The 911 Plot and Comments
MOSSAD:
The Israeli Connection to 9/11
April
8, 2005,
by Christopher Bollyn,
American Free Press
U.S.
investigators and the controlled media have ignored a preponderance
of evidence pointing to Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad,
being involved in the terror attacks of 9/11.
From
the very morning aircraft smashed into the World Trade Center (WTC)
and the Pentagon, news reports have indicated Israeli intelligence
being involved in the events of 9/11 – and the planting of
"false flags" to blame Arab terrorists and mold public
opinion to support the pre-planned "war on terror."
Shortly
after the destruction of the twin towers, radio news reports
described five "Middle Eastern men" being arrested in New
Jersey after having been seen videotaping and celebrating the
explosive "collapses" of the WTC.
These
men, from a phony moving company in Weehawken, N.J., turned out to
be agents of Israeli military intelligence, Mossad. Furthermore,
their "moving van" tested positive for explosives.
Dominic
Suter, the Israeli owner of Urban Moving Systems, the phony
"moving company," fled in haste, or was allowed to escape,
to Israel before FBI agents could interrogate him. The Israeli
agents were later returned to Israel on minor visa violations.
The
Assistant Attorney General in charge of criminal investigations at
the time was Michael Chertoff, the current head of the Dept. of
Homeland Security. Chertoff, the son of the first hostess of
Israel's national air carrier, El Al, is thought to be an Israeli
national.
One
of the Israeli agents later told Israeli radio that they had been
sent to "document the event" – the event which took the
lives of some 3,000 Americans.
Despite
the fact that the Israelis arrested in New Jersey evidently had
prior knowledge or were involved in the planning of 9/11, the U.S.
mainstream media has never even broached the question of Israeli
complicity in the attacks.
ISRAELIS
FOREWARNED
On
September 12, 2001, the Internet edition of The Jerusalem Post
reported, "The Israeli foreign ministry has collected the names
of 4,000 Israelis believed to have been in the areas of the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon at the time of the attack."
Yet
only one Israeli was killed at the WTC and two were reportedly
killed on the "hijacked" aircraft.
Although
a total of three Israeli lives were reportedly lost on 9/11,
speechwriters for President George W. Bush grossly inflated the
number of Israeli dead to 130 in the president's address to a joint
session of Congress on September 20, 2001.
The
fact that only one Israeli died at the WTC, while 4,000 Israelis
were thought to have been at the scene of the attacks on 9/11
naturally led to a widespread rumor, blamed on Arabic sources, that
Israelis had been forewarned to stay away that day.
"Whether
this story was the origin of the rumor," Bret Stephens, the
Post's editor-in-chief wrote in 2003, "I cannot say. What I can
say is that there was no mistake in our reporting."
ODIGO
INSTANT MESSAGES
Evidence
that Israelis had been forewarned several hours before the attacks
surfaced at an Israeli instant messaging service, known as Odigo.
This story, clear evidence of Israeli prior knowledge, was reported
only briefly in the U.S. media – and quickly forgotten.
At
least two Israel-based employees of Odigo received warnings of an
imminent attack in New York City more than two hours before the
first plane hit the WTC. Odigo had its U.S. headquarters two blocks
from the WTC. The Odigo employees, however, did not pass the warning
on to the authorities in New York City, a move that could have saved
thousands of lives.
Odigo
has a feature called People Finder that allows users to seek out and
contact others based on certain demographics, such as Israeli
nationality.
Two
weeks after 9/11, Alex Diamandis, Odigo's vice president, reportedly
said, "It was possible that the attack warning was broadcast to
other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of
other recipients of the message.”
The
Internet address of the sender was given to the FBI, and two months
later it was reported that the FBI was still investigating the
matter. There have been no media reports since.
Odigo,
like many Israeli software companies, is based and has its Research
and Development (R&D) center in Herzliya, Israel, the small town
north of Tel Aviv, which happens to be where Mossad's headquarters
are located.
Shortly
after 9/11, Odigo was taken over by Comverse Technology, another
Israeli company. Within a year, five executives from Comverse were
reported to have profited by more than $267 million from
"insider trading."
Through
Israeli "venture capital" (VC) investment funds, Mossad
spawns and sponsors scores of software companies currently doing
business in the United States. These Israel-based companies are
sponsored by Mossad funding sources such as Cedar Fund, Stage One
Ventures, Veritas Venture Partners, and others.
As
one might expect, the portfolios of these Mossad-linked funding
companies contain only Israeli-based companies, such as Odigo.
Reading
through the strikingly similar websites of these Israeli
"VC" funds and their portfolio companies, one can't help
but notice that the key "team" players share a common
profile and are often former members of "Israel's Intelligence
Corps" and veterans of the R&D Department of the Israel Air
Force or another branch of the military. Most are graduates of
Israel's "Technion" school in Haifa, Mossad's
Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, or a military program
for software development.
The
IDC, a private, non-profit university, is closely tied to the Mossad.
The IDC has a "research institute" headed by Shabtai
Shavit, former head of the Mossad from 1989 to 1996, called the
International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism.
The
IDC also has a "Marc Rich Center for the Study of Commodities,
Trading and Financial Markets" and a "Lauder School of
Government, Diplomacy and Strategy." The cosmetics magnate
Ronald S. Lauder, who is a supporter of Israel's Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon and his far-right Likud Party, founded the Lauder
school.
Lauder,
president of the Jewish National Fund and former chairman of New
York Governor George Pataki's Commission on Privatization, is the
key individual who pushed the privatization of the WTC and former
Stewart AFB, where the flight paths of the two planes that hit the
twin towers oddly converged. Ronald Lauder played a significant,
albeit unreported, role in the preparation for 9/11.
Pataki's
wife, Libby, has been on Lauder's payroll since at least 2002 and
reportedly earned $100,000 as a consultant in 2004. According to The
Village Voice, between 1994 and 1998, Gov. Pataki earned some
$70,000 for speaking to groups affiliated with Lauder.
THE
PTECH CUTOUT
Ptech,
a mysterious software company has been tied with the events of 9/11.
The Quincy, Massachusetts-based company was supposedly connected to
"the Muslim Brotherhood" and Arab financiers of terrorism.
The
firm's suspected links with terrorism resulted in a consensual
examination by the FBI in December 2002, which was immediately
leaked to the media. The media reports of the FBI "raid"
on Ptech soon led to the demise of the company.
Ptech
"produced software that derived from PROMIS, had an artificial
intelligence core, and was installed on virtually every computer
system of the U.S. government and its military agencies on September
11, 2001," according to Michael Ruppert's From the Wilderness (FTW)
website.
"This
included the White House, Treasury Dept. (Secret Service), Air
Force, FAA, CIA, FBI, both houses of Congress, Navy, Dept. of
Energy, IRS, Booz Allen Hamilton, IBM, Enron and more," FTW
reported.
"Whoever
plotted 9/11 definitely viewed the FAA as the enemy that morning.
Overriding FAA systems would be the most effective way to ensure the
attacks were successful," FTW reported. "To do this, the
FAA needed an evolution of PROMIS software installed on their
systems and Ptech was just that; the White House and Secret Service
had the same software on their systems – likely a superior
modified version capable of 'surveillance and intervention'
systems."
But
did the U.S. government unwittingly load software capable of
"surveillance and intervention" operations and produced by
a company linked to terrorism onto its most sensitive computer
networks, or was Ptech simply a Mossad "cutout" company?
Oussama
Ziade, a Lebanese Muslim immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1985,
founded Ptech in 1994. But the company's original manager of
marketing and information systems was Michael S. Goff, whose PR
firm, Goff Communications, currently represents Guardium, a Mossad-linked
software company.
And
Goff comes from a well-to-do line of Jewish Masons who have belonged
to Worcester's Commonwealth Lodge 600 of B'nai Brith for decades.
So, why would a recently graduated Juris Doctor in Law leave a
promising law career to join forces with a Lebanese Muslim's upstart
company sponsored with dodgy funders in Saudi Arabia?
"As
information systems manager [for Ptech], Michael handled design,
deployment and management of its Windows and Macintosh, data, and
voice networks," Goff's website says. "Michael also
performed employee training and handled all procurement for
software, systems and peripherals."
AFP
asked Goff, who left the Worcester law firm of Seder & Chandler
in 1994, how he wound up working at Ptech. "Through a temp
agency," Goff said. Asked for the name of the agency, Goff said
he could not remember.
Could
it be Mossad Temps, or maybe Sayan Placement Agency?
Goff,
the original marketing manager for Ptech software, said he did not
know who had written the code that Ptech sold to many government
agencies. Is this believable?
Goff
leaves a legal practice in his home town to take a job, through a
temp agency, with a Lebanese Muslim immigrant who is selling
software, and he doesn't know who even wrote the code?
AFP
contacted the government agencies that reportedly have Ptech
software on their computers, and IBM, to ask if they could identify
who had written the source code of the Ptech software.
By
press time, only Lt. Commander Ron Steiner of the U.S. Navy's Naval
Network Warfare Command had responded. Steiner said he had checked
with an analyst and been told that none of the Ptech software has
been approved for the Navy's enterprise networks.
Comment:
Mr. Bollyn, author of this article, was the first to put forward the
thesis that the WTC buildings were destroyed by a “plasmoid
cloud,” developed by an unnamed “East German scientist”
purportedly working with the KGB, (which had been out of business
for ten years.)Now, apparently, it is the Jews who were to blame.
Perhaps next month it will be the Campfire Girls or the Hidden Hand.

Subject: Short-selling of Stock on 9-11
Date: April 15, 2005
There
was a lot of talk about short selling just before 9/11 in the weeks
following the tragedy. A lot of it was claimed to be due to the
"collective conscience" and not underhanded dealings. Hum
, I would like to believe that but with the government saying this,
I need to question something.
At
any rate, this was the reason given by the Bush Administration to
start a futures market on the US itself. The thinking was that if
some collective consciousness was at work, a future negative event
for the US would be quickly reflected in a drop in a futures market
based upon the US.
I
was pretty sure that the identification of the trend was real. The
question is, were all of these people involved or was the right kind
of leak timed to help Al-Qaeda make money on investments.
There
was also the report that many Jews did not show up for work at the
WTC that day. From what I can recall, I have heard all or most of
this reported by real news agencies in the weeks following 9/11. The
mystery is, what was going on? Devine Intervention?

Ober
Response:
Dear
Mr. Ober:
I
have had many requests for more information, specifically any
sources, for this subject. I am including some of these in the
attachment.
I
have a friend at NASDAC who informs me that this is a forbidden
topic and although there was a FBI and NYSE investigation at the
time, now, all is silence. I, myself, saw references to this in the
media and at the time but now, there are no references anywhere.
Perhaps
what I have enclosed will be of some help to you.
As
I understand it from contemporary news sources, including a German
one that I did not use, there were three centers of activity: the
Toronto, Frankfurt and New York Stock exchanges, and that all of the
speculators were Israelis.
There
is no doubt at all that Israel was aware of the pending attack,
through the activities of their highly effective MOSSAD, but also
note that the U.S. government was fully informed by the
Israeli government on three separate occasions prior to the
attack. Our very own CIA, on the other hand, was so deeply engrosses
in trying to figure out who sunk the battleship ‘Maine’ to
bother about such matters. The Jews tend to get the blame for many
things but in this case, they did what they should have.
I
see the real problem here very simply: Given the large
number of acknowledged warnings sent to, and received by, the United
States Government long before this attack, what did the President
know about this and when did he know it? It is difficult, if not
impossible, to prove a negative but there is still the question to
be asked.
If
I can answer any more questions, please advise me. I was not the
first person to put this out because at the time, I received a
number of emails from different areas, most of them not the usual
conspiratorial people, and they were not using a common source
(which can help spread unfounded rumors as we know.)
Your
email on this subject is one of a number expressing interest. When
this was posted, we did not have a large viewing public but now we
reach 30,000-50,000 a day and I perhaps ought to repost the entire
file (some of which has never been published) and see what is
forthcoming.

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

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: The Washington Times,
June 15, 2001; Fox News, October 16, 2001]
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.
