Let us now one of the most important facets of any crime or money. Barely touched so far in this book, the financial aspect linked to 11 September reveals its share of surprises when attention. For example, few people remember a certain news conference at which Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said the Pentagon had simply 'lost' $ 2.3 trillion in transactions.
You read: 2.3 trillion dollars! And what could be the reason why an announcement of this magnitude go unnoticed? Possibly the date of this announcement: September 10, 2001. In this regard, here is an excerpt from CBS report released January 29, 2002.
"On 10 September [2001], the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war. Not against foreign terrorists, ˝ the opponent is closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy ˝, he had announced.
He stated that the money wasted by the military was a serious threat.
˝ In fact, it could be said that this is a matter of life or death ˝, "he said.
Rumsfeld promised change but the next day - Sept. 11 - the world changed and, in the rush to fund the war against terrorism, the war against waste seemed to be forgotten. [...]
˝ According to some estimates, we can not track $ 2.3 trillion in transactions ˝, Rumsfeld admitted.
$ 2.3 trillion - that's $ 8,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States. [...]» K8
Since such huge amounts can sometimes be difficult to assess, it may be easier in this case to imagine 2.3 trillion dollars, or 2.3 million million dollars. Ultimately, it is an astronomical figure that even the biggest fraud in history is not nearly equal. By Therefore, the mere fact that the Bush administration has announced it the day before Sept. 11 itself deserves serious consideration.
course, we can not conclude anything definitively, but it is nevertheless interesting to compare the probabilities of two hypotheses: first, that only chance was responsible for the selection of the September 10, 2001 announcement date as of which certainly had a very devastating potential for the U.S. government, or secondly, that the day of 10 September was chosen knowing that something important occur the next day to consign to oblivion the financial scandal in power.
Since evaluation of probabilities on a similar topic can obviously be influenced by a bunch of variables coming into affect the conclusions, we will avoid placing too much value to this exercise. Let us dwell instead on a more concrete, that is to say the source of the money used to finance the attacks themselves.
The Times of India, an amount of $ 100,000 was transferred by a certain Lieutenant-General of Pakistan, Mahmud Ahmad, to Mohammed Atta, leader of the 19 terrorists of September 11, through an intermediary known as Ahmad Saeed Umar Sheikh. Here is an excerpt from article published August 1, 2003.
"India has played a key role in providing information to U.S. authorities that the financing of the September 11 attacks came from Pakistan. A senior anti-terrorist FBI said Thursday the government affairs committee of the U.S. Senate that investigators had followed ˝ track the source of funding from 11 September to financial accounts in Pakistan ˝.
John S. Pistole, deputy assistant director of the FBI terrorism division, however did not specify how those accounts in Pakistan were created, nor the role of Pakistani elements. The Times of India was first reported Oct. 10, 2001 that India had informed the U.S. that an amount of $ 100,000 was transferred to the terrorist leader, Mahmud (Mohammed) Atta, the terrorist of British-born Ahmad Saeed Umar Sheikh.
The Indian authorities have also revealed that the United States since the track went back to the head of Sheikh ISI [Inter Services Intelligence agency of Pakistan] at the time, Lt. General Mahmud Ahmad, who was then forced to retirement by the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf. The FBI had been awarded all the details, including Sheikh's mobile numbers. But Pistole's testimony is silent on this. The FBI has established the cost of the September 11 attacks between $ 175,000 and $ 250,000. That money - which was used for flight training, travel and other expenses - came to the terrorists through accomplices in Germany and the UAE.
These accomplices working for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who coordinated much of the planning of attacks from Pakistan, American officials said. The Bush administration is reluctant to make public 28 pages of a recent secret report on the events of 11 September, which officials said they would describe connections between Saudi charities, members of the royal family and the terrorism. [...]» K9
Let also this excerpt from AFP (Agence France-Presse) dated October 10, 2001.
"[...] A senior government source told AFP that the 'incriminating link' between General [Ahmad] and transfer of funds to Atta was part of the evidence that India was officially sent to the United States. ˝ The evidence we have provided the United States are in scope and depth much greater than just a piece of paper linking a corrupt General in an act of terrorism ˝ misnomer, "said the source. [...]» W163
So, is it not logical to ask why the U.S. took it directly to Afghanistan while about half of the financing of the attacks came in making the country neighbor, Pakistan? Obviously, the fall of 2001, the pretext that bin Laden was hiding in mountainous Afghanistan has taken precedence everything else, even if it had then denied responsibility for the attacks.
However, after such a discovery about Pakistan, involving the leader of their secret services (ISI - the same intelligence that the CIA supplied them with the MAK and Bin Laden to fight the Soviets during the 80s), it seems reasonable to suppose that a serious cooling of US-Pakistan relations have emerged following these revelations.
It was not the case. Much to the surprise of observers, the reverse has the same product.
Indeed, following the September 11, 2001, the United States and Pakistan established a partnership against all expectations, surprising and even suspicious to many. In it a closer look, the nature of this partnership more akin also to usability than simple traditional diplomatic relations, which was puzzling given the situation.
look about it that brought an article from Asia Times January 27, 2005.
"[...] India has not forgotten that last year, President Musharraf (Pakistan) became the first and only leader of a South Asian to have been allowed to date at Camp David, the United States. Even former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, hailed as a statesman, had not been offered the honor. President Bush announced an agreement for military and economic aid worth three billion U.S. dollars to Pakistan, the first payment has already been approved by Congress. Shortly after, Pakistan has been granted status as an ally of the leading non-Treaty Organization North Atlantic, making it eligible for more military assistance.
So what is the true meaning of American generosity towards Pakistan since September 11? The analyst Kaushik Kapisthalam Indian residing in the United States, recently published a study that was widely quoted in the Indian media. According to this study, the U.S. provided $ 600 million in emergency aid to Pakistan to leave Islamabad's inability to repay foreign loans. This was followed by the cancellation of debt Pakistan valued at $ 1.5 billion, by pressure on the International Monetary Fund to provide over 1.5 billion dollars for the poverty reduction, through pressure on Western donors to reassess the mass of the external debt of 38 billion dollars from Pakistan, and an annual economic assistance of 500 to 700 million.
Pakistan has received more than $ 1.1 billion in military and economic assistance in 2002 alone. He also received $ 1.32 billion in military assistance between January 2003 and September 2004. Meanwhile, the United States to pay Pakistan $ 100 million each month for the use of military bases and facilities on Pakistani territory. [...]» K5
Moreover, this same Pakistan who had come to interfere in U.S. military procedures in the early months of the invasion of Afghanistan in operations aimed specifically when the Taliban. Here's what happened, as reported by the MSNBC November 29, 2001.
"[...] Last week, however, at least half a dozen cargo aircraft of Pakistan Air Force landed in the city of Kunduz [Afghanistan], under Taliban control, and evacuated to Pakistan hundreds of non-Afghan soldiers who fought alongside the Taliban and even Al Qaeda against the United States. [...]
The Pentagon, including satellites and drones are capable of detecting camouflaged guerrillas in subterranean caverns, claims not to be aware of these flights. When asked about the mysterious airlifts during a Pentagon press briefing recently, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joint, have denied knowing of the existence such flights. Myers seemed a little unsettled, saying that given the geography of the countries surveyed, it could be possible to pass between the mountains and valleys to conduct such an airlift without being detected.
But Rumsfeld intervened. With his talent to be direct and vague at the same time, he said: ˝ I have received absolutely no information that would confirm or corroborate the statements relating to aircraft entering or leaving. I doubt their existence.
˝
Western reporters who are in Kunduz in the days after his fall [in the hands of Americans] learned this week long to dispel that doubt. [...]
Last Saturday, The New York Times followed the trail, citing soldiers of the Northern Alliance in a front page story reporting a flyover by Pakistani aircraft for two days, supported by witnesses who described groups of armed men awaiting evacuation at the airport who was at that time still under Taliban control.
Another report, this time from the London Times, quoting a soldier of the Alliance angry denouncing flights, reasonably assuming that they were conducted with the blessing of the United States.
˝ We were determined to kill them all, and we are not happy that the U.S. had left the aircraft coming ˝, said the soldier Mahmud Shah. The breach
credibility of these reports from the field and no comments ˝ ˝ U.S. government is big enough to pass a unit of marines. Appeals from the MSNBC.com and NBC News military officials and U.S. intelligence did not provide any clarification on these stories of escape, although they were clearly a hot topic of conversation. ˝ Oh, you mean for Operation Evil Airlift '˝, "joked a military source. ˝ Listen, I can not confirm anything about these reports. In my case, they simply do not exist. ˝ Three other sources military and defense have simply denied knowing anything.
Something is wrong. It appears obvious to any reasonable observer that an aircraft of one type or another taking off and landing in the final hours of Kunduz in the hands of the Taliban. [...]
If passengers were merely soldiers and members of the Pakistani intelligence service, and not civilians extremists, what motive could he possibly have to hide the truth about these evacuations? Pakistan may believe that nobody noticed the cordial ties of its intelligence services with the Taliban or even with Al Qaeda, but the Pentagon, he, operates certainly not under the illusion, is not it? The news channel quoted sources in U.S. intelligence as far back as 1997 stating that relations between Pakistani intelligence and Al Qaeda, as links with the Taliban - a movement supported by Pakistan - are undeniable. Q2 [...]»
course, it becomes important to understand the implications of this case highlights since the two faces of Pakistan, which have uprooted the Taliban and Al Qaeda of Afghanistan in a fishbowl of Americans. Less than two months later, the story took shape. Here is an excerpt from the Guardian Unlimited published January 21, 2002.
"After receiving permission American evacuation of Pakistani military leaders of the besieged Afghan city of Kunduz in November slipped ˝ ˝ out of control, allowing Al Qaeda fighters to join the exodus , it was claimed yesterday.
˝ Dust has blurred the screen ˝, said an official with the U.S. intelligence service in New Yorker magazine.
The magazine U.S. military officials allowed Pakistan to fly safely to preserve the political position of General Pervez Musharraf, whose survival is seen as crucial in the American war effort.
The exodus - which initially insisted that the administration had not taken place - should only help the Pakistani officials in Kunduz, which was surrounded by troops of the Northern Alliance supported by U.S. forces.
But the incumbent military affairs correspondent of The New Yorker, Seymour Hersh quotes a senior source the intelligence service as saying Taliban fighters and Al Qaeda have slipped onboard. ˝ Everyone brought their friends with them ˝, told an adviser to the Defence.
The U.S. military could even be cooperating directly to these airlifts, according to the article, which is based on conversations with intelligence officials and military top brass. Two of these sources have revealed to Hersh that the U.S. Central Command had been ordered to establish a special air corridor to ensure that relief flights could take place safely. [...]
The Minister of Indian National Security, Brajesh Mishra, was quoted as saying that as many as 5,000 Pakistani were rescued. U.S. sources have suggested that the total was much lower. Q1 [...]»
Thus, in a context where Pakistani military officials allowed their friends ˝ ˝ Taliban and Al Qaeda to escape U.S. forces and coalition less than two months after September 11, and in which the FBI has publicly acknowledged the transfer of $ 100 000 to Mohammed Atta (W164), the financial assistance of the United States and their cordial relationship with the Pakistan may indeed seem inappropriate.
Also, how is it that the commission investigating the attacks of September 11 has at no time mentioned the financial link from the secret services of Pakistan in its final report in 2004? Here is rather what the commission said about the money trail.
"[...] To date, the U.S. government has been unable to determine the origin of the money used for the attacks of 11 September. Ultimately, the question has little significance in a practical sense. [...]» W2 (page 172)
You can, and should, read this passage, because it contains important. How the investigation committee on the worst terrorist attack in history he could reach the conclusion as ridiculous as incredible as the source of money used in this masterful plot had little importance? This reasoning does it make more sense when you remember that the Bush administration had initially opposed for over a year to the establishment of such an inquiry? In contrast
include this excerpt from the cover page of the Washington Post, dated October 7, 2001.
"U.S. investigators have established strong financial links between the terrorist network Al Qaeda and the 19 terrorists who perpetrated the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon officials said that senior government now consider the track Financial as the key to the investigation. [...]» W128
In retrospect, the statement that 'the origin of money used for the attacks of September 11 ... has little importance 'presented in the official report of 2004 it would not be exposed due to light by the media? They remained nevertheless a peep on the subject.
incriminating information abound yet in the public domain. For example, this same Pakistani General Mahmoud Ahmad, who was forced to retire shortly after September 11 following his involvement in the transfer of $ 100,000 to the leader of the terrorists, Mohammed Atta, was found deeply buried in This Washington Post article dated May 18, 2002. See why.
"[...] On the morning of September 11, [Porter] Goss and [Bob] Graham had breakfast with a Pakistani general named Mahmud Ahmed [sic], the head of Pakistani intelligence, which would soon be laid off. Ahmed ran a spy agency notoriously close to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. [...]» W14
first identify these American characters.
Bob Graham was at that time chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Senator from Florida.
Porter Goss (left) was on her chair for information from the House of Representatives and was later promoted to head the CIA in 2004. The luncheon was also reported in the New York Times on June 4, 2002 (W15), and would have acted on a trip to Pakistan the previous month, by the same two men.
Is not that an amazing coincidence to find two of the most senior U.S. intelligence services in the company of the same man who was behind the transfer of $ 100 000 to terrorists, and at this moment where attacks took place? Not to mention that later, the inquiry failed to report this 'minor detail' in his report, preferring instead to declare the source of the money had little importance ˝ ˝ practical sense? Then, the U.S. has maintained diplomatic relations then also friendly with Pakistan?
We also learn in a CBS News article dated January 28, 2002, Osama bin Laden himself was in a Pakistani hospital the day before the attacks.
"In a story as twisted as the hunt for Osama bin Laden, CBS Evening News has learned that the evening before the terrorist attacks of September 11, Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan. He received medical treatment by the same soldiers who enlisted a few days later to lend their support to the U.S. in the war against terror in Afghanistan.
to Pakistani intelligence sources have told CBS News that bin Laden had been admitted to emergency in a military hospital in Rawalpindi for kidney dialysis treatment.
˝ ˝ That evening, said a medical worker who wanted her identity protected, ˝ they expelled all the regular staff of the urology department and sent a secret team to replace them. ˝ She said that this was a treatment for a very special person, and that ˝ obviously, the task force did not inspire not trust.
˝ ˝ ˝ The soldiers encircled, said a hospital employee who also wanted his identity not be revealed, ˝ and saw the mysterious patient get help to overcome the car. Since then ˝, he said, ˝ I saw several photos of the man. It is the individual that we know as Osama bin Laden. I also heard two army officers who were talking among themselves. They said that Osama bin Laden should be monitored closely and they were caring for him. [...]» ˝ W106
That certainly does not understand why the U.S. developed a relationship as cordial with Pakistan after 11 September. Short on words, we fall back on the conclusion of the Asia Times article cited above.
"[...] India has suffered years of his questions about the true nature of US-Pakistan relations. After Sept. 11, New Delhi [India's capital] was expected that Washington would take in Pakistan, known as a nerve center of Islamic extremists and terrorism in the region. Instead, the United States came to the rescue of what was then clearly a failed state ruled by a military dictatorship obvious. Even after the involvement of Pakistani intelligence in the case of September 11 has been exposed, the United States was not just lenient but also offered them an exceptional support. As a result, Indian strategists have now only to refute the arguments of conspiracy theorists who claim that the war against terrorism ˝ ˝ is a false pretext and that September 11 was organized by Islamabad [Islamabad] with with Al Qaeda, at the request Americans, as the neo-conservatives ruling the U.S. needed a reason to satisfy their imperialist agenda. There was once a few people in India to support these ideas as far-fetched, but apparently times have changed. There are so many discrepancies and inconsistencies in the official U.S. version of that same conspiracy theories most incredible start to gain credibility. "K5
Liron us soon for such items through our Western media? Certainly, with rare exceptions begin to slip here and there. For example, this quote from an editorial Canada in the Winnipeg Sun, April 13, 2007 edition.
"Unlike the 'patriots' who try to use the deaths of our soldiers in Afghanistan to stifle debate on Canada's involvement in the war against terror, I suggest that if new evidence is in, we would makes cowards to ignore it simply because we have lost troops in the field and therefore we are blindly committed to the mission.
And new evidence is accumulating around us, probably strong enough to declare that the war against terror is a fraud undeniable.
Virtually ignored by mainstream media, Americans have put on the table this year through a new Iraqi oil law, which is now his way through the Iraqi parliament.
law - against which tens of thousands of Iraqis protested in a peaceful march on Monday, calling for the immediate expulsion of U.S. forces - would transfer control of one of the largest oil reserves the world from Baghdad to Big Oil, fulfilling then 'reward' including Vice President Dick Cheney had made known the words in 1999 when he was CEO [President & CEO] Halliburton [giant oil services]. [...]
While the United States discuss the oil deal will give Iraqis an opportunity to achieve "freedom and stability", the International Committee of the Red Cross reported this week that million Iraqis are in a dire situation that continues to deteriorate, with 'mothers begging someone recovers the corpses scattered in the street for spare their children the horror of seeing them return school '.
Four years after the invasion, it becomes very clear that Iraq was 'pacified' the sole purpose of economic aggression. [...]
Afghanistan, meanwhile, has provided the U.S. a strategic military point of landing in Central Asia (that the defendants' American supremacy, had asked in the 90s), and it was quietly reported in November that plans for a natural gas pipeline valued at $ 3.3 billion were accelerated to assist Afghanistan in become an energy bridge in the region '.
At a time when many Americans (including academics and former government officials from the United States) questioning even the physical facts of September 11 and seriously challenge the thesis of the 'Islamic militant', while the media are cerebrally more inactive than they have ever been in our lifetimes, now is not the time for extreme nationalism and blind faith in the actions of Cheney, George W. Bush and Robert Gates.
Our young men are better than that - is not it, Mr. Harper? "W72
*****
Another aspect relating to the September 11 plot who also number, is the discovery of a large quantity of gold in a delivery tunnel under the Building 5 World Trade Center. Consider this excerpt from an article about the New York Daily News published on 1 November 2001.
"Workers at Ground Zero ˝ ˝ unearthed last night a buried treasure of gold and hidden for weeks under the ruins of the World Trade Center.
While a small army of federal agents equipped with high caliber rifles and automatic weapons mounted guard, municipal police officers and firefighters filled two trucks with armored Brink's highly valued, relevant sources.
The sources said that gold was discovered in a delivery tunnel under the Building 5.
˝ Exeunt gold when we speak ˝, said a source last night. ˝ They have brought in extra police.
˝ It was not immediately clear how much gold was recovered last night - or exactly how much was buried in the complex after the September 11 attacks.
The Bank of Nova Scotia, which is headquartered in Toronto, said its vault located under the Building 4 alone contained over 200 million dollars in gold and silver. The spokesman of the Bank, Pam Agnew did not know immediately if any part of this gold had been found last night.
[...] In recent days, construction workers - directed by federal agents - have pioneered a way to tunnel delivery located beneath the complex.
officials have finally joined the gold by going to the tunnel yesterday, after workers had removed a ten-wheel truck, several crushed cars and piles of debris.
No body was found during this operation.
While workers approached the gold yesterday, authorities began to prohibit access to the northern portion of ˝ ˝ Ground Zero and FBI and Secret Service joined forces with police and firefighters on the site.
˝ If I tried to go down there, they would have shot ˝, said a construction worker who was removed from the tunnel. W1 [...]»
Firstly, is it not legitimate wonder why that gold was no longer in its vault but in a delivery tunnel? Recall that despite major fires and falling debris directly to Buildings 4 and 5, they nevertheless survived to 11 September. It is therefore unlikely that the ingots have been expelled from their underground vault in a tunnel leading to delivery since the buildings above had not collapsed.
Moreover, because federal agents directed the research until the tunnel, as reported by the New York Daily News, and they began to restrict access to This section of the site even before they have reached gold, this does not he knew full well that these agents where to look, and they knew they would find gold in this particular place?
Inevitably, this gold should be moving when the twin towers collapsed on Sept. 11, and it appears that federal agents were informed. The fact that no body was found here also indicates that whoever was trying to transport gold was warned of the imminent danger and was able to escape without this portion of the gold that was later recovered. Of course, nothing excludes that an additional quantity of gold may have been stolen successfully before the disaster.
That said, it remains strange that so much gold was found in the tunnel for delivery. While some estimates put the value of gold that was under the World Trade Center up to 200 billion dollars, the news service CNS News reported on it in the aftermath of the attacks that two of the largest gold reserves the world were under the ruined buildings, one of them would have an area equivalent to the length of two football fields and contained more gold than any other vault on earth. A4
In any crime, money did not he always been the number one reason? Should we ignore these elements when considering the attacks of September 11? Is it not conceivable that someone wanted to benefit financially through all this chaos?
*****
Let then added a section on the slightly more experienced on September 11. In fact, many people have possibly heard of the sudden increase in purchases of put options ˝ ˝ in the days before attacks. Explained simply, ˝ ˝ put options are a type of stock transaction used when an investor believes that the value of a security is about to fall. Lorsqu'effectivement, the value of the security on which we place the put options ˝ ˝ collapsed within days, then the key investor profits.
In this regard, see what Chicago Tribune reported on September 19, 2001.
"The stock market regulators around the world are investigating whether the terrorists involved in attacks last week have made gains in the financial markets, possibly by buying options on securities of United Airlines, Boeing, American Airlines and other companies in the knowledge that their prices would drop.
Negotiators say a stock transaction suspiciously high volume of options just before the attacks on AMR Corp., parent of American, and UAL Corp., Parent of United, in particular, have generated huge profits after terrorists have crashed aircraft belonging to the two airlines against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange said Wednesday it was investigating the purchase of options before attacks. [...]
A trader in Chicago said that the significant increase of purchased options is evidence that people were aware of impending disaster.
˝ Someone knew, either a broker or someone who knew these guys, or it is one of these terrorist cells ˝, said Jon Najarian, founder of Mercury Trading, which is specializes in stock options in Chicago.
If investigators find evidence that terrorists tried to profit from falling share prices, it could be useful in identifying those behind the attack and to freeze their financial assets, experts say. [...]
Anyway, someone has used in extraordinary quantity of a financial instrument called put options ˝ ˝ in the days preceding the attack. [...]
September 6, the volume of put options ˝ ˝ on United Airlines was in 3150, more than four times its average daily volume for the current year, according to Options Clearing Corp. data. The volume of put options ˝ ˝ Boeing on Sept. 7 totaled 27,294, more than five times its daily average this year.
Day before the attacks, the volume of put options ˝ ˝ on the title of American Airlines was in 4516, nearly 11 times its daily average this year.
The insurance industry, also considered to be severely affected by the effects of terrorist attacks, was the scene of similar events with put options ˝ ˝. Citigroup, which has a large branch in the field of insurance and insurance broker Marsh & McLennan Cos. accumulated volume of put options ˝ ˝ abnormally high just days before the attacks. [...]
buyers ˝ ˝ options could have made huge profits. Najarian, the Chicago trader, noted that 1535 ˝ ˝ put options purchased the day before the attack ˝ allowed the buyer to sell 153,500 shares at $ 30 ˝. When the value of the stock of American (Airlines) fell, the owner of these options could ˝ ˝ touched $ 1.7 million.
Several million dollars have been made with similar ˝ ˝ put options on markets here and abroad. K7 [...]»
first clarified an important element. Anyone who knows minimally functioning stock market knows that it is simply impossible to compromise anything, securities or options could ˝ ˝, without having first opened an account in good standing with a broker, which means it provide identification and other personal details and complete, valid and verifiable. This makes it very easy for investigators, especially government, to trace any investor.
observe then that the San Francisco Gate reported in this issue two weeks later.
"Investors still have not claimed more than $ 2.5 million of profits with options on the title of United Airlines before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to a source familiar with the market area of trade.
unclaimed money raises suspicions that the investors - whose identities and nationalities were not released - were aware of the coming attacks.
˝ Usually if a person has an opportunity like this, it takes money and runs away ˝, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. ˝ No matter who did it, she did not believe that markets would be closed for four days.
˝ ˝ It smells very bad.
˝ [...] The local and foreign authorities have released any of the conclusions they reached and refuse to discuss this issue. [...]
The source familiar with the transaction on United [Airlines] has identified the German Bank Alex Brown, the investment banking division of U.S. giant German Deutsche Bank, as the investment bank used to buy at least some of the options. Rohini Pragasam, spokeswoman for the bank declined comment. [...]» K3
We learn Consequently, the authorities had reached conclusions about the identity of investors, but they refused to make public. The last paragraph also tells us a first track, the latter pointing to a division of investment banking, not Arab or Pakistani, but rather Western - Germano-American to be exact.
Fast forward again two weeks later. An article published October 14, 2001 in the respected The Independent UK we learned even more about the German bank Alex Brown.
"Speculators actions have not claimed $ 2.5 million in profits due to falling share prices of United Airlines after the attacks of 11 September.
The fact that money is still unclaimed more than a month later renewed the curiosity of investors in a story dismissed as coincidence.
It is possible that investors who were able to skillfully predict whether the collapse of share price, are reluctant to appear as if they were taking advantage of the tragedy. But investigators now wonder if there is not a more sinister explanation. [...]
New details about the transactions that have generated significant profits as a result of the attacks were disclosed. To the embarrassment of investigators, it was revealed that the firm was used to buy more of the options could ˝ ˝ - where a buyer actually put on the falling price of a share - on the title United Airlines was headed until 1998 by ˝ ˝ Buzzy Krongard, now executive director of the CIA.
Until 1997, Mr Krongard was chairman of Alex Brown Inc..'s Oldest investment banking firm in America. Alex Brown was acquired by Bankers Trust, which in turn was bought by Deutsche Bank. In his last job before resigning to take his executive position at the CIA, he headed the Bankers Trust - a business client personnel Alex Brown, in charge of accounts and investments of wealthy customers around the world.
There is no suggestion that Mr Krongard was aware of the coming attacks. [...]
It's not just airlines that were targeted by remarkably savvy investors. One of the largest tenants of the World Trade Center was the investment bank Morgan Stanley. In the first week of September, an average of 27 contracts of put options ˝ ˝ was purchased each day on their share price. The total for the three days preceding the attack was in 2157. Merrill Lynch, another WTC tenant, saw 12,215 put options ˝ ˝ be purchased in the four days preceding the attacks, while the day before showed a daily average of 252 contracts. "K6
Let's be objective and avoid jumping to conclusions. After all, you do not tell us that Buzzy Krongard himself made the purchase of these options could ˝ ˝, but that people who bought them did so through a bank as directed Krongard until 1998. Note however that after three years of service as an advisor to the director of the CIA, Krongard was then appointed executive director of that agency in March 2001 (W102).
also mention in passing the coincidental departure of a key player in the Deutsche Bank immediately after the events of 11 September, as reported by The New York Times September 15, 2001.
"Deutsche Bank AG, the largest bank in Europe, announced that Mayo Shattuck III has just given up his post as director of the division of investment banking United States, Alex Brown. [...]» W211
What timing! This coincidence, superimposed on the refusal of the investigators discuss the case of 'put options' or to disclose the identity of investors for more than seven years later, added to the unusually high volumes of' put options on securities of companies with offices in the World Trade Center, all this does is it not very strange?
We open a parenthesis to also observe the particular view of that Buzzy Krongard about a possible capture of Osama bin Laden. His remarks were published in The London Times on January 9, 2005.
"The world may benefit from what Osama bin Laden is not captured, as the Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recently off. If the most wanted terrorist on the planet is captured or killed, a struggle for power among his subordinates to Al Qaeda could unleash a wave of terrorist attacks, said AB Krongard Buzzy, who resigned three weeks ago in the third highest office of the CIA.
˝ Arguably we are in a better position with him (at large) ˝, Krongard said. Because ˝ if something happens to bin Laden, you could find many people who would vie for his position by showing how powerful they are triggering a wave of terror.
˝
Krongard, a former investor banker who joined the CIA in 1998, said Bin Laden's role among Islamic militants was changing. [...]» W105
So Mr. Krongard says that if bin Laden is captured or killed, the terrorist threat is accentuated. However, governments do not they tell us that as long as free will, the terrorist threat is omnipresent?
*****
Returning on the famous 'put options'. Since no one could predict that the World Trade Center collapse, the terrorists obviously did not exception. At that time, it was logical for them to go to place ˝ ˝ put options on securities from tenants of the complex, as the bank Morgan Stanley for example?
On second thought, it also seems illogical for anyone to expose themselves to light by buying stock options that may be linked directly to the attacks. Unless, of course, know the people needed to be assured of not being disturbed thereafter. For all practical purposes, it is also precisely what happened. Investigators refused to discuss the matter and made no arrest in this case.
However, another interesting idea is worthy of mention, although it has received little attention in spring 2002. Here is an excerpt from the New York daily Newsday mail, dated May 29, 2002.
"In a criminal proceeding over which hovers the specter of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, prosecutors revealed yesterday that confidential information had was discovered during the excavation of the property of a former FBI agent allegedly being part of a conspiracy to insider stock traders.
The sensational revelation was made by the U.S. Attorney Kenneth Breen in the County Court in Brooklyn American at the arraignment of Lynn Wingate, who was placed on administrative leave by the FBI and the former agent Jeffrey Royer have been involved in an extortion conspiracy related to stock transactions. [...]
Royer, 39, who left the FBI in December 2001, is accused of having obtained confidential information from the agency during and after he was employed by it, and to have provided to Amr I. Elgindy. Alleged informer on Wall Street and the renowned seller of stock shares (put option), Elgindy was charged Friday to be at the heart of the conspiracy.
Without elaborating in court yesterday, but Breen said the findings were confidential information that Royer had no legitimate reason to possess and could lead to something more ˝ ˝ seriously.
The prosecution alleges that the defendants have participated in a conspiracy to insider stock trading in which Royer allegedly leaked confidential FBI information to Elgindy then realized that transactions based on such information. The indictment also mentions that when Royer left the FBI, he continued to have access to confidential FBI files through the Wingate, 34.
Elgindy, 34, was held without bail. At a hearing in San Diego last week, Breen said Elgindy attempted to liquidate the bank accounts of her children on Sept. 10 could ˝ ˝ possibly mean ˝ he possessed inside information about the attacks of 11 September and that rather than report them, he tried to take advantage of this information ˝.
Defense Counsel, Jeanne G. Knight laughed at this suggestion and said it was an attempt by prosecutors to tarnish the reputation of Elgindy, a U.S. citizen born in Egypt, with hints of terrorism ˝ ˝. "W45
Is it not revealing Amr I. Elgindy, a stock trader having direct links with two FBI agents, has desired empty the account of his children the day before September 11?
The New York Times, the balance of this account amounted to $ 300 000. In addition, Mr. Elgindy said the broker in the afternoon of September 10 as stock markets were on the verge of collapse.
"[...] During the conversation of 10 September, Mr. Elgindy predicted that the Dow Jones Industrial Index, which showed about 9600 to now, would soon collapse under the 3000, said Breen. [...]» W46
The outcome of this trial finally took place January 24, 2005. Here an excerpt from the Associated Press story about this.
"A former FBI agent and an adviser stock over the Internet were found guilty Monday of having used government computers to obtain confidential information they used to manipulate the stock market. The former agent
Jeffrey Royer was convicted of engaging in blackmail, guilty of securities fraud, obstruction of justice and bribe a witness, for leaking details of FBI investigations and criminal past leaders to Anthony Elgindy, a stock trader based in San Diego.
Mr. Elgindy was convicted of engaging in blackmail, extortion and securities fraud for his role in the conspiracy. [...]
Mr. Royer has even informed the Egyptian-born financial analyst to an FBI investigation into whether he had profited from inside information about the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 by selling shares that collapsed after the attacks, prosecutors said. Mr. Elgindy was not charged in this investigation. [...]» W47
other words, a guilty verdict was returned on all counts except the main allegations relating to 11 September, which were rejected. Would not it interesting how Mr. Elgindy had been predicting the collapse of stock markets a day before the attacks, whether it was through the agent Royer, who was nevertheless convicted him of leaking details of FBI investigations?
It goes without saying that a conviction for the use of inside information about the arrival of the September 11 attacks had the effect not only to incriminate Mr. Elgindy but also the FBI whole ... which explains well why the judge has decided not to venture into the field as slippery.
fact remains that the audience can enjoy more than seven years after September 11 without knowing the identity of investors 'put options' lack of cooperation and transparency on the part of investigators and the U.S. government. The indications, however, allow us to profile more closely resembling that of insiders with ties to the secret services of the United States, than that of Arab extremists hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan. After
all, is there not a safe bet that if investigators had discovered that a certain Mohammed Al something, associate of bin Laden, was the mysterious owner of the put options ˝ ˝, discovery would have immediately been publicly disclosed and the papers would then loudly proclaimed everywhere?
mention here one of the few but important developments in the investigation into the 'put options' by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission - Commission of the Fund Shares and Stock). Having received very little attention, this story was reported by The San Francisco Chronicle in its issue of October 19, 2001.
"In order to simplify its investigation of financial activities suspected of having links with terrorism, the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday called for investment firms to participate in a system of innovative information sharing involving members Key financial community.
the unprecedented step, which is aligned with other requests made to the financial services industry in the wake of the September 11 attacks, appears as an important refinement in federal efforts to pursue the money trail.
The SEC has previously declined to comment on the nature and scope of its investigation, but it is clear that potentially large number of stock transactions on companies who have been affected by the attacks are seen as worthy of close scrutiny . [...]
The gesture yesterday the SEC comes after a period of silence from authorities about his activities investigated. [...]
The proposed system, which would take office immediately, effectively delegate hundreds if not thousands of key players in the public sector. [...]
In a statement issued two pages ˝ all entities related to actions ˝ country's stock market, the SEC requires companies to designate senior personnel who recognize the sensitivity ˝ ˝ file, on which it can be trusted to apply the appropriate discretion ˝ ˝ to act as individuals serving ˝ ˝ links between government investigators and industry. [...]» W53
At first glance, the maneuver may seem trivial. However, when we hear Michael Ruppert, former Los Angeles police officer familiar with this procedure, discuss the direct result This 'delegation' of senior staff, some pieces of the puzzle then take place. So here are the words of Michael Ruppert, drawn from his book Crossing the Rubicon.
"[...] When a person is delegated to a criminal investigation, or affecting national security, then it's illegal for that person to publicly reveal what she knows. It's a brilliant maneuver. Ultimately, they [the delegates] to become agents of government are controlled by government regulations rather than by their own conscience. In Indeed, they can be jailed without any hearing if they speak publicly. I saw this threat implied several times during federal investigations, officers of the intelligence services and even members of Congress who are bound so tightly by secrecy agreements and certain they are not able to reveal the criminal activities within government for fear of being imprisoned. [...]» W54
That might explain why a tight discretion surrounding the topic of 'put options' since the fall of 2001. Therefore, it is to TBRNews, an alternative news service (not corporate), that we must turn to try to lift the veil on this matter.
"Between August 26 and September 11, 2001, a group of speculators, identified by the American Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] as Israeli citizens sold ˝ ˝ a short list of 38 securities whose value was reasonably expected to fall following the attacks that would soon occur. Speculators have made on the stock markets of Toronto, Canada, and Frankfurt, Germany, and their profits were specifically quantified in ˝ ˝ million. [...]
Lynn Howard, a spokesman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information on those who had performed the transaction was immediately available. [...]
Howard continued, ˝ The system is so smart that even if a new event occurs and triggers on the market, you can go back in time and the parameters can be modified to adjust to what we interested. It's a very clever system and instantaneous. [...] The firm performs transactions and that a member must have verifiable information about the client under regulation 'Know your customer' (and we share all information with the SEC) ˝.
Given all this, at a minimum the CBOE and government regulators who conduct secret investigations have known for some time the identity of those who placed the "put options on a total of 38 titles which could be reasonably anticipate the abrupt loss of value following an attack similar to September 11. The silence on the part of investigators could mean several things: Either terrorists are responsible for the 'put options' placed on the securities listed, or else others that the terrorists had information about the coming of the attack and used them to harvest a good stash in the back of the tragedy. [...]
It has been reported by the Interdisciplinary Center, a team of specialists cons-terrorism involving former agents of Israeli intelligence, that insiders made profits of nearly $ 16 million by selling ˝ ˝ short titles of American and United Airlines, two airlines used in the attacks, and the investment firm Morgan Stanley, which occupied 22 floors in the WTC.
Apparently, none of the suspicious transactions could lead to bin Laden since the subject of news has quietly eclipsed, leaving many to wonder if they did not lead to firms or U.S. intelligence agencies .
Most transactions passed first by the German Bank AB. Brown, a firm headed until 1998 by AB "Buzzy" Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA. [...]» W55
Is not it unusual that more than seven years after the events, this article from a service new alternatives is he who comes closest to the identity of certain individuals who made suspicious stock market transactions? While it is undeniable that the credibility of alternative news services is generally not as recognized as that of corporate media, whether wrongly or rightly, however, it appeared important to cite this article as it appears to be the only to indicate a probable origin in the famous 'put options', a group of Israeli speculators. We shall return to a little further on the part of Israel. Let
then this article from Washington Post, dated November 8, 2001, which reported that the owner of the brokerage firm First Equity Enterprises, whose premises were located on the fifteenth floor of the south tower of World Trade Center, was accused of fleeing with more than 100 million belonging to investors.
"Over 100 million dollars from accounts managed by a brokerage house World Trade Center were reported missing in the days following the terrorist attacks, according to a lawsuit.
The lawsuit filed by Dirk Karreman, Queensland, Australia, accuses the owner Andre Koudachev First Equity Enterprises ˝ and other administrators have spent or have saved (with money) in an unknown location currently ˝.
The $ 108 million belonging to 1,400 investors from 14 countries, reported several foreign media. [...]
According to court documents filed Wednesday, the directors have informed the investor 11 days after the terrorist attacks that Koudachev had disappeared with the investors' money and they do ˝ ˝ never see him again. [...]
Koudachev is a Russian citizen who has lived in Moscow for the past two years, said his lawyer, Nathaniel Marmur. He left New York shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks that destroyed the offices of the brokerage on the 15th floor of the Trade Center. [...]» W129
The German daily Der Spiegel approached him about the subject more directly.
"The robbers were as reckless as cunning. Shortly before their escape from the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, the directors of foreign currency from the First Equity Enterprises were enriched 100 million.
Fear and chaos prevailed in lower Manhattan that morning: smoke, fire, people screaming, emergency vehicles, the police. But people around the boss of First Equity, on the 15th floor of World Trade Center, worked quickly and accurately, feverishly emptying the accounts of their clients before leaving the building. Their prize: about 225 million Deutsche Marks. That
events, investigators believe New York, which must have taken place within minutes that preceded the collapse of the South Tower. According to U.S. media reports, all employees of First Equity has managed to leave the place safe. However, since the day of the attacks, the director and some senior members staff of the company founded just four years ago remain unaccounted for. And $ 105 million as well. [...]» W130
To date, Andre Koudachev is considered a fugitive and would be in Russia. A total of eight directors of First Equity Enterprises and Evergreen International Spot Trading, a company affiliate, were eventually convicted of charges related to tax evasion amounting to more than $ 100 million (W145). Strangely, however, no mention was made of whether inside information on the attacks of September 11 were used in the plot.
The leak
Koudachev in Russia, immediately after the attacks, and the time wisely chose to empty customers' accounts raise some questions though. Koudachev was he aware of the coming attacks, or had he been informed of the collapse of the twin towers? It seems that American justice does not think it useful to dwell on the topic, or otherwise, that the media brought it not.
continue with a side story similar, also involving a sum of over $ 100 million. Curiously, huge sums of money were suddenly transported through PC World Trade Center just moments before the planes did collide with the towers.
is what brought an article from Reuters, December 17, 2001.
"German computer experts are working tirelessly to shed light on an unexplained significant increase in financial transactions completed just before two hijacked planes crashed not into the World Trade Center in New York on September 11.
Criminals are they responsible for the sudden increase in credit card transactions that were routed through the computer systems of the World Trade Center shortly before the planes did collide with the twin towers?
Or was it coincidence that unusually large sums of money, possibly more than $ 100 million, were rushed into computers as the disaster unfolded?
world leader in data recovery, the German firm Convar attempts to answer these questions by helping credit card companies, telecommunications firms and accountants in New York to retrieve their archives on hard drives computers that were partially damaged by fire, water or fine dust.
Using technology in innovative laser decryption to access the data on damaged computer hard drives, on the central systems found in the rubble of the World Trade Center and other buildings collapsed around, Convar recovered information from 32 computers supporting the hypothesis of dishonest transactions in the disaster.
˝ The suspicion is that inside information on the attacks was used to execute commands on financial transactions and authorizations believer to take advantage of the chaos, at least, benefit a good head start ˝, said Peter Henschel, director of Convar. [...]
˝ It may be that Americans are allowed to go to a shopping spree at the most complete on Tuesday morning. But at this point, there are several transactions that can not be explained ˝ said Henschel.
˝ It is not only the volume but also the size of the transactions was far higher than usual for a day like this. There is a question they may have been planned to take advantage of the chaos.
˝
Richard [...] Wagner, an expert in data recovery for the company, said illegal transfers of more than 100 million had possibly been completed immediately before and during the disaster.
˝ It is a question that some people took advantage of inside information on the approximate time when the planes crashing in order to withdraw amounts in excess of $ 100 million ˝, said Wagner. ˝ They believed that the records of their transactions could not be traced after the central systems have been destroyed.
˝ [...] ˝ The contamination rate is high. The fine dust that was everywhere in the area was compacted under high pressure into the drives. But we've still been able to recover 100 percent of the data on most hard drives we received ˝ (Henschel said).
˝ We help them to discover as soon as possible what happened with the computers on September 11. I am sure that one day we will learn what happened with the money. ˝ "K2
Several new interesting features are found in this article. Note first that To date, no investigation results have yet emerged publicly in this matter, despite the fact that the director of Convar said in December 2001 have recovered almost all of the data.
But the most improbable in this story is the assumption that terrorists have planned to take advantage of the destruction of the central processing of credit cards at the World Trade Center. Why is it unlikely? Because to do so, terrorists should first be assured that these systems would be destroyed. Would they have been so bold as to describe precisely the bomber on which floor of the tower it was crashing? Should we mention once again that nobody expected that the buildings collapsed, and therefore, without the total destruction of the towers, it became necessary that the Boeing struck precisely where the floor was located central system to destroy it.
Assuming that Arab terrorists are really behind the attacks, the foundation already masterfully complex only by their timing, would not it more likely that they were largely satisfied to successfully hijack four planes and then reach their targets, rather than burdened by more than one component of financial fraud daring worthy of the worst villains of the 007 series?
Even an objective observer, such a plot does not look like it does not further the work of individuals familiar with the workings of the U.S. financial system, and most importantly, people know that the towers would collapse?
*****
's continue by establishing a parallel between this story and the next. While the previous article dealt among other data recovery on hard drives Computer twin towers, paradoxically, comes next cast doubt on the government's official version, claiming that none of the four black boxes ˝ ˝ flights 11 and 175 having recessed into the World Trade Center were not found . You will understand the parallel soon enough.
At two per aircraft, these black boxes, specially made to withstand the worst shocks and scenarios, are used to record flight data and discussions in the cockpit. Before you continue with the following excerpt, let us first official version in this regard Quote what is on page 456 of the report of the Committee of Inquiry on September 11.
"[...] In accordance with FAA regulations, the cockpit voice recorder in the cockpit of United Flight 93 has recorded the last 31 minutes of audio in the cockpit via microphones in headphones and drivers in the top panel of instruments. It [the cockpit voice recorder] is the only one of four hijacked airplanes to survive the impact and ensuing fires. The CVRS (Cockpit Voice Recorder) and FDR (Flight Data Recorder) American Flight 11 and United 175 do were not found, and the CVR American 77 was badly burned and not recoverable. W2 [...]»
This annotation included in lowercase letters at the end of the report, is in fact the only reference to these black boxes not found. Is not it odd that a total of eight black boxes virtually indestructible, only three have been recovered (the two flight recorders 93 and the flight data recorder at the Pentagon)?
Now consider this excerpt from an article published by AFP (American Free Press) December 12, 2004.
"A rescue worker September 11 has recently emerged from obscurity by saying that FBI agents had told him to shut ˝ ˝ about one of the black boxes had helped a fellow firefighter to locate at ground zero ˝ ˝, which contradicts the official story that none of the flight data recorders and cockpit have been recovered from the debris of the World Trade Center (WTC).
Honorary firefighter Mike Bellone The claims he was approached by unidentified agents of the agency shortly after he and his partner, Nicholas DeMasi, a New York fireman retired had found three of the four black boxes through the debris of the WTC before January 2002.
The duo had first revealed the discovery data recorders in a book titled ˝ Behind the Scenes: Ground Zero ˝ published in August 2003.
DeMasi said that the black boxes were discovered when he traveled ˝ ˝ ground zero on his all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with three federal agents.
officials from the FBI and the Fire Department of New York City have denied having recovered the flight data recorders and cockpit.
Bellone now claims that the officers were adamant about the need to keep that confidential discovery.
˝ They confronted me and told me not to tell ˝, recalled Bellone, referring to one of three boxes marked with red-orange with two white stripes that he had seen at the Rear ATV DeMasi. ˝ I said, 'Give me one good reason'. Seeing that they were incapable, I told them I would not keep silent.
˝ ˝ Why should I? I have nothing to hide and nothing to gain. It the truth, and Nick and I maintain our version from the start.
˝
Bellone said he and DeMasi are not the only emergency employees to have seen the black boxes. He says there are several other witnesses and he knows they have been silenced by federal agents. [...]
asked if DeMasi and Bellone had been questioned or subpoenaed, the spokesman of the Committee [Investigation on September 11], Al Felzenberg, said ˝ I can not tell you now if it was one of 1,200 people with whom we maintained or if the book is one of many that we examined. We explored all avenues, but I will know if we talked with him and I will come back.
˝
Bellone said that members of the committee have never contacted nor DeMasi, and that 'they never asked them to appear before the panel despite the fact that their book was published well before the hearings began. [...]
Both recorders [cockpit voice and flight data] are designed to withstand enormous impact and heat. Officials of the National Security Transportation Board (NTSB) said they must have survived the conditions of the WTC.
And find the black boxes after a crash seems to be the normal procedure, according to the NTSB.
˝ It is extremely rare that we do not recover recorders ˝, said NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz. ˝ I can not remember another case where we do not recover the recorders. [...]» ˝ W3
More and more interesting. Following this story, we must first deduce that only two scenarios are possible: either DeMasi and Bellone telling the truth in claiming to have saw the black boxes, or they lied. Add after checking, the official report of the Committee on September 11 actually does not mention these two emergency employees. A commission of inquiry worthy of the name she would not have been interested in the incredible statements of these individuals?
Now the reason for the parallel mentioned earlier. For the sake of argument, start from the assumption that DeMasi and Bellone lie, which preserves intact version of the U.S. government wanted the black boxes were never found. Then superimpose this history computer data recovered from damaged hard drives and see where this takes us.
First, it is important to remember that the Reuters article remained vague on the original location of computers survivors, whether they came from the twin towers themselves or related buildings . However, in both cases, the improbability of the thing can be highlighted by a simple argument. Initially, if the computers were in neighboring buildings of the two towers, would it not have been illogical for terrorists to rush transactions in these systems while the targets were planes into the twin towers?
Following this reasoning, we must assume in order to be able to blame the terrorists for these transactions, the computers in question were located somewhere inside the two towers, logically in a vulnerable spot to be reached by planes, since presumably, part of the plan of the terrorists was to destroy these systems to allow impunity to carry out their fraud. Inevitably, then, computers had to be located in financial Twin Towers that terrorists are responsible for the sudden flow of transactions. Otherwise, why throw millions of dollars into these systems if intact, then would lead directly to blame?
Therefore, this leaves us with the absurdity unequivocal situation: it was both possible to recover data in the rubble of computer hard drives - on tiny electronic circuits and vulnerable - but still impossible to find none of the four black boxes, which are meant to withstand the most hellish.
course there is the possibility that the claims DeMasi and Bellone is accurate, in which case ...
But continuing this analysis with this short excerpt from article from the Associated Press, published September 16, 2001 and confirmed by the BBC (G4) and several other media, which informed us of a startling discovery.
"The passport of one of the suspected terrorists was discovered near the ruins of the World Trade Center, authorities said Saturday as rescue workers spent combing the debris in a fruitless search for signs of life.
Assistant FBI Director Barry Mawn did not disclose the name on the passport or other details, but the discovery has led to intensive research evidence spanning quadrilaterals neighboring towers that were destroyed in Tuesday's terrorist attacks involving two hijacked planes. [...]» G6
Thus, it seems that we are asked to believe that the passport of one of the terrorists survived the disaster - like the hard drives financial - but no the four black boxes supposedly indestructible was not as strong. Would still have to check what materials are printed on the passport Saudi, it is certain that one can easily imagine one of them being expelled from the bag or the pocket of the terrorist to survive the huge ball of fire occurred during the impact and whirl until finally 'that it is out of danger, asking only to be picked by an FBI sleuth.
But the black boxes, on the other? Lost forever. Missing. Volatilized. All four!
add that, incredible as it may seem, the same scenario happened again at the Pentagon. Here's a short excerpt from Chapter 2 of the 'Monograph on 9 / 11 and terrorist travel' presented by the commission investigating the attacks.
"[...] A 'student identity card of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bearing the name of [Majed] Moqed was found in the rubble at the Pentagon. [...]» W143
While it was difficult to locate debris from the plane itself, and one of the two black boxes from Flight 77 was sufficiently damaged to the point of making unusable, it would seem that this identity card is on it remained in fairly good condition so we can read the name of the terrorist Majed Moqed. And where do you think this information was in the Commission document? In footnotes page, at the very last page of the chapter, in lowercase.
Will we then be surprised to learn that the visa of the terrorist Ziad Jarrah, who was supposedly on Flight 93, was also found on the crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania? Remember the pictures taken in this field, it was difficult to discern any debris. It seems however that the visa Jarrah survived the disaster, as reported in CNN.
"[...] The Committee [investigation] has released photos of visas to terrorists - including the charred remains of Ziad Jarrah's visa, solved through the wreckage of United Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. [...]» L6
I do not know what you think, but from my side, my decision is: I will build my next home-based visas and Saudi passports!
