September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

"At about the same time Bush was getting ready for his jog, a van carrying several Middle Eastern men
pulled up to the Colony's guard station. The men said they were a television news crew with a
scheduled "poolside" interview with the president. They asked for a certain Secret Service agent by
name. The message was relayed to a Secret Service agent inside the resort, who hadn't heard of the
agent mentioned or of plans for an interview. He told the men to contact the president's public relations
office in Washington, DC, and had the van turned away." [Possible Longboat terrorist incident Is it a
clue or is it a coincidence? By Shay Sullivan, City Editor, The Longboat Observer, 9/26/2001]
The fascinating aspect of this forgotten news is found in another event on the other side
of the world, just two days prior. Ahmed Shah Massoud, leader of the Afghani resistance
against the invading Soviets during the 1980s and then against the repressive Taliban
regime that sheltered bin Laden, was assassinated by a suicide squad of two Tunisian
operatives posing as journalists, using a bomb inside a video camera during an interview
at his headquarters. Given the coincidence, one must assume the intent of the Florida
news journalists was comparable to that of Tunisian journalists that assassinated
Massoud.
Scenario 3 was scheduled as a back-up plan. President Bush is reported to be a regular
jogger. What is not widely known (but reported twice in the press), and is certainly
commonly known amongst his staff, is that the President loves to jog on the beach, with
about a four mile jog. A couple of miles up the beach from the Colony Resort, (and 4.28
miles by road) is the Holiday Inn, which was checked into by none other than Mohamed
Atta – the accused organizer of the September 11 attack.
"Just three nights before President George W Bush arrived at the swank Colony Resort on Longboat
Key on the evening of Sept 10, 2001, Mohamed Atta was staying at a slightly-less tony hotel just two
miles down the beach, the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites—Longboat Key, according to eyewitnesses who
contacted the FBI in the immediate aftermath of the attack." [Bush and Atta Visit Same Resort in the
Hours Leading to 9-11, Daniel Hopsicker, Venice, FL, 7/29/2002]
While publicly written off to coincidence by the FBI, under scrutiny this event seems
more than coincidental. The location of the hotel on the same beach would have been
perfect for sniper or suicide assassination while the President was reaching the half-way
mark of his normal jog.
The timing of Atta’s check-in is not a coincidence either. The scheduling for the tour of
schools that the President was taking was deliberately left open. “Potential’ schools on
the tour were not identified until August 28, and not selected until possibly September
6th. Because the date of each school’s visit was not disclosed, Atta would need to be in
place at one of the schools starting the 7th.
"On August 28, 2001 we got the news that Emma Booker had finished the preliminary offerings for the
Presidential visit. We knew that we were on the list for a visit, and the final selection would be in a
week. We were informed that we would not know the exact date because of security reasons. We were
advised to "keep the news close to home."[Kathy Williams, EEB Classroom Teacher,

Bush’s visit to Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, on September
11, 2001 had been in the planning stages since August but was only publicly announced
on the morning of September 7, the same day that Attachecked into the hotel. For Atta to
