During the Ottoman and British reign in mandated Saudi lands and Israel, it was the United States government with direct sponsorship from European Jewry and the prospect of billions in oil dollars waiting in the Southern Arabian land is where poignant decisions were made. Back the influence of Theodore Hertzl and King Abdulaziz ibn Abdul Rahman Al Saud. Both of these men were to formally lead their countries with the sole backing of not Britain but of the United States.

Thomas Drake is a former senior executive with the National Security Agency, a United

In April 2010 he was charged by the US Department of Justice with a 10 felony count Espionage Act indictment facing 35 years in prison, until the government's case against him collapsed in June 2011. Drake rejected several deals because he refused to "plea bargain with the truth". He eventually pleaded to one misdemeanor count for exceeding authorized use of a computer. He is the 2011 recipient of the Ridenhour Prize for Truth Telling while also awarded the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence (SAAII) award and the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award.

In this episode i speak on the current US foreign policy framework and how the terrorist networks such as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and Taliban in Afghanistan, are working with other Arab fundamentalist organizations to coordinate a response to the tragedies in Gaza, Yemen and North Africa to which the United States government plays a part. The reports from the United Nations Security Counsel as well as terrorism experts have all reported that the current threat matrix coming out of Afghanistan and the Arabian Peninsula is now far ahead and plans for a international terrorist operation is heading underway. The question is, how can we prepare accordingly. 

Robert Wright Jr. was a former FBI counter-terrorism agent out of the Chicago Field Office who once spearheaded an intricate investigation into suspected money laundering of terrorist groups by Islamic relief charities, code named "Vulgar Betrayal". By the time the investigation started, Wright noted how top brass at the Chicago and FBI headquarters in Washington DC looked to upend Wright's investigative team, by not providing him with the necessary financing or manpower to further their operation. 

Wright would later complain that "FBI management intentionally and repeatedly thwarted and obstructed my attempts to launch a more comprehensive investigation to identify and neutralize terrorists." Information about the Holy Land Foundation, BMI Inc, and their ties to terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and Hamas were intentionally thwarted or mismanaged which led to the abrupt end of the "Vulgar Betrayal" investigation. 

Afterwards, Wright would author a detailed book, to which, the FBI prevented him from publishing with threats of criminal prosecution. By 2006 a court ruling would approve of the book's release.

In this episode i talk about the raw intelligence and data that the US intelligence services had which could had prevented the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, from being an operational success. But because of internal grievances, malfeasance and nefarious agendas, the intelligence was not shared with each other. Even when the attacks were taking place, the national defense failed us. I read from numerous media sources, and play congressional inquiry audio, to give you a brief look into the malfeasance, conspiracy and coverups involving various facets of the intelligence agencies, media and department of defense. 

Mark Rossini, served as an FBI representative to the CIA’s Counter-terrorist Center (CTC) at CIA Headquarters and he was one of the founding executives of the National Counter-terrorism Center (NCTC). He was then situated in the 1997 NYC joint terrorism task force where he served under the I-48 counter terrorism unit which investigated Hezbollah, which was the unit next to the legendary I-49 unit which was the team investigating Al Qaeda.

In todays episode, Mark returns to discuss the FBI's investigation of the 1998 East Africa Bombings of two US embassy's, the lack of any congressional inquiry in the aftermath, how Bin Laden and Al Qaeda judged the Clinton White House afterwards, and the Office of Military Commissions latest findings in the Canestraro document.

In this episode i cover the initial entry of a known radical cleric from the Egyptian fundamentalist group, Gamma Islamiyyah, Omar Abdel Rahman, into the United States. Also known as the "Blind Sheikh" due to the effects of blindness from an early age, Rahman had been linked to the assassination of Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat, but later released under house arrest. However he escaped, and would later be given residency into the United States, while on a terrorist watchlist approved by the CIA.

This discussion involves the years of Rahman's initial entry into the country, the CIA's close relationship with Rahman and other radical Islamists including Ali Mohamed (a triple agent for CIA, FBI and Al Qaeda). By 1990 the collapse of the Soviet Union with the assistance of the agency and Pakistan ISI thru the program, "Operation Cyclone",

In this episode, i read from the various files from the FBI's Newark office and their 9/11 investigation code named "PENTTBOM", which involved an investigation of the Israeli nationals who were operating out of moving companies such as Urban Moving Systems in the United States. The FBI reports detail an intricate intelligence operation that concentrated out of Weehawken, New Jersey and Hollywood, Florida. Incidentally, these areas are also where some of the members of the Hamburg Cell (the 9/11 pilot hijackers) were living as well.

In a previous episode, we spoke on the infamous East Ruthersford police report and the FBI's own report on the Israeli operators. These reports however concentrate on the FBI agents interviews of the employees and eyewitnesses who saw the Israeli nationals in the days prior and post 9/11 attacks.

However, lacking specific details we cannot say for certain on what the Israeli intelligence operators knew. But, we can surmise that they knew an Al Qaeda attack was imminent. In the weeks after the attacks, all of the Israeli nationals were deported. Taking with them whatever intelligence they had collected between the years 2000-2001.

In the aftermath of the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),  Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), along with the Department of Defense (DoD), began the process of perusing the terrorists and their associates involved. In the timeframe between 2002-2006, the CIA's "rendition program" was given a green light while Pentagon and State Department officials hired CIA psychologists who implemented the "enhanced interrogation program" called SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) on those captured. 

Reports were leaked about secret CIA prisons in the Middle East and Europe that used barbarous torture methods to extract information on subjects they believed were behind the 9/11 attacks. In 2006 a Senate Committee was formed headed by Senator Dianne Feinstein (United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence), and released it's findings in a 6,700 page report entitled "The Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program". In the many pages of the report, the Committee investigated the CIA and its torture of many inmates which showed the results of their brutal practices.

In this episode i speak about the Committee's final conclusions of the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques, the FBI's report on what they saw in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the laws that were changed in the days after September 11th 2001, that led to the creation of the agency's program that was universally condemned  while the CIA tried to coverup their involvement.
