The Darkened Hour

Today is the 25th anniversary of the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks upon the United States to which the aftereffects of which still reverberate to this day and forever after. The United States government immediately put forth various narratives and speculative thoughts on the culprits in the ensuing hours and days. Soon, the loved ones of those tragically murdered that day began asking questions backed by an inquisitive public which put enormous pressure on the White House.

By 2002 however, two Congressional Inquiries began to look into the data from various agencies, institutions and individuals who had past and present information regarding the information missed, and even, ignored regarding the threat to the security of its interests here and abroad. Much information, however, was intentionally with held by the State Department and the intelligence services. Foreign intelligence was complete ignored altogether. By 2004, the final reports were released to the pubic.

This episode today will be from the legacy networks, news bulletins, intelligence reports and data points i have took notes on over the last 12 years that i was going to make for a  book in the future. Instead, it will be used in this 24 hour podcast which will most likely be the most thoroughly comprehensive history of the 9/11 attacks ever published to date. Complete with dates from the points raised in each summary that will encompass various areas such as, US foreign policy, the intelligence services involvement in that history, the creation of Islamic extremism, the Israeli state and its interests in the Middle East and its intelligence divisions involvement in that history, the summaries of the 9/11 hijackers and their associates, the profiles of terrorists and the intelligence agencies investigations behind their operations and much more. 

This podcast is dedicated to the memories of all 2,996 victims and to their relatives and friends of those killed in the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks.

When the United States government ended the longest war in the nation's history on August 20th 2021, the ruling Afghan government was now in the power and influence of the Taliban. Under the guidelines laid under the, Doha Accords, the Taliban pledged to prevent any militant group from staging attacks from Afghan territory against the US and its allies.

What made the withdrawal even more disastrous was that the US military left behind an estimated $7 billion in military equipment and weapons that had been supplied to the former Afghan National Security Forces but are now in the hands of the ruling Taliban. The United States military training of the Afghan Army, was deemed a complete and total failure due to internal incompetency and corruption (most likely from Taliban influence).

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, are the US government making the same mistakes previous to the 9/11 attacks once again? 

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",
