The Missing Links – Audio Post
The phrase “9/11: the missing link” refers to a prominent public theory and a series of high-profile statements made by August Hanning – News Review
My impression:
Hanning was on the right track with his “frequent” remarks about the role of the “STATE SUPPORT” for Hamburg cell, although it is unclear if he considered Germany itself in this role. It was a powerful opinion, at odds with the official version of the non-state Al Qaeda, and someone (the true culprits) probably did not like it, because it could lead directly to them. What followed, looks like a SET UP, the series of traps for Hanning, from his financial ruin (prearranged?) to his various unrelated private investigations which eventually lead to his arrest and current predicament. Now he is effectively shut off from the world and can talk only to his native BND. His former boss Gerhard Schroeder looks unconcerned about this, and, to the contrary, rather happy in his meeting with Putin: was this his birthday present?
It looks like the “STATE SUPPORT” for the Hamburg Cell, of which Hanning frequently spoke out, went directly from Gerhard Schroeder through his own channels, via the local Hamburg politicians, bypassing Hanning; otherwise Hanning would not speak about it so readily, risking to implicate himself and Germany.
The aim of this support was to help the future hijackers in their adaptation to the life in the western society, so they could fit seamlessly and unsuspiciously into the life in the US, while attending the pilots schools. At the same time, they were “egged on” and WEAPONIZED.

9/11: the missing link – August Hanning – Google AI Mode: The phrase “9/11: the missing link” refers to a prominent public theory and a series of high-profile statements made by August Hanning, the former head of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND), regarding the 2001 terrorist attacks. Hanning, who led the BND from 1998 to 2005, has frequently spoken out about a missing link in the official 9/11 investigations—specifically targeting the logistical and financial state support given to the Hamburg Al-Qaeda cell, which included lead hijacker Mohamed Atta.
Hanning has argued that the hijackers could not have lived and operated so seamlessly in Germany without structured, domestic assistance that went largely unmapped by the initial U.S. and German investigations.
The Historical Investigation (August Hanning vs. The 9/11 Hamburg Cell)
Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Hanning—acting as the BND chief—headed the German intelligence apparatus tasked with mapping how al-Qaeda pilots like Mohamed Atta operated undetected from Germany.
Operational Failures: The investigation revealed severe intelligence oversight. German authorities admitted they actually had members of the cell and their Marienstrasse apartment under surveillance in 1998 and 1999 due to a suspected bin Laden operative. However, the surveillance was abandoned when investigators failed to connect the students to an active threat.
The Chechnya Pivot: Intelligence records compiled during the post-9/11 investigations showed that the Hamburg cell members initially intended to fight in Chechnya. A chance encounter on a German train with an extremist named Khalid Masri redirected them to a Mauritanian businessman, who subsequently introduced them to Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, where they were recruited for the plane operation.
Logistical Support: The intelligence findings mapped out how the cell utilized individuals like Said Bahaji and Mounir El Motassadeq to manage routine banking and university affairs while the primary pilots were away training in Afghanistan and the United States, allowing them to avoid drawing the suspicion of immigration officials.
The intersection of these two timelines created a massive political scandal in Germany, shifting August Hanning’s legacy from the man who investigated the 9/11 Hamburg terrorists to a suspect arrested because of a Hamburg police raid on his own home.
The results of Hanning’s investigation of the Hamburg cell: summary – Google Search
#Israel: “Do not train the Saudi pilots, they will turn against you!”
#Russia: ” Do not send your Saudi pilots to Chechnya, they will turn against you!”
#Germany: “Send these moronic pilots anywhere, we don’t care; bur not against us, we had had enough!”
The September 11 attacks shifted this dynamic by significantly modifying how both nations trained their pilots, and altering the structural military relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia.
The role of the numbers of the well trained pilots in the military competition between Israel and Saudi Arabia: How 9/11 affected this balance? – Google Search
Russia intended to stop further unravelling of the USSR by turning the tables on the Western sponsors of Chechen separatists, including the US, Saudi Arabia, and other Muslim countries, by forming the anti-American Al Qaeda as the cover.
Israel intended to ignite the intense hostilities between the Saudi Arabia, other Arab countries, and the US, in the hope of benefitting from it, and strengthening the alliance with the US.
Germany, namely Schroeder, found the way to express their post-WW2 hatred for the US and to affirm their short lived, post-German unification gratitude and closeness with Russia.
These are the large scale, strategic, long term motivations and plans, with 9/11 as the “appropriate” action.
The technical acumen of the Operation 9/11 points to the state sponsored operation, not the half-literate “Al Qaeda”.
All this is pretty much on the surface, and it does not require the deep digging.
What does, is the ease and readiness to be deceived on the part of the CIA, FBI, and other investigators.
It is very unlikely that any documents on the true origins of 9/11 exist in principle – the matter is so sensitive and explosive. The plan was known to the very few people, presumably to Putin the Mastermind, his second, Bortnikov, likely, Schroeder, and probably some Mossad Chiefs. Hanning’s knowledge and tasks were likely limited by the Hamburg Cell. However, his ability to communicate with Russia and Israel, directly or via Azerbaijan, point to possibility of sharing this information and coordination. Hanning can disclose this and other information if he is given a good enough incentive in the process of further investigations.
The order of importance:
Putin – FSB – Russia – Israel – Germany, each of whom had their own goals
The miserable Arab “culprits” are just the patsies and the SCAPEGOATS!
The blame for MISINVESTIGATION of 9/11 is on Bush administration, FBI at that time, and Robert Mueller.
REINVESTIGATE THE 9/11!
Kash Patel, please add it to your list of the FBI historical mistakes, on the number 1 slot.
