How US covered up Saudi role in 9/11
NY POST ^ | April 17, 2016 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 04/17/2016 6:54:43 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance with the oil-rich kingdom.

That’s quite an understatement.

Actually, the kingdom’s involvement was deliberately covered up at the highest levels of our government. And the coverup goes beyond locking up 28 pages of the Saudi report in a vault in the US Capitol basement. Investigations were throttled. Co-conspirators were let off the hook.

Case agents I’ve interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in Washington and San Diego, the forward operating base for some of the Saudi hijackers, as well as detectives at the Fairfax County (Va.) Police Department who also investigated several 9/11 leads, say virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, as well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.

Yet time and time again, they were called off from pursuing leads. A common excuse was “diplomatic immunity.”

Those sources say the pages missing from the 9/11 congressional inquiry report — which comprise the entire final chapter dealing with “foreign support for the September 11 hijackers” — details “incontrovertible evidence” gathered from both CIA and FBI case files of official Saudi assistance for at least two of the Saudi hijackers who settled in San Diego.

Some information has leaked from the redacted section, including a flurry of pre-9/11 phone calls between one of the hijackers’ Saudi handlers in San Diego and the Saudi Embassy, and the transfer of some $130,000 from then-Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar’s family checking account to yet another of the hijackers’ Saudi handlers in San Diego.

Remember, it has also been alleged that Barky got his school financing from the Saudi royal families too.

Well, the Bush family is/was supposedly tied to Saudis through their oil dealings in the past, so, maybe there’s more blame to go around, but we don’t talk about that kind of thing at the country club, do we?

This article really makes one’s blood boil ... plus, all the other incidents you hear about misbehaving Saudis who immediately claim “diplomatic immunity” ....

How about a $50 per barrel tax on all Saudi oil imports? US has no free trade agreement with Saudi Arabia, and oil isn’t covered by the WTO, so there’s no penalty. Plus, helps the domestic oil industry (Canada should do the same)

High time these bastards paid for the way they’ve treated all of us.

Bowing to the Saudis. Wow.

As I remember, George Bush was in office. Was it GWB that began the effort to hide intelligence from the American people?

Saudi Arabia = North Korea

Why do we have anything to do with them? Pompous kings and princes, hypocrites.

Of course...Bill and Hillary know nothing.

Hillary's 2014 income sources (selection)

Kuwait America Foundation (Spouse) $175,000

Tanmiah Commercial Group (Spouse) Riyadh, Saudi Arabia $300,000

Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI) (Spouse)

Abu Dhabi, UAE $500,000

===========================================


The Clinton Foundation took $1,250,000 (that we know of)
from Mideast kingdom--Qatar---(recently exposed as embroiled in FIFA bribery).

The Clinton presidential library in Arkansas lists Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million (at the time of research).

The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...

==============================================

Qatar became the new home of the Gitmo Five via the infamous Bergdahl swap.

==================================================

Hillary later told Fox's Greta Van Susteren that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation.

Hillary's remarks lead some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.

=====================================================

The Clinton Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.

====================================================

REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.

From the article:

"After he [Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar] met on Sept. 13, 2001, with President Bush in the White House, where the two old family friends shared cigars on the Truman Balcony, the FBI evacuated dozens of Saudi officials from multiple cities, including at least one Osama bin Laden family member on the terror watch list. Instead of interrogating the Saudis, FBI agents acted as security escorts for them, even though it was known at the time that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens."

I don't care who I piss off or offend, but based upon this obvious collusion between our illustrious 43rd President and the Saudi terrorist conspirators, I want to see GWB put on trial, and if convicted, swinging from a g*ddamned noose.

It looks like a single wide trailer house

..the infamous “religion of peace” statement in GWB’s speech before Congress post 911 was a signal I think...

come first?

This is TR_ _ S _ N.

I think both Bush and Obama need to be brought before a Senate Commission and pressed on some kind of charges. The whole Iraq War and the arranged (scripted) war in Syria? All part of some cover-up for Saudi Arabia. All this money wasted by the US, and lives lost....back to this one group.

And Yeb got all bent out of shape when Trump confronted him about the connection at the debate.
The Bush family are the reason the GOP has become what it has become.

Thank you. I have to say that picture disgusts me more than Obama bowing.

Here is a classic example of no matter which party wins, we still lose.

That’s why we need to take a chance on a non politician one last time before we have to take more, I fear, drastic measures.
