After all these years, the truth about 9/11 remains not only one of the most controversial topics in political discourse, but also one of the most impactful — for the ramifications of a 9/11 coverup are dark and disturbing.
It reveals something that students of the Deep State have long understood but most average citizens are afraid to believe: That, by and large, our government, and those who truly pull its strings, not only not care about us, but they hold us in contempt and want us dead.

This is the conclusion from shocking new evidence suggesting that at least some of the 9/11 hijackers were, in fact, agents of the Central Intelligence Agency — a federal institution supposed to be keeping American citizens safe, not slaughtering them en masse.
As the watchdog group Florida Bulldog notes, a sworn declaration by Donald Canestraro, an investigator for the Office of Military Commissions (part of the Department of Defense’s Military Commissions Defense Organization) reveals that the CIA refused to provide the FBI with knowledge that could have prevented the September 11, 2001 attack.
Canestraro is part of the defense team for Ammar al-Baluchi, a Pakistani and Guantanamo detainee who, along with four others, is awaiting trial for allegedly planning the 9/11 attack. Canestraro’s declaration is the product of interviews with 11 former FBI agents, two former CIA agents, a CNN journalist, former Deputy National Security Advisor Richard Clarke, and former Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), who was the co-chair of Congress’ Joint Inquiry into 9/11.
Florida Bulldog reports:
It is nevertheless remarkable for its accounts supporting the veracity of long public, yet highly disturbing allegations that top CIA officials, including Director George Tenet, intentionally withheld vital intelligence from the FBI that might have prevented the Sept. 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington. Specifically, that known operatives and future hijackers Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar had entered the U.S. in Los Angeles shortly after attending an al Qaeda summit meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in early January 2000.
The new accounts, mostly obtained during interviews in 2016 and 2018, flesh out that narrative. They also support the ominous theory, never fully explored by either the 9/11 Commission or Congress, that the CIA kept silent because it was secretly working hand in glove with its Saudi Arabian counterpart to recruit Hazmi and Mihdhar as informants.
The 22-page declaration is marked “Controlled Unclassified Information,” or CUI for short. According to the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, CUI is different from “confidential” and is defined as “government created or owned information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls consistent with applicable laws, regulations and government wide policies.”
Per the declaration, former NSA Deputy Clarke was one of several sources who said the CIA did not tell the FBI about Mihdhar and Hazmi because the agency was trying to recruit the two terrorists by means of a “false flag” operation.
“According to Mr. Clarke, this ‘false flag’ operation would have involved [Saudi intelligence officer Omar] Al-Bayoumi befriending the two hijackers by attempting to convince them that he was sympathetic to their cause,” wrote Canestraro.
Eventually, the CIA lost track of Mihdhar and Hazmi.
Furthermore, Canestraro found that the CIA dispatched an agent to the FBI field office in San Diego for the ostensible purpose of information-sharing, when in reality it was a way for the CIA to spy on the bureau.
And the declaration maintains that the FBI conducted its own coverup:
Ex-FBI agent CS-23 said that when the FBI became aware of Omar Bayoumi’s affiliation with Saudi Intelligence and the CIA’s recruitment operation through Bayoumi after 9/11, “senior FBI officials suppressed investigations into the above. CS-23 also told me that FBI agents testifying before (Congress’s) Joint Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks were instructed not to reveal the full extent of Saudi involvement with Al-Qaeda,” Canestraro’s declaration says.
The 9/11 attack was one of the most transformative events in American history; it provided the government with the justification it needed to create a surveillance state with the passage of the Patriot Act, destroying our constitutional rights and privacy in the process. It gave the government grounds to invade the Middle East, thrusting the country into costly and ultimately futile wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Given the “usefulness” which 9/11 has had for the Deep State, it is not illogical to believe it feasible that the government would have knowingly allowed or even orchestrated the attacks.
