The 'Confessions' Of Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed
From Nila Sagadevan
3-15-7
According to the headline article on BBC's front page, KSM is claimed to
have admitted to the kangaroo court that tried him:
" I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z."
KSM's confession was announced to the world by the very people who
routinely
torture prisoners, hold secret military trials behind closed doors,
and bar
all lawyers and reporters from being anywhere near the courtroom.
But you do believe them, don't you?
(Boy, is this going to confound the millions of FoxNews- and
Limbaugh-trained Bushie buffoons who still believe Saddam did it!)
Now, if I could ask KSM a few questions to satisfy my own nagging
curiosity,
here's what they'd be:
1. If you were indeed "responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to
Z" as
you claim you were, why did your boss, Usama, categorically deny the
attacks
in 2001?
If you guys really are the arch-enemies of civilization, then the strike
against your most hated enemy on 9/11 would have been something for
you to
shout about. After all, none of your operatives were caught prior to
their
missions; they successfully bypassed airport security; they successfully
hijacked passenger jets and subdued the passengers; they successfully
evaded
a US military response; they successfully flew the planes with absolute
precision even though they themselves barely knew how to fly; they
successfully demolished the twin towers; and they successfully struck
at the
heart of the US military.
You claim you had masterminded and executed the most brilliant plan ever
hatched, so you could rightfully have claimed with pride that you were a
terrorist genius non pareil and the world's #1 bad guy back in 2001, yet
Usama denied all responsibility in an interview he gave Ummat Magazine
immediately following 9/11. Why?
Oh, I get it! Usama wasn't kidding -- he didn't do it! That's why he
isn't
on the FBI's "most wanted" list! And that's why that agency has openly
admitted there isn't a shred of evidence that ties Usama to the
attacks. So
it was you all along, you sly devil you!
2. Why did you inform a select group of bankers - and the CIA - of your
plans?
It's clear you did, because it's been proved that pre-9/11 insider
trading
on United Airlines and American Airlines options lead directly to the
highest ranks of the CIA. Investigations proved that none of your people
benefited from any of these transactions. So what's with your desire
to make
the CIA brass rich? There was a jump in United Air Lines 90 times
(not 90
percent) above normal between September 6 and September 10, and 285
times
higher than average on the Thursday before the attack. There was a
jump in
American Airlines put options 60 times (not 60 percent) above normal
on the
day before the attacks. No similar trading occurred on any other
airlines.
Between September 6-10, 2001, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw
suspicious trading on Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, two of the
largest
WTC tenants. An average of 3,053 put options in Merrill Lynch were
bought
between Sept. 6-10, compared to an average of 252 in the previous week.
Merrill Lynch, another WTC tenant, saw 12,215 put options bought between
Sept. 7-10, when the previous days had seen averages of 212 contracts
a day.
According to Dylan Ratigan of Bloomberg News: "This would be the most
extraordinary coincidence in the history of mankind if it was a
coincidence.
This could very well be insider trading at the worst, most horrific,
most
evil use you've ever seen in your entire life. It's absolutely
unprecedented."
Most of these transactions were handled primarily by Deutsche
Bank-A.B.Brown, a firm which until 1998 was chaired by A. B."Buzzy"
Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA.
C'mon, KSM, level with me...How could you, the "arch enemy of
America" wish
for your enemies to benefit so hugely under your name?
3. Why did you ask FEMA to be in New York the day BEFORE 9/11?
FEMA emergency teams conveniently arrived in New York on 9/10 in
preparation
for an emergency "drill". If you didn't ask them to be there, who
did? Or
was this just an incredible coincidence?
Or perhaps you thought some of your chaps would survive the fireballs
and
require a little First Aid?
4. How on earth did you manage to divert NORAD's attention by getting
them
to play those silly war games that morning? And five of them? And
some of
the exercises actually involving 'live hijackings'? And you managed
to pull
all this off from a cave in Bora Bora? How?
5. Why did you tell Larry Silverstein months in advance to prepare
WTC 7 for
demolition?
You had to have told him -- Mr. Silverstein openly admitted that he
"pulled"
it. We all know "pull" is industry jargon for a controlled demolition.
Silverstein couldn't possibly have had the building wired and loaded
for a
"pull" on the day your lads attacked us - it takes months of
preparation to
set up a building for a pull. So you had to have have told Mr.
Silverstein
of your plans well in advance.
What's your little thing with Lucky Larry?
6. Why did you inform, of all people, the Israelis of your plans?
If you didn't tell them, who did? Five cheering Israeli "art
students" were
videotaping your attacks on the Twin Towers as they happened, yelping
shouts
of joy and mockery. According to ABC's 20/20, when the van in which they
were traveling was later stopped by the police, the driver of the
van, Sivan
Kurzberg, told the officers: "We are Israelis. We are not your
problem. Your
problems are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem."
Why did he feel that Palestinians were a problem for the NYPD? Also,
there
were traces of explosives discovered in the van. Since it was you who
had to
have told the Israelis about your plans, it surely must have been you
who
also supplied the explosives to the Israelis? What's with that?
7. How did you manage to get the entire United States Air Force to stand
down on the day of your attack?
The US military has spent billions of dollars developing spy
satellites, and
stealth aircraft which are invisible to radar so they can mount surprise
attacks on adversaries, but it seems they should have saved their
money and
bought a fleet of airliners, because they appear to be far more
effective.
On 9/11 the world's only military superpower was apparently oblivious
to the
location of your hijacked airliners in it's airspace for almost two
hours,
and military commanders were left perplexed on how to deal with the
situation of your flying aces using these planes as flying bombs - and
wielding silly little boxcutters, no less. This confusion resulted in
our
fighter jets flying around aimlessly whilst the hierarchy fully assessed
what was going on, and this total lack of cohesion ultimately led to the
loss of nearly 3,000 lives. How did you know that all that was
required to
outsmart America's military might on 9/11 were 19 of your guys armed
with
box cutters aboard 4 airliners?
8. Why did you inform the US Secret Service that President Bush would
not be
a target?
President Bush's agenda on the morning of 9/11 had been widely
publicized,
so you must have known he was going to be at the The Booker Elementary
School in Florida. The school video shows the Secret Service did not
rush in
to remove the President to a secure location, or at least to the
safety of
the armored Presidential Limousine. That's their job. That's what
they do in
the case of a real surprise attack with many unknowns. They don't do
anything else.
But the Secret Service did absolutely nothing for 25 minutes after
President
Bush was told the nation was under attack (Neither did the president,
but at
least he had an excuse - he was busy reading about a pet goat). So our
president must have known he was NOT one of the targets that morning.
Why
did you mercifully spare your arch enemy, when you could have nailed
him in
mid-sentence with another Boeing? Talk about a major feather in your
cap!
You'd have eclipsed your boss as #1 evildoer and become the darling
of the
entire 'evil' Islamic world. Why did you blow this brilliant opportunity
when you had a sitting duck (goat?) for a target?
9. Why did you contact New York's authorities to inform them that the
WTC 7
was going to collapse?
Again, you had to have, because they knew it was going to collapse. No
steel-framed building had ever collapsed through fire prior to 9/11, but
Giuliani and his cohorts knew! There was no factual or historical
basis for
this prediction. When was Giuliani warned? Why were only a select few
people
warned?
I just don't understand you, Khalid. You let Giuliani take all the
credit
and walk away with the mantle of Time's 'Man Of The Year' while you
take it
in the shorts and end up in Guantanamo?
10. How did you manage to plant explosives in the twin towers to ensure
perfect collapses?
Explosives had to have been used, because all 3 towers collapsed into
their
own footprints at near-freefall speeds. This kind of collapse is
impossible
without explosives.
How did your boys gain access to these buildings months in advance of
9/11
in order to place and wire the explosives? You absolutely had to have
been
in cahoots with Bush's two cousins and their security company,
Securacom,
which provided security for the entire WTC complex, not to mention the
airports from where your teams took off. How else could you have gained
access?
11. Once the dust had settled, how did you make provisions with the Bush
administration to ensure the investigation into the collapse of the twin
towers would be an under-funded farce?
Over $65 million was spent investigating Bill Clinton's sexual
indiscretions, but the entire 9/11 Commission only spent $15 million.
How
did you manage to pull this off? And why? Was your reason in any way
connected to your desire to have all the WTC steel - vital crime scene
evidence of your dastardly crime - shipped to smelting plants in China,
Korea and India as quickly as possible before experts could analyze the
steel for signs of explosives?
If so, while you were at it, why didn't you also hush-up the editors
of the
respected Fire Engineering magazine who later called the WTC
investigation a
"half-baked farce"?
12. Why didn't you know the identities of your own "hand-picked"
hijackers?
How is it that 7 of your crack kamikaze team are alive and well in the
Middle East? We're told that your guys were highly trained experts, with
knowledge of how to steal identities and forge fake IDs. If so, how come
these men were incapable of correctly filling in US visa applications?
We also know that they spent the night before the attack getting
drunk in
bars, making noise, lapping up lap dances, screaming insults at the
"infidels", and doing everything they could to attract attention to
themselves. (Shame on you as a good Muslim for picking un-Islamic
scum like
these guys for your holy mission against "Satan".) They used credit
cards
issued in their stolen names, allowed their driver's licenses with the
stolen names to be photocopied, and used public library computers to
send
emails back and forth using their stolen names signed to unencrypted
messages about their plans to steal aircraft and crash them into
buildings,
then decorated their apartments with absurdly obvious props such as a
crop
dusting manual to the point where the whole affair reads like a low
budget
"B" detective movie from the 1930s.
In short, these men did everything they could to make sure everyone
knew who
they were and what it was they were up to. How could you have been this
stupid, and yet managed to outsmart NORAD and the USAF?
13. Finally, how did you manage to get these guys aboard their
respective
aircraft?
Were they hideaways aboard airport 'honeywagons' who then crawled up the
crap hoses into the aircraft toilets?
Look, none of your guys had an airline reservation; not one of them
had a
ticket; not one presented his ID to airline counter staff; not one was
assigned a seat; not one was issued a boarding pass - but they all
managed
to board their airplanes!
Not one of their names appeared on a single flight manifest!
Khalid, just a few more questions, please, maestro:
You also must have had a team of insiders working for you at the
Pentagon?
How else could you have turned off the more than 100 externally-
facing CCTV
surveillance cameras on the morning of your attack?
I mean it's obvious. Look, your ace Hani Hanjour (who couldn't solo a
Cessna
172) expertly flies his 200,000-lb Boeing into the side of the
Pentagon, and
not one of the phalanx of cameras surrounding "the world's most
protected
building" captures one solitary frame of this amazing feat?
Who turned them off?
Khalid, you're a true master...
Oh, and the SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) batteries that ringed the
Pentagon...
These missiles, armed and active 24/7, are programmed to
automatically fire
on any approaching aircraft whose transponder does not execute an
instantaneous IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) handshake.
Khalid, you crafty ol' bugger, how on earth did you manage to
deactivate all
these SAMs so they wouldn't prematurely blast ol' Hani into the
waiting arms
of his hundred virgins?
Finally (this time I mean it)... I'm losing sleep trying to figure
out the
type of material you used to manufacture the passports carried by
your team.
I mean this stuff's clearly beyond the pale of garden variety Kevlar.
And the utter indestructibility of this magical stuff is hardly a
secret --
the whole world knows your man Atta's passport tore through layers of
his
clothing, ripped through the aluminum fuselage of his Boeing, sailed
through
a hellish fireball, blasted its way through untold feet of concrete and
steel and...
Gently floated down to the street below.
Wow!
I bet these super-passports also had embedded active RF homing chips
that
enabled FBI agents to find them quickly even while they were buried
under
several feet of dust and debris.
To just think...
A million cubic feet of concrete -- pulverized into a pyroclastic dust
cloud... untold tons of steel -- transformed into 'rivers of molten
metal'... Yet, Atta's passport not only makes it through all this, it
falls
at the feet of an FBI agent?
What technology!
No, what a guy.
Khalid...you the man!
PPS: I won't bother you with questions about the Anthrax
thing...about how
you managed to penetrate hyper-protected US military laboratories in
order
to get your wily hands on that stuff...
Incidentally, sorry about the torture. Really, I mean it. I'm
embarrassed,
as an American and a human being.
Khalid, ol' man, you truly are a master evildoer, a furtive genius whose
shenanigans make 007 look like a kindergartener.
I salute you.
