The 9-11 Dancing Middle Easterners and their vans

    In the months prior to 9-11 an Israeli "art student" "possible" spy ring was busted by the DEA according to a DEA report leaked by Cryptome.org. The report shows many overlaps of the art students with the later 9-11 hijackers.

    On 9-11 a number of people were arrested in the New York/New Jersey area for terrorism related offenses, all were later released and all were riding in white vans.

    The best known are the "dancing Israelis" 5 men illegally in America working for what the FBI considered a possible front - Urban Moving Systems, whose owner, Dominik Suter fled the to Israel almost immediately after being questioned. Dominik Suter would later turn up on a leaked FBI terrorist list. The five were arrested after a complaint was made to police that they were seen recording and celebrating the attacks. One witness, who spoke with the FBI seen them in the Carpark at 8am, before the first plane hit.

    According to local NJ newspaper The Bergen Record on Sept 12 and the FBI report bomb-sniffing dogs reacted to their van.
    However, sources close to the investigation said they found other evidence linking the men to the bombing plot.


    "There are maps of the city in the car with certain places highlighted," the source said. "It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was going to happen when they were at Liberty State Park."
    Sources also said that bomb-sniffing dogs reacted as if they had detected explosives, although officers were unable to find anything. The FBI seized the van for further testing, authorities said.

    There is evidence of apaprent explosions in the twin towers on 9-11.


    And so the other vans...

    Here Dan Rather reports on two men arrested on 9-11 by the FBI with a "truck full of explosives"


    And here is the rather strange case of the mural van which apparently was driving around New York on 9-11 and according to Police Radio transmission from 9-11 it's two passengers fled the car and were subsequently arrested and their van exploded.
    officer: [inaudible] I got a message on that uh plane,
    its a big truck with a mural painted of a of a airplane diving into New York City
    and exploding [inaudible] know whats in the truck, the truck is in between 6th and 7th on King Street
    officer: [inaudible] 10-5 10-5
    officer: with a mural painted uh airplane diving into New York blowing up. Two men got outta the truck
    ran away from it, we got those two [inaudible] under.
    officer: kay great.
    officer: we got both suspects under kay, we have the suspects who drivedrove in the van and that exploded
    we have both of them under kay lets get some help over here
    officer: now Im sending you [inaudible] I just want to make sure you and your guys all right over there kay, thats all.
    officer: whats the location [inaudible]
    officer: put em up, put em up
    officer: you know we have both the [inaudible] driven that exploded. Is that correct?
    officer: what location?
    officer: location [inaudible]
    officer: [inaudible] location [inaudible]
    officer: King Street between 6th and 7th
    officer: King Street and 6th and 7th avenue, King Street and 6th and 7th avenue
    officer: [inaudible] on the scene King 6 and 7, which unit are you kay?


    I want to make it abundantly clear that this has absolutely nothing to do with religion/race from the outset and any posts which try to go down that route will be ignored and reported for taking the thread off-topic.

    Also, I don't know what happened that day and don't have any answers and am not expecting any as it's an unsolved mystery, but one that's worth exploring IMO.

    A final point is that I am not interested in the "uhm..well, dey let em go" argument as it means nothing as the tail has been known to dog on occasions such as these.

    Otherwise, let's hope we can keep it clean and have a productive discussion.

    There's few unanswered, and probably unanswerable questions for the conspiracy narrative.
    First and foremost what specific evidence is there to show that these knew that the attacks were going to happen before they did?

    Also your post contains some mistruths such as you say that the FBI said that their company was a possible front, this isn't the case.
    And you also say that the dogs reacted to explosives, but this is decidedly different to explosive residues being found.

    Course this also leads to the question about why they'd have explosives in the first place...
    But one thing at a time I think.

    We've already been over this. I would emphasise that this is what I consider evidence for what they may have known.

    A - Their sighting by a witness, according to the FBI report of them in the carpark at 8am; before any attacks had occured.

    B- Their unusual behaviour in "celebrating" the attacks. Their no evidence of anyone else in New York/ New Jersey celebrating the attacks.

    C- Their explanations given for "celebrating" the attacks when under investigation by the FBI Counter-Terrorism unit.

    They claimed to be celebrating because a terrorist attacks by Islamic terrorists on the US would "be good for Israel".

    They were celebrating at the latest after the first tower was hit and before the second one was, when nobody else had known it was a terrorist attack.

    How did they a) know it was a terrorist attack before the US government and b) know it was Islamic terrorists?

    D - They travelled with their recording equipment from their initial vantage point where they had perfectly visibility on the first tower which had been hit but couldn't see the second tower to a vantage point where they could see both towers. This is before the second tower was hit. Did they move to get a good view of the second tower before it had been hit for no apparent reason?

    Yes it is and again has already been addressed here.
    During the search conducted by the W.P.D, it was revealed that the building and all of its contents had been abandoned by (BLANKED AREA) the owner of UMS. This apparently is being done to avoid criminal prosecution after the 9.11.01 arrest of 5 of his employees and subsequent seizure of his office computer systems by members of the FBI NK on or around 9.13.01.
    A search of UMS, Weehawken, New Jersey revealed more oddities which caused the search team leader to characterize the company as a possible "Fraudulent Operation." There was little evidence of a legitimate business operation that was found. Evidence recovery agents did seize however, 16 seperate computer units used by UMS

    Do you think Mossad agents somehow end up working as furniture movers?
    Oddly equipment typically used in a moving company's daily duties was not found including work gloves, blanket, straps, ropes, boxes, dollies, rollers etc,.

    Which is exactly the reason I said what I said. Sniffer dog evidence is admissable in court. It is not an absolute guarantee but is a good indicator. We don't know the result of the tests on the van so it must remain considered that it is quite possible that the van had been carrying explosive materials.

    Well yes you have claimed many of these things before yet you didn't back any of them up.
    A - Their sighting by a witness, according to the FBI report of them in the carpark at 8am; before any attacks had occured.
    And? Being in a car park isn't an indication of a crime, nor unusual for people working for a moving company.
    And of course this would be in the same carpark were they had to move from to get a better view right?
    B- Their unusual behaviour in "celebrating" the attacks. Their no evidence of anyone else in New York/ New Jersey celebrating the attacks.
    Again, and? I'm sure there was plenty of folk who acted like assholes and made inappropriate jokes and such. These guys were just caught.

    And I see this as being evidence against them being Mossad agents. Or at the very least against them being competent and understanding basic intelligence skills.
    C- Their explanations given for "celebrating" the attacks when under investigation by the FBI Counter-Terrorism unit.

    They claimed to be celebrating because a terrorist attacks by Islamic terrorists on the US would "be good for Israel".

    They were celebrating at the latest after the first tower was hit and before the second one was, when nobody else had known it was a terrorist attack.

    How did they a) know it was a terrorist attack before the US government and b) know it was Islamic terrorists?
    Well first, please actually point out were they actually said this to the FBI.
    D - They travelled with their recording equipment from their initial vantage point where they had perfectly visibility on the first tower which had been hit but couldn't see the second tower to a vantage point where they could see both towers. This is before the second tower was hit. Did they move to get a good view of the second tower before it had been hit for no apparent reason?
    But that vantage point also was further north wasn't it?
    Isn't it true that they wouldn't have seen the impact point of the first plane from their initial vantage point which was to the south of the WTC?

    And also, if being in the right place at the right time to actually see the plane hit the second tower (but also being on the wrong side to see the approach and impact) is an indication of them being in on it, them the thousand of people who were able to see the crash, and even record the impact all must have know about it. Right?
    And what about WTC7? How did people know it was going to collapse 5 hours later? How were they able to be in positions to record it's collapse if the didn't know it was going to fall unless they were in on the conspiracy?
    Yes it is and again has already been addressed here.

    The report says it was a team leader on the ground that concluded that it was a possible fraudulent operation. This was not the conclusion of the FBI despite your claim.

    And despite all of this they still had a work roster which the boss was able to produce.
    So are you going to claim that they had the for thought to prepare the paper work in case they were investigated, but for some reason didn't buy stuff like work gloves, blanket, straps, ropes, boxes, dollies, rollers etc,?
    Do you think Mossad agents somehow end up working as furniture movers?
    Well you've yet to actually prove that they are Mossad agents.

We don't know the result of the tests on the van so it must remain considered that it is quite possible that the van had been carrying explosive materials.
    But that's not the same thing as explosives or explosive residue being found.
    Were either actually found in the van? Does the report say that the test were run? And if so why are the results not in the report?

    And bonus question, why would they have explosives in the first place?

    Evidence obtained after a search by a police sniffer dog was ruled inadmissible by New South Wales Deputy Chief Magistrate Mary Jerram in Police v Darby, on 21 November 2001. The magistrate had earlier ruled that the dog had conducted a form of search and that the search was illegal.

    The sniffer dog evidence was inadmissable not because it was gained illegally. Nothing else. I have no interest in reading the rest of your links when you clearly don't bother.

    Then you're clearly not paying attention.

    The sniffer dog can be used as justification to search a person, vechile or premise, the dog's reaction is in itself not admissiable.

    But you're the one who claims

    Please provide evidence to support this assertion.

    Dear me...please try to get up to speed with the facts. The FBI report would be a good place to start.

    The carpark they were seen in at 8am was the same carpark that were seen recording the carnage and celebrating the first plane hitting. 8am was over an hour before the first plane hit the WTC.
    The reason they claimed to be there under interrogation was to get a good view of the attack. So in your opinion it's not in any way strange that they were seen in the carpark that they "documented the event" at before there even was any hint of an event?

    And they actually told the FBI that the reason they were celebrating was because the attacks would be beneficial to Israel, that it was, quote, "a good thing for Israel" — that’s according to the FBI spokesman who spoke on the record about this — and that it would bring sympathy for Israel’s political agenda in the Middle East.

    No, it's not true. The roof of Urban Moving Systems, (as far as I can tell would have been ideal for recording the first plane to hit, but would have been an awful place for recording the second plane to hit as the North Tower would obstruct the South Tower.

    This is from FEMA,

    Urban Moving System's roof was ideally placed to see/record the impact of the first tower (WTC 1) from across the Hudson.

    You didn't understand any of that did you?

    Sniffer dog evidence is not admissible of proof that there were drugs in the car. It was used as justification of probable cause to justify a further search of car.

    Similarly the dogs alert on 911 is not "proof" of explosives in the van. And you can't arrest someone and charge them with possession simply because a dog gives a alert.

    Simply put a sniffer dog's alert is proof of nothing. It's not a admissible piece of evidence that you can bring to court. Which is what you claimed in your OP.

    It is not an absolute guarantee but is a good indicator.

    Then you clearly don't understand what the word evidence means in a court of law.
    We don't know the result of the tests on the van so it must remain considered that it is quite possible that the van had been carrying explosive materials.

    Thats' conjecture and speculation.

    A Sniffer dog barking can be used as probable cause for a police officer to conduct a court.

    You can't use a dog's reaction as evidence to form a conviction.

    It's probable cause not evidence

    You don't understand the difference.

    Dear me...please try to get up to speed with the facts. The FBI report would be a good place to start.
    I've read the report. I just don't argee with your conclusions and miss representations of it and the surrounding facts.
    The carpark they were seen in at 8am was the same carpark that were seen recording the carnage and celebrating the first plane hitting. 8am was over an hour before the first plane hit the WTC.
    The reason they claimed to be there under interrogation was to get a good view of the attack. So in your opinion it's not in any way strange that they were seen in the carpark that they "documented the event" at before there even was any hint of an event?
    Was there any actual reports of them having recording equipment out before the impacts?

    So in your opinion is it strange that people working for a moving company would go to the same place twice in one day?
    Right. Your a smart kid surely you don't need me to explain to you that if something is obstructing your view of an object you want to view moving around the obstruction can lead to a clear view?
    Yes, thanks for the patronising. It does wonders for your argument.

    But I'm sure that you also understand how the same all applies to the damage already done by the first plane.

    And they actually told the FBI that the reason they were celebrating was because the attacks would be beneficial to Israel, that it was, quote, "a good thing for Israel" — that’s according to the FBI spokesman who spoke on the record about this — and that it would bring sympathy for Israel’s political agenda in the Middle East.
    That article does not supply support for what you are claiming.
    There's no source or reference and it's on a clearly biased site.

    And then even if we assume that they did actually say this, why does it prove they had foreknowledge?
    Isn't it possible that they just jumped the gun and assumed it was an attack before it was confirmed?
    No, it's not true. The roof of Urban Moving Systems, (as far as I can tell would have been ideal for recording the first plane to hit, but would have been an awful place for recording the second plane to hit as the North Tower would obstruct the South Tower.

    This is from FEMA,
    59907_160104620673204_160102307340102_560297_678636_n.jpg

    Urban Moving System's roof was ideally placed to see/record the impact of the first tower (WTC 1) from across the Hudson.
    http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=World+Trade+Center,+New+York,+NY,+United+States&daddr=3+W+18th+St,+Hoboken,+NJ+07086&hl=en&ll=40.739454,-74.014206&spn=0.064382,0.169086&sll=40.758895,-74.030342&sspn=0.032182,0.084543&geocode=FUg1bQIdwKmW-ynrSqmJGVrCiTGTW7M25GR7AA%3BFd7tbQIdy2KW-ylZkEA3flfCiTHAvem4vRUj0A&vpsrc=0&mra=ls&z=13

    So then why weren't they at their better vantage point to film both impacts?
    Didn't you claim that they didn't know which tower was going to be hit first or from what direction they would be hit in to explain why they moved the wrong direction to see the impact of the second plane?

    THEN
    and before WTC 2 was hit they moved to the carpark were they could see both towers
    So then you're claiming that they started watching the towers at 8 in the car park, then back to their office, then back to the car park?
    No, wrong.

    A strange thing to bring up.
    Why is it strange?
    You're the one using the fact that they moved in time to get a view of the second tower being hit (though from the wrong direction) as evidence that they must have known about the attacks.
    But there's thousands of people who saw both impacts and even caught them on video. How did these people just happen to be filming the towers from just the right side to see the second plane go in..?
    And what about WTC7? Why would people bother to film it 5 hours after the attacks if no one knew that it was going to fall?

    If we are to apply your logic, everyone who managed to catch the planes and collapses on film must have been as clued in as the dancing Israelis
    In an internal FBI report the team leader of the the FBI team investigating Urban Moving Systems calls it a possible fraudelent operation and it's not the conclusion of the FBI? Your in denial apparently.
    No, just correcting your misrepresentation.
    You claimed the FBI said that they were a possible front.
    But in reality only a field agent expressed that opinion.

    They way you're claiming it makes it sound like it was the actual conclusion of the investigation.
    No. I was quoting the FBI who said that in their report they found it "odd" that the "movers" didn't have everyday moving equipment in their moving van. I agree it's odd. Don't you?
    Odd maybe, but not evidence.
    Now why was their boss able to produce a work roster if they were a fraudulent operation?
    It was confirmed by Mark Perelman for The Jewish Daily Forward who investigated it.
    Source?
    Why do you keep stating the obvious?
    Because you keep twisting facts.
    It says at one point that tests were being carried out and that results were pending.

    Why are you asking me for? I had nothing to do with the report.
    So then no explosives were actually found in the van?
    What's the primary function of explosives?
    Exploding stuff?
    Are you saying that these guys were planting bombs at the world trade centre?

    You obviously didn't read it properly but I'll get back to that later in the post.

    I'm getting tired of this spoon feeding tbh, but here is your source - FBI Spokesman Jim Margolin.
    “Their explanation of why they were happy”, FBI spokesman Margolin told me, “was that the United States would now have to commit itself to fighting [Middle East] terrorism, that Americans would have an understanding and empathy for Israel’s circumstances, and that the attacks were ultimately a good thing for Israel”.
    http://www.christopherketcham.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/Final%20PDF%20of%20CounterPunch%20article%20re%20Israelis%2001-29-07.pdf
    This is supported by one of the movers statements in the FBI report:
    At this point BLANK apologised for appearing happy in the photographs. BLANK stated that Israel has been dealing with incidents like this for years. He believes that the US will take steps to stop terrorism in the world.

    Now I've more than cleared up what you wanted to clear so I'd appreciate if you'd keep your word and now address these earlier posed questions:


    "They were celebrating at the latest after the first tower was hit and before the second one was, when nobody else had known it was a terrorist attack.

    How did they a) know it was a terrorist attack before the US government and b) know it was Islamic terrorists?"

    MARC PERELMAN:
    Yes, we ended up writing a story in March of 2002, after several months of reporting, because when this incident happened, obviously, a lot of people were intrigued, including journalists. And so, everybody was trying to find more information about this. And I’ve been talking to sources and trying to find out a little bit more, and after a while, I was able to confirm that, according to the FBI, two of those movers were identified as Mossad agents. And they were interrogated about it.

    Why had they gone to the trouble of faking a random piece of paperwork, but then were either too lazy, too cheap or too stupid to buy other stuff to add to their cover?

    Because there's a difference between dogs reacting and there actually being explosives in the van.
    You can't honestly claim that as convincing or solid evidence.

    And again: did the dancing Israelis actually have recording equipment out before the impact of the first plane?

    Because they jumped the gun and made these assumptions before it was confirmed?
    And this is of course assuming that these statements were made before it was actually confirm and that they are just bull****ing to cover the fact they were just plain assholes rather than politically motivated ones.

    Well it's a ludicrous conclusion. These guys - who somehow knew that been pulled over by police regarding the attacks before the police said anything, "we are not you problem! The Palestinians are!", who for some reason lied to police regarding their whereabouts between 9 and 10 am on the morning of 9-11 -- these same guys, TRY TO IMPLICATE THEMSELVES TO 9-11 SO THEY WOULDN*T LOOK LIKE "PLAIN ASSHOLES"? That King Mob is a laughable assumption.

    Well it's a ludicrous conclusion.
    Why? The twin towers had been attacked before, it's not a wild stab in the dark to think that it was terrorism.
    Most news agencies reported that an attack might have been a possibility even before it was confirmed.
    These guys could have just assumed it rashly and behaved in appropriately.
    These guys - who somehow knew that been pulled over by police regarding the attacks before the police said anything, "we are not you problem! The Palestinians are!",
    And again this still gels with them just rashly assuming something before it was confirmed.

    But then he did mention it was Palestinians who were behind the attack... how did they know it was Palestinians before.... oh wait...

    And if no one had though that it was a terrorist attack before it was confirmed why were these guys picked up in the first place?
    who for some reason lied to police regarding their whereabouts between 9 and 10 am on the morning of 9-11 -- these same guys, TRY TO IMPLICATE THEMSELVES TO 9-11 SO THEY WOULDN*T LOOK LIKE "PLAIN ASSHOLES"? That King Mob is a laughable assumption.
    Now you're either misunderstand what I said or trying to avoid it.

    If they had just behave like that because that though the explosions were cool (like other immature, insensitive people might) they would look like pretty big assholes.
    So the explanation that they were excited because of the political change that might come about sounds less immature and idiotic, so later they offer this explanation.

    But of course that wasn't my actual point.

    So again, is it impossible that they just made the assumption it was a terrorist attack before it was actually confirmed?

    They are in the first group you mentioned, or at least should be

    "people who only heard about the first plane hitting the tower (and) presumed it was an accident"

    Yet they KNEW it was a terrorist attack...somehow.

    And remember we are talking about the time between the first tower being hit and the second only, which is the time they were "documenting" and "celebrating".

    Realistically we are talking about the first 2-3 minutes after the first plane hitting apx. Anything longer than that and the movers story falls to pieces as it would be impossible for them to make it from their office to the apartment building.

    Maybe you missed this part? The housewife in the NJ apartment complex who had seen them recording and celebrating the attacks on top of their van in apartment complexes multi-storey carpark only phoned the police with the van's registration number when her husband got back from work that afternoon. The BOLO (Be On The Lookout) for the van/passengers was only issued by the East Rutherford police at 3:30 that afternoon. i.e. long after the second plane hit and it was certainly a terrorist attack.

    Please, read the report. These are schoolboy errors.

    A search of UMS Weehawken, New Jersy, revealed more oddities which caused the search team leader to characterise the company as a possible "fraudulent operation." Little evidence of a legitimate business operations was found. Evidence recovery agents did seize, however, sixteen separate computer units used by UMS.

    "Little evidence of a legitimate business operation was found"


    This was the conclusion of the FBI search. Why won't you accept this? Because it doesn't fit with you "boys will be boys" theory?

    Nevermind that it's owner/President fled the country leaving his home and business behind and ended up on an FBI terrorist suspect list.

    "Little evidence of a legitimate business operation was found"

    That coupled with the fact that no moving equipment was found in the van the guys were arrested in gives a fairly straighforward conclusion.
    Oddly, equipment typically used in a moving company's daily duties was not found, including work gloves, blankets, straps, ropes, boxes, dollies, rollers, etc

    This is compounded by the what they actually did have on them,
    Seizure of the individuals' property yielded the following: a 35mm camera, several personal telephone-style notebooks, back packs, airline tickets with immediate travel dates for destinations world-wide, Israeli passports (in some case, expired), a German passport, USDollars 4,700 in cash belonging to BLANK and USDollars 1,022 in cash belonging to BLANK and Student identification cards later believed to be false were also found.

    There conclusion would not have been a logical one at the time. But You only have to look at threads here to see how people are convinced of ridiculous, far fetched explanations for many disasters.
    Many? No they didn't. I'd doubt if ANY did. Please show evidence of this.
    Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqLh_c0NL4
    At about 5:18 they mention the '93 attacks.
    At 7:05 they specifically mention it could be a terrorist act minutes before the second plane hits. And when it does, he mentions Osama. How did he know it was him before it was confirmed?
    Well yeah, but given the facts it's extremely unlikely.
    More unlikely that a vast conspiracy that they were stupid enough to blow open because they weren't able to sit still?
    NY and NJ have 16 million people between them yet you'd have me believe that the only people seen celebrating the attacks just happened to be working for the same small "company"? ;) It's completely ridiculous.
    This point might be valid if they were all caught celebrating separate from each other. And no I'm specifically not saying that they were the only ones acting like that.

    Please point out were I wasn't accepting this, I'm just pointing out how you are misreporting the fact.
    Something that could be thrown together in two minutes after they had been arrested. This is meaningless.
    So the FBI on the ground mentioned that the single piece of paperwork they were given was an obvious fake and actually stood out since there was no other evidence of a business?
    That is not a question I can answer. You'd have to ask them. The fact remains
    Funny how you can speculate about how they faked a work roster, but can't possibly think of I reason they couldn't blow 200 dollars on basic equipment to maintain their cover.
    That coupled with the fact that no moving equipment was found in the van the guys were arrested in gives a fairly straighforward conclusion.

    This is compounded by the what they actually did have on them,
    And they had all that, but nothing to help them keep their cover?
    Best agents ever.
    I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that the dogs reacting for explosives makes it a strong possibilty that there was in fact explosive material in the van at some point.
    But not strong enough to actually conclude there were explosives present.
    So really dogs reacting is about as much of an indicator as them searching someone.

    And then there's the fact that explosives being in the van doesn't make sense with your explanation for what they were doing.
    Possibly. It is undetermined.
    Funny, given the entire case for them having foreknowledge hinges on that.

    It not being a logical conclusion for them to make does not mean they did not or could not leap to that conclusion.
    Ah ffs...That pilot FOX are interviewing "doesn't think it's a terrorist attack at all". What happens once the second plane hits is irrelevant as it changes everything instantly.
    But he still brings it up as a possibility, you know an example the exact thing you asked me for.
    So how why did he think it might have been a terrorist attack when no one else could have possibly thought it was?
    How about the news reader who suggests it was Osama? How did he know he was involved before it was confirmed?
    Humans being human ya mean?
    And yet you can't imagine why people might make rapid conclusions or act like assholes....
    I suppose it's only a valid explanation when you want it to be...
    Your being sneaky with your language btw. A surveillance operation is not a "vast conspiracy"
    No, but your OP posits it, several of your points need it to be relevant and you clearly believe it.
    Well then show examples of these "others" otherwise drop it.
    Well if you think that no one cheers and jumps around at a disaster, you're oddly contradictory on you view of human nature...

    And again, this explanation was given after it was confirmed to be an attack, so it could have been a bull**** answer to cover themselves for being just assholes and cheering at cool looking explosions.
    And if this was the actual explanation, then they could have easily just leaped to the conclusion that it was a terrorist attack before it was confirmed.

    And can you please back up your claim that they were doing this before the first plane hit.

    And then perhaps explain why they did give this explanation when you think it implicates them in the terrorist plot.

    Oh and maybe since you think that they both had foreknowledge and were willing to announce that fact, why did they say: "we are not your problem! The Palestinians are!" when it wasn't Palestinians?
    In that case please stop squabbling over petty, irrelevant points. Are we agreed that if the Team Leader of the FBI search says UMS was a possible "fraudelent operation" then UMS is/was a possible "fraudelent operation"?
    But you keep twisting the facts and misrepresenting things, the above being a prime example.

    Honestly this is the single most absurd thing I've ever heard you say.

    To clarify, your best explanation as to why a group of people seen filming and celebrating the 9/11 attacks would tell their FBI interrogators that they were filming a terrorist attack on US soil before even the US President knew it was a terrorist attack and thereby implicating themselves further in the crime itself is that they were trying to "cover themselves for being just assholes"?

    It reminds of the oft used alibi of the married man caught with a prostitute: "It's okay officer, I wasn't going to pay her for sex; I was going to strangle here to death and dump here body".

    Because they were under interrogation by FBI experts. Who's goal is to get answers from people who don't want to give them.

    Hence other people knew it was a possibility and reported it as such.

    But it is relevant. The news reader is saying that Osama Bin Laden might be the culprit, how did he know that before it was actually offically confirmed to be an attack?

    Could it have been a case of him leaping to a conclusion?

    Well no it's not my best explanation, I've specifically said several times it was a side point.
    Furthermore your characterisation is a strawman based on the assumption that the knew in advance the attacks would happen and based on a twisting of their words.

    Every person who picked up a camera when the first plane hit was "filming a terrorist attack on US soil before even the US President knew it was a terrorist attack".
    Hell there was even people with cameras out and filming before the plane hit, something you can't say for the Dancing Israelis.
    Because they were under interrogation by FBI experts. Who's goal is to get answers from people who don't want to give them.
    So not only did they no have basic surveillance skills, they also didn't know how to resist light interrogation...
    The Mossad must have lowered their standards lately.

    So then I assume that the FBI reacted accordingly to this statement that proves their guilt right?

    And again, why did they say: "we are not your problem! The Palestinians are!" when it wasn't Palestinians?

    Or more to the point, were told to lower their standards.

    Do you think if they were Muslims, that they would have been released like that?

    Ha. No chance. They'd be rotting in Guantanamo to this day..

    The reason that this story gets so much play on "alternative" sites is because of an underlying vein of profitable anti-Semitism in their main demographic.

    Had these guys been Muslim and the same level evidence was aimed at them, I'm confident it would be a conspiracy to falsely frame Muslims with spurious evidence.

    Yeah a really bad one that has no relevance to what we are discussing as neither of them actually thought that it was a terrorist attack. For your point to have any relevance you need to supply someone on record giving a very high degree of probablility that it was a terrorist attack as the dancing Israelis evidently were sure that it was a terrorist attack.

    Let's say 80% of penalties are converted. If a football team gave away a penalty and the manager of the team that had given away the penalty started hopping up and down with his arms in the air celebrating and posing for the press cameras because he was 100% sure the opposing team would miss the penalty before the taker had even placed the ball on the spot I suppose you would put it down to "people do strange things sometimes..."

    Now what if unbeknownst to you the fix was in? The coach had secretly met with the referee, goalkeeper and penalty taker and it had been rehearsed that the penalty would be given by the corrupt official and scuffed into the right hand bottom corner and saved by the goalkeeper. All would be recieve financial reward especially the manager through his betting scam. You would still put it down to "people do strange things sometimes..."

    Apples and oranges. Unless you can provide, which you haven't done so far anyone who in their own words was recording a terrorist attack, nevermind celebrating it.

    You make light of this but it's such a shame the dancing Israelis and their incredible foresight weren't put to use in the North Tower as it would've saved countless lives. WTC security was making people return to their desks in the tower as it was an accident that was under control.

    Not not lately. This is from the early 70's for example.
    In 1973, the Mossad believed it had tracked its man to a tranquil Norwegian town called Lillehammer. One evening, the Mossad watched him board a bus with a pregnant Norwegian woman. As they got off at this bus stop, two Israeli agents jumped out of a car and fired 14 bullets. The Red Prince was dead. Munich had been avenged. But there would be no getaway this time. Norwegian police noted the license plate of the hit team's car, traced it to this safe house in Oslo and arrested six Israeli agents. And not only were members of the hit team behind bars, they had killed the wrong man.

    The Israelis had killed a Moroccan waiter, Ahmed Bouchiki. He and his wife were expecting their first child in two months.
    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/11/20/60II/main318655.shtml

    Obviously no Mossad agent would ever travel in a vehicle with traceable plates or kill a completely wrong target....oh...wait...

    You seem to be giving thesehumans superhuman abilities through their membership of an organisation which is ludicirous.

    In any case your comment just further again expose your ignorance. What you call "light interrogation" the Israelis claimed was torture and filed a lawsuit in the US against the FBI.

    Because plane crashing into a tall building has never before been a suicide terrorist attack in the history of the world. These Israelis were all convinced to a man immediately that plane crashing into a tall building was a terrorist attack when nobody else did.

    You said "many" news outlets speculated that it might be a terrorist attack. You provided a single interview where both interviewer and interviewee both concluded that it is unlikely that it is a terrorist attack.

    This doesn't support what you are saying, or at least what is relevant insofar as what we should be discussing. The Israelis were CERTAIN, that it was a terrorist attack as their own actions and statements confirms. You need to show examples of others who were equally convinced that it was a terrorist attack between the first and second plane hitting. You simply won't be able to do this because it is such an unlikely conclusion to reach.
    King Mob wrote: »

    This is really simple. The WTC bombing is part of the history of the Twin Towers. Why wouldn't they mention it when reporting on another tragedy on the same structure?

    King Mob wrote: »
    So he made a hasty conclusion not based on much or any evidence?
    No. Not a conclusion. He speculated. Again, this is only after the situation has changed with the second tower being hit and it was apparent it was a terrorist attack and is therefore irrelevant to what we are discussing.

    1-I'm not trying to prove they are guilty.
    2-Show me evidence of people moving from a good vantage point to see the first tower being hit but with an obstructed view of the second tower to be hit in the time between both attacks to get a view of both towers for no apparent reason.
    3-Are you now saying that statements made by suspects under FBI

    The FBI report is now the voice of the FBI now again? i.e. when it suits you?

    I would hope that they concluded that it could mean that they were involved as it's the logical conclusion. It is however heavily redacted so we can't say for sure.

    I've just explained this to you. For some Israelis, especially the kind that were arrested, Ex--IDF, one was even a professional Arab hunter use Palestinian and terrorist interchangeably.

    The question you should be asking yourself is why they brought up they issue of terrorism with police officers before they should have known what they were stopped by police for.

    I'm just going to focus on this point since it really undermines your position.

    Why since they knew that it wasn't Palestinians or at least couldn't have known who it was, why did they claim it was?

    I'd really love to know why the US Government expelled a number of Israeli Diplomats in the days immediately after 9/11.

    Because Muslims/Arabs/terrorists/Palestinians can be used interchangeably by people who don't like same.

    The far more important question is why the Israelis made such a strange statement to the arresting officers unquestioned. Why also did they lie again without prompt to the arresting officers about their wherabouts at the time of the attacks before they even knew what they'd been arrested for?
