Sharon remained perpetually suspicious that Washington would pressure him into territorial or security concessions he deemed dangerous.So he tried “to open the America’s eyes” and to warn her about he potential and mortal dangers of the Arab pilots; as in the 9/11 Attacks story, or “legend”. “The Bulldozer”Ariel Sharon and the CIA: a complex relationship – Google Search google.com/search?q=%22The+B… Ariel Sharon, famously nicknamed “The Bulldozer” for his aggressive and uncompromising military and political style [0.8], shared a pragmatic, tense, and deeply strategic relationship with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and American security apparatus over several decades. [1, 2]Key Aspects of the RelationshipThe 1982 Lebanon War and CIA Director William Casey:As Israel’s Defense Minister, Sharon met with CIA Director William Casey in early 1982 to discuss Israel’s planned invasion of Lebanon to push out the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Sharon sought and explored U.S./CIA alignment or covert backing for regional moves against Soviet-allied or radical factions, though the relationship strained significantly as the humanitarian toll and political fallout of the 1982 Lebanon War—including the Sabra and Shatila massacres—unfolded. [1, 2, 3]Intelligence Sharing vs. Strategic Suspicion:While Israeli intelligence (Mossad) and the CIA maintained deep institutional cooperation on counterterrorism, regional monitoring, and Soviet-era intelligence, Sharon was viewed by U.S. officials as fiercely independent and difficult to control. American diplomats and intelligence analysts often worried that Sharon’s unilateral actions would destabilize regional ceasefires or entangle Washington in wider Middle Eastern crises. [1]The Post-9/11 Era and Prime Minister Tenure (2001–2006):When Sharon became Prime Minister in 2001, his dealings with U.S. intelligence and administrations (such as George W. Bush’s team) shifted into a different phase. U.S. officials engaged in frequent high-level security coordination—including visits by CIA Director George Tenet to broker truces during the Second Intifada. [1, 2, 3]The Ambivalent Alliance:Observers of Sharon’s career, such as analyses from the Council on Foreign Relations, noted that Sharon inherently recognized the United States as Israel’s most vital strategic ally, yet remained perpetually suspicious that Washington would pressure him into territorial or security concessions he deemed dangerous.

Michael_Novakhov shared this story from MS NOW. On Friday — 25 years after the Sept. 11 attacks — the CIA released a trove of presidential daily briefings leading up to that day, providing a stark chronological timeline of flashing warning signs missed by multiple administrations. The CIA said the collection is the agency’s single largest release of declassified President’s Daily Brief products related to 9/11, “providing unprecedented transparency on America’s most sensitive intelligence publication from the years before and the day after one of the darkest moments in our history.” “The products trace the story of CIA analysts’ evolving understanding of al-Qa’ida and efforts to highlight and warn of Usama Bin Ladin’s attack plotting despite sparse, vague, and imperfect information,” the CIA said in its release. While much of the information had been revealed in the last 25 years, including through the 9/11 Commission Report, most of the documents themselves have not been seen by the American public. The documents reveal the consistent drumbeat of intelligence presented to then-Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush about the threat posed by Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida. Most striking is a PDB from Dec. 4, 1998, detailing a suspected hijacking plot. Previously reported on by The Washington Post in 2004, the memo — starkly titled “Bin Ladin Preparing To Hijack US Aircraft and Other Attacks” — wrote in plain language, “Bin Ladin and his allies are preparing for attacks in the US, including an aircraft hijacking.” The memo indicates sources said that “two members of the operational team had evaded security checks during a recent trial run at an unidentified New York airport” and noted “some members of the Bin Ladin network have received hijack training,” raising questions as to why airport security was not increased in the subsequent years leading up to 9/11. A U.S. official told MS NOW that CIA analysts at the time struggled to obtain information about al-Qaida and fully analyze it. “It was a small team, a few dozen people,” the official said. “Counterterrorism was not a priority.” The official said leading up to 9/11, Bin Laden was not a top focus in terms of intelligence collection. “[Bin Laden] was not a priority collection target,” the official said, adding that information on the terrorist leader was “extremely sparse.” But throughout the 71 documents starting on Feb. 13, 1998, CIA intelligence paints a clear picture of a Bin Laden determined to attack the United States — while being unable to pinpoint specifics. The briefs repeatedly detail Bin Laden’s efforts to “procure unspecified chemical, biological, and nuclear substances” and his dependence on Taliban’s “goodwill” to provide safe harbor for him and his associates to conduct terrorist plots in Afghanistan. As of June 1998, the U.S. had no information indicating Bin Laden had a terrorist cell in the U.S., with a September 1998 memo describing Bin Laden’s nongovernmental organization-funded network in the U.S. as “loosely connected.” A July 3, 1998, memo detailing four reports from “highly questionable sources” suggests Bin Laden planned to conduct an attack in the U.S., including one in Washington “probably at a shopping mall.” “We have little information on Bin Ladin’s operatives in the US,” it said. Still, in September 1998 the U.S. maintained that the “most serious threat” of terrorism came from Bin Laden and affiliated groups despite his U.S. associates seeming “less structured than cells in other countries,” with Europe viewed more at risk. “Intelligence provides no conclusive information on Bin Ladin’s intentions for future attacks,” a Sept. 10, 1998, memo says. “Bin Ladin late last month said his preferred option is to strike the US on its own soil in Washington,” the memo warns. “The same group responsible for the bombings in Africa may fly an explosive-packed airplane into a US city.” A Dec. 11, 1998, memo built on the PDB a week earlier warns of an aircraft hijacking (see above) — “over the past two months suggest Bin Ladin’s group is preparing one or more terrorist attacks in the near future” … “several reports of impending anti-US terrorist operations” … “planning to hijack aircraft before Ramadan.” By May 25, 1999, the daily brief reports that Bin Laden “is pursuing a variety of options for developing chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear capabilities” and includes a stark warning: “Scientists are developing a “nuclear weapon” at a facility in Heart, and Bin Ladin believes it could be ready in one to two months.” Through the fall and winter of 1999 — two years before the 9/11 attack — intelligence memos consistently reported Bin Laden’s determination to target and attack the U.S., with an Aug. 3, 1999, memo noting, “The ongoing activity of Bin Ladin operatives reflects the resilience of his organization in the face of setbacks … his personnel still are planning attacks in widely scattered locations such as Washington.” “The extent of Bin Ladin’s reach and the variety of targets make anticipating attacks difficult,” the report says. A manifesto seized in March 2000 recommended attacking “population targets, such as skyscrapers, airports, or nuclear power plants.” The documents reveal an intelligence community struggling to “pinpoint targets of timing” for a possible Bin Laden-ordered attack, but still, the memos do not indicate an urgency to track down the al-Qaida leader nor meaningfully increase pressure on the Taliban to surrender him. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, Clinton vigorously defended his administration’s counterterrorism record, saying his team broke up al-Qaida cells, prevented several terrorist incidents and tried numerous times to get Bin Laden. Clinton told the 9/11 commission that if the U.S. had actionable intelligence about where Bin Laden was, he would have mobilized special operations forces to take action. “Usama Bin Ladin’s al-Qua’ida and sympathetic groups are determined to carry out spectacular terrorist attacks against the US before yearend,” a December 2000 briefing warns. But the alarms persisted long after Clinton left office. Several memos prepared for Bush throughout early 2001 caution against the threat of Bin Laden’s “extensive program to develop or acquire chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons and materials,” as well as his desire to drive U.S. forces from the gulf and willingness to “try unconventional attacks to advance this goal.” One memo says Bin Laden designing or testing a nuclear device was the “least probable scenario,” with another noting, “Bin Ladin and his associates have experimented by crude means to make and deploy biological agents.” Over the course of the spring and summer of 2001, threats became more specific — and prescient. A May 22, 2001, memo says “planning is under way for three separate operations in [REDACTED] to take US diplomats or civilians hostage,” warning conspirators seeking release of U.S.-held prisoners “may hijack an aircraft or storm a US Embassy.” “For the second time in two weeks [REDACTED] indicates that an expected imminent Bin Ladin-sponsored terrorist operation has been postponed, but preparations for other near-term attacks may still be in train,” a July 24, 2001 report says, adding, “Something they had expected to hear in the news is still planned but has been delayed a few months.” A month before 9/11, the intelligence community warned of al-Qaida’s ability to attack within U.S. borders “Al-Qa’ida members-including some who are US citizens—have resided in or traveled to the US for years, and the group apparently maintains a support structure that could aid attacks,” an Aug. 6, 2001, memo says, noting that while the U.S. had not been able to corroborate “some of the more sensational threat reporting, such as that from a service in 1998 saying that Bin Ladin wanted to hijack a US aircraft,” FBI information since then still “indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.” Bush told the 9/11 commission that that memo — the 36th item that year related to Bin Laden or al-Qaida and the first specifically devoted to the possibility of an attack within the U.S. — was “historical in nature,” but did not recall discussing it with the attorney general or whether his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, had done so. “[Bush] said that if his advisers had told him there was a cell in the United States, they would have moved to take care of it,” the 9/11 Commission Report says. “That never happened. “ Speaking at a memorial ceremony at the Pentagon 25 years later, Rice gave a “deeply personal” apology to the families of the nearly three thousand people who lost their lives. “Those of us in authority on that day did not see the nature of the danger in time to prevent the attack of 9/11,” she said. “We did what we knew to do, but by definition, it was not enough.” She called it a “miracle” that there was not a follow-up attack, expressing gratitude for the armed forces and intelligence community. “Their service and their sacrifice in the war on terror kept us safe,” Rice said. “But I will always carry deep personal remorse for the pain that you, the families of the fallen, still feel, and for the trauma that our country endured.” Nora McKee, Peggy Helman, Kevin Frey and David Rohde contributed to this report.

[1]The Helgerson Report (2005): Led by Inspector General John Helgerson, the report concluded that senior agency officials—including former Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet and former Deputy Director of Operations James Pavitt—failed to adequately resource and manage the strategic threat posed by al-Qaeda. The review found systemic failures in sharing and analyzing data rather than a single point of failure. [1, 2]DCI Review Group: Immediately after the attacks, a DCI Review Group gathered internal documents and timelines to evaluate what the agency knew and when.

PUTIN THE MASTERMIND and the MISINVESTIGATION of 9/11 – Search thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com… The official narrative of the 9/11 attacks overlooks foreign state sponsorship, the non-state actors like Al-Qaeda were merely “foot soldiers” rather than the true architects. The true “Mastermind” was Putin. It was his operation, one of the series of many, with the common contextual, conceptual, and operational patterns, bearing the traces of his complex political personality, including the traits of the Recruiter and the Uniter. The post combines personal commentary, social media feeds, and search queries/AI responses to construct an alternative counterintelligence theory regarding the September 11 attacks. Putin’s reaction to this post: “It is EERIE, Pa. To change the official, the “al Qaeda” version of the results of the 9/11 investigation is like to try to BEND THE SILVER (FAST, EASY) RAIL.” By “Silver Rail” Putin means the “Al Qaeda” version: “Do not bend the “Silver Rail”. Search: Erie, Pa Bend, Silver Rail That’s how he communicates: In accidents. The MISINVESTIGATION of 9/11, blaming the non-state “Al Qaeda” instead of the professional intelligence services of Russia, Germany, and Israel, demonstrated amply, that the FBI at that time was the INCOMPETENT, IMPOTENT BODY, totally subservient to the current Government. And it is not much different now. Reinvestigate the 9/11, and reform the FBI!

Director of FSB (1999–2008)On 9 August 1999, a decree by President Boris Yeltsin promoted him to director, replacing his close friend Vladimir Putin.In September 1999, a series of explosions hit four apartment blocks in three Russian cities, killing more than 300. The bombings, together with the Invasion of Dagestan, triggered the Second Chechen War. The handling of the crisis by Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister at the time, boosted his popularity greatly and helped him attain the presidency within a few months.[11] A suspicious device resembling those used in the bombings was found and defused in an apartment block in the Russian city of Ryazan on 22 September 1999.[12] On 23 September, Vladimir Putin praised the vigilance of the inhabitants of Ryazan and ordered the air bombing of Grozny, which marked the beginning of the Second Chechen War.[13] Three FSB agents who had planted the devices at Ryazan were arrested by the local police.[14] The next day, Patrushev announced that the incident in Ryazan had been an anti-terror drill and the device found there contained only sugar, and freed the FSB agents involved.[15] FSB also issued a public apology about the incident.[16]Although the bombings were widely blamed on Chechen rebels, their guilt was never conclusively proven. A number of historians and investigative journalists have instead called the bombings a false flag attack perpetrated by the FSB to win public support for a new war in Chechnya and to boost the popularity of Vladimir Putin, the former head of the FSB, prior to the upcoming presidential elections.[14]Former FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko, who blamed the FSB for the bombings and was a critic of Putin, was assassinated in London in 2006. The United Kingdom public inquiry into the poisoning of Litvinenko found that “the FSB operation to kill Mr Litvinenko was probably approved by Mr Patrushev and also by President Putin.”[17]Nikolai Patrushev – Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola…

The effect of 9/11 on the Second Chechen War – Google SearchThe September 11 terrorist attacks had a profound and transformative effect on the Second Chechen War (1999–2009). Overnight, it shifted the global perception of the conflict, directly benefiting Russian President Vladimir Putin by altering Western foreign policy and effectively isolating the Chechen independence movement. [1, 2]The primary impacts of 9/11 on the conflict include:1. Reframing the Narrative: From Separatism to the “War on Terror”Before 9/11, Western nations and international human rights organizations viewed the Second Chechen War primarily as a brutal, disproportionate military campaign by Moscow to crush a national self-determination and separatist movement. [1, 2]Following 9/11, Vladimir Putin was the first foreign leader to call U.S. President George W. Bush to offer solidarity. Putin strategically aligned Russia’s domestic campaign with the newly declared global “War on Terror”. Moscow successfully argued that its forces were not fighting independence seekers, but were instead on the frontline against international Islamic extremism and al-Qaeda-linked entities in the Caucasus. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]2. Silencing of Western CriticismPrior to the attacks, the United States and European governments frequently criticized Russia for widespread human rights abuses, war crimes, and the targeting of civilians in Chechnya. Post-9/11, wanting Russia as a strategic ally for intelligence sharing and logistical access to military bases in Central Asia for the war in Afghanistan, the West significantly muted its criticism. The White House and other global leaders began viewing Russia’s actions “in a new light,” giving Putin a geopolitical carte blanche to pursue the war aggressively without fearing major international sanctions or isolation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]3. Financial and Logistical Isolation of the RebelsThe global crackdown on terror financing after 9/11 severely choked off foreign funding for the Chechen insurgency. The United States added several Chechen rebel groups and commanders to its official terrorist watchlists, freezing their international assets. This made it immensely difficult for the insurgency to source weapons, equipment, and financial backing from sympathizers in the Middle East and diaspora communities. [1]4. Acceleration of Radicalization Within ChechnyaAs moderate Chechen leaders like Aslan Maskhadov found themselves entirely isolated from Western diplomatic channels, the influence of more radical, Islamist factions within the insurgency grew. Legitimate political avenues for independence were entirely closed off. Cut off from mainstream support, the nature of Chechen resistance shifted increasingly away from conventional guerrilla warfare toward high-profile terrorism, including major hostage-taking crises and suicide bombings (such as the 2002 Moscow theater siege). These desperate, brutal tactics ultimately reinforced Putin’s original post-9/11 narrative to the global community. [1, 2, 3, 4]5. Facilitation of “Chechenization”With international pressure eliminated and rebel groups financially weakened, Russia successfully implemented its strategy of “Chechenization”.
