It was a remarkable coincidence that the press conference of Bob Graham, former Senator and co-chairman of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the events of Sept. 11, 2001, took place on the same day, Jan. 7, as the terrorist attack against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Senator Graham, Congressmen Walter Jones and Stephen Lynch, as well as family members of the victims of the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, blamed Presidents Bush and Obama, who have kept classified an entire chapter of the Commission’s original report, for the fact that the real background of the Sept. 11 terrorism remains covered up to this day, and therefore the wave of terror has not ended. The failure to release this information continues to threaten the world, “as we saw this morning in Paris,” Senator Graham stressed.

In the wake of the vicious massacre in Paris on Jan. 7, two facts stand out. First, the two brothers who carried out the attack at the Charlie Hebdo offices had verified connections to the jihadist network run from London—which is properly designated "Londonistan" by knowledgeable terrorist experts. Second, the assault, among others around the globe, comes at a time when the British imperial structure that runs such terror, is increasingly desperate to impose its agenda of global dictatorship, to try to save its bankrupt system from destruction.
