    BREAKING: All Of Congress Votes To Override Obama’s Veto Of 9/11 Bill



    Published on 28 Sep 2016

    Video Transcript:

    CHAD PERGRAM: The Senate voted 97 to 1 early this afternoon. It went to the House,
    the vote there was 348 to 77. You need a two-thirds vote in both bodies and they were
    well above that threshold in both bodies here.

    President Obama argued this decision to override could be dangerous.

    OBAMA: So this is a dangerous precedent and its an example of why sometimes you have
    to do what’s hard. And frankly, I wish Congress here had done what’s hard. I didn’t expect
    it because if you’re perceived as voting against 9/11 families right before an election, not
    surprisingly that’s a hard vote for people take. But it would have been the right thing to do.

    This Democrat senator disagrees arguing they closed a loophole established by the courts.

    RICHARD BLUMENTHAL: What we’ve done here is provide justice or at least the opportunity
    for justice, a day in court to the victims of terrorism and we’ve closed a loophole that was
    open by the courts, not by Congress in a decision made by the second circuit court of appeals
    that said in effect that foreign state sponsors of terrorism can aid and abet killing Americans
    in this country as long as they do it outside our borders. I think that kind of loophole should
    be closed. I read the court decisions and the bill and I am satisfied it’s the right thing to do.

    Obama: Congress veto override of 9/11 lawsuits bill 'a mistake'
    19 minutes ago
    From the section US & Canada


    US President Barack Obama has said Congress made a "mistake" by overriding his veto and
    pushing through a bill that allows legal action against Saudi Arabia over the 9/11 attacks.
    He said the bill would set a "dangerous precedent" for individuals around the world to sue
    the US government.Wednesday's vote was the first time Mr Obama's veto power was overruled.

    CIA Director John Brennan agreed that the bill carried "grave implications" for national security.

    He added: "The downside is potentially huge."

    There is a first time for everything Mr Obama. Go to your Saudi Friends and cry.
    I hope the American People sue the Saudis to the bottom of their wallets.
    I have been to a lot of Arab countries like Oman, VAE (Dubai, Katar and stuff) they were nice. Only Saudi Arabia is like a Hell on Earth. I was warned that as soon as I would enter there they would put me and my Girlfriend in prison. You are not allowed to drive a car with a women in there if you are not married to that woman!!!

    This breaks the back of the TPP and TTIP agreements that corporate globalism has been trying to sneak in through the back door.

    Those agreements would have allowed corporate control of the globe, with no local, national, or individual response.

    This veto creates the pathway for that recourse to emerge, in the form of law and legal precedent. Which is how things work in the US justice system.

    What’s Really Behind the Senate’s Override of Obama Veto of Saudi 9/11 Lawsuit Bill?

    By David on 29 September 2016







    What’s Really Behind the Senate’s Override of Obama Veto of Saudi 9/11 Lawsuit Bill?

    September 28, 2016 By 21wire



    ‘While the US media follows the red herring of this legislative drama which is Saudi Arabia,
    the real point of this bill – and why President Obama is so vehemently opposing it – is going
    completely unnoticed.

    If any case was brought to court by 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia for ‘state-sponsored terror’
    regarding the attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001, the court would find there is no
    real forensic case proving Saudi involvement in this event. Other problems will crop up too. For
    starters, at least 7 of alleged hijackers were actually found to be alive after their faces were
    plastered on US TV screens after 9/11. ‘

    This should get real interesting as to how the now upcoming forced mass awakening i hope will happen following the probable widespread release of info caused by this.
    Rather unlikely obviously that the Saudies are forever going to be blamed for or pay victoms for this.Bush and his bunch will be running for ratholes.To bad they arent to be sent to that country for their punishment.

    US Congress Overrides Obama Veto of 9/11 Bill



    Published on 28 Sep 2016
    The U.S. Congress has voted to override President Barack Obama’s veto of a
    bill that would allow lawsuits against Saudi Arabia for the terrorist attacks of
    September 11, 2001. As VOA’s Michael Bowman reports, Wednesday’s tallies
    in both houses of Congress were overwhelming and marked the first time an
    Obama veto has been overturned.

    So if that is passed the entire planet can sue the US for its actions ?

    i get the feeling this is a diversion , the actual events of 9 eleven were not committed as its being reported.

    Should clarify that a bit Dianamar...with all of the prep required to take down those buildings and all of the people that knew beforehand logic would say it was u.s. based.
    There are tons of books and video taking apart moment by moment what happened by very intellegent people of many fields of expertise.
    Sacrificing a few thousand lives being a small price to pay for some to have far more control of inhabitants of this planet.
    Small airports in northern b.c. now quite often have more people on the ground checking passangers than there are passengers as a result of 911...many more freedoms taken away.
    Long overdue this was exposed to the people who still dont belive it.The ironic part being congress may well have tipped the first domino in that direction.

    Quote If we can sue the Saudis, can we sue Mossad as well?
    The Saudis are only a piece of the puzzle , there are traitors in
    the US that have gotten away so far and many others who are
    unaware of the parts they played thru compartmentalisation
    and following orders. There is no way the towers could have
    fallen and the whole neo - con agenda that has been played
    out since 1990 without planning and execution by parties
    in the highest powers of the mil ind corporate states of America.

    Yes mossad and other agencies must have helped knowingly or
    not . The only persons that definitely had nothing to do with it
    are Bin Laden , Saddam , Gaddafi and millions of others who
    are all dead , injured , maimed , homeless in war torn Afghanistan
    and the Middle east due to the neo -con and others plan for the
    new American century project that needed a 'new pearl harbour event'
    ie. 9/11 to set all this motion.

    This in itself may at least get the mainstream press to get their
    heads out of their , and do some proper 9/11 research,
    follow the money , political agendas and who profited out of
    all this . It certainly was not any of the people the government
    told us it was........I know you know this and I have many posts
    and threads on the subject , just venting steam....LOL....

    JASTA blowback: Saudis threaten to pull billions from US economy, could restrict airspace



    Published on 29 Sep 2016
    Congress recently overturned President Obama’s veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of
    Terrorism Act (JASTA), which would allow terrorism victims’ families to sue nations
    responsible for the attacks. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would likely be one of the countries
    hardest hit by this legislation and it is threatening to sell more than $700 billion in US Treasury
    securities and restrict use of their airspace as a result of JASTA. RT America’s Alexey Yaroshevsky
    has the report.

    They AREbeing blamed for it.possibly they did fund training pilots who thought they were going to be piloting planes but were used as scape goats.
    Obama was obviously trying to avert lawsuits resulting from losses of people in countrys that were invaded and trashed for no provable good reason..like Iraq

    Default Re: Capitol Hill overrides Obama's veto on 'Sue the Saudis' 9/11 bill

    If we can sue the Saudis, can we sue Mossad as well?
    The precedent this law creates for Americans to sue sovereign governments for terrorism is indeed intriguing.

    And dear old Israel sits right in the crosshairs now.

    There are a number of well-informed people in high places who have a serious beef with Mossad – Israel’s official terrorist agency. And – even better – they’ve got the evidence. There’s at least one other American death in another case that can be directly linked to Mossad activity.

    So Congress’s action represents a rather clever maneuver to bring Zionist terrorist activity to heel. No wonder Obama was forced (by his masters) to veto the bill.

    Interesting times, these.

    Cheers,
