Al Qaidah

Al Qaidah is a town in Yemen named after a military base established there by Saladin's brother in 1174. It's in Ibb governorate in the central highlands, a very strategic location controlling access to the mountain passes. Ibb governorate is also the home of Osama bin Laden's mentor, Sheikh Abdul-Majeed al-Zindani, and his fifth wife Amal al-Sadah (married in 2000). Those links between Al Qaidah and OBL are not a coincidence, or the only connection. One third of the Arab Mujahideen who fought the Soviets in Afghanistan were Yemeni, assisted by Yemeni General Ali Mohsen - an ally and friend of OBL in the 1980s. General Mohsen visited OBL in Afghanistan and I believe helped him demobilize those Arab Mujahideen. It is widely reported that OBL gave Mohsen $20-million for that specific task and I have very strong first hand evidence that some of those Mujahideen were given sanctuary in a beautiful valley one mile southeast of Al Qaidah town.

My evidence is from 26 September 1997, on the last day of a business trip to Taiz city and while being driven to Sanaa for my return flight. Twenty minutes into the journey the customer’s general manager Mohamed announced, “I’m taking you to a meeting”. I protested vehemently, saying any further delay would mean me missing my flight, but Mohamed dismissed my concern by saying, “The plane will wait for you”. A minute later Mohamed turned right off the main road and into a narrow gap between some buildings. We emerged on a dust track with cliffs to our left and open fields to our right. After five minutes driving we arrived at a collection of buildings in the aforementioned valley, as shown in the adjacent image and the video below that also frames the reason for our detour - this was my recruitment interview with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's terrorist cell - and its outcome.

Why would the Deep State (Western Intelligence agencies) invent a terrorist group and use a misspelling of Al Qaidah? As stated above, my theory is they were trying to frame Osama bin Laden for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s Wahhabi funded terrorist spree, and introducing the name ‘Al Kaida’ would unnerve, implicate and to a degree control OBL. But why would those Intel agencies also want to protect KSM, who they knew had supported the 1993 WTC bombers from Qatar? KSM’s boss was not OBL – it was a Wahhabi Arab funded Afghan professor called Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, The Professor. At the end of the Afghan Jihad there’d been a falling out between the foreign Mujahideen based in Peshawar Pakistan – it’s mentioned several times in the notes taken at the August 1988 meeting chaired by OBL in Peshawar. That falling out was why OBL left Afghanistan very soon after the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, even taking all his heavy construction machinery with him. OBL’s Jihad was over but KSM’s was just beginning; he’d only just arrived in fact (as detailed in the quotes from the 2004 9/11 Commission report pictured right), having been a student in the USA till 1986.

The fact that KSM's boss Abdul Rasul Sayyaf was put on the CIA payroll by Gary Schroen in October 2001 and remains a US and NATO ally to this day illustrates perfectly why they framed OBL for KSM's terror spree - they wanted it to happen! OBL had become a threat to the Arab monarchies after shaming them with his offer to expell Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1990. Instead those monarchs invited the American and British militaries to liberate Kuwait, and Saudi expelled OBL in 1991. But even from exile in Sudan OBL tried to counter the disinformation being spread about him with his first Western media interview in December 1993, when he stressed he was 'building roads to peace' in Sudan. He did start issuing threats against Saudi in August 1995, but that was only after Saudi had revoked his citizenship, frozen his assets and there had been at least three assassination attempts against him. It appears to me OBL was driven to join a terrorist campaign that was already well underway under Abdul Rasul Sayyaf’s direction.

CIA contractor Billy Waugh made no secret he worked with Al Qaeda operators in 1990s Yemen - he detailed how they were intent on striking the USA in his 2004 autobiography (quoted right). That likely happened during the 1994 Yemen civil war, inbetween his extensive surveylence of OBL in Sudan cuducted around the same time. And I can link Waugh's activities to my 1997 visit to Yemen. The machine I was installing had been purchased at an industry exhibition in Chicago, a sale setup by our US sales agent David Dean. I can link Waugh and Dean through their Vietnam service. That link may sound wild and speculative until you know this - Dean committed suicide on 8 January 2020, very soon after I'd made these allegations publicly. After finding information linking their Vietnam service in December 2019 I began tweeting about it, identifying but not naming Dean. On the 6 January I tweeted 'More info on the US sales agent who I believe was a CIA contractor (same career history as Billy Waugh) coming soon'. Two days later Dean hired a boat on Lake Hartwell, Georgia and motored out for ten minutes before jumping into the icy cold water, likely holding the boat's anchor. His body was recovered two days later, on the 10th.

My Discovery of Al Qaidah Town and an Invitation to Interview by the US Pentagon

In 2013 Johanna Hortolani of the Reprieve UK human rights NGO published a report that asserts there’s no link between Al Qaeda and Al Qaidah. She doesn’t say how or who made that assertion, just that Emad Hassan (the Yemeni Guantanamo detainee Reprieve UK were representing) had been detained because he told interrogators that he knew about Al Qaidah, suggesting the interrogators were too thick to differentiate between a terrorist group and a supposedly unrelated town of the same name. Reprieve Uk repeated the claim of a ‘translation error’ when Emad Hassan was released in 2015 but when I brought the Truth about Al Qaidah to their attention in 2019, they deleted that report and then republished it omitting the assertion that Al Qaeda and Al Qaidah are unrelated. Johanna Hortolani’s 2013 report is still available to read here. US attorney Alka Pradhan was one of Johanna Hortolani’s co-workers in 2013, representing Emad Hassan for Reprieve UK. The significant of that will become apparent shortly, but for now please note that Alka Pradhan has been a US Department of Defense attorney since 2015, defending KSM’s nephew Ammar al-Baluchi. Johanna Hortolani’s original 2013 claim (I can’t find any previous reference to Emad Hassan and Al Qaidah town, but would be happy to be corrected) was repeated in 2014 by the Morning Star Online, who interestingly used both Hortolani’s misspelling and the correct spelling (with an apostrophe) of the town’s name:

Since May 2015, when I found my old photos from Yemen and identified the man introduced to me as the Engineer as KSM, I’ve been on the most incredible journey of discovery (including my 2019 realization about JM Heaford Ltd being a Deep State front that led to David Dean’s suicide). A highlight on that journey came on 1 November 2017 when I found my 1997 meeting place on google maps and zoomed out to see Al Qaidah town one mile away. I immediately reported it to SO15 but once again they showed no interest whatsoever. I repeated and reported my discovery publicly and although there was next to no reaction it does appear someone noticed. On 19 December 2017 the New York Times published an interview with former Reprieve UK employee and now US Department of Defense (DoD) attorney Alka Pradhan, brazenly titled “Alka Pradhan v. Gitmo” and doubling down on Hortolani’s original claim of there being no link between Al Qaeda and Al Qaidah. And then three months later, in a twist that could have come from a spy film, the Guantanamo defense team that Pradhan was working for contacted me, saying they were “very interested in your insight and knowledge regarding the subject matter you have researched”. The US Pentagon based military investigator who contacted me (initially via facebook!), suggesting sending a team of DoD investigators to Manchester to interview me over a four-day period, could only have done so with the express permission of three entities. They were the US 9/11 trial judge (Colonel James Pohl), the 9/11 prosecution team, and most importantly British security services. My first reaction was to call SO15 again, to tell them a foreign government was sending investigators to question me about my claims that they’d been ignoring since January 2009. SO15’s reply was just three words long, “Not our problem”, before they hung up on me. Despite my not telling SO15 exactly who had contacted me, or telling my US Pentagon liaison I'd contacted them, when my liaison next emailed me she referenced my conversation with SO15. This is no longer a twist that could have come from a spy film – this is a real-life spy story, mine. And there's another twist, or maybe just a coincidence: Amy Zittritsch, my Pentagon liaison, was a CSRA contractor. CSRA is a subsiduary of General Dynamics whose other subsiduary, the British army Foxhound vehicle manufacturer, I reported on their £400-million procurement corruption in 2017! The Foxhound was signed in to service during my 2012 Helmand tour despite the fact it had failed hot weather trials - the desert patrol vehicle breaksdown in hot weather! It might be funny if that procurement corruption hadn't cost both British soldiers and two American Marines their lives.

After initially accepting the US DoD’s invitation to interview I declined their offer after they refused to discuss my witness status. But the real reason was the patronizing tone of my Pentagon liaison and my realization that their intention was to either cancel at the last moment or use the interview to discredit my research and assertions. I suspect that that contact was prompted by my meeting with Sir Graham Brady one year before, when I submitted a dossier of my experiences in 1997 Yemen that Brady then forwarded to the US embassy’s political officer (spook), Thomas Williams. My real-life ‘spy story’ is one of being ignored, maligned and attacked by those determined to hide the Truth about 9/11, perhaps the most critical element of which is that I gave my first 9/11 warning to a customer in Toronto on 12 June 1997, just three months before JM Heaford Ltd sent me to spend a week inside Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s front company.
