The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 422
The third to have provided accurate warnings of the WTC attack is Michael
Riconosciuto. He is a former CIA operative. Riconosciuto is currently in prison because of US
government retaliation for testimony he gave which implicated the Justice Department in
criminal activities. The testimony was in regards to the well publicized Inslaw lawsuit against the
Justice Department for stealing the PROMIS software from its developer.

While in prison,
Riconosciuto maintained intelligence contacts he had obtained during his time in the CIA.
Through these contacts he learned about the impending September 11, 2001 terrorists attacks.
In January 2001 Riconosciuto tried to make contact with US officials but was unable to
find any that would speak to him. In order to obtain help in alerting the proper authorities, he
sent hand written letters to both his attorney and his Congressman, Bryan Baird (D-WA) in
February of 2001. The letter to his congressman was via certified mail.
On February 13, 2001, one of his attorneys sent a letter to Secretary of State Colin Powell
and Attorney General John Ashcroft “reporting that he had a client who possessed highly
detailed information about an imminent terrorist attack to take place on the United States, but
requested that some agency other than the FBI should debrief his client.”
In March of 2001, Keith Cutri, an FBI agent, from the Williamsport, Pennsylvania FBI
office, met with Riconosciuto. At this meeting the following information was provided to the
FBI:
Riconosciuto identified for Cutri an individual in New Jersey who: (1) was
coordinating forthcoming terrorist attacks on the U.S.; (2) had information on the
movement of Soviet-made shoulder-fired missiles coming into the U.S.; (3) was
coordinating skyjacking operations, bombings, and espionage in the U.S.; and (4)
knew the identity of “sleepers” in the U.S. and overseas. Riconosciuto also gave
Cutri information about a false ID ring operating in Montreal and New Jersey and
gave him the exact fake ID's of 30 terrorists who had been chosen for carrying out
operations inside the United States. Riconosciuto told Special Agent Cutri that
Thabet Aviation of Quebec City, Canada was brokering older D.C.-9's, 747's, and
other high performance military aircraft that could be used for terrorist attacks and
he knew the names of terrorists who were taking flight training in the US for
those very types of aircraft. Riconosciuto indicated that Thabet Aviation was the
company scheduled to receive the 37 Soviet-made, shoulder-fired missiles.
Riconosciuto requested immunity from government prosecution for himself and his
informants. Not only did he receive no answer to this request, he heard nothing more from the
FBI or any other US government intelligence agency until September 13, 2001, two days after
the terrorists attacks had occurred.
Cutri again met with Riconosciuto;
according to Riconosciuto this is the message he
conveyed:
Cutri…accused Riconosciuto of being “anti-FBI”; “anti-government”; a
