September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

maker Boeing and defense contractor Lockheed Martin. Several insurance companies are on the list—
American International Group, Axa, Chubb, Cigna, CNA Financial, John Hancock and MetLife. The
SEC list also includes several big companies that were tenants in the collapsed Twin Towers of the
World Trade Center: investment firms Morgan Stanley, the complex’s largest occupant; Lehman
Brothers; Bank of America; and the financial firm Marsh & McLennan. Other major companies listed
include General Motors, Raytheon, LTV, WR Grace, Lone Star Technologies, American Express,
Bank of New York, Bank One, Citigroup and Bear Stearns. [Suspicious trading points to advance
knowledge by big investors of September 11 terror attacks, Barry Grey, October 5, 2001]
It is also fair to speculate that the breadth of the pre-attack investments trades was far
broader than ever admitted to by the investigators. The general literature suggests trading
in four companies, using one mentioned bank – the Deutschebank. Generally excluded
from discussions of those reports is a subsequent report from a survivor of the World
Trade Center.
"...Convar, a German firm hired to retrieve data from damaged computer systems left in the rubble of
the World Trade Center, found that there was a deluge of electronic trading just minutes before the first
plane struck. Quoting a December 16 report from Reuter's, writer Kyle Henry found a compelling
quotation from one of Convar's directors: Peter Henschel, director of Convar...said, 'not only the
volume, but the size of the transactions was far higher than usual for a day like that.' Richard Wagner,
a data retrieval expert, estimated that more than $100 million in illegal transactions appeared to have
rushed through the WTC computers before and during the disaster….The Reuter's story was partially
confirmed for me when I was contacted by a Deutsche Bank employee who had survived the attacks by
fleeing the WTC after the first plane hit. According to the employee, about five minutes before the
attack the entire Deutsche Bank computer system had been taken over by something external that no
one in the office recognized and every file was downloaded at lightening speed to an unknown
location." [Crossing the Rubicon, Chapter 14, Michael Ruppert]
The four stock trades usually mentioned, however, are the “unclaimed’ trades –
suggesting a potentially larger number of successful trades having taken place. The
reality was far greater than generally reported. Trades were placed across the globe, far in
excess of the few million dollars of “unclaimed” trades. More simply, a lot of the trades
were successfully claimed.
"ABC World News reported on Sept. 20, "Jonathan Winer, an ABC News consultant said, 'it's
absolutely unprecedented to see cases of insider trading covering the entire world from Japan, to the
U.S., to North America, to Europe."
"How much money was involved? Andreas von Bülow, a former member of the German Parliament
responsible for oversight of Germany's intelligence services estimated the worldwide profits amount at
$15 billion, according to Tagesspiegel on Jan. 13. Other experts have estimated the profit at $12
billion. CBS News gave a conservative estimate of $100 million." [The Case for Bush Administration
Advance Knowledge of 9-11 Attacks, Michael C. Ruppert, April 22, 2002]
"According to Phil Erlanger, a former Senior Technical Analyst with Fidelity, and founder of a Florida
firm that tracks short selling and options trading, insiders made off with billions (not mere millions) in
profits by betting on the fall of stocks they knew would tumble in the aftermath of the WTC and
Pentagon attacks." [http://www.erlangersqueezeplay.com]
A very important element of this trading “mystery” is that the “pre-September 11” stock
trades are the trades commonly discussed, and generally ignored are the trades that
occurred on September 11, during the course of the attack.
