Editorial Note: Although FTW has received many reports pertaining to the

likely nature of future terrorist attacks we have refrained from

publishing them because we either felt that they were unsubstantiated or

risked causing unnecessary alarm. This story is the first such story

that we have felt it essential to report. We view the anthrax outbreaks

of recent weeks as a distracting form of psychological warfare, which do

not pose an immediate risk to any large numbers of people.

FTW, October 19, 2001, 1400 PDT - Credible information received by FTW

from a source long connected to intelligence operations, and

circumstantially supported by recent but little publicized events -

including government alerts - indicates that a number of hand-held

surface-to-air missiles, perhaps as many as 35, may have been smuggled

into the U.S. from Canada.

Events in the last two days at U.S. and French nuclear generating plants

lend credibility to the source's claims.

On October 15, Michael Riconosciuto, a computer programmer connected by

government documents to CIA and FBI intelligence operations involving

Promis software, made contact with a radio talk show host who has

requested anonymity. Riconosciuto passed on a warning that as many as 35

Russian-made surface to air missiles had been smuggled across the

Canadian border into the U.S. The movement of the missiles reportedly

occurred within the last week to ten days. According to the broadcaster

the missiles were part of a two-phase attack on the United States that

began with the World Trade Center attacks on September 11. The second

phase of the plan was to shoot down large aircraft over population

centers and/or "high value" targets.

Although Riconosciuto is currently an inmate in the federal penitentiary

at Allenwood, PA - serving a sentence on a drug conviction - he has

repeatedly been the source of highly accurate information as documented

in a number of press stories, even while in prison. His status as a

credible intelligence source, both for U.S. and foreign agencies was

confirmed last year in an investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted

Police (RCMP) national security staff. During that investigation,

members of the RCMP - tracking developments around an intelligence

software program known as Promis - visited FTW editor Michael Ruppert

and acknowledged that Riconosciuto was a key player with highly

sensitive intelligence knowledge. However, both the RCMP investigators

and Ruppert shared the opinion that Riconosciuto's information was not

always 100% accurate. (To read a fuller description on the RCMP/Promis

investigation please visit

http://www.copvcia.com/stories/may_2001/052401_promis.html.)

In a recent and unrelated development, United States government

agencies, including the Department of Justice and the FBI, acknowledged

in FOX News reports on October 17, that they had stopped using Promis.

FTW has confirmed that the FBI now admits use of the software. These

sudden reversals came after years of denials - including court testimony

- from those agencies that they had ever used the software. These

confirmations support longstanding claims made by Riconosciuto.

On the evening of October 17, as confirmed by brief but unpublicized

stories by the Associated Press and in direct interviews by FTW, the

Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear plant outside of Harrisburg, PA was put

on a state of high alert. At the same time the FAA ordered an immediate

and unexplained shutdown of the Harrisburg airport located just a few

miles from the plant.

On October 19, an AP report disclosed that France had suddenly set up a

radar system in northwest France to "sweep the skies above Europe's

largest nuclear reprocessing plant as a precaution against airborne

suicide attacks." Taken at its face the AP story seems to indicate

preparations for a different kind of attack. However, it raises

questions about why military and civilian radar systems currently in

operation would not detect an aircraft moving off course toward the

plant and might possibly be a cover to disguise other kinds of

preparations. There are too many operational variables to determine, one

way or another, if the French move is connected to events at TMI.

Harrisburg airport spokesperson, Scott Miller, told FTW that he had no

knowledge of why the FAA ordered the shutdown of the Harrisburg airport

on Wednesday night. "We were just following orders from the FAA."

FAA Eastern Regional spokesperson Jim Peters told FTW, "Even if I knew,

I'd have to refer you to the FBI.

An unidentified spokesperson at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.

told FTW, "No comment."

The Harrisburg airport reopened yesterday morning.

What is clear is that nuclear facilities have become a very clear

priority for defensive precautions since September 11.

There are 103 nuclear power plants in the United States. The French

facility at La Hague is a reprocessing facility that handles highly

radioactive nuclear waste from reactors in Europe and Asia, according to

the AP story. France is almost totally dependent on nuclear energy.

Dave Carl, speaking for the TMI plant's owner, Exelon Nuclear, told FTW,

"The events of Wednesday night began when the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) notified TMI that a security threat had been made

against the plant. The good news was that nothing happened. We are

taking extra security measures." Carl declined to state whether there

was a known direct connection between events at TMI and the Harrisburg

airport. According to Carl, TMI is currently undergoing a scheduled

refueling and maintenance period. The plant is currently shut down and

scheduled for a restart in early November.

Riconosciuto allegedly told the talk show host who forwarded the

information that he has been warning the FBI of terrorist-related

surface-to-air missile attacks for months and that the FBI has attempted

to silence him. The talk show host told FTW that Riconosciuto fears

direct reprisals for having issued a warning to the media

TODAY'S A.L.E.R.T --

CIA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 'BUZZY' KRONGARD MANAGED FIRM THAT HANDLED 'PUT' OPTIONS

ON UAL -- by Michael C. Ruppert

[© COPYRIGHT, 2001, Michael C. Ruppert and From The Wilderness Publications,

http://www.copvcia.comAll Rights Reserved. -- May be reprinted or

distributed for non-profit purposes only.

October 9, 2001 -- Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media,

there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial

markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks

on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million

prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the 'put options' on United Airlines

stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number three

Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency.

Until 1997 A.B. 'Buzzy' Krongard had been Chairman of the investment bank A.B.

Brown. A.B. Brown was acquired by Banker's Trust in 1997. Krongard then became,

as part of the merger, Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust-AB Brown, one of 20

major U.S. banks named by Senator Carl Levin this year as being connected to

money laundering.

Krongard's last position at Banker's Trust (BT) was to oversee 'private client

relations.' In this capacity he had direct hands-on relations with some of the

wealthiest people in the world in a kind of specialized banking operation that

has been identified by the U.S. Senate and other investigators as being closely

connected to the laundering of drug money.

Krongard joined the CIA in 1998 as counsel to CIA Director George Tenet. He was

promoted to CIA Executive Director by President Bush in March of this year. BT

was acquired by Deutsche Bank in 1999. The combined firm is the single largest

bank in Europe. And, as we shall see, Deutsche Bank played several key roles in

events connected to the September 11 attacks.

THE SCOPE OF KNOWN INSIDER TRADING

Before looking further into these relationships it is necessary to look at the

insider trading information that is being ignored by Reuters, The New York

Times and other mass media. It is well documented that the CIA has long

monitored such trades -- in real time -- as potential warnings of terrorist

attacks and other economic moves contrary to U.S. interests. Previous stories

in FTW have specifically highlighted the use of Promis software to monitor such

trades.

It is necessary to understand only two key financial terms to understand the

significance of these trades, 'selling short' and 'put options'. 'Selling

Short' is the borrowing of stock, selling it at current market prices, but not

being required to actually produce the stock for some time. If the stock falls

precipitously after the short contract is entered, the seller can then fulfill

the contract by buying the stock after the price has fallen and complete the

contract at the pre-crash price. These contracts often have a window of as long

as four months.

'Put Options,' are contracts giving the buyer the option to sell stocks at a

later date. Purchased at nominal prices of, for example, $1.00 per share, they

are sold in blocks of 100 shares. If exercised, they give the holder the option

of selling selected stocks at a future date at a price set when the contract is

issued. Thus, for an investment of $10,000 it might be possible to tie up

10,000 shares of United or American Airlines at $100 per share, and the seller

of the option is then obligated to buy them if the option is executed. If the

stock has fallen to $50 when the contract matures, the holder of the option can

purchase the shares for $50 and immediately sell them for $100 - regardless of

where the market then stands. A call option is the reverse of a put option,

which is, in effect, a derivatives bet that the stock price will go up.

A September 21 story by the Israeli Herzliyya International Policy Institute

for Counterterrorism, entitled 'Black Tuesday: The World's Largest Insider

Trading Scam?' documented the following trades connected to the September 11

attacks:

Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of

4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options. Assuming that

4,000 of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the

imminent attacks, these 'insiders' would have profited by almost $5 million. On

September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago

exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to

justify this imbalance; again, assuming that 4,000 of these options trades

represent 'insiders,' they would represent a gain of about $4 million.

[The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher than

normal.] No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange

in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter &

Co., which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 2,157 of its

October $45 put options bought in the three trading days before Black Tuesday;

this compares to an average of 27 contracts per day before September 6.

Morgan Stanley's share price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in the aftermath of the

attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options contracts were bought based upon

knowledge of the approaching attacks, their purchasers could have profited by

at least $1.2 million. Merrill Lynch & Co., which occupied 22 floors of the

World Trade Center, saw 12,215 October $45 put options bought in the four

trading days before the attacks; the previous average volume in those shares

had been 252 contracts per day [a 1200% increase!].

When trading resumed, Merrill's shares fell from $46.88 to $41.50; assuming

that 11,000 option contracts were bought by 'insiders,' their profit would have

been about $5.5 million. European regulators are examining trades in Germany's

Munich Re, Switzerland's Swiss Re, and AXA of France, all major reinsurers with

exposure to the Black Tuesday disaster. [FTW Note: AXA also owns more than 25%

of American Airlines stock making the attacks a 'double whammy' for them.]

On September 29, 2001 - in a vital story that has gone unnoticed by the major

media - the San Francisco Chronicle reported, 'Investors have yet to collect

more than $2.5 million in profits they made trading options in the stock of

United Airlines before the Sept. 11, terrorist attacks, according to a source

familiar with the trades and market data.

'The uncollected money raises suspicions that the investors -- whose identities

and nationalities have not been made public -- had advance knowledge of the

strikes.' They don't dare show up now. The suspension of trading for four days

after the attacks made it impossible to cash-out quickly and claim the prize

before investigators started looking.

'October series options for UAL Corp. were purchased in highly unusual volumes

three trading days before the terrorist attacks for a total outlay of $2,070;

investors bought the option contracts, each representing 100 shares, for 90

cents each. [This represents 230,000 shares]. Those options are now selling at

more than $12 each. There are still 2,313 so-called 'put' options outstanding

[valued at $2.77 million and representing 231,300 shares] according to the

Options Clearinghouse Corp.'

'The source familiar with the United trades identified Deutsche Bank Alex.

Brown, the American investment banking arm of German giant Deutsche Bank, as

the investment bank used to purchase at least some of these options' This was

the operation managed by Krongard until as recently as 1998.

As reported in other news stories, Deutsche Bank was also the hub of insider

trading activity connected to Munich just before the attacks.

CIA, THE BANKS AND THE BROKERS

Understanding the interrelationships between CIA and the banking and brokerage

world is critical to grasping the already frightening implications of the above

revelations. Let's look at the history of CIA, Wall Street and the big banks by

looking at some of the key players in CIA's history.

Clark Clifford - The National Security Act of 1947 was written by Clark

Clifford, a Democratic Party powerhouse, former Secretary of Defense, and one-

time advisor to President Harry Truman. In the 1980s, as Chairman of First

American Bancshares, Clifford was instrumental in getting the corrupt CIA drug

bank BCCI a license to operate on American shores. His profession: Wall Street

lawyer and banker.

John Foster and Allen Dulles - These two brothers 'designed' the CIA for

Clifford. Both were active in intelligence operations during WW II. Allen

Dulles was the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland where he met frequently with Nazi

leaders and looked after U.S. investments in Germany. John Foster went on to

become Secretary of State under Dwight Eisenhower and Allen went on to serve as

CIA Director under Eisenhower and was later fired by JFK. Their professions:

partners in the most powerful - to this day - Wall Street law firm of Sullivan,

Cromwell.

Bill Casey - Ronald Reagan's CIA Director and OSS veteran who served as chief

wrangler during the Iran-Contra years was, under President Richard Nixon,

Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. His profession: Wall Street

lawyer and stockbroker.

David Doherty - The current Vice President of the New York Stock Exchange for

enforcement is the retired General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency.

George Herbert Walker Bush - President from 1989 to January 1993, also served

as CIA Director for 13 months from 1976-7. He is now a paid consultant to the

Carlyle Group, the 11th largest defense contractor in the nation, which also

shares joint investments with the bin Laden family.

A.B. 'Buzzy' Krongard - The current Executive Director of the Central

Intelligence Agency is the former Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown

and former Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust.

John Deutch - This retired CIA Director from the Clinton Administration

currently sits on the board at Citigroup, the nation's second largest bank,

which has been repeatedly and overtly involved in the documented laundering of

drug money. This includes Citigroup's 2001 purchase of a Mexican bank known to

launder drug money, Banamex.

Nora Slatkin - This retired CIA Executive Director also sits on Citibank's

board.

Maurice 'Hank' Greenburg - The CEO of AIG insurance, manager of the third

largest capital investment pool in the world, was floated as a possible CIA

Director in 1995. FTW exposed Greenberg's and AIG's long connection to CIA drug

trafficking and covert operations in a two-part series that was interrupted

just prior to the attacks of September 11. AIG's stock has bounced back

remarkably well since the attacks. To read that story, please go to

http://www.copvcia.com/stories/part_2.html.

One wonders how much damning evidence is necessary to respond to what is now

irrefutable proof that CIA knew about the attacks and did not stop them.

Whatever our government is doing, whatever the CIA is doing, it is clearly NOT

in the interests of the American people, especially those who died on September

11.

THE 'THREE RULES'

The principled American who decides to exercise his or her rights in the face

of a government that ignores the Constitution and due process needs to pay

careful heed to the following THREE RULES, and in this exact order:

· RULE #1 -- Protect Property

· RULE #2 -- Get Educated

· RULE #3 -- Take Action? (see rules 1 and 2)

Regrettably, many act unwisely and reverse this order of events. Their eyes

become open to the truth and, in their frustration or outrage, they may stop

filing tax returns as 1 in 5 Americans already have, by the IRS' own admission.

They have already taken action (RULE #3), yet they remain largely uninformed as

to our nation's written tax laws (RULE #2). And their property and income

streams are still fully exposed to plunder (lien, levy and seizure) and/or

opportunistic/predatory lawsuits (RULE #1). The result: they have just shot

themselves in one or both feet.

Savvy Americans who are serious about applying the advantages of real-world

asset protection complete RULE #1 before all else. As a bonus, their estate

will never be probated nor will their children's inheritance be shrunk one day

due to misapplication of federal estate and inheritance tax law.

The bottom line: too many procrastinate and later regret that RULE #1 was not

their first order of business. Don't let this happen to you.

Feel free to ask us for a referral to a reliable and knowledgeable asset

protection provider.
