Israeli Investors Made Huge Profits From 9/11 Event

Timeline for 911 Events

August
8-23, 2001: Two high ranking Israeli Mossad agents come to Washington
to warn the FBI and CIA that up to 200 terrorists have slipped into the
US and are planning an imminent major assault in the US. Indications
point to a highly visible target. [Sources: Telegraph, 9/16/01, Los
Angeles Times, 9/16/01, Fox News, 5/17/02] The Mossad gives the CIA a
list of terrorists. A major Israeli spy ring was hard on the heels of at
least four members of the 9/11 hijackers, including lead hijacker
Mohammed Atta. [Source: BBC, 10/2/01]

August 24, 2001, the head of
the Israeli Mossad reported the imminence of an Arab attack against
American targets and a similar report was made by the same agency on
September 7, 2001.

September 6-7, 2001 -- 4,744 put options (a
speculation that the stock will go down) are purchased on United Air
Lines stock as opposed to only 396 call options (speculation that the
stock will go up). This is a dramatic and abnormal increase in sales of
put options. Many of the UAL puts are purchased through Deutschebank/AB
Brown, a firm managed until 1998 by the current Executive Director of
the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard. [Source: The New York Times; The Wall
Street Journal.]

September 10, 2001 -- 4,516 put options are purchased on American Airlines as compared to 748 call options. [Source: above]

September
6-11, 2001 -- No other airlines show any similar trading patterns to
those experienced by UAL and American. The put option purchases on both
airlines were 600% above normal. This at a time when Reuters (September
10) issues a business report stating, "Airline stocks may be poised to
take off."

September 6-10, 2001 -- Highly abnormal levels of put
options are purchased in Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, AXA
Re(insurance) which owns 25% of American Airlines, and Munich Re. All of
these companies are directly impacted by the September 11 attacks.

It
has been documented that the CIA, the Israeli Mossad and many other
intelligence agencies monitor stock trading in real time using highly
advanced programs reported to be descended from Promis software. This is
to alert national intelligence services of just such kinds of attacks.
Promis was reported, as recently as June, 2001 to be in Osama bin
Laden's possession and, as a result of recent stories by FOX, both the
FBI and the Justice Department have confirmed its use for U.S.
intelligence gathering through at least this summer. This would confirm
that CIA had additional advance warning of imminent attacks. [Sources:

SEC SECRET PROBE OF STOCK DEALINGS BEFORE 9/11

Between August 26 and September 11, 2001, a group of speculators, identified
by the American Securities and Exchange Commission as Israeli citizens,
sold “short” a list of 38 stocks that could reasonably be expected to
fall in value as a result of the pending attacks. These speculators operated out of the Toronto, Canada and Frankfurt, Germany, stock exchanges and their profits were specifically stated to be “in the millions of dollars.”

Short
selling of stocks involves the opportunity to gain large profits by
passing shares to a friendly third party, then buying them back when the
price falls. Historically, if this precedes a traumatic event, it is an
indication of foreknowledge. It is widely known that the CIA uses the
Promis software to routinely monitor stock trades as a possible warning
sign of a terrorist attack or suspicious economic behavior. A week after
the Sept.11 attacks, the London Times reported that the CIA had asked
regulators for the Financial Services Authority in London to investigate
the suspicious sales of millions of shares of stock just prior to the
terrorist acts. It was hoped the business paper trail might lead to the
terrorists.

Investigators from numerous government agencies are
part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market
manipulations There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading
of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany
between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon.

Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board
Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the
trades was available immediately. "We would have been aware of any
unusual activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual
volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or the
CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows
about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the
Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems
are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system would
look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and review
it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity."

Howard
continued, "The system is so smart that even if there is a news event
that triggers a market event it can go back in time, and even the
parameters can be changed depending on what is being looked at. It's a
very clever system and it is instantaneous. Even with the system,
though, we have very experienced and savvy staff in our
market-regulations area who are always looking for things that might be
unusual. They're trained to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Even
if it's offshore, it might take a little longer, but all offshore
accounts have to go through U.S. member firms - members of the CBOE -
and it is easily and quickly identifiable who made the trades. The
member firm who made the trades has to have identifiable information
about the client under the 'Know Your Customer' regulations (and we
share all information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.)"

Given
all of this, at a minimum the CBOE and government regulators who are
conducting the secret investigations have known for some time who made
the options puts on a total of 38 stocks that might reasonably be
anticipated to have a sharp drop in value because of an attack similar
to the 9/11 episode. The silence from the investigating camps could mean
several things: Either terrorists are responsible for the puts on the
listed stocks or others besides terrorists had foreknowledge of the
attack and used this knowledge to reap a nice financial harvest from the
tragedy.

Adam Hamilton of Zeal LLC, a North Dakota-based private
consulting company that publishes research on markets worldwide, stated
that "I heard that $22 million in profits was made on these put
options..."

Federal investigators are continuing to be so
closed-mouthed about these stock trades, and it is clear that a much
wider net has been cast, apparently looking for bigger international
fish involved in dubious financial activity relating to the 9/11 attacks
on the world stock markets.

Just a month after the attacks the
SEC sent out a list of stocks to various securities firms around the
world looking for information. The list includes stocks of American,
United, Continental, Northwest, Southwest and US Airways airlines, as
well as Martin, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express
Corp, American International Group, AMR Corporation, Axa SA, Bank of
America Corp, Bank of New York Corp, Bank One Corp, Cigna Group, CNA
Financial, Carnival Corp, Chubb Group, John Hancock Financial Services,
Hercules Inc, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., LTV Corporation, Marsh
& McLennan Cos. Inc., MetLife, Progressive Corp., General Motors,
Raytheon, W.R. Grace, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., Lone Star
Technologies, American Express, the Citigroup Inc. ,Royal & Sun
Alliance, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., Vornado Reality Trust, Morgan
Stanley, Dean Witter & Co., XL Capital Ltd., and Bear Stearns.

The
Times said market regulators in Germany, Japan and the US all had
received information concerning the short selling of insurance, airlines
and arms companies stock, all of which fell sharply in the wake of the
attacks.

City of London broker and analyst Richard Crossley noted
that someone sold shares in unusually large quantities beginning three
weeks before the assault on the WTC and Pentagon.

He said he took this as evidence that someone had insider foreknowledge of the attacks.

"What
is more awful than he should aim a stiletto blow at the heart of
Western financial markets?" he added. "But to profit from it? Words fail
me."

The US Government also admitted it was investigating short
selling, which evinced a compellingly strong foreknowledge of the coming
Arab attack.

There was unusually heavy trading in airline and
insurance stocks several days before Sept.11, which essentially bet on a
drop in the worth of the stocks.

It was reported by the Interdisciplinary Center, a
counter-terrorism think tank involving former Israeli intelligence
officers, that insiders made nearly $16 million profit by short selling
shares in American and United Airlines, the two airlines that suffered hijacking, and the investment firm of Morgan Stanley, which occupied 22 floors of the WTC.

Apparently
none of the suspicious transactions could be traced to bin Laden
because this news item quietly dropped from sight, leaving many people
wondering if it tracked back to American firms or intelligence agencies.

Most
of these transactions were handled primarily by Deutsche
Bank-A.B.Brown, a firm which until 1998 was chaired by A. B."Buzzy"
Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA.

More
serious was an article in the Sept. 28, 2001 edition of the Washington
Post stating that officials with the instant messaging firm of Odigo in
New York confirmed that two employees in Israel received text messages
warning of an attack on the WTC two hours before the planes crashed into
the buildings!

The firm's vice president of sales and marketing,
Alex Diamandis said it was possible that the warning was sent to other
Odigo members, but they had not received any reports of such.

The day after, the Jerusalem Post claimed two Israelis died on the hijacked airplanes and that 4,000 were missing at the WTC.

A week later, a Beirut television station reported that 4,000 Israeli employees of the WTC were absent the day of the attack.

This information spread across the Internet but was quickly branded a hoax.

On
Sept. 19, the Washington Post reported about 113 Israelis were missing
at the WTC and the next day, President Bush noted more than 130 Israelis
were victims.

Finally, on Sept. 22, the New York Times stated
"There were, in fact, only three Israelis who had been confirmed as
dead: two on the planes and another who had been visiting the towers on
business and who was identified and buried."

Investigators from
numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official
effort to resolve the market manipulations There has been a great deal
of talk about the insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli
groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11
attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Government
investigators have maintained a diplomatic silence about a Department of
Justice (DOJ) probe of possible profiteering by interested parties with
advance knowledge of the attack.

On Sept. 6, 2001, the Thursday
before the tragedy, 2,075 put options were made on United Airlines and
on Sept. 10, the day before the attacks, 2,282 put options were recorded
for American Airlines. Given the prices at the time, this could have
yielded speculators between $2 million and $4 million in profit.

The
matter still is under investigation and none of the government
investigating bodies -including the FBI, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and DOJ -are speaking to reporters about insider
trading. Even so, suspicion of insider trading to profit from the Sept.
11 attacks is not limited to U.S. regulators. Investigations were
initiated in a number of places including Japan, Germany, the United
Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Spain. As in the
United States, all are treating these inquiries as if they were state
secrets.
