We all have those, it isn’t about being nice, or being not so nice. They merely are and they are at times thrust upon us by outside influences. As such I had a few when I was told that ‘Federal judge allows 9/11 lawsuit against Saudi Arabia to proceed’ (at https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/federal-judge-allows-9-11-lawsuit-against-saudi-arabia-to-proceed/3672771) I was puzzled. Saudi Arabia was on the side of America as they hunt Al Qaeda, more over there has been more than one report that the CIA aided Osama Bin Laden in their needs in the time frame From 1979 to 1992, as part of CIA activities in Afghanistan, specifically Operation Cyclone. As such why aren’t these people suing the CIA? I am not saying that is the best course of action. I am merely saying that if justice is what you are seeking, that might be one way to go. Of course if it is money you seek, the CIA might not have as much. I got a lot from CBS as well.
They give me (at https://www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-families-911-victims-sue-saudi-arabia-over-hijackers/) ‘Judge allows families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for allegedly helping hijackers’ the setting becomes, what kind of assistance has been given? And lets not forget Osama Bin Laden as a CIA asset would have been able to thwart any ideology and assistance setting to make people pay for what they need. It is a CIA tactic, as such ‘what gives?’
That is the setting we need to look at. So whilst we are looking at “A federal judge in New York denied a motion by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to dismiss a lawsuit brought by families of 9/11 victims who are seeking to hold the Middle Eastern country responsible for potentially providing support to the hijackers, allowing the suit to proceed.” As well as “Saudi Arabia had the suit temporarily dismissed in 2015, before the dismissal was overturned by a federal appeals court. While the appeal was pending in 2016, Congress enacted a law known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, which allowed victims of terror attacks to sue foreign governments and individuals if they provided material support to the attackers. It also gave U.S. courts jurisdiction over potential lawsuits filed over injuries and deaths in attacks on U.S. soil.” Here I get a laughing spell. You see when we consider “Congress enacted a law known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act” this little act would put the hairline on the CIA. As such the Saudi Government would be able to push the CIA to spill the beans on several projects running from 1979 through to 1992. And that will et the markers against the CIA for the largest extent. The question becomes does the Saudi Government have the events documented? If might give the Saudi Government the opportunity to get Saad bin Khalid Al Jabri to give evidence as he was a mainstay link between Saudi Arabia and western intelligence agencies, including the Five Eyes alliance, and was credited with helping Muhammad bin Nayef transform and modernise the Saudi security services and their counter-terrorism methods. As such he would be a person Saudi Government would like to ask a few questions of and in that same setting former-CIA Director John Brennan and both would have had ‘interactions’ with Osama Bin Laden. Yes, this case is really a good way to expose the dirty laundry of the CIA.
My interest? I don’t really have any, other than the ‘evidence’ that “Decades ago, investigators also found a notebook in Bayoumi’s home that seemed to show a drawing of a plane and a mathematical equation that could be used to calculate the rate of descent to a target.” I found that piece strange. You see the Microsoft Flight Simulator is an excellent simulator. As such why the ‘evidence’ when a top notch PC has the ability to set a lot more in motion and that is the figment I found missing. That evidence would not need to be in America. A place like Indonesia would be able to hide it, they could have a muslim vacation there and as such there would be a lot to be made available. The entire setting could be moved to a memory stick and kept on the person (or in a safe space) when pieces don’t fit I wonder about things. And this is a yummy exercise and it can go in all the wrong directions and this justice setting introduced by US District Judge George Daniels gives a new setting, one that puts the briefs of the CIA out to the open and the added delicacy is that they get to expose Saad bin Khalid Al Jabri allegedly yet again.
It is but a small cog in the wheels of justice, but in this case the people get their day in court. I merely wonder what court they get into and what Saudi Arabia could bring to the table.
We can focus on the setting that “Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy — assisted the hijackers while they were in California.” But the larger issue become, is there a direct link between Osama Bin Laden and these two nationals. Then we get to the setting what these two nationals actually did and did they have certain people allowing them the acts, or merely graced the misuse of Saudi officials. That second part is important, because that comes with a larger setting. There would be little evidence putting it to the front of the evidence pile and whilst that is happening, the Saudi Government will be able to call former-CIA Director John Brennan to the stand with the setting that now current exile Saad bin Khalid Al Jabri gets called into the court and the CIA was so adamant into ‘protecting’ him from exposing the billions he brought to the table.
Yes, this episode of comedy capers will get a few reruns over the entire globe. All whilst it is done in the name of Justice. As such what evidence will suddenly ‘find’ its way to the leaky press corp?
Just a few details to keep in mind here. Have a great day today, my Monday starts is 56 minutes.
