April 8--Venice Florida
Less than six weeks before
the September 11th attack Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi engaged in
a fist-pounding shouting match, according to eyewitnesses, at The Pelican
Alley restaurant in Venice Florida.
Long after the FBI’s official
chronology asserts that Atta’s Hamburg cadre had left Venice, their initial
port of entry into American pilot training, the core of the terrorist group
was still moving in and out of town, asserts "Mohamed Atta & the Venice
Flying Circus," a new documentary investigating the Florida flight schools
training terrorist pilots. An eight-minute segment is airing this week
at www.theconspiracychannel.com.
Just six weeks before they
are incinerated along with thousands of their victims after they apparently
murderously wrenched control of their planes from their pilots and steered
them into the World Trade Center Towers, Atta and his young sidekick Marwan
were arguing so loudly in a Gulf-front restaurant that their waitress alerted
the restaurant's manager.
"Right after (Sept 11th)
we had newspapers come down, and immediately we knew what it was about,
because I remembered the table, and so did Tom," says Renee Adorna.
"And when they showed us
their pictures, I immediately recognized them, because they’d caused
a scene in our restaurant."
Maybe the FBI knew what
they'd find... if they looked
Though it was said to be
the most massive investigation in FBI history, it is a scene the FBI doesn’t
even know occurred. Even though the restaurant is located barely a block
from the terrorists rented home, agents never bothered to question anyone
there.
How massive is that?
What Atta and Marwan were
arguing about offers clues to what was going through their heads, and strangely,
although the terrorist pilots have been universally labeled "Islamic fundamentalists,"
what they were pounding the table over wasn't an argument about fine points
in the Koran...
They were arguing about money.
"The big guy was pounding
his fist on the table, saying ‘We’re talking $200,000! We’ve got
to answer to the Family!" recalls Renee Adorna, who with her husband Tom
own and manage the restaurant.
"I thought they were Mafia,
and tried to stay away from their table."
"There were three of them,
and they all looked of the Egyptian persuasion," she continued. "Dark skin,
dark hair. They were dressed in Florida-type shirts, you know, the silk
with the pattern. And they were all wearing lots of jewelry… Lots of
jewelry."
"And I could have sworn that
the one guy was wearing a cross, you know, the big gaudy gold cross on
the chest. But I’m not sure now. But I know he had a big watch on," Renee
says.
Big Watch. Big Jewelry. Big
Trouble for the "official story?"
And if it were, would it
be any Big Surprise?
Witnesses to the conspiracy
in progress
"I only recognized one of
them, Atta," Renee continues. "He barely spoke a word to me. But he had
a really mean expression on his face. He seemed very unhappy. The other
guy—the heavy-set guy, did all the talking and was very friendly and
outgoing."
"Atta and the big guy were
arguing. And it was the big guy that was yelling at Atta, saying ‘we’re
talking $200,000! We’ve got to answer to the Family!’" she recalls.
"I thought they were Mafia,
and tried to stay away from the table, pretty much, until it looked like
it could get out of hand, and so I went and got the owner."
"Renee came into the office
and said there were three gentlemen who were getting very loud, and creating
a scene," Tom recalls. "She was afraid that it might get too out of control."
Tom thereupon sat at a nearby
table for the next ten minutes, which served to quell the disturbance.
"I remember they were arguing
about money," he says. "The big guy was doing most of the talking. The
other guy, the main guy, Atta, he sat there not saying a word."
When they were asked if the
FBI’s "massive" investigation had sent anyone into their restaurant,
the answer, perhaps predictably, was ‘no.’
"The FBI was right down the
street at their (Atta and Marwan’s rented) house, but they never came
by to see us," Tom Adorna says.
"When nobody came over here
to talk to us, only newspaper people, I thought it was pretty strange,"
Renee Adorna states.
"Maybe they already had
everything they needed"
"I mean, we thought that
maybe they might want some information. But maybe they already had all
the information that they needed."
The FBI never finished its
investigation into the Sept 11 disaster.
Their work was halted by
Pres. Bush, in an effort, he said, to free more manpower for the anthrax
investigation.
Well, the anthrax is behind
us now...
3000 dead people command
us to find the truth about how it is they came to die on September 11 in
the year 2001.
And any real search for that
truth inevitably winds up, incongruously, in tiny Venice, Florida, at the
Venice Municipal Airport, on whose runways, barely eighteen months ago,
Mohamed Atta joined the Venice Flying Circus.
Recognition of this prompted
federal authorities responsible for barring dangerous aliens from the United
States to send Atta's and al-Shehhi's names on federal visa approval forms
to 'flight school owner' Rudi Dekkers, supposedly six months to the day
after the attack.
In an action akin to LBJ's
presidential aides inviting Lee Harvey Oswald to a state dinner in the
White House, Rudi Dekkers got a Free Ride.
It's known as "preparing
the battlefield."
