John Greenewald, Jr. The Media, 9/11 Foreknowledge, And The Hidden Discovery Mon May 20 15:46:09 2002 63.201.185.170 The Media, 9/11 Foreknowledge, And The Hidden Discovery By John Greenewald, Jr. NORTHRIDGE (BlackVault.com .:iTBV #1) - May 20th, 2002 - Websters Dictionary defines 'coincidence' as, ''A sequence of events that although accidental seems to have been planned or arranged.'' On September 11th, 2001, the day that will live in all of our hearts forever, two many coincidences occurred that truly cannot be ignored. And months after the American public was told to ignore the 'conspiracy theories' surrounding this horrible event, the U.S. Government admits that there was knowledge prior to 9/11 that the government did not do enough about. The Black Vault made a discovery in January that supported this once theory, now fact, that government had some kind of 'hidden premonition' before September 11th. This premonition was the research by the ''Congressional Research Service'' or better known as the CRS branch of Congress, researching the horrible threats and abilities of known terrorist organizations, focusing on one primarily -- Al Qaeda. The Al Qaeda organization was said in this report to be the number one organization to watch out for. Their past and present of plotting against the U.S. and/or U.S. interests abroad proved that this was a group we should not forget about. The CRS conducted their research, and created a report entitled, ''Terrorism: Near Eastern Groups and State Sponsors, 2001'' and was published on the date of September 10th, 2001. Just one day prior to the infamous day we will never forget! Was this a coincidence, or a horrible 'conspiracy theory' just waiting to happen? So The Black Vault took the information, created a small press release, and forwarded it around in January of 2002. Who published this? Really, but a few organizations, no major media, and no major news channels published the piece. Was this newsworthy? Possibly, but the fact remains, the government admits to some kind of prior knowledge, and this shred of evidence now greatly supports this fact, months before an admittance. Why does the media ignore such facts? The original article is backed by documentation to support each and everything it says, but the media turns the other way. A headline just last week on MSNBC told of knowledge on the White House desk 'two days prior to 9/11'. IF ONLY THE MEDIA WOULD PAY ATTENTION! The Black Vault sent an even more convincing report about a full-blown investigation into Al Qaeda and like organizations, which was published only 'one day' prior to 9/11. In a world where media is more interested in the bottom dollar than actually reporting the news, we should only expect such ignorance to topics that deserve attention. This fact alone will take 'conspiracy theorists' to the next level, and will be forced to add the fact the media is controlled, and reports news only when Uncle Sam says they can report it. Fact, fiction or is this a never-ending 'conspiracy theory'? Did the U.S. Government know September 11th was going to happen? Possibly, but the fact remains, the coincidences behind the events that unfolding are disturbing. I think we can truly only leave with the words of next time, ''Pay Attention!''.

As the eye can be easily tricked, with the mind quick to follow, one other odd occurrence happened near this time, that can't as easily be dismissed. A report made by Congressional Research Service (CRS) on Terrorism, with warnings on Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist organization Al Qaeda. That point not too convincing, the report date of this publication is, September 10th, 2001. One day before the attacks that brought down these architectural wonders, the CRS, a research department for Congress which is part of the Library of Congress, issued, "Terrorism: Near Eastern Groups and State Sponsors, 2001." Dated September 10th, 2001, this report outlined in great detail all terrorist organizations and their potential threat. Top of the list, of course, was Al Qaeda. Though others on the list, which were rarely heard about before September 11th, were not left out. Hamas, Hizballah (Party of God), Al-Jihad, The Armed Islamic Group, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, and many more, are all focused upon. The report states they see a decline in state sponsored terrorism; certain countries are still focused on in the report. Iran and Iraq, both countries President Bush states as part of an 'axis of evil' in his State of the Union address, also got their prize of being listed. "The Islamist groups remain generally the most active, stating as their main objective the overthrow of secular, pro-Western governments, the derailment of the Arab-Israeli peace process, the expulsion of U.S. forces from the region, or the end of what they consider unjust occupation of Muslim lands" says the report. With their objectives listed, the CRS in their report detailed what assets were frozen for each Foreign Terrorist Organization, or as the report called them, FTO. A table listing the terrorist organizations by 'Activity Level', shows only one group as being 'Extremely High', which is undoubtedly, Al Qaeda. Second on the list, with a level of 'Very High', was Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic group. The rest ranged from a level of 'High' to 'Very Low'. As each of these groups are then analyzed, a few down on the list, Al Qaeda received it's turn. "Over the past six years, [Al-Qaeda] (Arabic for 'the base'), the network of [Osama Bin Laden], has evolved from a regional threat to U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf to a global threat to U.S. citizens and national security interests" the section begins. "Financially, [Al Qaeda] draws on the personal fortune of [Bin Laden], estimated at about $300 million." Though with that amount of financial backing, the CRS pointed out in the 'Blocked Assets' section for Al Qaeda, that no assets were blocked or frozen at all. Before September 11th, one day even, there was no indication Bin Laden had any funds anywhere. The United States was at a loss for where his money actually was. "U.S. officials say they are encouraging other governments to help dismantle [Bin Laden]'s financial empire and they have persuaded Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to end the handling of some of [Bin Laden]’s money by a few of their banks." Seems like a day too late, the assets of this terrorist remained available for flight schools, plane tickets, and whatever else was needed. On the contrary, "About $254 million in assets of the Taliban movement are blocked under Executive order 13129, issued in July 1999 on the grounds that the Taliban continued to harbor [Bin Laden]". The Taliban, a name that received much publicity in the past few months, was said at the time of this report, controlled 90% of Afghanistan, but was apparently not linked to Al Qaeda and it's activities. Controlling now none of Afghanistan, the Taliban lies in shambles, along with the Al Qaeda organization based in Afghanistan. Yet with the Congressional research organization CRS publishing a detailed report on these terrorist organizations, and government intelligence agencies working around the clock to stop such terror, this report came one day prior to the biggest terrorist strike on U.S. soil, in it's history. The final question might have to be, "How safe do you feel?"
