RE-EVALUATING NYPD PERFORMANCE ON 9-11
Last year on 9-11, 343 firemen and 23 policemen were killed . As these figures show, it is obvious which faction of uniformed public servants suffered the worst losses. Painful as it may be, the following questions must be asked:
* Why was there such a huge discrepancy in fatality rates between these two groups of equally-lauded individuals?
* Why have mainstream media outlets fostered equal public adulation for both police and firemen, when the firemen suffered many times more losses?
* Why is every police department across the nation permitted, (if not encouraged), to bask in the reflected glory of the NYPD (undeserved as it may be)?
* Are we supposed to believe that the lives of policemen are worth more than the lives of the other decedents?
Don't forget, before 9-11 unjustifiably whitewashed their image, the NYPD had a far more sinister, far more realistic, and far more deserved reputation. Are we supposed to forget this fact, (and ignore reality), simply because twenty-three police officers happened to die on the same day that 15 times as many firemen died, and 130 times as many civilians died?
These questions become even more pressing in light of a credible report that the NYC Police Department may in fact be largely responsible for the tragic and unnecessary deaths of firemen on 9-11. According to an independent study commissioned by the City of New York, the failure of the NYPD to share vital information with the FDNY in a timely manner contributed to the horrific carnage among the firemen.
Look at what's been happening to our very freedom at home.

I think getting rid of the evidence harboured in the pentagon was merely a bonus, the increase in put options a way for people in the know to make money. I still think the main reason was to galvanize the population for the coming wars and to push through the patriot and victory acts.

If the investigation were conducted like a normal police investigation, it looks very different. If it were a RICO case, the question qui bono or who benefits is the first way to point fingers towards the guilty parties. Obviously, no one in Afghanistan or Iraq has benefited in any way from this. None of the real people, at least, Halliburton is raking in billions off the war along with plenty of other vultures.
There was much said about the huge surge in put options of AA and Delta the day before. No one seemed to squawk much about how the SEC somehow can't figure out who placed all these put options. Now, I'm not in the habit of placing hundred million dollar put options, but I'm pretty sure you can't just do it anonymously, otherwise insider trading would be the norm. However, those options are a mere drop in the bucket. And let's not forget the "misplaced" billions at the Pentagon Rummy admitted on Sept 10, which were never mentioned again.
When looking at the Pentagon, according to the OS the plane circled almost completely around the building, passing over the Capitol and the White House. Somehow, those were not considered good enough targets for those "islamofascists" . After spiraling almost completely around, the "plane" struck the one side of the five sided structure that was nearly empty due to remodeling, and had been for a long time. Since an operation of this magnitude requires at least a little planning, it's likely the pilot, or whomever was controlling the "plane' would at least have had a fair inkling that that side of the Pentagon had been under construction for over a year. It was not a secret.
Since the White House and the Capitol were passed over, obviously those were not targets. The "plane" obviously had a specific target in mind. There was only one office occupied in that wing of the Pentagon: The Office of Naval Investigations. They were busy investigating massive money laundering involving ten year bonds from .............Sept 11, 1991. All their files containing the work of years of investigations, and all the evidence amassed, were destroyed in the attack.
And the two main clearing firms under investigation? The other two planes just happened to strike right into their offices in the WTC, conveniently destroying all the evidence. Hmmm.
When looked at as a racketeering investigation, it suddenly looks like it has a lot to do with the forced collapse of the Soviet economy, and the consequent looting of resources in the early 90s by "oligarchs" there. It goes back to the Iran Contra affair, and more. Evidence was destroyed to cover up massive fraud committed by people in high places.

An investigation like a police investigation has been conducted, you just haven't read it yet.
