    Obama Administration Shuts Down 9/11 Families Lawsuit  290609Obama

    Court case aimed at revealing Saudi Royal family links to attacks quashed after pressure from government

    Monday, June 29, 2009

    The Obama administration has effectively ended the efforts of families of victims of the September 11th attacks to bring lawsuits against members of the Saudi Royal family for financial links to the conspiracy.

    The Supreme Court today ruled that it will not allow any lawsuits to go ahead, just a few weeks after the government filed a court brief asking that the case be quashed.

    The court, in an order Monday, is leaving in place the ruling of a federal appeals court that the country and the princes are protected by sovereign immunity, which generally means that foreign countries can’t be sued in American courts, reports the Associated Press.

    In late May, the Justice Department had sided in court with the Saudi monarchy in seeking to halt further legal action to hold it liable for the attacks.

    The move came less than a week before Obama was scheduled to meet Saudi King Abdullah as part of his “rebuilding” trip to the Middle East.

    More than 6000 family members denounced the move as an “apparent effort to appease a sometime ally” in a public statement.

    The lawsuits claimed that Saudi Arabia and four of its princes actively aided in financing the plot through front groups posing as charities.

    Obama Administration Shuts Down 9/11 Families Lawsuit  250509BANNER

    Last week, the New York Times ran a report highlighting how documents uncovered by lawyers for the 9/11 families “provide new evidence of extensive financial support for Al Qaeda and other extremist groups by members of the Saudi royal family.”

    The documents consist of “several hundred thousand pages of investigative material” assembled by the 9/11 families, according to the report.

    The families also point to a 28-page, classified section of the 2003 joint congressional inquiry into 9/11 that deals with the Saudi role in the attacks.

    Senator Bob Graham, who sat on the 9/11 Commission, has also charged that Saudi involvement in the attacks has been covered up.

    As we have previously reported, US authorities, including the FBI, allowed the entire Bin Laden family to fly out of the US, and back to Saudi Arabia, in the days after 9/11, without questioning any of them.

    Furthermore, agency documents later revealed that the FBI were aware that Osama Bin Laden himself may have personally chartered one of the flights. They subsequently redacted his name from the records in order “to protect privacy interests.”

    The documents provide clear proof that the FBI was protecting the Bin Laden while the rest of the world was being told that he had masterminded the biggest terror attack in history. The FBI then attempted to cover up this fact.

    The same documents revealed that the Bureau did not consider a single Saudi national nor any of the Bin Laden family worthy of investigative value.

    The protection of Bin Laden by federal authorities has been ongoing since BEFORE 9/11 when agents were told to “back off the Bin Laden family” in order to protect business interests that the Bush family had with the Bin Ladens and other Saudi nationals.

    The FBI asserts that no one on the planes that left had any terrorist links, yet documents (specifically FBI document 199I WF213589) uncovered back in November 2001 prove this to be a falsehood.

    The Obama administration is now continuing the exact same long running policy as the Bush administration by obediently backing the Saudi monarchy and keeping secret this vital information on 9/11.

    How disgustingly ironic it is that “sovereign immunity” is cited in a case relating to 9/11, when the same notion of sovereign immunity is violated on a daily basis as CIA drone delivered missiles rain down on Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    As pointed out by writer Barry Grey, in his excellent piece on the effort to shut down the lawsuits, any exposure given to the Saudi connection would open the flood gates for more suppressed evidence:

    “The revelations would undoubtedly shatter the official explanations of the September 11 attacks and point to complicity on the part of US intelligence and security agencies.” Grey writes.

    “Given its longstanding and intimate ties to the Saudi royal family and Saudi intelligence, it is not possible to believe that the CIA would have been unaware of Saudi support for Al Qaeda and at least some of the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals, as they were preparing to carry out the attacks on New York and Washington.”

    Again, the mountain of suppressed information regarding the most important event of the century, as well as the continued efforts on the part of the new administration to keep it that way, highlights the need for a new independent investigation into 9/11.

      Bushs Saudi buddies are of course protected. Big surprise…….

      Reconmarine Reply:

      This is total bullshit.
      The admissions and actions of KSM and Abu Zubaida are more then enough to show the highest level of Saudi involvement in 9/11. I hope people rise up to the point we get a new investigation and those responsible are brought to justice. Regardless of their position in a royal family or how much oil their country provides the world.

      Another anomaly the 9/11 conspiracy theorists looked over when posting this is, if 9/11 was really an inside job, then their wouldn’t be ANY evidence showing Saudi involvement in 9/11 (why would they plant evidence implicating SA without any intention of doing something about it and if they want to continue our relationship with them?). If it was an inside job, then the Obama admin could allow the families to sue, knowing there is no evidence available to get a guilty verdict………

      Oh the fun of conspiracy theories……..Fiction is fun.

      It was bait money to get a few Arabs on certain flights on a certain day. Like those people in the planes, those “Arabs” never knew what hit them as evidences point to remote control systems being used to direct the planes on their targets.

      As it was shown ( http://whatreallyhappened.com/.....ckers.html ) some of those Arabs did not take the bait and are still alive.

      n Reply:

      He cant fathom that arabs would be set up to fool morons like him into believing it was a “jihad”(hence the “hijackers” with the Saudi passports) He probably thinks Osama is alive because “they” tell us so. He believes the “Osama” audio tapes are real. Trying to reason with him is like trying to get a pig to fly. Useless.

      He knows that the Saudi Royal family had nothing to do with 9/11. WE know that they had nothing to do with it. I believe it was Mussaud with help from Darth Cheney along with other key players. We already know that the rubble was full of nano-thermite which can only be found in government labs.

      Former US Marine Reply:

      Unless the evidence was manufactured by the people who really did 9/11. I know that is too much thinking for reconmarine to do.

      9/11 = Israeli False Flag

      A false flag you little fake idiot is when Israel commits an act to blame another flag like Saudi Arabia, only if the US Government allows the lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, then the Israeli false flag may be revealed. That is why Obama will not allow the REAL information out.

      Come to think of it this guy can’t be that stupid. He has to be a paid employee of the CFR or Federal Reserve. No one can be that stupid without being mentally retarded.

      Please refer tio pp 614, 2nd para of the book “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand.
      The author clearly spelt out the fact that big mistakes like ENRON< WorldCom, 9/11 (no aiir force planes were allowed to fly out despite the system being in place for many years), Financial crisis that all of a sudden errupted on Sept 14, 2008 and any other one can name are not mere lack of over sight and conmtraol, rather they are de,iberate bids with hidden agenda and not for public consumption. In fact all these are interlinked and in no way mutually exclusive.
      So please read the paragraph refered to herein above.
      Obama has to do carry on with the set pattern despite all his so called good intension and agenda / election promises.

      We should all get together and legally through the constitution replace every one of the people in state and federal governments.

      Seriously,it has gotten so corrupt I fear there is no hope-

      Congress just voted themselves 4 billion dollars for expenses while california issues iou’s to state workers????

      The really smart people if it makes a difference right now are making preparations for the fall of the unites states of america-The only people that dont see it coming,are to afraid to look at the beast dead in the eyes and say to themselves,this couple hundred year run might be over,not only for the usa but for the world.

      The reason that the law suite was dismissed by O’bama regime is very simple.If the trial went forward,the Suadia’s would be forced to bring evidence–they had nothing to do with it or their people.
      The main reason,the demo’s are covering up the whole 911 attacks affair is,Bush only had 8 months in office and give the go-ahead only.Odd here on Prison Planet–no-one dares to connect Billy Goat Clinton regime in funding, planning the attacks in start of 1996.
      Another issue overlloked,why hasn’t the family of the victums gone after red cross and government $millions given to-only (if) families who signed the release statements of wrong doing by govern agencies and airport .How about a law suite againist the FBI,who arrested the 5 dancing Joos and released them?
      Realy sucks–not Government but stupid Americans. If it was up to me-Silverstein and his insurance buddies wouldn’t see daylight-ever :^(
