Trump admin declassifies 9/11 files showing Clinton received ‘explosive-packed airplane’ attack warning in September 1998

Trump links Iran war to 9/11 in Pentagon anniversary speech: ‘That’s why we fight today’

WASHINGTON — Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were warned repeatedly that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was scheming to attack the US using hijacked passenger jets — but still failed to stop the 9/11 attacks, according to a devastating cache of files released by the Trump administration Friday.

The formerly classified documents, some of which were previously described in press reports, buttress post-attack assessments that Washington did too little to counteract bin Laden’s Islamist terror band, leading to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.

The documents claimed Al Qaeda members were present in the US and had even performed a “trial run” at a New York airport nearly three full years before the staggering assault that took down the Twin Towers.

“Bin Laden [sic] Preparing To Hijack US Aircraft,” a Dec. 4, 1998, document prepared for Clinton’s Presidential Daily Brief ominously warned.

“Some members of the Bin Laden network have received hijack training, according to various sources,” the document said. “Bin Laden could be weighing other types of operations against US aircraft.”


The document added that a source had revealed that “Bin Laden might implement plans to hijack a US aircraft before the beginning of Ramadan on 20 December and that two members of the operational team had evaded security checks during a recent trial run at an unidentified New York airport.”

Reports in US media suggest that America's top spy, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, made a rare, unannounced trip to Moscow on Tuesday. Neither the CIA nor the Kremlin has commented on the reports. If confirmed, it would be Ratcliffe's first known visit to Russia since becoming CIA Director, and the highest-level intelligence trip between the two countries since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. So what could be behind this mysterious mission? DW speaks to Russia analyst Angela Stent to explore the possible reasons for the trip.


CIA Director John Ratcliffe on secret trip in Russia

Updated on: August 25, 2026 / 11:08 AM EDT / CBS News


CIA Director John Ratcliffe is in Moscow, Russia, for meetings, sources familiar with the situation told CBS News on Tuesday.

News of his trip comes after a U.S. Air Force Boeing C-17A Globemaster III transport plane was spotted at a Moscow airport, along with a U.S. diplomatic motorcade. Neither the U.S. nor Russian governments has commented on the identity of the U.S. official in Russia or the purpose of the visit.

The CIA did not immediately comment.

It appears to be Ratcliffe's first known trip to Russia as CIA director, though he has maintained contact with Russian intelligence counterparts.

The CIA has also played a role in recent U.S.-Russia detainee exchanges, including the April 2025 release of a U.S.-Russian dual national Ksenia Karelina, whose case Ratcliffe personally negotiated. The agency was also involved in the 2024 prisoner exchange that secured the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and Marine veteran Paul Whelan.

Former CIA Director William Burns traveled to Moscow in November 2021, when he met with senior Russian officials and spoke directly with President Vladimir Putin to warn him against invading Ukraine.

Ratcliffe's visit comes as U.S.-mediated peace talks with Ukraine remain mostly stalled, with the sides still far apart on core issues.

¡Agente Doble!


PATRICK SAYS THERE ARE SEVERAL CUBAN DOUBLE AGENTS IN THE US GOVERNMENT WHO ACT LIKE STAUNCH REPUBLICANS BUT WHO CALL THE UNITED STATES THE "ENEMY" WHEN THEY DON'T THINK THEY'RE BEING RECORDED

On Monday afternoon, Patrick Byrne livestreamed an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on his Locals channel, which is behind a $5/mo membership paywall.

AzPinkLady on X.com took the liberty of tweeting-out this 1-minute clip from Patrick’s livestream, where he gives some insight as to how the CIA interfaced with Venezuela to cheat the elections – namely, through a man named Frank Holder.

Frank Holder is a former US Air Force Intelligence Officer (OSI) and the CEO of Holder Partners, LLC, a private company that conducts corporate and financial investigations in Latin America.

Patrick claims that he’s a “CIA double agent” who’s been a Cuban asset since 1980, and that “When the CIA needed to hack 2020, they used him as the go-between to Venezuela and set it up.”

Patrick says that there are several Cuban double agents in and around the US Government, who act like staunch Republicans but who are actually billionaires, like Frank Holder from doing business with Venezuela’s Chavista regime and with the Cubans, as he told Emerald Robinson on The Absolute Truth podcast last April.

One of these Cuban double agents, Manuel Rocha got caught in late 2023. In a video recorded by an undercover agent, Rocha praised Fidel Castro, called the United States the "enemy" and boasted about spying for over 40 years, while working at the State Department.

According to the criminal complaint, Rocha said that he was instructed by Cuba to "lead a normal life", and he created a fictitious persona of a "right-wing person". Rocha's $750 campaign donation to Republican Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar was returned after his arrest.

Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia

Authored by Paul L. Williams

Narrated by Michael Prichard


BOOK DESCRIPTION

In this disturbing expose, journalist Paul L. Williams describes a secret alliance forged at the close of World War II by the CIA, the Sicilian and U.S. mafias, and the Vatican to thwart the possibility of a Communist invasion of Europe. Williams presents evidence suggesting the existence, in many European countries, of "stay-behind" units consisting of five thousand to fifteen thousand military operatives. The initial funding for these guerrilla armies came from bogus British bank notes and the sale of large stocks of SS morphine that had been smuggled out of Germany and Italy. As the Cold War intensified, the units were used not only to ward off possible invaders but also to thwart the rise of left-wing movements in South America and NATO-based countries by terror attacks. Williams argues that Operation Gladio soon gave rise to the toppling of governments, wholesale genocide, the formation of death squads, financial scandals on a grand scale, the creation of the mujahideen, an international narcotics network, and, most recently, the ascendancy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a Jesuit cleric with strong ties to Operation Condor (an outgrowth of Gladio in Argentina) as Pope Francis I.

CIA Chief Spotted In Cuba As Specter Of Regime Change Looms Large

As the specter of the U.S.-led regime change grows, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released photos of agency chief John Ratcliffe meeting with Cuban officials in Havana on Thursday.

Ratcliffe and several U.S. officials—some of whose faces were blurred by the CIA in images posted to X—held talks Thursday with Cuba’s Interior Minister, the head of Cuban intelligence and Raúl Castro’s grandson, Raulito Rodríguez Castro. A CIA official told The Associated Press that the director was there “to personally deliver President Donald Trump’s message that the United States is prepared to seriously engage on economic and security issues, but only if Cuba makes fundamental changes.” 

The threat of regime change in Cuba has grown in recent weeks. President Donald Trump has repeatedly mused about taking over Cuba and suggested May 8 that a U.S. aircraft might leave the Iran War theater and position itself off the country’s coast. The administration has also intensified its economic war, blocking oil shipments since January. Amid energy blackouts, a collapsing economy and protests in the capital, Cuba’s oil and gas supplies have now run dry, according to Cuban Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy.

Shadow Empires: The Secret Ties Between the CIA, ISIS, and the Vatican

Unveiling the Hidden Forces That Shape Our World

In a world where power is wielded in the shadows, Shadow Empires pulls back the curtain on the clandestine alliances that have shaped our modern era. This gripping exposé reveals the shocking connections between three of the most powerful entities in history: the CIA, ISIS, and the Vatican. From covert operations and religious diplomacy to the rise of global terror networks, this book uncovers the hidden forces that have redefined the balance of power-and continue to influence the world today.

Delve into the CIA's secret missions, the ideological roots of ISIS, and the Vatican's enduring role in global politics. Explore how intelligence agencies have collaborated with religious institutions, how terror networks have been weaponized for political ends, and how economic control has been used as a tool of dominance. With meticulously researched case studies-including Operation Gladio, the rise of Al-Qaeda, and the Vatican's involvement in post-WWII geopolitics-Shadow Empires connects the dots between historical events and modern-day conflicts.

But this is more than a history lesson; it's a journey into the heart of darkness, where religion, politics, and intelligence collide.How do media and propaganda shape our understanding of these entities?What role do biblical prophecies and religious undertones play in the strategies of power?What are the ethical implications of these hidden alliances?

Provocative, thought-provoking, and meticulously documented, Shadow Empires challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about the forces that govern our world. It's a call to question the narratives we've been fed, to seek transparency in global politics, and to understand the stakes of this unseen battle for control.

For those who dare to look beyond the surface, this book is an essential guide to understanding the hidden forces shaping our world. Are you ready to unmask the truth?

Vatican Espionage:The Holy Alliance of Spies


By SPYSCAPE

‍Even today, the CIA is referred to as the ‘Catholic Intelligence Agency’ while the Vatican’s ties to espionage date back more than five centuries.

With the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, Washington and Vatican City quietly made strategic contact - so too did CIA Director William Casey and special envoy Monsignor Luigi Poggi, otherwise known as the ‘Pope’s Spy’.

By the time Reagan and Pope John Paul II met face-to-face in the Vatican Library in 1982, they were ready to discuss a joint, clandestine campaign centered on Poland and designed to thwart communism and the Soviet Union. "This was one of the great secret alliances of all time," Richard Allen, Reagan's first National Security Adviser, later recalled.

Meanwhile, in the same wing of the papal apartments that day, US Secretary of State Alexander Haig and Reagan’s National Security Adviser focused on Israel’s invasion of Lebanon with their counterparts Agostino Cardinal Casaroli and Archbishop Achille Silvestrini. Unsurprisingly, many of the US players were Catholics - Haig, Casey, and US National Security Adviser William P. Clark Jr. among them.

“They regarded the US-Vatican relationship as a holy alliance: the moral force of the Pope and the teachings of their church combined with their fierce anti-communism and their notion of American democracy,” Carl Bernstein wrote in an article for Time magazine.

The religious approach to intelligence initiated by OSS pioneers Edward Lansdale and spymaster ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan in the 1940s established CIA methods and understanding of the world in the early days of the spy agencies, author Michael Graziano argues. The CIA is still referred to as ‘Catholics In Action’ and the ‘Catholic Intelligence Agency’.
