Freshly released but heavily censored FBI documents include tantalizing new information about events connected to the Sarasota Saudis who moved suddenly out of their home about two weeks before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, leaving behind clothing, jewelry and cars.
The documents were released to BrowardBulldog.org Monday amid ongoing Freedom of Information Act litigation. The news organization sued in 2012 after being denied access to the FBI’s file on a once-secret investigation focusing on Abdulaziz al-Hijji, his wife, Anoud, and her father, Esam Ghazzawi, an advisor to a Saudi prince.

An FBI letter accompanying the documents, the fourth batch to be released since the lawsuit was filed, cites national security and other reasons to justify why certain information was withheld. The letter does not explain why the documents were not previously acknowledged to exist.
None of that information, or even the fact that an investigation in Sarasota took place, was disclosed by the FBI to Congress’ Joint Inquiry into the attacks or to the 9/11 Commission, according to former Florida U.S. Sen. Bob Graham. Graham co-chaired the joint inquiry.

That 9/11 Commission report itself was a huge part of keeping the official cover up story in place, never mind that it was actively thwarted by the Bush Admin. for more than 400 days after the 9/11 events.
This is what happens when neocon policies and Saudi desires for a caliphate in the M.E. overlap.
After months of negotiations, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney agreed to meet behind closed doors with the 9-11 Commission, with the following conditions: they would not be under oath; they would not appear together; and the session would not be recorded, transcribed or made public
The problem with that fairly tale, the best case scenario is that our leadership is incompetent, and that's putting it nicely. So incompetent that they should have either resigned from office or forced to resign. But no one was ever held responsible. Not one person was fired, suspended, written up, let alone there be an investigation into anything but the bad brown Muslims (and of course, later on, the American people; eg Patriot Act, NSA spying, TSA, etc).

The simple truth is that the FBI is a long time player in the shadowy government which is manipulating American policies for its own ends.....The 9/11 tradgedy was a preplanned event,Orchestrated by Dick and others....

"No conclusive evidence was found to indicate that pre-collapse fires were sever enough to have a significant effect on the microstructure that would have resulted in weakening of the steel structure." NIST NCSTAR 1-3C, p. 235
no evidence the type of joining methods, materials, or welding procedures used was improper NIST 1-3 p.99
recovered bolts were stronger than typical. NIST 1-2 p.133

"the phenomenon that we saw on 9/11 that brought this particular building down was really thermal expansion, which occurs at lower temperatures."

Dear Mr. Bob
This letter serves a the final response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (Log#10-194) to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in which you requested
in connection with its investigation for the technical cause of the collapse of the World Trade Center Tower and World Trade Center Building 7 on September 1,200I:
'1. All input and results files of the ANSYS 16 story collapse initiation model with detailed connection models that were used to analyze the structural response to thermal loads, break element source code, ANSYS script files for the break element s, custom executable ANSYS file, and all Excel spreadsheets and other supporting calculations used to develop floor connection failure modes and capacities.
2. All input files with connection material properties and all results flies of the LS-DYNA 47-story global collapse model that were used to simulate sequential structural failures leading to collapse and all Excel spreadsheets and other supporting calculations used to develop floor connection failure modes and capacities."
NIST is withholding sixty-eight thousand, two hundred and forty-six (68,246) file. These records are currently exempt from disclosure under section (b)(3) of the FOlA., 5 .S.C § 552 (b)(3). Exemption (b)(3) permits an agency to withhold records in an agency's possession which are records that are "specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (other than 5 .S.C552(b», provided that such statute (A) requires that the matters be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion on the issue, or (B) establishes particular criteria for
withholding or refers to particular types of matters to be ...withheld."
The statute underlying the (b)(3) exemption in this case is the at National Construction Safety Team (1 C T) Act, 15 .S.. § 7301 et seq_ Section 12 of the CST Act (ISS_C § 7311) provides that it applies to the activities of 1ST in response to the attacks of September I ), 200 I. Section 7(d) of the NIST Act (15 U.S.C § 7306(d», exempts from disclosure. information received by 1ST in the course of investigations regarding building failures if the Director finds that the disclosure of the information might jeopardize public safety. On July 9 2009 the Director of NIST determined that release of the withheld information might' jeopardize public safety. Therefore, these records are being withheld.

making the jump from flying a Cessna to flying a jet would be like going from your learner drivers permit to driving NASCAR or Formula 1. It's all good till you turn the steering wheel 1/4 of an inch with no experience, lol
have to do with the government wireing the building for demo?
Can't the conspiracy people come up with one version of 911?
First it was secret government planes.
Then it was misiles.
Then it was lasers from space.

Because nobody even remotely connected to the Saudi royal family could possibly have any desire for a caliphate.
That is if we don't count Bin Laden and god knows who else.
