On 9/11 I was in the company of some folks who presented a view on Benghazi and the events surrounding 9/11 — not 9/11/01 per-se (although that was certainly part of the discussion) but rather more-focused on 9/11/12.
There was much discussion that revolved, in the end, around the basic meme “follow the money” — something I’ve done a lot of in my reporting and business careers. But there were two elements in that vein that I found puzzling — and disturbing.
The first is the utter lack of discussion in any form, of Saudi Arabia. The 9/11 hijackers were, in the majority, Saudi citizens. Two weeks before the attacks a well-connected Saudi family rumored to be connected to the attacks literally abandoned a home in Sarasota, just a few miles from Venice where some of the hijackers bought simulator time to learn how to fly a jet — and allegedly, one of the family members that owned that home took flight lessons there too. The owner of that flight school, incidentally, alerted the FBI to suspicious activities by those who we now know were jihadists (like not wanting to know to land said plane!) but was blown off. Had he not been 9/11 probably would have been averted.
Were you or I to blow off such evidence in a corporate environment, and the firm involved suffered massive losses as a result, we would have been instantly sacked. Yet nobody has been sacked in this regard and the apparent connections involved have not been investigated in a public manner nor has the apparent connection in Sarasota or a corresponding one in California been aired out and taken care of (for good or bad.) Why not?
As was said repeatedly, follow the ****ing money.
The second was the overriding “feel” of aiming at an invisible hand in control of all of these events. One point brought up was the Federal Reserve and monetary machinations. But, as I have repeatedly pointed out this is not a new phenomena nor can you point to a relatively recent corruption in this regard.
In fact the corruption is nearly unbroken.
See, The Federal Reserve Act, which The Fed publishes on its own web site, states:
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Open Market Committee shall maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy’s long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.
