Since when is the US Military Israel's mercenary?

Mercenaries at least get SOMETHING in return. ;p

911 Pre-Attack Warnings
People Who Avoided the Airlines And The Twin Towers

Much has been reported about how warnings of attacks by Muslim extremists in the year leading up to 9/11/01 were ignored. So far no official has been fired or otherwise punished for his or her failure to act on such information.

What is more informative than who failed to act on a tip, is who acted on a tip. A number of people apparently knew to stay clear of the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.

Government Officials and Business Leaders

There is evidence that a group of Pentagon officials was warned to avoid the attack targets. Newsweek reported: http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html#ref1#ref1 1

Three weeks ago there was another warning that a terrorist strike might be imminent - On September 10, Newsweek has learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns.

A number of business leaders who would normally have been in the World Trade Center, were instead at a meeting hosted by Warren Buffett on September 11th at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska. That group included Anne Tatlock, CEO of Fiduciary Trust Inc., a company that occupied five floors on or above the 90th floor of the http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/attack/wtc2.html South Tower. http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html#ref2#ref2 2 (This is the same Air Force Base that George W. Bush would fly to later that day. It has an underground command center.) http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html#ref3#ref3 3

San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown admitted to having received a warning from what he described as his airport security late Monday evening, just hours before the attack. http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html#ref4#ref4 4

Salman Rushdie, who is under the continuous protection of Scotland Yard, was prevented from flying on September 11th, 2001. Ariel Sharon, who was scheduled to give an address to Israeli support groups in New York City on September 11th, cancelled his plans the day before.

On 9/11/01, Jim Pierce, cousin of President Bush, was scheduled to attend a conference on the 105th floor of the South Tower, where his company's New York offices were based. But the conference was moved across the street to the Millennium Hotel, because, the story goes, the groop was too large.

Privileged Companies

Another group of people that received warnings in advance of the attack were employees of Odigo, the instant messaging service. Two employees received e-mail messages two hours before the first World Trade Center assault, predicting the attack. http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html#ref6#ref6 6

According to reporter Christopher Bollyn, Zim American Israeli Shipping Co. broke a lease in order to vacate the World Trade Center just days before the attack. Bollyn's source claims that Zim's lease extended through the end of the year and that the termination cost $50,000. http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html#ref7#ref7 7

The company heading a consortium that had just obtained a 99-year lease on the World Trade Center was supposedly spared by a last-minute cancellation. According to the New York Times, Silverstein Properties had planned to meet on 9/11/01 on the 88th floor of one of the towers to "discuss what to do in the event of a terrorist attack," but cancelled the meeting Monday night "because one participant could not attend." http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/warnings.html#ref8#ref8 8

Question #10 - Who sent the warning message to the Odigo employees?

Odigo, an Israeli/American instant messaging service company, http://www.fpp.co.uk/online/01/11/WTC_OdigoWarning2.html
reported that two of its workers received warning messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on September 11 which predicted the attack would happen. http://boards.historychannel.com/threadedout.jsp?forum=160&thread=116555
The company cooperated with Israeli and American law enforcement, including the FBI, in trying to determine the origin of the message predicting the attack.

Micha Macover, CEO of the company, said the two workers received the messages and immediately after the terror attack informed the company's management, which immediately contacted the Israeli security services, which brought in the FBI.

Odigo says workers were warned of attack
By Yuval Dror

Odigo, the instant messaging service, says that two of its workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen, and the company has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement, including the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message predicting the attack.

Micha Macover, CEO of the company, said the two workers received the messages and immediately after the terror attack informed the company's management, which immediately contacted the Israeli security services, which brought in the FBI.

"I have no idea why the message was sent to these two workers, who don't know the sender.

It may just have been someone who was joking and turned out they accidentally got it right.

And I don't know if our information was useful in any of the arrests the FBI has made," said Macover.

Odigo is a U.S.-based company whose headquarters are in New York, with offices in Herzliya.

As an instant messaging service, Odigo users are not limited to sending messages only to people on their "buddy" list, as is the case with ICQ, the other well-known Israeli instant messaging application.

Odigo usually zealously protects the privacy of its registered users, said Macover, but in this case the company took the initiative to provide the law enforcement services with the originating Internet Presence address of the message, so the FBI could track down the Internet Service Provider, and the actual sender of the original

Odigo Clarifies Attack Messages
By Brian McWilliams, Newsbytes.

AN official at Odigo today made a more substantial comment on warnings the instant messaging firm received prior to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The company's vice president of sales and marketing acknowledged that messages warning of attacks were received but would not comment on the contents of the messages.

He had replied to a question about whether he could confirm that Odigo had received messages warning about the World Trade Center attacks.

A sender in the alt.politics.bush newsgroup had written on Tuesday that Odigo workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on Sept. 11 predicting the attack would happen.

The incident was also the subject of a report in the Ha'aretz daily newspaper in Israel, which on Wednesday [September 26, 2001; above] quoted Odigo CEO Micha Macover as saying that "two workers received the messages predicting the attack would happen." Odigo Vice President of Sales and Marketing Alex Diamandis told Newsbytes Thursday that he could not comment on the text or origin of the message, but said that the sender of the instant message was not personally known to the Odigo employees.

Even though the company usually protects the privacy of users, Odigo recorded the Internet protocol address of the message's sender to facilitate his or her identification, he said.

The Odigo workers, based in the company's research and development and international sales office in Israel, were signed on to the same Odigo messaging server used by worldwide users of the company's free, Odigo-branded messaging software, Diamandis said today.

Diamandis today in a telephone interview also said the warning message did not identify the World Trade Center as the attack target.

Diamandis declined to reveal any other information contained in the message, including whether the warning named the targets for the attack.

"Providing more details would only lead to more conjecture," he said.

He did confirm that soon after the terrorist attacks on New York, the Odigo employees notified their management, who contacted Israeli security services.

In turn, the FBI was informed of the instant-message warning.

The Odigo service includes a feature called People Finder that allows users to seek out and contact others based on certain interests or demographics.

Diamandis said Thursday that it was possible the attack warning was broadcast to other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of other recipients of the message.

In addition to operating its own messaging server network, Odigo has licensed its technology to over 100 service providers, portals, wireless carriers and corporations, according to the company.

I take anything from DEBKA as if it came directly from a mossad disinfo operation. Not worth the toilet paper it was found on.

Agreed.

The story from DEBKA could very well be some type of disinformation op from MOSSAD or just a BS story from DEBKA, but the timing is suspicious, to say the least.

Bottom line is, did Iranian Jews receive letters advising them to get the hell out of Iran pronto?

This is a typical and very well known Israeli 'scare-tactic' which Arabs are very aware of. This last Israeli attack on Lebanon in the summer of 2006 was accompanied with daily and even hourly threat messages on mobiles (yes mobiles!!!) and even phone calls (on mobiles too!!!) to the inhabitants of central Beirut. I have many friends who received such messages and phone calls and they had even forwarded them to me at the time. The bastard Israelis would tell them for example:
"we're coming for you".. "We're coming to get you".. "It won't be long before you are in our hands"... "Are you waiting for me"... "you're next",.. "you're dead"... "leave while you can"... and on and on and on...

I am 100% sure that they are Zionist Jews/Israelis who sent those messages to the Jewish community of Iran which is living there very happily.. and this is precisely what zionists don't like.

When Ashkenazi Jews started coming to Palestine and thinking of establishing Israel, they basically did the same with all the Jews who were very happily living in Arab countries in order to encourage them to leave for Israel. They scared them until those Jews no longer felt comfortable at home and did leave for this damned Israeli state.
Israeli tactics never change..

One more thing that I forgot to mention: Debka is an Israeli intelligence site which likes to look politically "moderate" while it really plays the same role as an agent provocateur

Claymoremind and I do not dismiss your post, and our bad attitude is not directed at you. Apologies if we seemed snooty. We're just suspicious of Debkafile, an israeli outlet.

Debkafile can be a good source of information, but cannot be trusted on its own. We must first get independent corroboration before we believe any Debkafile story.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, I remember that. That’s one disadvantage of cell phones….they can be used to create mass panic. However, after a couple of days, everyone in Lebanon ignored all such messages. Most people ignored the aerial flyers too, but unfortunately people in the south believed the flyers. The israelis in their messages said they would not harm anyone who fled south Lebanon. When Lebanese people fled the area, the israelis massacred them. This happened many times.

But remember…..israelis are “victims.”

Since the Zionists couldn't buy the Iranian Jews with offers of up to $25,000 a piece to move to Israel, maybe they're trying a scare tactic.

Or maybe not.

One thing's for certain: The Zionists are bat shit crazy and love their death and destruction....

As long as it's someone else getting blown up, shot and napalmed and not the Zionisits.

Greg... it definitely is a scare tactic on one end and a "poor us persecuted Jews" tactic on the other... After all, why not stir some 'anti-semitism' talk? Israel could sure do with a little sympathy considering its ugliness.

Against zionism... "Israelis are victims"??? Hehehe... Victims of who other than themselves of course?
PLEEEEEEEAAASE tell me:)

Any letter from the United States arriving in Iran would almost certainly be opened by the Iranian Postal authorities or the Iranian Internal Security authorities before it was delivered to its destination.

In the case of an hysterical "Get out of the country!" letter the Iranians would conduct a further investigation of course. The names and return addresses on the envelopes would be recorded. The Iranians would have their people check the return addresses in the United States. If a particular return address did not exist the Iranians would continue checking the other addresses. If they continually found the addresses they were checking to be fictitious they could reasonably conclude they were wasting their time investigating a hoax and the investigation would be terminated.

If some of the return addresses checked out as being real then Iranian agents would surreptitiously contact the people who lived there. The agents would be able to determine whether or not those people had actually posted letters to Iran.

If they determined that the people at the address really did send the letters then the Iranians would take further steps.

If Iranian agents determined that the people at each address had no knowledge of a letter sent to Iran then the agents could conclude that some third party had "borrowed" the address of innocent people and used it as a return address on a letter to Iran. If that scenario occurred with any frequency the Iranians could reasonably conclude they were wasting their time investigating a hoax.

If this debka story is intended to be a serious, straight-faced report of a real event, the activity itself seems amateurish (and I'm extremely sceptical of anything reported by debka). If all this actually happened it sounds like something organised by sayanim in Europe and the USA rather than an activity actually sponsored by israeli security services. It's too easy to identify as a hoax by the Iranians. I find it hard to imagine that mossad would spend time on such a weak, easily discredited operation -- BUT with one major caveat:

It COULD be an operation used to identify Iranian agents. Iranian agents could conceivably visit a particular address in order to verify the address or interact with the occupants, so if this were a security operation it could be potentially useful for that purpose.
