Follow the Money? God Forbid

(There are so many ties to US and global financial institutions and the events of 9/11, that it is difficult to even categorized them all. But here is one that should obviously been investigated immediately but instead the 9/11 Commission, under the “guidance” of Philip Zelikow, directly lied about information that would have highlighted some very suspicious activities just prior to 9/11 by not only major banking corporations here in the US but also the Federal Reserve Bank itself. These activities would lead most reasonable investigators to believe that there was fore-knowledge of the attacks. That is probably why Zelikow had the Commission lie about the findings. Remember, Bush’s first choice to head “the commission” (after trying not to have one at all for 400 days after the attacks) was Henry Kissinger. Kissinger is a personal friend and business associate of David Rockefeller. And, of course, David Rockefeller owns much of JP Morgan/Chase; as well as controlling interests in several of the banks that make up the Federal Reserve Bank (yes, it is a private entity, not a government agency) not too mention Exxon/Mobile (and they did pretty well since 9/11 as well). And, of course, it was Rockefeller’s man that put the foreign policy team together for Bush in 1998 of rice, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Cheney: George P. Shultz. No wonder Zelikow didn’t want people looking too closely at the banking industry leading up to 9/11. This is an important article and it is a privately run site. Great reporting. If you can afford a dollar or two to send to them, I am sure they would appriciate it. You know I rarely encourage donations to sites, but in this case, this work is exactly the kind of informative and important work that needs to continue. Alright, I am off my soap-box. Enjoy the article.)

It’s been over six years since 9/11, but U.S. regulatory entities have been slow to follow through with reports about the complex financial transactions that occurred just prior to and following the attacks. Such research could shed light on such questions as who was behind them-and who benefited-and could help lay to rest the rumors that have been festering.
Warning bells about anomalies in the fiscal sector were sounded in the summer of 2001, but not heeded. Among those who has since raised questions was Bill Bergman. As a financial market analyst for the Federal Reserve, he was assigned in 2003 to review the record of July and August of 2001. He noticed an unusual surge in the currency component of the M1 money supply (cash circulating outside of banks) during that period. The surge totaled over $5 billion above the norm for a two-month increase. The increase in August alone was the third largest single monthly increase since 1947, even after a significantly above-average month in July.
