Grayzone 9/11 Klingon-Saudi update
2023-04-22
[Grayzone] 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 the late Osama bin Laden
...... who is now beyond all cares and woe......
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.

Obtained by SpyTalk, the filing is a 21-page declaration by Don Canestraro, a lead investigator for the Office of Military Commissions, the legal body overseeing the cases of 9/11 defendants. It summarizes classified government discovery disclosures, and private interviews he conducted with anonymous high-ranking CIA and FBI officials. Many agents who spoke to Canestraro headed up Operation Encore, the Bureau’s aborted, long-running probe into Saudi government connections to the 9/11 attack.

Despite conducting multiple lengthy interviews with a range of witnesses, producing hundreds of pages of evidence, formally investigating several Saudi officials, and launching a grand jury to probe a Riyadh-run US-based support network for the hijackers, Encore was abruptly terminated in 2016. This was purportedly due to a byzantine intra-FBI bust-up over investigative methods.

#4  And then there was the nice Saudi passport belonging to one of the hijackers that they "found" on a NY street in perfect condition after a plane crash into an WTC office building and consequent raging inferno and building collapse.

#2  Remember the "Chinese Wall" between the FBI and CIA regarding 9/11 info on the Saudi's.

#1  Mark Rossini, one of the FBI agents in question, has alleged. “If we had picked up the phone and called the Bureau, I would’ve been violating the law. I…would’ve been removed from the building that day. I would’ve had my clearances suspended, and I would be gone.”

Survivors guilt. He knew what was taking place regarding the Agency agent recruitment. Telephonic notification was 'one' method, there were others. His clearance and job were more important that the lives of 3000 Americans.
