Former President of Italy: 9/11 was an Inside Job

On November 30th, the former President of Italy, Francesco Cossiga, wrote in Italy's largest newspaper: Corriere della Sera

[Bin Laden supposedly confessed] to the Qaeda September [attack] to the two towers in New York [claiming to be] the author of the attack of the 11, while all the [intelligence services] of America and Europe ... now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the CIA American and 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.


The above is a rough translation using Babelfish. Someone who speaks fluent Italian will be able produce a much more accurate translation.

Mr. Cossiga previously stated, in 2001:

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.”

A friend of mine is half Italian and speaks it fluently. I have sent the link to him.

Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job
Man who set up Operation Gladio tells Italy's largest newspaper attacks were run by CIA, Mossad

Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio Francesco Cossiga has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.

Cossiga was elected President of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide 1985 election to become President of the country in 1985.

Cossiga gained respect from opposition parties as one of a rare breed - an honest politician - and led the country for seven years until April 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 - a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

Gladio's specialty was to carry out what they coined "false flag operations," terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition.

Cossiga's revelations contributed to an Italian parliamentary investigation of Gladio in 2000, during which evidence was unearthed that the attacks were being overseen by the U.S. intelligence apparatus.

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's new revelations appeared last week in Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper, Corriere della Sera. Below appears a rough translation.

"[Bin Laden supposedly confessed] to the Qaeda September [attack] to the two towers in New York [claiming to be] the author of the attack of the 11, while all the [intelligence services] of America and Europe ... now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the CIA American and 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 first expressed his doubts about 9/11 in 2001, and is quoted in Webster Tarpley's book as stating that "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 amongst global intelligence agencies is highly unlikely to be mentioned by any establishment media outlets, because like the hundreds of other sober ex-government, military, air force professionals, allied to hundreds more professors and intellectuals - he can't be sidelined as a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

This is a huge story.
The former president of a western democracy catergorically calling 911 an inside job.
Huge.

[conspiracy analyst]

I wonder what Dr. Larry O' Hara says to this one.
Is Cossiga part of the paid services of Tarpley or Tarpley part of his services.

Either which way we are in an unsolveable conundrum.
Having accepted the existence of Gladio, Dr. Larry O' Hara must now disassociate himself from one of its founders.

It appears the conspiracy theorists are now becoming mainstream.
Its time to denounce them as an ...inside job!

[Mark Gobell]

Good point CA.

On the face of it this could be a boon.

However, to attribute yet another dodgy UBL audio to Berlusconi is, for me, beyond parody.

[insidejob]

Except, we don't know how he knows that most Intelligence services know it was an inside job. He doesn't say he has spoken to senior, international Intelligence services. When he says they know, does that mean that is their official conclusion or senior folk suspect? Which Intelligence services? CIA, who helped to do it? German, which also helped to do it? MI6 and MI5, both of which help to do it? And if these Intelligence services know, what of their politicians? Do they agree with their Intelligence services?

We need to know more.

I copied and pasted the story to google translator and got the following result:

[conspiracy analyst]

The first evidence that the security services were involved in Italian political life was the revelations found in Sanguinettis book, (in the link below) but obvioulsy not before a widely held view by part of italian society that bombings attributed to the left were actually the work of the right.

http://antagonise.blogspot.com/

This became evident in populist culture in the form of Dario Fo's play the 'Accidental Death of an Anarchist' which showed how the police kill people on the pretext of nothing.

The Italian premier if he was instrumental in setting up Gladio (stay behind anti-communist network organised by NATO) takes his orders from the Yanks directly. He has made this announcement with the full knowledge of the American Embassy. It is inconcievable for this not to be the case.

So why has he stated it?
a) For internal Italian consumption as we have a Left (ex-CP) and hard-line CP coalition to forestall italian reversal of Afghan policy
b) Prepare a post-Bush era psychologically to manage the fallout from such a disclosure?
c) Weaken the pro-Cheney war faction?

There has to be a reason and we will soon know.

Was Tarpley recently in Italy with a publication of his book?
To forestall its message?

Good scoop but is there not the thinly veiled anti semitism vein in it (Mossad ,Zionists behind it )

Berlusconi is a former member of P2, the paper that published Cossiga's statement is Italy's "Evening Courier", the Corriere della Sera. The Corriere has been previously linked to P2.

Cossiga says that nobody has come forward standing up for the authenticity of the Osama tape, because Osama admits to doing 9/11... specifically;

"Da ambienti vicini a Palazzo Chigi, centro nevralgico di direzione dell'intelligence italiana..."
http://www.corriere.it/politica/07_novembre_30/osama_berlusconi_cossig a_27f4ccee-9f55-11dc-8807-0003ba99c53b.shtml

My interpretation of what he is saying is roughly; "The atmosphere around Palazzo Chigi, nerve center of Italian intelligence..." is that the tape is not authentic, and this is bolstered by the fact that the sense in the "ambienti democratici d'America e d'Europa" (atmospheres of America and Europe) is that 9/11 was a CIA/MOSSAD job. He goes out of his way to say that this is definitely the case with the Italian left.

So he is basically saying that hard proof is going to be published that will expose Berlusconi for the b****** that he is, and "everybody knows" that 9/11 was a CIA/MOSSAD op.

But who is this guy? This Cossiga?

During the kidnapping and murder of Italian Premier Aldo Moro, Cossiga surrounded himself with members of P2, and the CIA;

Former Italian President Cossiga exposes CIA & Mossad as 9/11 culprits

Posted on MEDIALENS by Dr Gideon Polya on December 5, 2007

Former President of Italy Francesco Cossiga was a law professor, president of Italy (an important and sophisticated country with a population of about 60 million) and a life Senator of Italy – and accordingly a person whose expert and insider opinions about 9/11 on November 2007 to top Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera should be taken very seriously (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Cossiga ; the link includes a link to the original Italian ), QUOTE:


"[Bin Laden supposedly confessed] to the Qaeda September [attack] to the two towers in New York [claiming to be] the author of the attack of the 11, while all the [intelligence services] of America and Europe ... now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the CIA American and 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."


Of course this startling testimony from a distinguished, intellligence expert and intelligence "insider" is consistent with the huge BENEFIT to the Racist Zionists and Racist Bush-ites from the dishonest and war criminal exploitation of 9/11 by the Bush Administration to launch the Bush Wars (post-invasion excess deaths in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories now total 1.5-2 million and 3-6 million, respectively) (see: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya081107.htm ).

This November 2007 interview has been reported in the Alternative media but not as far as I know by the lying, corporate, Bush-ite Mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies.
