I know, it just seems like every time this whole thing comes up due to new evidence (or someone thinking they have a new thought on it or for whatever other reason) there are a few people that pop in and throw around info that most of us have known for 2 decades like it's something new.
It's a little frustrating, I know I spent years obsessing over this looking at anything and everything I could find. I have saved pages and screenshots of things that were scrubbed from the Internet over a decade ago. I remember sitting in front of my crappy Gateway PC for hours waiting for the release of the Pentagon "footage" that ended up being a few potato quality frames. I dunno. It's just irritating I suppose.
And holy hell, don't get me started on the teenagers and kids in their early 20s trying to say WE'RE the ones helping spread misinformation because apparently the entire thing never even happened. I think that beats out flat earth in my list of "well I'm just going to have to stop you there because I'm actually getting dumber listening to this."

To the point: we knew...all of the Intel in the beginning told us all but 2 hijackers were Saudi. We knew that day....I'm positive letter agencies reviewed them coming in, taking flight classes etc. We knew. They knew.
We ..they/them...ALLOWED 911 to happen.

Mohammed Atta, leader of the 9/11 hijack team , and several others lived and trained in the area around Sarasota Florida
It was here that took flying lessons and practiced martial arts to prepare for the hijackings. Atta also was in contact with a prominent Saudi who lived in a gated community .
In August 2001 the Saudi and his family bugged out - many have speculated on his knowledge of the plot and his ties to the Saudi government Was he a go between for Saudi intelligence and Bin Laden - keeping tabs on the group , maybe even funneling money to them
Abdulazzi al-Hijji and his wife, Anoud, and some small children lived in the upscale gated community of Prestancia in a three-bedroom home owned by Anoud’s father, Esam Ghazzawi, an interior decorator and financier who owned several properties in the United States. His wife, Deborah, was also listed as the owner.
Two weeks before the terrorist attacks, the family vanished, met up with Anoud’s father in Virginia and together they flew to Saudi Arabia. They had apparently left in a hurry, according to a senior administrator and security officer at Prestancia. After the attacks, the property’s security officer, also an adviser to the Sarasota Sheriff’s Office, had a gut feeling about the family’s sudden departure. Another Prestancia neighbor also sensed something suspicious and contacted the FBI
