The Atlantic Admits Saudi Complicity in 9/11

• 58:12Tim notes the government has finally admitted the Saudis were involved in 9/11 through a quiet Atlantic magazine article.
• 58:38The Atlantic headline: "New 9/11 evidence points to deep Saudi complicity" and "two decades of US policy appear rooted in a mistake."
• 59:03FBI investigators were supposedly so ignorant of what Saudi Embassy staff were doing that their counter-intelligence conduct remains inexplicable.
• 59:35Agents investigated the Saudis' support for hijackers until at least 2021, but the Justice Department shut down their work.
• 1:00:29Senator Bob Graham from Florida pursued the Saudi angle and was harassed by the FBI for suggesting a cover-up.
• 1:01:14Tim explains the official narrative: a ragtag group of stateless actors rather than a state-sponsored operation, which justified attacking anyone globally.
• 1:01:50Two decades of foreign policy were based entirely on the false assumption of stateless Al-Qaeda rather than Saudi state funding.
• 1:02:11The Atlantic article reveals Saudi National Security apparatus groomed and funded the hijackers, yet the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq instead.
• 1:02:47Tim suggests Saudis may have had co-conspirators within the US government, but future revelations will receive even less attention than this one.
