Two Foreign-Owned Companies Have Airport Security in WTC Attack
Various | September 16, 2001 | Jedediah Smith

Posted on 09/16/2001 12:15:37 PM PDT by jedediah smith

While it is possible that Tuesday's WTC attack could have been the result of sloppy airport security, the natural suspicion is that the terrorists had inside help to permit them to smuggle their weapons onboard. Obviously this points a finger at the organization and/or persons in charge of security at the airports. The Newark Airport security is handled by the Ports Authority, a quasi-governmental agency which also has security for WTC. The Dulles Airport security is also handled by a government agency. Both of these could easily have been infiltrated by terrorists or their accomplices. But even more interestingly, security at the Logan International Aiport in Boston was contracted out by the Mass. Port Authority to two companies, Globe Aviation Services of Irving, Texas and Huntleigh USA Corp. of St. Louis. If we explore further, some motivation may be uncovered that would give reason for these firms to cooperate with the terrorists.

Huntleigh USA was bought out in 1999 by ICTS International (International Consultants on Targeted Security). [See http://stlouis.bcentral.com/stlouis/stories/1999/03/08/daily18.html] which is headquartered in the Netherlands, and most of their business is in Europe. Chairman Ezra Harel and Menachem Atzmon control 47% of the stock (see http://www.hoovers.com/co/capsule/4/0%2C2163%2C51774%2C00.html.) Their speciality seems to be "passenger profiling," which consists of interviewing passengers and profiling them accordingly. In addition they conduct "advanced passenger screening, most likely a euphemism for computerized database searches of passenger lists for prospective terrorists or potentially dangerous passengers. In this case it would appear that their procedures failed. There is no information available which would detail exactly what their security responsibilities are at Logan International. Their website has a lot of pages that say "This section will be coming soon."

ICTS International, Harel and Atzmon have questionable backgrounds. In a June 26, 2001 report (see http://www.union-network.org/uniproperty.nsf/8d3b4efea6501bdec12568950046cdc2/3cc751aff1684489c1256a760026c470?OpenDocument) the AFL-CIO urged sharelholders of ICTS to vote against a proposal for issuing more stock, because "ICTS continues to make major investments outside of its core business of aviation security services. Many of these investments may be high risk and also raise conflict of interest concerns as many involved businesses affiliated with Supervisory Board Chairman, Ezra Harel, and boardmember Menachem Atzmon, or their holding company Leedan Business Enterprises...ICTS's investment strategy shows disturbing similarities to a previous Harel venture, AP Industries, where bondholders may have lost up to half of their original investment. According to a New York Times article, 'AP Industries sold $100 million in "junk bonds" to finance an acquisition binge. Numerous acquisitions later, the case [was] spent, mostly on money-losing operations, including one bought from the company's chairman' (NY Times, 7/28/89). AP Industries was forced to file for bankruptcy shortly after."

This same group of people have also been involved with another bankrupt company, Pioneer Commercial Funding Corp (see http://www.secinfo.com/dUScp.4f893.htm and http://biz.yahoo.com/e/010329/pcfc.ob.html). As examples of the links between the two, M. Albert Nissim was president of Pioneer and had served as president of ICTS. Boaz Harel, Ezra's brother, had served as Chairman of the Board of Pioneer and Chairman of ICTS USA, an indirect subsidiary of Leedan International Holdings B.V.

It has been proposed that a possible motivation for the WTC attack was to destroy all the financial records contained inside. There was probably tons of such evidence of fraud by Wall Street which are now gone. As an example, GATA, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, had filed a lawsuit against numerous parties that were allegedly manipulating the price of gold: Alan Greenspan, Goldman-Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Chase Manhattan, Lawrence Summers, and the Bank of International Settlements. The defendants' motion to dismiss was scheduled to be heard this fall. These groups were allegedly collaborating to short gold and put the proceeds in the stock market, which helped Bill Clinton look good during the ensuing boom. If those associated with ICTS had also been involved in financial fraud such as this, as their alleged junk bond selling mentioned above, they would have had good motivation to allow the terrorist attack to take place. Logan International, where ICTS has security, was the site where both planes departed that eventually hit the WTC. The terrorists that got by them were not aiming for any other targets.

It is also worth mentioning that the Netherlands, location of ICTS' headquarters, is an ultra-liberal NWO country that has been very cozy with Bill Clinton. The NWO's World Court is also located there at the Hague. ICTS definitely warrants further investigation.

The case of Globe Aviation is a slightly different story. It turns out that Globe is owned by Pinkerton-Burns. The famous company founded by Allan Pinkerton, who guarded Abraham Lincoln on his presidential first campaign, was merged with Burns International by their owner, Securitas Group of Sweden. Securitas acquired Pinkerton in 1999, and later that year bought APS on the west coast and First Security in the northeast. In August 2000 they acquired Burns International, the second largest security company in the US (see http://www.securitasgroup.com/www\secgroup\securitasEn.nsf/Securitaskoncernen/800?OpenDocument).

Securitas has also been actively acquiring European security firms as well. They have firms in Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, France, Great Britain, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Czech Republic, Canada and Mexico.

It doesn't seem to be a good idea to have foreign-owned companies operating security in America. As was already exposed by the excellent research of rdavis84, Nita Nupress and many other Freepers, the bombed McMurrah federal building in OKC was "guarded" by Akal, a Sikh Indian firm. It seems more than coincidental that we now have had two record-setting terrorist events which should have been prevented by foreign-owned security firms which were supposedly "protecting" the public. Even if there is no sinister conspiracy afoot, their track record suggests we should immediately discontinue this practice.

Looking a little closer at Globe Aviation Services, I found this complaint about them on the Internet (see http://www.northworstair.org/globe/): a Mr. Ronald Riley evidently experienced damage to his computer while it was being handled during the "predeparture screening process." Mr. Riley had difficulty even finding a phone number for Globe Aviation, and when he did, the only response was an answering machine. His calls were never returned. The only address he could find was a P.O. Box. In his own words, Globe appears to be a "shiftless, fly by night operation." Actually it appears to be a government cut-out. It is common in the security business for some of these companies to hire ex-government law enforcement/intelligence officers. This is certainly true in the case of Burns and Pinkerton, Globe's parent companies, and is most likely the case with Globe as well. The use of such government-speak phrases in their letter such as "predeparture security screening" points further towards government involvement.

There is no denying that Securitas is the company ultimately responsible for this security lapse, if that was indeed all it was. They issued a press release on their website which says the following (from http://www.securitasgroup.com/www/secgroup/SecuritasEn.nsf/e917820d82045e99c125691c004fcad9/b99c2396a8e3fba2c1256ac600608caf?OpenDocument) [Note: why is this long URL necessary?]:

"Burns' subsidiary, Globe Security, takes care of passenger checks for American Airlines at Boston's airport. There is nothing to indicate that checks were not performed correctly, in accordance with our instructions. The information available to date regarding the 'weapons' that were used 'pen knives and box cutters'- also indicates that no forbidden weapons were carried on board by passengers. Our contract with American Airlines binds us to confidentiality and specific inquiries should be made to the FBI.

"There is speculation in the media and the world of finance regarding the effects of this atrocity on Securitas. Suggestions range from presumed large claims for damages to fantastic business deals as a result of an increased requirement for security. We are gathering our resources in order to help in any way we can in the immediate crisis and will not take part in any form of speculation. We have delivered security and handled associated risks for 150 years and have learned that prosperity grows better in a peaceful world than in a world at war that is terror-filled. It is prosperity that in its turn generates demand for our services.

"No individual or single organization alone can fight evil or change the world. But we can all do something. Our responsibility in Securitas is to continue to strive to deliver first-rate security and by doing that, make our contribution to a better future."

Note: the following are the latest FAA regulations on airport security from Title 14 Part 107.21 (from the e-CFR at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfrhtml_00/Title_14/14cfr107_00.html):

(a) "Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section [which provides for law enforcement exemptions-JS], no person may have an explosive, incendiary, or deadly or dangerous weapon on or about the individual's person or accessible property"

Maybe in Sweden so-called "box cutters" are harmless, but the ones we use in America are definitely dangerous, as just proven by the terrorists. If Securitas can't tell a dangerous weapon when they see it, they need to get out of the security business.

However, if this was not just a security lapse, but rather a purposeful effort to allow terrorists to accomplish their horrible act of brutality upon innocent people, the question is why? There are probably several answers; a simple one may be inferred from the following statement (from http://www.hoovers.com/cgi- bin/offsite?site=HBN&url=http://www.northernlight.com/nlquery.fcg^qr=Securitas&si= SOURCE%5E%3D1&eek=SOURCE%5E%3D314&us=025&cc=&sb.x=47&sb.y=21):

STOCKHOLM, Aug 13, 2001 (AFX-Europe via COMTEX)--Securitas AB has been downgraded to 'hold' from 'buy' by Danske Securities because it expects the stock to become increasingly vulnerable to a sector rotation away from defensive stocks."

But there exists an even more important reason: they may be aligned with Bill Clinton and the NWO. According to Dr. John Coleman, a former MI6 agent, Clinton was chosen and put in office by a group of super rich European elites he terms the "Committee of 300." See his book by the same name for more details. One of their main goals is to create a Third World War revolving around the conflict between the Arabs and Jews. The Committee of 300 is a satanic group and they ultimately control or manipulate the myriad of anti-Christian secret societies in the world. The purpose of their contrived WWIII is to bring about the destruction of Israel and Christianity. Such a conflict and the ensuing chaos will cause the world to beg for the supposed solution: a stable one-world government which will enslave mankind.

You may have noticed the media subtly but constantly bombarding us with the phrase "Attack on America" on our TV screens. Even local affiliates are parroting it. This is most likely attributable to the Tavistock Institute, a previously hidden arm of the Committee of 300 which Dr. Coleman exposed. This psychological research organization has conducted extensive testing to see how much stress and information overload mass populations can take before they become numb, which they term "long range penetration." Tavistock originates new psychological phrases and plants them in the culture through the controlled media. They created the phrase "Gulf War Crisis" after arranging that war. The rapid institution by the media of this latest phrase, "Attack on America," designed to psychologically instill fear in Americans, greatly suggests that it originated with Tavistock, which thus points a finger at the Committee of 300 as being ultimately behind this horrible terrorist attack.

Interestingly, the Oslo accords, designed to destroy Israel, were secretly negotiated in the Nordic area where Securitas is headquartered. (If you recall they were signed in Washington on Sept. 13, 1993, and Clinton forced Arafat and Rabin to shake hands.) According to Israeli journalist Barry Chamish, Yitzhak Rabin was murdered by the NWO because he was beginning to have second thoughts about the Oslo accords (See Chamish's book "Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin" for the real story about who, how and why Rabin was murdered.) He has also published numerous reports on the Internet about how the NWO is trying to take over Jerusalem and destroy Israel through their political machinations through various secret societies. Chamish has had three attempts on his life because of what he has exposed. It would appear that there may be some Scandinavian/NWO connection between the WTC terrorism attack, the Rabin murder, the Oslo accords and the planned destruction of Israel.

As a matter of fact, Chamish was just told this exact thing in Israel. In the last few days he met with the head of Israel's most powerful opposition party, Michael Kleiner of the Herut Movement, along with numerous other party members. Some of them told him that the same people are/were behind the Oslo "peace" process, the Rabin murder and the terrorist attack (see http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=11513).

With respect to Globe Aviation and possible political motivations, I can also personally add that their parent company, Burns International, seems to be sided with the NWO. A friend of mine knows someone who has a small private security firm in a city and county that have seen their governments virtually overtaken by the NWO. This security owner is a very outspoken Christian, publicly speaking out against abortion, etc. and then he suddenly lost four major contracts with large companies. His company was replaced by Burns International in every instance.

It may also be noteworthy that recently Bill Clinton was interviewed on TV at the scene of the WTC disaster. Two people I know saw it, and said that as Clinton finished the interview, he had a visible smirk on his face as though he was pleased with the catastrophe. This terrible calamity upon our great nation has all the earmarks of being masterminded by Clinton's Committee of 300 backers, who have taken advantage of the Arab/Israeli conflict to manipulate the Arabs into igniting WWIII and further destroy America. May God have mercy on our once great nation and open our eyes to the tremendous evil that surrounds us.

I'm not familiar with the Dutch company, but Swedish Securitas AB is one of the largest and most respected security companies in the world (see CorporateInformation.com for more information). In FY2000, Securitas did over 40 billion Euro in sales (about $35 billion). Yes, it's in the same geographical area as Oslo, Norway, but so what? And the Dutch company is headquartered in Holland, and the ICJ is also there, but so what? You need more than the same country or the same geographic region for a conspiracy.

As far as Securitas having performed negligent security, obviously I don't know what happened, but it appears as if they were operating within the realm of what they were asked to do. The attackers used knives, and apparently they were razor blades attached to some piece of plastic. Since personal hygiene kits and swiss army knives had been allowed into airplanes, I don't think Securitas could have stopped any of the weapons from having been smuggled. I think the problem here was that the flight attendants and/or pilots were not properly equipped to deal with hijackings. Some pepper spray would have helped, as would have a solid door between the cockpit and cabin, like in El Al.

Many foreign companies perform various services, including security. As far as the Sikh company in Oklahoma, it would have probably been nearly impossible for any security company to do anything with a street right in front of the building. The Dutch government basically runs Kennedy Airport in NYC.

The WTC was targeted because it represented American might. It was not targeted because of some SEC investigation or for any other reason. They brought down both buildings, and involved around 10 suicidal bombers.

Hillary might not have any love for Barbara Olson, but Barbara's book about the last days of the Clinton presidency is done, and will be printed and made available in bookstores. While she won't be around to promote the book on TV, Hillary won't be able to continue the personal attacks that were used before when people attacked them. On Amazon, Barbara Olson's Hell to Pay has shot back into the top 20, despite the fact that the book had more or less run its course.

The Company that runs Kennedy is a state-owned company in Holland that runs Schipol Airport in Amsterdam. It's probably just partially state-owned now, as many of those things have been privatized. I just thought this conspiracy theory of this guy was a bit far reaching...

Hi, Jed! Wow, lot's of research done here. Thank you.

I thought perhaps Barbara Olson might have been a target, but then just settled that it was a lucky happenstance for hillary.

There are a lot of occult markings on this, Jed.

P.S. Eyewitnesses saw a white UNMARKED plane circling after the plane went down in PA.
One witness I believe said the wings were high up in the back. Any thoughts?

I don't know if this pic has been posted and this probably isn't the thread to do it on, but here goes:

What's with the explosion on the left?

I couldn't tell for sure. But like you mention, maybe it IS that next bldg. that collapsed.

A firefighter who was there said he heard a bomb go off

And I could swear that early on I saw an explosion go off on floors well below the impact point. Haven't seen anything since.

I don't know what kind of plane that might have been. The government finally admits that they had fighter jets scrambled. I've seen that photo; assuming it's untouched, it's probably bombs.

I also noticed that your first post was to this thread, and that Securitas website went down a few hours after I posted this article. Seem to have touched a nerve.

On this thread roughrider posted:

"Clinton had no more domestic attacks like the OKC bombing after he pulled CIA's teeth, if they ever had any, in infiltrating terrorist groups. After OKC, and Clinton forbidding infiltration of the cells, there were NO MORE ATTACKS IN THE DOMESTIC US, but only attacks on US targets abroad. Clinton responded with useless "showtime" cruise missile attacks on unrelated targets. Bubba made a deal with bin Laden to lay off the interior US until after he was out of office. That is what I think happened. In the intervening years, the camel jockeys planned for what they would do once Clinton was gone, and the deal would be over. That is about the time the flight training began, and after five years the plotters were ready, and Bush had been in office only eight months. Reports began to flow in that something big was in the works shortly after Bubba left office. The boys thought they could control it without having to alert the public. Freeh told Congress he had a handle on the cells, and had informants inside. When the boys realized Freeh's well was dry after a couple of months of pumping, he resigned suddenly. The boys kept scrambling, trying to bag one of the camel jockeys in hopes it would deter the others from acting. TOO LATE.

" This is just my opinion, based on the timeline known to this date."

Definitely looks like Clinton and his people had made some kind of deal with the terrorists.
