The Mysterious Saudi Family the FBI Protected: 9/11 Changed NOTHING (Except Rise in Islamo-Pandering)
The 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks on America ten years ago changed nothing . . . except for Muslims. We are less safe than we were on 9/10 and before. And, for Muslims, it was their greatest victory in history. As I’ve said on this site many times before, it was a victory well beyond the 3,000 Americans who were mass murdered in the name of Islam by Muslims. It was the public relations victory, grievance theater, and immigration/special rights/uber-pandering grab by Muslims that keeps on giving, ten years later. And Muslims can also count on an ever-pandering and incompetent set of federal law enforcement agencies who kiss Islamic ass at every turn. That especially includes the Forever Buttkissing Islam, Fastidiously Burning Israel, Famous But Incompetent FBI. Ten years later, it still doesn’t share information with other agencies and looks the other way on real Islamic terrorists, while creating and entrapping less harmful ones.
Now, the Miami Herald reveals 9/11 hijacker ties to Sarasota Muslims that the FBI chose to keep under wraps all these years later, jeopardizing your and my national security. Because, hey, our lives are not as important as kissing Muslim ass. Get used to it. The bending over for the crescent will only get worse.
Just two weeks before the 9/11 hijackers slammed into the Pentagon and World Trade Center, members of a Saudi family abruptly vacated their luxury home near Sarasota, leaving a brand new car in the driveway, a refrigerator full of food, fruit on the counter — and an open safe in a master bedroom.
In the weeks to follow, law enforcement agents not only discovered the home was visited by vehicles used by the hijackers, but phone calls were linked between the home and those who carried out the death flights — including leader Mohamed Atta — in discoveries never before revealed to the public.
Ten years after the deadliest attack of terrorism on U.S. soil, new information has emerged that shows the FBI found troubling ties between the hijackers and residents in the upscale community in southwest Florida, but the investigation wasn’t reported to Congress or mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report.
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, the Florida Democrat who co-chaired the congressional Joint Inquiry into the attacks, said he should have been told about the findings, saying it “opens the door to a new chapter of investigation as to the depth of the Saudi role in 9/11. … No information relative to the named people in Sarasota was disclosed.”
The U.S. Justice Department, the lead agency that investigated the attacks, refused to comment, saying it will discuss only information already released.
The Saudi residents then living at the stylish home, Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii and his wife Anoud, could not be reached, nor could the then-owner of the house, Esam Ghazzawi, who is Anoud’s father. The house was sold in 2003, records show.
For Graham, the connections between the hijackers and residents raise questions about whether other Saudi nationals in Florida knew of the impending attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.
The FBI investigation began the month after 9/11 when Larry Berberich, senior administrator and security officer of the gated community known as Prestancia, reported a bizarre event that took place two weeks before the hijackings of four passenger jets that originated in Boston, Newark and Washington.
The couple, living with their small children at the three-bedroom home at 4224 Escondito Circle, had left in a hurry in a white van, probably on Aug. 30.
They abandoned three recently registered vehicles, including a brand-new Chrysler PT Cruiser, in the garage and driveway.
After 9/11, Berberich said he had “a gut feeling” the people at the home may have had something to do with the attacks, prompting the FBI’s probe that would eventually link the hijackers to the house.
As an advisor to the Sarasota County sheriff — Berberich was with the group that received President Bush during his aborted visit to a Sarasota school on the morning of 9/11 — he alerted sheriff’s deputies. Patrick Gallagher, one of the Saudis’ neighbors, had become suspicious even earlier, and had fired off an email to the FBI on the day of the attacks. . . .
The counterterrorism officer, who requested his name not be disclosed, said agents went on to make troubling discoveries: Phone records and the Prestancia gate records linked the house on Escondito Circle to the hijackers.
In addition, three of the four future hijackers had lived in Venice — just 10 miles from the house — for much of the year before 9/11. Atta, the leader, and his companion Marwan al-Shehhi, had been learning to fly small airplanes at Huffman Aviation, a flight school on the edge of the runway at Venice Municipal Airport.
A block away, at Florida Flight Training, accomplice Ziad Jarrah was also taking flying lessons. All three obtained their pilot licenses and afterwards, in the months that led to 9/11, spent much of their time traveling the state, including stints in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale and Delray Beach, among other areas. . . .
The final 28-page section of the Inquiry’s report, which deals with “sources of foreign support for some of the Sept. 11 hijackers,” was entirely blanked out. It was kept secret from the public on the orders of former President George W. Bush and is still withheld to this day, Graham said.
This in spite of the fact that Graham and his Republican counterpart, U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, both concluded the release of the pages would not endanger national security.
The grounds for suppressing the material, Graham believes, were “protection of the Saudis from embarrassment, protection of the administration from political embarrassment … some of the unknowns, some of the secrets of 9/11.”
I know of another Muslim group of families in South Florida who also were involved in financing Al-Qaeda from the early days. And HAMAS, too. They remain free and their check-cashing businesses remain open. And they are laughing at us and the joke called the FBI . . . all the way to the bank (and the bomb factory).
You MUST read the rest of this story. Same ‘ole, same ‘ole with the FBI. Forever keeping valuable and important information away from other investigators because American lives are worth far less to them than politically-correct pandering to the halal crowd.
Like I said, for us nothing has changed since 9/11, other than that we are less safe. The situation for Muslims has improved markedly. How long until Dar Al-Harb USA is Dar Al-Islamerica? Not too long.
Vermin and scum. No surprise here.
