The
US legislation against Saudi Arabia could expose the real deep state
structure behind the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, says Dr.
Kevin Barrett, an American academic who has been studying the events
of 9/11 since late 2003.
Dr.
Barrett, a founding member of the
Scientific Panel for the Investigation of 9/11,
made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Thursday, a
day after the US Congress overwhelmingly voted to override President
Barack Obama’s veto of legislation allowing relatives of the
victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia.
On
Wednesday, Senators voted 97-1 in favor of the “Justice Against
Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA),” which was vetoed by Obama last
week. Only Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada,
voted to sustain the president’s veto.
Hours
later, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted against the
presidential decree, 348 to 77. Only 18 Republicans and 59 Democrats
voted not to override the veto.
The
September 11 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 al-Qaeda
terrorists but many experts have raised questions about the official
account. They believe that rogue elements within the US government
orchestrated the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war
machine and advance the Zionist agenda.
9/11
was attack by enemies of Islam
Dr.
Barrett said “the US Congress had been intimidated into complete
silence on all issues involving what may have really happened on
September 11, 2001.”
“And
the only way they were able actually to do anything was with this
bill, by pretending that the people they are going after are evil
Muslims over in Saudi Arabia, when of course 9/11 was an attack by
the enemies of Islam, a false flag designed to falsely blame Muslims
and to paint Islam in bad light to trigger one hundred years of war
on Islam and Muslim countries, especially in the Middle East, on
behalf Israel,” he said.
“So
Congress of course cannot say that, because the media and the
financial establishment in the United States are dominated by
Zionists, which is of course the group that did 9/11. So instead
they’re doing a sort of end-run around that Zionist power
configuration, as James Petras calls it, and they are pretending that
this really about Saudi Arabia,” the analyst said.
“So
this JASTA bill will allow the families of victims of the 9/11
attacks to sue Saudi Arabia, overriding the traditional sovereign
immunity that prevents people from suing governments.”
On
Wednesday, Obama said the JASTA bill sets a "dangerous
precedent" in international law that could have repercussions
for the United States.
"If
we eliminate this notion of sovereign immunity, then our men and
women in uniform around the world could potentially start seeing
ourselves subject to reciprocal loss," he said.
9/11
bill to open floodgates of lawsuits against US

Dr.
Barrett said “the Obama administration’s reaction against this is
quite telling. They claim that this bill is a disaster, because it
will open the floodgates for people in other countries who have been
victimized by US-sponsored state terrorism, to sue the United States’
government.”
“So
essentially Obama and his allies who are against the JASTA bill are
admitting that the United States government commits massive amount of
state terrorism all over the world, which is in fact the case,” he
stated.
“According
to the book by Noam Chomsky and Andre Vltchek On
Western Terrorism,
the Unites States government has murdered between 50 to 60 million
people around the world in terrorist attacks since World War II -- 50
to 60 million people! No wonder Obama and his friends are afraid of
losing sovereign immunity, and the lawsuits that will come pouring in
against the United States as soon as this suit against Saudi Arabia
commences,” the scholar said.
Why
is JASTA bill ‘wonderful’?

“From
the perspective of those of us who care about justice and making a
better world, this is wonderful,” said Dr. Barrett, the author
of Questioning
the War on Terror.
“The
lawsuit against Saudi Arabia for 9/11 has a chance of exposing the
real deep state structure behind 9/11 – which did involve elements
of the Saudi government including Bandar bin Sultan, who smoked a
celebratory cigar with George W. Bush right after the 9/11 attack on
the White House balcony – but also more importantly the
neoconservative faction here in the United States and its masters in
Tel Aviv, that’s the Israelis who were the real force behind 9/11,
which was designed to destroy seven countries in five years as
General Wesley Clark said,” he explained.
“Those
seven countries are the so-called enemies of Israel. I hope that the
entire truth will come out. I hope that the millions of survivors of
US terrorist attacks around the world will sue the US government. And
I am hoping that that this JASTA bill will open the door for a better
world,” the researcher said in his concluding remarks.
