August Hanning’s communications implicate both Israel and Russia in the hypothetical origins of 9/11 – Google Search google.com/search?q=Augus
The order of importance:
Putin – FSB – Russia – Israel – Germany, each of whom had their own goals.
The miserable Arab “culprits” are just the patsies and the SCAPEGOATS!
The blame for MISINVESTIGATION of 9/11 is on Bush administration, FBI at that time, and Robert Mueller.
REINVESTIGATE THE 9/11!
Kash Patel, please add it to your list of the FBI historical mistakes, on the number 1 slot.


My Opinion:
It is very unlikely that any documents on the true origins of 9/11 exist in principle – the matter is so sensitive and explosive. The plan was known to the very few people, presumably to Putin the Mastermind, his second, Bortnikov, likely, Schroeder, and probably some Mossad Chiefs. Hanning’s knowledge and tasks were likely limited by the Hamburg Cell. However, his ability to communicate with Russia and Israel, directly or via Azerbaijan, point to possibility of sharing this information and coordination. Hanning can disclose this and other information if he is given a good enough incentive in the process of further investigations.

August Hanning’s communications implicate both Israel and Russia in the hypothetical origins of 9/11 – AI Mode:
There is no evidence or official record indicating that August Hanning’s communications implicate Israel or Russia in the origins of the 9/11 attacks.
The official consensus supported by the 9/11 Commission Report concludes that the September 11 attacks were planned and executed exclusively by the terrorist group al-Qaeda. While conspiracy theories frequently attempt to attribute the events to foreign states like Israel, these claims have been extensively thoroughly debunked by intelligence agencies and independent investigators. [1, 2]
The recent prominence of August Hanning in public discourse stems from a completely separate event: in October 2026, the former head of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) was arrested by German authorities on charges of treasonous espionage and spying. [3]
Context of the 2026 Espionage Case
The Allegations: Federal prosecutors accuse Hanning of purchasing roughly 2,000 classified internal BND documents from a former chief of staff (Manfred D.) between 2010 and 2022. He allegedly used this intelligence in his private consulting work to brief foreign intelligence entities. [3, 4, 5, 6]
The Documents: The leaked materials reportedly contained executive intelligence briefings and data concerning Iran’s nuclear program and the Russian armed forces. [4, 5]
Foreign Ties: German media reports suggest investigators are looking into a potential intelligence leak connected to Azerbaijan. While Hanning historically maintained high-level professional contacts with intelligence circles globally—including in Russia and Israel—nothing in the active criminal proceedings or the recovered documents links his communications to the origins or foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks.

The arrest of August #Hanning, #BND president from 1998 to 2005, has sharpened long-standing doubts in #London about sharing secrets with #Germany’s foreign intelligence service.
– Investigators believe Hanning spent 16 years after leaving office collecting highly sensitive material—situation assessments, partner-agency documents, and papers on the Iranian nuclear programme and the Russian military—and selling some of it to an undisclosed foreign power.
– British agencies are said to be checking whether their own material or personnel were compromised.
– US agencies are reportedly reviewing what they shared with European partners over the same period.
– This is the latest symptom of a deeper problem:
– After the Cold War, Berlin took a deep “peace dividend.” Defense spending fell from about 3.9 % of government outlays in 1991 to roughly 1.1 % of GDP by 2014.
– The BND was left underfunded and tightly constrained; until reforms this summer, officers could not fire service weapons, sabotage abroad, or spread disinformation. A later chief compared the service to Gulliver “tied up with a thousand threads.”
– Post-Gestapo and post-Stasi politics produced heavy oversight. After Snowden, a 2016 law restricted sharing with the #UK and #US, and a 2020 court ruling made foreign interception much harder.
– Failures reinforced the “weak link” label: the BND missed the 2022 invasion; officer Carsten Linke was arrested in late 2022 for allegedly passing #Ukraine secrets to Moscow; a 2024 air-force call leaked on Russian television exposed British personnel in Ukraine.
– Merz has raised the BND budget by about a quarter to €1.51 billion and granted limited sabotage and weapons powers.
– Is it late?
– I think it is, but better late than later.
– Is it enough?
– Probably not.
– Germany has to meet the foriegn end of #Russia’s hybrid campaign, Chinese collection, #Iran‘s plots against dissidents and Jewish targets, #ISIS infiltrations and #Hamas attack planning at the same time, and none of those threats is shrinking. Intelligence is slow, highly specialized, labour-intensive work. You cannot recruit, clear and train a service on demand, or rebuild source networks and technical capacity that were run down for decades.
– Funding is only half the problem. The other half is people like Hanning: a former chief now accused of collecting and selling secrets long after he left office, on top of a serving officer already charged with passing Ukraine material to Moscow. Extra money and new powers do not restore a service partners already treat as porous.
– This is a cautionary tale for much of #Europe: a starved service is a liability, and a penetrated one is worse.

If these allegations are proven in court, this would be a betrayal of historic proportions and a devastating security scandal for Germany.

British and American intelligence agencies are investigating the fallout from a major espionage scandal in Germany involving former head of the BND, August Hanning, and senior official Manfred D., according to The Telegraph.

According to German sources, some of the materials came from foreign intelligence partners, raising concerns that British and American intelligence, including agents and informants, may have been compromised.

MI6, GCHQ, and several US agencies are reviewing classified information shared with European allies, focusing on protecting potentially compromised sources.

🇩🇪 UPDATE: According to information from Der Spiegel, former BND chief August Hanning is suspected of having prepared a classified intelligence analysis for a contact linked to Azerbaijan’s intelligence service, using highly sensitive information obtained from the BND.

Hanning is due to appear today before an investigating judge at Germany’s Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe, who will decide whether he is placed in pre-trial detention.

Hanning was arrested yesterday in North Rhine-Westphalia on suspicion of treasonous espionage, obtaining state secrets, attempted treason and intelligence-agent activity. His former BND office manager, Manfred D. is already in pre-trial detention.

German prosecutors have not publicly confirmed Azerbaijan as the country involved and say it remains unclear whether the analysis ever reached its intended recipient.


GeoInsider (@InsiderGeo)BREAKING: Germany has arrested former BND chief August Hanning in a major suspected espionage and treason case involving highly classified intelligence on Iran’s nuclear programme and the Russian military.

According to investigations by WDR, NDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating Hanning over suspected treasonous espionage, obtaining state secrets, attempted treason and intelligence-agent activity.

Investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office reportedly arrested Hanning early this morning at his home in Nordwalde near Münster. A second former senior BND employee, identified as Manfred D. was also arrested in Bavaria. D. allegedly supplied Hanning with highly classified BND information for money until at least 2022.

Around 2,000 classified documents are reportedly believed to have been passed from D. to Hanning. Many were briefings prepared for the “ND Lage” at the Federal Chancellery, where the heads of Germany’s security agencies exchange intelligence. The documents reportedly included extremely sensitive assessments of Iran’s nuclear programme and Russia’s armed forces, as well as intelligence originating from foreign partner services.

Investigators reportedly suspect that Hanning used at least some of the information to prepare a security analysis for a foreign intelligence service. According to WDR, NDR and SZ, the service involved in that case was not Russia. In another case, Hanning is alleged to have used information from classified BND documents in communications with a foreign agent.

The case reportedly came to light after Hamburg investigators searched Hanning’s home and offices in September 2025 during a separate investigation connected to the Christina Block kidnapping case. They allegedly discovered an electronic storage device containing highly classified BND material that Hanning should not have possessed.

The documents reportedly included material dating as recently as June 2022, years after Hanning had left the BND. The Hamburg LKA subsequently handed the material over to federal authorities, and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office opened a classified investigation in May 2026.

For Germany’s intelligence community, the allegations are extremely serious. The material allegedly included intelligence supplied by foreign partner services. Any unauthorized disclosure of such information could seriously damage trust between the BND and allied intelligence services.

The investigation remains ongoing, and the allegations against Hanning have not been proven in court.

Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth)So Azerbaijan is reportedly behind the corruption of the former German intelligence chief. When will Europe wake up to Azerbaijan as not just a source of oil but also a dictatorship that uses unseemly means including repression to retain power? trib.al/ZsaGToQ

“Modernising, capable and a hawk on Russia. August Hanning was regarded as all of those things during his seven years as chief of German intelligence” says David Blair.

“Now, the professional reputation of this former spymaster, who led Germany’s version of MI6 – known as the BND – from 1998 until 2005, lies in ruins after he was arrested for allegedly passing classified information to an unnamed foreign power ” ⤵️

August Hanning est soupçonné par la justice allemande d’avoir utilisé des informations classifiées du BND dans le cadre d’une activité au profit d’un service de renseignement étranger

Selon Der Spiegel, les enquêteurs soupçonnent que ce service était celui de l’Azerbaïdjan et que Hanning était en contact avec un agent azerbaïdjanais

Ces soupçons prennent un relief particulier au regard des liens anciens et documentés de Hanning avec les réseaux d’influence azerbaïdjanais en Allemagne, notamment le Deutsch-Aserbaidschanisches Forum, dont il était membre du Vorstand

Former German intelligence chief August Hanning, who was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of espionage and attempted treason, is being investigated over alleged links to Azerbaijani intelligence, according to Der Spiegel.

Hanning, 80, headed Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service, the BND, from 1998 to 2005. German federal prosecutors say he is suspected of obtaining classified information and using material derived from it in contacts with a foreign intelligence official.

According to Der Spiegel, investigators believe the foreign intelligence officer involved was Azerbaijani. Hanning allegedly obtained classified BND documents from his former associate Manfred D. and used the information to prepare a written intelligence analysis intended for the Azerbaijani officer. Whether the analysis ultimately reached its intended recipient remains under investigation.

Hanning is also known to have maintained connections with Azerbaijan. He previously served on the board of the German-Azerbaijani Forum, an organization promoting relations between the two countries.

The forum has previously drawn scrutiny over its links to German politicians and Azerbaijan’s lobbying network. Several former German lawmakers have faced investigations or legal proceedings over allegations involving Azerbaijani money and political influence in Europe.

Former Bundestag members Eduard Lintner and Axel Fischer have faced bribery proceedings over alleged payments linked to Azerbaijan, while former MP Karin Strenz was previously found to have violated Council of Europe rules over undisclosed conflicts of interest connected to Azerbaijan.

German authorities arrested both Hanning and Manfred D. on October 6. Prosecutors are investigating Hanning on suspicion of treasonous espionage, obtaining state secrets, attempted treason and acting as an agent for a foreign intelligence service.

German federal prosecutors have not publicly identified the foreign state involved, but Der Spiegel reports, citing investigators, that the suspected intelligence contact was Azerbaijani.

Hanning’s lawyer has declined to comment publicly on the allegations concerning Azerbaijan.
