Proclaiming our existence, as Palestinians, as one people, nagged at the Israelis and drove them to suffer gusts of murderous exasperation. That is why Golda Meir at the time was prepared to raise very serious doubts about the professional skills of her optometrist by stating that “there is no such thing as Palestinians." For so long as we were around, saying our name over and over again, we made them responsible to history. We mocked their claims of turning desert into orchard.

THE STORY THAT COLORADO MEDIA REFUSES TO REPORT:

COLORADO LINKS TO 9/11 PAST AND PRESENT

R. Roy Blake and Michael Jurgens

Perhaps one of the most shocking, cynical, dangerous and cowardly cover-ups in the history of American journalism is the Colorado and especially Denver’s media refusal to investigate and report on the extensive involvement of Colorado based actors in 9/11.  While none of the 9/11 hijackers are known to have traveled to Colorado, pre-9/11 communications between bin Laden and Al Qaeda operatives in the US and several Colorado based actors were key to 9/11 including one that the FBI considered at “the heart of the 9/11 story.”  Shockingly, while downplaying or ignoring altogether the Colorado connection to 9/11, the media has become a shill for the Denver organization whose members likely played a major role in the event. 

After 14 years of pressure, the Obama Administration finally declassified a heavily redacted version of the 28 missing pages of the 9/11 report. The redacted version did not mention names such as Anwar al-Awlaki, that had been mentioned as being in the 28 pages by a 60 Minutes report on the subject.  Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico, the son of New Mexico State University professor who had been born in Yemen.  Awlaki attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where he was President of the Muslim Student Association.  He later served as Imam (Islamic minister) at the Denver Islamic Society on Birch Street just south of Evans Avenue in Denver. 

In the months prior to 9/11 Awlaki left Denver and became the spiritual advisor to two of the 9/11 hijackers that had summered in San Diego and met with three others who were in Fall Church, Virginia and attended the notorious Saudi financed mosque there.  It was also reported that Awlaki was in constant contact with the Saudi embassy in the months immediately prior to 9/11.  An FBI agent had said that he felt that Awlaki was “at the heart of the 9/11 story.” 

When in 2002, al Awlaki attempted to flee the US to avoid answering more questions about 9/11 he was briefly detained at JFK airport in New York, accused of passport fraud before being released to a Saudi government representative.  Awlaki then fled to the UK and two years thereafter to Yemen. 

While in Yemen, Awlaki joined up with Al Qaeda’s franchise there, known as Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).  During Awlaki’s association with AQAP the went on to conduct terrorist attacks throughout the Arabian peninsula that killed Americans, Belgians, Spaniards, South Koreans and hundreds of Saudis and Yemenis.  AQAP also trained the underwear bomber and plotted attacks on Jewish community centers in the US using mail bombs loaded into printer cartridges, plotted using smuggled explosive liquids onto US bound airlines.  Awlaki was also the spiritual inspiration for the Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas that killed 12 and wounded 31.

Others had reported that among the missing names was Homaidan al Turki, a member of the Saudi royal family who had relocated to Denver, Colorado.  Al Turki is currently serving a life sentence in Federal prison for holding an underage Indonesian girl that he had purchased in Saudi Arabia as a slave in his Aurora, Colorado basement.  Al Turki also founded a company called “Al Bashir Publications and Translations” that featured the speeches and sermons of Anwar al Awlaki urging Muslims to violence against non-Muslims and especially the US and the West.  It is difficult to overestimate the effect of Awlaki’s speeches and sermons had, and even after his death, continues to have in terms of inspiring terrorism. 

Even in view of the fact that a significant amount of the 28 pages remained classified, some witting or unwitting Saudi apologists claimed that the redacted portion of the 28 pages “contained no smoking gun” and argued that the matter ought be put to rest. Senator Graham, however, said it did in fact did confirm Saudi government links to the hijackers and that the redacted portions of the 28 pages  ought to be released along with the over 80,000 pages from 9/11 investigations.

The FBI also learned that the two Saudis traveled to Washington to attend a symposium hosted by the Saudi Embassy in collaboration with the Institute for Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America, which was chaired by the Saudi ambassador. Before being shut down for terrorist ties, IIASA employed the late al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki as a lecturer. Awlaki ministered to some of the hijackers and helped them obtain housing and IDs.

In 1994, well prior to 9/11 and just following the first attack large attack on the World Trade Center, the London based “Advice and Reformation Committee” (ARC), widely considered Osama bin Laden’s publicity office, established a “secure system for communications between Saudi Arabia and London for Osama bin Laden.  Incredibly, the system reportedly made use of US Army lines!  In the US the system was centered in Denver, Colorado and initially set up by Denver resident Lujain al-Imam, wife of London based Islamic “activist” Mohammad al Massari.  The calls are routed from Saudi Arabia to Britain through Denver using “toll free lines established for US servicemen during the Gulf War.” 

In addition to al Turki and al Awlaki, other Denver residents suspected of involvement with al Qaeda prior to 9/11 include Khalid al Fawwaz who will later be indicted for his involvement in the 1998 US embassy bombings in Africa.  Another is Ziyad Khaleel, vice president of the Denver Islamic Society until 1994.  Together with al Fawwaz, Khaleel is suspected of purchasing a satellite phone for bin Laden. 

No doubt the one of the reasons that the Denver and Colorado media have ignored the Colorado 9/11 connection has to do with behind the scenes Saudi Arabian money, such as checks written to Denver super law firm Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber and Schreck.  On its website the Brownstein firm touts its “…deep experience…and political connections” which include hosting major Colorado Republican events.  What the website does not disclose is the fact that the Saudi Arabian government pays the firm to fight off the lawsuits of 9/11 victim families and to otherwise lobby on behalf of the Saudis. 

The Denver Post did a few articles on Anwar al Awlaki that were characterized as would be “puff pieces” by talkshow host Rev. Bob Enyart.  One, written before a drone strike in Yemen killed, the man whom after bin Laden was the world’s most wanted terrorist, contended that Awlaki made little impression in Denver despite the fact that the speeches he gave while in Denver inspired and continue to inspire terrorism to this day. 

The Post article made much of the fact that a Denver Islamic Society elder who wished to remain anonymous stated that he had opposed Awlaki’s recruitment of a young Muslim to fight in Chechnya where he was killed.  A careful reading of the article, however, revealed that the reason for the opposition to the young man’s recruitment wasn’t a rejection of jihadi warfare.  It was the fact that due to the age of the young man, he should not go off to jihad without his parent’s consent. 

The fact that the elder at the Denver Islamic Society did not feel safe enough to reveal his identity speaks volumes about the fact that the influence of Awlaki, al –Turki and the others continue to have on the Denver Islamic Society.  Perhaps the worst part of all of this is that the refusal of the Colorado media to report this allows for influence and infiltration that endangers us all.  The current president of the Denver Islamic Society, Mohammed Malki, has held, and probably continues to hold a sensitive position as an “information security officer,” in the Colorado state government.

Return

It will be high noon

When we return.

Not in broken grief

Calling out in all directions—

Not the way we left.

We are too abused by time,

Too strong

In our shared nakedness.
