Congressman won’t rule out Saudi royal family foreknowledge of 9/11 plot!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 26, 2016 - A former member of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the events of September 11, 2001, on Tuesday left open the possibility that the Saudi royal family knew about the plot before it happened.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (Kalif.) asked members of the panel at a House Foreign Relations subcommittee hearing to raise their hands in response to this question:

“How many of you there believe that the royal family of Saudi Arabia did not know and was unaware that there was a terrorist plot being implemented that would result in a historic terrorist attack in the (Fascist Police States of Amerika), in the lead-up to 9/11?” Two of the four panelists raised their hands, but Tim Roemer, 9/11 Commission member and a former congressman from Indiana, did not. Neither did Simon Henderson, director of the Gulf and Energy Policy Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

“Congressman, that is just too difficult a question for someone to raise their hand or put their hand down,” Roemer explained. He then suggested that Rohrabacher read 28 classified pages of a 2002 congressional report that describe overseas support for the 9/11 attackers.

Those 28 pages remain classified despite calls for their release from several former members of the 9/11 Commission - a bipartisan blue-ribbon panel that from 2002 to 2004 investigated the 9/11 attacks and the intelligence failures that allowed them to succeed.

Senator Bob Graham (Fla.), co-chairman of the congressional inquiry into the attacks, has suggested that the pages contain “substantial” evidence of Saudi involvement - both by the government and private citizens. “I think it is implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didn’t speak English, most of whom had never been in the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) before, many of whom didn’t have a high school education - could’ve carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the (Fascist Police States of Amerika),” Graham said on 60 Minutes last month.

Graham and his Republican co-chair, former Senator Porter Goss, have joined 9/11 victims’ family members, activists, and congressional leadership to call for the release of the 28 pages. The chapter was initially classified by the George W. Bush White House, fearful of upsetting a FPSA ally. Despite twice promising to release the pages, illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama has withheld them.

In response to public pressure in the wake of his fourth visit to Saudi Arabia last month, Obama asked James Clapper, his director of national intelligence, to review the possible declassification of the pages. Obama said last month, “My understanding is that he’s about to complete that process.”

Roemer has previously described the 28 pages as a “preliminary police report,” so it is likely that they lack definitive conclusions about the knowledge of the Saudi royal family. But he clearly wasn’t ready to rule it out.

Rohrabacher left no doubt about his views, saying, “The Saudi royal family [has] been right up to their eyeballs in supporting radical Islamic terror in the Middle East.”
