9/11 Kissinger Speech

by JD » Fri Jun 23, 2006 7:29 pm

On the evening of 9/11 Kissinger made a big speech that was carried on all the networks. I've tried to find a transcript of this without success. Does anyone know (or could find?) where it is? Thanks in advance

I have been trying to find this too. He said something to the effect that 9/11 was a "great" or "unique" or even "welcome" opportunity, but I can't find the exact quote.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>CNN BREAKING NEWS 13:55 (September 11, 2001 Tuesday) Transcript # 091129CN.V00 LENGTH: 924 words HEADLINE: America Under Attack: Henry Kissinger Discusses Terrorist Attack on the U.S. GUESTS: Henry Kissinger BYLINE: Judy Woodruff, Aaron Brown HIGHLIGHT: Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger discusses this morning's terrorist attack on the United States. BODY: THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: We are told President Bush just about to be wheels up from the Barksdale Air Force base in Louisiana, and now let's go back to Aaron Brown in New York. AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: Judy, thank you. I believe we have former Secretary Henry Kissinger on the phone. The secretary is in Germany today, and he joins us on the phone from there. Mr. Kissinger, can you hear me OK? HENRY KISSINGER, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE: Yes, I can. BROWN: Just quickly, sir, your reactions to what is unfolding in the United States today? KISSINGER: Well, it's obviously a shocking event. It was -- I was giving a speech when somebody came in and interrupted the question period to make that announcement, and nobody in the room believed it. They all thought it had to be a mistake. Well, it's, obviously -- it's an integrated attack and must be dealt with in an integrated way. BROWN: Well, when you say an integrated attack and dealt with in an integrated way, tell me -- tell me what that means, sir? KISSINGER: Well, it's obviously -- any organization that can plan such a coordinated attack within a very brief period of time must have substantial resources and must have very capable organizations. And must have a haven where it's planning these things. You can't do that in the back room. BROWN: And -- and when you talk about an integrated response? KISSINGER: Well, the integrated response is obviously -- first of all, I want to say, like every American right now, I am behind the president. And this -- the response right now has been exactly what is needed. And the first necessity has to be to go through the tragedy, to help the -- to help the families and to clean up the immediate situation. And then, the next step will have to be a program to attempt to eradicate the source of this and to bring pressure, and serious pressure, on governments that harbor this kind of an organization, and especially governments where we suspect that these organizations are located. BROWN: Sir, for a long time, there's been a kind of cat-and- mouse game, and I don't -- I don't make light of this in any sense when I say game -- between the governments that harbor terrorists and our government and other Western governments. It's all changed today, hasn't it? I mean, the stakes have changed enormously, the response likely will change enormously. It's all different, isn't it? KISSINGER: That's correct. When -- when these terrorists do attack the territory of the United States, it then becomes a question of the functioning of our society. And we have to protect ourselves, and I am sure we will. And I think it -- it's not an isolated attack, it's not just an attack on an embassy, which is bad enough. And it can't be dealt with with one retaliatory blow. BROWN: It cannot be dealt with with one retaliatory blow? KISSINGER: No. It has to be a systematic attack. I don't know what that means. BROWN: I -- I understand... KISSINGER: I am not sitting here with a great plan. I am saying this is what I would think our government will want to work toward. BROWN: And would you expect that we, the United States government, will find enormous international support for whatever actions the United States government chooses to take, or will there be those important governments that resist here? KISSINGER: Well, first thing is we have to protect ourselves. We will, of course, like to get as much support as we can. And we will be able to judge our friends by the degree of support that we get. But there will be some governments who say we have to understand the conditions that produced this. There will come a time to deal with these circumstances, but the immediate thing is, these organizations have to be put on the run. If they have to spend all of their time trying to survive, they have less time for terrorism. BROWN: And Mr. Secretary, we heard -- and I am not sure you were able to -- but a few moments ago, Chris Dodd, Senator Dodd of Connecticut, compared this to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Can you give me any historical context for what has taken place today, or are we a bit too close to it all to understand it yet? KISSINGER: Well, the attack was -- I guess it was -- it was certainly the first attack from across the seas on the territory of the United States, but it was not yet the mainland. And I agree with Senator Dodd, this is comparable to an attack like Pearl Harbor, and we must have the same response. And the people who did it must have the same as the people who attacked Pearl Harbor. But it isn't just the people who did it, it's the people who make it possible. BROWN: These are the governments that harbor those that carry out these attacks? KISSINGER: Harbor, or encourage them with their propaganda. BROWN: Mr. Secretary, thank you. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger who joins us from Germany where he was attending a conference. When he heard the news, he said it was silent, unbelievable, people simplify could not believe what they are hearing. I think that's a term, a phrase, you will hear a lot over the days and weeks to come, what has happened here in New York and in Washington and in other parts of the country -- unbelievable. A national tragedy -- Judy. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com<hr></blockquote>

On September 11, most of the world was in shock, and there was no way to know who was behind the attacks. Kissinger's statements are incredibly revealing, because in his arrogance he betrayed the fact that he somehow knew the decisions and policies that the US would be pursuing globally after 9/11. <blockquote>Quote:<hr>...it can't be dealt with with one retaliatory blow. BROWN: It cannot be dealt with with one retaliatory blow? KISSINGER: No. It has to be a systematic attack. I don't know what that means. BROWN: I -- I understand... KISSINGER: I am not sitting here with a great plan. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> I am saying this is what I would think our government will want to work toward. <hr></blockquote> <blockquote>Quote:<hr>...this is comparable to an attack like Pearl Harbor, and we must have the same response. And the people who did it must have the same as the people who attacked Pearl Harbor. But it isn't just the people who did it, it's the people who make it possible.

KISSINGER: Harbor, or encourage them with their propaganda. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o">  <hr></blockquote> Mind you, I'll confess to having a visceral, hostile feeling towards Kissinger. Not just because I know he's a cold, evil war criminal and mass murderer, but because I did see him once in person. I steeled myself not to respond to his legendary charm, but instead found myself repulsed by what seemed to be a huge, humanoid rat. There was nothing to steel myself against, I don't know what people mean when they say he is "charming" and "fascinating", I discerned nothing attractive whatsoever. I WAS frightened, though...Maybe that's what some people like.

Kissinger's probably out of the loop on exactly what the deal is and so wisely refrains from stating who he thinks it was, in contrast to the intel assets and counterterror experts who immediately say it's Bin Laden. My suspicion about 9-11 is there was significant in fighting that day between neocon factions (who had Iraqi patsy rings ready to be tagged) and the more institutional permanent govt intel factions (who had Bin Laden sponsored rings), and who wanted to go to Afghanistan, but not Iraq (a fight that is a unifying theme of this administration). (Note also that neocons still insist Saddam operatives were behind the first WTC in 93 and even Oklahoma City). It would also explain why the hijackers are so mysterious and the lack of proof of who's on the plane, multiple passenger manifests, screwed up videofootage, etc. I suspect the full neocon version had its wings clipped and was planned to be far more catastrophic, including taking out the capital and ushering in immediate martial law, with a make shift Congress of appointed think tank hacks to replace the elected representatives who'd be a rubber stamp for Cheney.

Kissinger is out of the loop ? Ive just read the entire transcript.....and I know exactly what Kissinger is saying. Its the infamous freemasonic double-speak. Dont you get it yet ? Have a look at the floor of any masonic lodge. Black squares, white squares. In order to experience the good in life , we need to experience the bad. And Vice versa. Wheres your line in the sand, and, do you actually understand how these guys are playing the big game ? For instance, when the average American doesnt have the damned intelligence to work out exactly how it is, that you can lose every black box after 9/11, and in the same time recover a passport, doesnt that indicate gross stupidity/ignorance ? When you can stand in front of the world and speak of "rogue states" possessing weapons of Mass destruction - Big fuckoff lie - Whilst completely ignoring the fact that it is the devil within who is perpetuating nuclear warfare, by way of DU - and the average intellect cant work out the obvious oxymoron . I mean can you really blame these guys for calling us the useless fucking eaters. It is up to YOU, to explain this to people.

I agree. The responsibility of getting the word out rests with US. The media is busy furiously hiding the truth. And there are many who don't want to know. But there are those with ears to hear. It is up to those with the information to let them hear it. It's a big responsibility and you'll call down a lot jeers and deprecations for your efforts. People are listening now, however.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>The responsibility of getting the word out rests with US.<hr></blockquote> If you want the greatest challenge. If you want your life to really mean something. Suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. And DONT be afraid. Neither of ridicule, or the consequences. You cannot kill infinite consciousness. Do you think they dont know that already ? 2012 beckons. Where is your line in the sand ?

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Kissinger is out of the loop ?<hr></blockquote> Sure. That's not to say he doesn't know the clash of civilizations is coming, but he doesn't have any operational details or foreknowledge about the specific patsy rings, and he probably suspects there's gonna be infighting about who the stated guilty parties are. So he isn't out with a prediction about who it is; he doesn't know exactly and he doesn't need to; he knows it's game on.

Kissinger out of the loop, eh? That's a good one..

please reread. I think you'll see what I mean.

You dissapoint me New Kid. If Henry don't know the game, then who does ? Old Henry is amidst the darkest of the dark if you want my opinion. Extended the Vietnam war by at least 3 years. Major peodophile ( allegedly) Implicit in the removal of Allende from Chile, and the imposition of good old Pinoche - I believe theres a current lawsuit filed with regards to the above. Party to the Indonesian massacre of the Indigenous population of East Timor , in the "Name of progress" Host to a meeting of Bush Snr, Chairman Maou, and old Enery himself...... To paraphrase Webster Tarpley......... "So there they sat , on a mid summer afternoon drinking tea......Bush, Kissinger , and Maou..........has history ever recalled a greater meeting of mass murderers.........Even Hitler would have been happy to take a backseat amidst such company....... And you believe "Dr" Kissinger aint in the know. Ever watched "Dr Strangelove" ?

by **NewKid** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 8:21 pm

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>If Henry don't know the game, then who does ?<hr></blockquote> On 9-11 itself, nobody for sure. And certainly not Kissinger, who's not actually in the administration and who's sitting in Germany giving speeches. Now this is just speculation, but I tend to think the whole screwball nature of the attacks and how sloppy they were, how certain factions were immediatlely out with Bin Laden, while others weren't, and Bush's journeys to Barksdale and Offutt have the makings of an intragovernmental pissing match, where somebody got double crossed.

Henry is a Lizard.... I know that sounds stupid New kid. But hell, you started it <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D">
