The case they
cannot ignore

According to former State Department employee Michael Springmann, 15 of the 19 visas issued to the 9/11 hijackers came out of the U.S. visa jurisdiction in Saudi Arabia where John Brennan was serving. Watch the related Mike Benz video ↗

Essentially, one can assess that yes, he indeed is.

Brennan confessed during a lie detector test that he was an operative for the Communist Party of America during four different election cycles. Due to institutional rot, this startling revelation somehow did not preclude Brennan from serving in the CIA.

Mr. Brennan likely rose through the ranks of the CIA due to his political sympathies and anti-US ideologies and, as a result, was chosen for its highest position by Mr. Obama.

The introduction in High Stakes Treason asks readers the following question: Who is John Brennan and how did an admitted communist become the head of the Central Intelligence Agency?

High Stakes Treason was written by Ian Trottier, with a foreword by Roger Stone. Additional forewords have been provided by computer engineer Brooks Agnew, and former CIA agent John Kiriakou. Based on the multi-year investigation by former FBI agent John Donovan, the book is published by Bombardier Books, an imprint of Post Hill Press.

The book was published on July 22, 2025. It is 430 pages. Notably, that same day, President Donald J. Trump claimed Barack Obama had committed treason.

Trump made the comments in the Oval Office that day during a meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Trump stated that Obama was “guilty” of treason and that “it’s time to go after people.”

The comments followed a release of declassified documents by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, which alleged a “treasonous conspiracy” by top Obama administration officials.

According to former State Department employees Michael Springmann and Mike Benz, yes. There absolutely is.

Based on the evidence presented in High Stakes Treason, the CIA under Director George Tenet, with John Brennan serving as Tenet’s chief of staff from 1999 to 2001, did not merely fail to prevent 9/11; it actively enabled the attacks to succeed.

Brennan latched onto Tenet’s coattails in the mid-1990s. Tenet pulled him up, eventually making him the CIA’s executive director, its third-ranking officer. As chief of staff, Brennan would have been privy to exactly the same information as Director Tenet during the two most significant terrorist events of that era: the bombing of the USS Cole (October 2000) and the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The CIA knew two 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, had entered the United States in January 2000, yet intentionally prevented FBI agents assigned to the CIA’s bin Laden station (Alec Station) from alerting the FBI. The CIA then used a false official statement (the Ali Soufan letterhead memorandum) to further block the FBI’s investigation.

CIA asset Anwar al-Awlaki had documented personal contact with six of the 9/11 hijackers, even purchasing airline tickets for several of them, including Mohamed Atta.

The book concludes: “the CIA withheld key information from the FBI to enable the 9/11 attacks to succeed.” The CIA had the means (asset reporting, SIGINT reporting, dissemination control), the motive (needing a new adversary to justify its multi-billion-dollar budget), and the opportunity to allow the attacks to happen, and John Brennan, as Tenet’s chief of staff, was positioned to know everything the Director knew.

Former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo, a key leader of the bureau’s counterterrorism efforts after 9/11, revealed that Brennan converted to Islam while serving as CIA Station Chief in Saudi Arabia, estimated between 1996 and 1999. Guandolo stated that Brennan recited the shahada (the Islamic declaration of faith) in the presence of Saudi government and intelligence officials, and that U.S. government officials stationed in Saudi Arabia at the time were direct witnesses to his conversion.

Guandolo first made these claims public on February 8, 2013, during an appearance on Tom Trento’s radio program. The full three-hour broadcast is below:
