The Mossad Connection to 9-11

British Broadsheet Links Mossad to 9/11

By Meil Mackay

There was ruin and terror in Manhattan, but, over the Hudson River in New
Jersey, a handful of men were dancing. As the World Trade Centre burned and
crumpled, the five men celebrated and filmed the worst atrocity ever
committed
on American soil as it played out before their eyes. Who do you think they
were? Palestinians? Saudis? Iraqis, even? Al-Qaeda, surely? Wrong on all
counts. They were Israelis - and at least two of them were Israeli
intelligence agents, working for Mossad, the equivalent of MI6 or the CIA.
Their discovery and arrest that morning is a matter of indisputable fact. To
those who have investigated just what the Israelis were up to that day, the
case raises one dreadful possibility: that Israeli intelligence had been
shadowing the al-Qaeda hijackers as they moved from the Middle East through
Europe and into America where they trained as pilots and prepared to
suicide-bomb the symbolic heart of the United States. And the motive? To
bind
America in blood and mutual suffering to the Israeli cause.
After the attacks on New York and Washington, the former Israeli Prime
Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked what the terrorist strikes would
mean
for USA-Israeli relations. He said: "It's very good." Then he corrected
himself, adding: "Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate
sympathy
[for Israel from Americans]." If Israel's closest ally felt the collective
pain of mass civilian deaths at the hands of terrorists, then Israel would
have an unbreakable bond with the world's only hyperpower and an effective
free hand in dealing with the Palestinian terrorists who had been murdering
its innocent civilians as the second Intifada dragged on throughout 2001.
It's not surprising that the New Jersey housewife who first spotted the five
Israelis and their white van wants to preserve her anonymity. She's insisted
that she only be identified as Maria. A neighbour in her apartment building
had called her just after the first strike on the Twin Towers. Maria grabbed
a
pair of binoculars and, like millions across the world, she watched the
horror
of the day unfold. As she gazed at the burning towers, she noticed a group
of
men kneeling on the roof of a white van in her parking lot. Here's her
recollection: "They seemed to be taking a movie. They were like happy, you
know . they didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was strange."
Maria jotted down the van's registration and called the police. The FBI was
alerted and soon there was a state-wide all points bulletin put out for the
apprehension of the van and its occupants. The cops traced the number,
establishing that it belonged to a company called Urban Moving. Police Chief
John Schmidig said: "We got an alert to be on the lookout for a white
Chevrolet van with New Jersey registration and writing on the side. Three
individuals were seen celebrating in Liberty State Park after the impact.
They
said three people were jumping up and down."
By 4pm on the afternoon of September 11, the van was spotted near New
Jersey's
Giants stadium. A squad car pulled it over and inside were five men in their
20s. They were hustled out of the car with guns levelled at their heads and
handcuffed. In the car was $4700 in cash, a couple of foreign passports and
a
pair of box cutters - the concealed Stanley Knife-type blades used by the 19
hijackers who'd flown jetliners into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon
just
hours before. There were also fresh pictures of the men standing with the
smouldering wreckage of the Twin Towers in the background. One image showed
a
hand flicking a lighter in front of the devastated buildings, like a fan at
a
pop concert.
The driver of the van then told the arresting officers: "We are Israeli. We
are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are
the
problem." His name was Sivan Kurzberg. The other four passengers were
Kurzberg's brother Paul, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari. The men
were dragged off to prison and transferred out of the custody of the FBI's
Criminal Division and into the hands of their Foreign Counterintelligence
Section - the bureau's anti-espionage squad.
A warrant was issued for a search of the Urban Moving premises in Weehawken
in
New Jersey. Boxes of papers and computers were removed. The FBI questioned
the
firm's Israeli owner, Dominik Otto Suter, but when agents returned to
re-interview him a few days later, he was gone. An employee of Urban Moving
said his co-workers had laughed about the Manhattan attacks the day they
happened. "I was in tears," the man said. "These guys were joking and that
bothered me. These guys were like, 'Now America knows what we go through.'"
Vince Cannistraro, former chief of operations for counter-terrorism with the
CIA, says the red flag went up among investigators when it was discovered
that
some of the Israelis' names were found in a search of the national
intelligence database. Cannistraro says many in the USA intelligence
community
believed that some of the Israelis were working for Mossad and there was
speculation over whether Urban Moving had been "set up or exploited for the
purpose of launching an intelligence operation against radical Islamists".
This makes it clear that there was no suggestion whatsoever from within
American intelligence that the Israelis were colluding with the 9/11
hijackers
- simply that the possibility remains that they knew the attacks were going
to
happen, but effectively did nothing to help stop them.
After the owner vanished, the offices of Urban Moving looked as if they'd
been
closed down in a big hurry. Mobile phones were littered about, the office
phones were still connected and the property of at least a dozen clients
were
stacked up in the warehouse. The owner had cleared out his family home in
New
Jersey and returned to Israel.
Two weeks after their arrest, the Israelis were still in detention, held on
immigration charges. Then a judge ruled that they should be deported. But
the
CIA scuppered the deal and the five remained in custody for another two
months. Some went into solitary confinement, all underwent two polygraph
tests
and at least one underwent up to seven lie detector sessions before they
were
eventually deported at the end of November 2001. Paul Kurzberg refused to
take
a lie detector test for 10 weeks, but then failed it. His lawyer said he was
reluctant to take the test as he had once worked for Israeli intelligence in
another country.
Nevertheless, their lawyer, Ram Horvitz, dismissed the allegations as
"stupid
and ridiculous". Yet USA government sources still maintained that the
Israelis
were collecting information on the fundraising activities of groups like
Hamas
and Islamic Jihad. Mark Regev, of the Israeli embassy in Washington, would
have none of that and he said the allegations were "simply false". The men
themselves claimed they'd read about the World Trade Centre attacks on the
internet, couldn't see it from their office and went to the parking lot for
a
better view. Their lawyers and the embassy say their ghoulish and sinister
celebrations as the Twin Towers blazed and thousands died were due to
youthful
foolishness.
Would friends of the USA jump for joy at the murder of thousands of its
citizens?
The respected New York Jewish newspaper, The Forward, reported in March
2002,
however, that it had received a briefing on the case of the five Israelis
from
a USA official who was regularly updated by law enforcement agencies. This
is
what he told The Forward: "The assessment was that Urban Moving Systems was
a
front for the Mossad and operatives employed by it." He added that "the
conclusion of the FBI was that they were spying on local Arabs", but the men
were released because they "did not know anything about 9/11".
Back in Israel, several of the men discussed what happened on an Israeli
talk
show. One of them made this remarkable comment: "The fact of the matter is
we
are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to
document the event." But how can you document an event unless you know it is
going to happen?
We are now deep in conspiracy theory territory. But there is more than a
little circumstantial evidence to show that Mossad - whose motto is "By way
of
deception, thou shalt do war" - was spying on Arab extremists in the USA and
may have known that September 11 was in the offing, yet decided to withhold
vital information from their American counterparts which could have
prevented
the terror attacks.
Following September 11, 2001, more than 60 Israelis were taken into custody
under the Patriot Act and immigration laws. One highly placed investigator
told Carl Cameron of Fox News that there were "tie-ins" between the Israelis
and September 11; the hint was clearly that they'd gathered intelligence on
the planned attacks but kept it to themselves. The Fox News source refused
to
give details, saying: "Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is
classified.
I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified
information." Fox News is not noted for its condemnation of Israel; it's a
ruggedly patriotic news channel owned by Rupert Murdoch and was President
Bush's main cheerleader in the war on terror and the invasion of Iraq.
Another group of around 140 Israelis were detained prior to September 11,
2001, in the USA as part of a widespread investigation into a suspected
espionage ring run by Israel inside the USA. Government documents refer to
the
spy ring as an "organised intelligence-gathering operation" designed to
"penetrate government facilities". Most of those arrested had served in the
Israeli armed forces - but military service is compulsory in Israel.
Nevertheless, a number had an intelligence background.
The first glimmerings of an Israeli spying exercise in the USA came to light
in spring 2001, when the FBI sent a warning to other federal agencies
alerting
them to be wary of visitors calling themselves "Israeli art students" and
attempting to bypass security at federal buildings in order to sell
paintings.
A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) report suggested the Israeli calls
"may well be an organised intelligence-gathering activity". Law enforcement
documents say that the Israelis "targeted and penetrated military bases" as
well as the DEA, FBI and dozens of government facilities, including secret
offices and the unlisted private homes of law enforcement and intelligence
personnel.
A number of Israelis questioned by the authorities said they were students
from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, but Pnina Calpen, a spokeswoman for
the Israeli school, did not recognise the names of any Israelis mentioned as
studying there in the past 10 years. A federal report into the so-called art
students said many had served in intelligence and electronic signal
intercept
units during their military service.
According to a 61-page report, drafted after an investigation by the DEA and
the USA immigration service, the Israelis were organised into cells of four
to
six people. The significance of what the Israelis were doing didn't emerge
until after September 11, 2001, when a report by a French intelligence
agency
noted "according to the FBI, Arab terrorists and suspected terror cells
lived
in Phoenix, Arizona, as well as in Miami and Hollywood, Florida, from
December
2000 to April 2001 in direct proximity to the Israeli spy cells".
The report contended that Mossad agents were spying on Mohammed Atta and
Marwan al-Shehi, two of leaders of the 9/11 hijack teams. The pair had
settled
in Hollywood, Florida, along with three other hijackers, after leaving
Hamburg
- where another Mossad team was operating close by.
Hollywood in Florida is a town of just 25,000 souls. The French intelligence
report says the leader of the Mossad cell in Florida rented apartments
"right
near the apartment of Atta and al-Shehi". More than a third of the Israeli
"art students" claimed residence in Florida. Two other Israelis connected to
the art ring showed up in Fort Lauderdale. At one time, eight of the
hijackers
lived just north of the town.
Put together, the facts do appear to indicate that Israel knew that 9/11, or
at least a large-scale terror attack, was about to take place on American
soil, but did nothing to warn the USA. But that's not quite true. In August
2001, the Israelis handed over a list of terrorist suspects - on it were the
names of four of the September 11 hijackers. Significantly, however, the
warning said the terrorists were planning an attack "outside the United
States".
The Israeli embassy in Washington has dismissed claims about the spying ring
as "simply untrue". The same denials have been issued repeatedly by the five
Israelis seen high-fiving each other as the World Trade Centre burned in
front
of them. Their lawyer, Ram Horwitz, insisted his clients were not
intelligence
officers. Irit Stoffer, the Israeli foreign minister, said the allegations
were "completely untrue". She said the men were arrested because of "visa
violations", adding: "The FBI investigated those cases because of 9/11."
Jim Margolin, an FBI spokesman in New York, implied that the public would
never know the truth, saying: "If we found evidence of unauthorised
intelligence operations that would be classified material." Yet, Israel has
long been known, according to USA administration sources, for "conducting
the
most aggressive espionage operations against the USA of any USA ally".
Seventeen years ago, Jonathan Pollard, a civilian working for the American
Navy, was jailed for life for passing secrets to Israel. At first, Israel
claimed Pollard was part of a rogue operation, but the government later took
responsibility for his work.
It has always been a long-accepted agreement among allies - such as Britain
and America or America and Israel - that neither country will jail a
"friendly
spy" nor shame the allied country for espionage. Chip Berlet, a senior
analyst
at Boston's Political Research Associates and an expert in intelligence,
says:
"It's a backdoor agreement between allies that says that if one of your
spies
gets caught and didn't do too much harm, he goes home. It goes on all the
time. The official reason is always visa violation."
What we are left with, then, is fact sullied by innuendo. Certainly, it
seems,
Israel was spying within the borders of the United States and it is equally
certain that the targets were Islamic extremists probably linked to
September
11. But did Israel know in advance that the Twin Towers would be hit and the
world plunged into a war without end; a war which would give Israel the
power
to strike its enemies almost without limit? That's a conspiracy theory too
far, perhaps. But the unpleasant feeling that, in this age of spin and
secrets, we do not know the full and unadulterated truth won't go away.
Maybe
we can guess, but it's for the history books to discover and decide.

City of London Zionists  -- a report
http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=1960
Hi there Henry {Makow}.
I live in Stoke Newington in North London here in the UK. I also work in the
Square Mile in the City of London. I recently read the article you wrote on
the financial oligarchy in the Windsor Illuminati City of London and how
Zionism is behind the institutions such as the Bank of England and the
Corporation of London: http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=1885.
Everything you wrote in that article was 100% correct. The whole of London
has
rapidly become a living hell for heterosexual men in the past 10 years or
so.
If you do not like 'gay culture' people and the media think there is
something
wrong with you.
In the Square Mile all financial business is dealt with by an Elitist clique
of White Anglo Saxon Protestant English Aristocratic and Upper Class people
as
well as very well-to-do Lubovitchnum Chasidic Jewish business men. There is
a
huge cocaine and alcohol abuse problem in the Square Mile as well. Stock
Brokers are known to openly deal cocaine in such prestigious places as the
Institute of London Underwriters, (ILU), the Stock Exchange and Lloyds of
London. The intensity of homosexuality after hours in the pubs, bars and
clubs
is extraordinary.
Also, most of the Square Miles buildings are of Greco-Roman architectural
design and are adorned with Phoenixes, Molechian Owls, Serpents, Dragons,
Winged Serpents, Gargoyles, Obelisks, Pyramids, Eagles, Magen Davids and
Pentagrams. Here in the heartland of the Windsor Illuminati Scottish Rite
Freemasonry amongst the British Establishment is rife.
The City of London Police are totally corrupted and i have witnessed first
hand how corrupt and 'unlawful' their Police Constables behaviour can be.
Patriarchal or male energy is dominant and the City of London is a
phallocentric, mercantile district that oozes a clearly homosexual and
homocentric message out into the world. It is interesting to note that the
symbol of the Corporation of London is a bipedal Reptilian carrying a Saint
Georges shield. The shield has a white background with a red cross. The
white
represents male semen and the red cross represents male blood. It is
interesting also to note that Saint George slayed the Dragon, yet here the
Dragon lives and is so victorious and dominating he carries Saint Georges
own shield.
It therefore feels as if the Zionists and the British Establishment are
attempting to program people with the notion that Lucifer is really in
control
over goodness and morality and that greed and the love of money are the only
truth we are supposed to live by and that homocentric occultic power will be
used to break down the family unit and healthy, heterosexual men and women.
I could be wrong on some of these points but I hope you find them of some
interest. Once again, thank you for giving me such an insight into how our
world is be psychological programmed by the Elitist and Fascist madmen who
call themselves 'leaders of the free world'.
"Bob"
