John Judge Testimony at September 11 Citizens’ Commission What Led to This Point: Historical Framework of Deep Politics & Covert Operations New York City, New York, 9 September 2004 A complete transcript is at: https://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/JohnJudge/911CitizensComm-090904-2.html From the beginning: I’m John Judge with 911 Citizens Watch and I can only say that I’ll tell the truth and nothing but the truth. If I tell you the whole truth you won’t need any more witnesses. We don’t know the whole truth yet. But I do try to be honest and I also try to get at the truth which is a fairly slippery animal. I come in the role as someone on a staff of a commission. I was trying to outline earlier, and didn’t go into great detail, about some of the omissions in the Report and areas that the Report either doesn’t clarify or misleads in. Some of those that I think bear the most fruit for a commission to look into in regard to 9/11, I mentioned before, is whether or not this was an intelligence failure. I think it’s been framed as an intelligence failure from the time of the Joint Committee forward; the Joint Inquiry by the Senate and the House. But I think framing it that way has put us in a position of then curing that failure by further funding, giving more powers to, fortifying and failing to criticize in any fundamental way, that same intelligence establishment that we’re saying failed us on 9/11. I think the real analysis should be that there was a breakdown in every standard procedure of the intelligence agencies that had functioned prior to 9/11. And it should be looked at that way. Rather than that the system was dysfunctional. Because had it been dysfunctional, for all those years up to 9/11, someone would have done something to fix it, presumably. And there wasn’t any move or criticism of it until you get to 9/11 and then everything that you see happening in the past suddenly doesn’t happen in terms of the 9/11 events. Taking that intelligence failure route also means that we don’t criticize the historical framework of deep politics and covert operations, criminal cartels and paramilitary operations, illegal drug distribution networks, and undemocratic forces combined from their inception with the US intelligence agencies to create both domestic and foreign covert operations, first to serve the interests of the Cold War, and in a continuing way now to serve the interests of an emerging global corporate expansion. The history of that is for the most part hidden from us. Because history in 1948 under the National Security Act became not something that belonged to the people of the United States, but rather a commodity that was put under control of a national security state. This is the military-industrial-intelligence—and those are the original words in the draft of the speech—the military-industrial-intelligence complex that Eisenhower warned about going out of office in 1961, that he saw emerging and said shouldn’t have undo influence. But the only person that seemed to stand up to it, effectively, John F Kennedy, was removed from office in a rather abrupt way. And not much of anybody has challenged it since. This Commission would leave it in place and strengthen it and consolidate it....
