A well-connected Saudi family hosted frequent visits from 9/11 terrorists at their Sarasota, Fla., home while they were in the area flight training, according to documents released by the FBI in 2013.(Snip)Located in the exclusive community of Prestancia, where Michael Jordan once rented a home, the residence was owned by Esam Ghazzawi—a prominent Saudi interior designer, businessman and adviser with long ties to the Saudi royal family.(Snip)Despite denying any involvement with the terrorists, the al-Hijjis abruptly fled their Sarasota home in a rush two weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks. “They left behind valuable items, clothing, jewelry and food in a manner

Comments:

What special relationship do the Saudis have with the FBI and the Bush family (and thus the CIA) that would merit such preferential treatment?

Bush knew. He allowed members of Osama Bin Laden's family fly home while grounding all other flights in the US.

What a shame we didn’t have a President Trump back then....much of the Middle East would have been a smoking hole in the ground.

Since bin Laden and the 19 suicide flyers were mostly Saudi, Mecca and Medina should have received the first bombs, not the mountains in Afghanistan. That would have shown the muzzies that we were serious.

#4, Correct. The destruction of those two cities would have saved many lives. Seems our politicians were bought by their so called friends who thought nothing of murdering over 3,000 innocent people that day. This is what happens when you do not have the will to confront evil or that will is tempered by your lust for power and money. The political class has betrayed this country and cost us immeasurably.

FTA: "At the time, the FBI had attempted to hide the Saudi connection for years until the newly released document in 2013 proved otherwise." "None of the information pertaining to al-Hijji made it into the '9/11 Commission Report' released in 2004. Those records were only obtained after a Freedom of Information Act request was submitted by Florida Bulldog, an online investigative journalism watchdog, years after the official books were closed and with the help of Florida Sen. Bob Graham."

The reason we did not retaliate against the mostly Saudi Arabian attack on 9/11 was we were highly dependent on foreign oil. The fuel shortage resulting the OPEC oil embargo a few years earlier showed how dependent we were on foreign oil. If we had retaliated at that time Saudi Arabia would have cut off all oil we needed to survive. For a very short time, President Trump achieved oil independence for the United States. Oil could no longer be used as a weapon against us. After a few short months in office, Biden put us back into dependence on foreign oil. This put us back in the mercy of those who hate us. Biden with the full support of the Democrats is an existential threat to the United States.

Wonder how those cigars shared by Dubya and Saudi Ambassador (and family friend) Prince Bandar on the White House balcony tasted? Back then the Great War Chief was unquestionable...it's time to get some answers. There's much more here than anyone knows.

The "special relationship" had a lot to do with our collective love of and need for putting gas in our tanks. President Trump nearly ended our dependence on Middle Eastern oil but his efforts were cut short prematurely.

Gottlieb, who sits on the board of directors for Pfizer, says the pharmaceutical giant is expected to file the paperwork with the federal government requesting authorization to vaccinate kids as early as September.

U.S. intelligence officials waged a politicized campaign to undermine President Trump and his administration, and the politicization undermined American security, according to a former U.S. intelligence analyst. John A. Gentry, a former CIA analyst, stated in a journal article that former high-ranking intelligence officials were frequently used by sitting intelligence officials, to leak damaging information. Many “formers” directly or indirectly helped elect current President Biden and defeat Mr. Trump in the 2020 election. “Current and former U.S. intelligence officers in unprecedentedly large numbers politicized intelligence in their opposition to candidate and then President Donald Trump,” Mr. Gentry stated in an article in the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence.

I held off on writing about the “F*** Joe Biden” chants that began at college football games a couple of weeks ago. I had three reasons. First, I’m not a fan of obscenities because I think they cheapen speech. Second, these chants were initially small groups at Southern colleges, which really didn’t seem like a “thing.” Third, I wasn’t going to get excited until I learned whether the chants had legs. Well, it turns out they do have legs and they’re becoming large chants at multiple games (including New York baseball games). And most importantly, Joe Biden knows about them and isn’t happy.

Lowville, New York—Lewis County General Hospital will stop delivering babies after September 24 because too many maternity unit workers have resigned over COVID vaccination mandates. That’s according to Lewis County Health System Chief Executive Officer Gerald Cayer, who held a news conference Friday in Lowville. He said 6 employees in the maternity unit resigned rather than get a COVID shot and another 7 are undecided. According to Cayer, the hospital will be unable to safely staff the unit and will pause delivering babies after September 24.(Snip)Cayer said 165 hospital employees have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19; that’s 27 percent of the workforce.

George W. Bush appeared at Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to honor those who died on 9/11. It was an interesting speech, but not necessarily in a good way. (snip) Bush said that Islamic violent extremists are the same as domestic violent extremists when it comes to their “disregard of human life.” The big question is whether Bush was referring to Antifa and BLM or to the January 6 protesters—and, interestingly, everybody assumes he was speaking about the latter.

There’s a reason that the folks who plan Joe Biden’s days decided that he shouldn’t give any official remarks today as he visited the three 9/11 sites for remembrance ceremonies. I think they knew that if he opened his mouth and stuck his foot in it on such a solemn occasion, this time it would be before the world and it would be too hard for media to ignore. So as we reported earlier, they prerecorded some remarks for him where he spoke, gazing off into the distance, about “unity,” and looking like death warmed over.

President Trump inherited ISIS terrorizing the Middle East as well as Iran and both these terrorist entities were backed by the OBiden gang.
