Jim Rickards/Max Keiser discuss 9/11 Insider Trading

http://911blogger.com/news/2014-04-04/ji...er-trading

Quote:In this episode of Max Keiser's show Kesier Report, Jim Rickards confirms that insider trading of airline stocks was taking place. To his discredit he distances himself from accusing any governmental involvement I understand he feels he must take that stance in order to maintain his "status". I don't have a problem with this per se, but he uses statements like "individual trading at Alex Brown is irrelevant" but in the same breath, describes how tracing down the initial transactions are crucial to determining those involved. Really? I wonder how many muslim terrorists Mr. Rickards thinks own airline stocks if any stocks at all? Does he think they logged into their E-trade account from Afghanistan? Did KSM have a trading account? What if the initial transactions were started at Alex Brown? HMaking a statement such as this, IMHO, is equivalent to the 9/11 Commission's statement that the financing of the attacks is of "little practical significance."

To Max's credit he stuck to the connections between Buzzy Krongard, Alex Brown, and his CIA connections. This is two part interview and the second part has not posted yet. Will post it here when it becomes available.

Part 2 of the episode, start about 13 minutes in:

I do find authors like this intensely annoying.


On the one hand they make a case for having completed extensive research of the subject sufficient to work with the CIA and then write a book on it, but sits there stony faced when the interviewer gets close to the nub of the matter by revealing that he heard from Cantor Fitzgerald (who lost two thirds of its NY employees in the World Trade centre on 9/11) that a few days prior to 9/11 they, Cantor, were buying these airline puts based on rumours that were coming out of Alex Brown.


Keiser continues by making the case that, based on what he heard from Cantor, it was CIA insiders who chose to make money rather than "blow the whistle: and do their job (unless insider trading was their job?) - but this observation is brushed aside by the awful Rickards with the comment that he didn't "have an evidence for that, Max".


Well fool, get the evidence. It's sitting there in those 2000 initial shares that were transacted that you previously indicated you had looked at earlier in your presentation.


Keiser shreds the guy with his closing cynical observations, I think.


But of course, as always, the key evidence isn't discussed in any detail. That would be counter productive wouldn't it.
