Remember reading about those flight schools that were training terrorists in preparation for the series of buildings they flew into on 9/11? Sure you do. And remember reading about the FBI memos documenting that the FBI was watching these terrorists at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, also known as ERAU?

The Muslim Question interviewed employees of ERAU and spoke with involved FBI agents and found evidence that the FBI and ERAU knew much more about the terrorists before 9/11 than they have ever let on.

We previously published about some of the individuals involved, one of whom is currently being held at GITMO (see: I Drank Beer With An Al Qaeda Terrorist).

We aren’t the only credible journalists to cover this story. About the FBI agent who was watching the terrorists with help from ERAU, James Risen of the New York Times wrote:

F.B.I. Told of Worry Over Flight Lessons Before Sept. 11

“The agent noticed that several of those individuals were attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz., a highly regarded college specializing in flight training and other aviation-related studies. The agent thought he might have stumbled onto a larger pattern of Arabs coming to the United States to get aviation training for use in future terrorist activities.”

“In July, he sent a memo to counterterrorism officials at FBI headquarters recommending a study of the issue. He also recommended that the FBI ask the State Department to provide visa data on flight school students from Middle Eastern nations so that the bureau could track them more easily.”

“‘Phoenix believes that the FBI should accumulate a listing of civil aviation universities/colleges around the country,” the memo stated. “FBI field offices with these types of schools in their area should establish appropriate liaison. FBIHQ should discuss this matter with other elements of the U.S. intelligence community and ask the community for any information that supports Phoenix’s suspicions. FBIHQ should consider seeking the necessary authority to obtain visa information from the USDOS (Department of State) on individuals obtaining visas to attend these types of schools and notify the appropriate FBI field office when these individuals are scheduled to arrive in their area of responsibility.’”

In addition, the White House acknowledged it was aware of these activities well before 9/11.

In its effort to divert attention away from the role ERAU played in training and watching the terroristist leading up to 9/11, in the wake of 9/11, ERAU diverted attention from its real role in 9/11, and it did its best to keep the press from gaining access to public meetings concerning what had happened on campus. However, we are the first national medium to document how ERAU played a role in publically blaming the Jews for 9/11, and to date, it still has yet to investigate its role in allowing 9/11 to occur in the first place.

ERAU trains pilots while taking great pride in its “GLOBAL SECURITY AND INTELLIGENCE STUDIES” (GSIS) program, and every chance it gets, it calls itself the Harvard of the Sky (more of its pie-in-the-sky approach to America’s security issues).

(Update - Sept. 24, 2006 at 9 p.m. CST — Please note: After posting this article last evening, ERAU has since disabled the original links we provided for contacts in the paragraph below. We decided to update the dead links with their email links and phone numbers instead. If these also become disabled, we will post the personal pictures of the ERAU staff members mentioned below.)

Although ERAU employs many “retired” intelligence officers (like Dr. Richard Bloom, Prescott Campus, 928-777-3837) and retired military (like Col. Fred Cone, Prescott Campus, 928-777-3840), and although ERAU was involved in recruiting terrorists to attend its programs, after 9/11, ERAU stated in its newspaper:

The Jewish Connection

America is “controlled by the Jews… the American Jew now owns, controls or intensely influences 100 percent of our TV Networks, 100 percent of our motion picture industry, virtually 100 percent of our news and media and international news agencies, and overwhelming majority of publishing facilities, and a similar majority of our radio stations…Can anyone say this is not control?…

Their absolute control of all American channels of philosophical expression permitted them to foment the extreme radical turmoil of the 1960s.

This produced their keystone Jewish legislation, laughingly called ‘civil rights,’ but which has warped civilization’s traditional, time-tested standards of intelligent recognition, analysis and choice, into a Jewish version which demands unrelenting minority worship and their twin techniques of damning the white creators of America as the evil perpetrators of all minority failings.

This is a critical Jewish survival tactic.

Their absolute control of information and opinion has enabled them, through their dupes in Congress, to [produce] their special Jewish invention of a multi-cultural America, another survival strategy, at the same time providing a ready staging area for the perpetrators of Sept. 11 and its anthrax equal.

How can Jews achieve their biblical prophecy of inheriting the earth unless they destroy the genetic heritage of the Americans who created such a superior civilization?

Their dominant (sic) control of all American thought has produced a systematic devastation of all our traditional moral and social standards with every form of degradation, perversion, rebellion, crime and absurdity endlessly sought out, detailed, promoted and glorified on their Jew tube, movie screens and elsewhere, always as the public right to know or modern enlightenment…our TV/media will divert sophisticated Americans from the reality of the Jewish connection to the Sept. 11 tragedies.”

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University actually published the above article in its newspaper. Hard to believe, but it’s true.

If you are interested in more reporting on the role ERAU played in events related to 9/11, we have much more to provide our readers.
