Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job
Man who set up Operation Gladio tells Italy’s largest newspaper attacks were run by CIA, Mossad

Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio Francesco Cossiga has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy’s most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.

Cossiga was elected President of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide 1985 election to become President of the country in 1985.

Cossiga gained respect from opposition parties as one of a rare breed – an honest politician – and led the country for seven years until April 1992.

Cossiga’s tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio – a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

(Article continues below)

Gladio’s specialty was to carry out what they coined “false flag operations,” terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition.

Cossiga’s revelations contributed to an Italian parliamentary investigation of Gladio in 2000, during which evidence was unearthed that the attacks were being overseen by the U.S. intelligence apparatus.

In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony, “You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force … the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.”

Cossiga’s new revelations appeared last week in Italy’s oldest and most widely read newspaper, Corriere della Sera. Below appears a rough translation.

“[Bin Laden supposedly confessed] to the Qaeda September [attack] to the two towers in New York [claiming to be] the author of the attack of the 11, while all the [intelligence services] of America and Europe … now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the CIA American and the Mossad with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part … in Iraq [and] Afghanistan.”

Cossiga first expressed his doubts about 9/11 in 2001, and is quoted in Webster Tarpley’s book as stating that “The mastermind of the attack must have been a “sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel.”

Coming from a widely respected former head of state, Cossiga’s assertion that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job and that this is common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies is highly unlikely to be mentioned by any establishment media outlets, because like the hundreds of other sober ex-government, military, air force professionals, allied to hundreds more professors and intellectuals – he can’t be sidelined as a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

Don’t be a prev . . . be an investor. . . if republicans weren’t so invested in the process, would they control more than 1% of the money in this country?

The didtz that is Brittany Spears endorsed Bush . . . ugh . . . he probably hates that too . . . but she makes $700,000 a week.

Bush’s VP, Halliburton was fined more than $500 million for his shinanigans in Kasickstan (sp? recall Borat? Don’t think he would screw a minority for a buck? Bush didn’t land in NO after Katrina after the hurricaine because, after the drowning of the local black population, Rove saw the opportunity to turn the Gulf Coast Red.

Willyloman & Bilbo – it isn’t that I disagree with your politics, I just think that you approach it badly & ineffectively. . . if it were merely poorly, we could probably get a bunch of rappers like Def Jam to fund a rehab of NO . . . you louts couldn’t even manage that. . . a few have joined up with NO legends to fund it, to correct the Bush disaster themselves. Pathetic.

World Trade Center was definitely a disaster. . . it was tragis . . so is/was New Orleans & the entire Gulf Coast. . . if you want a sick contest, more died or were displaced or were raped and killed subsequently in New Orleans & the Gulf Coast . . . . where is the love? where is Guiliani? shere are any of the candidates?

California wildfire victims don’t want the trailors. The trailors were all built in China, full of amonia . . . regs state that government officials aren’t allowed in.

Yeah, the WTC is a problem, but isn’t it ironic that Americans from coast to coast have been displaced from their homes while Bush has been at home in Crawford, surrounded by Secret Service and thousand dollar flower arrangements, orchestrating a war against a country that didn’t bomb us in Iraq (and ignoring Afghanistan, or rather, coddling up to a country that did – Saudi Arabia – most of the bombers were Saudis – none Iraqi). God bless American soldiers. . . . we could have used them and their equipment at home.

If you all with the expertise don’t get together and compile a compelling case, it’s likely that you will never be heard anywhere but here. Perhaps you lack organizational skills . . . many nonprofits could organize if you have the political will.

Bart thinks I’m a troll. Far from it. I organize here at home and would be more than happy to help at a national level. You lack organization.

Get it together. Not every organizer has time to work on both local, national and poorly organized campaigns.

One thing to spit . . . another to swallow.

Anyone who really researched this, rather than covering eyes and plugging ears, could not possibly believe the official story. (I used to teach physics, too.)

The 48 Laws of Power is a book by Robert Greene and published by Joost Elffers in 1998. The book is similar to Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince,[1] with the main difference being that the audience is not royalty, but the masses. It takes the form of a manual which provides laws for those who seek to increase their power in life. The work aims to illustrate that “certain actions always increase one’s power … while others decrease it and even ruin us.”

We should also never forget to look at 911 not as a single unique event, but part of an ongoing process. The some parts of that process are overt and obvious, such as the subsequent two wars. much of it is covert, such as the SAS being caught in Iraq, dressed as arabs and being armed to the teeth with light machine guns and explosives. (By the way the same outfit used similar tactics here in Northern Ireland.). There are also future events we should try to gain an understanding of, if thats possible. The media are a good indication of what might lay in wait for us, and if you listen to the talking heads it is quite obvious that the running meme for new attacks seems to be nuclear. Glenn Beck and many more continually talk about it. Not that they are privvy o any plans, they dont need to be. but they can certainly be steered to talk about certain issues in certain ways.

With that in mind i think we should understand that events such as the Minot/Barksdale Nuke incident could quite possibly be the same elements at work. As the below article suggests, screwing up with nuclear weapons is just not done. the regulations are so severe that even one minor deviation would raise alarms. in the barksdale incident we see large scale collapse of the regulations. like 9/11 a series of unbelieveable coincidents converged to put armed nuclear missiles on a bomber, unguarded.

Of course this could all merely be part of their fear factor and “strategy of tension”, but i just cant get round the notion that terrorism is much too valuable a commodity not to use.

Afterall the greatest tyrants of the last century knew only too well the value of terror:

“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives
people harder than a fear of sudden death.”
— Adolf Hitler

“The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out
acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their
personal security is threatened”.
— Josef Stalin

Well then Kilo, you should take your VAST array of SKILLS to the FBI and offer to help them, becaus they say the jury is still out on that one, and they will not confirm the authenticity of the video…

In Fact, when you look at bin Laden’s wanted posted, there is no mention of him being charged with the attacks of 9/11…

“The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”

So you can keep “debunking” that serious question about the validity of the “confession” video all you want, but the FBI dosn’t seem to agree with you. And they looked closely at the video too I would imagine.

Oh, and don’t forget, bin Laden did say in several interviews right after 9/11 that he had nothing to do with it because the leaders of the Taliban wouldn’t let him do anything to antagonize the US (cus they knew the US wanted a reason to attack them and run the Trans Afghan Pipeline thru Afghanistan).

See how the pieces all fit nicely together when you take the time to read?

Man, you are bright Kilo… I don’t know how I can keep up with you… but here go we anyway…

Blaming al Qaeda was the false flag operation, because the PRIMARY target wasn’t Iraq! The first place we went was Afghanistan! Remember the Taliban? Well, those guys were refusing to let the Trans Afghan Pipeline go thru thier country to the Caspian Basin.

From Pakistan (are we supporting them much these days? hmmm) up through Afghanistan (building it right after we removed Taliban and put an Oil Company Representative in charge of Afghanistan. He just HAPPENED to work for the same company that was trying to build the Trans Afghan Pipeline…

Why didn’t they make them Afghanis or Iraqis? Well, because they were recruited by the Saudi Royal Family, and EVERYBODY knows that the majority of fighters in the Taliban are from other countries… primarily Saudi Arabia (like bin Laden, don’t you know)

So there you have it. After your exhustive search to find and answer to your theory crippling question, you have finally found someone who can explain why they picked those nationalities for the false flag operation.

i would have thought the flag was rather obvious. unless the 6 year long “war on terror” managed to skip right past you unnoticed. plus you have also to get round the inconvenient fact that False Flag terror has been in the western intelligence toolbox for many many decades.

As for the nationality of the perputrators, that also is easily explained. the saudis are part of the club. and i imaging the country is brimming with intelligent assets, including scores of potential patsies. there is no way they are going to use Iraqis, as it would be too much of a wild card. plus they probably dont have access to a large pot of iraqi assets.
They can also weather the flak directed at Saudi Arabia by the very easy tactic of not talking about it. which is exactly what we see. not even the violent punishment of a rape victim can shift the priviledged status SA has in US power circles.
And besides all that you would still have to explain, using the official theory, why Saudi Arabia has went completely unpunished.

Some people made HUGE pots of money selling American and United Airlines short in the days before 9/11 — who are they, and why haven’t they been investigated…?

Same with the insurance payouts.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Again, Thank You TP! You guys rock!

good places to start… don’t have too much fun. :(

It took me about a year of doing my own investigations to come to this conclusion, and I dre say, it wasn’t “Loose Change” that did it.

Though that is a pretty good flick.

9/11 is the spark they are using to change everything we know about how this country operates.

From foreign policy to domestic programs, everything for the corporations and nothing for the average citizen. All from 9/11.

The trillion we have spent in Iraq is nothing compared to all the money spent here as well, and in other countries to “support the war on terror”. All the money and weapons handed over to our “coalition of the willing” partners…

9/11 has been the biggest boon to corporate America, ever.

And we just keep taking it up the butt. It’s not a coincidence and it wasn’t something they left to chance. We need an investigation, now, before the elections, because Hillary and Rudy will never do it.

Now or never people. You want your country back or not.

Nice chatting with you Bartlebee. I need a drink.

If they “allowed it to happen” why did it happen on Sept. 11, the same day our covert operatives installed Pinocet in a coup in Chile in 1973 (forced prvatization, Patriot Act type legislation, ect. ect.) that was on Sept. 11th 1973…

funny day for the “terrorists” to pick, huh?

If we “allowed it to happen” then that would have meant that someone was dumb enough to think they could fly a hijacked jumbo jet through the most heavily guarded air space on the planet… and that they could hit the most heavily guarded building on the planet…

who would think that in 2001? Would you be that dumb?

If we “allowed it to happen” then we must have figured that the pilots would hand over control of their aircraft (all of them) without saying a word on the radio to air traffic controlers, or flipping the “hijack” switch (which takes about 1/2 of a second to do).

because none of them did that. none of them even had a 1/2 of a second.

and all of them, even the ones with military backgrounds and training in counter hijacking tactics, all of them handed over thier planes to guys who wiegh 145 lbs… armed with a breakoff 1″ razor knife….

If we “allowed it to happen” then we had to trust “hijacker nutjobs” not to change their minds and hit the Sears tower instead… (not rigged with explosives) or the United States Capitol building (mush more symbolic).

Allowed it to happen? I don’t think so. There was way too much riding on this to leave anything to chance…

I am always in favor of pertinent questions from any source. Even trolls. Often; the questions we ask, which get ignored, are more telling than those which are, inadequately, answered.

I didn’t mean that you, or anyone else, had been “troll bashing”. I was just noting that one of our pet trolls was on the verge of derailing the discussion with tripe. The manslag troll had, clearly, run out of pertinent questions and deserved no further encouragement.
