>Sources tell CBS News that the afternoon before the attack, alarm bells were sounding over unusual trading in the U.S. stock options market.
>An extraordinary number of trades were betting that American Airlines stock price would fall.
>The trades are called "puts" and they involved at least 450,000 shares of American. But what raised the red flag is more than 80 percent of the orders were "puts", far outnumbering "call" options, those betting the stock would rise.
>The next next day 9/11 happened making the trader millions
What ever happened here?

The Mysterious Universe podcast went over a book (can't remember the name and googling relevant terms brings up a clusterfuck of shit) several years ago that detailed the story of how there was a counter-terrorism task force setup before 9/11 that focused on using analysis of short selling to look for terrorists funding future activity by shorting companies that were about to be impacted by an attack. The task force, comprised largely of economists rather than spooks, had their model successfully catch all that shorting against the airlines and flag a potential attack involving airline hijacking. When they passed on the warning to their spook liaisons, not only were they ignored but the task force was promptly shuttered.

Of course, that was just one more rather specific warning handed off to the intelligence agencies. Britain, Israel, and Russia shared intelligence with the US in the lead-up to 9/11 warning of an impending terrorist attack with the Russian warning also being so specific as to mention airline hijackings sometime during the week of 9/11.

Orders from above to ignore the multiple, specific warnings
9/11 was an inside job, the highest levels of government, military, financial, corporate, media, and academic institutions are all occupied by oligarchical families that have been conspiring for hundreds of years to siphon wealth from the plebs while creating a neo-feudal system of invisible slavery

Markets can predict. Someone suggested a terrorism market and people got all up in arms so it didn’t happen

This was well known. At the time there looked like something was going to clean up all the wall street corruption. All that was forgotten after 9/11 though, and people in scandal pre 9/11 were given roles on commisions. Look up Chandra Levy
