 French Intelligence Warned of Airline Terror Plot in 2001Posted on Apr 16, 2007Months before 9/11, French intelligence warned the CIA that al-Qaida was planning an attack involving airplanes, according to classified documents and former French intelligence officials. The information was vague and possibly misleading, but it speaks to the intelligence community’s inability to coalesce fragmentary warnings into something concrete and comprehensive.

Why does everyone act as if only “intelligence agencies” knew that Osama bin Laden was planning to hijack airliners?
Report thisOn June 23 of 2001 the Airline Industry World News sent an email alertto 500,000 readers saying that Osama bin Laden was planning an attack on US
airlines in the next few weeks.
They even quoted an MBC interview with an Al Qaeda spokesman, with Osama bin Laden present to make sure he did not reveal to much, that took place on June 21, 2001 in which the spokesman threatened a “devastating blow against the US”.
If the Airline Industry World News knew then the
airlines knew and the FAA knew and everyone knew.
Also John Miller, in his book The Cell, descibes
talking to an Al Qaeda informant in April of 2001
who told him that Al Qaeda was training airplane HIJACKERS.
John Miller worked for ABC news at the time.
Also in June 2001 the guy who tried to bomb Los Angeles International Airport was on trial and he described the fact that Al Qaeda was training
airplane HIJACKERS.
This was widely known information for months yet the hijack threat was never publicly reported even though
an unamed “terrorist attack” was anticipated in the summer of 2001.

IAF jets forced to buzz US airliner - Apr. 11, 2007: “The Israeli Air Force came very close Wednesday afternoon to intercepting and destroying a civilian airliner that had failed to make contact with Air Traffic Control and comply with international regulations as it approached the country’s airspace…......... Continental Airlines Flight 90 from Newark with 251 passengers landed safely in Tel Aviv at 4:30 this afternoon ......... there was a temporary lapse in communications between the plane and the Air Traffic Control tower…....” http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1176152772518&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull
Also, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz delivering a June 2001 West Point commencement speech wherein he focused on surprise attacks—making heavy reference to Pearl Harbor. Wolfowitz illustrated, just months before the infamous 9/11 attacks, that Pearl Harbor is interesting in that it was “preceded by an astonishing number of unheeded warnings and missed signals.” Search “Paul Wolfowitz Pearl Harbor” and you will find another interesting trail - http://www.defenselink.mil/speeches/speech.aspx?speechid=363

This is old news. Check out Paul Thompson’s Absolutey briliant 9/11 timeline @:

and see what real investigative journalism used to be. As the old saying goes:“Follow the Money”. He did. It worked. You’ll gasp.

I had begun to despair about the state of the US educational system, but given the number Laz-E-Boy Material Physicists, Intelligence Analysts and Demolition Experts it has produced, I now conclude we are the best educated populate in the universe. Compare that to what the egghead fakers over at NIST have to say:

If you simply must see what all the Loose Change hoopla is about, I recommend watching the annotated Screw Loose Change version, which scene-by-scene deconstructs the misrepresentations, omissions and outright lies of that film.

I don’t believe for a second that al-Qaida and bin Laden were involved with 9/11. bin Laden isn’t even wanted by the FBI for 9/11! Check http://www.fbi.gov for yourself.
The “official” story doesn’t even follow the laws of physics…or common sense, for that matter.
The 9/11 Commission was a sham and a cover-up.
Please watch the Google videos:

There have been other reports that friendly foreign intelligence services gave warnings to the Bush-Cheney administration.
US Government anti-terror and intelligence experts also reportedly provided information to Bush-Cheney officials about the high risk of an attack.
This is why so many people have questions and concerns about 9/11. For more on this:
