With all the fuss over border security, maybe the Democrats should re-study what happened on 9/11 and what poor security led to. This excellent resource is the official 9/11 report (241 pages) dated August 21, 2004:

9/11 and Terrorist Travel - Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the US

Preface

It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United

States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were

efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border

security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers

demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the

United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security

policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made

one.

Congress gave the Commission the mandate to study, evaluate, and report on

“immigration, nonimmigrant visas and border security” as these areas relate to the events

of 9/11. This staff report represents 14 months of such research. It is based on thousands

of pages of documents we reviewed from the State Department, the Immigration and

Naturalization Service, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice,

the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of

Defense, approximately 25 briefings on various border security topics, and more than 200

interviews. We are grateful to all who assisted and supported us along the way.

The story begins with “A Factual Overview of the September 11 Border Story.” This

introduction summarizes many of the key facts of the hijackers’ entry into the United

States. In it, we endeavor to dispel the myth that their entry into the United States was

“clean and legal.” It was not. Three hijackers carried passports with indicators of Islamic

extremism linked to al Qaeda; two others carried passports manipulated in a fraudulent

manner. It is likely that several more hijackers carried passports with similar fraudulent

manipulation. Two hijackers lied on their visa applications. Once in the United States,

two hijackers violated the terms of their visas. One overstayed his visa. And all but one

obtained some form of state identification. We know that six of the hijackers used these

state issued identifications to check in for their flights on September 11. Three of them

were fraudulently obtained.

The chronology that follows in chapter 2, “The September 11 Travel Operation,” is a

detailed account of how each hijacker acquired a visa and entered the United States. In

all, they had 25 contacts with consular officers and 43 contacts with immigration and

customs authorities. They began acquiring their visas in April 1999 and began entering

the country in December 2000. They successfully entered the United States 33 times over

21 months, through nine airports of entry, most of which were on the East Coast. Neither

the consular officers who adjudicated their visas nor the immigration inspectors who

admitted them into the country had any knowledge of fraudulent al Qaeda documents.

The next chapter, “Terrorist Entry and Embedding Tactics, 1993 to 2001,” explores the

topic of fraudulent documents, which terrorists have long used to support their

international travel. Indeed, the CIA studied these documents and published their

commonalities as far back as the 1980s. They even made a training video for border

inspectors to help them detect such fraud. This effort was abandoned in the early 1990s,

just as the United States experienced the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

We reviewed information available on terrorist travel practices in the 1990s and

identified numerous entry and embedding tactics, unknown at the time of these earlier

attacks in the United States owing to the lack of analysis. No government agency

systematically would analyze terrorists’ travel patterns until after 9/11, thus missing

critical opportunities to disrupt their plans.

More basis for TREASON!

John Brennan was Chief of the CIA station in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the time 9-11 hijackers had their visas approved. And it is alleged that he gave the final approval. See article below.

On September 18, 2014, on the Ground Zero radio program, a whistle blower named Greg Ford of the 223rd Military Intelligence Battalion claimed that Brennan, as chief of the CIA station in Jeda, overrode concerns and ordered that the visas of the 19 plane-hijackers be stamped.

TREASON — If it weren’t for John Brennan, 9/11 may have never happened

By Dean Garrison -

August 25, 2018

When the Senate eventually voted to confirm Brennan in 2013, 34 senators voted no, including Rand Paul (R-KY), who attempted to filibuster the confirmation vote; Ted Cruz (R-TX); Charles Grassley (R-IA); Patrick Leahy (D-VT); Mike Lee (R-UT); Jeff Merkley (D-OR); Bernie Sanders (D-VT); and Richard Shelby (R-AL). Barbara Boxer (D-CA) did not vote. Madsen asks, “What did these senators actually know about Brennan, especially the Democrats, who decided Brennan was not for the job?” Source

It has long been rumored that John Owen Brennan, Obama’s CIA Director, is a Muslim convert. The above quote was taken from our 2015 article CIA director John Brennan is a Muslim convert?

Whether Brennan truly is a Muslim convert, or not, I want to discuss something today that should make you very angry.

John Brennan was Chief of the CIA station in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the time 9-11 hijackers had their visas approved. And it is alleged that he gave the final approval.

On September 18, 2014, on the Ground Zero radio program, a whistle blower named Greg Ford of the 223rd Military Intelligence Battalion claimed that Brennan, as chief of the CIA station in Jeda, overrode concerns and ordered that the visas of the 19 plane-hijackers be stamped. At 1:32:47 into the interview, Ford talked about ISIS and how it was created. Someone called in with a question about 9/11. Ford said:

“All 19 high jackers? Where did they get their visas stamped before they came to this country to launch 9/11? They got their visas stamped in the CIA station in Jeda. And the second in command said ‘No way, absolutely we are not going to stamp those visas.’ And the fellow who was in charge, his name was John Brennan. He was the person who overrode those concerns and cautions and ordered those visas stamped in Jeda.”

If you don’t want to listen to the entire show, forward to the 1:32:47 mark.

Michael Springmann was the head of the visa bureau in Saudi Arabia at the time those visas, and numerous other questionable visas, were stamped. In this interview, Springmann recounts the time when his decisions were consistently overruled and many highly questionable visas were being issued, against his recommendations.

National Review reports that none of the hijacker visas were completed correctly.

All 19 of the hijacker applications were incomplete in some way, with data fields left blank and questions not fully answered. Every application should have been round-filed. Yet U.S. officials approved 22 of the 23 hijacker visa applications. Of the 15 Saudis, four got their visas after the creation of the Visa Express Program in June 2001. Eight other conspirators tried to get visas during the course of the plot. Three succeeded, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11.

As the National Review article suggests, all 19 applications should have rejected immediately. But those visas were instead approved and the result is 2977 innocent people losing their lives on that fateful day of September 11, 2001. 2996 were killed, including the 19 hijackers, and 600o more were injured.

Is this a case of incompetence or corruption?

John Brennan recently had his security clearance revoked by the Trump Administration.

That clearance should have been revoked years ago and this man should have been removed from his position as CIA Director.

What John Brennan allegedly did as a CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia will haunt this nation forever. Whether he gave final approval or not, it happened on his watch.

If the allegations are true then we arrive at a very sobering, yet logical, conclusion.

If it weren’t for John Brennan, 9/11 may have never happened.
