Comment: While the Gamestop story and its implications have caught the attention of the world in the last several days, there is a far larger story which suggests how Wall Street, the banking industry and US intelligence agencies have worked towards the organized fleecing of the general public; including the investigative agencies that are meant to bring arch criminality to justice - but don't...
There can be no dispute that speculative trade in put options - where a party bets that a stock will drop abruptly in value - spiked in the days around September 11, 2001 - even if the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the 9/11 Commission will not say so. More than a few people must have had advance warning of the terror attacks, and they cashed in to the tune of millions of dollars.
Is there any truth in the allegations that informed circles made substantial profits in the financial markets in connection to the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States?
Arguably, the best place to start is by examining put options, which occurred around Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to an abnormal extent, and at the beginning via software that played a key role: the Prosecutor's Management Information System, abbreviated as PROMIS. [i]
PROMIS is a software program that seems to be fitted with almost "magical" abilities. Furthermore, it is the subject of a decades-long dispute between its inventor, Bill Hamilton, and various people/institutions associated with intelligence agencies, military and security consultancy firms. [1]
One of the "magical" capabilities of PROMIS, one has to assume, is that it is equipped with artificial intelligence and was apparently from the outset "able to simultaneously read and integrate any number of different computer programs or databases, regardless of the language in which the original programs had been written or the operating systems and platforms on which that database was then currently installed."

Comment: The sick levels of greed and the unquenchable thirst for power exist at levels that are almost unimaginable to most relatively healthy and normally adjusted individuals. But until many more people truly understand how this is true - and are willing to address this problem of all problems, - psychopaths in positions of power - many millions of people will continue to be subjected to the injury and violence of pathologically motivated high crime.
