The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 426
the same day to fly their aircraft - fly US aircraft into buildings full of innocent people - and
show no remorse. This is a new kind of -- a new kind of evil.”

That same day Vice President
Cheney stated on Meet The Press that the administration was aware that al-Qaida had planned a
“big operation,” but he asserted in no uncertain terms there had been “no specific threat
involving really a domestic operation.”

Condoleezza Rice testified to similar assertions before
the 9/11 Commission; she stated: “I don't think anyone could have predicted that these people
would slam planes into the World Trade Center.” The Commission reported quite a different
story. Although they didn't reveal much of the evidence above, they concluded the administration
had 12 separate warnings from intelligence agencies regarding planes being used as weapons.

Obstructed Investigations
It has also been well publicized that many FBI agents were told not to follow up terrorists
leads. In fact, an agent in the Phoenix FBI office had been hot on the trail of the hijackers. In
July, FBI headquarters received a memo from the FBI Phoenix office that there was an unusual
influx of Arab students training at local flight schools, students with Al-Qaeda connections. In
August a potential hijacker was arrested. “Zacarias Moussaouri was arrested after flight trainers
(at a Minnesota flight school) tipped off the feds that he wanted to learn how to fly a 747 but
wasn’t interested in takeoffs or landings. Zacharias was traveling on a French passport.”
When the French government was contacted, the French reported that Moussaouri was a
suspected terrorist linked to Osama Bin Laden. He had asked his instructors about “how much
fuel was on board a 747-400 and how much damage that would cause if it hit anything.” An FBI
investigator, in a high level meeting after the arrest, speculated that the purpose of Zacharias’
training may have been to fly a plane into the World Trade Center. In spite of the aforementioned
evidence and specific concerns expressed, the Justice Department and FBI officials blocked a
local FBI agent’s request for a warrant to search the hard drive on Zacharias’ computer.
Because of these blocked investigations an agent, represented by Judicial Watch, filed a
complaint alleging his terrorist investigations were squashed and “he was retaliated against when
he continued to push for and pursue certain terrorist investigations over the objections of his FBI
and Justice Department supervisors.” Fearing further reprisal, his complaint has been filed
anonymously. Other agents have come to former Congressman David Schippers to voice their
frustration over obstructions by the “bureaucratic elite in Washington short-stopping
information.” The natural consequences have been that terrorism has been granted “free reign in
the United States.” The arrest of Zacharias is reported to have been made only after the owner of
the flight school called the FBI several times in order to find someone willing to act.

Later in
mid December 2001, President Bush invoked executive privilege and blocked a Congressional
subpoena exploring abuses in the Boston FBI office. One would naturally assume that this would
imply the President had something to hide. There have also been high-level blocks of FBI
investigations into the Osama bin Laden’s family and members of the Saudi Royal Family. In
one instance, information was actually offered to the US. A Saudi diplomat defected and offered
the US 14,000 documents purported to link the Saudi’s to everything including assassinations
and funding of terrorists. The FBI refused to accept the documents.
