At least two 9/11 hijackers had been recruited into a joint CIA-Saudi intelligence operation that was covered up at the highest level, according to an explosive new court filing. A newly-released court filing raises grave questions about the relationship between Alec Station, a CIA unit set up to track Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and his associates, and two 9/11 hijackers leading up to the attacks, which was subject to a coverup at the highest levels of the FBI. […]
from what I read in that article, the CIA was potentially trying to flip two of the highjackers over to being assets, but fucked up and just gave them the money they needed to do 9/11.
Also the CIA agents involved with this weren't trained for asset handling, and were fucking around outside the scope of their role / responsibilities.
I skimmed the article though because I'm day drunk so I could be wrong.
most of these goons are horrifyingly incompetent nepo babies who try and spin shit afterwards in their favor. they're not masterminds, they're opportunists and scavengers.
I mean hmmmmmm there were multiple separate witnesses who all corroborated that they heard explosions on the ground floor and basement before the tower collapsed when there shouldn't logically be any explosions that far down
I think TrueAnon's series on Dulles or maybe the Kennedy assassinations talks about how the CIA for a big chunk of the cold war was all finance bros and lawyers and generally speaking not throat cutting spies, and that a lot of their successes were due to being able to throw money at grotesque failure after failure until something worked.
The people who would go on to form al-Qaeda were all veterans of the Soviet-Afghan war who had worked closely with the CIA and received weapons, funding, and support from the CIA. So sorta? The Soviet-Afghan war ended in '89, this was barely a decade later. This isn't really new or shocking.
So it's like the FBI radicalizing muslims to do terror attacks but on a bigger scale?

:geordi-no: Bush comically crawled through the air ducts in tower 1 & 2 planting thermite bombs
:geordi-yes: The CIA gave the 9/11 hijackers money to do the attack
Real "men who stare at goats" energy
