The constant references to October 7 are framed as if this was the first instance or the initial event rather than yet another attempt by Palestinians to take some measure to free themselves from what has been a most lengthy, protracted, shameful ordeal of evil, and all of it started by Israel! Since these Zionists want to incessantly talk about October 7, I will most certainly do so; but NOT October 7, 2023. Instead, let’s talk about October 7, 2001!

On that day, the United States invaded Afghanistan and, virtually immediately after George W. Bush delivered a statement to the nation announcing the start of the campaign, Al-Jazeera broadcast Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda’s response video (which had actually been preemptively shot on the morning of September 12, 2001).

Every major American outlet interrupted their programming to share the feed live, broadcasting it in full. It featured a defiant Osama, one who in retrospect seem to have anticipated perfectly what would occur 22 years later, given that he was dressed in military fatigues and deliberately donned a golden keffiyeh to showcase and underscore al-Qaeda’s solidarity with the Palestinians.

To top it off, he concluded his statement with an explosive promise that America would not even dream of security until it became a reality in Palestine, a declaration and moment that became known as the notorious “qasam” or “oath.

That was the first and last time Western governments/outlets would ever make the mistake of airing any al-Qaeda statement in full, if even at all. And to ensure their ability to continue behaving malevolently, they promptly scrubbed as much as they could of the approximately 16-minute video, which also featured the statements of others alongside Osama as well, who delivered his message last.

Given the constant suppression of speech, given that the likes of AIPAC have blocked me, that Osama’s viral Letter to America was swiftly removed, that Dr. Michael Scheuer is all but banned from the media outlets himself now, it is incumbent upon any man of goodwill to ensure that the whole world—especially the United States—now see and hear it in full!

Ask yourselves how much different of a trajectory we’d been on if we’d paid attention to the first October 7!: It began with a powerful and fiery message from Shaykh Suleiman Abu Ghaith, al-Qaeda’s spokesperson and Osama’s future son-in-law (and whom @StanleyCohenLaw did an utterly phenomenal job of defending at trial):

Given how frequently this seems to recur, it is time to put the matter of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda's responsibility for 9/11 to bed definitively. This thread offers a number of pieces of evidence—in no particular order—conclusively proving that any claim to the contrary is not merely unreasonable, but ludicrous. Osama bin Laden (supposedly) only denied responsibility ONCE (9/16/2001). I say supposedly because at the time, he was neither in an area from which he could communicate directly to the Pakistani newspaper that published this purported denial, nor had access to two-way communications technology (this was not until he settled at a safe house in late September).

In light of a request from a follower, here's a thread on Marwan al-Shehhi, who piloted the second plane into the World Trade Center:

Shehhi was actually the first of the pilots (and of the hijackers, with the exception of Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi) to arrive in the United States (more detail later). His life story itself is quite fascinating. He was born to a wealthy, religious family in the United Arab Emirates and enlisted in the Emirati military after high school. This decision changed the course of his life as it led to a military scholarship that would enabled him to study in Germany.

In April 1996, Shehhi arrived in Germany with a military scholarship, initially enrolling in a technical program at the University of Bonn before transferring to Hamburg in early 1998 to study at the Hamburg-Harburg Technical University. During this period, acquaintances noted Shehhi's paradoxical nature - he exhibited strong religious observance by praying five times daily yet also wore Western clothes and appeared secular.

It was in Hamburg that Shehhi became part of the 9/11 plotters cell, including Mohamed Atta and Ramzi bin al-Shibh. Shehhi lived with Atta and bin al-Shibh in an apartment from April 1998. There, the group hosted extremist anti-American discussions 3-4 times per week with others in their social circle. In 1999, Shehhi, Atta, bin al-Shibh, and Ziad Jarrah committed themselves to jihad, originally planning to fight in Chechnya. However, after a chance encounter with Khalid al Masri, they were redirected to train in Afghanistan by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, an al-Qaeda contact in Germany. This led the four to obtain Pakistani visas and make their way to the Taliban's office in Quetta before meeting with Osama bin Laden.

In November 1999, Shehhi, Atta, bin al-Shibh, and Jarrah departed Germany for Afghanistan. After reaching the Taliban office in Quetta, they were transported to Kandahar, where they had a private meeting with Osama bin Laden. In this meeting, each of the four pledged loyalty to bin Laden and volunteered for a martyrdom mission. They also met with al-Qaeda's military commander, Mohammed Atef, who informed them of their assignment: to return to Germany, enroll in flight training schools, and await the arrival of Nawaf al Hazmi, the aforementioned al-Qaeda operative who would assist with hijacking Flight 77 and serve as Atta's second-in-command. In early 2000, Shehhi briefly returned to the UAE, where he obtained a new passport and a U.S. visa, all while celebrating his wedding, which he had officially entered into the previous year. He also traveled to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, eventually returning to Germany in March 2000. During this time, the hijackers made a conscious effort to appear more assimilated in terms of their appearance and behavior. A friend noted that Shehhi had shaved his beard and was "acting like his old self again," signifying the group's determination to blend in and avoid suspicion.

Shehhi was the first to enter the United States, flying from Brussels to Newark on May 29, 2000, and waited in New York City for Atta to join him. Together, they scouted various flight schools, even traveling to Oklahoma to explore one option. Ultimately, they settled on Huffman Aviation in Venice, Florida, where they enrolled for flight training.

In mid-September, after several weeks of training, Shehhi and Atta changed their immigration statuses from tourists to students, claiming they intended to study at Huffman until September 1, 2001. Both Shehhi and Atta obtained certificates from the Federal Aviation Administration in November and received their licenses in December.

In January 2001, Shehhi made a call to his family, assuring them he was still studying in Hamburg. However, his long silence had prompted his family to report him missing to the UAE government, triggering a joint search effort by Emirati and German authorities. The search was called off after Shehhi's phone call.
