German computer experts are working around
the clock to unlock the truth behind an unexplained surge in financial
transactions made just before two hijacked planes crashed into New York's
World Trade Center Sept. 11.
Were criminals responsible for the sharp rise
in credit card transactions that moved through some computer systems at the
center shortly before the planes hit the twin towers? Or was it coincidence
that unusually large sums of money, perhaps more than $100 million, were
rushed through the computers as the disaster unfolded?
A world leader in retrieving data, German-based firm Convar is trying to answer those questions and help credit card
companies, telecommunications firms and accountants in New York recover
records from computer hard drives that have been partially damaged by fire,
water or fine dust.
Using a pioneering laser scanning technology to
find data on damaged computer hard drives and main frames found in the rubble
of the World Trade Center and other nearby collapsed buildings, Convar has
recovered information from 32 computers that support assumptions of dirty
doomsday dealings.
"The suspicion is that inside information
about the attack was used to send financial transaction commands and
authorizations in the belief that amid all the chaos the criminals would
have, at the very least, a good head start," said Convar director Peter
Henschel.
"Of course it is also possible that there
were perfectly legitimate reasons for the unusual rise in business
volume," he told Reuters in an interview.
PROFITING FROM DISASTER?
"It could turn out
that Americans went on an absolute shopping binge on that Tuesday
morning. But at this point there are many transactions that cannot be
accounted for,'' Henschel said.
"Not only the volume
but the size of the transactions was far higher than usual for a day
like that. There is a suspicion that these were possibly planned to take
advantage of the chaos.''
Nearly 3,300 people were killed in the attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center.
Some 30,000 people in
the buildings, symbols of America's financial might, were able to
escape between the time the planes crashed and about an hour later when
they collapsed -- even though many of the unmanned computers continued
working.
The United States
blames the al Qaeda group led by Saudi-born Osama bin Laden for the
attack and has since waged war on the Taliban regime in Afghanistan that
sheltered them.
There are several
data-retrieval companies in the United States and Europe, but Convar
said it has won the lion's share of the contracts from the World Trade
Center because of its laser scanning technology.
Convar developed the laser scanner two years ago that made it possible to retrieve data from badly damaged computers.
With a staff of 30 in
its high-security facility in Pirmasens near the French border, the
firm has worked with the U.S. armed forces in Germany as well as German
federal police for the last 15 years.
Its offices in
Pirmasens, a town of 36,000 still suffering from the departure of some
4,000 American soldiers stationed here during the Cold War, are closely
guarded behind high fences and monitored by dozens of security cameras.
Inside the building,
an endless series of code-operated door locks keeps unwelcome visitors
away. In the center of the facility is a 1,292 square foot, dust-free
"clean room" where the damaged computer drives are coaxed back to life.
Citing client
privacy, Henschel declined to say which companies Convar is working for,
or provide details about the data retrieved so far. But he said the raw
material, up to 40 gigabytes per computer hard drive, is sent
immediately by satellite or courier back to New York.
MONEY TRAIL
Richard Wagner, a
data retrieval expert at the company, said illegal transfers of more
than $100 million might have been made immediately before and during the
disaster.
"There is a suspicion
that some people had advance knowledge of the approximate time of the
plane crashes in order to move out amounts exceeding $100 million,''
Wagner said. "They thought that the records of their transactions could
not be traced after the main frames were destroyed.''
The companies are paying between $20,000 and $30,000 for each computer recovered, Henschel said.
The high recovery
costs are one reason why only a limited number of hard drives are being
examined. Convar has turned down a request by one British newspaper to
try to recover personal last hour e-mails sent by someone trapped in the
doomed building.
Henschel said the
companies in the United States were working together with the FBI to
piece together what happened Sept 11 and that he was confident the
destination of the dubious transactions would one day be tracked down.
"We have been quite surprised that so many of the hard drives were in good enough shape to retrieve the data,'' he said.
"The contamination
rate is high. The fine dust that was everywhere in the area got pressed
under high pressure into the drives. But we've still been able to
retrieve 100 percent of the data on most of the drives we've received.
"We're helping them
find out what happened to the computers Sept 11 as quickly as possible.
I'm sure that one day they will know what happened to the money.''

Black Eagle Trust Fund
The 9/11 Attacks and the Black Eagle Trust Fund
"On
that fateful day [9/11], the Securities and Exchange Commission
declared a national emergency, and for the first time in U.S. history, invoked its emergency powers
under Securities Exchange Act Section 12(k) easing regulatory
restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next 15
days. These changes would allow an estimated $240 billion
in covert government securities to be cleared upon maturity without the
standard regulatory controls around identification of ownership."
Dear friends,
Few people are aware of the huge Black Eagle Trust fund, let alone its critical relation to the 9/11 attacks. A
brilliant summary of excellent information regarding this covert fund
compiled by meticulous researcher E.P. Heidner ties together many
previously unexplained threads in the 9/11 mystery in ways that are most
compelling.
Heidner
presents volumes of solid evidence to support his thesis that one of
the main reasons for the attacks was to cover up the laundering of over
$200 billion in bonds from this secretive fund that were to come due
the day after 9/11.
Serious
9/11 researchers will likely be most grateful for the revealing
connections in this careful research made between seemingly unconnected
parts of the 9/11 story and the many people and organizations involved.
Those less familiar with the 9/11 cover-up will almost certainly
appreciate the broad overview given and the hidden history behind it
all. If we follow the money, a lot of unexplained things begin to make
sense.

electronic financial transactions conducted from inside the WTC just
before the towers collapsed. Yet the investigation results are being
kept secret.
Collateral Damage: U.S. Covert Operations and the Terrorist Attacks on 9/11
The
September 11th attacks were likely meant as a cover-up for financial
crimes being investigated by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI),
whose offices in the Pentagon were destroyed on September 11th. [1] The
attacks ... were intended to cover-up the clearing of $240 billion
dollars in securities covertly created in September 1991 to fund a
covert economic war against the Soviet Union, during which 'unknown'
western investors bought up much of the Soviet industry, with a focus on
oil and gas.
The
9/11 attacks also served to derail multiple Federal investigations
of crimes associated with the 1991 covert operation. Hundreds of
billions of dollars of government securities had to be destroyed. A
critical mass of brokers from the major government security
brokerages in the Twin Towers had to be eliminated to create chaos in
the government securities market. A situation needed to be created
wherein $240 billion dollars of covert securities could be electronically "cleared"
without anyone asking questions – which happened when the Federal
Reserve declared an emergency and invoked its "emergency powers" that
very afternoon. [4]
Where to Find Footnotes: To explore the excellent footnotes for the this article, see the end of full essay available here. As this is a summary, foot notes are not sequential.
There
were three major securities brokers in the World Trade Center: Cantor
Fitzgerald, Eurobrokers and Garbon Inter Capital. Cantor Fitzgerald was
the largest securities dealer in the US [7] and arguably the primary
target. [8] 41% of the fatalities in the Twin Towers came from Cantor
Fitzgerald and Eurobrokers. [13] 24% of the 125 fatalities in the
Pentagon were from the Naval Command Center that housed the Office of Naval Intelligence. 29 of 30
Office of Naval Intelligence employees died. The Naval Command Center
had been moved into that newly opened section of the Pentagon only a
month earlier. [21] And in the vaults beneath the World Trade Center
Towers, any certificates for bonds were destroyed. [14]
On
that fateful day, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared a
national emergency, and for the first time in U.S. history, invoked its emergency powers
under Securities Exchange Act Section 12(k) easing regulatory
restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next 15
days. These changes would allow an estimated $240 billion in covert
government securities to be cleared upon maturity without the standard
regulatory controls around identification of ownership. [19]
The Origins of the World Trade Center Attack
Emboldened by the lack of consequences for subverting the U.S. constitution and breaking international law during the Iran-Contra scandal
of the 1980s, a Bush administration group known as "the Vulcans"
planned a bigger drive to crush Communism once and for all. They waged
war against the Soviet Union and Iraq under George H.W. Bush, and
against Iraq and Afghanistan under George W. Bush. Belonging to this
group were Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz,
Richard Armitage, and Condoleezza Rice. [31]
The
Vulcan's drive to bring an end to the Cold War was fueled by a covert
war chest invisible to congressional oversight. [32] This war chest
would be known by several names: Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos gold,
Yamashita's Gold, the Golden Lily Treasure, the Durham Trust or
Project Hammer. [33] The program also seems to have lined the
pockets of the individuals that executed this policy. This was done to
the tune of a staggering $240 billion dollars in covert and allegedly
illegal bonds, which appear to have been replaced with Treasury notes
backed by U.S. taxpayers in the aftermath of September 11.
The
covert securities used to accomplish the national security objective
of ending the Cold War ended up in the vaults of the brokers in the
World Trade Center, and were destroyed on September 11, 2001. [36] They
came due for settlement and clearing on September 12. The federal
Agency investigating these bonds – The Office of Naval Intelligence –
was in the section of the Pentagon that was destroyed on 9/11. [37]
To
this key group of senior National Security officials called the
Vulcans, who had participated in the victory of the economic cold war in
1991, the WTC, the Pentagon, the four airliners and their occupants
would became 'collateral' damage in the ending of the Cold War. Their
deaths were required to hide the existence of the Black Eagle Trust,
and the covert activities it had funded for over 50 years.
The destruction of these lives and buildings constituted a cover-up
of continued lawlessness by a fraternity or brotherhood of businessmen
and criminals often referred to as 'the Enterprise' in the 1980s,
though it has remained in the shadows since.
Numerous
sources have documented that at the end of WWII, the treasury of the
Japanese Empire was discovered in the Philippines by a staff member of
General Charles Willoughby, [Edward Lansdale], who was General
MacArthur's chief of Intelligence. Then known as the Golden Lily Treasure,
this mass of wealth had been accumulated by the Japanese through over
fifty years of pillaging by its army in Southeast Asia and China. It
was deposited in the Philippines due to the U.S. submarine blockade of
Japan. Reports vary, but documents in the public domain suggest
the recovered treasure was in excess of 280,000 metric tonnes of
gold, not including jewels and diamonds. [40] After the War
[Lansdale] tortured Major Kojima Kashii – General Yamashita Tomoyuki's
driver – until he revealed and created a map of the gold sites. [41]
Lansdale briefed Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy about the findings, and a U.S. Cabinet level decision
was made to confiscate the gold and cover-up its discovery. The gold would be added to the Black Eagle Trust fund. It was McCloy, along with Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson who created the Black Eagle Trust. [42]
John McCloy, who had shared a box at the 1936 Olympics with Adolph Hitler, went on to become President of the World Bank. Robert Anderson would go on to operate the Commercial Exchange Bank in the British West Indies, be convicted of running illegal banking operations and tax evasion, and be sentenced to prison. [43] A fourth member of that group – William 'Wild Bill' Donovan – would go on to found the CIA and distribute the gold to key banks represented by his staffers.
The
trust they created takes its name from the Nazi Black Eagle stamped on
the gold bars of the Third Reich. Gold bullion confiscated from the
Reich and not returned to its rightful owners and their heirs was the
original source of funding for this trust. [44] Over the years, the
significance of the Nazi gold would pale in comparison to the
confiscated Japanese treasure.
The
men responsible for initiating and executing the confiscation of Nazi
and Japanese treasury gold represented the most senior Intelligence
officers in the U.S. and Britain at the end of World War II, and the
Cabinet of the President of the United States. The financial
institutions represented by these individuals would become the major
financial banks in the world, along with the Swiss-German banks they
hid their gold in. The Yamashita gold would become the
cornerstone of the Black Eagle Fund, from which many covert
operations of the U.S. intelligence would be funded. [58]
Lansdale's
operation in the Philippines gave birth to most of the common features
of modern covert operations for U.S. Intelligence: bribery, theft,
torture, and false flag operations.
It would be Lansdale who would initiate a bond between the US
intelligence organizations and Israeli intelligence. It would be
Lansdale that would set precedents for the Intelligence community to
retain the services of organized crime on U.S. soil. Lansdale would hire
American Mafia family heads Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante, Meyer
Lansky, and Lucky Luciano in the U.S. war against Fidel Castro in 1961.
It
would be Lansdale's team that would propose and justify sacrificing
innocent U.S. civilians in order to rally the American citizenry to
support an invasion of foreign soil. This was done under a program run
by Brigadier General William H. Craig, who reported to Lansdale for the
Cuba project. [61] This project was called Operation Northwoods.
Documents for this project would be accidentally released from the files
of Robert McNamara into the public domain some 40 years later, exposing
the degree to which Lansdale's operatives would go to wage war. [62]
These declassified documents
revealed secret plans of the U.S. military to wage a fabricated
"terror" campaign against US citizens as a pretext to justify a second
invasion of Cuba.
Barrick Gold
would become an investment for nearly every gold bullion bank
associated with the Marcos gold recovery. These banks would loan gold to
Barrick, which would then sell the borrowed gold as derivatives, with
the promise of replacing the borrowed gold with their gold mining
operation. The records of many of those transactions disappeared when
Enron collapsed and the trading operation and all its records were taken
over by UBS, another major recipient of Marcos gold. The FBI was
reportedly conducting an investigation into those transactions, and the
investigation files were kept on the 23rd floor of the North Tower of
the WTC. A review of the personal accounts of September 11 now suggests
that office was deliberately targeted with explosives prior to the
collapse of the WTC towers. [73]
Taking Control
In
November 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected to the White House. Sixty-nine
days after the inauguration, John Hinckley attempted to assassinate
President Reagan. Eight days prior to that attempt, there were a series
of unprecedented policy changes that put George Bush in charge of
Foreign Policy and National Security. That conferred new roles
and powers on Bush, including "unprecedented powers for a vice
president." [85] Vice President George Bush was named the leader of the
United States "crisis management'' staff, as a part of the National
Security Council system. [86] Then, on March 30, 1981, just eight days
after these powers were conferred on Bush, President Reagan was shot.
The father of the assassin that put Bush in power was John (a.k.a. Jack) Hinckley, Sr., the owner of Vanderbilt Oil. Hinckley had been giving maximum donations every year to George H.W. Bush since he started running for Congress. In The Black Hole of Guyana: The Untold Story of the Jonestown Massacre, John Judge painstakingly documents that Jonestown was a CIA operation for converting dispossessed and lonely refugees into assassins.
In an operation that was falling under Congressional investigation, the
evidence had to be eliminated – and nearly all the inhabitants were
murdered to prevent disclosure. [88]
A
key player in the Marcos gold would be Banker's Trust, which was taken
over by Alex Brown & Sons, after Banker's Trust floundered
financially on its Russian loans in the mid 1990s. These Russian loans
were facilitated by Enron, starting in August of 1993, and very possibly
were part of the Project Hammer takeover of Soviet industry. Alex
Brown's involvement would bring to the forefront the names of three
names of individuals who would play multiple roles in this mystery: Buzz
Krongard, Mayo Shattuck, and J Carter Beese.
Buzz Krongard
is reported as the mentor of Beese and Shattuck from their years
together at Alex Brown. Additionally, he managed the merger between
Bankers Trust and Deutschebank Alex Brown. Bankers Trust, Zurich was a
key Marcos gold holder. Krongard would move on to become Chairman of
the investment bank A.B. Brown, Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust, and
Executive Director of the CIA at the time of September 11.
Mayo Shattuck
would be reported to be the personal banker for Adnan Khashoggi and
Edgar Bronfmann during their partnership at Barrick Gold. [107] He
would move on to become the CEO of Deutschebank who would resign for
unexplained reasons the day after September 11, and would not be at the
WTC office that day when the tower collapsed. It was his bank that
was identified as the source of the illegal stock options that indicated there was insider trading taking advantage of the September 11 tragedy.
What
happened to the Marcos gold after it was confiscated by U.S. agents in
1986 has never been reported, but throughout the early 1990s, the world
gold market would be befuddled by the mysterious appearance of thousands
of tonnes of gold which appeared to suppress the price of gold.
In
preparation for their war against Communism, and in the years leading
up to the failed – or faux – coup of 1991 which initiated the last days
of Gorbachev and the rise of Yeltsin, Bush and a cadre of rogue KGB
officials built a complex international network of banks and holding
companies that would be used to take over ownership of the Soviet
economy. Over 300 of these KGB turncoats who supported this operation
would later be re-located to the US in the early 1990s and pensioned.
[111] Periodic CIA reports to Congress would review KGB and organized
crime complicity in the takeover of Russia by criminal elements, but all
mention of the formidable role of the U.S. would be expunged from
Congressional oversight and the public record. [112]
In the first phase of the economic attack on the Soviet Union, George Bush authorized Leo Wanta
and others to destabilize the ruble and facilitate the theft of the
Soviet/Russian treasury. This would result in draining the Russian
treasury of between 2,000 to 3,000 tonnes of gold bullion, ($35 billion
at the time). [113] The gold was 'stolen' in March of 1991, facilitated
by Leo Wanta and signed off by Boris Yeltsin's right hand man. The
majority of the leaked reports from the CIA and FBI suggest the theft of
the Russian treasury was a KGB and Communist party operation, but what
those reports omitted was the extensive involvement of Boris Yeltsin,
the U.S. banking industry and the CIA.
In
the second phase, Wanta, George Soros and a group of Bush appointees
would begin to destabilize the ruble. There were two major operations:
the largest was coordinated by Alan Greenspan and Oliver North, and
implemented by Leo Wanta.
The 9/11 Cover-up and the Black Eagle Trust
With
an understanding of the economic war being waged on the Soviet Union,
the focus needs to turn to reports that on September 11, 1991, President
George Bush was responsible for issuing $240 billion dollars in
secretive bonds as a part of this attack on the Russian ruble. There are
six lines of evidence from eight sources that suggest this was indeed
the case. Many of these instances are corroborated with documents
available on the Internet, presented by those making the claims. [174]
The
bonds sat for ten years, like a ticking time bomb. They had to be
settled – or cashed in by September 12, 2001. The two firms in the U.S.
most likely to be handling them would be Cantor Fitzgerald and
Eurobrokers – the two largest government securities firms in the U.S.
The federal agency mostly involved in investigating those transactions
was the Office of Naval Intelligence. On 9/11, those same three
organizations: the two largest government securities brokers and the
Office of Naval Intelligence in the US took direct hits.
What
happened inside the buildings of the World Trade on September 11 is
difficult, but not impossible to discern. The government has put a seal
on the testimony gathered by the investigating 911 Commission, and
instructed government employees to not speak on the matter or suffer
severe penalties, but there are a number of personal testimonies posted
on the Internet as to what happened in those buildings that day.
Careful
reconstruction from those testimonies indicates the deliberate
destruction of evidence not only by a targeted assault on the
buildings, but also by targeted fires and explosions. In the
event that either the hijacking failed, or the buildings were not
brought down, the evidence would be destroyed by fires. In
addition to the investigative evidence being destroyed, the Federal
Register reported that the physical securities held by the brokers in
their vaults had been destroyed.
What
would be even more revealing would be the actions of the Federal
Reserve Bank and the Securities and Exchange Commission on that day,
and in the immediate aftermath. As one of many coincidences on 9/11, the
Federal Reserve Bank was operating its information system from its
remote back-up site rather than it's downtown headquarters. The SEC
and Federal Reserve system remained unfazed by the attack. All of
their systems continued to operate. The two major security trading firms
had their trade data backed up on remote systems. Nevertheless, the
Commission for the first time invoked its emergency powers under
Securities Exchange Act Section 12(k) and issued several orders to
ease certain regulatory restrictions temporarily.
The Federal Reserve Suspends the Rules
On the first day of the crisis, the SEC lifted "Rule 15c3-3:
Customer Protection – Reserves and Custody of Securities." Thus GSCC
[Government Securities Clearing Corporation] was thus allowed to
substitute other securities for the physical securities destroyed during
the attack. "...collateral substitutions can and should be made with
regard to immediately maturing collateral." [191] At this point in time,
the Federal Reserve and its GSCC had created a settlement
environment totally void of controls and reporting – where it could
substitute valid, new government securities for the mature, illegal
securities, and not have to record where the original bad securities had
come from, or where the new securities went – all because the paper for the primary brokers for US securities had been eliminated.
A
review of the explanations for the actions of the Federal Reserve after
September 11th exposes an amazingly
complex web of analysis and speculation. The reports published by the
Federal Reserve argue that the Federal Reserve's actions increasing the
monetary supply by over $300 billion were justified to overcome
operational difficulties in the financial sector. While impressive as
the reports are, what is noted by the casual reader is that all of the
Federal Reserve analysis is speculative and suggestive, using
phraseology such as "may have," "likely," "presumably," or "should
have." There are few – if any – definitive statements about root cause
and the appropriateness of the Federal Reserve response.
While
the Fed was reporting outstanding account balances of over $100 billion
per day (while not identifying the banks involved), the Wall Street Journal
reported that at one point during the week after 9/11, BoNY was
publicly reported to be overdue on $100 billion in payments. [198] The
Deutschebank, which sat inside the WTC and was totally decimated,
reported no such account balance increase, and JP Morgan, the other of
only two clearing banks which uses the same traders and communications
hub, reported no such increase in its account balance. No one
has publicly asked: why is it that these other two banks were not
seriously disrupted, while the Bank of New York – which had no
structural damage – seemed unable to operate?
Certain
key unknown figures in the Federal Reserve may have 'conspired' with
key unknown figures at the Bank of New York to create a situation where
$240 billion in off balance sheet securities created in 1991 as part of
an official covert operation to overthrow the Soviet Union, could be
cleared without publicly acknowledging their existence. These
securities, originally managed by Cantor Fitzgerald, were cleared and
settled in the aftermath of September 11th through the BoNY. The $100
billion account balance bubble reported by the Wall Street Journal
as being experienced in the BoNY was tip of a three day operation, when
these securities were moved from off-balance-sheet to the balance
sheet.
[As reported on page 12 of a Federal Reserve document]
"In the absence of complete information on deliveries into and out of
its account at BoNY on September 11, and as a result of its assumption
of settlement fails on the starting legs of blind-brokered RPs, GSCC
recorded (after the close of business on September 11) $266 billion in
transactions that apparently failed to settle.... Continuing
connectivity problems prevented GSCC from giving BoNY delivery
instructions after the close of business on September 11 and prevented
it from acquiring information on activity in its account at BoNY during
the day on September 12. Consequently, GSCC recorded $440 billion in
settlement fails as of the close of business on September 12." [201]
What
appears to be the case is that the Federal Reserve imbalances reported
on three consecutive days in the aftermath were largely concentrated at
the Bank of New York, which is reported to represent over 90% of the
imbalance, suggesting the Bank had been the recipient of massive fund
transfers, and unable to send out transfers. Overall transactions for
the day of 9/11 were seemingly down even more significantly than volume,
but the transactions that came in after closing were extremely large,
averaging in size in packages of $35 million or more. This would be
consistent with a hypothesis that $240 billion of securities were being
pushed surreptitiously into the money supply.
The
Federal Reserve, without providing the detail required to substantiate
it's claims, would have the public believe that there were widespread
liquidity issues, when in fact the issues were very concentrated
primarily, if not singularly, in the BoNY, which has been the subject of
an ongoing major money-laundering investigation for many years. These
account balance issues resulted in the defacto expansion of the
monetary supply, details of which are no longer reported by the Federal
Reserve.
The
reported cause of this market malfunction is seemingly suspect. By
comparison, the Deutschebank which sat inside the World Trade Center
reported no such account balance increase, and JP Morgan, the other of
two clearing banks which uses the same traders and communications hub,
reported no such increase in account balance. Additionally, while
problems were being documented between the BoNY and GCSS, no other
institution had those problems.
There
is a contention that at the core of the September 11th attack, someone
was planning to cover the 1991 issuance of $240 billion in covert
securities used to finance the collapse the Soviet Union. The facts
surrounding the financial aftermath of September 11 suggest this is not
only possible, but that reports describing the aftermath have
deliberately been misleading.
- The US dollar money supply was significantly increased in the aftermath of 9/11;
- The bank at the core of the illegal money laundering by ex-Soviet criminals was the source of the increased money supply (BoNY);
- The generally disseminated rationale for BoNY's operational problems seems to have affected no other bank in a similar manner or magnitude and is inconsistent with reports on the BoNY operations in the aftermath;
- A key witness who might provide insight to these issues is a statistically aberrant death;
- The source of the BoNY's $330 billion increase in assets is cloaked under the privilege of "private banking;"
- The only alleged "severe" disruption to the financial systems was the Federal Reserves account balance and the securities trading fails – both systems required to hide the laundering of $240 billion in covert securities.
This is not a 'proof' that $240 billion was laundered, but it provides probable cause for paying serious attention.
Conclusion
History
has many interpretations, and this report has been just one of many –
an interpretation pieced together from the bold admissions and
revelations of insiders, whose stories have been ignored and suppressed
by the major media organizations. It is an interpretation of

Author's Note:
This is the condensed version of this story. The author cannot vouch
for the accuracy of the source materials, although efforts have been
made to validate the consistency of the story line with as many
references as possible. There is no single fact or reference that this
story is dependent on. The author expects some details to be disputed,
and possibly disproved, but contends that the story line will hold true
regardless.

main motivators. For what may be the most powerful single piece of

to read the Reuters news service article on the massive volume of
electronic financial transactions conducted from inside the WTC just
before the buildings collapsed. Yet the investigation results are being
kept secret. For an excellent 44-minute documentary which goes into this
and much more, click here.
