Of COURSE it was buried in a DU thread. No surprise there.<br><br>They sure did clean up on 9/11. WTC 7 housed evidence in suits that would have been devastating for certain corporations. One of the towers held evidence in an FBI office on gold price-fixing. Golman Sachs was in serious hot water. No wonder Bush said that he won the trifecta on 9/11. <p></p><i></i>

Rumsfeld stated: "According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions." 1 <br><br>Such a disclosure normally would have sparked a huge scandal.

Does that mean that all the records for $2.3 trillion in Pentagon disbursements lived in that little section of the Pentagon? No off-site storage? No backups?<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I can't say I heard it here first. (I hadn't found this site yet.) But, you mentioned this in your blog quite a while ago, Jeff. (I ran across it more recently.)<br><br>This is a great list for those who haven't read it:<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2004/09/remembering-september-10-2001.html">Remembering September 10, 2001 </a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announces that the Pentagon "cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," or one quarter of the yearly defense budget.

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Does that mean that all the records for $2.3 trillion in Pentagon disbursements lived in that little section of the Pentagon? No off-site storage? No backups?<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>I don't think there ever were any records backing up these transactions. That's the point of Pentagon accounting. It's all put together by Dyncorp/Lockheed type accounting systems and they don't even talk to each other. Pentagon accounting is largely make-believe anyway. <br><br>So if hitting that part of the Pentagon had to do with the 2.3 trillion, it was probably more to kill individual people (or perhaps scare them or others) than to destroy records per se. <br><br>And why announce anything at all publicly about the 2.3 trillion? Does Rummy strike you as someone who's interested in laying all the cards on the table and being transparent? Does CBS news strike you as an organization (owned by guess who) that's interested in reporting on Pentagon spending corruption? <br><br>2.3 trillion in transactions is shit load of money. Money like doesn't just go away without somebody knowing where it went. <br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=newkid@rigorousintuition>NewKid</A> at: 6/14/06 5:19 pm<br></i>

And don't forget Rummy's weird ass press conference on 9/12 (which I've linked elsewhere on this board but can't find now) where he made a really odd comment about how government employees, who might have access to classified information should keep their mouths shut. <p></p><i></i>

[smithtalk]

thats what i dont understand,<br>if rummy knew what was coming and that the records were getting wiped why even make the announcement? <p></p><i></i>

[Mentalgongfu]

"why even make the announcement?"<br><br>my guess: It's just too much fun to fuck with people and Rummy couldn't help himself.<br><br>i think anyone who's ever pulled a really good gag on a friend knows what i mean it can be hard not to brag and hint in sly comments right before or as the gag is being pulled off.<br><br><br>On 9/10/01, Rumsfeld could have announced ANYTHING. Aliens exist and have visited us; Ronald Reagan really was a robot; anything. He could have done so non-chalantly and with a big smile on the inside, if he knew what would happen the next day and where the nation's focus would turn/be directed. <br><br>And on 9/12, all that had to be done was pick an enemy, blame them, and begin the daily 2-minute hate. Any other sly comments would slip under the radar, as they did, until too late. <p></p><i></i>

[Iroquois]

My thought is the fact that $2.3 trillion dollars were unaccounted for was certainly going to come out in the wash eventually. Rumsfeld's only choice was likely to either go public himself, or wait for one of his critics to do it for him.<br><br>What's interesting to me, is that he made his press release on a Monday. In DC, I always see bad news given on a Friday, usually late in the afternoon on Friday. The exception, of course, would be when someone happens to know that there is a far bigger story coming out. Then they try to air their own dirty laundry in a sincere "the buck stops here" sort of way just before the other story breaks. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=iroquois@rigorousintuition>Iroquois</A> at: 6/15/06 7:03 am<br></i>

The Washington Post carried a story the morning of 9/11 of the impending lawsuit against the US and Henry Kissinger by the son of a Chilean general for his father's death in the US coup against Allende in Chile.<br><br>More of the US's crimes against humanity were bubbling forth, a good time to turn over the game board of public opinion.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.ratical.org/ratville/KHsuedOn911.html">www.ratical.org/ratville/...On911.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>By Bill Miller<br>September 11, 2001<br>Washington Post<br>Page A22<br><br> The family of Chilean military commander Rene Schneider, who was killed 31 years ago during a botched kidnapping, filed a federal lawsuit in Washington yesterday accusing Henry A. Kissinger, Richard M. Helms and other officials in the Nixon administration of orchestrating a series of covert activities that led to his assassination.<br><br> The lawsuit, which attorneys said is based heavily upon recently declassified CIA documents, seeks more than $3 million in damages from Kissinger, Helms and the U.S. government for "summary execution," assault and other civil rights violations. It alleges that Schneider was targeted because he stood in the way of a military coup designed to keep leftist Salvador Allende from taking power as Chile's president. At the time, Kissinger was Nixon's national security adviser, and Helms headed the CIA.<br><br> The suit revisits one of Chile's most notorious crimes and marks the first time that high-level U.S. officials have been sued in connection with the shooting. Schneider was the left-leaning head of the Chilean Armed Forces, and his murder was long considered to have been carried out by right-wing extremists within the military. The suit focuses on U.S. government ties to the assailants that were described in the declassified papers.<br><br> "The United States did not want Allende to assume the presidency, and my father was the only political obstacle for a military coup," said Schneider's eldest son, also named Rene Schneider, who resides in Chile. He and his brother, Raul, an artist living in Paris, are the named plaintiffs. "Obviously, he had to be taken out of the way."<br><br> The family chose to sue after carefully reviewing the materials that became public in the past two years, Schneider said. The documents, he said, "made me realize that my father's death is perhaps the one crime perpetrated outside the U.S. that most clearly links back to the U.S. government, the CIA, and Kissinger in particular.<br><br> "I don't want revenge," he said. "I want the truth to be established."<br><br> Kissinger did not return a telephone message left at his New York office. Helms denied wrongdoing but would not discuss details, saying that he hadn't seen the suit and that "it's a long and complicated case." <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
