August, 2001: Israeli Intelligence Officers Travel to Washington to Warn of Impending “Large Scale” Bin Laden Terror Attacks

NB: A new fea­ture is being launched in the “News and Sup­ple­men­tal” Cat­e­go­ry. For some time, “Pter­rafractyl” has been con­tribut­ing very infor­ma­tive com­ments. That con­trib­u­tor will now  be post­ing arti­cles as a guest author in the “Pter­rafractyl’s Nest” [1] sec­tion.

COMMENT: In the bliz­zard of anti-Semit­ic pro­pa­gan­da (cloaked as “anti-Zion­ist” pro­pa­gan­da) cir­cu­lat­ing in the “Truther” milieu [2], the sto­ry below has been total­ly eclipsed. 

In point of fact, the Islamist attack­ers were deeply asso­ci­at­ed with Nazi and fas­cist ele­ments [3], who had motive enough to try and divert pub­lic opin­ion from the facts. The Bush admin­is­tra­tion also had pro­found involve­ment with the ele­ments [4] tar­get­ed by the Oper­a­tion  Green Quest raids of 3/20/2002. Those links to the SAAR net­work [5], plus the numer­ous intel­li­gence fail­ures of which the admin­is­tra­tion was guilty gave Dubya, Grover Norquist and dis­in­for­ma­tion mas­ter Karl Rove abun­dant motive for drag­ging red her­rings [6] across the inves­tiga­tive path­way.

One should note that, in the Bank al-Taqwa [7], the Nazi and Mus­lim Broth­er­hood fas­cists [8] and the Bush/Norquist/Rove milieux over­lap.

Pin­ning blame on “Da Jooz” attacks serves the inter­ests of all guilty par­ties. Indeed, Achmed Huber–a direc­tor of al-Taqwa, pro­tege of Omar Amin (nee Johann) von Leers (Goebbels’ chief anti-Semit­ic pro­pa­gan­dist) and liai­son between Islamists and Euro­pean and Amer­i­can neo-Nazis, float­ed dis­in­for­ma­tion blam­ing the attacks on the “Mossad” [9] short­ly after the attacks.

Huber also indi­cat­ed that ele­ments in the Bush admin­is­tra­tion and oth­er elite Wash­ing­ton cir­cles shared his anti-Semit­ic views and saw the 9/11 attacks as a vehi­cle for increas­ing anti-Israeli pro­pa­gan­da.

“Israeli Secu­ri­ty Issued Urgent Warn­ing to CIA of Large-Scale Ter­ror Attacks” by David Wastell and Philip Jacob­son; The Tele­graph; 9/16/2001. [10]

EXCERPT: The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Cen­tre’s twin tow­ers and the Pen­ta­gon were humil­i­at­ing blows to the intel­li­gence ser­vices, which failed to fore­see them, and to the defence forces of the most pow­er­ful nation in the world, which failed to deflect them.

The Tele­graph has learnt that two senior experts with Mossad, the Israeli mil­i­tary intel­li­gence ser­vice, were sent to Wash­ing­ton in August to alert the CIA and FBI to the exis­tence of a cell of as many of 200 ter­ror­ists said to be prepar­ing a big oper­a­tion.
“They had no spe­cif­ic infor­ma­tion about what was being planned but linked the plot to Osama bin Laden and told the Amer­i­cans that there were strong grounds for sus­pect­ing Iraqi involve­ment,” said a senior Israeli secu­ri­ty offi­cial. . . .

. . . Amer­i­ca’s intel­li­gence agen­cies are being wide­ly blamed for their fail­ure to pre­dict the attacks, or any­thing like them, and for not dis­cov­er­ing any of the ter­ror­ist cells before the hijack­ings on Tues­day. Some of those who took part had lived in the US for months, or even years.

Evi­dence that a clear Israeli warn­ing was deliv­ered to Amer­i­can author­i­ties, but ignored, would be a fur­ther blow to the rep­u­ta­tion of the CIA, which is under fire for its fail­ure last week.

An admin­is­tra­tion offi­cial in Wash­ing­ton said: “If this is true then the refusal to take it seri­ous­ly will mean heads will roll. It is quite cred­i­ble that the CIA might not heed a Mossad warn­ing: it has a his­to­ry of being over­cau­tious about Israeli infor­ma­tion.” . . .
