A New 9/11 Investigation

Could It All Be Too Good To Be True?

 A Rat In The Wood Pile
Maintaining Hijackers And Box-Cutters As The Official Story

Conspiracy theory: Did 19 Saudi hijackers with box-cutters defeat the entire U.S. air defense system?

As the old saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for." The 9/11 Truth movement has been calling for a new investigation of 9/11 for a decade now. If the John F Kennedy assassination case is any indicator, the movement will more than likely get its wish, albeit maybe not the real investigation that they have been calling for.

Former U.S. Senator Bob Graham, the Florida Democrat and former chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence during 9/11, who also helped co-chair the Congressional Joint Inquiry into the attacks, said the FBI never shared key pertinent details of the investigation with him, nor with other members of the Congressional Committee. Graham alleges that he knew nothing of a wealthy young Saudi couple who were said to have fled their home in a gated community in Sarasota, Florida, shortly before 9/11, leaving behind all of their possessions. He claims that his Congressional commission was not privy to specific knowledge of Saudi involvement.

Seriously? Even when the hijackers were alleged to be Saudis?

So much for being the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

This is the same Bob Graham who just happened to be meeting with Pakistani ISI director General Ahmed on the morning of 9/11, the man who reportedly had wired $100,000 in alleged operation money to Mohamed Atta before 9/11. (Porter Goss was also in attendance during that meeting on 9/11.)

Much to the delight of the 9/11 Truth movement, Graham is now calling on President Obama to open a new 9/11 investigation, however, when all is said and done, this could very well be to the dismay of the truth movement.

The John F. Kennedy investigation took years before it ever received a second look following the horribly flawed Warren Commission. The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was established in 1976 to investigate the JFK assassination, along with the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination. The Committee investigated until 1978. In 1979 they issued their final report, concluding that President Kennedy was more than likely assassinated by a conspiracy, but that was the extent of it. Nothing more was done. No ensuing criminal investigation, nor any prosecutions ever followed.

So much for a follow-up investigation.

This is why we should all be concerned about a new 9/11 investigation. The truth movement doesn't just need a new investigation. It needs a real investigation, with prosecutions to follow.

After all, the 9/11 Commission took President George W. Bush 441 days to form. Red flag number one. The commission was highly questioned right from the start.

Let's review...

Bush originally nominated Henry Kissinger to head the commission, an appointment that did not set well with 9/11 family members. As it turned out, Kissinger and his legal firm had a close business relationship with the bin Laden family. That was red flag number two.

Red flag number three came when former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean was named as a co-chair of the commission, in Kissinger's place. It was then quickly discovered that Kean sat on the board of directors of a company having business dealings with financier Khalid bin Mahfouz. Kean was a director of Amerada Hess Corporation, which did business with a company that was owned in part by Mahfouz, Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia.

The real kicker was that Mahfouz's sister just so happened to be married to Osama bin Laden. This is officially called "conflict of interest."

George W. Bush also had business ties with Mahfouz during his Arbusto Oil days. Bush and bin Mahfouz were also notoriously implicated in the Bank of Commerce International scandal.

The next affront to a proper investigation came with the naming of the commission members. Five of those ten members just happen to be members of the Council on Foreign Relations, as well as its Director, Phillip Zelikow. The commission co-chairs, Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean, are also CFR. In all, six members of the 9/11 Commission are affiliated to the CFR.

This is something which concerns many, since the CFR is often linked to the new world order agenda, for which 9/11 has been a major catalyst. For those keeping track, this would be red flag number four.

It should be noted that another CFR member also just happens to be Bob Graham himself. That could be considered a whole new red flag in itself.

Is another cover-up in the works?

I think you can start to see some of the problems inherent with the 9/11 Commission.

One original member from the commission saw right from the start that its effort was not about a thorough investigation, as much as it was about a thorough cover-up.

Former Georgia Senator Max Cleland, resigned from the commission saying, "Bush is scamming America." After the commission gave in to limited access of CIA reports to the White House, reports that might have indicated advance knowledge on the part of the Bush-Cheney administration, Cleland remarked, "This is a scam. It's disgusting. America is being cheated."

A decade later, we have Bob Graham calling for a new investigation. The timing of the recent call is very curious. It came quite coincidentally just three days before the ten year anniversary of 9/11. It also comes at a time when arguably one of the most powerful bullets in the 9/11 truth arsenal has been fired, the release of the damning new documentary "Explosive Evidence: The Experts Speak Out," produced by the 1,500 Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

Add to this the fact that 81% of Americans now believe that the U.S. government is hiding something in regards to 9/11. So It would appear damage control is in order, PDQ, thus the impetus to clear up some loose ends with another sham investigation.

Democracy Now interviewed Graham, yet somehow they missed some very pertinent questions in the process, like how could we revisit the alleged Saudi link, when it has already been proven that the hijacker list is very questionable and quite suspect in itself?

For instance... Mohamed Atta's father said that his son had called him the day after 9/11, but that he hasn't heard from him since. Also, at least five to six terrorists have been verified as still being alive after 9/11. Some press reports have identified as many as 9 of the 19 alleged hijackers as being alive and well in the Middle East.

So how was it that our intelligence services were able to immediately identify these alleged middle-eastern hijackers when their names were not on the official passenger lists?

Remember the alleged hijacker passport that amazingly survived the huge fireball and was found conveniently on the sidewalk below the world trade center, amidst the tons of rubble and debris? As it turns out, this alleged hijacker was also found to still be alive, so a huge question has loomed; if this person was not involved, who went out of their way to fake that passport and then make sure it was found on the sidewalk?

Why target those particular identities? Who had a vested interest in setting up Middle-Eastern Muslims as alleged hijackers?

So the outstanding question is, if these Saudis are still alive, who actually pulled off the 9/11 attacks?

Many suspect that these alleged Saudi hijackers were nothing more than patsies.

And so, with the call from Graham for a renewed 9/11 investigation, it would appear that a concerted effort is about to be made to re-connect the Saudi hijacking link with the public, along with its asinine box-cutter theory.

Having learned from the President Kennedy assassination, one could speculate that no matter where a new investigation might possibly lead, those who are responsible for the 9/11 attacks have already set up their alibi, as well as a potential fallback position (IE: Larry "Lee Harvey" Silverstein).

Arguably the most concerning comment from Graham came when he was asked by Democracy Now, who should oversee a new 9/11 investigation. Mr. Graham stated unequivocally that the White House is the sole authority that should run a new 9/11 investigation.

Seriously?

Excuse me for pointing out the obvious, but we've ridden that horse already.

This outrageous comment from Graham should be yet another red flag in the 9/11 merry-go-round.

So don't get too excited about CFR member Graham calling for a new investigation of 9/11. The whole effort may very well be nothing more than round two of a designed disinformation campaign to knock down that 81 percent who feel the U.S. government is hiding something, and to cover the tracks of those that are truly guilty for the 9/11 attacks.

Given the source calling for a new inquiry, I'm a little skeptical about the intent.

Once again, be careful what you wish for.
