POTENTIAL “PERSONS OF INTEREST”
Any attempt to definitively name “the” mastermind of these atrocities is destined to fail without an investigation with the authority to probe and document the whereabouts, alibis and investments of many specific individuals, and the books of several organizations. What this chapter hopes to accomplish is to state that if one begins to look for specific individuals, one might start with a list such as this. The investigative effort of this article focuses on two crimes.
• The first crime would be the putting the attack of the World Trade Center in motion. This crime includes hiring those in the plane, as well as those who placed the explosives. For this, the focus will be on the German banking world, and later Israeli businessmen and government agents.
• The second crime is allowing the previous crimes to happen. For this, the search for suspects is in the White House (and it does not include President Bush Jr.)
To focus on seeking out those responsible for a cover-up is to distract the world from the real crimes: the theft of the wealth of nations for personal use, and the murder of thousands of people for personal gain.
With the not too distant history of German banking involvement with the Third Reich, it may be tempting for some to jump to the conclusion that these bankers are somehow connected to the rumored return of that regime. Nothing could be further from the truth. The history of German Banking – if not international banking – suggests that while a few bankers may succumb to the political winds of the time, they generally remain “adaptive” and learn to coexist with the current regime. Two recent studies support this conclusion:
"They (German bank elite) built strong relationships over a period of ten, twenty and even thirty years. They often shared similar convictions on issues such as class, business, and the importance of U.S.-German economic ties. In many cases, they shared business partnerships and investments as well. This does not mean that they had a single point of view concerning Hitler, either before or after the Nazis' climb to power in 1930-33. Contrary to the popular myths concerning the Dulles brothers, for example, Allen Dulles was a relatively early advocate of U.S. backing for the British in their showdown with Germany, while John Foster Dulles remained considerably more tolerant of Nazism. Others were prominent Jews who were destined to be dispossessed by the Nazis. Banker Eric Warburg was forced to sell off most of his German properties in the early 1930s, but he returned for the reconstruction after 1945. Some members of the elite did become creatures of Hitler, however, such as Dresdner Bank's Karl Lindemann, who was characterized as a "rabid Nazi" by one of the bank's senior executives. Despite their differences, these U.S.-German "reference groups" or "linkage groups," as they became known to sociologists, shared common convictions that were to them far more fundamental: the central importance of maintaining the viability of capitalism as a national and world economic system, and the key role of U.S. and German productive capacity and markets within that effort. Measured against these more basic values, the Nazis and their whole brutal apparatus were seen by much of the elite as transitory, at least during the 1920s and 1930s. From the standpoint of corporate ideology, this elite saw itself as a new generation of the so-called managerial revolution; they considered themselves to be "forward thinking" and unencumbered by the stuffy formalism of earlier times." [Christopher Simpson, The Splendid Blond Beast, Common Courage Press, 1995]
"Right from the start, the NSDAP ideology was hostile to the financial sector. Financial capital, according to Nazi ideology, was more profit-earning than working capital, was disembedded from its national context and was in the service of Jewish interests. In his 1925 published pamphlet "Mein Kampf", Hitler (1925/1999: 213) wrote, "the hardest battle would have to be fought, not against hostile nations, but against international capital" which was "robbing the enterprises" (ibid: 314). Thus the strong continuity of the bank's entanglement with industrial corporations over the Nazi period and beyond was not a forgone conclusion. The relationship between different groups of industry and the NSDAP is the subject of numerous controversial debates… but there seems to be a consensus that "Hitler's assistants" were located more in the heavy-industry sector – the political commitment of Fritz Thyssen is a well-known example of this – than in the financial sector …..
Nazi elite failed to make an extensive reform of the banking sector their top priority. The cartel-like banking system and the banks' ties with industrial corporations were not dissolved….the "Schutzstaffel" (SS) agitated against banks as rent seekers of the war and demanded the nationalization of the large banks. Again, the banks’ influence over industrial companies was a main point of criticism (James 1995: 390-395). Hitler refused such demands, arguing that National Socialists should not assume any responsibility towards banks……By and large, the company network remained stable in the years of the Nazi dictatorship." [Martin Höpner and Lothar Krempel, MPIfG Working Paper 03/9, The Politics of the German Company Network, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, September 2003]
The three largest German banks of Deutsche Bank, Dresdner and Commerzbank did indeed control most of industrial Germany, but that did not by default make their management Nazi’s. Sparing them the indignity of that accusation however, should not be construed as exoneration. These banks – especially the Deutsche Bank – seem to have a consistent reputation for being involved with organized crime, and they seem to deal with virtually any organized criminal element one can name. Moreover, it is fair to observe that more than one of these gentlemen has the potential to be linked to a German version of ‘Manifest Destiny’. Some of these gentlemen have lineages that are hundreds of years old, with a familial legacy of conquest and imperialism to live up to. Such men might easily subscribe to a German version of the New World Order.
Accountability for corporate institutions can best be attributed to the Board of Directors. That being said, it would be inappropriate to claim that every – or even the majority of - Board member of Dresdner, Deutsche Bank and Allianz is responsible for the actions of a few rogues. The key issue is going to be: how few and how powerful are these rogue bankers. Candidates for this infamous distinction should include:
§ Dr. Diethart Breipohl. Former CFO of Allianz, this Board member of Allianz has probably served on more boards throughout Europe than any other board member from this group. This individual is clearly a ‘power.’ A
partial list of his leverage is as follows:
• prior to 12/1999 member of the executive committee of the alliance AG
• prior to 12/1999 member of the supervisory board of the RWE AG
• Member of the supervisory board of the alliance AG (2000)
• Member of the supervisory board of the Rheinelektra AG (today: Lahmeyer AG)
• Member of the supervisory board of the Beiersdorf Co. AG
• Member of the supervisory board of the Continental AG
• Member of the supervisory board of the Grundig AG
• Member of the supervisory board of the metal company AG
• Member of the supervisory board of the Bavarian Hypo and association bank
• Mostly it is his involvement in Multigroup that puts his name on a list of suspects.
Six Board Members – or former members - of the Deutsche Bank being investigated for approving tax evasion (also known as money laundering) activities should also be included as prime suspects. These gentlemen have all apparently demonstrated a willingness to allow illegal activity.
"Investigators claim the bank helped clients transfer money anonymously to Switzerland and Luxembourg with the knowledge of these board members. Frankfurt's chief prosecutor, Job Tilmann, said they suspect Deutsche Bank employees not only "systematically" aided customers in such transfers, but also that Breuer and other executives were aware of the practice. "This is not about a few individual cases," Tilmann said. "The number of instances in question is so large that we're led to believe it has been part of a more widespread practice." [Deutsche Bank’s chairman faces probe into tax evasion charges,” Vanessa Fuhrmans, Financial Express, 6/18/1999]
§ Rolf Breuer, Deutsche Bank AG Chairman;
§ Carl von Boehm-Bezing, Deutsche Bank Board Member;
§ Juergen Krumnow, Deutsche Bank Board Member;
§ Tessen von Heydebreck, Deutsche Bank Board Member. A descendent of William the Conqueror;
§ Ulrich Weiss, former Deutsche Bank Board Member; and
§ Georg Krupp, former Deutsche Bank Board Member.
These eight men would not constitute the entirety of the cartel, but it does represent a list of German financial executives with questionable activities of a money laundering nature in their background.
Someone in the Whitehouse was involved in the orchestration of activity of the WTC attackers. It was not President Bush, but rather someone trying to assassinate him. This is the primary reason that this report finds President Bush and his staff not responsible for the attack, but certainly for the ensuing cover-up.
In the days prior to September 11, another crime was planned that would have fundamentally changed the response to the attack on the World Trade Center. That crime was the planned assassination of George W. Bush Jr. The pre-scripted response of the Secret Service to this type of claim would be that the President is always a primary target, which is undoubtedly true. However, in the days leading up to the attack on the World Trade Center, there were a series of clues suggesting an assassination was planned, by someone with inside knowledge of the President’s routine. Four assassination scenarios were planned by someone with inside knowledge – all four failed. These scenarios are intrinsically linked to the attack of the World Trade Center: same people, same techniques, and same objectives. These scenarios do not fit with a conspiracy theory that suggests President Bush was responsible the attacks. They do suggest however, that someone with inside knowledge was responsible.
For some reason, after all the warnings from foreign and domestic intelligence agencies during the summer of 2001, President Bush decided to place “special” protection around his Texas ranch in the month prior to 9-11.
"Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney said she was disturbed about the implications that "24-hour fighter cover was placed over the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas" during his vacation there from August 4-30, 2001." [Counterpunch, 9/18/02]
It’s fair to state this is not normal procedure, because this type of protection was not in play over Washington D.C., which we know to be the case, for no other reason than the fact that the Pentagon, a few miles from the Whitehouse, was hit on September 11. It is then important to ask – what changed for the President? Why the additional protection? Was the President warned he would be the target of an air attack?
Thinking about this further, the coverage was started the very day of his vacation, indicating the knowledge of the attack was received prior to that time. Which mean that the attack was planned, and discovered by intelligence agencies, prior to August 4th. This then would mean that someone would have to know when and where the President was planning vacation. Also, because the attack did not occur as warned, it might be fair to surmise that the attackers were forewarned of the defensive measures taken.
Scenario 2 occurred the morning of September 11, at 6:00 AM to be specific, the hotel at Which President Bush was staying, in Sarasota, Florida. As reported in the local press, the President received a visit from a “news crew.”
"At about the same time Bush was getting ready for his jog, a van carrying several Middle Eastern men pulled up to the Colony's guard station. The men said they were a television news crew with a scheduled "poolside" interview with the president. They asked for a certain Secret Service agent by name. The message was relayed to a Secret Service agent inside the resort, who hadn't heard of the agent mentioned or of plans for an interview. He told the men to contact the president's public relations office in Washington, DC, and had the van turned away." [Possible Longboat terrorist incident Is it a clue or is it a coincidence? By Shay Sullivan, City Editor, The Longboat Observer, 9/26/2001]
The more than fascinating aspect of this forgotten news is found in another event on the other side of the world, just two days prior. Ahmed Shah Massoud, leader of the Afghani resistance against the invading Soviets during the 1980s and then against the repressive Taliban regime that sheltered bin Laden, was assassinated by a suicide squad of two Tunisian operatives posing as journalists, using a bomb inside a video camera during an interview at his headquarters. Given the coincidence, one must assume the intent of the Florida news journalists was comparable to that of Tunisian journalists that assassinated Massoud.
Scenario 3 was scheduled as a back-up plan. President Bush is a regular jogger. What is not widely known, but is certainly commonly known amongst his staff, is that the President loves to jog on the beach, with about a four mile jog. A couple of miles up the beach from the Colony Resort, (and 4.28 miles by road) is the Holiday Inn, which was checked into by none other than Mohamed Atta – the accused organizer of the September 11 attack.
"Just three nights before President George W Bush arrived at the swank Colony Resort on Longboat Key on the evening of Sept 10, 2001, Mohamed Atta was staying at a slightly-less tony hotel just two miles down the beach, the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites—Longboat Key, according to eyewitnesses who contacted the FBI in the immediate aftermath of the attack." [Bush and Atta Visit Same Resort in the Hours Leading to 9-11, Daniel Hopsicker, Venice, FL, 7/29/2002]
While publicly written off to coincidence by the FBI, under scrutiny this event seems more than coincidental. The location of the hotel on the same beach would have been perfect for sniper or suicide assassination while the President was reaching the half-way mark of his normal jog.
The timing of Atta’s check-in is not a coincidence either. The scheduling for the tour of schools that the President was taking was deliberately left open. “Potential’ schools on the tour were not identified until August 28, and not selected until possibly September 6th. Because the date of each school’s visit was not disclosed, Atta would need to be in place at one of the schools starting the 7th.
"On August 28, 2001 we got the news that Emma Booker had finished the preliminary offerings for the Presidential visit. We knew that we were on the list for a visit, and the final selection would be in a week. We were informed that we would not know the exact date because of security reasons. We were advised to "keep the news close to home."[Kathy Williams, EEB Classroom Teacher, www.sarasota.k12.fl.us/emma/9.11.01/essay.williams.html]
His visit to Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, on September 11, 2001 had been in the planning stages since August but was only publicly announced on the morning of September 7, the same day that Atta checked into the hotel. For Atta to know the cities on the tour, much less the hotel being stayed at, and the start date, would definitely require insider knowledge.
Ignoring probabilities, there are over 150 hotels in Sarasota, with possibly five that have a location on the beach where President Bush would probably take his morning jog. Atta would have had to have known, in advance, where the President was staying. He also would have needed advance knowledge of the President’s visit to arrange travel to arrive in Sarasota on the 7th and meet a co-conspirator. He would also have needed to know the President’s itinerary for the day, to have ‘coincidentally’ sent a faux news team at 6:00 AM, precisely the time the president was waking. There is too much insight into the closely guarded plans and schedule of the President to claim all this is coincidence.
· Coincidence that having previously resided in Sarasota, Atta did not stay with friends.
· Coincidence Atta was on the same beach as the President.
· Coincidence Atta was on the President’s probable jogging course.
· Coincidence that the Presidential morning routine coincided with the news team visit.
· Coincidence that the timing of Atta’s arrival in Sarasota was optimal to cover the President’s just announced tour schedule.
The Secret Service was aware of an active plot to assassinate the president, and were taking extra precautions.
• It is public record that the Secret Service set up surface-to air missile defense on the roof of the hotel, which is not by any means a normal practice for a presidential visit.
• They dissuaded President Bush from jogging on the beach, as was his intent – instead taking him to a more secure golf club.
• Once the attack on the World Trade Center had occurred and the scope of the attack was apparent, the President was swept away by the Secret Service. They were is such fear, they boarded Airforce One and took off with out protection.
"But, incredibly, Air Force One took off without any military fighter protection. This defies all explanation. Recall that at 9:03 a.m., one of Bush's security people said, "We're out of here. Can you get everyone ready?" [Sarasota Herald-Tribune, 9/10/02] Certainly, long before Bush left the elementary school at 9:35 a.m., arrangements would have been made to get fighters to Sarasota."
During this flight, the President received a message that indicated that he would be a target. This information is provided by the Whitehouse - that there may have been a plan to assassinate the president – but no subsequent information about this threat has ever been released.
"White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said there was "real and credible information that the White House and Air Force One were targets." [White House, 9/12/01] On September 13, New York Times columnist William Safire wrote - and Bush's political strategist Karl Rove confirmed - that there was an "inside" threat that "may have broken the secret codes (showing a knowledge of presidential procedures)." [New York Times, 9/13/01]
"In the New York Times on September 13, entitled “Inside the Bunker,” Safire described a conversation with an unnamed “high White House official,” who told him, “A threatening message received by the Secret Service was relayed to the agents with the president that ‘Air Force One is next.’” Safire continued: “According to the high official, American code words were used showing a knowledge of procedures that made the threat credible.” Safire reported that this information was confirmed by Rove, who told him Bush had wanted to return to Washington but the Secret Service “informed him that the threat contained language that was evidence that the terrorists had knowledge of his procedures and whereabouts.”
All four of these scenarios point to an insider’s attempt to assassinate the President. If it is accepted that the attacks of September 11 were conducted under the watchful eye and planning of elements of the Israeli Mossad, it should be fair to assume that the Whitehouse insider has connections to the Mossad.
Unfortunately, these suspects are plentiful, and have been previously identified in this article:
"Perle and Wolfowitz- have a well documented (both Congressional and FBI investigations) past of being known agents for the Israeli government, and have been directly responsible for the employment by US Policy making groups (Office of Special Plans OSP) of at least four other well demonstrated agents of Israel: Douglas J. Feith (Undersecretary of Defense for Policy), Lawrence Franklin (currently under investigation by the FBI as being as Israeli spy), Michael Ledeen and Dr. Stephen Bryen. Lawrence Franklin works in an office overseen by Douglas J. Feith, the Defense undersecretary for policy. Feith is an influential aide to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Also included in this list is Dr. Rabbi Dov Zakheim, who at the time was acting as chief-financial officer for the Department of Defense."
Many – if not all - of these men were in position to have the inside information required to execute these threats. As employees of the Defense Department, all one of them had to do was watch the schedule and movements of the Secret Service surface-to-air missile launcher, and they would know the whereabouts and plans of the President.
This group already had won the hearts and minds of Cheney and Rumsfeld. The President had not yet bought into their rhetoric, and had his own agenda. By eliminating President Bush, this group would have moved forward with their own plans more expeditiously under the Presidency of Cheney.
Claiming that one of these Whitehouse advisors had less than honorable intentions may be characterized by some as being ‘without foundation and unwarranted’, but in 2004, it became a matter of public record that the FBI also believed there was an Israeli mole working at the highest levels of the US Government.
"The FBI believes Israel has a spy at the very highest level of the Pentagon who may have sought to influence U.S. policy on Iran and Iraq CBS News reported on Friday. …"The FBI has a full-fledged espionage investigation under way and is about to ... roll up someone agents believe has been spying, not for an enemy, but for Israel, from within the office of the secretary of defense (Donald Rumsfeld)," the network reported." [FBI Suspects Israel Has Mole in Pentagon, Reuters, 8/27/2004]
The suspects that concocted and executed these crimes begin to emerge in the murky world of the Israeli Mossad. The primary candidate of suspicion is Meir Dagan, the current head of the Israeli Mossad. Since Dagan’s ascent in 2002 to head of the Mossad, over 200 agents, including seven section heads, have left the agency. These ‘early retirements’ are generally attributed to a concern and disagreement over his priorities and methods. Dagan’s experience puts him in a central position for suspicion in all of the charges, ranging from directly or indirectly ordering the brutal execution of American and other hostages in Iraq, to the planning and execution of the attack on the World Trade Center.
Meir Dagan, son of a Russian immigrant, started his military career in the late 1970’s, running the Sayeret Rimon. Sayeret Rimon was the first of its kind - a special forces unit which became the first “Mistaravim type unit.” Mistaravim, in Hebrew, means to ‘disguise as an Arab.’ During his eighteen months of running this unit, he deployed a host of innovative techniques for the Israeli Special Forces:
§ Hiring Palestinians as point men. He would use special persuasion to convince convicted and imprisoned Palestinian felons to act as fronts for his units;
§ capturing Palestinian freedom fighters, he would simply execute a number of them with a bullet to the head;
§ failing an ability to capture his targets, he would have them assassinated, quite often by car bombing; and then
§ Attributing his attacks and car bombing to other fictitious groups.
After the first Invasion of Iraq by the US, Dagan was tasked with building the Mossad infrastructure inside of Iraq, using many of the same tactics he deployed while with the Sayeret Rimon. He retired from the military after this assignment, but he designed and built the organization that has executed numerous competitors to the Mossad in Iraq. As the top commander of the Mossad at the time of the executions of Berg, Hensley and Armstrong – if the Mossad is responsible, then he is to be held accountable.
In the late 1990s, Dagan became the Economic and Commerce Representative of Israel to Nigeria. Other than a simple notice of his holding this position, there is nothing in the press about his activities during this time. To understand the importance of his role as a chief architect of Israeli trade in Central Africa during this time, it is important to put this time and place in context. The last fifty years have been a time of great turmoil in Central Africa. Nigeria is considered to be a relatively stable and neutral country. To the west of Nigeria are Liberia and Sierre Leone. To the southeast of Nigeria are the Congo and Angola. All four of these countries were (and still are) subject to continuous internal strife, allowing the most powerful warlord in each country the right to exploit vast mineral deposits such as oil, lumber or “conflict diamonds.”
Conflict diamonds are diamonds used by ‘illegal rebel forces’ to finance their rebellions. They are thought to be mined by individuals or small independent mining companies, taking wealth from land previously assayed by larger diamond firms as barren. These diamonds are then ‘confiscated’ by rebel warlords. The truth of the matter is that at the end of the Cold War, and collapse of the Soviet Union, about $12 billion in rough uncut diamonds from government reserves, originating from Russian mines, disappeared. These stones are most likely now being laundered by trading them to various warlords in exchange for cash, weapons and mineral concessions, primarily crude oil and wood. The legal sales contracts for these raw materials are made at ridiculously low prices, with cash coming across the table and under the table. As a result, there is very little “paper” profit in these trades to be used to develop the economies of those countries. Conveniently, the middlemen placing the stones in the market are also the same agents connecting the warlords with Israeli arms merchants. Technically, it’s illegal to sell “conflict diamonds” in the De Beers dominated market. They do however show up there from time-to-time. However, an alternative channel has opened up within the last decade: Lev Leviev.
Lev Leviev was born in Soviet Uzbekistan, and emigrated to Israel with his father in 1971. After a short career in the diamond industry, being one of the ‘select few 150’ authorized to buy directly from De Beers, he set out to create an alternative diamond supply chain. This personal vision of Leviev’s was conceived – coincidentally - at the end of the Cold War, about the same time the Russian criminals were looking for a way to launder $12 billion in diamonds heisted from the Russian treasury, over the next ten to twenty years. Leviev is considered to be the primary means by which the Russian diamond stockpile is being liquidated. (“Israel Tycoon Lev Leviev”, Paul Westman, 9/11/2003.) Leviev also has been reported to own a very significant share of a shipping company that illegally broke its lease with the World Trade Center and moved out seven days before the attack on September 11, 2001. [www.freerepublic.com/focus/news] That company would be Zim-American Israel Navigation, which is largely owned by the Israel Corporation (i.e., the government of Israel). The second largest investor in the Israel Corp. is Leumi Bank (about 20%). Leumi Bank has about four major investments, one of which is in Lev Leviev’s major companies. Less than a year after the attack, one of their ships would be impounded for attempting to ship Israeli manufactured weapons to Iran. It has not been confirmed that Lev owns a significant portion of Zim, but he is surely well connected to it. Lev Leviev is an extremely lucky man. He is also extremely generous in his charitable contributions, and as a result, extremely well connected across the globe.
Diamond laundering would have to be a bit more difficult than selling gold, because there are not a lot of places that can be described as sources of diamonds. The ‘deal’ would probably go like this: the stones stolen from Russia are laundered into the market in exchange for contracts for legal raw materials (oil and wood). They surface on the market as blood diamonds or conflict diamonds, supposedly mined in alluvial fields and small mines throughout Africa – even though prior investigation by De Beers had found these locations barren. Leviev’s supply chain is able to re-absorb the uncut stones into any of Leviev’s twelve cutting factories, and sell them on the open market. This supply chain completely bypasses the De Beers mechanisms and controls put in place which would identify the sources of these illegal “conflict diamonds.” According to a UN Security Report, this is the Israeli “fix:”
"In all three cases (the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola and Sierre Leone), the pattern is the same. Conflict diamonds are exchanged for money, weapons and military training. These diamonds are then transported to Tel Aviv by former Israeli Air Force Pilots….In Israel, these diamonds are then cut and sold at the Ramat Gan Diamond Centre…."[Liberian Orbit, 10/1/2001]
Feeding this Central African blood frenzy are numerous private military companies (PMC’s- agents formerly referred to as mercenaries) and arms merchants. A majority of these arms merchants and PMC’s involved in selling weapons, aircraft and military training to both sides of third world civil wars and warlords are Israeli. On this list are:
§ Victor Bout (Russian/Tajikistan born, started business in Afghanistan, became an Israeli citizen), who had extensive dealings selling armaments and weapons to the Taliban.
§ Israeli Arcadi Gaydamak, whose key partner at one time was Alimjar Tokhtakhounov – a leading member of the Russian mafia.
§ former Mossad agents Danny Yatom and Avi Dagan (more small world), who created the PMC Strategic Consulting Group;
§ Moshe Levy, owner of the Lordan-Levdan, a PMC working in the Congo;
§ Zeev Zachrin, former Brigadier general in Israel;
§ Dan Gertler, owner of the Israeli firm International Diamond Industries, who has been connected with diamond purchases in exchange for weapons and training in Liberia, Sierre Leone and the Congo, working with Yair Klein
§ former Israeli Col. Yair Klein (imprisoned in Sierre Leone) who has been widely reported to have provided weapons and training to Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Colombian drug cartels and Al Qaeda ; and
§ Simon Yelnik, Israeli arms dealer and former director of security for Zaire’s dictator Mobutu Sese Seko;
§ Ori Zoller, Israeli arms dealer, citizen and representative of Israeli Military Industries, as well as former member of the Israeli Special Forces and intelligence.
These are just some of the people who have profited from the theft of Russian gold, diamonds and weaponry.
At the same time these types of trades were occurring, supposed Al Qaeda agents were accused of trading weapons for diamonds to rebel groups in Central Africa. Of the six alleged Al Qaeda members known to have been involved in these trades, one of them - Pakistani Asfia Siddiqui, and the only prominent female figure in Al Qaeda in this investigation – was considered by US intelligence to be a “fixer” for the Al Qaeda operatives in the US. [“Al Qaeda bought diamonds before 9/11”, AP, 6/28/2004]. She was part of an operation that bought weapons from Bulgarian arms distributor: Nataco Holding PLC, and moved them into Liberia. Part of that shipment included 10 million rounds of ammunition from - guess who!
Also linked to this purported Al Qaeda connection is Aziz Nassour, a Lebanese organized crime figure reported to have sold diamonds to Al Qaeda. His associate for this deal - named Samih Ossaily - is his cousin, another Lebanese underworld figure. Their deal, supposedly on behalf of Al Qaeda, was to bring in arms to Liberia using a Moscow based air cargo company named Aviatrend. However, both Aziz Ossaily have a prior track record of dealing of behalf of the Mossad, working with Ori Zoller and Simon Yelnik. On prior deals, Nassour’s buyers have been arrested shortly after their dealing with Nassour, while he remains free. These buyers were reported to be Hezbollah and AMAL representatives, traditional enemies of Israel.
Was Asfia Siddiqui really an Al Qaeda member? In the US, what the world knows of Asfia was that she was originally from Pakistan, an active – yet seemingly peaceful -advocate of the Muslim religion, an MIT neurophysiologist, lived in Boston, was married and had three children, and was abandoned by her husband. Her lawyer and family claim they have proof that she was in the US when she is reported to have been in Central Africa. Her parents and lawyer claim she is a victim of identity theft, as were twelve of the individuals accused of being 9-11 hijackers. Unfortunately, she and her children have disappeared. The questions that need to be asked to make sense of this scenario include:
§ Was the real Asfia’s identity stolen by the Mossad, as were the identities of many of the 9-11 hijackers?
§ Were Nassour and Ossailly tools of the Mossad, being used by the Mossad to infiltrate the Lebanese Hezbollah?
§ Was the entire diamond for weapons operation an attempt by the Mossad to establish credibility for their undercover agents, which would enable them to infiltrate the Lebanese underworld and their many links to Hezbollah?
§ Was Asfia’s identity stolen by a Mossad agent to manage an ‘Al Qaeda/Mossad’ cell in Boston, from which two planes in the WTC attack originated?
§ Is it coincidence that Al Qaeda members are reported to ‘appear’ in Central Africa at the same time that Meir Dagan, the master of “Mistaravim” appears in Nigeria?
The preponderance of information seems to suggest that the Central African “Al Qaeda” link is a Mossad, false flag operation. As noted in a recent report:
"Strategically, Al Qaida diamond trade would be impossible without Israeli intelligence complicity….For the Sharon government, the de facto financial support of Al Qaida terror around the world, as well as Hezbollah, serves Sharon’s long-term strategy of detonating a clash of civilizations between the West and all Islam." [The Politics of Three, Paul W Rasche]
Three additional arguments support this view: 1) Conservative Muslims do not take orders from women, but it is common in the Israeli armed forces; 2) Israelis are strongly motivated to “sell” to both sides of a civil war, allowing them insight into Muslim rebellions in Central Africa; and 3) the US government states that it could never prove that the actual Al Qaeda profited from conflict diamonds, and quickly dropped the investigation. (Note: this would be a fifth US investigation mentioned in this report which was stopped when it bumps into Israeli ‘players.’) This operation included the same assortment of the dark side of the Mossad: Russian Mafiya figures, Israeli secret service, and East European weapons manufacturers and distributors. This time however, there are phone records that link these false Al Qaeda elements in Africa to managing supposed Al Qaeda terrorists in Boston – a source of the attack on the World Trade Center.
No review of the participants in this tragedy can be complete without a commentary on the activities in southern Florida which played a significant role in the attack on the World Trade Center. At least fourteen of the hijackers were reported to have ‘studied’ in one or more of the following flight schools in southern Florida:

What these four schools (Schreier was involved in two schools, the first of which went bankrupt within two months of Atta’s arrival) had in common was:
§ Recent change in ownership;
§ New ownership/management by nationals from Northern Europe;
§ High percentage of Arabic nationality students;
§ All three owner/managers had a personal relationship with Mohammed Atta;
§ All spoke German; and
§ All three were acquaintances.
"It appears that Schreier, Hilliard and Dekkers were also in business together. "Later, we learned that the new owners of Huffman Aviation were from the largest flight school in the Netherlands, which used to train up in Lakeland, Florida. It was near Rotterdam, the city from which Arne Kruithof hailed. Pascal Schreier was also apparently involved with Wally and Rudi’s failed aviation ventures. The true name of their flop airline, which flew as Florida Air, was Sunrise Airlines. And Pascal Schreier owned a company called Florida Sunrise with an address at the Venice Airport. It was too close for coincidence." [Welcome to Terrorland: Mohammed Atta and the 9-11 Cover-Up in Florida, Daniel Hopsicker, 2004]
An analysis of the schools and people who owned and managed them suggests the whole process of preparing the Arabic hijackers was controlled at two levels: one which would create and feed the pipeline of terrorists into the US, and another that ensured that the Arab recruits would execute the given task of attacking the World Trade Center.
Huffman
The Huffman Flight School garners the most media attention, for at least three reasons. First, it was the primary training school for Mohammed Atta and four of his reported ‘cell member’ colleagues from Hamburg. Second, it is also known that recruiting for the school was actively conducted by Yeslam Bin Laden, brother of Osama Bin Laden. Third, the school has an intriguing story behind its ownership. Actual financial ownership of the school has not been thoroughly documented, but the consensus appears to be that it was under the ownership of Oryx Investments, an investment holding company formed in Dubai by Adnan Khashoggi, Sheik Kamal Adham, director of Saudi intelligence (1963-79), and Wallace J. Hilliard.
Wally Hilliard is a semi-retired insurance entrepreneur/multi-millionaire, and many observers – including the FBI – view him as an innocent victim in his connections to the terrorists. Unfortunately, while Wally Hilliard continues to claim he was duped, many of his business partners have well documented links to the intelligence and criminal underworlds. He also appears to have political friends that might ensure his protection from any prosecution. Wally made his first fortune by selling an insurance company - Employers Health -that he had co-founded in Green Bay. That company was sought for purchase by the Fireman’s Fund Insurance, who’s Chairman was Myron Du Bain. Myron, it seems, was a close associate of John McCone (former CIA Director), and they held simultaneous seats on the boards of several major financial institutions, including the United California Bank. It is fair to speculate that Myron is responsible for introducing Wally to the fast paced world of weapons merchants and drug smugglers. Wally is reported in the Florida press to have been the owner of a Lear jet that was seized in Florida with 45 pounds of heroin on it, but his involvement in that crime was cleared by the DEA and FBI. He is also reported to be an avid flyer, and to have purchased between 30 and 40 jets in Florida. Evidently, these were required for creating an airline that would service the Caribbean, and his newly emerging business interests in Cuba. Significantly, he and his investment partner in Oryx, Adnan Khashoggi, have spent several years attempting to establish businesses in Cuba, and open a casino on a small island in the Caribbean. It is worth noting that on a number of these planes, he was a business partner with Mark Shubin. Shubin’s father was a KGB Colonel who was imprisoned in Russia after being caught spying for the US. Mark’s father and family were allowed to leave Russia as part of the Gary Powers (U2 Spy Plane incident) spy-for-spy trade. Mark Shubin later went on to work for the CIA as a pilot. [Welcome to Terrorland: Mohammed Atta and the 9-11 Cover-Up in Florida, Daniel Hopsicker, 2004, pp 262-264]
Hilliard’s involvement in airline building, with his airplanes being used by terrorists and drug smugglers, has put him in relationships with powerful people. His business associate in many of these planes - Mark Shubin – was also involved with Ken Good in several businesses.
"Good had been one of Neil Bush’s cronies in the Silverado Savings and Loan debacle. Kenneth Good was a big part of the Silverado Savings and Loan collapse. He was in business with Neil Bush. In fact, Ken Good had been so clearly a Bush family retainer that it strained credulity to think that Shubin—and Wally Hilliard—now were not similarly connected. In 1983, Neil Bush, President George H.W. Bush’s son, and our current president’s brother, became partners in an oil venture with Ken Good and William Walters, a Denver developer. Two years later, Bush joined the board of Silverado, a Denver S&L to which Walters and Good already owed more than $100 million that was never to see the light of day again. Neil Bush received a $100,000 ‘gift’ from Good, as well as other major financial assistance. Yet he was pressing Silverado’s management—without mentioning these favors—to let Good off the hook on his debts. There was no conflict of interest. It was all just a coincidence." [Welcome to Terrorland: Mohammed Atta and the 9-11 Cover-Up in Florida, Daniel Hopsicker, 2004, pp 264-265]
Wally Hilliard, besides having a reach into the Bush family through Shubin, was also fortunate to have his emerging airlines endorsed by Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, who established her national notoriety as the person who presided over the Florida vote count that resulted in the Presidency of George Bush. Mr. Hilliard: respected, connected, protected and suspected. He may be innocent, but his reported associations link him to the worlds of gambling, drugs, smuggling and financial fraud.
Adnan Khashoggi- is first and foremost one of the world’s elite arms merchants. Referred to as a “notable member of this elite group” he was described in the Small Arms Survey of 2004 with the following words:
"Some brokers with powerful political clout, like Khashoggi, are virtually ‘untouchable’ insofar as their relationships and dealings involving government officials at the highest echelons go. Any persecution of these brokers, or denunciation of their activities as illicit, could result in the incrimination of states, or the exposure of embarrassing covert activities by the governments themselves." [Small Arms Survey, Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland, 2004]
Gaining notoriety by being at the heart of the Iran-Contra ‘guns for drugs scandal’ during the Reagan administration, Khashoggi has since leveraged his notoriety to the point where he is a familiar face with film and rock stars, presidents, sultans, sheiks, kings and queens, investment bankers and of course, war lords. While most famous for his connections with the Arab banking community, he is also well established with the Deutsche Bank, most recently continuing his notoriety in the US press by being sued, with Deutsche Bank Securities, for fraudulent manipulation of security prices. In the case of MJK Clearing vs Deutsche Bank Securities, Adnan Khashoggi et al., filed in December 2002, the facts presented suggest that in addition to misrepresentation by the defendants, an ‘unanticipated drop in stock prices’ on September 11, 2001 enhanced their ability to increase the payout of the purported fraud. (Business Week, May 2003.)
As part of the ever increasingly tangled web of relationships, Khashoggi also had ties not only to the Deutsche Bank, but the Bronfman family as well (additional key investors in Barrick) by way of another Deutsche Bank executive: Mayo Shattuck.
"Khashoggi, a trusted adviser to the Saudi royal family, is one of the "high net worth individuals" whose past investments have been handled by Mayo Shattuck, formerly head of Alex. Brown (mentioned earlier). ". In 1997, Mayo Shattuck was made Trustee of the Bronfman (mentioned earlier) family fortune. He resigned as CEO of Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown on 12 September 2001, the day following the tragic events in New York City and Washington, DC--the day that has come to be known as "9-11".[ Nexus Magazine, Volume 10, Number 6 (October-November 2003), David G. Guyatt ]
If for no other reason, he is of interest due to his relationship with Yasem Bin Laden, a known business partner of his on a limited number of investments. In this case, Yasem admits to have recruited young Arabs from across the world for Huffman Aviation, a school owned by his former and ongoing business partner, Adnan Khashoggi.
Sheik Kamal Adham The last and least mentioned investor in Oryx was Sheik Kamal Adham , director of Saudi intelligence (1963-79), brother-in-law of King Faisal and the CIA's key liaison in the Arab world, a relationship established with George HW Bush when he was Director of the CIA.
"In the 1980s, the Sheik Kamal Adham and Abdul Khalil (Adham's successor as Saudi intelligence director), became officers of BCCI, and were implicated in a hostile bid for FIB, and became embroiled in the BCCI bank scandal. In a related venture, Majority shares in Capcom, a BCCI subsidiary, were held by Adham and Khalil. Capcom activities included money laundering and drug trafficking. Adham was eventually prosecuted for fraud in the BCCI case and paid a $100 million fine." [Saudi Entrepeneur Adnan Khashoggi Linked to 911 Terrorists, Alex Constantine]
Also of interest is the report that two of the 19 reported hijackers were actually from Saudi Intelligence:
"Two of the hijackers—part of the team that flew a plane into the Pentagon—had very visible connections to Saudi intelligence and the CIA. Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar were well known to the CIA and FBI. The claim that an FBI informant in San Diego who knew the men and assisted them but never mentioned any of this to his FBI handlers has another, darker explanation. A former CIA officer who worked in Saudi Arabia described what he says happened: "We had been unable to penetrate al-Qaeda. The Saudi's claimed that they had done it successfully. Both al-Hazimi and al-Mihdhar were Saudi agents. We thought they had been screened. It turned out the man responsible for recruiting them had been loyal to Osama bin Laden. The truth is bin Laden himself was a Saudi agent at one time. He successfully penetrated Saudi intelligence and created his own operation inside. The CIA relied on the Saudis vetting their own agents. It was a huge mistake. The reason the FBI was not given any information about either man is because they were Saudi assets operating with CIA knowledge in the United States." [The Real Intelligence Cover-Up: America's Unholy Alliance, Joe Trento's Column, 8/6/2003 ]
It is possible that like the Israelis, the Saudis’ with interest in global gold movements decided to place two of their own team with the hijackers to ensure success of the mission.
Needless to say, if one had to find the type of criminals necessary to provide the Arabic hijackers which would create the appearance of an Arabic terrorist operation, these latter two gentlemen were and are the right men to bring to the task. Finding willing terrorists, however, was probably the easier part of this operation. After all, there are reported to be thousands of these ‘terrorists’ just looking for the opportunity to strike at America. The more difficult part of this operation would be to manage and steer these terrorists, which would be the task of Mohammed Atta and his friends from northern Europe. Here is where the proclivity for being two-sided was required of a perennial middle-man. Adnan Khashoggi was that middle-man with a reputation of dealing with anyone and everyone, and being able to misrepresent the total picture . Khashoggi’s relationship with Richard Perle is well documented. Adnan would have no difficulty on one hand, encouraging his friend and partner Yeslamm Bin Laden, to find recruits for this mission. On the other hand, he was probably required to work into the management team of this attack three sayanim: Pascal Schreier, Rudy Dekkers and Arne Kruithof, and one deep cover Mossad agent - Mohammed Atta – who would have been provided to him by the Mossad.
The circumstances and backgrounds of these individuals suggest that while there is no testimony to the fact that these men were agents of the Mossad, they very well could have been.
§ They show up in Florida, all at about the same time and vicinity, and at the same time that Nick Berg was settling in to Norman Oklahoma;
§ They all know each other;
§ They shared the same customer base- primarily Tunisian and Moroccan;
§ They were young, single, and athletic, with names well documented in Europe as Jewish (Arne Kruithof appears to be an exception to the attributes of being single and of Jewish heritage.);
§ Dekkers, while thought to be Dutch, confided to an acquaintance in Florida that he was German, not Dutch. It seems odd that a man who runs an air flight training school knew little about flying – especially with the name “Dekkers.” Dekkers is a relatively famous name in European flight circles, with a number of individuals with that last name having gained respect as experts in the field. It may be fair to surmise that Dekkers was a “created” identity, and he was given that name to lend credibility to his story.
§ One needs to ask: If someone was setting up a pipeline to train Arabic hijackers, why not set-up Arabic individuals as owner-managers? Why risk the potential exposure? Khashoggi had set up numerous organizations and operations with Arabic management across the globe. Why was this different?
With Mohammed Atta, there are a number of circumstantial pieces of information which might lead one to believe Atta is not the person he is generally made out to be. More important, one might be persuaded by the evidence that he could be a deep cover Mossad agent.
§ He was on very friendly, personal terms with the operating management of these training schools – including drugs, loose women and nightlife. The behaviors attributed to him during his stay in Florida are quite inconsistent with the description of him by his friends in Germany.
"I think freedom and the possibility to tell your opinion openly was of great interest for him or it was of big interest for him but all these good of the western world like you told me cars, girls, motor cycles, or things like that, he was not interested in…. he didn't show any fanaticism against America…." [Liz Jackson interviews Volker Hauth, 10/18/2001]
Atta seems to have a history of two personalities.
§ Atta does not fit the profile of a suicide bomber: he is college educated, from a well-to-do family in Egypt, apparently quite wealthy (according to witnesses in Florida); and not a religious fanatic, – as demonstrated by his behaviors in Florida. His friends knew him as a political activist, but not a religious fanatic.
§ In Europe, his modus operandi that is documented by the German Intelligence was a strong anti-Semitic stance. With this factor, one might assume he was sent to Germany to work his way into neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic groups – until his assignment changed;
§ It seems strange to mention there is no evidence that Atta actually died in the attack on the World Trade Center, but the world does not know for sure that Atta died in that attack. There is, of course his bag, left at an airport, and someone using a ticket with his name. There is however, no radio voice recording or security video recording from the plane or Boston, or visual confirmation of the man boarding or on board. His father said the security video picture of “Mohammed Atta” at the Portland airport was not his son. This issue of identity theft has plagued identification of many of the supposed 911 suspects. What the world may have been presented is conveniently planted information which suggests Mohammed Atta died.
§ The bag that has been produced as key evidence is troubling. Atta is the only individual whose bag did not make the plane. He supposedly checked two bags in Portland, so it seems fortuitously and coincidentally odd that one bag was left behind. Two simultaneous coincidences seriously challenge credibility.
§ There is the curious aspect of his last will and testament found in the bag conveniently left behind. Foreign press describe the document as "a cross between a chilling spiritual exhortation aimed at the hijackers and an operational mission checklist." Much has been written about the will, but not in the following context. Atta supposedly wrote it in 1996 and carried it with him for five years. The world is expected to believe that after all this concern and care for his last will and testament, he deliberately took the will with him, knowing it would be destroyed. This is a significant contradiction in behavior that is best explained by a theory that the bag, and will, was planted as evidence, by undiscovered co-conspirators. There might be an official counter to this theory that the bag was a plant, by recognizing that “second copy was found in a car parked outside Boston airport, allegedly rented by Atta.” This however, raises equally disturbing questions which remain unanswered.
1. If Atta flew into Boston on the morning of September 11 as alleged, why did he leave a rental car in the parking lot at the Boston airport – overnight - where it could be discovered in advance, thus jeopardizing the entire operation. Should both pieces of “evidence” (bag and car) be viewed as plants, left by people who wanted the world to believe this was an Arabic, terrorist attack?
2. The FBI- on the basis of security videos - is convinced that on September 4, a white Mitsubishi sedan with Atta was seen “casing” the airport parking lot several times within the space of a few days. On September 10, that car is left at the airport by Atta, who then drives north to Portland, Maine, with another hijacker, and flies back to the airport where he left the car. These would seem to be the activities of an individual planning a get-away, more than anything else. How does one explain the presence of this vehicle: plant or getaway car?
§ The discovered bag also presents a troubling question. The bag supposedly did not get loaded on the plane because it did not arrive within the necessary ten minutes of departure, while the other one did. This means the flight from Portland on which Atta is reported to have arrived, might have landed exceptionally close to departure time of the connecting flight. Is the world expected to believe that after years of planning this attack, the attack leader was willing to risk the mission by planning on a connecting flight being ‘on-time’? (Especially when he was within driving distance of the airport.) This however, was probably not the case, which actually makes the bag story more suspicious. American Airlines Flight 11 left at 7:59 AM, but the FBI maintain Atta was on the phone, in the Boston airport at 6:45 – meaning the bag had well over an hour and fifteen minutes to be transferred. This would throw weight to the argument the bag was a plant, put into play by someone who understood the bag handling process and had access to those portions of the airport. Remember that employees of the Israeli owned firm of Huntleigh USA, managed by former Israeli security forces , had access throughout the airport.
§ Atta’s father, in an interview shortly after the attack, made what seemed to be astounding claims at the time.
"…(he) claimed that his son had called him two days after the attack, and described it as "a normal conversation." …. Asked what country Muhammad had called from, he said, "The name of the country isn't written on the phone." Asked where Muhammad was now, he said, "Ask Mossad." [ Muhammad Atta Sr is in the center of the media storm, Ashraf Khalil]
At this point in time, these claims seem to be more consistent with the facts than those presented by the FBI. One of the people who knew Atta best – his father - claims he was working for the Mossad.
§ Consistent with these claims that Atta might have been a Mossad agent, there is now second theory about Atta developing in the official German circles:
"Suspicion is growing in Hamburg, Germany that Atta maintained ties with Western intelligence agencies while in Technical School, says one former German intelligence official, pointing to Atta's participation in an elite program sponsored by the German equivalent of the Agency for International Development, an arm of the government which often harbors intelligence operatives in the U.S." [Mohamed Atta Connected To Saudi Royal Family? Daniel Hopsicker , 3/11/2002]
"The only information we have connecting the three Hamburg suspects is the FBI's assertion that there is a connection," said a high-ranking (German) police source involved in the investigation…. "We have come across absolutely no evidence of our own."[Los Angeles Times, Carol J. Williams, 10/23/2001 Staff Writer]
§ One might argue that because Atta was the most seasoned “pilot” of the group, his presence on one of the flights leaving Boston was absolutely imperative. This is probably not true. A recent disclosure based on a slow-motion analysis of the plane flying into the South Tower (Building 2) shows that in the last seconds, the plane actually levels out and veers sharply rather than continue its descent, as if it was targeting floor 78. While the analysis concludes it was targeting floor 78, please note that an airliner of that magnitude is several stories in itself, and actually struck several floors simultaneously. According to the residence charts, there were no occupants on floors 77 and 76. These were utility floors that contained a 5,000 gallon water tank for the fire sprinkler system. This link between a plane targeting the a floor with the sprinkler system, and the earlier revelation (pages 48-49) that Sakher 'Rocky' Hammad, with forged identity documents, had been working on the Tower’s sprinkler system along with four other individuals, 6 days before the attack, provide support for another theory as to how a group of such inexperienced pilots could target these buildings with such precision. Access by sprinkler repairmen might have enabled the conspirators to plant a small transmitter which would bring the plane right to the tower. The system of choice for this would have been the CTS (Command Transmitter System) and FTS (Flight Termination System) produced by the System Planning Corporation. This system remotely controls test missiles and drones intended for destruction, and is adaptable to planes, boats and motor vehicles. Some of its key selling points for the testing of missiles, include:
§ " Primary operators can be located up to several hundreds of miles away from the site of …termination
§ Each remote (termination) site can be individually controlled, or all (10) remote sites can be operated from a centralized location
§ The FTS is capable of 20 different zones, allowing simultaneous missions from one CTS" [System Planning Corporation]
As part of another string of remarkable coincidences, a key Vice Presidential Executive of System Planning Corporation is Rabbi Dov Zakheim.
"Who is Rabbi Dov S. Zakheim? Well, first of all he is a Jewish Rabbi, but not just any Jewish Rabbi. For the past three years he has worked as Chief Financial Officer of the United States Dept. of Defense at the Pentagon. Prior to that from 1985 until March 1987, Rabbi . Zakheim was Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Planning and Resources. In that capacity, he played an active role in the Department's system acquisition and strategic planning processes and he guided Department of Defense policy in a number of international economic fora. …Rabbi Zakheim also co-authored the Project for the New American Century's infamous tract, "Rebuilding America's Defenses," in which the Bush Administration's entire design for renewed global conquest was laid down a full year prior to 9-11. Rabbi Zakheim was also Corporate Vice President of System Planning Corporation. "[Ronald Brownstein, Times Staff Writer, 6/13/ 2004]
If the Mossad needed a remote control device for this mission, it had a ready made advocate in Rabbi Zacheim, who co-authored the need for a new “Pearl Harbor” to justify invasions of Iraq, Syria and Iran. If the Mossad needed someone to install the system in the Towers, it had Sergei Dimtry Davidenko – that mathematician that hired the Israelis to fix the water system in the Tower 6 days before the attack.
§ Starting in July, 1992, Atta moved from his parent’s home in Cairo to continue his education and start a new life with a German – reportedly Christian - family in Hamburg. After a year, he reportedly began to develop strong ant-Semitic feelings, and was asked to leave this home. This short period of his life is a mystery. The world has been advised of Atta’s parent’s name, the name of his neighbor in Cairo, as well as the names of his landlords, friends and colleagues in Germany and Florida. All of these people have been interviewed. However, the identity of this family that started him on his new life in Hamburg has been kept secret; a favor not bestowed on any of his other acquaintances. These people spent more time with him than any one else, but their identities are shielded. What inconvenient fact about this family remains to be discovered?
§ A fact curiously missing from the 911 Commission report, but identified by his girlfriend in Florida is that he spoke Hebrew.
§ Also curiously missing from the 911 Commission Report, but reported by Hopsicker, Atta was enrolled as a student at the International Officer’s School of Maxwell Airforce Base, and witnesses recall him having been introduced around at an officers' club party.
§ Finally, his interests seemed to coincide with those of traditional espionage. An email list of his was reported to the FBI by one of the recipients. Upon investigation, it was reported by a recipient of one of his emails, that Atta had a number of email addresses of defense contractors:
"…the email addresses of several of the names on Atta's 'terrorist e-list' appear to have been, or still are, employees of US defense contractors. One name on Atta's email list, for example, apparently worked at a Canadian company called Virtual Prototypes." [The Online Journal, Mohamed Atta Kept Terrorist E-List , Daniel Hopsicker, 4/24/2002]
Virtual Prototypes Inc., would later change its name to eNGENUITY Technologies. It seems as though the type of work done at eNGENUITY was of more interest to the Israeli government, than it might be of use to a group such as Al Qaeda, which has no known space systems.
"Montreal, Canada - August 4, 2004 - eNGENUITY Technologies [TSX: EGY], a leading provider of solutions for the development of high-end visualization and simulation applications, today announced that the System Missile and Space Group of the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) MLM division has purchased multiple licenses of eNGENUITY’s STAGE Scenario toolkit to build training scenarios for IAI’s Air Operations C4I Suite (AOCS), an advanced air space monitoring system."
Virtually all the biographical information about Atta presented by the German and US government, which documents his career as a terrorist may be perfectly accurate. Under consideration of the circumstances, however, one is forced to question whether Atta was actually an Al Qaeda agent or Israeli agent acting in a manner so as to gain the trust of the Arabic groups he was infiltrating. If Atta was a Mossad agent, as his father claimed, many of the anomalies are explained:
· the comments by his father;
· the possible disappearance out a back door at the Boston airport;
· the interest in space technology later acquired b Israel;
· his ability to speak Hebrew;
· his involvement with German intelligence and US military organizations;
· the cover-up of his German host family; and
· his dual personality attested to by his friends on two continents.
The primary investigator of all these activities and relationships has been Daniel Hopsicker, who has been reporting new details on these businesses and their owners for almost three years. Most of his focus has been on demonstrating the extensive involvement of the FBI and CIA in regional drug activities, and the total inadequacy of the 9-11 Commission report on the activities of various “persons of interest” in southern Florida. After all this time, Hopsicker still wonders how to explain all the German, Russian and ex-KGB names and faces he uncovered while investigating this story, most of which remains unreported by him for want of a reason. If one looks for an alternative explanation that suggests heavy Mossad involvement in the Florida flight schools, the link to the ex-KGB and Russian element falls is easily understood.
These are the Israeli Fixers. It completes the chain of death that could run from the Board of Directors of Deutsche and Dresdner, to the Board of Dynamit Nobel, to a Russian mafia/ex-KGB operated arms distributor named Nataco Holding, to Mossad agents in Africa and America posing as Al Qaeda. All this appears to have been orchestrated at the very top of the Mossad by Meir Dagan, and appears to have been enabled by a rumored black market profiteer named Lev Leviev.
