What are your feelings about 9/11?

Posted on Sep 11th, 2007 by Dolf : Off to the Nondual... Dolf
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 11, 2007:

9/11 changed history and was a tragedy for all involved. However, the tragedy continues due to all the wars that are being waged in the name of the "war on terror". 9/11 is a bad excuse to attack whatever groups or countries that the US government does not like. Improving the world starts with understanding and dialog and may not end in war.

<<9/11 changed history>>
 USAmericans heard that Pavlovian phrase almost as many times as the TV showed the Instant Replays of the mysterious 9/11 explosions/implosions. No doubt the history of the cover-story  will continue to change as time passes and courageous historians go beyond the incredible official version.

In the spirit of “history repeats itself:”

“The parallels between 9/11 and Pearl Harbor are striking. In each instance there were warning signs before the attack, and in each instance our government failed to connect the dots. ” US Congresswoman, Diane Watson

There's the olde saying (perhaps from William Randolph Hearst in 1898):
“USAmericans don't go to war easily. You have to lie to them But…it's so easy to lie to them.”

<<and was a tragedy for all>>
It is a tragic fact that huge profits were made from the tragedy.

QUOTE:
It was widely reported immediately after 9/11 that insider trading occurred in which trading skyrocketed on put-options that bet on a drop in UAL Corp. and AMR Corp. (parent company to American Airlines) stock in the days before the attacks. According to Bloomberg data, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. and Merrill Lynch & Co. also experienced pre-attack trading twelve, to more than twenty-five times the usual volume of put-options. Morgan Stanley put-options jumped to 2,157 contracts between September 6 and September 10-almost twenty-seven times a previous daily average of twenty-seven contracts. Merrill Lynch's daily activities previous to September 11th were 252. 12,215 contracts were traded from September 5 to September 10th. Citigroup Inc. had a jump in trading of about 45 percent. One day before the American Airlines planes were hijacked and crashed, 1,535 contracts were traded on options that let investors profit from the American Airlines stock falls. 1 All companies were linked to the hijacked airplanes or to the World Trade Center. Morgan Stanley occupied twenty-two stories of the WTC and Merrill Lynch had offices nearby.2 Christian Berthelsen and Scott Winokur of The San Francisco Chronicle wrote on September 29, 2001 that as of that date investors had yet to collect more than $2.5 million in profits made in these put stock options of United Airlines, and “the uncollected money raises suspicions that the investors-whose identities and nationalities have not been made public-had advanced knowledge of the strikes.”3

…Dylan Ratigan of Bloomberg Business News said that “this could very well be insider trading at the worst, more horrific, most evil use you've ever seen in your entire life. This would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence.”11 CBSNews.com quoted McLucas, former Securities and Exchange Commission Enforcement Director, as saying that “the options trading in particular suggests to me that somebody, somewhere, may have had an inkling that something bad was going to happen to certainly those airlines stocks.”

Malcom X warned that sheep need to understand the predatory nature of wolves. True understanding leads to the conclusion that wolves, and Return-on-Investment beasts such as ABOVE, will NOT benefit from “dialogue. They need to be controlled by “we-the-people,” in the spirit of US Republic Founding Father Thomas Jefferson:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
Thomas Jefferson
