Do They Have Psychics on the Payroll?
For the average American, 9/11 was a day of horror, grief, and fear. But for a certain group, it was a literal jackpot.
Not in some abstract, ideological sense, but cold, hard cash, made from precision bets against American lives.
While the nation reeled from the carnage, a handful of investors were quietly pocketing millions, maybe even billions, from “put options” placed just days before the Twin Towers fell. These financial instruments allowed the buyer to profit if a stock’s value tanked. And someone, possibly many someones, knew they would.
On September 6, 2001, the put-call ratio on United Airlines shot up to an astronomical 25x the average. On September 10, the day before the attacks, the ratio for American Airlines hit 289x the average. These were laser-targeted financial death wishes placed on two of the very airlines that would be used as weapons the next morning.
Lo and behold, after the attacks, airline stocks collapsed as expected: American Airlines dropped 39%, United Airlines plummeted 42%. Whoever placed those bets made off like bandits.
Now, were these trades investigated? Sort of, but not with the intensity or transparency you’d expect. The 9/11 Commission swept many such financial anomalies under the rug, often citing “national security” or simply saying there was “no link” between the investors and al-Qaeda.
Just like there’s “no Epstein list”.
The truth is, many of the traders have names, faces, and ties that go well beyond coincidence, and into the realm of geopolitics, wealth consolidation, and Zionist power structures that have long operated behind the curtain.
