It’s common knowledge, he reveals, CIA, Mossad behind terror attacks
By the Staff of American Free Press
Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, has told Italy’s oldest and most widely read newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies. In what translates awkwardly into English, Cossiga told the newspaper Corriere della Sera:
“All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe…know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the Mossad, with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part … in Iraq [and] Afghanistan.”
Cossiga was elected president of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide election to become president of the country in 1985, and he remained until 1992.
Cossiga’s tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment, and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio. This was a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 1960s, 1970s and ’80s. Gladio’s specialty was to carry out what they termed “false flag” operations—terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition.
In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony, “You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force … the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.”
Cossiga first expressed his doubts about 9-11 in 2001, and is quoted by 9-11 researcherWebster Tarpley saying “The mastermind of the attack must have been a sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and
flight security personnel.”
Coming from a widely respected former head of state, Cossiga’s assertion that the 9-11 attacks were an inside job and that this is common knowledge among global intelligence agencies is illuminating. It is one more eye-opening confirmation that has not been mentioned by America’s propaganda machine in print or on TV. Nevertheless, because of his experience and status in the world, Cossiga cannot be discounted as a crackpot.

Anyone else seems to have gotten their heads around this pretty easily and quickly.
Now, we need to find ways of exposing the fraud and the War Of Terror for what it really is ... a false flag to beef up the Police State in the dying days of cheap energy capitalism

Jack Spratt writes "That the only people who *don't* seem to accept this fact are the trolls here and the common person on the street."
Actually, I think it's possible you underestimate the 'common person'.... many common people on the street quite readily see that there has been a major cover-up and very few people I know believe the official story.
It mostly seems to be a case of "there's fuck all I can do about it" mentality going on which stops more widespread outspoken outrage.
imho.

Do those allegations in any way address the comments that Italy's former Prime Minister made about the attacks, and who was responsible for them?
Does it address the mountain of evidence supporting his statements?
Exactly. Take a hike, Troll.

Do you think it is a good thing that you are promoting such sites? Do you think IM is the right place for holohcaust denial?

Did Cossiga reveal Gladio, I don't think so
23.12.2007 21:32
I thought somebody called Casson originally "discovered" Gladio.
It had been in the news for a while when Cossiga said his piece.
Anyway it's funny to see people still talking about Left and Right,
in regard to Italian Politics, mafia and freemasonry in Italy.
Italy was founded by Freemasons, Garibaldi for example was a freemason and also a "Left Winger".
The mafia was also founded at the same time.
The Italian Left has historic links with Freemasonry and indeed Regions like Tuscany(Florence) and Emilio Romanga (Bologna) are totally masonic, although Tuscany was rather fond of fascism during Mussolini's reign.
No surprise to find the likes of the author of this comment safe and sound and very comfortable under the protection of his leftie friends at villa Wanda overlooking Arezzo 60 odd miles down the road from Florence.
Just because it appears on a so called right wing site doesn't make the slightest difference, if it's true.
Cossiga was, probably still is a, a pal of Gelli and certainly knows his way around the Mafia and Italian freemasonry two very much connected organizations.

Evidence Supports These Statements, Troll(s) Can Only Gnash Its Teeth
24.12.2007 15:56
And nothing about a claimed 'Jewish' background prevents someone from engaging in evil. They're human beings, like everyone else. However, these are Zionist Extremists - and their fellow Neo-Fascists - which is something very different altogether.
Rather than waste any more time, I'll simply post my response to this same Troll on the other related thread.
Notice that, as is true of virtually any post concerning 9/11, the Plant(s), Troll(s) don't actually produce any viable or honest counter-argument, they simply Libel the people posting the information, and ridicule the original authors.
Their very need to post suggests that 'someone' is concerned enough about these discussions to dispatch these nasty little parasites to the IMC.
"The poster has posted much, much worse in the past."
And you know this how, exactly?
Where is the evidence to support your allegations?
"That aside the fact that someone can post a theory based on no evidence whatsoever"
These are the statements of an informed source, not a 'theory'. What he is questioning is an unsupported, and quite ludicrous, Conspiracy Theory, that has remained unproven for six and a half years, while its authors have used it to 'justify' the most horrific international crimes and an indefensible agenda. As they are know to do.
The evidence, however, points directly to the agencies this former diplomat fingers for the crime.

Now, if you have nothing more credible to say, I think you're about done here.

And as for our Jew obsessed troll and his "evidence":
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/12/388419.html
Looks like his Standards of Evidence are every bit as poor as the CIA who bought "illegal non-combatants" off the Northern Alliance and banged them up on Gitmo for years with no due process.

As the author/subscriber of a "theory" it is your duty to defend it. Defending a position means backing it up with a succession of irrefutable points that lead to your conclusion. It doesn't mean blaming the person questioning it, as a diversionary tactic.
I freely admit that any comments I have made on the subject have been unresearched speculation. I have no real theory to offer. Anything I have said can be torn apart easily as I have nothing to back it up. I don't claim to "have anything".
That doesn't mean I cannot question others who claim to have a substantial position based on research.
Now that we have that cleared up, can you get back to backing up your theory, or admitting that you just made it all up?
Show us the "evidence" or shut up.
