Hollywood Set to Release Yet Another Bull**** Film About 9/11

Thanks to Snowden, we know roughly how much our intelligence agencies request for budget:

The CIA's budget is the most expensive, $14.7bn (£9.5bn) out of $52.6bn in total for 16 intelligence agencies, according to the files.
According to the Washington Post, the CIA's budget has grown more than 50% since 2004.
(I guess that means we're 50% safer than 2004? :mrgreen:)

US intelligence agencies' 'black budget' detailed - BBC News
Gosh, you mean cpwill was correct when he pointed out that the claim that the CIA's budget was somehow in the trillions was hysterically, wildly, off base?

How astonishing.

ORLY?

They KNEW the method of attack?

They KNEW the perpetrators?

Show me.

I'll have to compile some info later for you, but yes the method was known for some time (research the pre 9/11 interview by FBI of Zacharias Moussaoui, interviewer wrote 'wants to attack WTC with plane) & FBI agent John O'Neill, who uncovered the 9/11 plot in 1998 while investigating the East Africa embassy bombings. O'Neill was forced to resign his post as Asst Director of Counterterrorism at the NYC bureau.

Perps were also known and surveiled for several months prior to 9/11, by American and Israeli intelligence. Saudi Arabia also knew who the hijackers were, and the Saudi Ambassador to the US contributed $40k to them while they were planning the attacks.

I was just sharing the figures.

Check your facts and your timeline.

Whole lot of claiming going on.

Not a lot of evidence.

And what was learned about 9/11 in 1998?

Especially since it wasnt until 1999-2000 that the planning was taking place for the attacks on the WTC.

We only know the unclassified budgets. Lord only knows about the classified, off-budget budgets. Into which budget go the profits from drug smuggling? Is that confined only to rogue agents, or is there a general fund from that? Curious minds would like to know, but understand they never will. ;)

Well, if you only count the CIA (don't tell them I told you this, btw, mum's the word), then it's just $2,390 Billion (Because "Billion" and "Million" sound pretty similar, so, that seems legit)... but that's only because the CIA is really just a front-organization for the Trilateral Commission (Annual Operating Budget: ~$4.9 Trillion if you only count the drug running and the alien experiments).
