The 9/11 Files: The CIA’s Secret Mission Gone Wrong | Ep 1

The official 9/11 narrative is challenged by claims that the CIA intentionally withheld critical intelligence about future hijackers from the FBI, possibly as part of a failed false flag recruitment operation, and that the 9/11 Commission was complicit in covering up these details.

• The official 9/11 narrative of intelligence failure is challenged as a deliberate cover-up.

• The CIA allegedly withheld critical information about future 9/11 hijackers from the FBI, potentially as part of a failed recruitment attempt.

• The 9/11 Commission is accused of suppressing evidence and facilitating a cover-up regarding the CIA's actions and Saudi involvement.

The official story of 9/11, which claims intelligence failures were due to lack of information, is asserted to be a lie. Evidence suggests the CIA actively protected 9/11 hijackers Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi from FBI scrutiny, possibly in an attempt to recruit them as sources within Al-Qaeda through a Saudi proxy, Omar al-Bayoumi. The subsequent 9/11 Commission is accused of being a cover-up, deliberately suppressing key information and failing to conduct a thorough, unbiased investigation into these alleged intelligence missteps and cover-ups.

Challenging Official Narrative

• 00:00:00 The long-held official account of 9/11, which attributes the attacks to intelligence failures where information didn't reach the right people, is presented as a fabrication. This series aims to build a strong case for a new, honest 9/11 investigation, free from partisan political and foreign interests, based on primary sources, declassified documents, and testimonies from those directly involved, including CIA and FBI agents and victims' families.

CIA's Alleged Role

• 00:02:15 Investigation suggests former CIA Director John Brennan played a role in facilitating the 9/11 hijackers' entry into the United States, and that the CIA went to extreme lengths to protect them from the FBI and domestic law enforcement. This began with the CIA's Bin Laden unit, Alec Station, in 1999, where information about future hijackers Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi's travel to a terrorist summit in Kuala Lumpur and their U.S. visas was allegedly withheld from FBI agents.

False Flag Operation Theory

• 00:12:48 The CIA is accused of deliberately hiding the arrival of known Al-Qaeda terrorists, al-Midhar and al-Hazmi, in the U.S. A declassified court filing suggests former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clark believed the CIA was running a 'false flag operation to recruit the hijackers' to infiltrate Al-Qaeda. This strategy, though denied by former CIA Director George Tenet's spokesperson, explains why the FBI was kept at bay and information was not shared, ultimately resulting in a 'grand delusion' that failed to protect Americans.

Saudi Proxy and Cover-up

• 00:16:41 The CIA allegedly used a Saudi intelligence operative, Omar al-Bayoumi, as a proxy to spy on and recruit the hijackers in the U.S., bypassing prohibitions on domestic spying. Al-Bayoumi, a 'ghost employee' receiving funds from the Saudi embassy, helped al-Hazmi and al-Midhar settle in San Diego, securing housing, bank accounts, and driver's licenses. This use of Saudi proxies provided the CIA with plausible deniability, allowing them to later blame the Saudi government if the operation went wrong.

9/11 Commission Complicity

• 00:22:05 Both the 9/11 Commission and subsequent inquiries are criticized for failing to expose the full truth. The commission's report dismissed CIA actions as an 'honest mistake' due to differing counterterrorism strategies. Key information, such as al-Bayoumi's connections and the CIA's alleged recruitment efforts, was suppressed, with investigators reportedly blocked from accessing records and interviewing relevant agents. This suggests the official 9/11 Commission report, presented as a definitive account, was a deliberate cover-up orchestrated by the Bush administration.
