Ana Kasparian Reacts to Tucker Carlson's 9/11 CIA Revelations

Tucker Carlson's 9/11 Docuseries First Episode

• 💡 The first episode of Tucker Carlson's 9/11 docuseries focuses on the CIA's intelligence gathering operations, lack of communication with the FBI, and the alleged facilitation of travel for 9/11 hijackers.
• 🎯 The episode claims the CIA attempted to recruit two hijackers for a false flag operation that spiraled out of control.

Mark Rossini's Testimony and CIA Operations

• 🕵️ FBI agent Mark Rossini, who worked at the CIA's "Bin Laden unit," claims the FBI was unaware of the CIA recruiting hijackers as informants.
• ✈️ Rossini states the CIA approved visas that allowed hijackers to travel to the United States, with John Brennan, then station chief in Riyadh, involved.
• 🗺️ The CIA and NSA spied on al-Qaeda through a communications hub in Yemen, known as the "Hatom," which was also the home of a 9/11 hijacker's father-in-law.
• 🔍 The CIA intercepted hijacker Khaled Al-Midar in Dubai and found a U.S. visa in his passport, which was issued by the U.S. consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Obstruction and Lack of Transparency

• 🚫 Rossini alleges that a CIA analyst blocked his attempt to inform the FBI about the CIA's operation, stating it was a "CIA matter."
• ✈️ Two 9/11 hijackers, Al-Midar and Nawaf Al-Hazmi, were tracked by the CIA to the United States, but the FBI was allegedly not informed.
• 🏛️ Former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke stated the CIA was running a false flag operation, a claim denied by a spokesperson for former CIA Director George Tenet.
• 🤫 The 9/11 Commission's executive director, Philip Zelikow, allegedly blocked an investigation into the matter at the behest of Condoleezza Rice, resulting in the official report omitting details about the CIA's plan.

Hijackers' Presence in the US and Saudi Connections

• 📍 Hijackers Al-Hazmi and Al-Midar lived openly in San Diego for over a year, listed in the phone book and using their real names.
• 🤝 They met Omar Al-Bayumi, who the CIA allegedly used as a proxy to spy on them, providing financial support and assistance with housing and identification.
• ✈️ Al-Bayumi's notebook reportedly contained a drawing of an airplane and calculations for flying it, information not seen by 9/11 Commission investigators.
• 💰 Declassified documents suggest Al-Bayumi received substantial funds from the Saudi embassy prior to 9/11.

Communication Breakdowns and Unanswered Questions

• 🚢 The FBI had a picture of Al-Midar from the Malaysia summit and asked the CIA if they knew him, but the CIA refused to identify him.
• ⚠️ The CIA finally alerted the FBI in August 2001, shortly before the 9/11 attacks, but by then it was too late.
• ❓ The video suggests significant missteps and bad ideas carried out by the CIA, with many unanswered questions and a lack of accountability, despite the passage of time.
