Yes, that's true. There are many things on that link I hadn't seen before and many more questions than answers.

And this.........September 6-10, 2001: Suspicious trading occurs on American and United, the two airlines used in the 9/11 attacks, but no other airlines. The New York Stock Exchange sees "unusually heavy trading" in the stocks for these two airlines "and related stocks." The Chicago Board Options Exchange sees a drastic imbalance between purchases of put options (a speculation that the stock will go down) versus call options (a speculation the stock will go up). One analyst says: "I saw put-call numbers higher than I've ever seen in 10 years of following the markets..." On September 29, 2001, $2.5 million in put option profits on American Airlines and United Airlines are reported unclaimed, presumably to avoid being caught. "To the embarrassment of investigators, it has also emerged that the firm used to buy many of the 'put' options ... on United Airlines stock was headed until 1998 by 'Buzzy' Krongard, now executive director of the CIA." Krongard was chairman of Alex Brown Inc., which was bought by Deutsche Bank. Krongard was head of the Bankers Trust, a private client business handling investments of the extremely wealthy. The Chicago Board Options Exchange also sees suspicious trading on Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, two of the largest WTC tenants, with numbers so unusual that one expert states,"This would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence." On September 10, the trading ratio on United Airlines is 25 times greater than normal at the Pacific Exchange. According to CBS News, by the afternoon of September 10, "alarm bells were sounding over unusual trading in the US stock options market." It has been documented that the CIA and many other intelligence agencies monitor stock trading in real time using highly advanced programs to look for such warnings. So presumably CIA should have had advance warning something unusual was happening with American and United Airlines.

Makes your heart sink to think of people profiting off of the 9/11 tragedy. Where are all these stories? Why haven't all the mysterious trades been investigated?

I better understand why the initial plan to introduce a real life "bet on terrorism" type of program was a valid idea. On the face of it, many of us balked. But I do see why the idea was floated. Still, with the spy agencies and Wall Street paying closer attention now that the lesson of 911 is under their belts, another leadup like that in September 2001 should NOT escape their notice. We hope.

Several months ago, someone was following the sales of gold and stocks, and 9-11, I think it was Sean.

Have you noticed that almost every thing the terrorists do, they have taken from a popular author.

If you check Robin Cook, you may find the Plum Island Story.

The 4th Horseman (or 5th) was a book about the search for nuclear or bio in New York, must be 10 years since I read it, but it wound up being 55 gallon barrels in a basement.

Back in the 1970's there was a book, a test missile was fired at sea and went through the airplane...and you have flight 800, with no explosive warhead.

Robin cook will have several books that deal with the bio uses for terrorists.

I have had more than one laugh in the past, he would publish a book and 2 years later, a reporter would break a true story that sounded like it had been lifted from a Robin Cook book.
