Kucinich to Investigate 9/11 Insider Trading by Lex Jones (Posted by Mystic Wizard) |
|
|
Aaron Dykes / JonesReport.com | February 20, 2008 Congressman Dennis Kucinich revealed that he is initiating an investigation into the insider trading that took place leading up to 9/11, particularly in regards to put options placed on American Airlines and United Airlines stock. Kucinich said that he had personal questions about the implications insider trading had. "I've indicated a long-standing interest in gathering information and trying to get to the bottom of exactly what happened with respect to all the stock activity that took place preceding 9/11." Kucinich said. 
"I'm not afraid to ask questions about 9/11"
Kucinich said it was the bizarre record-level put options that caught his attention initially. The odd trades heavily indicate prior knowledge of the September 11 attacks and have raised a number of questions that Kucinich hopes to probe.
"First of all, I'm not afraid to ask questions about 9/11," Kucinich told the Alex Jones Show.
"From my own personal standpoint, I've had long-standing questions about why this volume, why those airlines, why that time, who made the buys, why did they buy them, who told them to make the buys, who was involved? There are questions there that need to be answered as part of an effort to get to the truth," Kucinich said.
He made clear he was not yet pointing the finger. "I don't know what happened. I'm not alleging anything here. But I sure want to find out how it happened."
But Kucinich hopes that inquiries in a committee hearing would clarify the information and answer questions.
"I think we need to talk to the people who were involved in making those transactions in order to try to figure out why they were made, for example, American Airlines and United Airlines stock." Kucinich said.
At least two FBI agents have been previously charged for their smaller roles in the insider trading. The NY Times has reported on the cases, but larger coverage of the issue has been largely ignored by the mainstream media, and no larger probe has been underway until now.
Kucinich has also promised to hold hearings on the health of 9/11 first responders. He has already met with a number of rescue workers to hear their stories and is in the process of bringing forth information to committee.
The Congressman warned, however, that his seat has been hotly contested by 'Cleveland corporate interests' who have sunk millions into defeating Kucinich. He pleaded for help to win his local election, but remained steadfast.
"I can't be bought and I can't be bossed." Kucinich said. "I'm going to keep speaking the truth, I'm going to keep seeking the truth, and as long as people are there to support that, I'll be in Congress."

Good for Dennis!
434 other members of the House and no one else would touch this just as no else would initiate impeachment except Dennis. That's why he's in a class by himself. by djk (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 24 comments) on Friday, Feb 22, 2008 at 10:29:05 PM (0+)

And while he's at it...
Maybe he could look into the anthrax "investigation" farce, and the CIA destruction of the interrogation tapes farce, and for that matter the farce that was the 911 commission itself...or any of the other things that clearly point to government complicity. by Harold Smith (0 articles, 3 quicklinks, 2 diaries, 556 comments [1 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Feb 23, 2008 at 7:09:03 AM (0+)

The courage of Dennis Kucinich
I am constantly amazed and inspired by the courage of this man. In the face of the opposition he faces in keeping his Congressional seat, Kucinich continues to ask the questions and speak truth to power. I wish America had the opportunity to have him as their President, but I know without a doubt losing him in Congress would be sad beyond belief. Please help his campaign at www.kucinich.us by donating as much as you can. by treehugger (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 38 comments) on Saturday, Feb 23, 2008 at 11:07:13 AM (0+)

alternative theory
The common idea presented for the heavy trading of the airlines and insurance companies is that it was due to ordinary insider trading, that is, people in the know traded for their advantage. An alternative theory is this: The people in the know were too wealthy, too well connected and too savy to do the trading. They didn't need the money. They provided information to the many contractors involved in the setting of the explosives and the removal of evidence, to enable them to make a profit. In this way the contractors were paid without creating a money trail from the organizers. by gravity32 (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 201 comments [38 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Feb 23, 2008 at 5:36:11 PM (0+)

If Waterboard Testimony Valid So Are Lie Detector Tests
Small of physical stature Dennis is the only real giant in Congress. While you're at it Dennis see if you can recover info on the hundreds of insider trading cases that were destroyed when WTC building #7 mysteriously collapsed from 'fire' the firemen said was under control. If we can waterboard 'suspected' terrorists, why can't we subject 'suspected' CIA agents, Silverstein, the 911 Commission members, and others implicated to at least lie detector tests. The info gained would probably be as valid as that gained by torture methods such as waterboarding, to be sure. by Paul Magill Smith (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 135 comments [46 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Feb 23, 2008 at 6:08:47 PM (0+)
