The Greatest Scandal of our Time
By William H. Helbig
I recently wrote an OpEdnews news piece about the possible connection between apparent insider trading and the mysterious domestic cross-country flight of a B-52 bomber carrying live Nuclear-tipper Cruise Missiles. When I assembled all of the relevant facts about the events that occurred within this short period, which is late August of 2007, it occurred to me that I had failed to offer a critical analysis of motive. This is the classic phenomenon of who benefits from a crime, and who loses from the same. The B-52 Bomber incident put in motion a series of events, possibly pre-planned by the Bush Administration, to bomb, using Nuclear-tipped weapons, targets presumably in Iran. However, when all the dots are connected, I see something far more insidious, something on the level of a Sith Lord lusting for power, wealth, and a disdain for sentient life.
I will now summarize the time-line of the historic events below, and then I will offer an analysis of the motive behind the strategy employed by the individuals involved in this narrowly averted worldwide disaster.
Early August – Karl Rove submits his resignation as presidential advisor effective August 31, 2007.
August 27, 2007 - Unknown entities place $billions in put options contracts in both United States and European stock markets. The contract runs from August 27 through September 21, 2007.
August 30, 2007 – A B-52 Bomber armed with five Nuclear-tipped Cruise Missiles flies from North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. Air Force Personnel quarantine the Plane.
September 6, 2007 – Israel bombs Syria in an unprovoked attack on a remote object in the Syrian Desert.
September 9, 2007 – The Russian Newspaper Pravda reports that the United States Military brought a super-secret KH-13 Spy Satellite out of orbit to prevent its use by elements of the Bush Administration to use, ostensibly, the satellite to target the Cruise Missiles on the B-52 Bomber.
September 23, 2007 – Qatar and the UAE buy stakes in the London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.
Analysis of Motive
Karl Rove was supposedly the best friend of George W. Bush, and as many in the media referred to him, George Bush’s brain. Rove was possibly the architect of Bush’s successful second term in the White House, and many policies and strategies that successfully controlled public opinion. He was arguably the master of manipulation concerning public opinion, and the engine driving the continuous volume of daily events that drive history. So why would Bush’s best friend abandon him instead of riding out the rest of Bush’s second term as a lame duck? It is clear to me that something extraordinary had to propel Rove to resign. One could speculate that he simply did not agree with how leadership in the White House was planning the final stage of events in the Middle East. Therefore, we can all possibly agree that an extraordinary event would propel Rove to resign as presidential advisor. To drive a wedge between best friends, the hammer must be incredibly powerful.
The insider trading that occurred on August 27 was in the $billions of dollars. Option traders referred to these trades as “Bin Laden” trades, referring to the insider trading that preceded September 11, 2001. What makes these put options (short selling) so spectacular is the trigger necessary to make billions in profits, a downward market-move of 50 percent, would require a world-shattering event as the primary catalyst to drive the markets down. Would the bombing of Iran with Nuclear-tipped cruise missiles provide such a trigger mechanism to drive markets downward? On the other hand, was something far more sinister in the works?
As reported in the media, on August 30 a B-52 Bomber armed with five Nuclear-tipped Cruise Missiles flies cross-country in direct violation of US Air Force regulations concerning the transportation of live nuclear weapons. It flies from an Air Force base in North Dakota and lands in Barksdale Air Force in Louisiana, where Air Force personnel immediately quarantine the bomber. On September 6, 2007, Israel bombs Syria in an unprovoked attack. The attack destroyed a possible nuclear site or a military ammunition dump. Three days later the Russian newspaper Pravda reports the US military purposely removed one of its spy satellites from orbit to possibly prevent it from targeting the cruise missiles by the Bush administration for, ostensibly, an attack on Iran/Iraq. The satellite lands in Peru where hundreds are sickened by radiation poisoning. The reporting concludes that there is an extensive divide between the US military (Pentagon), and the Bush Administration (Cheney, Bush, and Rice). If these facts are true, a few brave Air Force personnel prevented World War 3, and denied the people who planned this event, their share of profits in the insider trading fraud initiated on August 27, 2007.
