9/11 Truth. September 11, 2001. The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) Was Born/By Prof Michel Chossudovsky

It was a quarter of a Century ago: 

Today’s younger generation is not aware of the historical, social and geopolitical implications of the September 11, 2001 attacks

 The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) was born.

September 11, 2026: My thoughts and my heart are with the victims of the 9/11 attacks and their families. Not to mention the millions of victims of the numerous US-NATO-sponsored wars under the helm of the “Global War on Terrorism.”9/11 was instrumental in modifying the nature of US-NATO led wars. 

This text is related to the video entitled: Revealing 9/11 Truth: What Happened on September 11, 2001 (see below). It goes much further in the analysis and documentation.

A few hours after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, the Bush administration concluded without supporting evidence, that “Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organisation were prime suspects”. 

Secretary of State Colin Powell called the attacks “an act of war” and President Bush confirmed in an evening televised address to the Nation that he would “make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them”.

“I think we will show when we get attacked like this, we are terrible in our strength and in our retribution.”

 

 

 

.

.

Prime suspect in the New York and Washington terrorist attacks, was Saudi born Osama bin Laden who was recruited in 1979 during the Soviet-Afghan war “under the auspices of the CIA, to fight Soviet invaders”. “It was all for a good cause”.

Remember Operation Cyclone:  The code name for the CIA “program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1992” The Al Qaeda Mujahideen including  Osama Bin Laden and his recruits were categorized by President Reagan as “Freedom Fighters”.

What Happened on September 11, 2001

“I think we will show when we get attacked like this, we are terrible in our strength and in our retribution.”

At eleven o’clock, on the morning of September 11, the Bush administration had already announced that Al Qaeda under the helm of Osama bin Laden was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon. This assertion was made prior to the conduct of an indepth police investigation. 

CIA Director George Tenet stated that bin Laden has the capacity to plan “multiple attacks with little or no warning.”

.

.

That same evening at 9.30 pm, a “War Cabinet” was formed integrated by a select number of top intelligence and military advisors. 

And at 11.00 pm, at the end of that historic meeting at the White House, the “War on Terrorism” was officially launched.

The decision was announced to wage war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in retribution for the 9/11 attacks.

The following morning on September 12th, the Atlantic Council meeting in Brussels invoked for the first time in its history “Article 5 of the Washington Treaty – its collective defence clause” declaring the 9/11 attacks on  the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon “to be an attack against all NATO members.”

Statement of NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson

 

Robertson is a “Pack of Lies”. 

• There was no evidence of an attack by a foreign power.
• There were no Afghan planes in the skies of New York on the morning of 9/11.

In chorus, the US media was calling for a military intervention against Afghanistan. 

Barely four weeks later, on the 7th of October 2001, Afghanistan was bombed and invaded by US-NATO troops.

It was categorized as “A Just War”. The Greenlight to invade Afganistan was confirmed by NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson on October 4, 2001.  (see Video below)

Osama bin Laden was said to have coordinated the attacks, with the military support of an unnamed foreign power. 

Where was Osama on the Morning of 9/11?

He Wasn’t in New York coordinating the attacks against the WTC. 

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld repeatedly claimed in the wake of 9/11 that the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden remained unknown:

According to Rumsfeld: “It is like looking for a needle in a stack of hay”.

What Utter Nonsense.

 

According to Dan Rather in a special CBS News report (which was broadcast several months later)  Osama bin Laden had been admitted to a Pakistani military hospital in Rawalpindi on the 10th of September, one day before the tragic events of 9/11.

Video: Dan Rather. CBS Report

Was Osama coordinating the attacks on America on his cell phone from his hospital bed in Rawalpindi?

Visibly, he  did not have the capacity to plan “multiple attacks with little or no warning.” as claimed by CIA Director Tenet.

His whereabouts were known by both the Pakistani and US authorities, not to mention Donald Rumsfeld

It is fairly well established that Al Qaeda could not have been behind the 9/11 attacks. In bringing down the WTC buildings.

This is confirmed by the analysis of Richard Gage and Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

The WTC towers were brought down through controlled demolition.  

Al Qaeda did not have the technical capabilities of bringing down the WTC buildings 1, 2 and 7.

The Collapse of WTC Building Seven, the Soloman Brothers Building  was announced by the BBC 20 minutes before it Happened. (Foreknowledge?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

Building Seven was brought down, there was foreknowledge, the announcement was 20 minutes prior to its collapse through controlled demolition.

 

On the Morning of 9/11, “Poppy” George H. W. Bush Meets Shafiq bin Laden

While George W. Bush describes Osama bin Laden  as a Terrorist Mastermind, A “Bad Guy”, he fails to acknowledge the longstanding relationship between the Bin Laden and Bush familiies.

One day before the 9/11 attacks, as well as on the morning of 9/11, the Dad of the sitting President of the United States of America, George Herbert Walker Bush was meeting none other than Shafiq bin Laden, the brother of the alleged terror mastermind Osama bin Laden.

On the day Osama Bin Laden’s men allegedly attacked America, the brother of  the alleged terrorist  Shafiq bin Laden and the Dad of POTUS GWB were meeting at the Carlyle Group business event at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington.

This was not made public on September 11, 2001.

.

 

 

 

It was a routine business meeting on September 10-11, no conflict of interest, no relationship to the 9/11 attacks which allegedly were carried out on the orders of Shafiq’s brother Osama Bin Laden,

No FBI investigation into the links between the Bush and bin Laden families.

A timely business meeting on September 10-11 at the Ritz Carlton with Osama’s brother disrupted by the 9/11 attacks: pure coincidence, totally unrelated to the 9/11 attacks.

What was GWB’s Dad “Poppy” doing with Osama’s brother Shafiq on September 10?

Normally, under established rules of police investigation, both Shafiq bin Laden and the U.S. president’s Dad George Herbert Walker Bush would have been remanded in custody for police questioning and in all likelihood, Shafiq bin Laden would have been arrested as a potential suspect.

But that did not happen.

Media coverup:  The Economist report came out almost 2 years later in late June 2003. There was no media coverage of the Shafiq bin Laden – G. Herbert W. Bush meeting in September 2001. The event was known, yet mainstream media editors decided not to provide coverage of this timely 9/11 encounter at the Ritz Carleton.

On the evening of September 11, 2001, president George W. Bush pronounced a historic speech in which he defined the relationship between “terrorists” and “state sponsors of terrorism”:

“The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I’ve directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice.

We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. (emphasis added)

Let’s be clear as to what happened: the Dad of the sitting president of the US was “harboring” (to use GWB’s expression) the brother of  the alleged terror mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

Americans were led to believe that the decison to go to war had been taken on the spur of the moment, on the evening of September 11, in response to the 9/11 attacks and their tragic consequences.

This war was planned well in advance. Military specialists will confirm: you cannot plan a war in a matter of four weeks.

August 27, 2001: Congressional Delegation to Islamabad

.

Was the Afghan Government Aware that a War against Afghanistan was in the Pipeline 

.

The Answer is YES.  

On August 27, 2001, barely two weeks prior to 9/11,  a Congressional delegation led by Senator Bob Graham, Representative Porter Goss and Senator Jon Kyl was dispatched to Islamabad for consultations with the upper echelons of the Pakistani government.

Conversations were hosted by President Musharraf with the participation of Pakistan’s military and intelligence brass including the head of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) General Mahmoud Ahmad. (image left).

It is worth noting that Pakistan was directly involved in the Afghanistan War Theater following the October 7, 2001 Invasion and bombing of Afghanistan

Of significance, the Afghan ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef  had  been invited by President Musharaf to meet members of the US Congressional delegation led by Senator Bob Graham and Rep Porter Goss.

While we were not privy to the detailed conversations, a report by Agence France Press confirmed that:

Ambassador Abdul Salam Zaeef (image right)

“assured the US delegation [on behalf of the Afghan government] that the Taliban would never allow bin Laden to use Afghanistan to launch attacks on the US or any other country.” (AFP, August 28, 2001)

Agence France Presse, August 28, 2001. 

“Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf Tuesday met Bob Graham, chairman of the US Senate select committee on intelligence, to discuss regional security and Afghanistan, the foreign ministry said.

It said Graham was leading a three-member Congressional delegation including Jon Kyl and Porter Goss which was in Islamabad to review aspects of Pakistan-US relations. “The discussions focused on various aspects of Pakistan-US bilateral relations,” the ministry said in a statement.

“Latest developments in Kashmir and other issues of regional peace and security as well as current developments in Afghanistan were also discussed,” it said.

Meanwhile a delegation of US Congressional staff met the ambassador to Pakistan from Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban militia, Abdul Salam Zaeef, a report said.

The Afghan Islamic Press reported that the staffers discussed the extradition of Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire living in Afghanistan who is wanted in the United States for allegedly plotting twin US embassy bombings in Africa in 1998.

“The two sides discussed Osama bin Laden and Zaeef assured the delegation that the Taliban government wanted to settle the issue through negotiations,” the report said, quoting an embassy spokesman.

“Zaeef assured US delegation that the Taliban would never allow bin Laden to use Afghanistan to launch attacks on the US or any other country.”

Pakistan is one of only three countries which recognises the Taliban Islamic regime and Washington hopes Islamabad will use its influence in Kabul to secure bin Laden’s extradition.

But Musharraf insists the Taliban cannot be influenced and the matter is a bilateral problem which should be solved through talks between Kabul and Washington.

The meetings coincide with US, German and Australian government efforts to negotiate the release of eight of their nationals who have been detained in Afghanistan for allegedly preaching Christianity.”

Senator Bob Graham and Rep Porter Goss Return to Washingon in early September 2001

Upon their return to Washington, did Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss advise the Bush White House regarding the statement of Ambassador Abu Saleef Zaeef that the Taliban Afghan government would ensure that Afghanistan would not under any circumstances act in support or on behalf of Osama Bin Laden?

The Answer is No.

The Lie not only Prevails. The Lie is so to speak “shared” by the White House, The Pentagon and U.S. Intelligence. 

They did not “advise” President Bush. Nor did they convey the statement of Ambassador Abu Saleef Zeef to NATO’s  Secretary General Lord Roberston who accused Afganistan for having attacked America on 9/11. (see video below)

The two key figures behind this wave of propaganda and disinformation were (former) Senator Bob Graham, who led the joint inquiry of the Senate and the House intelligence committees together with (former) Rep. Porter Goss, a career CIA official who was subsequently appointed Director of National Intelligence (DNI) by the Bush administration.

The War against Afghanistan scheduled for October 7, 2001 Announced by NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson 

 

.

October 7,  2001. What was the Main Objective of the U.S. NATO War against Afghanistan.

.

Afghanistan is the producer of more than 90% of illegal opiods Worldwide including heroin. It’s billions and billions of dollars for both the financial elites as well as organized crime, not to mention the process of money laundering in several regions of the World.

The trade in opiods was protected by the U.S. military-intelligence apparatus.

In 2001, the production of opium poppy had collapsed by over 90% (see graph below)

 

 

The unspoken objective on the part of US-NATO was to restore the trade in narcotics to its historical level on behalf of Big Money and Organized Crime. 

 

 

No Travel Ban for the Bin Ladens

The presence of members of the Bin Laden family meeting up with the father of the president of the United States was hushed up and 13 members of the bin Ladens including Shafiq were flown out of the US on September 19, 2001 in a plane chartered by the White House.

The Global War on Terrorism is Born

On the day following the departure of the bin Ladens, President Bush delivered an address to a joint session of the House and the Senate (September 20, 2001), in which he stated unequivocally his administration’s intent to “pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism”, with no exceptions (e.g. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan)

“We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest.

And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make.

Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.)

From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime [state sponsor of terrorism]. President George W. Bush, 20 September 2001 (emphasis added)

 

 

What President Bush fails to acknowledge in his September 20, 2001 presentation is the long standing relationship between the Bush and Bin Laden families.

in a bitter irony, the Al Qaeda Islamists were recruited by the CIA. The official narrative. “They went against us”.
