Alex Jones was joined on air this week by investigative
reporter Ed
Haas to discuss an important story he has broken
concerning direct evidence of Israeli prior knowledge of and possible
complicity in the 9/11 attacks of 2001.
Haas details in his expose how in October 2000,
approximately 11 months prior to September 11, 2001, a former
Israeli Defense Force member and veteran of the Yom Kippur War
overheard a conversation at the Gomel Chesed Cemetery, located
in Newark, NJ., concerning the attacks and spoken in Hebrew between
three men.
“The Americans will learn what it is to live
with terrorists after the planes hit the twins in September.”
Hass's contact said he heard one of the men say. After 11 months
of desperately attempting to alert the authorities and being systematically
ignored all along the line, the contact watched in horror as the
attacks unfolded exactly as he had overheard.
Haas revealed on air that he had been asked by a
reader to contact the source, who has asked to remain anonymous
for fear of his own safety, as he had in depth information about
prior knowledge of the attacks and no one would listen to him.
Haas stated:
"I approached this individual as if his story
was BS, you know that's kind of how I had to approach it, is this
guy might be a nutcase, let's follow through though and see if
his story starts to have merit, and it did. I reached a point
where I felt as though this guy has some information based on
his documentation and it smells like more cover up to me."
The source also told Haas that one of the men he
overheard expressed concerns regarding whether the upcoming presidential
election (November 2000) between Bush / Cheney and Gore / Lieberman
could impact the plans. Another man, he believed to be the most
senior of the three, replied “Don’t worry, we have
people in high places and no matter who gets elected, they will
take care of everything.”
The source also reported to Haas that he overheard
one of the three men say, “The Arabs are so stupid. They
don’t even imagine that we are using them.”.
Could this be a reference to the 9/11 hijackers?
It certainly fits other
evidence that they, or their doubles/namesakes depending
on which line you take, were intimately known to US intelligence
and were being used as patsies.
Haas has received copies of letters that his contact
had received from the FBI after emailing and calling to tell them
he had important information to share. A first letter advised
the source to contact the Newark FBI division which he did several
times with no response. Upon writing to the FBI a second time,
a further response informed the source that the FBI would not
be able to do anything on his behalf.

On the same day the second letter was received,
three months prior to 9/11, two agents from the Newark division
visited the source. Without a guarantee of protection he was unwilling
to tell them everything he knew. However, he did tell the agents
that there would be an attack in New York City and airplanes would
be used.
Haas suggests that it is telling that the source
was asking for protection, fearing that he had inside information
on some form of Israeli intelligence operation, and the FBI was
advising him to contact his local cop. The source told Haas the
the Newark agents seemed rather annoyed that the higher echelons
of the FBI were outright rejecting to receive information and
offer protection.
We have previously highlighted how many other divisional
branches of the FBI
were hindered or prevented from investigating red
flags and warnings
BEFORE the attacks of 9/11. We have also specifically
highlighted the Israeli
forewarnings, prior knowledge and possible involvement
in 9/11.
We have gone over these issues so many times in
the past that we now get accused by newer readers and critics
of ignoring them and somehow protecting Israeli intelligence.
In truth we were talking about this stuff hours after the attacks
took place and for years in the aftermath.
The source's story suggests, as he himself believes,
that the real perpetrators of 9/11 may have been a conglomeration
of intelligence agencies, involving Mossad. He believes that there
may even may a direct conection to the story of the Israeli
spy ring and the five
Israeli 'tourists' arrested on September 11th 2001
after they were seen in position on nearby rooftops before the
planes hit and celebrating thereafter.

Even Senator Graham, on the Intelligence committee
after 9/11, has stated that there is evidence that suggests the
attacks were funded in part at least by a sovereign government.
This information has been classified. We also know that the head
of Pakistani intelligence, the ISI, wired $100,000 to the lead
hijacker before the event.
Haas went on to comment:
"What made it so fascinating was that I decide
OK I'm going to start trying to confirm this guy's story, once
I confirmed that the [FBI] agents existed. I mean some of this
story, if you think about someone making up a story, identifying
FBI agents isn't... you know, it's not like when you go into your
local police force website and they'll have pictures of all the
police officers, you know identity of agents is something that
he would have had to go to great lengths to fabricate."
Last week Haas contacted the FBI north division
and was able to confirm the identity of Agent Robin Gritz and
Agent Andrew Stengel and that these agents had met with his source
on June 26th 2001.
The Legal Unit of the FBI then decided that Haas
needed to file a Freedom of Information Act request. At this time
Haas learned that his enquiries had been elevated to the FBI national
press office, indicating that the bureau was well aware of how
important the story is.
Hass then contacted Agent Robin (Gritz) Laird personally.
Gritz, who has since been promoted to a supervisor position within
a counter terrorism unit at FBI headquarters, was already aware
of Haas's inquiries and stated, “I’m not allowed to
discuss this with you. I would get in trouble.”
Haas has also received also received copies of contact
cards that Agents Gritz and Stengel left with the source on June
26, 2001.

Haas is now working on submitting the FOIA request
to further corroborate the story. He is also urging his source
to go public with his information.
"What's interesting is that after the event,
after 9/11 nobody at the FBI came back to this guy, nobody came
back to him to say 'hey maybe we missed something, can you tell
us what you knew?' which in his mind confirms that this thing
isn't the way the government told us." Haas said.
