Francesco Cossiga, Ex Italian President Considers US Conspiracy in WTC 9/11 Attack

Recently, a former president of Italy, Francesco Cossiga, said in an interview with the newspaper, Corriere della Sera (November 30, 2007), that "democratic elements in America and Europe, with the Italian center-left in the forefront, now know that the 9/11 attack was planned and executed by the American CIA and Mossad in order to blame the Arab countries, and to persuade the Western powers to undertake military action both in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Apparently, the Italian media has not offered a clarification and Cossigas statement has not been reported by a US newspaper or TV channel.

I was stunned. And I rushed to determine Cossiga's credentials.  Cossiga was Not a "wind bag" Berlusconi type, but was an Expert in Internal/ International Intelligence matters, and was formerly intimately immersed with USA counter Intelligence groups in Italy and Europe  at that time to combat and discredit Russian communism. 

Francesco Cossiga (born July 26, 1928) and is a former President of the Italian Republic. He is now a professor of law at University of Sassari. He is the cousin of Enrico Berlinguer.

Cossiga  has served several times a Minister for Democrazia Cristiana (DC); notably during his stay at Viminale (Ministry for Internal Affairs) he re-structured Italian police, civil protection and secret services organisations. He was in charge during the kidnapping and murdering of Aldo Moro by Red Brigades and resigned when Moro was found dead in 1978.

Cossiga was elected President of Italian Senate 12th of July 1983 and he was until 24th of June 1985, when he became President of Italian Republic.He resigned from his post, and  earned the respect of the opposition because he appeared as the only member of the government who took responsibility for the government stalemate/inaction. This led to his re-election in 1985 as President which was the first time ever a candidate won at the first ballot (where a majority of over 2/3 is necessary, which would subsequently decrease in later ballots).

In his last two years as a President, Cossiga began to express opinions, at times virulent, against the Italian political system. that had not in his opinion, responded appropriately to the deep change that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War would have brought.

These declarations, soon dubbed "esternazioni", or "mattock blows" (picconate ), by the Conservatives ( obviously) were called  inappropriate for a President, but Cossiga was supported by the secretary of the Italian Socialist Party, Bettino Craxi.

 

Cossiga is a lifetime senator, like all the former Presidents of the Republic, since 1992. His current title is President Emeritus of the Italian Republic.

NOW here comes the "Good Part". A strong tension with the President of the Council of Ministers Giulio Andreotti emerged when Andreotti revealed the existence of Gladio, a Stay-behind organization with the official aim of countering a possible Soviet invasion through sabotage and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Cossiga declared his involvement in the setup of the Italian aspect of the organization, that  was founded by Aldo Moro. (You REALLY should 'google " Gladio", and "Operation Condor")

 

Propaganda Due (aka P2), a quasi-freemasonic organization, whose existence was discovered in 1981, was said closely linked to Gladio.

I say this that while I am not one to rush to conspiratorial conclusions, when a man, so intimately involved with an organization funded by the US, and among it's missions were False flag operations ( covert operations) conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities.

Whether or not you embrace it,......... you can NOT dismiss it out of hand.!!!!!!!

We Are All Prisoners Now

Many Europeans regard 9/11 itself as an orchestrated event. Former cabinet members of the British, Canadian and German governments and the Chief of Staff of the Russian Army have publicly expressed their doubts about the official 9/11 story.

Recently, former president of Italy Cassia joined the list of skeptics

By Paul Craig Roberts.

All Americans are now imprisoned in a world of lies and deception created by the Bush Regime and the two complicit parties of Congress, by federal judges too timid or ignorant to recognize a rogue regime running roughshod over the Constitution, by a bought and paid for media that serves as propagandists for a regime of war criminals, and by a public who have forsaken their Founding Fathers.

Americans are also imprisoned by fear, a false fear created by the hoax of terrorism. It has turned out that headline terrorist events since 9/11 have been orchestrated by the US government. For example, the alleged terrorist plot to blow up Chicagos Sears Tower was the brainchild of a FBI agent who searched out a few disaffected people to give lip service to the plot devised by the FBI agent. He arrested his victims, whose trial ended in acquittal and mistrial.

Many Europeans regard 9/11 itself as an orchestrated event. Former cabinet members of the British, Canadian and German governments and the Chief of Staff of the Russian Army have publicly expressed their doubts about the official 9/11 story. "Recently, a former president of Italy, Francesco Cossiga, said in an interview with the newspaper, Corriere della Sera (November 30, 2007), that democratic elements in America and Europe, with the Italian center-left in the forefront, now know that the 9/11 attack was planned and executed by the American CIA and Mossad in order to blame the Arab countries, and to persuade the Western powers to undertake military action both in Iraq and Afghanistan."

It is unclear whether Cossiga was being sarcastic about the opinion of skeptics or merely reporting what people think. I have written to him asking for clarification and will report any reply that I receive. Apparently, the Italian media has not offered a clarification.

Cossigas statement has not been reported by a US newspaper or TV channel.

[ RAA NOTE]  Paul Craig Roberts then goes on to state that Governments are able to intstill a Enormous amount of Terror and Fear thrugh the Propoganda Press, that allows more of their Freedoms to be denied them. It's a charade!!!!!

Raising doubts among Americans about the government is not a strong point of the corporate media. Americans live in a world of propaganda designed to secure their acquiescence to war crimes, torture, searches and police state measures, military aggression, hegemony and oppression, while portraying Americans (and Israelis) as the salt of the earth who are threatened by Muslims who hate their "freedom and democracy."

Americans cling to this "truth" while the Bush regime and a complicit Congress destroy the Bill of Rights and engineer the theft of elections.

Freedom and democracy in America have been reduced to no-fly lists, spying without warrants, arrests without warrants or evidence, permanent detention despite the constitutional protection of habeas corpus, torture despite the prohibition against self-incrimination--the list goes on and on.

In todays fearful America, a US Senator, whose elder brothers were (1) a military hero killed in action, (2) a President of the United States assassinated in office, (3) an Attorney General of the United States and likely president except he was assassinated like his brother, can find himself on the no-fly list. Present and former high government officials, with top secret security clearances, cannot fly with a tube of toothpaste or a bottle of water despite the absence of any evidence that extreme measures imposed by airport security makes flying safer.

Elderly American citizens with walkers and young mothers with children are meticulously searched because US Homeland Security cannot tell the difference between an American citizen and a terrorist.

All Americans should note the ominous implications of the inability of Homeland Security to distinguish an American citizen from a terrorist.

When Airport Security cannot differentiate a US Marine General recipient of the Medal of Honor from a terrorist, Americans have all the information they need to know.

Any and every American can be arrested by unaccountable authority, held indefinitely without charges and tortured until he or she can no longer stand the abuse and confesses.

This predicament, which can now befall any American, is our reward for our stupidity, our indifference, our gullibility, and our lack of compassion for anyone but ourselves.

Some Americans have begun to comprehend the tremendous financial costs of the "war on terror." But few understand the cost to American liberty. Last October a Democrat-sponsored bill, "Prevention of Violent Radicalism and Homegrown Terrorism," passed the House of Representatives 404 to 6.

Only six members of the House voted against tyrannical legislation that would destroy freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and that would mandate 18 months of congressional hearings to discover Americans with "extreme" views who could be preemptively arrested.

What better indication that the US Constitution has lost its authority when elected representatives closest to the people pass a bill that permits the Bill of Rights to be overturned by the subjective opinion of members of an "Extremist Belief".

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan administration. He is credited with curing stagflation and eliminating Phillips curve trade-offs between employment and inflation, an achievement now on the verge of being lost by the worst economic mismanagement in US history.
