He is known as the "godfather of modern day jihad" in Islamist circles. Abdullah Yusuf Azzam was born from a farming family located in Al Harithya, West Bank, Jordan. Under Israeli occupation the family lived under duress from their invading settlers which caused Azzam to keep his fiery passion of one day expelling the Zionist invaders from Palestine. Azzam would become quite the orator and under some religious guidance which saw him connect with the Jordanian branch of the muslim Brotherhood, he soon would visit Saudi Arabia where he would become learned of Wahhabism. It was here Azzam's theological beliefs become more "radical".By 1979, when the Soviets invaded Kabul, Afghanistan's capitol, it would be Azzam who would call the Muslim world to arms, and begin the 'jihad" against the secular invaders. Azzam would help to influence many young foreign Arabs, who weren't initially welcome by the insular Afghans initially. One notable Arab took notice of Azzam, Osama Bin Laden. Both men along with Abdullah Anas, a dear friend to Azzam, would construct the Afghan Services Bureau, Maktab al-Khidamat (Arabic). Soon Non-government Organizations along with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Saudi General Intelligence Directorate (GID) and the Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) began funneling hundreds of millions thru the Bureau, which would start accepting foreign Arabs thru ought the world and train them in warfare and religious instruction by Azzam. By 1989, the Soviets agreed to retreat, and the next chapter in Azzam's life turned toward Israel. But his dreams of a freed Palestine would end dramatically with his assassination by unknown assailants as he was driving with his two sons to the Sab al-Layl mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan on November 24th 1989.

I hosted a Twitter Spaces live broadcast, where people are invited to listen and participate in a live audio recording. In this discussion which i labeled, "9/11 Roundtable, i speak generally about the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, the intelligence services and Bin Laden's operatives. Afterwards we had a three hour, questions and answers period from the audience who attended. 3-19-2022)

Almost immediately after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, the narratives of a "government conspiracy" began on cue. By 2004, after the publishing of the 9/11 Commission Report, the self proclaimed "experts" of the movement began outright dismissing the findings claiming it was basically one giant lie. But was it completely false? Or did they simply dismiss the findings because they had already found the government guilty at some level and couldn't bring themselves to believe otherwise. In this video i talk about how to use the scientific method to assess what is true, from what is false. The only way to investigate 9/11 is to do so responsibly and without forming a pre-concieved narrative. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAkJYHZAr5g
