WE GET LETTERS
“But isn’t all of this Outside job stuff just going to benefit the Neo Cons? GlobalCorp?” someone emailed. “Did the Saudis put the (alleged) Hijackers in Rudy’s flight school? Give them Govt Credit cards? Schedule identical Drills the morning of 911? Tell Cheney to run the stand down? Operate the cover up? I don’t see anything coming from this. Shot over the bow of the kingdom by Economic hitmen…”
My website’s down till later this week. Was hacked in January, so I’m switching hosts. Things happen. I’m not blaming the Illuminati.
I’ll give this a shot. A last shot, hopefully. Otherwise I’m bored with it. Anyone who’s seen as much obvious disinformation being parroted back at them as holy writ by people whose reasoning facility is on a par with that of George W. Bush–if that–probably feels the same.
What I saw in Florida: The Saudis were running it. They were everywhere. Tell me: who’s got more money to pay bribes than Saudis? No one. Who’s taking bribes in America? Everyone. Everyone whose name you already know, and everyone whose name you don’t. It’s a corrupt country. Deal with it. It’s Rome in 200 AD.
Islamic fundamentalist or lieutenant in an Arab drug cartel?
In 1999, there were a handful of Arab flight students in SW Florida. In 2001 there were thousands. At a big AFB base in the Panhandle, a trainer told me, “It used to be Iranians. Now it’s all Saudis.”
Were they there by themselves? Hell no. Did the CIA know? Hell yes. I asked an old hand, in a highly irate tone of voice, how could the CIA not have known blah-di-blah blah. His answer was mild. Why, I’m sure that they did know. He said, “It would have been impossible for them not to.”
Venice and the surrounding region was teeming with spooks. The Sheriff in nearby Charlotte County—where Atta lived for a time, though you won’t find that in the 9/11 Commission Report—told me that, because of the 40-year history of covert activity that he had seen been run through Charlotte County, which he and everyone else in the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Department had been powerless to stop, he believed the CIA was responsible for 9/11.
Was one of the bigger shocks of my life. A Southern cracker Sheriff telling me he thought the CIA was responsible for 9/11. And hey. Maybe he’s right. But I couldn’t go there. I might believe that. But I never had proof.
Despite that, I heard a lot, saw a lot, and learned a lot in Florida. For 18 month Venice Florida was the home base of the terrorist hijackers. It was the biggest 9/11 crime scene that wasn’t reduced to rubble. And I uncovered more evidence about the terrorist conspiracy’s activities there than anyone, more than every other reporter in America… combined.
Because there were no reporters or investigators or researchers in Venice. Except me.
I drove 1000 miles in the dead of winter in a 15-year old car with a faulty heater to find and interview Mohamed Atta’s girlfriend. Nobody else knew he’d even had one. Except three tiny local newspapers in SW Florida. I posted the entire interview.
43 lbs. of heroin is known in the trade as “heavy weight”
I discovered the most important secret that’s come out so far about the 9/11 attack. The owner of the flight school that trained Mohamed Atta had his Learjet busted just three weeks after Atta arrived, carrying 43 lbs. of heroin.
Because of this, in 50 or 1oo years, or maybe a thousand, depending on when the truth finally comes out, someone will be grateful that I did. That makes me feel good. I was, at least, useful.
One of the reasons being put forward to release the 28 pages involves testimony from Z. Moussaoui. In Welcome to TerrorLand there’s testimony from a cabbie who picked up Moussaoui in Venice, where no one else reports that he was. He’s been visiting some of the boys at an apartment in Venice. The cabdriver (there’s only two in Venice) had been to that address a dozen times, taking Arab men to the airport in Orlando.
The cabdriver’s asked to help carry luggage to the cab. He says okay. Its a trunk, and it weighs almost more than two people can carry. That’s all he knew. Later I asked an ex-NSA agent what could weigh that much. He answered without even pausing to think: “Gold.”
Saudis in San Diego…and Florida
In a brief one-week trip to Southern California, I uncovered and exclusively reported evidence—with resources an assistant manager at McDonald’s would sneer at—about the man the Chairman of the Joint Congressional Intelligence Committee investigation into 9/11 called “the “best chance to uncover the Sept. 11 plot before it happened.”
The New York Times said, “Of all the people who had contact with the 19 men, perhaps no one found himself closer than Dr. Shaikh, 65, a gregarious retired educator who has lived for years in this working class suburb of San Diego.”
The paper reported, “Dr. Shaikh was quite proud of his positions of civic responsibility, particularly on a citizens review board at the police department.”
History Commons says: “Despite much scrutiny after 9/11, little information will emerge on Shaikh’s background or why he came to the FBI’s notice.”
Abdussattar Shaikh was identified in wire reports as “a retired professor of English at San Diego State,” and “Vice President for International Projects at American Commonwealth University.”
I discovered he was nothing of the kind. Every single detail in his biography was a lie:
He never taught at San Diego State; He has never been a Professor of English… anywhere; He has a phony PhD purchased from a bogus diploma mill run by people with U.S. military and intelligence connections; The “University” where he was supposed to be “Vice President or International Projects” does not, in fact, exist.
Oh, and Abdussattar Shaikh is not his real name. (His real name is “Abdussattar Chhipa.”)
So when someone sneeringly asks me a question about something or other concerning 9/11 containing the insinuation that he or she (almost always he) has divined the truth with a superior ability to avoid being a sucker that is otherwise nowhere in evidence–with gaps in logic big enough to fly a 767 through without leaving marks– my response is, really, no response.
The Pentagon has a 1600-man battalion that does nothing but psyops. And H.L. Mencken said: “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
You can see the problem.
From the DEA report regarding the Israeli drug trafficking spies:
Additional surveillance revealed a dark-colored mini van, driven by a white male with dark hair, picking up approximately six females, all carrying similar "portfolios," in a crowded area during downtown Tampa rush hour. The Florida license plate on the van was U71 DLD, a 1991 red Dodge mini-van, registered to Hanane SARFATI, W/M, DOB 06/03/1977, 4220 Sheridan St. #303, Hollywood, FL, and 701 S. 21st Ave., Hollywood, FL
Can't help but notice that's down the block from a mailbox that Mohammed Atta used, according to the 9/11 Commission, at 3389 Sheridan. The 1818 Jackson St address that Atta lived at was also very close to Hanan Serfaty, another Israeli art student mentioned in the DEA report. What's the deal with Hollywood, FL?
PS: I'm not one to blame the Jews for everything, and certainly believe that Saudi elites, Europeans, and members of the American intelligence community played the most significant roles.
dude thanks. but what you apparently haven’t quite snapped to yet is it is precisely BECAUSE “Hopsicker is the person…Huffman Air and the CIA– etc etc that people like this call me “a shill.”
get it? they’re not who you think they are.
Some of you are very strange people. You haven't been reading Mad Cow for all these years. Hopsicker is the person who has long pointed out the connections between Huffman Air and the CIA–it's quite ironic to hear him called a shill for the establishment. However, one thing he does not do is jump to conclusions without checking facts.
Whew. Deleting comments is (almost) hard work. Troofers were/are sponsored disinformation. Why the post here is because no one listens to them anymore. Poor troofers.
I come off as a sock puppet? That's rich. I meerly find Hopsicker's approach to investigation to be quite logical and level headed. Can you perhaps point me to where he is pushing the official story of 9/11, because I have yet to see that after reading his books and all the articles on his site. I just find it strange that you are jumping down the guys throat for simply focusing on what he can prove through his own investigations. I think he IS missing parts of the whole story, but I don't think that the same as intentionally "ignoring" it as you seem to. I will take a look at your links, but frankly, why should I trust them (or you) any more than Hopsicker?
I just find it interesting how you put so much effort into discrediting someone who is such an insignificant part of the conspiritainment on the internet. I don't personally know anyone who knows who Hopsicker even is, but they all have heard of infowars. Maybe you are right, maybe he is an intelligence front. Show me the proof, becasue so far I haven't seen anything to lead me to belive that is true.
As to the Saudi's, how long was the link covered up by the government and media again? 14 years? I guess that's not significant anymore though, because now they are talking about it? I'm not sure I understand the logic with that. Still, it IS interesting that it's being brought out into the open now, and I do wonder exactly why that is. However, Hopsicker has been talking about it for the whole 14 years, when no one else was (excpept conspiracy sites, who either referred to his work or just "borrowed" it without attribution).
Though I don't expect you to believe me, I've never met or spoken to Hopsicker in any fashion, and I am definetly not a sock puppet. I would give you my real name (I'm on Facebook), but I don't know if that would be a good idea, particularlaly if you are what I strongly suspect you are.
Thanks for all your good work, Daniel.
What, prey tell, if your "litmus test"?
Shawn, there is a reason it is "so easy" to find all this information. Certain entites ensure that this information saturates the internet, while Hopsicker's information is basically restricted to this little known web site and his Facebook page. You know, "follow the money" is a great way to see who is benefitting from disinfo, and it's pretty obvious which folks are making big money off of 9/11 disinfo. Hopsicker sure ain't one of them.
Hmm, me thinks "Oh Really?" doth protest too much. You know, it's no secret that NSA and CIA are quite active in muddying the waters on comment boards accross the net. So here we have a glaring example. It's been patently obvious to me, for qutie some time, that the REAL disinfo and misdirection is found on the "major" conspiratainment sites such as Infowars and David Iche's site. You people then come here, to a site that barely has any footprint on the internet, to bash a guy who does actual research and investigation in the tradition of actual, real journalism (which will certainly not be found on most conspiracy sites) to accomplish what, exactly? Most people don't even know of the existence of Hopsicker and his research, yet you want to attack him as some kind of shill for the "real perpetrator's". If that is what he is, they should fire him, because he's done a far less affective job at misdirecting people than Alex Jones and his ilk. Nice try though "Oh Really?".
Glad to see you back once more, Daniel. Back from the dead twice, once literally, once figuratively.
To Oh Really: You haven't figured out that Israel and Saudi Arabia are actually allies?
Hopsicker is mainstream media? Get serious.
