Israel was prime force behind 9/11 attacks: American scholar
Press TV – November 24, 2015
An American scholar and journalist in Wisconsin says not only was the Zionist regime the primary force behind the 9/11 attacks, it was Israeli spies working for Mossad – not Arab Muslims – who celebrated the burning Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.
Dr. Kevin Barrett, a founding member of the Scientific Panel for the Investigation of 9/11, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Monday, a day after an international Jewish organization based in the US denounced Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s claim that dozens of Arab Muslims cheered as the World Trade Center collapsed on September 11 as unsubstantiated.
“It is unfortunate that Donald Trump is giving new life to long-debunked conspiracy theories about 9/11,” the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said in a statement on Sunday, after Trump said in an interview with ABC News that there were “people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population that were cheering as the buildings came down.”
The ADL statement said there is no basis for Trump’s claim, calling it irresponsible and factually challenged. “This seems to be a variation of the anti-Semitic myth that a group of Israelis were seen celebrating as the Twin Towers fell.”
Commenting to Press TV, Dr. Barrett said the Anti-Defamation League is “correct that Trump is factually challenged when he talks about the Arabs celebrating the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11th.”
“But he in fact is referring to a true story, which is that Israeli spies working for the intelligence agency Mossad were in fact arrested after they were caught celebrating the September 11th attacks,” he added.
Sivan Kurzberg led Israeli spies
“They were set up to film the World Trade Center attacks before the first plane hit. They wildly celebrated the flaming and then exploding Twin Towers. They photographed themselves flicking cigarette lighters in front of the burning and exploding buildings,” he stated.
“And then they were arrested. They were held for forty or so days. They failed lie detector tests, and they then returned to Israel. They went on television and admitted that they were there to ‘document the event’, that is Israeli spies led by Sivan Kurzberg are on record in the Israeli mainstream media, bragging that they were sent to New York to document the event,” he said.
“And that means that the people they were working for, namely the Israeli government, were complicit in the event. Apparently the Anti-Defamation League doesn’t know that, because they are saying that Trump’s comment blaming the Arabs appears to be a mixed up version of what they are calling the ‘myth’ of the dancing Israelis celebrating their success on 9/11. But that’s not a myth,” Dr. Barrett emphasized.
“It’s been reported reliably in all kinds of mainstream media, including the Bergen New Jersey Record, which first exposed the story. The leading Jewish newspaper in the United States, The Forward, and Israeli media – including the television show in which Kurzberg brags about being sent to New York to document the event, that was coming up on September 11th,” he pointed out.
“So, the Anti-Defamation League, which is actually an Israeli propaganda outfit, is essentially running a misdirection ploy. They are trying to discredit ‘conspiracy theories’ about 9/11, because they know full well that the government of Israel was the prime force behind the attacks on September 11th,” the analyst explained.
Jewish group lying about 9/11
“The Anti-Defamation League is lying when they are calling it a myth. It isn’t a myth. And every place from the Jewish newspaper The Forward to the Israeli media, even to Fox News, which ran an investigative series by Carl Cameron, admits that this actually happened. Mossad agents were caught red-handed celebrating the success of their destruction of their World Trade Center by controlled demolition on September 11th, 2001,” Dr. Barrett concluded.
The September, 11, 2001 attacks, also known as the 9/11 attacks, were a series of strikes in the US which killed nearly 3,000 people and caused about $10 billion worth of property and infrastructure damage.
US officials assert that the attacks were carried out by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists but many experts have raised questions about the official account.
They believe that rogue elements within the US government, such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, and foreign intelligence agencies orchestrated the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war machine and advance the Zionist agenda.
Dr. Barrett and other eminent scholars have argued that the 9/11 attacks were carried out through a “controlled demolition” technique by placing explosive material inside the twin towers, causing the structures to collapse on themselves in a matter of seconds.

Conspiracy Denial

Lies are Unbekoming | January 27, 2026
In honour of Michael Parenti (1933–2026), who passed away on 24 January 2026 at the age of 92. He spent his life naming what power prefers to leave unnamed.
In 1837, Abraham Lincoln remarked: “These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people.”
Today, he would be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist.
That dismissal—reflexive, automatic, requiring no engagement with evidence—is not a mark of sophistication. It is a tell. The question worth asking is not whether conspiracies exist (they are a matter of public record and a recognised concept in law) but why acknowledging their existence provokes such reliable hostility. What work does the label “conspiracy theorist” actually do?
The late political scientist Michael Parenti spent decades answering that question. His conclusion was blunt: “’Conspiracy’ refers to something more than just illegal acts. It serves as a dismissive label applied to any acknowledgment of ruling-class power, both its legal and illegal operations.” The term functions not as a descriptor but as a weapon—a thought-terminating cliché that protects the powerful from scrutiny by pathologising those who scrutinise them.
Conspiracy denial, in Parenti’s analysis, is not skepticism. It is the opposite of skepticism. It is credulity toward power dressed up as critical thinking. As he wrote in Dirty Truths: “Just because some people have fantasies of conspiracies does not mean all conspiracies are imaginary.” … continue

Israel must have a “dirt file” on every member of the USA government(not unlike J Edgar Hoover had on anyone of importance in the USA) only, it is so much easier today with modern technology.
How else can(what a French diplomat described as) ‘a shitty little country’ in the Middle East, exert SO MUCH influence over the US government?
The American voters would do their country a GREAT service by kicking out these representatives at the next election, and ‘fumigating’ the Houses of Reps and the Senate.
Then the USA can take the country back, restore the(trashed) Constitution and have a complete cleanout of their political system.
It’s a huge job, but America HAS to do it.

Cameras set up before the attack would certainly be suspicious. Maybe a freedom of information act is in order.

GGH, I’m glad you’ve dusted off this post after — almost precisely to the day! — four years. I didn’t comment on this one; I couldn’t keep up with the daily flow of “real” news even back then, and now, at near-76, I’m even more unable….
Is Dr. Barrett still fighting the good fight (I think I get word of him occasionally)? Obviously, he’s not making any headway in a truth-to-power realm…can one imagine the frustration he experiences?…unless perchance he has settled into a “fringe industry” rhythm, working the margins, taking in accolades among his faithful, and making do with such a pitiable, ineffective satisfaction….
Brian’s point — made very often, and I continue to wish that he would include his Australia as a “younger brother” in his denunciations aimed at “taking [our countries’] back” — is of course well made in spades. The current/2019 JEpstein-cum-BClinton-cum-Trump pedophilia, sex trafficking et al brouhaha should, in a better US/world environment, shine a glaring spotlight and finally blow the goddam lid off Ziomonster/Mossad/agents’ espionage and absolute chokehold [the “entangling alliance,” y’know] on America’s micro and macro machinations, belligerent/arrogant transgressions, racism, xenophobia, pussy-grabbing, etc. But it won’t: I sense that the Epstein saga of sadism and malevolence has already run its course and been buried, with Prosecutor (sic) Acosta a convenient whipping boy/scapegoat allowing us (the US sheople and our shepherds) to boast “Well, we’ve had another victory of rooting out wrongdoing and proving for all the world to see that America is an upright, moral, just, and exceptional nation…” and enjoy another 6-pack (or dose on a soothing opioid pill).
To end this morning rant (again: thanks, GGH), I return to and remind all of my single-issue passion: Pity the Palestinians! Viva Palestine! Palestine Is Still THE Issue! (We are all Palestinians now, hewing Zionist wood and carrying Zionist water.)
(God–I can’t believe that I’ve written all these words and neglected to so much as mention Adelson, Revoltin’ Bolton, Pompeo, Pence, the Graham Cracker, the Cotton ball, Rubio, ‘Christian’ Zionism, the defunct Fourth Estate, etc.)

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by that comment, other than to say, if you’re implying that Israel exerts influence over Australia, then my guess is, they do, like they do over Britain and the USA. Australia does not have the Power or Influence that the USA and GB has, so we have limited influence in World politics.
