------------------
The CIA is also known to have recruited journalists and media executives. According to Carl Bernstein, the former Washington Post reporter who worked with Bob Woodward breaking open the Watergate story during the Nixon administration, executives who lent their cooperation to the CIA included Henry Luce of Time Inc., founder of Time and Life magazines. C.D. Jackson, a Time Inc. vice-president and publisher of Life magazine until his death in 1964, approved arrangements to provide the CIA with cover under Time-Life, according to an article Bernstein wrote for Rolling Stone magazine in 1977.

When the managing director of the overseas Warner Bros. office passed away, the individual who spoke with the Journal was contacted by the senior executive from L.A. about the plans for the memorial service. Senior executives from the company would attend, including from the Warner Bros. parent corporation, Time Warner, headquartered in New York.

When he answered that one of the potential dates for the service was September 11, he was told that would be no good because “something big is happening that day” and the top executives from the New York office would all be travelling out of the city.

the case of the five Israelis who were witnessed on 9/11 celebrating beside their white van at the sight of the smoking towers from a parking lot in New Jersey. They were later arrested and detained. Upon arrest, the driver of the van told the arresting officers, “We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.”

The van was registered to an Israeli-owned company called Urban Moving Systems, whose owner immediately closed shop and fled to Israel. At least two of the five Israelis witnessed videotaping and celebrating the attacks were learned to be operatives of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.
------------
purchases were made on 4,744 put options for United Airlines between September 6 and 7. On September 10, purchases were placed on 4,516 put options for American Airlines. United and American were the two airlines that had planes hijacked and destroyed in the attacks. There was no similarly unusual trading in other airlines....Together, these purchases were worth millions. Yet with the reports of insider trading and foreknowledge circulating in the media, whoever was responsible chose not to collect the money.

I distinctly remember this. Why was this not pursued after the fact whatsoever? Who tried to pull a fast one and get rich(er)? Insider trading? More like profiteering off conspiracy to commit murder. Sounds like something out of Cheney's book. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

In this BBC live report on 9-11-01, World Trade Center building 7 (aka Salomon Brothers bldg.) is clearly visible standing just to the right of the woman reporter's head as she reports that it has already collapsed. 20 minutes after the report, the building freefell straight down into its own footprint within 10 seconds.

I'm sorry, but does it even really matter anymore? the intelligence community has already shown itself to be completely inept by giving false intelligence to the white house, as well as intelligence for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have the power do as they see fit, and that is that. They tell us only what we want to know, and not what we need to know.
