Hey hey Bitcoin Wealth Builders!

Have you ever looked at a headline and wondered if you were living in an alternate reality? 

Consider that Abu Muhammad al-Julani—the former head of ISIS in Syria who now leads HTS, a group backed by Turkey and the Gulf states—was recently seen visiting the White House after having a $10 million bounty on his head. How are such glaring contradictions possible? The answer lies in understanding the true mechanics of power, a framework starkly revealed by the events of September 11, 2001.

The official narrative is a fairy tale spun to justify two decades of war, the demolition of civil liberties, and the construction of a global surveillance machine. It’s propaganda designed to obscure the operations of what I call the “proof of weapons network,” where intelligence agencies manufacture crises to justify conflict and profit. 

Let's cut through the propaganda. This article distills five critical, evidence-based takeaways from Ryan Dawson's comprehensive documentary, "EMPIRE UNMASKED REDUX II," to explain how the world really works, so you can decipher current events and avoid becoming a useful idiot for the military-industrial complex.

1. The "War on Terror" Was a Pre-Planned Imperial Escapade

The story sold to the public was that America was attacked "out of the blue" because "they hate us for our freedom." This was a fabrication. The decision to invade Iraq—a country with no connection to the attacks—was not a reaction; it was the immediate execution of a pre-written script.

This documentary proves the "War on Terror" was a fraudulent marketing campaign for a pre-planned series of conquests. According to the source material, 9/11 was the catalyst for a "Zionist script for war," sending the United States on a multi-trillion-dollar imperial escapade against Israel's enemies. General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, recounted a conversation he had at the Pentagon just days after the attacks that laid the plan bare:

"He says, 'We've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq.' This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, 'We're going to war with Iraq. Why?' He said, 'I don't know.'... A few weeks later... he said, 'This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.'"

This fact fundamentally changes the entire story of the post-9/11 era from a reaction to an attack into the execution of a long-held plan.

2. Terrorist Groups Are "Privateers" on an Intelligence Agency Payroll

The concept of Al-Qaeda as an independent, ideological force is a carefully constructed myth. The accurate model is "privateering," the primary operational tactic of the proof of weapons network. Intelligence agencies foster, finance, and arm radical proxy forces to wage war in places like Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Syria without risking their own soldiers while maintaining deniability.

Al-Qaeda fits this model perfectly. Its origins trace back to Operation Cyclone, the CIA-backed program that armed the Mujahideen—then called "Freedom Fighters"—to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. This playbook was used before in the Iran-Contra affair, where the US covertly armed groups it publicly denounced, and was repeated years later with factions of ISIS in Syria. The core principle behind these operations is simple and effective.

"Plausible deniability. We wanted to be able to deny a covert operation."

This is critical because it reframes terrorist organizations. They are not organic ideological movements but rented militias and weaponized assets managed by state intelligence agencies to achieve geopolitical goals.

3. A Multinational Intelligence Nexus Orchestrated the Attack

Forget "intelligence failures." The evidence reveals active, intentional complicity from elements within US, Saudi, and Israeli intelligence. Far from being caught by surprise, these entities created the conditions for the attack and protected its perpetrators.

• US Complicity: The CIA, specifically its Bin Laden unit known as Alec Station, deliberately withheld crucial information from the FBI. They knew that Al-Qaeda operatives and future hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar were inside the United States, yet they blocked multiple attempts by FBI agents to locate and investigate them. This shielding was not an oversight; it was policy.
• Saudi Support: In California, a logistical and financial support network was provided to the hijackers. This network was run by figures like Omar al-Bayoumi, a confirmed Saudi intelligence operative. Money flowed from Princess Hifa bint Faisal (the wife of Saudi ambassador Bandar bin Sultan) through Riggs Bank to individuals who were directly assisting the hijackers with housing, transportation, and expenses.
• Israeli Involvement: On 9/11, five Israeli men were arrested after being witnessed celebrating and filming the first tower strike before the second plane hit. Their van, from "Urban Moving Systems"—an FBI-identified intelligence front—contained traces of explosives, and maps were found inside with the World Trade Center and their specific vantage point at Doric Towers highlighted before the attacks occurred. The company's owner fled to Israel immediately after the attacks before he could be questioned.

These three entities—the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel—were the same players involved in the "Safari Club," a historical intelligence network designed to run covert operations off the books, financed by Saudi money and shielded from congressional oversight.

4. The Anthrax Attack Was a "False Second Wave" to Manufacture Consent

Just as the shock of 9/11 began to wear off and questions arose, a secondary crisis was manufactured to terrorize lawmakers and the public into compliance. The 2001 anthrax attacks were a tool of domestic terror and propaganda. The letters contained the phrases "Death to America, death to Israel" and were immediately blamed on Iraq, despite forensic analysis tracing the military-grade strain back to a US lab at Fort Detrick.

The targeting revealed the true purpose. While a hoax anthrax letter was sent to Judith Miller, a key media proponent for the Iraq war, the lethal, weaponized spores were sent to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy—the two leading political figures opposing the rapid passage of the totalitarian Patriot Act. This was a domestic false flag operation designed to create an atmosphere of fear that silenced dissent and ensured the passage of pre-written legislation that massively expanded the surveillance state and greenlit the pre-planned invasion of Iraq.

5. The 9/11 Commission Was Designed to Conceal, Not Reveal

The official investigation was a cover-up from its inception. It was meticulously designed not to find the truth, but to produce a politically safe narrative that protected the powerful institutions and individuals involved.

The commission was riddled with severe conflicts of interest. Its executive director, Philip Zelikow, was the primary author of the Bush administration's 2002 National Security Strategy, which codified the doctrine of preemptive war—the very policy 9/11 was used to justify. In effect, the man who wrote the agenda was put in charge of "investigating" the event that catalyzed it.

Furthermore, the commission included signatories from the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), the neoconservative think tank that had openly published its desire for a "new Pearl Harbor" to serve as the catalyst for its vision of global American military dominance. The 9/11 Commission's purpose was not to find facts, but to control the official story.

6. Conclusion: Understanding the Game to Change the Future

The central thesis is clear: 9/11 was not a simple terrorist attack but a complex, state-sponsored covert operation. It was the necessary pretext for launching the "forever wars," justifying a multi-trillion-dollar wealth transfer to the military-industrial complex, and erecting a domestic surveillance apparatus.

This framework is essential for deciphering current geopolitical events. It explains a world where yesterday's enemies become today's partners, where terrorist groups are rebranded as political assets, and where crises are manufactured to serve the interests of the proof of weapons network. This is how the real game of empire is played.

Now that you can see the blueprint for deception, what contemporary crises are being manufactured, and whose agenda do they truly serve

Peace!
