Typically, I find that when posters, such as you (Yehuda), are devoid of any intelligence and thus have no sensible rebuttal, they resort to personal attacks. Thanks for not disappointing me.
If anyone in the intelligence community had been monitoring the financial markets carefully, we would have gotten an early warning on 9/11. Post-9/11 analysis indicated just that. In case you even care, that is not off-topic and could, in fact, be very useful in analyzing the threat, which was the point of my post.
I made no inference that Jews profited form 9/11. My analysis was based on the hearsay/rumor in post #92 indicating that the Jews did not show up to work on 9/11. I have no idea whether this is a true statement or not. Assuming it were true, my analysis would easily follow. There were numerous articles after 9/11 indicating that OBL and many of his friends profited from 9/11 based on shorts in insurers, reinsurers, and airlines. I have no idea whether any Jews profited based on their knowledge of the short interest in such securities; only that the rumor says they avoided their offices.

No, in post 92 Calpernia said

Remember that rumor that circulated for a while about thousands of Jews not going into work that day of 9/11?…Were any stats taken on how many Muslims didn't go into work that day?

I don’t think Calpernia was suggesting Jews didn’t go to work 9/11.

That’s a debunked rumor rampant on white supremecist, jihadist, and assorted left wing American and Jew hating sites.

You, however, advanced that position, stating

Actually this makes sense when you consider that a large number of Jews work in the financial markets. If you saw the short interest in insurers, reinsurers, and airline stocks increase significantly, you'd probably have gotten out of town prior to 911 as well. I wonder what happened to the short interest in those groups of stocks today?

gravedancing on those who died that day. Your rather lame excuse that you didn’t accuse them of making money, just saving their own skins, while allowing other Americans to die doesn’t cut it.

So I’ll ask again, do you have any evidence to back up that theory? Do you know of Jews who stayed home?

Have you contacted authorities?

You’ll note this thread deals with potential attacks on New York, LA, and DC. Jews live in those places, and many work in the financial industry. If they, perchance, have info on upcoming attacks, we need to know.

Personally, for whatever reason, I think you’re just spouting so much slanderous *ull *hit.

I need to thank you for finally stumbling into the point of my post instead of continuing to race bait me like so many of the others on here.

Even if only a few people noticed this shorting activity, certainly they should have alerted the authorities. However, I can imagine that with all of the rumors going around Wall Street such individuals are hesitant to be known as alarmists and so it doesn't get reported.

Your rather lame excuse that you didn’t accuse them of making money, just saving their own skins, while allowing other Americans to die doesn’t cut it.

If you are intellectually honest, you might also imagine that it is quite possible that those same individuals (seeking to avoid being known as alarmists) sensed that something was up and decided to stay home that day. It's not a big enough hunch to bet on, but it just doesn't seem right, so you take a vacation day or call in sick. This scenario is played out on a daily basis in everyone's life. You see someone you care about doing something a little dangerous and you think to yourself, "they might hurt themselves," and then before you can say anything, they do.

Maybe there aren't that many Jews in the financial market? I, personally, have only 3 data points and they all just happen to be good Jewish friends. They all went to work that day and fortunately were not in the WTC.

I'm saddened that you have such a poor perception of me, but that's your problem, not mine. You can all believe what you want to believe, but I am confident that when God judges my heart (He's the only one entitled to do so), I will be without blame.
