Wednesday’s Daily Mail has further evidence of the deep Saudi Royal Family role in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. After noting that President Obama was snubbed visibly on his arrival in Riyad for his meeting with King Salman—the King did not even show up at the airport to greet President Obama on his arrival—the lengthy article went on to detail the case of Al Qaeda bomb-maker Ghassan al-Sharbi, who was arrested in 2002. In the course of capturing documents in his possession, investigators found a Saudi embassy envelope, which contained a flight school certification in al-Sharbi’s name. The details of the al-Sharbi links to the flight training prior to the 9/11 attacks and the evidence of contacts with Saudi embassy officials were contained in Document 17, the 47-page staff memo from the 9/11 Commission, that was declassified last year and is now publicly available on the website of the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP).

Between the contents of the newly declassified staff papers of the 9/11 Commission and the other revelations about high-level Saudi government ties to the Sept. 11, 2001 plotters, it is becoming almost impossible for the cover-up to continue. What is now obviously needed is a new, thorough, top-down investigation, focusing on the Anglo-Saudi apparatus behind the global jihad terror, including a long-overdue full investigation of the Al Yamamah British-Saudi barter scheme, under which hundreds of billions of dollars were squirreled into offshore accounts for use by terrorist networks, and other British-Saudi regime-change operations.

The public pressure on President Obama to declassify the 28-page chapter from the original Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 intensified Wednesday, as President Obama arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to a cool welcome from King Salman. In his interview with Charlie Rose on the eve of his trip to Saudi Arabia, Britain and Germany, Obama had made clear that he intends to veto the JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act) bill if it arrives on his desk, and he had also made clear that he had no intention of releasing the 28 pages, dodging the issue by putting the burden on Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who is an Obama stooge. Claims that Clapper is “almost finished” with the intelligence review have been used as a stalling tactic by the White House for three years; the review actually began under pressure from the Senate Intelligence Committee.

After gloating that Republican Senate leaders were backing Obama’s plans to sink JASTA, Sen. Lindsey Graham came out on Wednesday, reversing his position by announcing that, with minor changes in language, he will lift his hold, and allow the bill to come before the full Senate for a vote next week.

A growing chorus of public officials and Middle East experts have called for the release of the 28 pages in the past day, including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, who told Eleanor Clift of the Daily Beast that he will defer to the judgement of the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunez (R-Cal.), who came out a week ago, following the 60 Minutes airing, supporting the release of the chapter. Bruce Reidel, a former CIA officer now at the Brookings Institution, also called Obama’s bluff on the 28 pages, arguing that the late Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Saud bin-Faisal, had said the pages should be released, claiming they would exonerate top Royal Family members.

Saudi expert Simon Henderson disputed those Saudi claims in an article today in Foreign Policy, in which he referenced a story he had published in 2002, based on reports from members of the Saudi Royal Family, who had confirmed to him that two very senior princes had paid Al Qaeda hundreds of millions of dollars in return for a promise that the House of Saud would not be targeted. He reported that recent efforts to determine whether those arrangements were ever terminated got negative responses.

Sen. Bob Graham also weighed in yesterday, with a powerful article published in TCPalm, a Florida publication affiliated with USA Today. Graham started out by saying that the government had not just covered up the truth about Sept. 11, 2001.

Following Jacques Attali’s weekly L’Express column titled “When Can We Expect the London Papers?”, on April 17 Le Monde also went gunning for the City of London in a full-page story titled “Offshore Havens, the Jewels of the British Empire.”

Led off with the kicker,

this article goes in detail to explain that the City is the result of “feudal” and “imperial” legacies. The whole picture is completed by close-ups of the British Overseas Territories serving as tax havens; territories under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom — Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, Gibraltar, Anguilla and Montserrat islands. And, some of the Crown Dependencies which belong directly to the British Crown, are not part of the United Kingdom, or the EU; such as The Isle of Man, and The Channel Islands (Guernsey & Jersey).

The page is spiced up with detailed information: How “since the Middle Ages,” the City has had a specific status obtained from King John Lackland, granting it autonomy and a favorable tax law; how the ideal tools for tax evasion, the “trusts,” go back to “the times of the Crusades,” when those leaving for the Orient entrusted their wealth to a “trusted” third-party manager; and how under the Empire, the British or foreign companies based in Britain were given “non-resident” fiscal status, which granted the leaders of companies based outside of Britain an exemption from taxes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama spoke by phone, Monday, at the initiation of the US side, according to the Kremlin, to discuss Syria and Ukraine. Putin “stressed the need for the moderate opposition to distance themselves swiftly from ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, and to close Syria’s border with Turkey, from where fighters and arms supplies for the extremists make their way in,” according to the Kremlin readout. “The two presidents agreed to continue building up their coordination on Syria, including through their intelligence services and defense ministries. For this purpose, additional measures will be put in place for rapid response to violations of the ceasefire.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in remarks to reporters, Monday, that echoed Putin’s statements to Obama, noted that so-called moderate rebel groups that signed onto the Russia-US brokered cease fire have not removed themselves from proximity to areas controlled by Jabhat al Nusra. According to a lengthy report in RT, Lavrov blamed the US for failing to exert influence on the opposition and questioned its claims of being moderate.

Washington officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, agreed with Moscow’s stance, “that if these groups want to fulfill the conditions of the ceasefire and don’t want to look like terrorist supporters, they must do a simple thing — change their dislocation area and physically separate themselves from the terrorists,” Lavrov said. He added that the US has repeatedly promised Russia to exert its influence on moderate opposition, but the minister said that “those promises are still not fulfilled.”

“If this moderate opposition doesn’t want to leave the areas occupied by Al-Nusra, maybe it is not moderate? Maybe they are just those, who cooperate with Al-Nusra despite the UN Security Council resolution?” he asked. Both Al Nusra and ISIS, Lavrov stressed, are trying to improve their positions in Aleppo. “They are, I stress once again, a legitimate target for those, fighting against terrorism in Syria,” he said. 

President Barack Obama, who, like his predecessor George W. Bush, has fully embraced the terrorist networks created by the Saudi and British Royal Families ascollaborators in colonial “regime change” operations, is now off to bow and kiss the feet of the world’s most prolific killers, King Salman of Saudi Arabia and the bloody Queen of England and the British Commonwealth.

But, the explosion into the public eye this past week of Obama’s personal role in hiding the Saudi’s direct role in the terrorist attack on the United States on 9/11, contained in the 28 pages of the Congressional 9/11 report which Obama has refused to declassify, has placed Obama on a course to self destruction, proving to the world that he is himself complicit in international terrorism.

If Obama refuses to declassify the 28 pages, he confirms his treason against the United States (and the world) for covering up the British/Saudi terrorism. If he chooses to declassify the 28 pages, it will demonstrate that he, like Bush, worked hand-in-hand with the Saudi-controlled terror apparatus, and therefore also confirms his treason against the United States.

Those many cowardly Americans who knew Obama has committed multiple crimes against the Constitution, but who claimed it was “not practical” to impeach him or force his removal under the 25th Amendment, must now denounce their own subservience to “practicality” and join with LaRouche in demanding the truth,
regardless of the consequences.

The CBS “60 Minutes” program on April 10 which blew the cover on the Obama/Bush cover-up of the Saudi role in 9/11, identified former FBI Director Robert Mueller as the individual who demanded the classification of the 28 pages. Not surprisingly, it was the same Robert Mueller who headed the “Get LaRouche Task Force” in the 1980s which railroaded LaRouche and several of his associates to prison, desperately (but unsuccessfully) trying to break the power of the LaRouche movement in identifying the crimes of London, Wall Street, and their political assets in Washington, such as Bush and later Obama, and posing a future for America and the world based on development, scientific progress and the fostering of creativity in every human being.

Now, the bankruptcy of the Wall Street “too big to fail” banks is no longer hidden. The West’s financial oligarchs are screaming for negative interest rates and helicopter money” to keep them afloat for a few more days or weeks. This bankruptcy is the driving force behind the British/Obama push for war on Russia and China. Only the removal of Obama, now—not after an election which has no candidates even qualified to be president of the US—can this disaster be prevented, creating the pre-conditions for a new world order based on the common aims of mankind be created.

There are more and more reports in the Western media claiming that the Russia/US-brokered truce in Syria is in the process of unraveling, and blame is most often laid at the feet of the Syrian government of Bashar al Assad and its Russian backers for allegedly violating the ceasefire and for refusing to accept the demand that Assad must leave before any political transition is agreed on. European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini was in Tehran over the weekend, calling on Iran to pressure Assad to accept “a political process that is successful.” Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said that Tehran has no “red line” that would block Mr. Assad’s eventual departure. However, “Everybody should get this message… They need to be serious. They need to try and end the conflict in Syria rather than to try and score geopolitical points… But it seems to us that Saudi Arabia has yet to understand the need and the imperative of peace and tranquility in this region. When they are ready, we will be ready too,” he said.

The Saudi-backed opposition in Geneva seems to be on the verge of declaring the truce over and the talks at an end. In an internet message to fighters on the ground, Asaad al-Zoubi, chief negotiator for the Saudi-sponsored High Negotiations Committee, said there was a limit to how long he would negotiate if government advances continued and no progress developed on the opposition demand that Assad must go.

“We will not stay for long negotiating… In the event a missile targets them [rebels], they have to retaliate with ten missiles,” said Zoubi. He added that rebels “must gain control of as many areas as possible, they must take advantage of the ceasefire as the regime has done.”

Mohamed Alloouhs, a leader of the Saudi-backed Army of Islam and also a member of the HNC, called for rebel forces to “retaliate” against government forces that allegedly attack civilians, but, when questioned by Sputnik, backed away from any assertion that the truce should be ended.

The collapse of negotiations is exactly the condition mooted as necessary for Obama’s “Plan B” — arming the opposition with MANPADS, which could be used to shoot down Russian planes. Al Monitor, in its Week in Review column posted yesterday, warns that Plan B needs to be shelved, or better yet, shredded right away, for reasons including the fact that the so-called moderate groups to whom the CIA would be supplying more lethal weapons often run with Al Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al Nusra.

“The thought of advanced arms, including anti-aircraft weapons, falling into the possession of sectarian Salafi groups such as Jaish al-Islam and Ahrar al-Sham, which are fellow travelers with Jabhat al-Nusra, and are backed by Saudi Arabia and Turkey, should be something to be avoided, not discussed,” Al Monitor writes. 

As he prepares to travel for an April 20 meeting with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, followed by lunch two days later with the British Empire’s Queen Elizabeth in Buckingham Palace, Barack Obama is getting slammed from multiple directions. But will he be removed from office in time to prevent the launching of thermonuclear World War III?

The uproar over Obama’s cover-up of the Saudi role in financing and facilitating the 9/11 terror attacks, is escalating by the hour. Congressmen Walter Jones (R-NC), Stephen Lynch (D-MA), and Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Friday April 15 sent an open letter to Obama, urging him

Today, the three congressmen followed up with a joint press release to widely report on their open letter, and to emphasize that Obama must act before he travels to Saudi Arabia.

See the full story behind the 28 pages.

The public uproar has reached the point where even Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders—both acutely aware of sentiment in the state of New York, which will hold its Democratic primary on April 19—were forced to clarify that they did, in fact, support the JASTA bill, which forces the Saudis to answer in U.S. court of law for their 9/11 crimes. Sanders even allowed that Obama should release the censored 28 pages “as soon as possible.” The New York Daily News welcomed their about-face with the screaming, front-page headline: “Hill & Bern Turn on Bam.”

Lyndon LaRouche today underscored, in a webcast discussion with the LPAC Policy Committee, that “This is something which has the potential of forcing a turn of the screw, and that’s exactly what we’re looking for.” He stressed that “the existence of the Saudi role is determined by the policy of the U.S.,” especially under the Bush and Obama presidencies, including the dirty operations run by the FBI. And removing Obama from the office of the Presidency is the only effective way to stop the ongoing terror and treachery.

That action is also the required step to stop the countdown to nuclear war, stemming from escalating U.S. and NATO provocations that strategically endanger Russia and China. These two countries are countering the threats, as they said they would—with asymmetric responses in different theaters around the planet. On April 11, Russia buzzed the USS Donald Cook in the Baltic Sea close to their coastline; on April 14, Russian fighter jets intercepted an American spy plane also close to Russian territory; and on April 15, Russia test-launched a nuclear-capable Iskander missile, which hit its intended target 200 km away, after having defeated simulated “enemy” anti-missile defense systems.

But the principle obstacle to defeating these policies, LaRouche emphasized on Monday, is that Americans have become slaves to public opinion—with the help of the FBI. They are “completely subservient to these kinds of degeneration, and that’s the characteristic. That’s what makes it function. It’s that people are conditioned to grovel” in front of those who are destroying their livelihood and taking the world to war. Americans have tolerated a reversal of FDR’s economic policies, and that has destroyed the U.S. and world economy. A return to those policies, with a global Hamiltonian development system to replace the bankrupt trans-Atlantic financial system, is the task immediately before us.

Winning this battle, LaRouche stated, “is a very risky endeavor… You have to fight against popular opinion. If you can’t fight against popular opinion, you don’t have the courage to do the job that has to be done. That’s the real issue here… I know that anything you are going to do that is going to mean anything, is something you have to fight your way through. Without that, you will not succeed.”

Even the Treasury securities holdings the Saudi monarchy is using to threaten the U.S. Congress to prevent exposure and responsibility for their role in the 9/11 attacks, are kept a secret by the United States.

The Treasury has kept Saudi holdings secret for 40 years, as a concession to the House of Saud, while publishing the holdings of every other country in detail. Bloomberg News reported this on Jan. 21, 2016 in an article focusing on whether and how much Saudi Arabia might have to sell off to raise cash for its financial crisis. Now, it means that members of the Senate don’t really know what Saudi Arabia is threatening them with if they pass the JASTA [Justice Against State Sponsors of Terrorism Act] Bill of Senators Schumer and Corzyn. Only the Saudi monarchy and a small handful of Treasury officials know the holdings.

The New York Times, in its April 16 story breaking the news that Saudi Foreign Minister Jubeir had threatened Congress with selling off the kingdom’s U.S. Treasuries, was only guestimating that the sell-off threat involves “up to $750 billion.” As Bloomberg reported,

Senator Bob Graham, in a New York Daily News interview April 17, said “I think the action by Saudi Arabia is reprehensible and also very revealing. They are so fearful of what would emerge if there were to be a full trial [on the victims’ families’ lawsuit]. That says something about Saudi Arabia’s involvement in 9/11.”

Graham also strongly criticized Obama’s backing the Saudis. “I think it’s even more objectionable,” he said, “that the U.S. government has been supporting Saudi Arabia and erecting roadblocks to the passage of the legislation.”
