German Intelligence and the 9/11 Conspirators

COMMENT: In past broad­casts, we’ve spo­ken about the pro­found Ger­man links to 9/11, as well as links between “fascist-descended” Euro­pean intel­li­gence ser­vices and the bad intel­li­gence that lured the United States into the inva­sion of Iraq.

 In addi­tion to the role of the fascist-linked SISMI ser­vice of Italy (which gen­er­ated the Niger Yel­low­cake dis­in­for­ma­tion), we’ve exam­ined the BND-nurtured “Curve­ball”–whose priv­i­leged sta­tus and rel­a­tive invi­o­la­bil­ity are fur­ther illus­trated by a Dan­ish TV seg­ment linked at the Ger­many Watch arti­cle linked below.

Worth bear­ing in mind as well is a meet­ing that took place in the Spring of 2002 in Mt. Pel­lerin in Switzer­land, in which promi­nent Euro­pean fas­cists met with Bank al Taqwa’s Achmed Huber and an unnamed Amer­i­can far-right extrem­ist. (This account is car­ried in sev­eral linked posts.)

Given the dam­age that the Iraq war did to the United States at many lev­els, polit­i­cally, eco­nom­i­cally, diplo­mat­i­cally, we have spec­u­lated about the meet­ing and its pos­si­ble con­nec­tions to Iraq War intel­li­gence. We’ve noted in the past that lur­ing the U.S. into Iraq took all the guile of plac­ing a jar of honey in front of a maraud­ing bear.

Long term, the goals of the Under­ground Reich have been advanced by that con­flict. Other posts on Ger­many Watch ana­lyzes the long-term Ger­man strate­gic out­lines for global dom­i­na­tion, as artic­u­lated early in the last cen­tury. Eval­u­ate those goals against the back­ground of the Iraq War. 

Recall that, as dis­cussed in FTR #395, Ger­man intel­li­gence and law enforce­ment had Mohammed Atta’s Ham­burg cell  ujn­der sur­veil­lance by August of 1998, and yet took no action.

A video accessed by Ger­many Watch states that the chief of the Ham­burg police at the time was pro­moted to head of the BND!

Rely­ing on the sem­i­nal work of Daniel Hop­sicker, we saw in FTR #456, among other pro­grams,  that Atta entered the United States cour­tesy of the Carl Duis­berg Gesellschaft, and was asso­ci­ated with Ger­mans, Aus­tri­ans and Swiss in South Florida.

“WMD and Germany’s Dirty Secret”; Ger­many Watch; 9/7/2011.

EXCERPT: . . . The 9/11 per­pe­tra­tors were known as the “Ham­burg Cell”. This video men­tions the chief of Ham­burg Police at the time of 9/11, later became the head of the BND. . . .

. . . . One of the main peo­ple sup­ply­ing ‘info’ to the pro­pa­gan­dists push­ing the “9/11 was an inside job” view is Andreas von Bülow , linked with Ger­man Intel­li­gence, and actively pro­vid­ing the dis­in­for­ma­tion to con­spir­acy the­o­rists, to paint the con­spir­a­tors to be feared as their own (“Zion­ist Occu­pied”) democ­ra­cies. Subversion.

Note that the NWO/911/WMD con­spir­acy the­o­ries never talk about Germany. . . .

“Ger­man Secret Ser­vice ‘Failed to Act on Ter­ror­ist Warn­ings’” by Toby Helm; The Tele­graph [UK]; 11/24/2001.

EXCERPT: . . . . The infor­ma­tion about the intel­li­gence fail­ure, always denied by Ger­man intel­li­gence, comes from a source on a par­lia­men­tary com­mit­tee that over­sees the work of the Ham­burg state secret service.

The source said it would be “absolutely right” to say that the intel­li­gence agency had known about the flat before Sep­tem­ber 11.

The rev­e­la­tion adds to a grow­ing vol­ume of evi­dence sug­gest­ing that the Ger­man intel­li­gence ser­vices were much closer to the poten­tial ter­ror­ists in Ham­burg before Sep­tem­ber 11 than they have wanted to admit.

Since the attacks on New York and Wash­ing­ton, the Ger­man author­i­ties have main­tained that mem­bers of the Ham­burg group were just stu­dents who they had no rea­son to sus­pect because they led unre­mark­able lives, typ­i­cal of ter­ror­ist “sleepers”.

“They had com­pletely incon­spic­u­ous lives. Noth­ing they did gave us cause to be sus­pi­cious,” said a senior Ger­man inves­ti­ga­tor. They also claimed that they had never been directed towards 54 Marienstrasse.

How­ever, this defence is look­ing less cred­i­ble by the day. The Tele­graph has estab­lished that a com­mit­tee of MPs with respon­si­bil­ity for intel­li­gence mat­ters in Ham­burg met on Sept 17 to dis­cuss the impli­ca­tions of the attack.

Accord­ing to a source who was there, MPs were told that the Ham­burg state intel­li­gence ser­vice had been asked by the Fed­eral intel­li­gence ser­vices more than a year ear­lier to observe 54 Marienstrasse.

The source, who did not want to be named, said the intel­li­gence ser­vices did not react and that no evi­dence was ever gath­ered from the flat. . . .

“Ger­mans Were Track­ing Sept. 11 Con­spir­a­tors as Early as 1998, Doc­u­ments Dis­close” by Desmond But­ler; New York Times; 1/18/2003; p. A10.

EXCERPT: . . . . Three years before the Sept. 11 attacks, Germany’s domes­tic intel­li­gence ser­vice was track­ing promi­nent mem­bers of the Ham­burg ter­ror­ist cell that planned and exe­cuted the air­craft hijack­ings, accord­ing to newly obtained doc­u­ments. The doc­u­ments, includ­ing intel­li­gence reports, sur­veil­lance logs and tran­scripts of inter­cepted tele­phone calls, appear to con­tra­dict pub­lic claims by the Ger­man author­i­ties that they knew lit­tle about the mem­bers of the Ham­burg cell before the attacks. . . .

  1. Ha ha again we have a drib­ble of truth, Dave! Will it take decades to learn that what u have writ­ten makes more sense !! Every­thing u have tied up makes per­fect sense. Amer­ica is,the land of the sleep­ing stu­pid! Peo­ple are wrapped up in their use­less, lit­tle lives to not care or give a s___,remember that,they are keep­ing, access to jfk papers for another 50 yrs! All mem­ory will be wiped clean! Dont for­get that Bush had his hand in every­thing for thd last 50yrs or more thanks too to Russ Baker

  2. We west­ern­ers have under­es­ti­mated the Ger­mans. Look at how they have man­aged to out­ma­noeu­ver us, com­pletely, with­out hav­ing our intel­li­gence and polit­i­cal appar­tus to even begin to notice it. I am afraid it will be fatal. Lazy­ness, con­fort and rou­tine make excel­lent prepa­ra­tions for defeat and destruction.

  3. To con­tinue fur­ther, the U.S. has been lured to Afghanistan in the first place before Irak. Afghanistan is the grave­yard of empires, the USSR being its last vic­tim up to date, is it really sur­pris­ing that our cur­rent demise has expanded there? No. In all prob­a­bil­i­ties, it was inten­tional. We were drawn there by peo­ple who knew very well it would be fatal. You know, there is just one prob­lem with George W. Bush’s state­ment that “Islam is a good reli­gion, we are at war with ter­ror”. That was bad intel­li­gence again, crafted to deceive us. We are not at war with a coun­try or an orga­ni­za­tion. We are at war with a men­tal­ity, a mind­set, an intel­lec­tual incli­na­tion. The real war­zone is in the mind of humans. To win the war, we have to con­vince them that the ideals of the Renais­sance and the Enlight­en­men are still the dri­ving force of our civ­i­liza­tion and that it should con­tinue to be. Either the intel­li­gence appa­ra­tus of the U.S. is com­posed of gross incom­pe­tent bureau­crats, or this appa­ra­tus lured us vol­un­tar­ily to our own destruc­tion. Again, I must rec­og­nize the intel­li­gence of the Ger­man people.

  4. @Mike: Sad but very true, unfor­tu­nately. Look at what hap­pened in 2010, for exam­ple, when dozens of cor­rupt Teabag­gers where elected to the Con­gress and Sen­ate. Mod­er­ate Repub­li­cans? They may not even exist anymore.....=(

    (P.S. Mike, do you work at WFMU, or are you just a fan? Per­son­ally, it’s one of my all-time favorite stations. =) )

    @Claude: I spartly dis­agree on ONE thing: I can’t help but think that many fac­tions of our Intel not only know, but are actively col­lab­o­rat­ing with the crooks in Ger­many, and other coun­tries as well.

  5. Ger­many has said that the con­spir­a­tors used a code word of “wed­ding” when refer­ring to the dates of the Sept 11 attacks. The edi­tors of Der Spiegel mag­a­zine wrote a book called ‘Inside 9–11: What Really Hap­pened’. Also one you might find inter­est­ing is a book called ‘TRIPLE CROSS’. The US “thought” the attacks of that year were going to occur in Europe.
    Came across your site btw research­ing Gehlen. IMO, it was the Wik­iLeaks of its day, except there was no Inter­net back then. Gehlen was debat­ing for a while about “crossing-over” to either the UK or the US with his col­lected data on the now for­mer USSR. As his­tory now knows , in the end he went with the US.
