The Saudis Did It

The Saudis Did It is a disinformation campaign aimed at deflecting attention from the fact that 9/11 was an Inside Job. It asserts that Saudi Arabia deserves a "very large part of the blame for 9/11" because of the funding by Saudi Arabia of fundamentalist Islamic groups, and points at the fact that most of the supposed Hijackers Patsies were from Saudi Arabia.

This campaign tries to avoid the fact that most of the Hijackers Patsies gained entry to the United States through a CIA sponsored program at the US Consulate in Jeddah (see Cia Visas For Patsies), and many trained under US military programs, and all of the other elements that show that 9/11 was an Inside Job.

By creating a plausible Red Herring, this campaign can be characterized as what Kupferberg calls "Stacking your Patsies" (see Truth Lies Patsies), which creates an alternate set of potential villains that detract from efforts to bring the real perpetrators to Justice. This "limited fallback" takes on various flavors depending on the level of intelligence of the audience it's aimed at.

The "former" Director of Capitalisms Invisible Army contributed an important piece of the puzzle with widely reported testimony before a congressional sub-committee, where he identified Khalid Bin Mahfouz as a brother-in-law of Osama Bin Laden. He was later forced to acknowledge that his testimony was "misconstrued":

Cross-examined on 15 December 2003 in the libel trial between Mohamed Abdul Latif Jameel et al. v. Wall Street Journal Europe, Woolsey stated that Khalid Bin Mahfouz had been 'misindentified' in his evidence to the congressional sub-committee and that the individual he was referring to 'was not Mr Khalid Bin Mahfouz'.

An essential ingredient to the "Ali bin Laden and the 20 Hijackers" fairy tale is for them to have access to riches worthy of the Arabian Nights. Not only do Americans not take anything seriously if it doesn't have a pile of money associated with it, it is essential in conjuring up a bogeyman for a world-wide War on Freedom that the "enemy" appear to be formidably well financed. A number of newspapers, publishers and authors were forced to apologize in Court for spreading the disinformation about Mahfouz, but that's too lttle, too late: in the American public's view, the connection has been made.

From the page Truth Lies Marketing:

Meanwhile, both Baer and Cannistraro were lending their growing reputations as critics of the War on Iraq in order to bolster the legitimacy of the case for the War on Terror. At least that was the inevitable effect. Like Brisard and Dasquie, Baer and Cannistraro seemed to be informational Zeligs, showing up all over the media map, structuring perceptions in a very definite direction, offering legends and counter-legends intended for various audiences, both mainstream and alternative. On the broadest level, Cannistraro and, especially, Baer were advocating the complacency theory behind 9/11, posing as mainstream "critics" of their "former" CIA employers while at the same time keeping the general contours of the Official 9/11 Legend in place. In lockstep with the neo-cons, they were also raising suspicions of possible Saudi perfidy, primarily for the Saudi role as financial and political enablers of al-Qaida.

The CBC showed itself to be a fully-fledged member of the PBS (Pentagon Broadcasting System) with the a 1 hour disinfomentary done by
the "Fifth Estate", its premier investigative reporting program (their opinion, not ours).

Their Conspiracy Theories uses Canadian taxpayers' money to peddle the "The Saudis Did It" disinformation. They dismissed all of the evident facts of the Pentagon Attack with the throw-away line, and spent most of the 1 hour show presenting Brisard and Baer. As could be expected from the CBC, they repeat the CIA's canard that Bin Mahfouz is Osama Bin Laden's brother-in-law, indicating perhaps that their script was written for them in Washington.

Conforming to the Nazi Minister of Propaganda's [ dictum for the effective use of propaganda, it has been rebroadcast almost monthly by the CBC ever since.

The UQ News Wire, a banner of the "9/11 Skeptics" carries a plethora of inane questions that they supposedly want answering, that point toward a "The Saudis Did It" campaign, such as: Were the Flight 77 Hijackers Actually Under Saudi Intelligence 'Control'? when there were not only no Hijackers, and there was no Boeing involved the Pentagon Attack.

Cheney and Rumsfeld are both very experienced players dating back to Watergate, and when Cheney worked for Rumsfeld. Cheney was Secretary of Defense during Bush Sr.'s Gulf War 1, and used 450,000 troops for the much more limited objective of occupying Kuwait. They would have known, and were most certainly told by the Army, that 130,000 troops and 20,000 mercenaries would be insufficient to ensure security in Iraq. It stands to reason that they knew chaos would ensue: the "Incompetence Theory" of the Iraq invasion holds no more water (or oil) than the "Incompetence Theory" of 9/11.

The chaos in Iraq may intended to generate enough chaos in the region to generate chaos in Saudi Arabia, and Iraq is an ideally located base of operations in the region. Although the Neocon Cabal is pointing their stubby fingers at Syria and Iran, the real prize in the region is Saudi Arabia. And the only discernible foreign policy platform of the presumptive candidate for the Democratic wing of Skull And Bones for the possibly upcoming US "election", is Saudi-Bashing; he

appears to be be gearing up a "The Saudis Did It" disinformation campaign for an upcoming Saudi invasion. From Webster Tarpley's Rogue US Own Goal:

Kerry was also ready to go Bush one better by adding Saudi Arabia to the target list for economic warfare and possible invasion, a notion long dear to Likudniks which has been gaining ground among some US pseudo-leftists lately. Kerry?s prescription was for energy independence in order to obtain a free hand to settle with the Saudis: "If we are serious about energy independence, then we can finally be serious about confronting the role of Saudi Arabia in financing and providing ideological support of Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups," Kerry said in Seattle May 27.
