9/11 Documentary Delayed Due to CIA Threats

Austin, Texas -- September 13, 2011 – On Thursday, the CIA threatened the
journalists behind Who Is Rich Blee? with possible federal prosecution if their
investigative podcast reveals the names of two CIA analysts at the center of a
pattern of obstruction and mishandling of intelligence that many feel would have
stopped the 9/11 attacks.

Like FBI agent Ali Soufan and Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer before them, the podcast
team, including John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski, are being subjected to intimidation
and censorship by government officials over blowing the whistle on the true story
surrounding two alleged 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar.

The podcast originally scheduled for September 11th presents a narrative of how
three CIA analysts working under Richard Blee, the long unknown former head of
CIA’s Bin Laden Station, deliberately misled colleagues and withheld key intelligence
from the FBI and the White House regarding the presence of two Al-Qaeda
operatives in the U.S.

Four government investigations into CIA handling of pre-911 intelligence included
personal details of the two CIA analysts and their actions. Nowosielski and Duffy
deduced the identities of the two as yet unnamed CIA employees from internet
research based on details provided from these and other open sources. When the
producers used their full names in interviews, interviewees offered no correction. The
CIA response provided the final confirmation.

In project updates posted at SecrecyKills.com the producers announced the delay of
the podcast and posted background of a complicated case that involves dozens of
violations of protocol, intimidation, and incidents of obstruction by the CIA, with the
two yet named CIA analysts at the center of many of them.

Author and expert on the subject, Kevin Fenton, documents 35 such incidents
between January 2000 and September 11th in his book, Disconnecting the Dots:
How 9/11 Was Allowed to Happen.

Pulitzer-prize winner Lawrence Wright, interviewed for the podcast, told producers
the actions of one of the unnamed CIA analysts still employed at CIA amounts to
obstruction of justice in the FBI’s criminal investigation of the deaths of 17 seaman
aboard the USS Cole.

The producers are not the first subject to government censorship over this case. Last
month The New York Times reported on CIA efforts to censor an autobiography by Ali
Soufan, a front-line FBI counter-terrorism special agent. Prior to 9/11, Soufan was
interested in Mihdhar and Hazmi because of links to the bombing of the USS Cole in
Yemen. The CIA censored references to a passport photo of Mihdhar the CIA had
withheld from Soufan, despite three written requests.

Scott Shane of The New York Times reports today that, "Mr. Soufan accuses C.I.A.
officials of deliberately withholding crucial documents and photographs of Qaeda
operatives from the F.B.I. before Sept. 11, 2001, despite three written requests, and
then later lying about it to the 9/11 Commission."

Lt. Colonel Anthony Shaffer, interviewed for the podcast, was himself intimidated,
demoted and smeared by the Pentagon after he came forward to the 9/11
Commission with details of how, on three occasions, unnamed DoD officials
prevented his Able Danger operation from meeting with the FBI prior the attacks.
In 2000 the Able Danger data-mining program placed Mohammed Atta in a Brooklyn
terrorist cell but had also placed Hazmi and Mihdhar in a San Diego cell, the
epicenter of intrigue around Alec Station’s Rich Blee, Tom Wilshere and the two as
yet unnamed subordinates who themselves repeatedly withheld intelligence from the
FBI. Though Shaffer was interviewed by 9/11 Commission’s Director Philip Zelikow
and staffer Dieter Snell, the Commission left any mention of Able Danger from its
final report.

In the planned podcast, 9/11 Commission Chair Tom Kean is asked about a scant
footnote to Chapter 6 of the 9/11 Report referring to an intelligence cable, seen by
50 at the CIA, but prevented from reaching the FBI. For Kean the incident was not a
case of bungling or intel ‘stovepiping’: “Oh, it wasn’t careless oversight. It was
purposeful. No question about that in mind. It was purposeful.”

Whereas Kean explains it as a penchant for secrecy, Richard Clarke, the former head
of counter-terrorism at the Bush White House, goes farther suggesting malfeasance
and the possibility of illegal CIA-led domestic spying activity. Comments by Clarke
released in a video in August led to a formal statement from George Tenet, Cofer
Black and Richard Blee, and a response from the producers.

“This was perhaps the closest U.S. intelligence got to foiling the 9/11 plot,” explains
Nowosielski, “but instead of stopping the attack, the CIA stopped intel on two highvalue
targets from getting to the right people, repeatedly. And still the CIA protects
the individuals responsible by intimidating those who simply want to know the truth
behind a shocking and possibly criminal pattern of obstruction”
In an email Thursday the CIA warned Nowosielski he could be subject to prosecution
under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, a law intended to apply to
government employees who violate their security clearance and never used to
convict journalists.

The producer’s online response: “The Society of Professional Journalists' code of
ethics states that ‘journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than
the public's right to know’ and should ‘be vigilant and courageous about holding
those with power accountable.’ The day that journalists' exposés of wrongdoing
within government agencies require the approval of those government agencies
before release, that is the day that transparency and accountability are lost.”

John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski, both graduates of Chicago’s Columbia College Film
School, produced the critically acclaimed 2006 documentary "9/11: Press for Truth."

This interview is a reminder of "9/11 Witnesses" and their recollection of the events. Wow!
"It was as if someone had come up and speared, like a fish.... speared the USS Cole on the side because the ship flexed and bowed, it went up, rotated and came down on the water, before I could finally walk to my door and see what was happening. The amount of devastation inside that ship was beyond anything the Navy had seen and experienced since kamikaze attacks in WW2."

2:30 And his favorite phrase: "Before 9/11, there was 10/12."
Pointing at the screen picture of the hole. "This, is, an act, of war!" (Arrgh)

What's up with the "9/11" John O'Neill link with the USS Cole False Flag?
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... _O%27Neill

Who is really John O'Neill? Did he discovered something that he shouldn't have?

The former CIA agent, John O’Neill who worked with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York and New Jersey stated that the USS Cole was hit by a specially-configured Popeye cruise missile launched from an Israeli Dolphin-class submarine. Israeli tests of the missile in May 2000 in the waters off Sri Lanka demonstrated it could hit a target 930 miles away. The ex-CIA agent also stated that Ambassador Bodine threw John O’Neill and his team out of Yemen lest their investigation began uncovering evidence that the Cole was not blown up by an explosive-laden boat but by an Israeli cruise missile.

The former CIA agent said the reason for the Israeli attack was to further galvanize U.S. public opinion against both Al Qaeda and the Democrats in the weeks prior to the 2000 presidential elections. The Bush-Cheney team could blame the Democrats for not taking the Al Qaeda threat seriously. However, this is exactly the tact the Bush administration took after taking office: failure to support the CIA-FBI’s Alex Station, pressuring John O’Neill and other agents like Minneapolis agent Coleen Rowley and others across the nation who detected activity involving Arab flight students, and pulling the plug on a major data mining operation directed against Al Qaeda code named Able Danger, which was being jointly run by the DIA and the Special Operations Command.
http://www.granddelusion.com/false-flag ... /uss-cole/

But we all know that Able Danger is another "plane and hijackers" psyop just like Operation Northwoods. So what's the truth behind all this? Was John O'Neill into another layer of psyop?

Another very interesting article, as usual, there's mistakes and propaganda...

The USS Cole bombing against the backdrop of Israeli "Black Propaganda" Operations
by Michael Gillespie

Many in the Arab and Muslim communities in the United States are inclined to suppose that Israel may be responsible for the terror-bombing of the USS Cole in the Yemen port city of Aden on October 13. Although few Americans would suspect Israel, a trusted U.S. ally, of such a dastardly act, they may well be wrong while better informed and more experienced Arab and Muslim observers may be correct.

The Israeli intelligence agencies have a long history of carrying out what have been called "black propaganda" operations. Such covert actions are designed to create suspicion and inflame animosity between Israel's perUnived enemies in the Middle East and Americans. While Israel's deadly surprise attack on the USS Liberty on June 6, 1967, is now widely viewed as having been carried out for the purp twoof keeping the USS Liberty's electronic monitoring capabilities from uncovering and reporting to Washington on the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)'s military preparations in advance of the attack on the Golan Heights, which would have allowed the Johnson administration to apply diplomatic pressure to forestall the IDF's aggression against Syria, there are many other clear examples of Israeli intelligence agencies engaging in "black propaganda" for the purpose of damaging the public image of Arabs and Arab states and organizations and fomenting trouble between Arabs and Arab states and organizations and the U.S. government.

UPDATE for October 12th 2011 worth mentioning.

8 killed in Southern California salon shooting
SEAL BEACH, California (AP) — A gunman opened fire Wednesday in a busy hair salon, killing eight people and critically wounding another while leaving bodies scattered throughout the business in a normally sedate California beach community.

The gunman got into a car and drove away from Salon Meritage after opening fire about 1:30 p.m. He was stopped by officers about a half-mile away and surrendered without incident, said police Sgt. Steve Bowles.

Thanks a million for this post! We definitely have to look into the USS Cole thing.
I find it remarkable that the ship was allegedly built on the 11th of march 1996, only four years before being used as a target by "al quaeda".
And yes all the layers of the psyop, including the conspiracy theories are present: was it al-qaeda? was it self-inflicted? was it the israelis? Or, rather, was it nothing at all?
What's certain is that the USS Cole bombing serves an important role in people minds, in support to the idea that, even when the 9/11 affair sound bogus to them, al-quaeda remains a real threat because "they did the USS Cole and other things before!"

Here are some of the USS cole victims:

Apparently the 'three names' thing is only to distinguish/narrow down that particular person.
Hence most assassins of notable individuals [in the US] seemingly have three names:
John Wilkes Booth
Lee Harvey Oswald
Sirhan Sirhan Sirhan [only joking on that one!]
