Iran admits aiding 9/11 hijackers

a reply to: mekhanics

Larijani is a right-wing conservative iranian nutter. This guy made sh*t up. I can't believe people are still buying into this BS.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with boxcutters directed by a man on dialysis in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most heavily-defended airspace in the world, overpowering the passengers and the military combat-trained pilots on 4 commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course for over an hour without being molested by a single fighter interceptor.

These 19 hijackers, devout religious fundamentalists who liked to drink alcohol, snort coc aine, and live with pink-haired strippers, managed to knock down 3 buildings with 2 planes in New York, while in Washington a pilot who couldn’t handle a single engine Cessna was able to fly a 757 in an 8,000 foot descending 270 degree corskscrew turn to come exactly level with the ground, hitting the Pentagon in the budget analyst office where DoD staffers were working on the mystery of the 2.3 trillion dollars that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had announced “missing” from the Pentagon’s coffers in a press conference the day before, on September 10, 2001.

Luckily, the news anchors knew who did it within minutes, the pundits knew within hours, the Administration knew within the day, and the evidence literally fell into the FBI’s lap. But for some reason a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists demanded an investigation into the greatest attack on American soil in history.

The investigation was delayed, underfunded, set up to fail, a conflict of interest and a cover up from start to finish. It was based on testimony extracted through torture, the records of which were destroyed. It failed to mention the existence of WTC7, Able Danger, Ptech, Sibel Edmonds, OBL and the CIA, and the drills of hijacked aircraft being flown into buildings that were being simulated at the precise same time that those events were actually happening. It was lied to by the Pentagon, the CIA, the Bush Administration and as for Bush and Cheney…well, no one knows what they told it because they testified in secret, off the record, not under oath and behind closed doors. It didn’t bother to look at who funded the attacks because that question is of “little practical significance“. Still, the 9/11 Commission did brilliantly, answering all of the questions the public had (except most of the victims’ family members’ questions) and pinned blame on all the people responsible (although no one so much as lost their job), determining the attacks were “a failure of imagination” because “I don’t think anyone could envision flying airplanes into buildings ” except the Pentagon and FEMA and NORAD and the NRO.

The DIA destroyed 2.5 TB of data on Able Danger, but that’s OK because it probably wasn’t important.

The SEC destroyed their records on the investigation into the insider trading before the attacks, but that’s OK because destroying the records of the largest investigation in SEC history is just part of routine record keeping.

NIST has classified the data that they used for their model of WTC7’s collapse, but that’s OK because knowing how they made their model of that collapse would “jeopardize public safety“.

The FBI has argued that all material related to their investigation of 9/11 should be kept secret from the public, but that’s OK because the FBI probably has nothing to hide.

Osama Bin Laden lived in a cave fortress in the hills of Afghanistan, but somehow got away. Then he was hiding out in Tora Bora but somehow got away. Then he lived in Abottabad for years, taunting the most comprehensive intelligence dragnet employing the most sophisticated technology in the history of the world for 10 years, releasing video after video with complete impunity (and getting younger and younger as he did so), before finally being found in a daring SEAL team raid which wasn’t recorded on video, in which he didn’t resist or use his wife as a human shield, and in which these crack special forces operatives panicked and killed this unarmed man, supposedly the best source of intelligence about those dastardly terrorists on the planet. Then they dumped his body in the ocean before telling anyone about it. Then a couple dozen of that team’s members died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

This is the story of 9/11, brought to you by the media which told you the hard truths about JFK and incubator babies and mobile production facilities and the rescue of Jessica Lynch.

If you have any questions about this story…you are a bat#, paranoid, tinfoil, dog-abusing baby-hater and will be reviled by everyone. If you love your country and/or freedom, happiness, rainbows, rock and roll, puppy dogs, apple pie and your grandma, you will never ever express doubts about any part of this story to anyone. Ever.

This has been a public service announcement by: the Friends of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA, SEC, MSM, White House, NIST, and the 9/11 Commission. Because Ignorance is Strength.

You conspiracy nutters like to quote same debunked stuff ad nausem

In words of General Honore "BEING STUCK ON STUPID"

First - myth that Bin Laden was on dialysis was a rumor by Pakistani intelligence (no friend of US)

Second - that hijackers "Overpowered" passengers, like fighting everyone of them . It was a blitz style attack, where rushed the cockpit stabbing flight attendants (only ones on feet at time) over in seconds

Boxcutters is name given by media to knives Utility or tactical knives is better name

Here is list of knives purchased by hijackers, some pieces were recovered from Flight 93 crash

historycommons.org.../11_hijackers=otherHijackers&startpos=100

As for piloting skills - hijackers held pilot license with commercial ratings. Took courses in simulators on piloting a large jet aircraft. Hanjour, who hit Pentagon, took classes at Jet Tech in Mesa Az. His instructor signed off on making "TIGHT TURNS" so was capable of handling such an aircraft. Problem was in poor command of English which made flight instructors nervous and not want rent aircraft to him

As for "missing" 2.3 trillion was common knowledge for months before 9/11 - The Pentagon's byzantine mess of accounting systems, some 40 incompatible systems. made it impossible to reconcile (like balancing checkbook)
how the money was spent.

As for "heavily defended airspace" - were only 14 aircraft at 7 airbases over entire US.

As for "knowing who did it..." Bin Laden was well known for terrorists attacks against US - ie first WTC bombing in 1993,
African embassy attacks in 1998, USS COLE in 2000. Didn't take much to tag him as the perp

in my near-by alternate universe the 9-11 operation took place on the 9th of November but was still a core team of 8 Arab-Muslim fanatical pilots/co-pilots assisted by 2 or 3 jihadists to help seize/commandeer each commercial aircraft ...

the USA (plus nato & Israeli Intel) were still involved in making sure that the kamakizi jetcrafts make a crisis situation even worse, by planting extra explosives in strategic locations at the pre-assigned 'Targets'

.
Whether you believe what Iran says or not, Iran leadership is really low IQ'n it here coming out with these statements when the US is led by a tough President.

Them Ayatollah's are dumber than a box of rocks that they stone their women to death with.

Iran is run by Shia Islam sect known as the TWELVERS for mythical twelfth Iman who followed Mohammed

The Iman is in hiding waiting for time to reveal himself. Think of it as their version of "second coming"

Iman will come in response to world wide chaos (plenty of that around) Iran, by creating chaos, makes condition for the
the Iman to reveal himself to world

Provoking Trump may result in Iran becoming biggest lump of glass on planet

And you probably think that everything in your post is the Gospel.....and fail to realize there are four outright lies in the first paragraph. Then there the statements designed to confuse those unable to research on their own.

a reply to: Whoisjohngalt

It's horses*it backed up by lies and misleading statements. But, easy to understand why it still convinces people.

a reply to: cardinalfan0596

I don't think you read his entire post. Or understood the sarcasm behind it.

a reply to: firerescue

I'm just surprised no one on the left has accused Russia of 9/11 involvement - yet.

I guess I shouldn't give the party of desperation any ideas.

a reply to: mekhanics

If you are going to post someone's words shouldn't you at least give credit to the original writer?

Before Kennedy and the boob tube we had newspaper stories setting the world stage.
Iranian prime minister, Mohammed Mossadegh was vilified in the press for cooperating with Russia.
The demographics of exactly who "took comfort" at that time are historically well documented.

a reply to: Cauliflower

This is "straight from horse mouth" type of story where Iranian official admits "Yes we allowed Al Qaeda members
to travel through our county" and "we gave refuge to AL Qaeda fleeing Afghanistan following 9/11"

Its the post 9/11 which matter the most - before could claim "we didn't know what these guys were up to"

Afterwards has no excuse

a reply to: firerescue

I already told you it was the Little Mushroom People of Nova Scotia.

Prove me wrong!

a reply to: firerescue

There must have been some level of complicit involvement by the Iranian government in the famous 1953 coup.
That would have been still relatively fresh in the minds of the WTC project designers..
We have a lot of children on ATS so its only fair we provide some unfocused search criteria.
ATS was founded as a UFO observer community, teaching the use of prior art as a discovery resource should help.

That was the best 'in a nut shell' summary of 911 that I have ever read. Wish I could give you more than 1 star!

No way am I believing Iran had anything to do with it. Seems more like a set up to boot boy our way in with guns blazing. Surprised they haven't announced a Russian connection.

a reply to: CthulhuMythos

Best in a nutshell summary? Even though in the first paragraph there are several lies?

1. Man on dialysis....actually traces back to a story French intelligence placed in an attempt to prevent us from going into Iraq.

2. Cave fortress using a laptop and a satellite phone....OBL had NO operational control over the attack. But, it does help mislead/confuse those who love conspiracy theories.

3. Sophisticated penetration...not in the least. They hijacked airliners inside our airspace, not really sophisticated at all.

4. Heavily defended airspace....14 fighter jets for the continent. Vietnam, North Korea...both have more heavily defended airspace than we do. Our, is very LIGHTLY defended.

5. Military trained pilots...designed to make people think that they should have been able to unstrap and jump up out of their seats Rambo style to beat down any attacker. Not even close to the reality of being surprised in a confined space.


But sure, it is the "best" in a nutshell description.

Ctrl+C Ctrl+V doesn't really take that much effort

a reply to: mrthumpy
Explain your curt answer. What exactly are you referring to? Also on an iPad it does take considerable more effort.

Eta. You do know if you click on the name that is replied to that is highlighted it shows the post that is being replied to, right?

a reply to: cardinalfan0596
I think you missed the slight sarcasm in the original summary.
