The View from the 101st Floor
Reckoning with the Long September
This article is dedicated to one million Lebanese who defied the Zionist Luftwaffe to pay their respects to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. If God is just, one day they’ll live free in their own land. الله يرحمه.
We’re two projects away from tackling 9/11. (At least.)
Our factual basis isn’t deficient or anything.1 It’s a signal:noise problem - every year since 9/11 the ratio of bullshit to bourbon shifts, and not in our favor. Just separating fact from fiction’s a full-time job. Forget about saying anything worthwhile.
9/11 investigation comes in brief sips, like the kid at marathon mile markers handing out Gatorade in paper cups. Runners glug, crumple, go. It has to be that way - event was twenty-five years in the making.2 Downing the cooler in one go would put you in the hospital.
We took off like a man possessed when the starting gun went off. Four to eight hours, every night: the planes. The factions. The geopolitics. Three months in - right as we were getting into the nitty-gritty of Isra*li involvement in 9/113 - Zion got T-boned by reality.
How fortuitous. A blessing from the LORD, perhaps?
Isra*l’s all-you-can-eat buffet of barbarism took over after October 7. 9/11 was nearly impossible to fit in, but we kept coming back to it anyway, usually in the middle of the night. Something told us it was the mack daddy conspiracy, and related to 10/7; we just didn’t know how. Like a caveman at the Louvre, befuddled by how much the Mona Lisa resembles his fingerpaintings.
That something wasn’t forthcoming, though. So we slowed the world-record pace to a crawl. Started chatting up the Gatorade kid. Stumble on something related to 9/11? Great! Colleagues remind you of 9/11...fine. Seduce me with your wares. Not seeking her siren song out, but not resisting it, either.
The Spiccoli lethargy paid off - couple days back, a 9/11 OG brought up the Poppy Bush-Al Haig titanomachy after John Hinckley risked it all to woo Jodie Foster. Our caveman brain wrinkled. There was something there. Heavy hitters don’t go toe to toe in the center of the ring for no reason. Especially not following an assassination attempt one of them was probably in on.4
I. COUNTING COUP
Poppy and his murder-happy frenemy don’t need much introduction. In a word, these guys are H E A V Y E V I L. Decades-long deep operators chomping at the bit to turn their shadow presidencies into real ones. Both had their coronations pre-planned: Haig by retaining physical control of the White House, Poppy by playing nice with Haig while planning to kill him.5
Poppy’s ploy should have worked. By ‘81, he’d been putting up covert action Hall of Fame numbers for three decades. Probably thought dethroning NATO’S former commander would be a walk in the park.
Except he lost.
No Ronnie dead-y, no coronation. Haig didn’t even have the decency to turn up facedown in a bowl of soup , which means Poppy really lost.
Prescott didn’t raise no quitter, though. Poppy went for the brass ring one more time:
Midway through the Iran-Contra hearings.
We know what you’re thinking. “Iran-Contra? Monday’s Jeopardy! clue?” It sounds fake. Dumb, even. Believe it or not, the Iran-Contra debacle’s a peep through the keyhole at the 9/11s That Weren’t.6
II. YOU UP ON THIS?
Remember your first Playboy?
The issue number. Pouty Playmate gracing the cover. Hell, probably even the smell of the timeworn pages.
Conspiracists feel that way about Mark Gorton’s 50 Years of the Deep State. It’s exactly what it sounds like: one man taking on everything from JFK to 9/11, in one giant essay. Thinking you can tackle such a task – Surprise! JFK, RFK, Iran-Contra, and 9/11 ARE all related. I can prove it! – takes titanic chutzpah.
Honestly, it’s a mess.
Gorton’s not a historian, sociologist, or unemployed conspiracist: just a smart engineer who decided he could solve for x, took a handcart of conspiracy books at face value, and blended them into a Unified Field Theory with more holes than Swiss cheese.
The shabby product’s only partially his fault, though. 50 Years was leaked before before he could finish it, and not by friendlies. Gorton was so spooked warned he might get whacked:
I am concerned because the criminal syndicate that I describe in these documents has a long history of harassing and killing people who describe what they do. They not only kill the people that speak up, on occasion, they also kill their family members. I have a good life and four great kids, and I would prefer not to bring the wrath of a criminal government down upon my head.
I would ask that you completely read all three documents and think about what they have to say. Having these documents suddenly appear on a blog like Gawker changes my risk profile in life.
That being said, I do think that the truth needs to be told about what has happened to our democracy. I have written these documents and I have sent them out to a limited audience. If you are interested in publishing this material, I ask that you talk to me and that this be done in a thoughtful manner. I would prefer that my life not be put in jeopardy by a casual, quick, one off, blog post.
Gorton wasn’t rubbed out far as we know, but he did go dark7 - no complete draft of 50 Years ever turned up. Shame. His curio shines a spotlight on Poppy Bush’s darker deeds. Even hints at the vantablack ones.
III. WHAT, LIKE IT’S HARD?
Like all annoying analytical thinkers, Gorton’s enamored of simplicity. He paints a neat conspiracy triptych:
LBJ dominates the inaugural JFK panel, then disappears. From there on out, Poppy and his crime-specc’ed sons are front and center. Jacked and tan, nips erect. Perpetrating everything from Iran-Contra to 9/11. The end.
Turns out conspiracy’s easy. Who knew?
Reduction to absurdity’s too kind. Gorton thinks the deep state’s pretty much unified, even though we know it isn’t. Naive as it is, his theory still sports some serious diamonds in the rough:
Eventually, the large scale looting of the Savings and Loans, the securities fraud, the oil and gas frauds, the insurance frauds all began to come to light, and the end of The Enterprise was clearly in sight. At this point, an attempt was made to deliberately expose some drug and gun running aspects of the Enterprise and to blame them on Reagan in an attempt to force him to resign. The falsely blaming the president for crimes with which he was not associated has strong parallels to the Watergate Coup and makes Iran–Contra the fourth Coup attempt in George H.W. Bush’s career. However, Reagan loyalists Edwin Meese and George Schultz were able to fight off the coup, and Reagan’s presidency survived.
As he tells it, Poppy planned the hearings as a Watergate 2.08 by necessity. Jig was up. Just enough time for one last job.
The timeline fits, sorta. “Iran-Contra”’s cover story (a boozy mix of equal parts Sandinistas, drugs...Ollie North maybe? I forget) was unveiled March 1986, seemingly ahead of schedule.9 The hearings started just over a year later, the governmental blink of an eye. After tying off a certain loose end10 Poppy managed to stack the deck: ranking Senate Committee member for the Iran-Contra show trial hearings? Only one Richard Cheney.11 And as for our star witness...
One of your top boys asking scripted questions your second boy answers. Genius. Just like that, Iran-Contra ’87 wasn’t a hearing. Merely an elaborate stageplay to ignite the proverbial Reichstag.12
Because Gorton never gave us sources to interrogate, the possibility’s just that. But he’s probably right the Iran-Contra hearings were a figleaf for something bigger. A coup attempt reconciles 80s deep state dynamics with historical data that doesn’t make sense otherwise.
The morsel merits chewing. Point of order before we don our bib: God, Gorton fucked the dog on JFK. It’s bad. So bad we gotta make a quick pit stop in Dealey Plaza.
IV. IT’S MY COLUMN, I’LL DIGRESS IF I WANT TO
Gorton’s ambitious as they come, but original he’s not. Fifty Years “solves” JFK using the Dad Brigade histrionics we bitched about last time. It was LBJ - no, you can’t respond! Jumbo was the poobah, see. I’ll hear no more of it!
Stupid as it is, LBJ soloing the assassination isn’t uncommon in JFK scholarship.13 Gorton actually parrots that school note for note before shattering your eardrums with an A-bomb:
LBJ wasn’t just the Bad Boy In Chief. He planned on killing Jackie-Boy from the word go.
No, really. He says that:
But LBJ may not have needed the impetus of fear for his career and freedom to motivate him to kill JFK. Clare Boothe Luce asked LBJ why he agreed to be VP, and LBJ told her that he had done research and 6 out of 33 of the presidents had managed to achieve office without being elected, and he told her “I’m a gambling man.” But a study of LBJ’s history shows that he was anything but a gambling man. In fact, LBJ was a man who left nothing to chance. Most likely, LBJ planned to kill JFK from the moment he considered becoming vice president.
The nerve, right?
Bitch of it is, Poppy is Gorton’s Moriarty. Responsible for every evil endeavor under the sun except the OG. He’s cribbing there, too. The grayhairs have been spamming the Poppy-was-second-fiddle button for decades, inevitably citing their handy (and ever-growing) conspiratainment bookshelves.14
It’s not all phonebook-thick tomes, though. They’re also partial to an obnoxious “smoking gun,” care of Mr. E. Howard Hunt:
Notice anyone missing?
Clever girl. Got it in one. E. Howard Hunt’s old pal Maurice Bishop is nowhere to be found.15
Hunt clears Poppy by omitting him. He’s unmentioned in the flowchart, and conspicuously absent from Hunt’s vaunted deathbed confession. Like they never met.16 Who knew!
Pop quiz, hotshot. Remember Peter Dale Scott’s X-ray?
Neglecting your homework. Tsk.
We’ll schedule detention later. For now, deploy the X-ray’s look at what they leave out dictum - in Hunt’s case, two of the twentieth century’s premier archvillains. Same ones he ghostwrote for.17 Doesn’t pass the smell test, does it?
Your nose isn’t off. Stench has been wafting for decades. Antihero journalist Russ Baker tracked down its stinking-corpse origin in his 2009 exposé Family of Secrets,18 though Captain Library Card neglected to read it. Shame. Might’ve toned it down if he had - in Family’s hundred-ish pages dealing with the JFK assassination, Poppy’s as central as LBJ is peripheral.
We’re not here to chop it up on JFK too much. Let’s just say Family does to LBJ did it-heads what Castro did to the Bay of Pigs gusanos. Pay that false gospel no heed.
Had to get that off our chest. No more Coxey bugbears comin’ your way. Enough with the foreplay. Time for the Late 80s 9/11 That Wasn’t.
V. THE TOWER CURTAIN FALLS
Like we said, documentary evidence for the ‘87 Iran-Contra hearings being the culmination of something isn’t weak. Not even a little.
“The Enterprise,” as Gorton calls the 80s cabal, pulled blood from stones on every major continent. Afghanistan, Central America, Iran, Iraq, the good ol’ U S of A - you name it, they ravaged it.192021 (Remember - they could only perp that globe-trotting conspiracy because the first let them steal the 1980 election, as our resident Lebanese Lothario detailed couple weeks back.)
The Iran-Contra hearings could have blown that criminal powderkeg sky-high.22 Instead they aired a carefully curated collection of Ollie North B-sides.23 Jack Brooks, the lone congressman who dared inquired about continuity of government precursor REX-84, was shushed into shutting his trap.24
Think about it. Sprinkle a couple guns over here, some crack over there. Enough of each to imply the commander-in-chief really isn’t, but not so much that you and your pals are outed. Add that all up, whaddaya get?
If you’re Poppy, hopefully the resignation of the fucking President.
Compelling as hell, Mr. Gorton. Poppy had Reagan in his sights. At the last minute attorney general Meese and Secretary of State Schultz leapt in front of the bullet - soft coup foiled again. Poppy could pull off savings and loan, GLADIO/B, Iran-fucking-Contra, but he couldn’t get that brass ring. He wasn’t alone: at almost the same time Iran-Contra went sideways, the kosher wing of the JCIT alliance suffered their own devastating setback.
So what, right?
One guy with too much time on his hands claims the Iran-Contra hearings were a failed coup. He doesn’t even source it! The hell should we believe that?
Fair. We actually agree. Gorton’s case is thinner than our wallet after a trip to the Pink Flamingo. That’s why it’s crucial to remember the Second Iron Rule of Conspiracy:
Nothing occurs in isolation.
You have to do a thousand things right to pull off a single plot. That means putting ten thousand pies in the oven at once.25
Schrödinger's Coup popped off in 1987. Like we pointed out in JCIT Part 1, the Bush-Zionist alliance wasn’t a one-off. It was ongoing.26 The attempted decapitation of POTUS and Al Haig, Iran-Contra itself, and the conspiracy’s bumbling 1986 exposure were all products of that ongoing collaboration. Keep that in mind as you peep this forgotten 1987 WaPo story about the Port Authority canceling an Isra*li firm’s security consulting bid for three New York airports:
Woof, huh?
It’s worse than it looks. Atwell’s an “Israeli security company” like Palantir’s a POV porn studio:
Asia House [the Eisenberg Group’s headquarters] would not look out of place in a prosperous American downtown. However, it’s not a coincidence that Tel Aviv’s smartest office buildings are right across from defense headquarters... [David Kimche, chief Iran-Contra arms trafficker] now appears as the representative of the man who owns Asia House: Shaul Nehemieh Eisenberg.
[Eisenberg] represents the ultimate confluence of arms, intelligence, and political power...’The big question, as an Israeli journalist once noted, ‘is whether the state of Israel own Eisenberg or Eisenberg owns the state of Israel.’
...Today [Eisenberg’s] business interests are worldwide, from cement plants and chemical factories in Korea to mines in Chile and extensive operations in Central America.
In 1968 Eisenberg moved to Israel and became a citizen. His arrival was commemorated by passage of the so-called Eisenberg law, specially tailored to give tax relief to his operation. While he swiftly became involved in all areas of the Israeli economy, the arms business was and remains central to his operations.27
- Cockburns, p. 6 and 12.
OK, so Atwell’s another way of saying Eisenberg, AKA Isra*l personified. But the rabbit hole ends there. Right?
WaPo doesn’t outright lie, but they don’t tell the whole truth, either. Bendor/Shalom is indeed the head of Shin Bet who ordered the murder and subsequent coverup of two Palestinian bus hijackers. That wording suggests it was the only black mark on his record, though. Au contraire. Shalom’s an Isra*li terroriste par excellence - 1946-1948 he was in Palmach, the underground recon and assassination unit that perpetrated some of the worst Nakba atrocities.28 In 1950 Shalom joined Shin Bet (Isra*l’s domestic Gestapo29) and cut his teeth sabotaging Egypt’s nascent missile program.
By 1984, when the bus hijacking WaPo’s referencing went down, Bendor-Shalom was a hardened killer. He arrived on scene after Sayeret Matkal30 had already shot two of the four hijackers. Shalom pistol-whipped the survivors until their skulls cracked, ordered the unit commander to make it look like civilians killed them, then compiled a dossier listing every single 1970-1984 Isra*li deep state murder to blackmail his way to a pardon.31
We’re sure WaPo meant to include all that. Probably just ran out of column inches, or something.
VI. THANKS FOR THE GUIGNOL, MR. COXEY. AND…?
We’re no copy editor, but if we were tapped to pitch a headline for the WaPo story, it’d be a bit more accurate. Something like
ISRAELI GOVERNMENT SHITS BED ON TAKING OVER NYC AIRPORT SECURITY SHIN BET CHIEF MADE ‘SLIGHT FUCKY-WUCKY’
Whole thing reeks. The same year Isra*l’s deep state bromance seemingly tried to oust the president, the ‘man who owns Israel’ nabbed a second opinion bid on NYC airport terrorism upgrades - just made to use his Shin Bet subsidiary as plausible deniability.32 Only reason it didn’t get off the ground was because a cub reporter couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
Still kinda iffy. Thank Allah for hindsight - in the two decades since 9/11 unsung lone gunmen followed the money on security firms overseeing ‘upgrades’ and ‘security’ following the ‘93 bombing. Turns out they were all (say it with us now) Bush Family and Isra*li intel outfits:
ICTS [parent company of Huntleigh USA, in charge of Boston and Newark boarding] was established in 1982 by former members of the Shin Bet and El Al security.33
When Securacom went public on 9/11/1997,34 its prospectus featured photographs of its clients the World Trade Center and Dulles Airport...one of Stratesec’s biggest security contracts was to provide electronic security for Dulles and Reagan airports. Securacom got the $8.3M World Trade Center security contract in October 1996...[Stratesec manager Jeff Gallup] was “intimately involved“ with WTC security up to 9/12/01, when “the FBI left my office with all the contents of the WTC visitors' database.”35
[Chief al-Qaeda trainer & Green Beret] Ali A. Mohamed36...knew the internal procedures of the security company that maintained two checkpoints used by hijackers at Boston’s Logan Airport ...Globe Aviation Services, a subsidiary of the Burns International Security Agency, where Mohamed started to work in 1995. Globe provided security at both Logan and Reagan.37
Spy-turned-novelist Ian Fleming quips, once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.38
Child’s play for Isra*l and the Poppy-led deep state. Three times? Try three decades. The duo tapdanced a conspiratorial pas de deux from 1979 right up until 9/11.39 Each coup attempt came up short, but they always managed to move the needle: first we get the presidency. Then the WTC OK, fine. We’ll just invade Iraq, and stay forever.40 Omigod FINE! Audible - use the FBI-instigated ‘93 bombing41 to get our boy Dov in on the security upgrades,42 and then...
A conspiracy conga line stretching back to the days of disco. And it worked. That’s why we’re covering JCIT. She started the deep state dialectic that made 9/11 possible and used the Yinon wars launched in ‘retribution’ to kill millions of Arabs. They’re still killing them now, as we write.
The cabal’s airport skulduggery’s clear as day, but the sky wasn’t 9/11’s only attack vector. To really understand the scale of it, we have to look at the sea.
VII. NO, NOT ZYN. Z-I-M
Don’t lie: you didn’t even glance at that CIA Tehran dossier.
Sinner. Anyway, check it:
We’re well-acquainted with IAI now. ZIM, though? Never heard of it.
That’s by design. The 9/11 planes were misdirection. Perfectly suited for it: metal skybirds with awe-inspiring plumage. Slam those babies into the faces of American capitalism, everyone looks that-a-way. That’s right - watch my left hand. Pay no attention to the right one...
ZIM’s the right hand. That old chestnut about ninety percent of freight moving by sea’s only true if you’re tabulating tonnage - the kind necessary to demolish WTC1, 2, (part of) 6, and 7. ZIM’s an ideal cover: large, storied fleet; offices in every national metropolis;43 Isra*li deep state controlled since the jump.
That sounds like supposition. For once in 9/11 conspiracy, we caught a lucky break. Every clue we need is right in front of us. Quoting from ZIM’s website:
ZIM was established in 1945 by the Jewish Agency, Histadrut labor federation, and the Israel Maritime League. The company's first ship, the Kedmah, was purchased in 1947. The early fleet included ships that were refitted to carry immigrants from Europe and to bring much-needed supplies during the 1948 War of Independence.
Quaint little blurb, huh? More like hasbara masterclass. Every entity ZIM evokes in this bit of nostalgic fluff has a blood-soaked history. Jewish Agency, for instance - sounds harmless, like they sell latkes at the synagogue or something. Jewish Agency’s actually the pre-state government of Isra*l. Same one that blew up Mandate railways and oil refineries, killed ten thousand Egyptians and Syrians with biowarfare, and smuggled US weapons to Palestine.44
That final clause - bring much-needed supplies - only makes sense in light of the JA being Nakba generalissimo. They needed bullets and bombs to do it, and ZIM was happy to oblige.45
ZIM was in the tank for the settler colony from the jump, no doubt about it. By the time our CIA dossier was compiled they were a major player:
...the company operated 19 major cargo lines [in 1970], carrying 4.3 million tons of cargo annually.
In 1972, ZIM introduced the ZIM Container Service, a three-continent line, with a scheduled 100-day journey that originated in Israel and included ports of call in the Far East, Asia, America and Europe.
During the late 1980s, ZIM embarked on a massive fleet renovation and expansion project. From 1990 to 1997, ZIM built 15 modern ships, enabling the company to offer a weekly fixed-day sailing schedule, positioning ZIM among the world’s top-ranking shipping companies.
In response to the global shipping crisis in 1997, a result of the financial crisis in Asia, ZIM launched a new effort to optimize the company’s operations through increased efficiency and focused expansion. The company added 13 new 5,000 TEU container ships to its fleet, increasing ZIM’s cargo capacity by a remarkable 50% within two years.
Hoo, Lordy. Isra*li government-obedient, check. Shipping capacity out the ass, check. Confirmation from foreign intel service they’re serious operators, check. What’s that got to do with 9/11?
Great question. Step into our office.
Nowadays it’s owned by the Ofer Brothers, but on 9/11 ZIM was forty-nine percent owned by the Isra*li government. (Or the Eisenberg group; semantics.)46 She was actually one of two Isra*li WTC tenants - the first, Clear Forest, kept eighteen workers on North Tower floor 47 in a modest office space.47
ZIM, on the other hand, had huge WTC real estate: 50,000 square feet on the sixteenth floor, 10,000 more on the seventeenth, and an unspecified amount on floor twenty-nine, plus two hundred fifty-ish workers. Lotta people to lose...if you’re a big enough sucker to be in the office that tragic day.
ZIM wasn’t. They moved out 9/4/2001.48
Nevermind that they lost eight milly by breaking their lease five years early - five months before 9/11, spooked-up ZIM American decided they wanted out of the Big Apple49 and departed for life in the slow lane, the sunny shores of...
reads
Norfolk, Virginia?50
ZIM didn’t just move into vacant space. They located the site, hired architects and contractors, and built the damn thing in seven months:
Hunter Management Corp. has been named Owner's Representative in charge of the relocation of Zim-American Israeli Shipping Co. from its headquarters in New York's World Trade Center to a 45,000 SF office building soon to be under construction in the Lake Wright Office Complex in Norfolk, Va., announced James A. Pirot, Hunter Management's president.
Since accepting the fast-track project last month, Hunter has been involved in assisting with site location, selecting the development team of architect and general contractor, and developing strategic relocation plans for Zim-American employees, including an estimated 50 upper-level managers.51
So our Eisenberg-staked international shipping firm with bookoo office space just up and left a week before 9/11, but not before hemorrhaging even more money on new digs. Right.
The real estate part’s bad. The port part’s worse - remember, ZIM’s tenth shipper in the world by tonnage. So naturally when choosing their NYC distribution hub they picked Brooklyn’s one and only Red Hook Port.
VIII. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Red Hook’s not the biggest NYC port, and certainly not the most modern, but that didn’t stop ZIM from snagging a 1996 contract to move 10,000 containers a year through it.52
The move makes zero sense. Red Hook’s not just small; it doesn’t even have the highway and freight hook-ups needed to move modern twenty-foot shipping containers. That’s why New York’s legendary harbor migrated across the Hudson in the first place - capital seeking the path of least resistance.
Industry titan ZIM should’ve followed that turnpike exodus. Instead it bought a rusty dump with nothing going for it except proximity. Red Hook’s main event-centric. WTC? Three miles as the crow flies. Moshe’s Moving Company and Urban Moving Systems, the two Isra*li intel fronts implicated in 9/11? Two miles each.
Five years before 9/11, a company Isra*l’s foremost spymaster admitted is a front53 nabs a specialized lease at the rinky-dink port kittycorner to the attack site, just like it tried to do in ‘86. Same spooked-up outfit escapes certain destruction on 9/11 because she picked up sticks a week prior. Even the ten-man skeleton crew left behind made it out OK.54
That’s showbiz, kid.
IX. THE AIR UP THERE
On a clear day, you can see impossibly far from what used to be the WTC observation deck. Certain things come into focus from that lofty perch: 9/11 wasn’t an event. It was a process.55 It wasn’t an “inside job” either - it was an inside-outside job by some unholy trinity. Us and the Isra*lis, for sure. And...
A cirrus cloud sullies your view just long enough - shit. Almost had it.
That’s why we have to take 9/11 investigation one little Gatorade gulp at a time. Most days you’re in the marathon’s doldrums, chasing the ghost of an American that was. Thirsty work.
JFK’s conspirators code-named the assassination The Big Event. At the time it was the Biggest: a public ritual execution telling Americans This country does not belong to you without uttering a word. 9/11 makes it look small.
Solving this crime will take a lifetime. That’s fine. Undoing Yinon and the holocaust that came with it starts with 9/11 truth.
Join us next time when we interrogate the JCIT propaganda offensive that made 9/11 possible. ‘til then ——
Stay golden, Ponyboy. .من النهر الى البحر
It’s 9/11, though. Who the fuck knows.
Sounds like poetic license. It’s not. Earliest flashing-red WE’RE DOING IT indicator was probably 1977’s The Medusa Touch. Touch is double trouble: its midpoint scene’s eerily similar to the 9/11 attack, plus it was future Hollywood super-producer Arnon Milchan's inaugural cinematic outing. Arnon went on to produce a million and one blockbusters - Brazil, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, HEAT, JFK, you name it, he made it. When he wasn’t busy churning out the 20th century’s marquee celluloid touchstones, Arnon was still hard at work stealing the US's nuclear weapons. (While winking at the camera.)
May it please the court, exhibit No. 2 in The People v. Dabbing-on-Us, a 1980 interview with legendary Mossad spymaster Isser Harel:
“I fear it will come to you in America. America has the power, but not the will, to fight terrorism. The terrorists have the will, but not the power, to fight America. But all that could change with time. Arab oil money buys more than tents...New York City is the symbol of freedom and capitalism. It’s likely they will strike the Empire State Building, your tallest building [at that time] and a symbol of your power.”
Harel wasn’t the first Isra*li intelligence figure who saw 9/11 coming a mile away, and he definitely wasn’t the last. Wonder why they didn’t clue us in?
Even in 2025, it’s still a third-rail topic. The Zionist lobby’s that strong. (Didn’t help that neo-Nazi freaks simplified the story to ‘Rothschild world conspiracy.’ It’s the Devil quoting Scripture to suit his purpose though: the actual evidence is damning.)
Turn back now if you value your Sanity Points. Poppy’s fingerprints are all over the Hinckleys even before the assassination. He had CIA front Zapata Oil; family friend John Hinckley, Sr. had Vanderbilt Oil Energy, miraculously rescued after a mid-1970s near-bankruptcy (around the same time Senior began a born-again Christian arc funding World Vision Industries, a Third World “missionary” organization). In 1980 World Vision’s US division was headed by Vietnam old hand Robert Ainsworth, but in 2022 she was still living large off the USAID teat.
Then there’s the assassination itself. The Hinckleys funded W.’s 1978 Texas congressional run, which Junior allegedly interned on - they knew each other. In 1980 Junior got rung up for pulling the same shit against Carter. His Notice-Me-Kween-Jodie motivation wasn’t even original - fellow Foster admirer Ed Robinson tried to finish Reagan off a week after the Hinckley attempt. Quoting from the NYT:
Edward Michael Richardson of Drexel Hill, Pa., later told investigators that if he failed to kill the President, he “intended to get” Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. or Senator Jesse Helms, Republican of North Carolina.
Al Haig, eh? Small world. Lest we forget the pièce de résistance - Hinckley claimed he was part of a conspiracy, but the FBI swept it under the rug.
Ah-ah. It’s in the mile-long footnote you just skipped. No shortcuts.
Depends how you count, but by our reckoning there were five failed 9/11’s prior to the real thing: Hinckley assassination, the Iran-Contra hearings, Wolfowitz’s post-Gulf War “occupy Iraq forever” plan, and a failed attempt to flatten the World Trade Center that never got off the ground. (We’ll give it its due below.)
If Gorton is still alive, sincere alhamdulillah. He got a lot of things wrong, but the deep state’s willingness to rub people out isn’t one of em.
The real Watergate, if you please. Not the cover story written by a Navy intel officer and ongoing MOCKINGBIRD asset.
Telltale signs aplenty suggest Iran-Contra came out of the oven half-baked:
drug smuggler extraordinaire Barry Seal was whacked in February, after allegedly trying to blackmail Poppy with a VHS of Jeb and W. caught red-handed flying a planeload of cocaine.
Three of Barry’s estranged bosses from the Medellin Cartel went down the same night he died, one of them the brother-in-law of Jorge Ochoa, the very man the government framed for ordering the hit. (Seals’s assassins maintained Ollie North hired them personally.)
After the infamous C-123 was shot down over Nicaragua in October 1986, North spent seventy-two frenzied hours shredding office papers.
We’re not sure Gorton’s right, but he definitely ain’t wrong. Something derailed the Central American gravy train. See Hopsicker, Barry & ‘the Boys.’
Bill Casey. Seriously. The arch pervert-cum-CIA-director croaked the day after the hearings started. He was hospitalized for a stroke at the time, but still. Funny how that happens.
Rumsfeld didn’t show. Didn’t need to - he’d already done his part making Iran-Contra happen in the first place.
Sound familiar?
That’s its own op. Proving it would take forever and a day, but maybe you’ll indulge us in a little hypothetical. Cui bono from LBJ being the assassination’s only Big Bad?
Seriously, you have to stop buying Crucible in Dallas because it’s fifty percent off and you forgot to Christmas shop. Get them anything else. A nice tie rack, perhaps.
Poppy’s likely alias while in Dallas 11/21 (and possibly morning of 11/22/63). Very Carlos Danger of him.
On the contrary. They were tight. See Russ Baker, Family of Secrets pgs. 22 and 114:
In 1950 [OSS recruiter James Burnham] introduced William F. Buckley Jr. to a CIA officer named E. Howard Hunt.
Poppy entered Yale in 1945, left ‘48. So close!
This gives us Dulles in Dallas, scant weeks before the assassination [who Hunt also exonerates from JFK by omission]...E. Howard Hunt, top Dulles operative and covert operations specialist, said by his own son to have been in Dallas; and Poppy Bush in Dallas - until he leaves town either the night before or the very day of.
Or Dulles, anyway. See Baker, p. 114: “After his dismissal as director of the CIA, Allen Dulles had written a book called The Craft of Intelligence — with the assistance of E. Howard Hunt.”
E. Howard Hunt, the spook’s ghostwriter. Small world.
So have others: Douglass, DiEugenio, Pease. The list goes on. We’re just partial to Russ. Everyone remembers their first taste.
Peter Dale Scott, The Road to 9/11, p. 114: “The CIA-backed resistance to the 1980s Soviet occupation of Afghanistan has been called ‘the largest covert operation in history.’ It was also in some respects the worst conceived.”
US mil aid to the Central Asian mooj (AKA Gladio/B) started with Carter: one strategic provocation to, as Zbignew Brzezinski put it, “give the Soviets their Vietnam.” Poppy’s cabal dialed that up to eleven. Remember the Stinger missiles definitely used to down TWA800? That was them.
Central America, not Nicaragua. The cabal ravaged countries from Tierra del Fuego to Tijuana. A taste of the Contras being launched south into Nicaragua from Honduras, if you have the stomach:
The US would ‘support’ the [contras]...primarily through non-Americans...[who] afforded the CIA ‘deniability’ and opened the door to such helpful allies as Argentina [then ruled by a neo-Nazi junta] (which could offer then-idle veterans of its own ‘dirty war’ as trainers, an arrangement worked out between CIA chief William Casey and Argentine Chief of Staff Leopoldo Galtieri) and Israel. As one Israeli observer put it, “When the contras were being created by the CIA, the United States turned to Israel.”
Contras were worse than narco-trafficking murderers. They were the neoimperialists’ joint territorial ambitions made flesh.
There’s a thousand examples to choose from on the Reagan-era Deep State’s mass murder shell game. We’re partial to this beauty from arch-racist Isra*l stenographer Gordon Thomas:
[Shimon Peres’s adviser on terrorism Amiram] Nir...found himself also working with Oliver North.
Soon the two men were hand in glove, wheeling and dealing across the globe. Along their travels they created a plan to bring the arms-for-hostages deal to a stunningly successful conclusion. They would fly to Tehran and meet the Iranian leadership and negotiate the release of the hostages.
...posing as technicians employed by Aer Lingus, the Irish national airline, Nir and North flew from Tel Aviv to Tehran on an Israeli aircraft painted with Aer Lingus’s distinctive shamrock logo. On board were ninety-seven TOW guided missiles and a pallet of Hawk missile spare parts. North...had somehow persuaded President Reagan to inscribe a Bible to be presented to Ayatollah Rafsanjani, a devout Muslim...Luckily the Iranians simply ordered the visitors out.
Soon after that batshit episode, Nir wore a recorder to his meeting with Poppy at the King David Hotel. Apparently he forgot the mute button: Nir blabbed he got Poppy on tape copping to illegal arms trading, then told Ari Ben-Menashe he was going to “blow Iran-Contra wide open” with a tell-all book.
You know what happened next. Nir died in a “plane crash.” (Or was disappeared and given a new life after radical plastic surgery. Thomas never disappoints.)
Not just the US: every player in the 80s money-drugs-murder ménage à trois. Thanks to a few choice deaths like Nir’s, that didn’t happen. Thomas, p. 341:
Nir[‘s]...testimony would be highly embarrassing not only for the Reagan administration, but also to Israel. He intended to show how easy it had been to sidestep all the usual checks and balances to run illegal operations that would also implicate a number of countries, including South Africa and Chile. He added he was planning a book that he believed would make him the greatest whistle-blower in the history of the State of Israel.
Undone in the exposition. Rookie mistake.
North’s the 9/11 Ur-Traitor. Without him breaking new ground on just how much Arms Control Act circumvention, drug-running, and assassination you really could get away with, Cheney and Rummy wouldn’t’ve dared. We’re talking Wayne Gretzky numbers - North lined up the titanic drug deals that ravaged Central America and the USA and ran a kill squad out of his DC office, same one that ultimately offed Barry Seal. See Hopsicker, p. 241 and passim:
...a Costa Rican legislative investigation that identified [Caspar Weinberger], along with Oliver North, John Hull, and former Ambassador to Costa Rica Lewis Tambs as personas non grata, for helping facilitate a massive drug and arms operation which corrupted that country’s society. [PG???]
When caught, members of the hit team [that killed Barry Seal] all tell their lawyers that once they got to the US their actions had been directed by a military officer who they all very quickly figured out to be National Security Council (NSC) staffer Lt. Colonel Oliver North...North, numerous sources stated without prompting, had been running an assassination squad right out of his White House office. [p. 372]
Scott, p. 184:
As developed in the mid-1980s by Oliver North in the White House, the [REX-84] plans called for not just the surveillance but also the potential detention of large numbers of American citizens. During the Iran-Contra hearings North was asked by the congressman Jack Brooks about his work on “a contingency plan in the event of emergency, that would suspend the American constitution.” The chairman, Democratic senator Daniel Inouye, ruled that this was a “highly sensitive and classified” matter, not to be dealt with in an open hearing.
Minimizing duds is just as crucial. Even minor ones can cost you. Officer Tippett was one; announcing WTC Building 7 collapsed twenty minutes ahead of schedule was another. There goes her Christmas bonus.
We could bore you to tears with our rinky-dink memos. The Cockburns’ Dangerous Liaison, on the other hand, is an absolute barn-burner on all things USrael in the 80s. Be warned, though: it’s gruesome. The Anglo-Zionist brutality in Guatemala’s called the Silent Genocide for a reason.
Believe it or not, that’s just the tip of the Eisen-berg. Ol’ Shaul owned “eighty or so companies,” according to 9/11/1978’s WaPo (don’t). His airplane company Aircraft Trading and Services Inc., AKA ATASCO, was rolled out in 1971 as a joint fifty:fifty venture between him and Israeli Aircraft Industries, the Isra*li Defense Ministry division that makes planes and missiles. Rather than deal with a messy public inquiry after the IAF’s Yom Kippur pooch-screwing, IAI sold its stake to Eisenberg - ta-da! No more scandal. In a 1978 internal assessment, the CIA confided national airline El Al, whose planes were mostly built by IAI (and its shipping sister company ZIM) “provide support to the intelligence and security community.” Just a fancy way of saying they’re Isra*li intel fronts.
All things Eisenberg are Isra*li intel. Isra*li intel is all things Eisenberg. That includes Atwell.
Particularly its Shahar/Mista’aravim unit of Arab Jews infiltrating Palestinian holdouts. Late 1947 Shahar surveilled Jaffe, Haifa, Nablus, Jerusalem, and Hebron. 2/28/1948 they killed thirty Arabs with a carbomb, the start of a practice Isra*l perfected in its 1981 false flag attacks on Lebanon. See Benny Morris, Israel’s Secret Wars: A History of Israel’s Secret Intelligence Services, pgs. 36-42.
Not a flourish. Shin Bet started using strongarm tactics and murder “extrajudicial killings” against Palestinians before Isra*l was even a state. It only got worse from there. Their calling card was boobytrapping anything not nailed down, like the notorious ‘Weights’ program:
"Sometimes a shepherd would lift the rock [that a cache of PLO weapons was under], or a couple on a romantic stroll in the countryside who got curious. More than a few innocent people were killed in incidents like that.”
‘Weights’ was canceled in 1979 after a shoddy bomb killed a Shin Bet. Bendor-Shalom resurrected it when he took over in 1980...with more bombs. Real stand-up guy. See Ronen Bergman, Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations, pgs. 281-283.
Milekowski’s Netanyahu’s old unit, specializes in airplane hijackings. They pretty much run Isra*l:
(We know what you’re wondering. Of course they were pivotal in 9/11. Silly goose!)
Crazy as that sounds, we’re still shortchanging it. Shalom’s “Skulls Dossier” implicated so many people it would have brought down the entire Isra*li government if he’d gone public with it. (Yes, he really called it that.) See Bergman, p. 295.
Like how Ed Snowden didn’t work for the NSA - he worked for Booz Allen Hamilton.
Ha’aretz 10/01/2010, “Israeli firm blasted for letting would-be plane bomber slip through.” Unfortunately ICTS is still ruining American lives: its new subsidiary AU10TIX handles ID verification for all sorts of e-platforms, including Twitter. Good chance every selfie you upload slides across Shlomo’s desk.
We’re not ~numerology~ conspiracists and never will be, but they’re absolutely dabbing on us here. There’s a fourth-wall-breaking number of pre-2001 9/11 synchronicities on top of the 9/11/1978 ATASCO article and 9/11/1997 Securacom IPO. For your consideration, in no particular order:
9/11/1973: Allende coup (perpetrated by Kissinger on behalf of his patron David Rockefeller, AKA “The Heart Thief”)
9/11/1980: Speaking of David. “According to a campaign log dated September 11, David Rockefeller and several of his aides who were dealing with the Iranian issue signed in to see Casey at his campaign headquarters...With Rockefeller were Joseph Reed, whom Rockefeller had assigned to coordinate U.S. policy toward the Shah, and Archibald Roosevelt, the former CIA officer who was monitoring events in the Persian Gulf for Chase Manhattan and who had collaborated with Miles Copeland on the Iran hostage-rescue plan.” (Scott, pgs. 90-91)
In other words, the 1980 October Surprise cabal held its inaugural soirée on 9/11.
9/11/1994*: Partial credit. Actually 9/12. An alleged sad-sack drunk flew his plane into the White House lawn at 1:49AM. So close!
Margie Burns, 2/15/2005 Washington Spectator, “Family Business at the Watergate.” We footnote and hyperlink a fuckton of documents. Too onerous to make hard copies of them all. You should make an exception for Burns’s exposé.
We’re doing Ali a bit of a disservice here. Homeboy wasn’t just a Green Beret and a mooj: he also masterminded the murder of Meir Kahane, got a sweetheart deal from Pat Fitzgerald for the embassy bombings, and informed for the FBI. See Scott, ch. 9.
Scott, pgs. 154 and 349fn54.
Fleming and his prep-school set have always been Isra*l’s bosom buddies. His rival John le Carré was so titillated by Isra*li black sites they gave him a guided tour:
[Brigitte] Schulz also left a strong impression on John le Carré, for whom his friend AMAN chief Gazit arranged a visit to the secret detention installation. [Bergman, p. 665]
Saudi Arabia joined later through a few different pipelines, most notoriously Saudi Mossad agent Adnan Khashoggi.
Poppy’s Undersecretary for Defense Policy and 2002 JPost Man of the year Paul Wolfowitz drew up plans to occupy Iraq indefinitely. It was called off when they were leaked to the NYT, but Wolfie didn’t let the idea go: he technically called for invading Iraq 9/26/2001, but really back in 1998.
The 1993 WTC bombing was dialectical: designed to make a Big Event like OKC or 9/11 possible in the future by moving the envelope on terror-mandated ‘security’ juuust enough. More importantly, it was an op. Without the FBI, the bomb wouldn’t have gone off:
Law-enforcement officials...planned to thwart the plotters by secretly substituting harmless powder for the explosives, an informer [Emad Salem] said...but the plan was called off by an FBI supervisor. [10/28/1993 New York Times]
Tip of the iceberg. Robert Friedman believes WTC93 patsy Ahmed Ahjaj was entrapped by Shin Bet, which would tie Isra*l even tighter to the 90s deep event escalation ladder. Still running down that microfilm.
Who’s Dov, you ask? Only Dov Zakheim, former Booz Allen Hamilton senior vice president! After defrauding the US taxpayer of a billion dollars for a jet that never materialized, from 1987-2001 Dov was CEO of SPC International, a subsidiary of System Planning Corporation. Its in-house fire safety outfit TriData Corp. handled the post-1993 bombing mapping of the WTC complex. Made ‘safety upgrades’ too. (SPC’s other specialty? Remote-control tech for 747s.) Wonder if that ever came in handy...
Eight of which the ‘hijackers’ visited in 2000 and 2001. Crowded itinerary, we’re sure.
In order:
7/30/1946 Palestine Post, “Official Communique No. 75:”
The Palmach carried out widespread attacks on the Palestinian Railway system...in [?156?] places. Three police [boats] were destroyed by explosives, two at Haifa and one at Jaffa. The same night, the Irgun Zvai Leumi attacked Lydda Station and Yards causing damage to three locomotives , the destruction of one signal box, and the burning of an engine shed. Several casualties were inflicted , including the death of one British Soldier. A further attempt was made on the same night by the Stern Group to blow up the Oil Refinery at Haifa.
10/17/22 Israel-Palestine News, “Israeli forces poisoned Palestinian wells during Israel’s founding war...and after,” and Salman Abu Sitta, Electronic Intifada, “Traces of Poison,” 3/4/2003:
Dr. W Seth Carus...lists the following subtitle, p.87: Case 1947-01: “Zionist” Terrorists 1947-1948.
Under this section, he mentions that the cholera outbreaks in Syria and Egypt received extensive attention in the international press. The first report about the cholera in Egypt was published in the Times of London on 26 September, 1947, p4. By the time the final cases appeared in January 1948, 10,262 people died.
Poisoning wells was just the start. Ever since 1948, Isra*l heavily invested in bioweapons specifically keyed to Arabs. According to (Armenian) Isra*li academic Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian it’s not limited to weapons: since 1997 Isra*l’s been selling permits for Big Pharma to experiment on Palestinian prisoners.
Received wisdom in Anglophone scholarship is the USSR, not the SUA, gave Israel’s paramilitaries the hardware to win in 1948. Bullshit. As ever, they’re telling half the story. We covered the US weapons smuggling here and will return to it in another joint, but long story short: without Jewish-American oligarchs buying literal aircraft carriers, Zion stays a fever dream.
Mostly through Materials for Israel, run buy the infamous Sonneborn Institute. Best source is The Time Has Come: The Role of Rudolf Sonneborn as Catalyst for Israel, but it’s hard to get - we had to have ours printed special.
Biggest chin-stroker here is the usually-authoritative Collateral Damage memo of 9/11 lore fame, p. 22: “The Eisenberg Group would at some point own almost 50% of Zim Shipping.” Other sources say it was the Isra*li government. Rose by any other name, as we’ve seen.
Miracle of miracles, all of the Clear Forest personnel made it out. No one was even hurt.
Not just moved out. Opened for business at their new headquarters.
Alice Lipowicz, Crain’s New York Business 4/9/2001, “Zim-American Israeli ships itself out of NY:” “Rising rent wasn’t an immediate concern [for ZIM] - several years remain on the lease.” [our emphasis] and FBI FOIA request, WTC tenants 1972-2001. Peep the highlighted portion:
60,000 square feet over fifty-four remaining months at $30/sq. ft, the going rate for Manhattan office space in 2001...lotta moolah to leave behind. Especially for sharp businessmen like ZIM.
Christopher Dinsmore, The Virginian 4/3/2001, “Firm’s Move to Norfolk will create 235 jobs; shipping company to relocate headquarters to Hampton Roads from New York City.” If this weren’t 9/11, it’d be speculative: turns out US Naval Intelligence headquarters in 2001 was also in Norfolk, about four miles from ZIM’s new stomping ground. February 2001 and again in April, the Norfolk area was graced by lead 9/11 ‘hijacker’ Mohammed Atta and his bodyman Marwan al-Shehhi. Small world.
Real Estate Weekly 4/25/2001, “Hunter is representative for Zim Relocation.”
New York Times 12/8/1996, ""Shipping Deal Promises Jobs."
Care of the dossier you never got around to perusing:
The most reliable response to the Post and Globe articles came from former Mossad chief Isser Harel, who in a Ma'ariv interview called the assertions of the document "malicious," "dliettantish," “distortions...but probably authentic.” ...Harel concluded publication of the document had been a "nightmare" for him.
Peter Tirschwell, The Journal of Commerce 10/18/2001, “Zim Opens New Headquarters.”
Don’t quote us, but it looked something like this.
Hinckley Jr was also placed in a mental hospital the CIA used for involuntary confinement of security risks https://kayej.substack.com/p/cia-connected-dc-hospital-chief-advised?r=2t45z&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true
"That’s by design. The 9/11 planes were misdirection. Perfectly suited for it: metal skybirds with awe-inspiring plumage. Slam those babies into the faces of American capitalism, everyone looks that-a-way. That’s right - watch my left hand. Pay no attention to the right one."
Wrong:
"There were three major securities brokers in the World Trade Center: Cantor Fitzgerald, Eurobrokers and Garbon Inter Capital.
On the morning of September 11, Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 right below the floors on which Cantor Fitzgerald was situated. Cantor Fitzgerald was the US largest securities dealer in the US and arguably the primary target. Shortly after that, a massive explosion went off just under the FBI offices in the North Tower on the 23rd floor, and Garbon Inter Capital on the 25th floor, and in the basement of Tower 1 as well. The explosion caused the 22nd through 25th floors above to collapse into an inferno. Fires were reported on the 22nd floor at 8:47.10 Shortly, thereafter, at 9:03, Flight 175 hit the South Tower right below the floors on which Euro Brokers was situated. (See Chart on page 42.) In all three cases, the explosive, fiery destruction consumed the offices in the several floors above.
At 9:37 Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, targeting one of the few offices that had been moved in the newly remodeled section of the Pentagon: the Office of Naval Intelligence.11 Agents of the Office of Naval Intelligence had been investigating the financial transactions which in this report are linked to securities being managed by those security dealers in the World Trade Center that were targeted. Fortunately, most other agencies had not yet been moved back into the targeted section of the Pentagon. 41% of the fatalities in the Twin Towers came from two companies that managed U.S. government securities: Cantor Fitzgerald and Eurobrokers.13 31% of the 125 fatalities in the Pentagon were from the Naval Command Center that housed the Office of Naval Intelligence. 39 of 40 Office of Naval Intelligence employees died. In the vaults beneath the World Trade Center Towers, any certificates for bonds were destroyed." @booty
