The NSA or National Security Agency….have you ever heard of it? And if you’ve heard of them….do you know what they do?

You ought to because this is the type of governmental agency that you usually see depicted in the movies…..you know, those spy thrillers that make you glad that “it’s only a movie.”

Well, I just saw one of those documentaries that that always leave me asking the same question. Why am I just now hearing about this when the whole world believes the truth to be something else?

I am referring to the multitude of tragedies…those leading up to the terrorist attacks on September 11,2001 and then, of course, the attacks themselves.

All tragic….AND AVOIDABLE!

How? Do you know the significance of the number, 00–813–682–505–331? It’s Osama bin Laden’s “Immarsat” or satellite telephone number…..or at least it was at the leading up to September 11.

Scary, isn’t it? But wait…..that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The documentary film I saw revealing several more pieces of that puzzle commonly referred to as “9/11” is appropriately titled, “The Spy Factory,” a PBS production. Here is a short video clip from the film.

The film, The Spy Factory follows three of the 9/11 hijackers as they enter the United States without a problem and then travel freely throughout the country, USING THEIR OWN NAMES, as the NSA watches and documents their every move.

Now a fairly logical question might be, “Why didn’t someone intervene and shut them down.” Well, the short answer is that the “boys” at the NSA do not play well with the “boys” at the CIA and any other organization, for that matter!

In 2002, the U.S. House and Senate Intelligence committees asked attorney Eleanor Hill to lead their investigation into why the intelligence community failed to foresee the 9/11 attacks. The more accurate question should be, “why did they not act on or pass what they already knew to the CIA and other the appropriate Senate Committees. Check out the interview.

So after seven plus years of debates, discussions and investigations into the 9/11 attacks….what happened….why and could they have been avoided….what do we know and more importantly…WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

Obviously not much because the same players are running the shows and even though the establishment of “Homeland Security” was supposed to solve those inter/intra agency communication problems….they still remain!

More will be revealed….
