The Wahhabi-Zionism Monstrosity Come To Life: How US Foreign Policy Decisions Led To The Future 9/11 Attacks
During the Ottoman and British reign in mandated Saudi lands and Israel, it was the United States government with direct sponsorship from European Jewry and the prospect of billions in oil dollars waiting in the Southern Arabian land is where poignant decisions were made. Back the influence of Theodore Hertzl and King Abdulaziz ibn Abdul Rahman Al Saud. Both of these men were to formally lead their countries with the sole backing of not Britain but of the United States. Within a short amount of time, turmoil and sectarian violence led the way to the future destabilization of the Middle East, and ramifications "unforeseen" that would terrorize the world over, most specifically the United States with the 9/11 attacks. This episode will detail the brief history of how that happened.

An Interview With Thomas Drake (Former NSA Senior Executive & Whistleblower Of Waste & Fraud At NSA)
Thomas Drake is a former senior executive with the National Security Agency, a United States Air Force and Navy veteran, computer software expert, and whistleblower. During his career at the Air Force, Drake was an Airborne Voice Processing Specialist, with fluency in German, and went on ELINT (electronic intelligence) missions. While at NSA he became a senior-executive holding top security clearance and later he blew the whistle on multi-billion fraud, loss of intelligence, wrongdoing and a secret dragnet electronic surveillance and data mining program conducted on a vast scale by the NSA after 9/11. The name of the program was called Trailblazer. This program violated and subverted the Constitution as well as individual sovereignty and privacy, while weakening national security and fundamentally eroding civil liberties. In April 2010 he was charged by the US Department of Justice with a 10 felony count Espionage Act indictment facing 35 years in prison, until the government's case against him collapsed in June 2011. Drake rejected several deals because he refused to "plea bargain with the truth". He eventually pleaded to one misdemeanor count for exceeding authorized use of a computer. He is the 2011 recipient of the Ridenhour Prize for Truth Telling while also awarded the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence (SAAII) award and the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award.

Post 9/11 Terrorism Resurgence: Our Foreign Policy Helps Create The Fundamentalist Threat
In this episode i speak on the current US foreign policy framework and how the terrorist networks such as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and Taliban in Afghanistan, are working with other Arab fundamentalist organizations to coordinate a response to the tragedies in Gaza, Yemen and North Africa to which the United States government plays a part. The reports from the United Nations Security Counsel as well as terrorism experts have all reported that the current threat matrix coming out of Afghanistan and the Arabian Peninsula is now far ahead and plans for a international terrorist operation is heading underway. The question is, how can we prepare accordingly.

A Vulgar Betrayal Of FBI Agent Robert Wright Jr.: How The Agency Maligned It's Own
Robert Wright Jr. was a former FBI counter-terrorism agent out of the Chicago Field Office who once spearheaded an intricate investigation into suspected money laundering of terrorist groups by Islamic relief charities, code named "Vulgar Betrayal". By the time the investigation started, Wright noted how top brass at the Chicago and FBI headquarters in Washington DC looked to upend Wright's investigative team, by not providing him with the necessary financing or manpower to further their operation. Wright would later complain that "FBI management intentionally and repeatedly thwarted and obstructed my attempts to launch a more comprehensive investigation to identify and neutralize terrorists." Information about the Holy Land Foundation, BMI Inc, and their ties to terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and Hamas were intentionally thwarted or mismanaged which led to the abrupt end of the "Vulgar Betrayal" investigation. Afterwards, Wright would author a detailed book, to which, the FBI prevented him from publishing with threats of criminal prosecution. By 2006 a court ruling would approve of the book's release.

Malfeasance,, Conspiracy & Coverup: How Were The 9/11 Attacks Successful
In this episode i talk about the raw intelligence and data that the US intelligence services had which could had prevented the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, from being an operational success. But because of internal grievances, malfeasance and nefarious agendas, the intelligence was not shared with each other. Even when the attacks were taking place, the national defense failed us. I read from numerous media sources, and play congressional inquiry audio, to give you a brief look into the malfeasance, conspiracy and coverups involving various facets of the intelligence agencies, media and department of defense.

The CIA & Omar Abdel Rahman: Terrorism Conjoined
In this episode i cover the initial entry of a known radical cleric from the Egyptian fundamentalist group, Gamma Islamiyyah, Omar Abdel Rahman, into the United States. Also known as the "Blind Sheikh" due to the effects of blindness from an early age, Rahman had been linked to the assassination of Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat, but later released under house arrest. However he escaped, and would later be given residency into the United States, while on a terrorist watchlist approved by the CIA. This discussion involves the years of Rahman's initial entry into the country, the CIA's close relationship with Rahman and other radical Islamists including Ali Mohamed (a triple agent for CIA, FBI and Al Qaeda). By 1990 the collapse of the Soviet Union with the assistance of the agency and Pakistan ISI thru the program, "Operation Cyclone", The hatred for the West would come in the form of guerilla terrorism warfare which was seemingly born out of either malfeasance or a more nefarious conspiracy to later engage in an endless war on terrorism abroad.
