The 9-11 Dancing Middle Easterners and their vans

Brown Bomber

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"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKbTFw9fs7w

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.

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?

King Mob wrote: »

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.

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?

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,?

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?

I've just opened the first link. This is the first line.

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

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?

King Mob wrote: »

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.

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

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?

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?

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

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?

But in reality only a field agent expressed that opinion.

Nope, a team leader of the unit investigating Urban Moving Systems concluded that they are a possible fraudelent operation. This is significant. Do you deny this? Have you any counter-evidence?

King Mob wrote: »

Why are you asking me this? I've already told you that the results were pending according to the FBI report. There is no further information. There may have been trace elements of explosives found, we don't know.

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.

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?"

This is actually funny...The "source" you require is the one you have just commented on - The "clearly biased site" :pac:

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.

And again, why was the boss able to produce a work roster?
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?

Brown Bomber wrote: »

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?

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.

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.

Brown Bomber wrote: »

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?

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?

The claim was made that Mark Perelman was a "biased (against Israel) reporter". If that was the case no respectable news outlet would hire him. It's total nonsense of the kind you need to resort to when defending a nonsensical position. A respected journalist working for a respected journal becomes a "biased reporter" when he doesn't report what you want. T'riffic.

And here is someone else who hasn't read the FBI report. Their claim is that they didn't witness the first impact so your claim is irrelevant.

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.

With a car bomb. We are talking about a plane crashing into a high building, A very plausible accident. Something with a precedent.

Of course it's a wild stab in the dark to think that a hijacked passenger jet crashing into a building is suicide terrorist attack because it's never happened before in the history of the world before or since. And it's not even the case for the movers that they suspected it might be a terrorist attack - They were completely sure as their behaviour and statements attests to, ALL FIVE OF THEM.

King Mob wrote: »

Many? No they didn't. I'd doubt if ANY did. Please show evidence of this.

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.

King Mob wrote: »

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.

Riggggggggghhhhht......

It's logical that anyone when under interrogation by the FBI counter-terrorism division who wasn't involved in a terrorist attack would intentionally try to implicate themselves in a the terrorist attack they were being interrogated over so they wouldn't look "immature". Thanks for the laugh ...;)

King Mob wrote: »

Yes. I also understand that the difference is irrelevant. The FBI search team leader, who we must assume by his position is an experienced, competent and qualified investigator considered it to be a possible "fraudelent operation".

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.

King Mob wrote: »

Something that could be thrown together in two minutes after they had been arrested. This is meaningless.

King Mob wrote: »

That is not a question I can answer. You'd have to ask them. The fact remains

"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.

At about 5:18 they mention the '93 attacks.
