Thread: Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job

God help us all if this is true:

Man who blew the whistle on Gladio tells Italy's largest newspaper attacks were run by CIA, Mossad

Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio Francesco Cossiga has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.

Cossiga was elected President of Italian Senate in July 1983 before being winning a landslide 1985 election to become President of the country in 1985.

Cossiga gained respect from opposition parties as one of a rare breed - an honest politician - and led the country for seven years until April 1992.

Cossiga's tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio - a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

Gladio's specialty was to carry out what they coined "false flag operations," terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition.

Cossiga's revelations contributed to an Italian parliamentary investigation of Gladio in 2000, during which evidence was unearthed that the attacks were being overseen by the U.S. intelligence apparatus .

In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony, "You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security."

Cossiga's new revelations appeared last week in Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper, Corriere della Sera. Below appears a rough translation.

"[Bin Laden supposedly confessed] to the Qaeda September [attack] to the two towers in New York [claiming to be] the author of the attack of the 11, while all the [intelligence services] of America and Europe ... now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the CIA American and the Mossad with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part ... in Iraq [and] Afghanistan."

Cossiga first expressed his doubts about 9/11 in 2001, and is quoted in Webster Tarpley's book as stating that "The mastermind of the attack must have been asophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel

Coming from a widely respected former head of state, Cossiga's assertion that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job and that this is common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies is highly unlikely to be mentioned by any establishment media outlets, because like the hundreds of other sober ex-government, military, air force professionals, allied to hundreds more professors and intellectuals - he can't be sidelined as a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

Certified nut case (IMHO).

Well, before this looney became the well respected
head of state, he problably worked
at the TV studio that produced the moon landing, right?

He was sitting around one evening, tuning the tinfoil beaner, thinking about how he could get his name back in front of the world media and "bingo"....

So, all of you believe this guy is just a nut job? I certainly hope that's the case! But I just wonder... are your beliefs based on any strong evidence you can provide that discredits what he says? Or is this response coming from an emotional level, in the belief that our government would ever do something so horrific to harm its' own people? Afterall, to believe in such a terrible thing would go against everything we have ever been taught to trust and have faith in. I'm very curious about this because I have friends/family with various opinions on this issue.

Forget about 9-11 for a moment. We all know from reading history that throughout the centuries, there have been corrupt governments in the world that have harmed their own citizens in order to control them and further a political agenda. We've seen it done in the former Soviet Union, Germany under Hitler, etc.

Do any of you believe that the United States government is exempt from such corruption? Is it even remotely possible for a small group of highly powerful people to conspire to control our government by going against the principles of our republic without any regard for it's citizens? Especially if the citizenry is not paying attention and is apethetic about politics?

Afterall, the North American Union is a reality. My question is - if they are conspiring to unite us with Canada and Mexico thus ending our country as we know it, what else could they be capable of?

Whether there is any basis in fact for the man's statements, I don't know.

One thing that bothers me is that there seems to be some things people are just not willing to question.

We have seen them deliberately leave our borders open, even when we are supposedly fighting a war on terror. An open border is a terrorist's best friend. Why would they stay in fight an army in Iraq when they can do much more harm to America and it's will and determination with a dozen well placed attacks. There's nothing to keep them from it.

WE have seen them make trade deals with other countries that are suicidal and allow dangerous and deadly products to come into the US.

We have seen them encourage outsourcing that strips American workers of their ability to make a living.

We have seen the sell off parts of our country to foreigners - even attempting to outsource our port security to a ME country, for goodness sakes.

We have seen them put forward the NAU that will destroy our sovereignty and the super highway that will allow anything and anyone to come across the border and not stop until they are in the heartland.

We have seen them pass the Patriot Act, which the American people don't have a clue what could be in that bill. What we know seems scary enough.

Now there are going to vote on a bill that allows what you might have beent thinking to be considered.

Yet, many seem to think this administration is doing what is right and best for America by invading Iraq?

Yet, not many are willing to even entertain the thought there might be something to this - or at least maybe it should be looked at?

Why weren't the borders ordered closed right after the planes were grounded?

Exactly. More importantly, the media haven't asked any questions. The media used to be the public's last defense from government corruption. They were our watchdogs. Not anymore...

When haven't had a media since the corporations took over. Now we simply have a propaganda machine.

"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security."

Sound familiar? Aaron Russo's statement in the movie ZEITGEIST about his conversation with David Rockefeller is even more chilling. David tells Aaron that we will be going into Iraq and Afghanistan and another goal is to get everyone on the Chip, before 911 happened. Then just recently Aaron Russo dies? Sounds real bad to me. I wouldn't be so quick to pass this guy off as a nutcase.
