The program begins with material overlapped from our previous program, delineating U.S. government protection of Jihadist elements, in order that they could be used as proxy warriors in ongoing covert operations.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: The FBI’s limiting of the investigation of the assassination of extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane; the fact that the limiting of that investigation permitted Ali Mohamed, Mahmoud Aboulihama and Mohammed Salameh to participate in future terrorist attacks, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1998 Nairobi Embassy bombing; the FBI’s blaming of the attenuation of the investigation of the Kahane murder on New York DA Robert Morgenthau; Morgenthau’s previous investigation of the CIA-linked BCCI; the FBI’s shielding of Army Special Forces operative Ali Mohamed in the1993 World Trade Center bombing; the FBI’s shielding of Mohamed in the 1995 “Landmarks Case”—the plot to blow up the United Nations, the George Washington Bridge and both the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels; the probability that Mohamed’s utility as a trainer of mujahadeen for covert operations in Afghanistan, Bosnia and parts of the former Soviet Union was the cause of his inviolability.
The next section of the program presents information about the genesis of Ali Mohamed as a U.S. agent and trainer of mujahadeen.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: Zbigniew Brzezinski’s creation of the mujahadeen training and recruitment organization at the outset of the Afghan war against the Soviet Union; the training of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s elite personal guard (of which Ali Mohamed was a member) by J.J. Capucci and Associates, headed by “ex” CIA-agent Edwin Wilson and Theodore Shackley; the handing over of the training of Sadat’s guard to the CIA following Brzezinski’s visit to Egypt in 1980; Ali Mohamed’s training at Fort Bragg in the U.S. by Special Forces; Mohamed’s networking with and allegiance to both Sheikh Rahman (involved with the Al-Kifah Center mujahadeen effort, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the Landmarks case) and Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man and eventual successor.
Next, we dolly back and examine the continued domestic and foreign operations of the Al-Kifah Center milieu, including operations involving drug trafficking and other criminal activity, support for the Al-Kifah Center by Saudi Arabia and the Center’s involvement in covert operations in Xinjiang Province in China, Chechnya in Russia, Uzbekistan and other former parts of the Soviet Union and the Balkans.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: The transition of Ali Mohamed’s mujahadeen-training program from sending fighters to Afghanistan to sending fighters to Bosnia; the Saudi government’s partial financing of Sheikh Rahman’s defense fund (Rahman was indicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing); Al-Kifah trainees’ participation in covert operations in Chechnya, Tajikistan and fighting alongside the Uighurs in Xinjiang province; Al-Qaeda’s alliance with the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan; the Al-Qaeda/IMU use of heroin trafficking to finance combat and terror operations; the 9/11 Commission Report’s dismissal of the verifiable fact that Al-Qaeda helped finance its operations with the Afghan drug trade; the Al-Kifah Center milieu’s involvement in the drug trade, as well as arson-for-hire and counterfeiting; Mujahid Abdulqaadir Menepta, a Muslim suspect in both the 9/11 case and the Oklahoma City bombing; Menepta’s alleged involvement in organized crime and drug trafficking; the Al-Kifah Center’s joint operations with the Saudis; Sphinx Trading’s link to the Al-Kifah operation; the protection of Sphinx Trading even after 9/11.
Fleshing out the jihadist milieu, we note bin Laden relatives and their involvement in Al-Qaeda fronts and the cover-up of their activities by the Deep State milieu.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: the World Assembly of Muslim Youth and its links to mujahadeen and terrorism; Abdullah bin Laden’s leadership of the WAMY; Abdullah bin Laden’s evacuation by jet along with other Saudis and members of the bin Laden family after 9/11; the Golden Chain letter discovered in the IIRO office in Bosnia, containing the names of key Al-Qaeda financiers; the presence in the “Golden Chain’ of Khalid bin Mahfouz, the top banker in Saudi Arabia; the IIRO’s founding by Jamal Kalifa, Osama bin Laden’s nephew.
The last part of our program reviews two elements presented in FTR#1181.
In the trial of Ramzi Yousef, a lay-out of the terror scenario that became the 9/11 attacks was on Yousef’s laptop, yet was never brought to light.
Likewise, the name of Khalid Shaikh Mohamed–dubbed the mastermind of the 9/11 and currently the focal point of ongoing legal proceedings–was all but omitted from Yousef’s trial, despite his participation in the aborted “Operation Bojinka” plot to blow up a number of airliners over the Pacific.
In our series, we note the exclusion of key participants in the murder of extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane, which permitted co-conspirators to participate in the first World Trade Center attack in 1993 and Nairobi U.S. Embassy bombings in 1998.
Among the probable motives for these key, deadly omissions is the use of these Al-Qaeda, Muslim-Brotherhood derived terrorist elements as proxy warriors in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya and Uzbekistan.
We conclude by reviewing how cynical the Deep State can be, acting with a complete disregard for American combat military personnel.
With President Biden having announced the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from Afghanistan, we contemplate the events that led to that involvement, especially terrorist incidents culminating in the 9/11 attack.
We rely on research done by the brilliant, venerable Peter Dale Scott.
We begin by noting how cynical the Deep State can be, acting with a complete disregard for American combat military personnel: ” . . . . Just how subordinated official policy could become to deep state needs was demonstrated in November 2001, when Cheney, at the request of [Pakistan’s head of state] Musharraf and the ISI [Pakistan’s primary intelligence service], approved secret airlifts to ferry surrounded Pakistani and high-level al-Qaeda fighters out of Afghanistan, to safety in Pakistan. . . .”

“. . . . In Triple Cross, Peter Lance, who does not mention KSM’s escape from Qatar, focuses instead on the way that, later in the same year, U.S. federal prosecutors kept his name out of the trial of Ramzi Yousef in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing: “Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mike Garcia and Dietrich Snell presented a riveting, evidence-driven case . . . and characterized the material retrieved from Ramzi’s Toshiba laptop as ‘the most devastating evidence of all. . . .’ . . . While Yousef’s laptop . . . contained the full details of the plot later executed on 9/11, not a word of that scenario was mentioned during trial . . . . Most surprising, during the entire summer-long trial, the name of the fourth Bojinka conspirator, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed . . . . was mentioned by name only once, in reference to a letter found in [Yousef’s apartment] . . . .”
Illustrating the machinations of what Professor Scott terms “The American Deep State” are the interactions between Big Oil, Sullivan & Cromwell, the Dulles brothers and the Eisenhower administration to destabilize the Mossadeq regime in Iran.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: A letter written by Sullivan & Cromwell attorney John Foster Dulles in the 1930s to a British colleague, celebrating cartels and the triumph of international businessmen in overcoming barriers to geopolitical maneuvering erected by “nationalist” politicians; collaboration by the “Seven Sisters” of Big Oil (Standard Oil of New Jersey [now Exxon], Standard Oil of New York [now Mobil], Standard Oil of California [now Chevron], Gulf Oil, Texaco, Royal Dutch Shell and Anglo-Iranian [now BP] in controlling the international oil business; a cooperative effort by the Seven Sisters to successfully reduce Iranian oil production from 241 million barrels a year in 1950 to 10.6 million barrels a year in 1952 in order to destabilize premier Mossadeq; Professor Scott’s point that the CIA’s overthrow of Mossadeq in 1953 represented a “Deep State” realization of the goal of the oil cartel; the role of ARAMCO in the strangling of Iranian oil production, offsetting the drop in Iranian production by increasing its own; change of a Justice Department suit against Big Oil from a criminal proceeding to a civil suit prosecuted by the Department of State; the predictable resolution of that suit in favor of big oil; the fact that the oil cartel was represented in that suit by Sullivan & Cromwell and John Foster Dulles was in charge of the State Department; the fact that John Foster Dulles’ brother and Sullivan & Cromwell associate Allen was in charge of the CIA at the same time and oversaw the removal of Mossadeq; Allen Dulles’ successful gambit to sidestep President Eisenhower by securing British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan as an executive authority to dispatch U‑2 flights..
The program concludes with delineation of U.S. government protection of Jihadist elements so that they could be used as proxy warriors in ongoing covert operations.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: U.S. government protection for Ali Mohamed, an al-Qaeda operative who doubled as a Special Forces operative training mujahadeen for combat operations in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya among other places; FBI agent John Zent’s communication to the RCMP in Vancouver, leading to Mohamed’s release from custody; Mohamed’s training of mujahadeen at the Al-Kifah Refugee Center in Brooklyn; the assassination of extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane by trainees of Mohamed’s including El Sayyid Nosair; the FBI and New York Police Department’s cover-up of the participation in the Kahane killing of Nosair/Mohamed associates; the eventual participation of some of those associates in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; the FBI’s sabotage of New York County District Attorney Robert Morgenthau’s attempts to widen the investigation of the Al-Kifah milieu; the central role of Ali Mohamed’s Al-Kifah trainees in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
In a series of programs we are recording, we highlight the vital research of the brilliant, venerable Berkeley researcher Peter Dale Scott, who has chronicled the shocking behavior of elements of our government, covering up the involvement in terrorist incidents of individuals and institutions that, if properly pursued, could have prevented the 9/11 attacks–the event that precipitated our entry into that conflict. “. . . .

We have covered the debacle of U.S. policy in Afghanistan in FTR#‘s 678, 680, 683 and 685. High-ranking military officers expressed their dissatisfaction with Afghan policy in a “Washington Post” story. As Biden pivots from “Forever War,” as epitomized by the war in Afghanistan, to what may very well be World War III, in support of the OUN/B‑dominated national security apparatus of contemporary Ukraine, it is worth contemplating the stunning lack of regard the “Deep State” in this country has for its men and women in uniform. ” . . . . . . . . Just how subordinated official policy could become to deep state needs was demonstrated in November 2001, when Cheney, at the request of [Pakistan’s head of state] Musharraf and the ISI [Pakistan’s primary intelligence service], approved secret airlifts to ferry surrounded Pakistani and high-level al-Qaeda fighters out of Afghanistan, to safety in Pakistan. . . .”
In FTR #795, we detailed the historical evolution of the political ascent of Narendra Modi, inextricably linked with the operations, development and history of the RSS, political parent to his BJP Party. The RSS is a Hindu nationalist and fascist party, one of whose alumni assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. Recent developments have clarified the degree of control and influence that the RSS exerts on Modi. That control is profound and direct. Most alarmingly, the RSS wants to see India and Pakistan “reunited!” All of the contents of this website as of 12/19/2014–Dave Emory’s 35+ years of research and broadcasting–as well as hours of videotaped lectures are available on a 32GB flash drive.

Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi, with a political background in a Hindu nationalist party with strong fascist roots, is now in charge of the world’s second largest country and the world’s largest democracy. Narendra Modi belonged to the RSS, an organization with an historical affinity for Nazism and fascism. Capitalizing on anti-Muslim fervor in India, RSS has generated much gravitas. Modi has been implicated in complicity in lethal anti-Muslim rioting in India. In addition to anti-colonial sentiment that pitted Indian nationalists against the British Raj prior to World War II, Nazism and Hindu philosophy also found common ground in elements of “Aryan” mysticism. Many elements of the Brahmin caste also found affinity with the elitist and anti-democratic philosophy of Mussolini’s fascism as well.

Pakistani nukes being driven in easily-hijacked vans. Extremists could access them easily. Pakistani leadership more afraid of U.S. than Islamists.
Fundamental changes are needed in U.S. Afghan policy, including moderation of the use of firepower, elimination of corruption, altering of policy toward opium production and redefinition of American society.
