The Real Culprits Behind the 9-11 Attacks

By: Edward Hendrie

            Renowned British author and World War II London Times journalist, Douglas Reed revealed:

The money- power and the revolutionary – power have been set up and given share of the symbolic shapes (“capitalism” or “communism”) and sharply defined citadels (“America” or “Russia”). Suitably to alarm the mass-minded, the picture offered is that of a bleak and hopeless enmity and confrontation. ... But what if similar men with a common aim secretly rule in both camps? ... I believe any diligent student of our times will discover that this is the case.

            Do we have examples of officials in the U.S. Government who are working toward a Zionist communist world government? President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, for one, was guided secretly by a communist agenda. Josephine Adams testified under oath before a subcommittee of the U.S. Senate that she acted as a courier between Earl Bowder, then Chief of the American Communist Party, and Franklin Roosevelt. She testified that she met with Roosevelt approximately 40 times during a three year period prior to Roosevelt’s death. She testified that the meetings took place either in Roosevelt’s Hyde Park home or the White House. This testimony of Adams was later confirmed as true by Browder himself, who took pride in the fact that FDR appreciated the guidance Browder gave him.

            A Congressional investigation has revealed that in 1996 Vice President Al Gore peddled his influence to the Chinese Communist Government through an Israeli intermediary.

            Representative Louis T. McFadden in a May 2, 1934 radio address stated:

It would be a monstrous mistake for any intelligent citizen of whatever nation to close his eyes to the evident fact that for nigh sixty years, the Jews have surely and rapidly though almost invisibly climbed to the heights of government wherefrom the masses are ruled. Politically, financially and economically they have seized the reigns of governments of all nations and their invasion in the realms of social, educational and religious fields not less important.

            Congressman McFadden, who was Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, knew the power that the Jews wielded and the calamities that they caused. Just as the PROTOCOLS provided, the Talmudic Jews controlled the money supply through a central bank (The Federal Reserve Bank). Congressman McFadden sated: "It [the depression] was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence....The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as the rulers of us all." ...The end result, if the Insiders have their way, will be the dream of Montagu Norman of the Bank of England "that the Hegemony of World Finance should reign supreme over everyone, everywhere, as one whole super-national control mechanism."

            Representative McFadden addressed the U.S. House of Representatives on June 10, 1932. "Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are U.S. government institutions. They are not government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the U.S. for the benefit of themselves and their foreign and domestic swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders." In essence, the international Jewish money power used corrupt politicians to push through the Federal Reserve Act, which gave them a monopoly to print the money of the nation. The Federal Reserve Act legalizes theft for a select few commercial banks that make up the Federal Reserve. Excerpts from McFadden’s speech exposes the methods that the Ashkenazi Jews used to obtain their immense power over the government of the United States:

Mr. Chairman, at the present session of Congress we have been dealing with emergency situations. We have been dealing with the effect of things rather than with the cause of things. In this particular discussion I shall deal with some of the causes that lead up to these proposals. There are underlying principles which are responsible for conditions such as we have at the present time and I shall deal with one of these in particular which is tremendously important in the consideration that you are now giving to this bill.

Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board has cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.

Some people think the Federal Reserve banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into States to buy votes to control our legislation; and there are those who maintain international propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us and of wheedling us into the granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime.

These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us for our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia and thus drove a wedge between the Allies in the World War. They financed Trotsky's passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian revolution and they placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky's disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun the breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children.

In 1912 the National Monetary Association, under the chairmanship of the late Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, made a report and presented a vicious bill called the National Reserve Association bill. This bill is usually spoken of as the Aldrich bill. Senator Aldrich did not write the Aldrich bill. He was the tool, but not the accomplice, of the European-born bankers who for nearly twenty years had been scheming to set up a central bank in this country and who in 1912 had spent and were continuing to spend vast sums of money to accomplish their purpose.

The Aldrich bill was condemned in the platform upon which Theodore Roosevelt was nominated in the year 1912, and in that same year, when Woodrow Wilson was nominated, the Democratic platform, as adopted at the Baltimore convention, expressly stated: "We are opposed to the Aldrich plan for a central bank." This was plain language. The men who ruled the Democratic Party then promised the people that if they were returned to power there would be no central bank established here while they held the reigns of government. Thirteen months later that promise was broken, and the Wilson administration, under the tutelage of those sinister Wall Street figures who stood behind Colonel House, established here in our free country the worm-eaten monarchical institution of the "king's bank" to control us from the top downward, and to shackle us from the cradle to the grave. The Federal Reserve act destroyed our old and characteristic way of doing business; it discriminated against our one-name commercial paper, the finest in the world; it set up the antiquated two-name paper, which is the present curse of this country, and which wrecked every country which has ever given it scope; it fastened down upon this country the very tyranny from which the framers of the Constitution sought to save us.

One of the greatest battles for the preservation of this Republic was fought out here in Jackson's day, when the Second Bank of the United States, which was founded upon the same false principles as those which are here exemplified in the Federal Reserve act, was hurled out of existence. After the downfall of the Second Bank of the United States in 1837, the country was warned against the dangers that might ensue if the predatory interests, after being cast out, should come back in disguise and unite themselves to the Executive, and through him acquire control of the Government. That is what the predatory interests did when they came back in the livery of hypocrisy and under false pretenses obtained the passage of the Federal Reserve act.

The danger that the country was warned against came upon us and is shown in the long train of horrors attendant upon the affairs of the traitorous and dishonest Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks are fully liable. This is an era of financed crime and in the financing of crime, the Federal Reserve Board does not play the part of a disinterested spectator.

It has been said that the draftsman who was employed to write the text of the Federal Reserve bill used a text of the Aldrich bill for his purpose. It has been said that the language of the Aldrich bill was used because the Aldrich bill had been drawn up by expert lawyers and seemed to be appropriate. It was indeed drawn up by lawyers. The Aldrich bill was created by acceptance bankers of European origin in New York City. It was a copy and in general a translation of the statutes of the Reichsbank and other European central banks.

Half a million dollars was spent one part of the propaganda organized by those same European bankers for the purpose of misleading public opinion in regard to it, and for the purpose of giving Congress the impression that there was an overwhelming popular demand for that kind of banking legislation and the kind of currency that goes with it, namely, an asset currency based on human debts and obligations instead of an honest currency based on gold and silver values. Dr. H. Parker Willis had been employed by the Wall Street bankers and propagandists and when the Aldrich measure came to naught and he obtained employment with Carter Glass to assist in drawing a banking bill for the Wilson administration, he appropriated the text of the Aldrich bill for his purpose. There is no secret about it. The text of the Federal Reserve act was tainted from the beginning.

The Government is in the banking business as never before. Against its will it has been made the backer of horse thieves and card sharps, bootleggers, smugglers, speculators, and swindlers in all parts of the world. Through the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks the riffraff of every country is operating on the public credit of this United States Government. Meanwhile, and on account of it, we ourselves are in the midst of the greatest depression we have ever known. Thus the menace to our prosperity, so feared by Senator Lodge, has indeed struck home. From the Atlantic to the Pacific our country has been ravaged and laid waste by the evil practices of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks and the interests which control them. At no time in our history has the general welfare of the people of the United States been at a lower level or the mind of the people so filled with despair. Recently in one of our States 60,000 dwelling houses and farms were brought under the hammer in a single day. According to the Rev. Father Charles E. Coughlin, who has lately testified before a committee of this House, 71,000 houses and farms in Oakland County, Michigan, have been sold and their erstwhile owners dispossessed. Similar occurrences have probably taken place in every county in the United States. The people who have thus been driven out are the wastage of the Federal Reserve act. They are the victims of the dishonest and unscrupulous Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve banks. Their children are the new slaves of the auction blocks in the revival here of the institution of human slavery.

In 1913, before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, Mr. Alexander Lassen made the following statement:

‘But the whole scheme of the Federal Reserve bank with its commercial-paper basis is an impractical, cumbersome machinery, is simply a cover, to find a way to secure the privilege of issuing money and to evade payment of as much tax upon circulation as possible, and then control the issue and maintain, instead of reduce, interest rates. It is a system that, if inaugurated, will prove to the advantage of the few and the detriment of the people of the United States. It will mean continued shortage of actual money and further extension of credits; for when there is a lack of real money people have to borrow credit to their cost.’

A few days before the Federal Reserve act was passed Senator Elihu Root denounced the Federal Reserve bill as an outrage on our liberties and made the following prediction: "Long before we wake up from our dreams of prosperity through an inflated currency, our gold, which alone could have kept us from catastrophe, will have vanished and no rate of interest will tempt it to return." If ever a prophecy came true, that one did. It was impossible, however, for those luminous and instructed thinkers to control the course of events. On December 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve bill became law, and that night Colonel House wrote to his hidden master in Wall Street as follows:

‘I want to say a word of appreciation to you for the silent but no doubt effective work you have done in the interest of currency legislation and to congratulate you that the measure has finally been enacted into law. We all know that an entirely perfect bill, satisfactory to everybody, would have been an impossibility, and I feel quite certain that unless the President had stood as firm as he did we should likely have had no legislation at all. The bill is a good one in many respects; anyhow good enough to start with and to let experience teach us in what direction it needs perfection, which in due time we shall then get. In any event you have personally good reason to feel gratified with what has been accomplished.’

The words "unless the President had stood as firm as he did we should likely have had no legislation at all," were a gentle reminder that it was Colonel House himself, the "holy monk," who had kept the President firm.

The foregoing letter affords striking evidence of the manner in which the predatory interests then sought to control the Government of the United States by surrounding the Executive with the personality and the influence of a financial Judas. Left to itself and to the conduct of its own legislative functions without pressure from the Executive, the Congress would not have passed the Federal Reserve act. According to Colonel House, and since this was his report to his master, we may believe it to be true, the Federal Reserve act was passed because Wilson stood firm; in other words because Wilson was under the guidance and control of the most ferocious usurers in New York through their hireling, House. The Federal Reserve act became law the day before Christmas Eve in the year 1913, and shortly afterwards the German international bankers, Kuhn, Loeb and Co., sent one of their partners here to run it.

Immense sums belonging to our national-bank depositors have been given to Germany on no collateral security whatever. The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks have issued United States currency on mere finance drafts drawn by Germans. Billions upon billions of our money has been pumped into Germany and money is still being pumped into Germany by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. Her worthless paper is still being negotiated here and renewed here on the public credit of the United States Government and at the expense of the American people. On April 27, 1932, the Federal Reserve outfit sent $750,000, belonging to American bank depositors, in gold to Germany. A week later, another $300,000 in gold was shipped to Germany in the same way. About the middle of May $12,000,000 in gold was shipped to Germany by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. Almost every week there is a shipment of gold to Germany. These shipments are not made for profit on the exchange since the German marks are below parity with the dollar.

In 1930, while the speculating banks were getting out of the stock market at the expense of the general public, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks advanced them $13,022,782,000. This shows that when the banks were gambling on the public credit of the United States Government as represented by the Federal Reserve currency, they were subsidized to any amount they required by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. When the swindle began to fall, the bankers knew it in advance and withdrew from the market. They got out with whole skins and left the people of the United States to pay the piper.

* * *

This is the John Law swindle all over again. The theft of Teapot Dome was trifling compared to it. What king ever robbed his subjects to such an extent as the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks have robbed us? Is it any wonder that there have lately been ninety cases of starvation in one of the New York hospitals? Is there any wonder that the children of this country are being dispersed and abandoned?

The Government and the people of the United States have been swindled by swindlers deluxe to whom the acquisition of American gold or a parcel of Federal Reserve notes presented no more difficulty than the drawing up of a worthless acceptance in a country not subject to the laws of the United States, by sharpers not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States courts, sharpers with a strong banking "fence" on this side of the water -- a "fence" acting as a receiver of the worthless paper coming from abroad, endorsing it and getting the currency out of the Federal Reserve banks for it as quickly as possible, exchanging that currency for gold, and in turn transmitting the gold to its foreign confederates.

A few days ago, the President of the United States, with a white face and shaking hands, went before the Senate on behalf of the moneyed interests and asked the Senate to levy a tax on the people so that foreigners might know that the United States would pay its debt to them. Most Americans thought it was the other way around. What do the United States owe to foreigners? When and by whom was the debt incurred? It was incurred by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks when they peddled the signature of this Government to foreigners for a price. It is what the United States Government has to pay to redeem the obligations of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. Are you going to let those thieves get off scot free? Is there one law for the looter who drives up to the door of the United States Treasury in his limousine and another for the United States veterans who are sleeping on the floor of a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Washington?

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is here asking for a large loan from the people and the wage earners and the taxpayers of the United States. It is begging for a hand-out from the Government. It is standing, cap in hand, at the door of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, where all the other jackals have gathered to the feast. It is asking for money that was raised from the people by taxation, and wants this money of the poor for the benefit of Kuhn, Loeb, & Co., the German international bankers. Is there one law for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and another for the needy veterans it threw off its freight cars the other day? Is there one law for sleek and prosperous swindlers who call themselves bankers and another law for the soldiers who defended the United States flag?

It will take us twenty years to redeem our Government. Twenty years of penal servitude to pay off the gambling debts of the traitorous Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks and to earn again that vast flood of American wages and savings, bank deposits, and United States Government credit which the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks exported out of this country to their foreign principals.

The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks lately conducted an anti-hoarding campaign here. Then they took that extra money which they had persuaded the American people to put into the banks and they sent it to Europe along with the rest. In the last several months, they have sent $1,300,000,000 in gold to their foreign employers, their foreign masters, and every dollar of that gold belonged to the people of the United States and was unlawfully taken from them.

This is a Government of the people, by the people, for the people. Consequently, nothing should be concealed from the people. The man who deceives the people is a traitor to the United States. The man who knows or suspects that a crime has been committed and who conceals or covers up that crime is an accessory to it. Mr. Speaker, it is a monstrous thing for this great Nation of people to have its destinies presided over by a traitorous Government board acting in secret concert with international usurers. Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will. No man and no body of men is more entrenched in power than the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. These evil-doers have robbed this country of more than enough money to pay the national debt. What the National Government has permitted the Federal Reserve Board to steal from the people should now be restored to the people. The people have a valid claim against the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. If that claim is enforced, Americans will not need to stand in the breadlines or to suffer and die of starvation in the streets. Homes will be saved, families will be kept together, and American children will not be dispersed and abandoned. The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks owe the United States Government an immense sum of money. We ought to find out the exact amount of the people's claim. We should know the amount of the indebtedness of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks to the people and we should investigate this treacherous and disloyal conduct of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks.

Mr. Chairman, when the Federal Reserve act was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here which would make the savings of an American school-teacher available to a narcotic-drug vendor in Macao. They did not perceive that the United States were to be lowered to the position of a coolie country which has nothing but raw materials and heavy goods for export; that Russia was destined to supply the man power and that this country was to supply financial power to an international superstate -- a superstate controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure.

The people of the United States are being greatly wronged. If they are not, then I do not know what "wronging the people" means. They have been driven from their employments. They have been dispossessed of their homes. They have been evicted from their rented quarters. They have lost their children. They have been left to suffer and to die for lack of shelter, food, clothing, and medicine.

The wealth of the United States and the working capital of the United States has been taken away from them and has either been locked in the vaults of certain banks and the great corporations or exported to foreign countries for the benefit of the foreign customers of those banks and corporations. So far as the people of the United States are concerned, the cupboard is bare. It is true that the warehouses and coal yards and grain elevators are full, but the warehouses and coal yards and grain elevators are padlocked and the great banks and corporations hold the keys. The sack of the United States by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks is the greatest crime in history.

Mr. Chairman, a serious situation confronts the House of Representatives to-day. We are trustees of the people and the rights of the people are being taken away from them. Through the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks, the people are losing the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Their property has been taken from them without due process of law. Mr. Chairman, common decency requires us to examine the public accounts of the Government and see what crimes against the public welfare have and are being committed.

What is needed here is a return to the Constitution of the United States. We need to have a complete divorce of Bank and State. The old struggle that was fought out here in Jackson's day must be fought over again. The independent United States Treasury should be re-established and the Government should keep its own money under lock and key in the building the people provided for that purpose. Asset currency, the device of the swindler, should be done away with. The Government should buy gold and issue United States currency on it. The business of the independent bankers should be restored to them. The State banking systems should be freed from coercion The Federal Reserve districts should be abolished and the State boundaries should be respected. Bank reserves should be kept within the borders of the States whose people own them, and this reserve money of the people should be protected so that the international bankers and acceptance bankers and discount dealers can not draw it away from them. The exchanges should be closed while we are putting our financial affairs in order. The Federal Reserve act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately. Faithless Government officers who have violated their oaths of office should be impeached and brought to trial. Unless this is done by us, I predict that the American people, outraged, robbed, pillaged, insulted, and betrayed as they are in their own land, will rise in their wrath and send a President here who will sweep the money changers out of the temple.

            Notice some of the amazing revelations in Representative McFadden’s speech. First, the communist revolution in Russia was financed by the Federal Reserve. Second, billions of dollars and millions of ounces of the gold deposits of the United States were stolen by the Federal Reserve Banks and sent to Germany. As he spoke in 1932, huge amounts of gold were being sent to Germany on a weekly basis. Why was this money being sent to Germany? To fund the Nazis. It was only a little over eight months later, on January 30, 1933, that Adolph Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Within a year, Hitler had consolidated enough power, with the help of the Federal Reserve, that he declared himself “Fuhrer” (leader) of Germany. The gold he received from the Federal Reserve was used to build planes, ships, tanks, and guns that were used to kill brave Americans during World War II. The Federal Reserve Board and Banks funded both the communists in Russia and the Nazis in Germany, all at the expense of the hard labor of the American middle class.

            Even during World War II, the United States funded the communist Russians through the insane and misleading “lend-lease” program. In addition to our own financial burdens of the war, the U.S. taxpayers funded the Germans and the Russians. The Ashekanazi Jewish Bankers, having funded both sides of the war, made out like bandits.

            As a consequence of Congressman McFadden’s discovery of treasonous criminal conduct, on May 23, 1933, he brought formal criminal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Secretary of the United States Treasury. The petition for Articles of Impeachment was, thereafter, referred to the Judiciary Committee.

            Representative McFadden was Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee and was in a position to do something about the banking monopoly. The Zionist Jews could not allow such a powerful person to oppose their plans. They tried several times to assassinate Representative McFadden. They were ultimately successful; in 1935 they poisoned him. After Representative McFadden’s death, the bill introduced by him was pigeonholed in the Judiciary Committee and has never seen the light of day since.

            The Zionists now have almost completely infiltrated the U.S. government. They control U.S. policies, which are slanted in favor of Israel. They are assisted by the Jesuits in their efforts to control Palestine. Jesuits are Zionists and they want Jewish control of Palestine. They plan on Jerusalem being the new capital of their empire from which the papal antichrist will rule the world. The antichrists throne will be in a rebuilt Jewish Temple. The Jesuits have already orchestrated negotiations between the Israelis and the Vatican, wherein the Vatican will gain control of Jerusalem. In March 1995 a secret cable from the Israeli embassy in Rome to the Israeli Foreign Ministry was leaked to an Israeli radio station (Arutz Sheva). That cable memorialized plans by the Israeli government to hand over Jerusalem to the Vatican. No doubt the plans include removing the Islamic Dome of the Rock from the temple mount, so that the Jewish Temple can be rebuilt. The Jesuit plans would completely fail if the Jews destroyed the Dome of the Rock, so they will probably use the United States to do it. Such an act by the U.S. against the so-called third “holiest” site in all of Islam will bring an Islamic Jihad (holy war) upon the United States. The strategy then for the Zionists is to get the United States into a war against Muslims. That is the purpose behind the destruction of the World Trade Center. It serves the interests of the Zionists to have the United States wipe out the Muslim resistance to Jewish control over the entire Middle East. Be mindful that Jewish control will be Talmudic control, which means communist control.

            The Illuminati have used certain front organizations that they use to infiltrate and control governments, including the U.S. government. One group is called the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Admiral Chester Ward was a member of the CFR for 16 years. He resigned from the CFR when he realized that its goal was to disarm and surrender the United States to an all powerful world government. One stage in that process was the establishment of the United Nations (UN). What are the guiding principles of the UN? UN Secretary General U. Thant was quoted in the April 7, 1970 Los Angeles Times as stating: “[Communist dictator Vladmir] Lenin was a man with a mind fo great clarity and incisiveness and his ideas have had a profound influence on the course of contemporary history. . . . His ideals of peaceful coexistence among states . . . are in line with the aims of the UN Charter.”

            That is not a surprise when one considers that Alger Hiss was the architect of the UN. Alger Hiss was a U.S. State department official who was Secretary General of the UN’s founding conference and coauthor of the UN Charter. Alger Hiss, was also a treasonous soviet spy. How do we know Hiss was a soviet spy? Because former communist Whitaker Chambers came forward and fingered Hiss. Hiss was ultimately convicted of perjury for lying about his espionage activities for the Soviet Union. Hiss likely would have been convicted of espionage itself if he was charged with that offense, but the statute of limitations prevented that charge.

            Former Senator Warren Rudman made the following revealing statement at the September 14, 2001 Washington Program for the Council on Foreign Relations: “There is a chance for the President of the United States to use this disaster [the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the WTC] to carry out what his father - a phrase his father used I think only once, and it hasn’t been used since - and that is a new world order.” George W. Bush’s Father’s vision referred to by Senator Rudman was a vision of a one world government under the auspices of the UN. The UN is simply a communist front organization. This new world order of which the CFR is so fond, is a one world communist government. As we have seen, communism is Zionism!

            Washington Post ombudsman Richard Harwood stated that the CFR is the nearest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States. He wrote the following in the October 30, 1993 issue of the Washington Post:

The president is a member. So is his secretary of state, the deputy secretary of state, all five of the undersecretaries, several of the assistant secretaries and the department's legal adviser. The president's national security adviser and his deputy are members. The director of Central Intelligence (like all previous directors) and the chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board are members. The secretary of defense, three undersecretaries and at least four assistant secretaries are members. The secretaries of the departments of housing and urban development, interior, health and human services and the chief White House public relations man ... along with the speaker of the House [are members]....

This is not a retinue of people who "look like America," as the President once put it, but they very definitely look like the people who, for more than half a century, have managed our international affairs and our military-industrial complex.

            Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley was granted unprecedented access to the secret records of the CFR and wrote in his 1966 book Tragedy and Hope, that the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. are completely controlled behind the scenes by the CFR. Quigley agreed with the plans of the CFR stating that “the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy." That is exactly what we see with each change from a Democratic to a Republican administration and vice versa there is no real change in domestic or foreign policy. There is an unchecked treasonous march toward world government led by the Zionist pied pipers.

            Woodrow Wilson was oppressed and controlled by a sinister Zionist cabal, which he described in his 1913 book The New Freedom: "Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

             The CIA, the State Department, and the FBI have been infiltrated by these Zionist agents and their fellow travelers. The policies of the U.S. government, consequently, have been subverted to the benefit of the Zionists and to the detriment of the U.S. citizens. On March 9, 1978 Michael Saba witnessed firsthand the power and influence of the Jews in the United States government. He happened to be seated out of view but adjacent to a table where Stephen Bryen, an official of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee met with official representatives of Israel at the Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C. What struck Mr. Saba was that the conversation between Bryen and the Israeli officials was not a general discussion but rather a strategy meeting on how the Israeli delegation could affect United States foreign policy to the benefit of Israel. What surprised Mr. Saba was that Bryen used the pronoun “we” when he expressed the position of the Israeli government and the pronoun “they”when he described the position of the United States government. Mr. Saba had the distinct impression that Mr. Bryen’s loyalties were to Israel rather than to the United States. In other words, Mr. Bryen was a spy. During the discussion Mr. Bryen offered top secret Pentagon documents regarding Arab military bases in the Middle East.

            Once Mr. Saba revealed the events to the U.S. Justice Department, he found out the power that the Jews have in the United States government. At every turn, the investigation of his allegations were thwarted. In addition, despite the ongoing investigation of Mr. Bryen by the U.S. Justice Department, Bryen was allowed to become the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration. The handling of the Bryan espionage revealed that the highest levels of the U.S. government was infiltrated by a network of Jews that was beholden to Israel. Not only were elements in the U.S. government working to protect Bryen, but the major media did everything possible to kill the story. Whiled initially reporters were very interested in the story, suddenly they became uninterested once they returned to their offices. Mr. Saba labeled this interlocking Jewish web the Armageddon Network.

            The infamous attack on the USS Liberty demonstrates the power of the Jews in the U.S. government. During the Israeli Six Day War, the Liberty, an American intelligence gathering ship, was sailing in international waters. Apparently the Liberty had discovered something that the Israelis government did not want revealed. Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats attacked the Liberty. The attack lasted for 75 minutes, during which U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and Lyndon Johnson ordered the Admiral on a nearby aircraft carrier to recall his jets and NOT to come to the Liberty's aid.

            Some have speculated that the Israelis may have been concerned that the Liberty might detect the cold blooded murder of 150 Egyptian POWs by the Israelis. Others have suggested that the intent of the attack was to sink the vessel and kill the entire crew and then blame the massacre on the Egyptians; thus the Americans would enter the conflict on the side of the Israelis. That theory is supported by the nature of the attack. Israeli aircraft flew approximately 13 close up reconnaissance sorties on a day with clear skies over the six hours between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Then at approximately 2:00 p.m. unmarked aircraft came in from all directions at once in a massive air attack that included machine gun fire, rocket attacks, and even the dropping of napalm bombs on the ship. The aircraft had no identifying markings, which was in violation of the Geneva Convention. Because the aircraft were unmarked, the sailors on the USS Liberty did not know at the time of the attack who were the attacking forces. The objective of the first waive of attacks was to knock out the communications capability of the ship. The attackers succeeded, but the sailors on the Liberty were able to rig a communications antenna and transmit an S.O.S., which was received by the Sixth Fleet. However, MacNamara and Johnson treasonously recalled the American jets sent to defend the Liberty.

            The initial air attack was followed by a torpedo attack by 3 torpedo boats, which fired 6 torpedoes at the Liberty, with one hit. The torpedo hit produced a huge gaping hole on the side of the ship, but miraculously it did not sink. The life rafts were launched, but they were immediately shot up by machine gun fire from the jets. It was clear to those on board the Liberty that the intent was to sink the ship and leave no survivors. An Israeli helicopter gun ship made an appearance and waited nearby expecting the Liberty to sink. The inferred mission of the gun ship was to machine gun any life boats and any one who was floating in the water to ensure that there would be no survivors. When the Liberty did not sink as expected, the helicopter flew off. If the Israelis had succeeded in their mission and there had been no survivors, the Israelis and the Zionists in the U.S. Government could lay the blame for the attack on Egypt and thus the U.S. would have been drawn into the war on the side of Israel. The attack on the USS Liberty could be just another case in the long history of Israel acting as agent provocateur.

            David Lewis of Lemington, Vermont, was a sailor on the Liberty when it was attacked. In an interview, Lewis said Israel had to know it was targeting an American ship. He said a U.S. flag was flying that day and Israel shot it full of holes. He said that the sailors on the ship quickly hoisted another American flag, which was a much bigger one, to show Israel it was a U.S. vessel. "No trained individual could be that inept," said Lewis of the Israeli forces.

            It is not just the subjective opinion of one sailor that the attack was deliberate, it is also the considered conclusion reached by the lead investigators who interviewed the other witnesses and examined the evidence. Jews, however, had such complete control over the reigns of the U.S. government that they controlled the outcome of the military investigation into the attack on the USS Liberty. On October 22, 2003, Ward Boston, a retired captain and a former navy lawyer who was the senior legal counsel in the military investigation of the June 8,1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty released a sworn affidavit at a Capitol Hill news conference. In the affidavit Boston stated that former President Lyndon Johnson and defense secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered those leading the investigation into the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty to “conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.” Boston said in the sworn statement that he stayed silent for years because he's a military man, and "when orders come, I follow them."

            He said he felt compelled to "share the truth" following the publication of a recent book, The Liberty Incident, by Jay Cristol, which concluded the attack was unintentional. Cristol, is a retired Navy pilot and member of the judge advocate's office. Boston further stated in his affidavit: "The evidence was clear. Both Admiral (Isaac) Kidd and I believed with certainty that this attack, which killed 34 America sailors and injured 172 others, was a deliberate effort to sink an American ship and murder its entire crew. I am certain that the Israeli pilots that undertook the attack as well as their superiors who had ordered the attack, were aware the ship was American." His affidavit continued: "I am outraged at the efforts of apologists for Israel in this country to claim this attack was a case of 'mistaken identity,'" he wrote. In particular, the recent publication of Jay Cristol's book, the 'Liberty Incident,' twists the facts and misrepresents the views of those of us who investigated the attack. It is Cristol's insidious attempt to whitewash the facts that has pushed me to speak out."

            Boston said "I saw the flag, which visibly identified the ship as American, riddled with bullet holes, and heard testimony that made it clear the Israelis intended there be no survivors." Admiral Kidd and Boston traveled to Malta to conduct the inquiry into the attack. The USS Liberty had been taken to Malta for repairs and care of the wounded. Though both Kidd and Boston agreed the attack was intentional, Kidd prepared a report that went with the Israeli version of events. "I know from personal conversations I had with Admiral Kidd that President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense (Robert) McNamara ordered him to conclude the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity,'" Boston's affidavit said.

            There is additional clear and convincing evidence that proves beyond any doubt that the Israeli attack was intentional. Communications between the attacking Israeli jets and their headquarters were intercepted by U.S. Military electronic surveillance planes as the aircraft approached the USS Liberty. The Israeli pilots were clearly ordered by their controllers to find and quickly sink "the American ship" (the USS Liberty). Those intercepted communications were almost simultaneously translated and broadcast from a U.S. Air Force C130 surveillance plane flying near the scene to an intelligence site at Crete. The communications were then immediately sent to Washington and to other stations as "Critical Intelligence," (known as CRTICs). CRTICs are sent via the fastest and most secure means available. These reports routinely arrived in the White House, State Department, and Pentagon within ten minutes or less of their interception. Israel was caught in the act and their treachery was known to the highest levels of the US government, before the attack was even completed. At the time Johnson talked to Admiral Geis nobody on the Liberty nor the Sixth Fleet knew who the attackers were, because the attacking Israeli jets were unmarked. The receipt of the CRITIC reports by Johnson (and the possibility of direct communications by him with Israel) would explain how President Johnson knew that the attack on the Liberty was an attack by an ally (Israel) when he ordered Admiral Geis not to defend the Liberty.

            Former U.S. Air Force Intelligence Analyst Stephen Forslund recalls seeing the communication intercepts of the Israeli attack on the Liberty as follows:

Much discussion has gone on about what the NSA archives hold about the Liberty attack. The latest I read, stated that the only and final "tapes" that the NSA has released show that helicopters sent by Israel to the site of the attack on the Liberty, after the attack, were unaware of her nationality. Much importance is put on this issue by different factions in this debate. Parties state that these are the only tapes of intercepts that exist. That may very well be true, now. Nothing I can say will change anyone's mind but I have to state, for my own peace of mind, what I witnessed as an all source intelligence analyst for the U.S. Air Force during the 6 day war.

There were other intercepts, and I and many others like me, read transcripts of the air-to-air and air-to-ground communications of the fighters who attacked the USS Liberty. We read these in real time during the day the attack occurred. These intercepts were preceded by many others we read that week that started with the opening attack by Israel in the war and included intercepts of messages between the USA and Israel in which our government stated their knowledge of the Israeli's pre-emptive attack that began the war and warned Israel to cease their activities.

On the day of the attack on the Liberty, I read yellow teletype sheets that spewed from the machines in front of me all day. We obtained our input from a variety of sources including the NSA. The teletypes were raw translations of intercepts of Israeli air-to-air and air-to-ground communications between jet aircraft and their ground controller. I read page after page of these transcripts that day as it went on and on. The transcripts made specific reference to the efforts to direct the jets to the target which was identified as American numerous times by the ground controller. Upon arrival, the aircraft specifically identified the target and mentioned the American flag she was flying. There were frequent operational transmissions from the pilots to the ground base describing the strafing runs. The ground control began asking about the status of the target and whether it was sinking. They stressed that the target must be sunk and leave no trace. The pilots stated they had made several runs and the target was still floating. The ground control station re-iterated that it was urgent that the target be sunk, leaving no trace. There was a detectable level of frustration evident in the transmissions over the fact that the aircraft were unable to accomplish the mission quickly and totally.

The aircraft eventually broke off and we received no further transcripts of the event. I have since learned in later descriptions of the attack that torpedo boats attacked the Liberty also. I saw neither intercepts nor analyses that addressed that attack. An hour or two later I was discussing the event with a team member and he stated they had received, during the time frame of the attack, an intercept of a US State Department message to Israel stating that the United States had full evidence of what had occurred in the attack on the Liberty and strongly warning Israel to cease activities immediately.

Imagine my surprise when, upon going home that night, I was watching the evening news and a short piece that gave vague reference to a mistaken attack by Israel upon an American ship off Sinai came on. The next day there was a small article buried in the A section of the paper stating that there had been an accidental attack on the USS Liberty and that the governments involved were in discussions. I saw little mention after that in the popular press and, of course, said nothing for the next 36 years.

I read these discussions debating whether Israel intentionally attacked the USS Liberty and what their motivation would have been for a deliberate attack. I can't debate their motivation. But, I will carry the memory of those transcripts with me until I die. We all lost our virginity that day.

            The statement of Intelligence Analyst Forslund is supported by James Ronald Gotcher, III, who was a Sergeant in the United States Air Force, assigned to the 6924th Security Squadron, Da Nang, in the Republic of Vietnam, when on June 8, 1967, CRITIC message that the USS Liberty was under attack by Israel. In Gotcher’s September 2, 2003, sworn affidavit, quoted in part below, he states:

I, James Ronald Gotcher, do declare under penalty of perjury that the following statement is true and complete, and based entirely upon my personal knowledge gained through direct observation, unless specifically stated otherwise:

* * * 7. It was clear from the explicit statements made by both the aircraft crews and the controllers that the aircraft were flying a planned mission to find and sink USS Liberty.

8. My understanding of what I read led me to conclude that the Israeli pilots were making every effort possible to sink USS Liberty and were very frustrated by their inability to do so.

9. Approximately ten days to two weeks later, we received an internal NSA report, summarizing the Agency’s findings. The report stated, in no uncertain terms, that the attack was planned in advance and deliberately executed. The mission was to sink USS Liberty.

10. A few days after the report arrived, another message came through directing the document control officer to gather and destroy all copies of both the rough and final intercept translations, as well as the subsequently issued report.

11. After the destruction of those documents, I saw nothing further on this subject.

12. I have read the translated transcripts, released by the Israeli government, which purport to be actual transcripts of the air to ground communications between the controllers and the attacking aircraft. I know this document to be a fabrication because I have read the actual intercepts and they were nothing like this. It is not possible that the differences could be due to different translations being used.

13. If called upon to testify, I am competent to testify to all of the foregoing on the basis of direct observation and personal knowledge.

            To add to the clear and convincing evidence that the attack on the Liberty by Israel was deliberate, we have former Israeli military personnel who were there on the scene and have since revealed the truth. James M. Ennes Jr, in his book Assault on the Liberty, reports the following:

Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base, where he was arrested.

Later, a dual-citizen Israeli major told survivors that he was in an Israeli war room where he heard that pilot's radio report. The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking an American ship, the major said. He recanted the statement only after he received threatening phone calls from Israel.

            Lieutenant Commander David E. Lewis, the officer in charge of Liberty's Research Department, had a meeting with Rear Admiral Lawrence R. Geis shortly after the Liberty attack. Admiral Geis was the officer in charge of the embarked aircraft in both the USS America and USS Saratoga. Commander Lewis stated that Admiral Geis told him the following: Admiral Geis “said that he wanted somebody to know that we weren't forgotten... attempts HAD been made to come to our assistance. He said that he had launched a flight of aircraft to come to our assistance, and he had then called Washington. Secretary McNamara came on the line and ordered the recall of the aircraft, which he did. Concurrently, he said that since he suspected that they were afraid that there might have been nuclear weapons on board he reconfigured another flight of aircraft... strictly conventional weaponry... and re-launched it. After the second launch, he again called Washington to let them know what was going on. Again, Secretary McNamara ordered the aircraft recalled. Not understanding why, he requested confirmation of the order, and the next higher in command came on to confirm that...President Johnson... with the instructions that the aircraft were to be returned, that he would not have his allies embarrassed, he didn't care who was killed or what was done to the ship...words to that effect. With that, Admiral Geis swore me to secrecy for his lifetime. I had been silent up until I found out from Admiral Moorer that Admiral Geis had passed away.”

            Thirty four Americans were killed and 172 wounded in the attack. Israel claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. However, U.S. intelligence revealed that it was a deliberate attack ordered by Israeli General Moshe Dyan. Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk and former Joint Chief of Staff Chairman, Admiral Thomas Moorer have both stated that the Israeli attack was deliberate. That incident gives some idea of the power and control that the Jews have in the U.S. government. They can control the very apex of the executive branch of government to order the military to stand by while navy sailors are being massacred by the Israeli military.

              Most do not know that Johnson was a crypto-Jew. His policies and conduct toward Israel revealed him as an ardent Zionist. As Commander in Chief of the Army and the Navy, he treasonously prevented the defense of the USS Liberty while it was under attack by Israeli forces and then ordered that the official report of the incident conceal the deliberate nature of the attack. Presumably, Johnson had received the CRTIC communication and therefore knew that the Israelis intended to sink the ship, and he was willing to allow that to happen. One overlooked aspect of the attack on the Liberty is that the Israelis would never have attacked the Liberty unless they could be certain that the Liberty would not be defended by the Sixth Fleet. The only reasonable conclusion is that there must have been coordination between the highest levels of the U.S. government and the Israelis government prior to and during the attack, whereby the Israelis were assured that the Liberty would not be defended. That is treason! National disloyalty is the hallmark of a Zionist Jew. The disloyalty shown by President Lyndon Johnson towards his country during the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty is illustrative of that fact. As a Zionist, Johnson’s first loyalty was to Israel. Although he was President of the United States, and as such Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, he sided with Israel when Israel attacked the United States. Investigative writer, Salvador Astucia, in his book, Opium Lords, explains Lyndon Johnson’s Jewish heritage:

According to Jewish law, if a person’s mother is Jewish, then that person is also Jewish, regardless of the fathers ethnicity or religion. The facts indicate that both of Lyndon Johnson’s great-grandparents, on the maternal side, were Jewish. These were the grandparents of Lyndon’s mother, Rebecca Baines. Their names were John S. Huffman and Mary Elizabeth Perrin. John Huffman’s mother was Suzanne Ament, a common Jewish name. Perrin is also a common Jewish name. Huffman and Perrin had a daughter, Ruth Ament Huffman, who married Joseph Baines and together they had a daughter, Rebekah Baines, Lyndon Johnson’s mother. The line of Jewish mothers can be traced back three generations in Lyndon Johnson’s family tree. There is little doubt that he was Jewish.

            Another example of both the control of the Jews over those in government and the international (translation: anti-national) nature of Jews is the Mark Rich case. In the early 1980's billionaire Mark Rich and his partner were under investigation for violations of U.S. federal law as a result of a criminal scheme he conducted through his commodities trading firm Mark Rich & Co., A.G. When in June 1983 Rich and his cohorts realized that they were going to be indicted, they fled from the United States. In September 1983, a federal grand jury issued a 51 count indictment against Mark Rich, his partner Pincus Green, and others for wire fraud, mail fraud, racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, tax evasion, and trading with the enemy. He traded with Iran while American hostages were being held captive during the Iran hostage crisis. Later, in March 1984, the Government filed a 65 count superseding indictment.

            Both Rich and Green demonstrated their contempt for the United States by forfeiting their U.S. citizenship and acquired Israeli citizenship. Rich also became a citizen of Spain. The Spanish and Israeli governments refused to extradite Rich or Green to the United States to face prosecution. Because Rich’s attorneys could not convince the U.S. Attorney in New York to dismiss the charges, they decided to obtain a pardon from the President of the United States, Bill Clinton. Rich’s wife, Denise Rich, donated $450,000 to the Bill Clinton library fund and $1.1 million to Democratic causes, including Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Senate campaign. Next, Rich hired former Clinton White House Counsel Jack Quinn to help with the negotiations. Perhaps most telling regarding the Jewish element in the pardons was the enlistment of then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, each of whom contacted President Clinton to lobby for Rich and Green to be pardoned.

            On January 20, 2001, Bill Clinton’s last day as President of the United States, he granted a full and unconditional pardon to 140 people, including Mark Rich and Pincus Green. Rich and Green were pardoned in violation of the Rules Governing Petitions for Executive Clemency, which required that the pardon petition be submitted to the Department of Justice Pardon Attorney. Further, the federal rules required an investigation of the petition. Neither of those things were done. Perhaps most shocking is that Rich and Green were pardoned while still fugitives from justice. Prior to Clinton’s pardon of Rich and Green, no President in the history of the United States had ever pardoned a fugitive from justice.

            In many instances the U.S. government has funded terrorist agent provocateurs. For example, it has been commonly reported that the CIA funded Osama Bin Laden to the tune of three billion dollars. Some may respond that the CIA certainly did not expect that he would turn on us and destroy the World Trade Center. Let us examine that argument.

            When the U.S. decided to back the Mujahadeen parties that made up the Afghan allied resistance the U.S. aid overwhelmingly flowed to the three most ineffective elements of the resistance. Those elements just happened to be the most virulently anti-American parties of the alliance: the Hez-i-Islami (Party of Islam), led by Gulbaddin Hekmatyar; the Jamiat-i-Islami (Islamic Society), led by Professor Burhanuddin Rabbani and his military commander Ahmed Shah Masood; and Ittehad Islami (Islamic Unity), led by professor Abdul Rasul Sayyaf.

            Sibgratullah Mojadidi, a respected Islamic religious leader who was elected president of the Afgahn government-in-exile by the Mujahadeen, repeatedly warned the U.S. of their “mistake” to fund these groups. He informed the U.S. government that Hekmatyar, for one, was murdering his own Mujahadeen allies and collaborating with the communists. As a result of these revelations the U.S. government took an official position of withholding aid from Hekmatyar. Kurt Lohbeck, an independent observer and author of Holy War, Unholy Victory: Eyewitness to the CIA’s Secret War in Afghanistan, was assured by U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Robert Oakley, in 1988 that all aid to Hekmatyear would cease. One year later, at a press briefing, Oakley stated categorically that all aid to Hekmatyear had been stopped completely. That official U.S. government announcement was a deception. One week after that press briefing, Lohbeck personally followed a 50 truck convoy of U.S. weapons and supplies from the Peshawar airport directly to Hekmatyar’s camp! Clearly the CIA knew the nature of the group they were assisting and yet continued to do so.

            With that in mind let us shift focus to Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman. Sheik Omar was the leader of the terrorist group behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Omar’s plan was to topple one tower into the other causing both to collapse. Let us look at the odd behavior of the CIA and FBI toward Sheik Omar. It will give us a window into who may be responsible for the September 11, 2001 destruction of the twin towers. Sheik Omar was an anti-American Islamic cleric who advocated a holy war against American and Western countries. His hatred for the U.S. was no secret, he had preached his venomous hate filled sermons in the population centers of Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Germany, England, and even the U.S.

            How did Omar get into the U.S.? He got in through the CIA of course. A CIA agent in Khartoum, Sudan posed as an official at the U.S. Consulate and obtained a visa for Sheik Omar. Eight months after his arrival in the U.S., his visa was revoked and he was put on an INS watch list for deportation. Nonetheless, the U.S. government subsequently gave him a green card. It gets worse, the FBI knew the Omar’s group planned to blow up the World Trade Center. In November 1990, the FBI seized 49 boxes of documents from the apartment of El Sayyid Nosair, who had assassinated militant Jewish Rabbi Meir Kahane. Among the materials seized by the FBI were detailed pictures of famous buildings, including the World Trade Center and sermons by Sheik Omar urging his followers to “destroy the edifices of capitalism.”

            That is not all the FBI had. They also had inside information. Emad A. Salem, who was Sheik Omar’s bodyguard, was an FBI informant. The FBI, though, had a curiously timed fit of incompetence. As reported by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the FBI pulled Salem from the operation. As we shall see later, Salem was pulled from the investigation after the bombs were constructed.

In June 1992 El-Gabrowny visited Nosair again in prison. Upon his return, he instructed Salem and Shinawy that Nosair wanted to see them. Salem testified that, when they made the visit, Nosair berated them for not proceeding with bombing plans and directed Shinawy to seek a fatwa from Abdel Rahman approving the bombings. On the way home from the visit, Shinaway told Salem that the planned operation would involve twelve bombs. Shinawy also explained that they would need guns in case they encountered police during the deployment, indicating that his source for firearms was Hampton-El. Two days later Salem went to El-Gabrowny's house and found Shinawy already there. The three agreed that they would try to secure a "safehouse" for constructing bombs, and El-Gabrowny committed to attempt to obtain detonators from Afghanistan. A few days later, Shinawy summoned Salem to the Abu Bakr Mosque where he introduced Salem to Hampton-El. Salem and Shinaway explained to Hampton-El that they were making bombs but that they were having trouble getting detonators. Hampton-El said that he had access to "ready-made bombs" for $900 to $1,000 apiece. Tr. 4932-33, 6485-86. He also offered to obtain a handgun for Salem. A few days later Shinaway gave Salem a handgun presumably from Hampton-El. In early July 1992, a rift developed between Salem and the FBI, and it was agreed that Salem's undercover investigation would be terminated.

            It was revealed during the trial that in addition to Salem, an Egyptian spy was among t
