The days and hours leading up to 9-11 were
marked by a series of chilling warnings about impending terrorist plots
involving hijacked commercial airplanes. It's worth mentioning at this point
that months before 9-11, the US had already informed some of its allies
of plans to go to war in Afghanistan. On June 26, 2001, News
Insight/India Reacts, an Indian public affairs magazine, wrote:
"India and Iran will "facilitate" US and Russian
plans for "limited military action" against the Taliban if the
contemplated tough new economic sanctions don't bend Afghanistan's
fundamentalist regime. Indian officials say that India and Iran will only
play the role of "facilitator" while the US and Russia will combat the
Taliban from the front with the help of two Central Asian countries,
Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, to push Taliban lines back to the 1998 position
50 km away from Mazar-e-Sharief city in northern Afghanistan. Military
action will be the last option though it now seems scarcely avoidable."

The story of US military involvement in Afghanistan was
reported months before 9-11 in respected Indian
(2) and British
(3) publications but it was never reported in the US media. With the
military plans already in motion since at least June of 2001, all that was
needed was for an "incident" to take place to justify the US going to "war
against Terrorism" in Afghanistan. Here are just a few of the advance
warnings which were brought to light in the aftermath of 9-11:
The London Daily Telegraph reported on September
16, 2001:
"The Telegraph has learned that two senior experts
with Mossad, the Israeli military intelligence service, were sent to
Washington in August to alert the FBI and CIA to the existence of a cell
of as many as 200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation. They
had no specific information about what was being planned but linked the
plot to Osama Bin Laden and told American officials that there were strong
grounds for suspecting Iraqi involvement."
(4) (emphasis added)
Do you smell a "false flag" operation in the works? How is
possible that the Mossad knew of the existence of these 200 terrorists but
could not name or locate a single one of them for us? And how convenient
for Israel that Saddam Hussein should be "in cahoots" with Osama Bin Laden,
despite the fact that Bin Laden and Hussein hate each other!
The Franfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, (FAZ) one of
Germany's most respected newspapers, quoted German intelligence sources who
said that the Echelon electronic spy network gave US and Israeli
intelligence agencies several warnings that suicidal hijack attacks were
being planned against US targets.(5)
Echelon is capable of monitoring all electronic communication in the
world. Utilizing 120 satellites, Echelon is designed to suck up
enormous amounts of data by using keyword search techniques to sift through
the data.
(6)
The
San Francisco Chronicle reported on September 12 that San Francisco
Mayor and former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown was advised eight
hours before the attacks that he should be careful about flying on 9-11. (7)
In its September 24, 2001 issue, Newsweek broke
this startling revelation:
"Three weeks ago there was another warning that a
terrorist strike might be imminent... On September 10, Newsweek has
learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly cancelled travel plans
for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns."
(8)
(Emphasis added)
Wow! Could these unnamed "top Pentagon officials" have
been some of the Zionist directors of the Defense Policy Board which we
talked about earlier? If these Pentagon officials were scared enough not to
fly, then why didn't the Pentagon place the Air Force on full alert? How
could they have been so slow to react to 9-11 when they already knew there
was a threat?
On September 27, The Washington Post reported that two
workers of the Israeli company messaging Odigo
(with offices also in New York) received instant message warnings
just two hours before the attacks. Here's an excerpt from the Post:
"Officials at instant-messaging firm Odigo confirmed
today that two employees received text messages warning of an attack on
the World Trade Center two hours before terrorists crashed planes into the
New York landmarks."
(9)
Soon after the attacks, the Odigo employees informed the
management of the electronic message they had received. Israeli security
services were contacted and the FBI was informed. Nothing has been heard
about this event since. I think it's safe to say that "Islamic terrorists"
would not have been considerate enough to send detailed E-mail warnings to
some obscure Israeli office workers.
Odigo says workers were warned of attack
By Yuval Dror, September 26, 2001
Odigo, the instant messaging service, says
that two of its workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers
attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen, and the company
has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement, including
the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message predicting the
attack.
Micha Macover, CEO of the company, said the two workers received the
messages and immediately after the terror attack informed the company's
management, which immediately contacted the Israeli security services, which
brought in the FBI.
"I have no idea why the message was sent to these two workers, who don't
know the sender. It may just have been someone who was joking and turned out
they accidentally got it right. And I don't know if our information was
useful in any of the arrests the FBI has made," said Macover. Odigo is a
U.S.-based company whose headquarters are in New York, with offices in
Herzliya.
As an instant messaging service, Odigo users are not limited to sending
messages only to people on their "buddy" list, as is the case with ICQ, the
other well-known Israeli instant messaging application.
Odigo usually zealously protects the privacy of its registered users, said
Macover, but in this case the company took the initiative to provide the law
enforcement services with the originating Internet Presence address of the
message, so the FBI could track down the Internet Service Provider, and the
actual sender of the original message.

Israeli Company Mum About WTC Pullout
Exclusive to American Free Press,
By Christopher Bollyn
WHILE an Israeli real estate magnate from Australia insured his 99-year
lease on the retail space of the World Trade Center against terrorism, one
of Israel's biggest companies pulled out of the north tower just days before
Sept. 11.
AFP has learned from a reliable source in the shipping industry that Zim
American Israeli Shipping Co., Inc. broke the lease when it vacated the
rented offices on the 16th and 17th floors of the north tower of the World
Trade Center shortly before the Sept. 11 disaster.
According to the source, Zim's WTC office space had been leased until the
end of the year and the company lost $50,000 when it suddenly pulled out in
the beginning of September.
The parent company, Zim Israel Navigation Co., is nearly half-owned by the
state of Israel, the other half held by Israel Corp. Zim is one of the
world's largest container shipping companies, operating an international
network of shipping lines.
AFP repeatedly contacted Zim American Israeli Shipping Co., Inc. at its new
American headquarters in Norfolk, Va., to inquire about the company's
pulling out of its WTC lease early.
AFP was told that the only person who could discuss the matter was the
company president, Shaul Cohen-Mintz, who was said to be unavailable until
Dec. 4.
AFP also contacted the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the
original owner of the World Trade Center, and was told to contact
Silverstein Properties, owner of the World Trade Center since July 24.
Silverstein passes all media related questions to the public relations
company of Howard J. Rubenstein, which also represents the state of Israel.
Steve Solomon of Rubenstein told AFP that the company "had no information on
the leases" and advised AFP to contact the tenant directly.
Calls to Ezra Bentob of Zim's legal department were not returned.
An Israeli businessman from Australia, Frank Lowy, had recently acquired the
99-year lease for the 425,000 square foot retail portion of World Trade
Center before the WTC attacks of Sept. 11, reported The Jerusalem Post on
Sept. 12.
Lowy is chairman and founder of Westfield Holdings, and the manager of
Westfield America Trust, which has a 57 percent stake in Westfield America
Inc. In April 2001, Westfield America agreed to pay $400 million for the
lease on the complex though only $133 million was paid; the rest was to be
made in ground lease payments.
Lowy is the second wealthiest man in Australia and was recently ranked as
the 209th wealthiest man in the world by Forbes magazine. Westfield is the
fourth-largest shopping mall owner, with operations in Australia, the United
States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
Westfield was insured against terrorist attacks and its earnings will not be
materially affected.
In a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange the retail chain said that
"investment in the retail component of the World Trade Center is fully
insured for both capital and loss of income," adding "the insurance coverage
includes acts of terrorism
