| Dick Cheney watching the 9/11 attacks |
Suspicions are growing stronger that Saudi Arabia, or at least some people in elite circles in Saudi Arabia, aided and abetted the al-Qaeda terrorists who attacked the American mainland on 9/11 2001. But why would Saudis do such a thing?
Now, it´s certainly true that Saudi Arabia isn´t a *pure* client state to the United States. The relations between the US and Saudi have been pretty complex for a long time. One example is the 1973 oil crisis. Another is the Saudi support to (or creation of) IS, ISIL or ISIS in Iraq, who attacked Americans and prolonged the Iraqi War. Still another is the Saudi opposition to Israel. But when the chips are down, Saudi Arabia is obviously dependent on US military and political support for its base survival. This was most obvious during the Gulf War. Without strong US military defenses "on the ground", Saudi Arabia would probably have been invaded and partitioned between Iraq and Iran long ago!
Presumably, Saudi elites know this. So why would some of them support a massive terrorist attack against New York City and Washington DC?
There is one possible explanation, but it´s not one likely to be met with cheers from any establishment faction in the US.
It´s a deep state conspiracy, stupid.
Maybe the US deep state and the Saudi ditto planned 9/11 in advance, or something just like it? *Then* there would suddenly be a reason for Saudi Arabian circles to support the operation. It was a large scale provocation, the purpose of which was to give the US an excuse to attack Iraq, and topple everybody else´s geopolitical applecarts. And Saddam Hussein´s regime in Iraq was an enemy of Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaeda were the patsies and fall guys of the operation.
When Iraq descended into chaos instead of becoming an American Protektorat, Saudi Arabia changed tack and started to support ISIS against the Shia Muslim/Iranian influence, the Americans being caught in the middle. Even later, US pressure forced the Saudis to back down, leading to their split with Qatar. In return, they got lucrative arms deals and (I suppose) a continued black out of the FBI report on Saudi involvement in 9/11 (please insert the name "Donald Trump" here, and also the cryptic sentence "Steve Bannon´s sword dance in Riyadh"). I assume Joe Biden´s decision to declassify parts of the secret report is some kind of warning to the Saudis not to rock boat?
The cynicism of all these people is simply breathtaking.

They are all in on it
