    The redactions to 9/11 report were entirely to protect KSA’s full cooperation with US intelligence in making 9/11 happen. Dancing Israelis, and FBI letting them all escape, went home to Tel Aviv to explain “they were there to document the event”. Dick Cheney happening to supervise a NORAD training exercise, at all, much less on the same day, and directing response cannot be a coincidence. Larry Silverstein’s $1B asbestos problem, raising insurance coverage, and authority over NYFD to pull WTC 7 the same day, shows not only abnormal prescience, but direct lines to higher authority to make his interests happen. The FBI never determined that OBL was responsible, because higher ups prevented their investigation.

      Don’t forget the School of the Americas training of particular saudi nationals. They’ve rebranded since then but still kicking it in GA.

        Wahabbists are largely hated in the Muslim world by both sunnis and shia once you get out of SA, UAE & Turkey. The idea of Wahabbism wasn’t what it is now.

        A lot of bad things that happened in the last 40 years could easily be linked to them.

        On top of my head:

        • Sudan starvation
        • Yemen starvation
        • The black decade/terrorism in Algeria
        • Terrorism in Europe, US & Russia
        • Terrorism in Syria (Yazidis mass rape of under age girls, slaughter by HTS/ISIS)
        • Terrrorism in large parts of Sahel region of Africa (with mass rape & mass slaughter)

        My brain hurst when I read that HTS members admitting they are receiving large support from the US. Or one of the Baghdadi wives heading home in the UK after he got killed.

    I was around then…the first three weeks the narrative was the trail can lead anywhere as long as it doesn’t lead to Saudi Arabia…after that it was the trail can lead anywhere as long as it leads to Iraq.

    The US deserved 9/11. You can’t be apathetic to the countless atrocities your government commits with your tax dollars and then act surprised when the consequences of those atrocities come back to bite you in the ass.

    Hot take: The US has ZERO right to “mourn” 9/11 or call it a tragedy because they have done 9/11 hundreds of times over in the Middle East. You don’t get to “never forget” when you’ve forgotten what you did afterward. To be clear, the friends and families of 9/11 victims have every right to mourn, but not the US government.
