Members, A major historic unsolved puzzle of our times is the BBC's mysterious 23 minutes on 9/11/2001.
As the world watched planes crash into the World Trade Center Buildings I & II, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), reported that a third building (World Trade Center Building 7), had also collapsed in New York. Mystery starts when a female BBC World Service journalist is seen in a live report on that fateful day (video below) reporting the third buildings collapse while the very 47-story sky scraper is still standing and can actually be seen behind her. The BBC report is made 23 minutes before the building crumbles. Was the BBC informed about Building 7's collapse before it actually happened? The facts suggest so. But who then informed them before hand? I put the question to the BBC on their "#AskBBC" programme, and I also asked US presidential candidate Donald Trump on his social media profile what he would do to recognize the Building 7 tragedy. By the time of writing this, both the BBC and Mr. Trump hadn't replied. Meanwhile, on March 9th 2016, Bloomberg News published a story reporting that a US judge had ordered Iran to pay $10.5 billion dollars in damages for the 9/11 attacks. Not Saudi Arabia where most hijackers are alleged to have come from, nor did the judge order Israel whose citizens were reportedly found suspiciously celebrating before fleeng the scene in a white van. The judge instead ordered Iran to pay for the attacks To my knowledge, and to anybody who has followed the tragic event, there are no known connections to Iran on anything 9/11. But while one US court penalized Iran, another US court stated that US laws grant foreign governments protection from being sued in domestic US courts. On 30 Sept 2015, the BBC reported that a 9/11 lawsuit against Saudi Arabia was dismissed by a US judge. The main claim by 9/11 families who were suing the Kingdom is that the Saudi government supported and financed the hijackers. They made this claim even when the official 9/11 Commission report (which their trial was based on), states Saudi government innocence. The judge ruled that by law the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (and any other country for that matter), had "Sovereign immunity". So how then did they manage to put Iran on trial in the US? The fact that they couldn't sue a foreign government is the reason there is now a bill that already passed a US Senate Advisory Committee early this year, and which intends to remove foreign states immunity when the crime is terrorism committed on US soil. The New York Times reported Tuesday that Saudi Arabia has said it will sell $750 billion dollars worth of it's own assets in the US if Congress ultimately passes that bill. The Saudi government simply doesn't want these assets frozen or taken from them once lawsuits are initiated against the Kingdom.. President Obama, who landed in Saudi Arabia several hours ago, and who is on his fourth official visit there since he became president, weighed in on Tuesday, basically saying that if the US Congress passes the bill which allows Americans to sue foreign states, then other countries will retaliate and people might start suing the United States all over the globe. As Mr. Obama urges the Senate to shelve the legislation, from my perspective, Congress will wait til the next president gets to the White House. And my guess is that they probably hope it is Mr. Donald Trump. In the mean time, if one wants to sue the US government for any grievances, the best option in my view has always been to do so in a US court. Preferably with shrewed American lawyers who are known to make anything possible with their justice system. Personally I am 100% a Saudi ally. I cherish the invaluable hospitality for the many years we lived there. And the truth is we consider the successive Saudi monarchs since King Faisal as our Saudi parents. Where they had diplomatic issues, my father always suggested remedies. This week I did just that when I provided the Saudi Royal Court with confidential public affairs consultancy on possible ethical and reconciliatory ways to handle all matters 9/11. However, if it isn't confusion going on in the US legal system (and possibly Congress as well), how the hell is Iran responsible for 9/11?
