saw Abdulmutallab and another "sharply dressed" Indian looking man who helped Abdulmutallab board the flight. Haskell claims that Abdulmutallab boarded the flight without a passport.

Prior Knowledge

Gomel Chesed Cemetery Incident

Gomel Chesed Cemetary

In October 2000, approximately 11 months before 9/11, a retired Israeli Defense Forces(IDF) officer that went into hiding even though he was a veteran of the Yom Kippur War(1973), was collecting English Ivy Cuttings at the Gomel Chesed Cemetery located at McClellan and 245 Mount Olive Avenue, which is near the city lines of Elizabeth and Newark, New Jersey. The Gomel Chesed Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery.

The man overheard a conversation spoken in Hebrew, which drew his attention. He hid behind an 8-foot tall retaining wall and listened in to their conversation as they stood below. Shortly after a Lincoln town car approached the two people and the man in the backseat got out to greet them. After normal niceties were exchanged the third man said:

“The Americans will learn what it is to live with terrorists after the planes hit the twins in September.”

One of the men that had been leaning against the retaining wall expressed concerns that the upcoming presidential election (November 2000) might impact the plans. The man that arrived in the Town Car quelled the doubts by saying:

“Don’t worry, we have people in high places and no matter who gets elected, they will take care of everything.”

The observer who overheard this conversation related it to the FBI on numerous occasions only to be ignored each time. Nothing was done about it, and no investigation into the incident has ever taken place

Israeli Citizens Get Tipped Off

Odigo logo

Israeli instant messaging company, Odigo, admitted that two of its employees received instant messages warning of an impeding attack 2 hours prior to the first plane hitting. Haaretz reported that the workers "informed the company's management, which immediately contacted the Israeli security services, which brought in the FBI." Micha Macover, CEO of Odigo, stated that "It may just have been someone who was joking and turned out they accidentally got it right."

• Odigo had a feature on its service that allowed the passing on of messages through a search feature based on nationality (as it was used a dating app as well by monitoring and tracing live which websites you were visiting and compared and matched you to others visiting the same websitie). Knowing these two particular Israelis were forewarned, it is possible - even likely - that they passed the message on to other Israelis. This is especially so considering that, out of the 4000 Israelis believed to have worked in and around the WTC and the Pentagon only FIVE died. 5/4000 Israelis. Statistically, with no forewarning about 10% (ie 400 of 4000) would have died; a toll as low as 200-300/4000 would not convincingly indicate foreknowledge. But only FIVE Israelis died and two of the five were aboard the allegedly hijacked flights; thus only three Israelis died in the WTC itself on 9/11. NB - this applies to Israeli nationals, NOT American Jews. Many Jews died in the WTC on 9/11.

• Odigo has offices in New York, and in Herzliya, Israel. Herzliya also happens to be the home of the Mossad Headquarters.

• Odigo was later acquired by another Israeli company called Comverse. The CEO of Comverse was Kobi Alexander a dual Israeli-US passport holder, spooky businessman and convicted fraudster.

ZIM forewarning

• ZIM, an Israeli company, vacated its office (10,000 square feet) in the North WTC tower a week before 9/11, breaking its lease. 49% of this company is owned by the Israeli government. The lease ran till the end of 2001, and it cost the company $50,000 to break it early. Later, FBI agent Michael Dick, who was investigating Israeli spying before and after 9/11 and looking into the suspicious move, was removed from his duties by the then head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, Michael Chertoff, another Jew and staunch supporter of Zionism.

According to a non-official cover (NOC) CIA source who worked closely with Dick, the 'Israeli movers' moved in explosives when ZIM moved out. With ZIM Israel bailing out just in time, this left one Israeli company, Clearforest with 19 employees, in the WTC on 9/11. Of the five employees in the building all managed to escape.

Mossad connections

U.S. Army Study: On Mossad

Mossad seal

In 2001, an elite US Army study center devised a plan for enforcing a major Israeli-Palestinian peace accord that would require about 20,000 well-armed troops stationed throughout Israel and a newly created Palestinian state. The report attempts to predict events in the first year of a peace-enforcement operation, and sees possible dangers for U.S. troops from both sides. Of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, the US army officers say: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act." reported in the Washington Post on September 10, 2001.

Israeli espionage around 9/11

Shortly before 9/11, over 140 Israelis had been arrested for suspected espionage. Some of them were posing as Art students. These suspects targeted or penetrated Military bases, DEA, FBI, Secret Service, ATF, U.S. Customs, IRS, INS, EPA, Interior Dept., U.S. Marshal’s Service, various US Attorneys Offices, Secret government offices Unlisted private homes of law enforcement/intelligence officers. Most of the suspects served in military intelligence, electronic surveillance intercept and or explosive ordinance units. Dozens of Israelis were arrested in American malls kiosks selling toys, acting as a front for a spying operation. 60 detained suspects worked for the Israeli company AMDOCS which provides most directory assistance calls and most call records and billings services for the U.S. by virtue of its contracts with the 25 largest telephone companies in the U.S.

After 9/11 – More detentions of Israelis

Following 9/11, over 60 Israelis were detained either under the Patriot anti-Terrorism Act or for immigration violations. Some of them were active Israeli military personnel. A number of them failed polygraph examinations when questioned for surveillance activities against the US Some of them were found to have been spying on Arabs.

Five Dancing Israelis

3 of the 5 "Dancing Israelis" on Israeli TV

Of the 90 or so detained Israelis there was a group of five Israelis: Sivan Kurzberg, Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Schmuel, Oded Ellner & Omer Marmari. They are now widely known as the "dancing Israelis", after they were spotted in multiple locations filming and celebrating the attacks.

The men were detained by NYPD. The police and FBI field agents found maps of the city with certain places highlighted, box cutters (the same items that the hijackers allegedly used), $4,700 cash stuffed in a sock, and foreign passports. Police also told a New Jersey local paper, The Bergen Record, that bomb sniffing dogs were brought to the van and that they reacted as if they had smelled explosives. According to the Jewish Daily Forward the FBI later determined that at least two of the Israelis were Mossad agents and that their employer, Urban Moving Systems was a Mossad front.

"We are not your problem"?

According to ABC News 20/20, after these five Israelis were detained, the driver of the van - Sivan Kurzberg - told the officers: "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem."

They later appeared on an Israeli talk show and claimed that they were in NYC that morning "to document the event". Witnesses reported they had set cameras PRIOR to the first plane strike, and were seen congratulating one another afterward. The five jubilant Israelis were also seen photographing one another. The FBI seized and developed their photos, one of which shows Sivan Kurzberg flicking a cigarette lighter in front of the smoldering ruins in an apparently celebratory gesture.

Truck Bomb Destined for George Washington Bridge

Full article: 9-11/George Washington Bridge plot

The Jerusalem Post later reported that a white van containing a bomb was stopped as it approached the George Washington Bridge, but the ethnicity of the suspects was not revealed. The Jerusalem Post reported on September 12, 2001 that “American security services overnight stopped a car bomb on the George Washington Bridge. The van, packed with explosives, was stopped on an approach ramp to the bridge. Authorities suspect the terrorists intended to blow up the main crossing between New Jersey and New York, Army Radio reported.”

911 Explosive laden van 2-3 arrests

Mural Van

One of the more bizarre events of the day came in the form of a mysterious white van parked a few blocks away from the twin towers on 6th and King Street, that had a mural painted on the side that depicted a jetliner crashing into the twin towers and exploding.

This police audio transmission indicates that the two suspects in the van started to run away when the van was stopped and were apprehended shortly thereafter in some sort of struggle. The police recording also indicates that the mural van subject to a controlled explosion following detainment of the two suspects.

911 Mural Van NYPD Recording

Further corroboration of this incident came in the form of a reference in the Norman Y. Mineta International Institute for Surface Transportation Policy Studies (MTI) report entitled: “Saving City Lifelines: Lessons Learned in the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks”. The relevant quote is as follows:

“There were continuing moments of alarm. A panel truck with a painting of a plane flying into the World Trade Center was stopped near the temporary command post. It proved to be rented to a group of ethnic Middle Eastern people who did not speak English. Fearing that it might be a truck bomb, the NYPD immediately evacuated the area, called out the bomb squad, and detained the occupants until a thorough search was made. The vehicle was found to be an innocent delivery truck.””
Norman Mineta (February 2006) 

The report is a whitewash but nonetheless credible evidence of the existence of the mural-painted van. Apparently the people who wrote this didn't find it odd that a delivery truck rented to "ethnic middle easterners" was painted up with a mural depicting the very events of the day! The police transmission speaks of an explosion yet this report mentions none. It safe to assume that the "ethnic middle easterners" referenced in the quote were not Arabs, because had they been, it would have been front page news. The incident was not mentioned in any official government reports. Official handling of the incident provides strong indication that these "ethnic middle easterners" were in fact Israelis.

Urban Moving Systems

All of the white vans belonged to the company "Urban Moving Systems" under the direction of Dominik Suter, an Israeli Spy who immediately fled to Israel after the attacks. The Jewish Forward quoted a "former high-ranking American intelligence official" that this company was a front operation for the Mossad. The Israelis were held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released by Michael Chertoff, who was the Head of USDOJ's Criminal Division at the time. The owner of UBS attempted to wipe his entry for Wikispooks as editor and hinted to litigation against this site as well.

Ptech Software systems – Computer control backdoor

Full article: Ptech

Michael Goff of Ptech

Most computerized systems likely to have been involved in jet-fighter scrambling decisions on 9/11 were running Ptech software. Ptech clients includes the FAA, NATO, the US Armed Forces, Congress, the US Department Of Energy, USDOJ, FBI, Customs, the IRS, the Secret Service and the White House.

Zionist Jew Michael S. Goff was marketing manager at Ptech and also worked for Israeli database company Guardium (Director Amit Yoran); Guardium has been funded by Cedar Fund, Veritas Venture Partners, and StageOne, all Mossad funding outfits. So, with Ptech, what we had was an American "sayan" (i.e. Jewish agent who works for the Mossad when needed), Michael S. Goff, with Mossad agents feeding him information and directing him while he worked with his Lebanese Muslim "partners" in Ptech.

Why would a young American lawyer working with a good law firm (Sedar & Chandler) in his home town suddenly leave the practice of law and work with a dodgy start-up software company owned and financed by a Lebanese and a Saudi? Goff's family is a respected and well-known family in Worcester, Mass. He was established at a good law firm after leaving law school.

Under Goff, Ptech software - loaded with trapdoors and Trojan horses - was sold and loaded onto the MOST sensitive computer systems. The same computer systems that failed miserably - or performed well, depending on your view - on 11 September 2001.

Goff's father and grandfather were both accountants who belonged to Worcester's "Commonwealth Lodge 600 of B'nai B'rith". They were both 32nd degree freemasons.

MITRE corporation (computer software)

MITRE – major defense contracting organization headed by former Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger. Ptech, along with the MITRE corporation, occupied the basement of the FAA for two years prior to 9/11. Their specific job was to look at interoperability issues between the FAA, NORAD and the US Air Force during an emergency.

Precision guided plane?

The first plane to hit the WTC (North Tower) hit the computer room of Marsh & McLennan, which had recently acquired Kroll Associates, which was owned by son of AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg & Jules Kroll.

Rabbi Dov Zakheim and Systems Planning Corporation

Dov Zakheim

Many researchers believe that the planes which struck the twin towers were precision guided by remote control. Although science fiction-sounding at first blush, remote control technology of airplanes has been around for decades. SPC Corporation provided the flight termination system and command transmitter system, the technology that allows planes to be remote controlled should the pilots be incapacitated or the plane hijacked.

Rabbi Dov Zakheim was the appointed Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller) from 2001 to 2004 under the George W. Bush administration. Zakheim deserves a question or two about why Donald Rumsfeld announced on Monday 10th September, 2001, that "we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions". Mondays are seldom considered good days for burying bad news, but of course the story was buried under 9/11's rubble. Not only the story - the part of the West wing of the Pentagon that was destroyed on 9-11 buried many accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts who might have been able to account for where that money went.

In May 2001, when Zakheim served at the Pentagon, it was an SPS (his firm’s) subsidiary, the Tridata Corporation, that oversaw the investigation of the first “terrorist” attack on the World Trade Center in 1993. This would have given them intimate knowledge of the security systems and structural blueprints of the buildings complex.

According to the SPC website, a recent customer at that time was Eglin AFB, located in Florida. Eglin is very near another Air Force base in Florida-MacDill AFB, where Dov Zakheim contracted to send at least 32 Boeing 767 aircraft, as part of the Boeing /Pentagon tanker lease agreement. His access to Boeing 767 tankers, remote control flight systems, and his opinions as expressed in the PNAC document suggest he may have been a key figure in the 9/11 event.

Ben Chertoff wrote a hit piece for Popular Mechanics

Stephen Cauffman headed NIST's "investigation" into the destruction of the WTC

Immediately following the 11 September attacks, the Zionist network was methodically manoeuvring behind the scenes to quash any legitimate investigation that might reveal what really happened that day. They made it their goal to control any and all angles of so called "investigation" so that they could quickly cover up any and all evidence pointing to Zionist involvement.

Chief judges

Full article: 9-11/Legal action

All the judges appointed were Zionist Jews:

• Alvin K. Hellerstein - a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and has been involved in several high-profile 9/11 related cases including consolidated master case against three airlines, ICTS International NV and Pinkerton's airport security firms, the World Trade Center owners, and Boeing Co., the aircraft manufacturer. Hellerstein is a dedicated Zionist with ties to the Jewish mafia dating back to 1956. Hellerstein's wife is a former senior officer & current treasurer of AMIT. From its website it states: "Founded in 1925, AMIT is the world's leading supporter of religious Zionist education and social services for Israel's children and youth, nurturing and educating Israeli children to become productive, contributing members of society."

• Michael B. Mukasey - This Orthodox Jewish judge oversaw the litigation between Larry Silverstein and insurance companies after 9/11. Silverstein was awarded billions. Mukasey prevented full inquiry into the Five Dancing Israelis incident who were arrested in connection with 9/11. He played a role in their release. He was later appointed attorney general by President Bush. He defended the patriot act, and he supports torture policies.

• Michael Chertoff - In charge of the Criminal Division in the USDOJ on 9/11. Essentially responsible for the 9/11 NON-investigation. He let hundreds of Israeli spies who were arrested prior to and on 9/11 go back home to Israel. He was also a prosecuting judge in the first terrorist attack on the WTC in 1993. Chertoff purportedly holds dual citizenship with the US and Israel. His family is one of the founding families of the state of Israel and his mother was one of the first ever agents of the Mossad. His father and uncle are ordained rabbis and teachers of the Talmud.

• Kenneth Feinberg - set up the victim’s compensation fund ($7 billion); controlled by a Zionist cabal, it managed to get 97% of the victims’ families to take money in exchange for dropping demands a legal investigation of 9/11.

• Sheila Birnbaum - Another key Zionist involved in the cover-up of 9/11 is Sheila Birnbaum of Skaddan, Arps law firm. Birnbaum was appointed 'special mediator' of the legal suits filed by the 3% of families who decided not to be bought off. Nothing of significance has happened with these claims since.

• Benjamin Chertoff - (cousin of Michael Chertoff) - Ben wrote the 9/11 hit piece in Popular Mechanics claiming to "debunk 9/11 conspiracy theories". His use of ridiculous straw-man arguments largely discredits the piece though it is still widely quoted by defenders of 'the official narrative'. He claims his relation to Michael Chertoff is "distant" but Chris Bollyn proves otherwise.

• Stephen Cauffman - Leader of NIST investigations which in total amount to a systematic coverup of the destruction of WTC 7. The NIST position remains that fire, together with minor damage caused by "ejected debris" from the destruction of the North Tower situated a block away with WTC building 8 in between, demolished WTC building 7.

9/11 Commission

Full article: 9/11 Commission

Philip Zelikow, 9/11 Commission Executive Director

Various members of the 9-11/Commission disavowed its findings and denounced it as a whitewash.

• Philip Zelikow (Dual Citizen US / Israel) - 9/11 Commission Gatekeeper

Zelikow was appointed the executive director of the 9/11 commission - the most powerful position of the committee. This Zionist Jew is responsible for concocting the contrived fiction that was presented as the 9/11 Commission Report - official narrative. The report contains hundreds of glaring anomalies, contradictions, omissions and downright falsehoods. It even manages to omit any reference at all to the collapse of Building 7 at 5:20 pm.

Initially Henry Kissinger was appointed as executive director but surrendered the post after enormous protest. This paved the way for Zionist operative Zelikow to take the helm. Zelikow has numerous conflicts of interest that clearly inhibited his ability to tell the truth to the American people about the 9/11 terror attacks.

Zelikow was a Bush Admin insider, having been on the transition team in early 2000. In 1989-91 Zelikow worked with Condoleezza Rice on the National Security Council for the George H. W. Bush Administration. In 1995, Zelikow and Rice wrote a book together. From 1996-98 Zelikow is director of the Aspen Strategy Group which also included people such as Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz as fellow members. After George W. Bush took office, Zelikow was named to a position on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board [PFIAB], and worked on other Administration task forces and commissions. Zelikow position on the Commission made him its 'Gatekeeper" enabling him to decide which topics would or would not be investigated. He was also secretly in contact with one of Bush's close advisors - Karl Rove - throughout the gestation of the Commission Report.

Crime Scene Evidence Quickly Removed and Destroyed

The SIMS group made a fast buck destroying the crime scene evidence of 9-11.

Alan D. Ratner’s Metals Management and the SIMS group was made responsible for quickly scooping up the WTC steel/debris and shipping it off to Asian smelters. Alan Ratner is Jewish. Ratner merged with the SIMS group and the Hugo Neu corporation and they made a handsome profit. Ratner sold over 50,000 tons of crime scene evidence steel to a Chinese company at $120 per ton. Ratner had obtained it for $70 per ton. He not only destroyed evidence from one of the biggest crime scenes in history, he made a vast profit doing so. More research on the criminal destruction of crime scene evidence can be found here.

Cass Sunstein 's "Conspiracy Theories"

Full article: “Conspiracy theory”

Cass Sunstein equated 9-11/Dissidence with "risks of violence".

In 2008, Cass Sunstein co-authored a paper entitled Conspiracy Theories, an effort to promote the pseudo-scientific study of what are referred to as "conspiracy theories" (a term launched by the CIA in 1968 to try to undermine criticism of the "lone nut" narrative of the JFK assassination). The abstract of Sunnstein's paper mentioned that "A recent example is the belief, widespread in some parts of the world, that the attacks of 9/11 were carried out not by Al Qaeda, but by Israel or the United States. Those who subscribe to conspiracy theories may create serious risks, including risks of violence, and the existence of such theories raises significant challenges for policy and law."

Ari Fleischer, White House Press Secretary on 9/11

Since just 2% of the US population are Jewish, it is remarkable that 42 held in top positions in Bush's cabinet. Below are some of the Zionists who held important jobs on the day of September 11^th:

• Rabbi Dov Zakheim – Co-author of the PNAC paper on rebuilding America’s defenses advocating the necessity of a Pearl Harbor-like incident to mobilize America. Was Pentagon comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. Two large sums of money disappeared from the Pentagon on his watch. On September 10, 2001 Donald Rumsfeld reported $2.3 trillion counld not be accounted for. Later Zakheim was unable to account for further trillion. Zakheim also had flights of American F-15s and F-16s sold as surplus to Israel at a fraction of their value.
• Michael Chertoff – Assistant Attorney General for the criminal division of the USDOJ; later, Secretary of Homeland Security. His wife, Meryl Chertoff, was a regional director of the ADL. His mother was a flight attendant for El Al and thus had involvement with Mossad. His father and uncle are Rabbis.
• Richard Perle – Chairman of Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. He was expelled from senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970 after the NSA caught him passing classified documents to Israel. NNDB reports that in 1970 "a federal wiretap found Perle discussing classified information with staff at the Israeli embassy. There is no indication he was reprimanded."
• Paul Wolfowitz – Was US/Deputy Defense Secretary and a member of the Defense Policy Board in the Pentagon.
• Douglas Feith - Headed reconstruction in Iraq. Effectively in command, with Wolfowitz, of the War Department on 9-11; Undersecretary of War for Policy. Fired from National Security Council in 1976 on suspicion of passing classified documents to Israel. "Dual Citizen" of US-Israel. Douglas Feith created the "Office of Special Plans" shortly after 9/11 which was where all of the fake intelligence accusing Iraq of developing WMD's and having ties to Al Qaida came from.
• Elliott Abrams - Key National Security Council Advisor. Associated with criminal Zionist / pro-Israel groups: AEI, PNAC, CSP and JINSA. Closely associated with Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, and Bill Kristol. Convicted of lying to congress in the Iran-Contra affair, later pardoned by ^[Which?] Bush.
• Marc Grossman - Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs on 9-11; met with General Mahmud Ahmed‎, head of Pakistan’s ISI and 9-11 financier, on or shortly after 9-11; “dual citizen” of US and Israel
• Ari Fleischer — White House Press Secretary for Bush on 9-11; Hardlined Iraq's WMD lies to the press; “dual citizen” of US and Israel; connected to the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidics

Who was on board flight 11?

Daniel Lewin, an Israeli spook reportedly shot or stabbed on a plane involved in 9-11.

Daniel Lewin, an Israeli Jew, was confirmed to be a member of the special Israeli commando unit, the Sayeret Matkal, which specializes in "anti-hijack" takeovers and assassinations. The official narrative has it that Lewin got involved in a struggle with one of the alleged hijackers and ended up getting shot, which was later revised to being stabbed. Another possibility is that he landed the plane at Stewart Airport where it was swapped for a remote control drone. Stewart Airport was the "privatized" airport where the flight-paths of the alleged planes that hit the twin towers converged. His parents left the U.S. and went back to Israel on September 10th, one day before the attack.

Bush Speech Writers Grossly Inflate Number of Israeli Casualties

David Frum, Bilderberg Steering committee member and speech writer for George W. Bush

On 20 September, 2001, in his address to the Joint Session of Congress following the 9/11 attacks, Bush grossly inflated the number of Israeli casualties in the attacks from 5 to 130.

Who was Bush's Speechwriter?

• David Frum: This Zionist personality was Bush's Speechwriter at the time and is the one responsible for inflating the number of Israeli dead to 26x the actual number. Why did he do this? Because he's a Zionist and was attempting to garner sympathy for Israel and project them as a 'great ally' of the United States who were now 'partners' in this global fight against "terrorism".

Frum is also the man behind the "Axis Of Evil" label.

He also co-authored a book with Zionist Richard Perle, entitled "An End To Evil: How To Win The War On Terror", about the "Global War On Terror"; it defends the illegal and fraudulent invasion of Iraq and calls for regime change in Iran & Syria.

Mohammed Atta Leads Us Directly To Jewish Crime Network Doorstep

Jack Abramoff, Deep state operative

Less than one week before 9/11 several of the "19 hijackers", including Mohamed Atta, boarded his Sun Cruz Casino Boat in Florida.

• Jack Abramoff: owned these casino boats. A Zionist Jew, he entertained the Arab patsies aboard his yacht. Abramoff was a Bush Administration insider having been on the Transition Advisory Team assigned to the Department of the Interior in 2001. Abramoff is a lobbyist who is a central figure in a plethora of political scandals, fraud, and other scams. He was sentenced to five years in prison term for fraud, conspiracy, and tax evasion. He also had foreknowledge of the War In Iraq.

Al Qaeda = Mossad Playing Dress Up

Adam Yahiye Gadahn

A still image from "laughing hijackers" video showing Ziad Jarrah(left), and Mohammed Atta(right), allegedly making their martyrdom video just before 9/11.

One possible translation of "Al-Qaeda" is "The Base", but it also translates as "The Toilet." The Arabic word ‘Qa’ada’ means ‘to sit’ (on the toilet bowl). Arab homes have three kinds of toilets: ‘Hamam Franji’ or ‘Al-Qaeda’ or foreign toilet, "Hamam Arabi" or Arab toilet, and a potty used for children called ‘Ma Qa’adia’ or ‘Little Qaeda.’ ‘Ana raicha Al Qaeda’ is a colloquial expression for "I’m going to the toilet," so this seems like an unlikely choice of name for such a group.

Ali al-Jarrah

Adam Yahiye Gadahn also known as Azzam the American is the so called Al Qaida spokesperson who releases videos tormenting the world with his anti-American rants. The FBI even have him on their most wanted terrorists list. It turned out he is a Zionist Jew named Adam Pearlman, from California. Adam's grandfather, Carl Pearlman, was a prominent surgeon and on the Board of Directors of the Anti-Defamation League. The New York Times reported that Ziad Jarrah's cousin, Ali Al Jarrah, was discovered by Lebanese authorities to have been a spy for Israel for 25 years.

Netanyahu Openly Gleeful of 9/11 Terror Attacks

Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, stated publicly that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were "good" for US - Israeli relations, and that the event would generate "immediate sympathy" for the Israeli cause of ethnically cleansing the Palestinians. The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan:

“We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."”
Benjamin Netanyahu

Note: A YouTube video corroborating Netanyahu's words was removed for what is described as "a terms of use violation"
The YouTube link was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZxPUIj4xxY

Of course Netanyahu's nonchalantness about making such controversial statements in public is not that surprising considering how much control Zionist Jews have over the American media. The aftermath of 9/11 saw the Zionist-media unveil a relentless demonization campaign against Arabs stereotyping them as a bunch of fanatical plotting terrorists - a cause for celebration for Netanyahu and his brethren who look for any excuse to slaughter innocent Palestinians while confiscating their land.

Connected Events

Zionist would-be terrorist incident at the Mexican Congress Building

Full article: 2001 Mexican legislative assembly attack

As reported by La Vox De Atzlan, two men posing as press photographers, but in reality Israeli Mossad agents, were arrested inside the Mexican congress on October 10, 2001 armed with 9mm pistols, 9 grenades, explosives, three detonators, and 58 bullets, but were released from custody, reportedly because of pressure from the Israeli embassy. "We believe that the two Zionists terrorist were going to blow up the Mexican Congress. The second phase was to mobilize both the Mexican and US press to blame Osama bin Laden. Most likely then Mexico would declare war on Afghanistan as well, commit troops and all the oil it could spare to combat Islamic terrorism".

The two men, Salvador Guersson Smecke (a retired Israeli IDF colonel, age 34) and Saur Ben Zvi (age 27) were released because of a high level emergency meeting took place between the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Jorge Gutman, General Macedo de la Concha and an Ariel Sharon envoy who flew to Mexico City specially for that purpose.

2001 Anthrax attacks

Full article: 2001 Anthrax attacks

A week after 9-11, anthrax spores were mailed to several people in US, with letters that explicitly linked to the attack date, and also contained the text "Death To America, Death To Israel, Allah Is Great". The 2001 anthrax attacks were initially blamed on Al-Qaeda, but later posthumously attributed to a Roman Catholic "lone nut" bioweapons researcher.

Jerome Hauer had advised White House staff to start taking cipro - an anti-biotic effective against inhalational anthrax - a week before the 2001 Anthrax attacks. Hauer is a "terror expert" and was the one who was in charge of the NIH response to the anthrax attacks. His reactions to the anthrax mailings were, at best, slow and he took every opportunity to invoke "Osama Bin Laden" in the rhetoric he employed in his public utterances about them.

General Hamid Gul

In an interview only a few weeks after 9/11, Hamid Gul — former director-general of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence from 1987-1989 — told Arnaud de Borchgrave, United Press International that he believes the Mossad, not al-Qaeda, were the perpetrators of the attacks, and suggests that if USA has any evidence against Al Qaeda, it should present it to an international court. He stated: "The U.S. spends $40 billion a year on its 11 intelligence agencies. That's $400 billion in 10 years. Yet the Bush Administration says it was taken by surprise. I don't believe it. Within 10 minutes of the second twin tower being hit in the World Trade Center CNN said Osama bin Laden had done it. That was a planned piece of disinformation by the real perpetrators. It created an instant mindset and put public opinion into a trance, which prevented even intelligent people from thinking for themselves."

Francesco Cossiga

Francesco Cossiga

Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga (who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio) was reported in November 2007, in Corriere della Sera (Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper) that 9-11 was a False flag attack run by the Mossad and the CIA, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies. In what translates awkwardly into English, Cossiga stated that

“All democratic circles in America and of Europe, especially those of the Italian centre-left, now know that the disastrous attack was planned and realized by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world, to place the blame on Arab countries and to persuade the Western powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Francesco Cossiga (November 2007) 
The Guardian claimed in his obituary that "he was, of course, being ironic".

Kevin Barrett

Kevin Barrett

Kevin Barrett has named Benjamin Netanyahu as the architect of the 9/11, directing the Mossad/Shin Bet, although Netanyahu was beaten in the Likud elections to the Premiership in early 2001 by Ariel Sharon. Netanyahu has a long history of involvement in Israeli "terrorism" and politics, and has been a prominent member of the Likud Government since 1993. The Likud Party is the literal successor of the Jewish terrorist organization known as the Irgun. He was the Israeli PM to whom the ACB Doc was presented. Netanyahu founded the Jonathan Institute in the late 1970's to study (and plan) "terrorism". In 1979 he hosted the Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism (attended by George Bush Sr and other deep politicians) and in 1986 published Terrorism: How the West Can Win.

Alan Sabrosky

Retired FBI secret investigation into 9-11 found "US-based people helping the network" that were protected by redacting the names of the helpers, sealing the documents mentioning them and not releasing the report and putting the FBI agent under gag order. A reminder that Israeli (and Saudi) spies were already reported by ccm to be in the US.

Alan Sabrosky, former Director of Studies at the US Army War College.

This video is overlaid onto the soundtrack of a March 2010 interview with Alan Sabrosky, who states that the physics of the WTC "collapse" are impossible, and that staging 9/11 would have required the combined resources of the US and Israeli deep states, both organisations which benefited from the attack. Sabrosky also makes a point about the media coverage of 9/11:

“Finally, we need to take a hard look at why the corporate media (MSM) have paid more attention to Sarah Palin’s wardrobe than they have to dissecting blatant falsehoods, discrepancies and inconsistencies in the US Government’s treatment of 9/11 and its aftermath.”
Alan Sabrosky (September 10, 2009) 

Sabrosky leaves Israel and her American Jewish supporters whom he sees as traitors with a warning:

“If these Americans and those like them ever fully understand just how much of their suffering — and the suffering we have inflicted on others — is properly laid on the doorsteps of Israel and its advocates in America, they will sweep aside those in politics, the press and the pulpits alike whose lies and disloyalty brought this about and concealed it from them. They may well leave Israel looking like Carthage after the Romans finished with it. It will be Israel’s own great fault.”
Alan Sabrosky (September 10, 2009)

US Deep state involvement

Mark Gorton's Fifty Years of the Deep State offers a contrasting explanation of the events of 9-11. He has very little to say on involvement by Zionist Jews, but instead focuses on the involvement US deep state. Looking at the 9-11/Cover-up and the 9-11/Media response, he deduces that the attacks had their full support, and suggests that George H. W. Bush may well have been the chief architect, from his position as head of what he names "The Cabal"..

Elias Davidsson	“Larry Silverstein was and is a known real-estate mogul in New York. He is Jewish and a known friend of Israeli politicians, such as Ariel Sharon and Benyamin Netanyahu. He was for many years the owner of WTC No. 7, a 47-floor building that housed, inter alia, New York City's Emergency Center, offices of the CIA, SEC, the Secret Service and other government bodies. In 2001, the City of New York decided to lease out the Twin Towers to private investors. One of the bidders was Larry Silverstein. Larry Silverstein is suspected in some circles for the above reasons to be an accomplice to the mass murder of 9/11, in which several of his own employees died. Yet, he did not make any effort to cover his alleged tracks. He leased the WTC just six weeks before 9/11, announced this lease to the world, insured it against terrorism for a whopping $3.2 billion and “admitted” in a documentary film to have given on 9/11 the authorization to “pull” WTC 7 (that is to demolish the building). He then sued insurance companies for double damages, because each tower was hit by a separate aircraft, thus displaying what would be widely regarded as greed. He even admitted to have escaped death by canceling a meeting at the WTC on 9/11. And he has never attempted to conceal his friendship with controversial Israeli politicians, such as Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu. We have here all the requisite elements: A greedy Jew, proximity to the crime, motive. It is precisely the high visibility of Larry Silverstein as an ideal villain that makes me hesitate to implicate him in the crime. His alleged complicity is simply too obvious. It is difficult to believe that a person implicated in planning arson would take out a lease of the building six weeks before the crime and announce his agreement publicly. It is even more difficult to believe that a smart businessman, such as Silverstein, would risk the electrical chair in a criminal enterprise whose outcome he could not foresee. It is far more probable that Silverstein was framed into leasing the World Trade Center by the real plotters, precisely because he is greedy, because he is Jewish and because his ties to Israel. More to the point: Silverstein was not in a position to manage the hijacking exercises conducted by the military on the morning of 9/11, not in a position to steer airplanes against buildings and not in a position to wire WTC 7 within hours to demolish the building. Whatever his alleged role in 9/11, if any, the coordinators of Operation 9/11 did not sit in his office, but presumably in the Pentagon, led by Donald Rumsfeld. Larry Silverstein, however, represents an ideal bogeyman. The fact that Mr. Silverstein did not demonstrate any interest in investigating the demise of the Twin Towers he had leased, is no evidence of malfeasance: In that he acted like most Americans, who till this day do not wish to ask questions and know the truth. Dov Zakheim is another such ideal bogeyman. He is an ordained rabbi who made it to a high position in both government and private business. He worked in the Pentagon between 1985 and 1987. From 1987-2001, Zakheim was CEO of SPC International, a high-technology firm that manufactures, inter alia, equipment to remotely control aircraft. During 2000, he was a foreign policy advisor to George W. Bush. He was hired as a Comptroller of the Pentagon in the spring of 2001. On September 10, 2001 , Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary, announced to a stupefied internal Pentagon audience that the Pentagon could not track $2.3 trillion dollars in its books. This statement disappeared, as it were, into the memory hole the next day because of the deadly events, but continues to be widely quoted by Jew-bashers, who connect these missing funds to Zakheim. A Google search on the string “$2.3 billion Zakheim” yields no less than 150,000 hits. But is it at all true that the Pentagon could not track $2.3 trillion, as Rumsfeld claimed? And if that was the case, could Zakheim make that money disappear from Pentagon accounting within a few months? And if he could do so, why wasn't he accused, charged and prosecuted? But probably the most important question is: Why did Rumsfeld make at all this statement, and precisely on the eve of 9/11? Wouldn't a political leader rather attempt to conceal such apparent malfeasance? Or was there a hidden motive behind this bizarre announcement?”	Elias Davidsson	22 December 2013
Kees van der Pijl	“After my remark on Zionist responsibility for 9/11, the "Israel lobby" is no longer an empty term for me.
