The Unintended Consequences and Long-Term Goals of the 9/11 Attacks

While the immediate destruction and loss of life on September 11, 2001, are the most widely recognized consequences of the terrorist attacks, a closer examination reveals that the planners achieved more than their immediate goals. They managed to obscure significant historical events and wreak havoc on various financial structures, manipulating global dynamics and shifting public perception.

Obfuscation of Significant Events

The events of September 11, 2001, overshadowed two major and hidden events that had significant impacts on the financial and political spheres. The first event involved the unaccounted $2.4 trillion in Pentagon funds, which were missing as reported on the day before the attacks. This was a staggering amount of public wealth that vanished without a clear explanation. The second event involved the creation of a “war chest” during the presidency of George H.W. Bush in 1991, marking the largest transfer of public wealth into private holdings in human history. These events were essentially hidden by the overwhelming media focus on the attacks, ensuring that they remained largely unknown to the general public despite their immense significance.

Forty-Eight Billion Missing and the War Chest

On September 10, 2001, defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld chose to hold a joint session of Congress in the late afternoon. This decision meant that the newspapers would not be able to print a story about the unaccounted $2.4 trillion in Pentagon funds until the morning. This strategic move ensured that the news would be overshadowed by the subsequent attacks. The funds were described as missing, but the possibility of theft was also strongly suspected.

Just a few days earlier, on September 12, 1991, then-President George H.W. Bush, along with a group of international bankers, established the “war chest.” This term refers to a large sum of money meant for war financing. Notably, this event marked the largest transfer of public funds into private hands in human history. The public was unaware of these intricate financial maneuvers, leading to significant distortions in the global economy and political landscape.

Further Uncovering the Depth of the Attacks

What has been even more concerning is the circumstantial evidence and details that have been largely ignored by mainstream media and history. Here are a few notable points:

The Attack on the Navy Intelligence Accounting Office

The offices that were directly investigating the missing $2.4 trillion in Pentagon funds were located near the area of the Pentagon that was under construction at the time by Bovis Lend Lease. On the day of the attack, an unidentified object hit the exact location where these offices were. As a result, all 80 of the employees and management were killed instantly. This strategic strike not only covered up the financial anomalies but also silenced the investigators, ensuring that the investigation into the missing funds was rendered futile.

The El Dorado Task Force and WTC Building 6

The El Dorado task force, a collaboration between the FBI, NYPD, and other agencies, had dedicated itself exclusively to investigating money laundering and financial crimes. The offices of this task force were located in the World Trade Center Building 6, which was destroyed by what appeared to be an explosion even before the collapse of the towers. Forty-two employees, including their entire chain of command, were killed in this explosion. Additionally, all the evidence and files related to any of its investigations were destroyed, rendering it impossible to trace further into these financial irregularities.

Terrorist Goals and Their Impact

It is evident that the attackers aimed to demonstrate to their supporters and the wider world that small, coordinated groups could inflict significant damage on a powerful nation. Osama Bin Laden was enraged by the presence of American military bases in Muslim countries and their interference in the politics of these nations. The September 11 attacks were intended to show his supporters that the US was vulnerable and weak, a paper tiger.

Their primary goal was also to provoke an overreaction that would radicalize the uncommitted population. Although the majority of Muslims did not embrace global jihad, the attacks aimed to force a reaction that would pull some of these individuals into the extremist movement. Unfortunately, this goal was not met, as President George W. Bush's statement that America was not against Islam was seen as a positive step. Moreover, the lack of large-scale attacks on American Muslims after the events of 9/11 indicated that the jihadists had not succeeded in their attempts to create a more polarized and radicalized world.

In conclusion, the September 11 attacks were far more than just an act of barbaric violence. They were a complex operation designed to achieve various strategic and financial objectives, with significant ramifications that are still felt today. The legacy of 9/11 extends far beyond the immediate tragedy, encompassing a range of obscure and troubling events that continue to shape global politics and finance.
