Isn't is amazing how Currency Wars can destabilize entire world economies by making money worthless?

Yes. All these conspiracy theories on 9/11/2001 seem to forget the first time around. The Encyclopedia Britannica seems to have more complete info than Wikipedia:

World Trade Center bombing of 1993
terrorist attack, New York City, New York, United States
https://www.britannica.com/event/World-Trade-Center-bombing-of-1993

"Date: February 26, 1993
Location: New York New York City United States
Key People: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Ramzi Ahmed Yousef
World Trade Center bombing of 1993, terrorist attack in New York City on February 26, 1993, in which a truck bomb exploded in a basement-level parking garage under the World Trade Center complex. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured in what was at that time the deadliest act of terrorism perpetrated on U.S. soil.

"The attack
The World Trade Center bombing plot began in the months before September 1, 1992, when two of the main conspirators, Ahmad Ajaj and Ramzi Yousef, arrived in the United States from Pakistan. Upon detecting his poorly falsified Swedish passport, customs agents detained Ajaj and confiscated his suitcase, which contained bombing manuals and anti-American propaganda. Yousef, traveling on an Iraqi passport bearing the name Abdel Basit Mahmoud, requested political asylum. He was arrested for entering the United States without a visa but was released on his own recognizance and allowed into the country. While Ajaj waited in jail, Yousef began to implement a plan that allegedly aimed at toppling the twin towers of the World Trade Center. On October 1 he moved into a rented room in the Little Egypt section of Jersey City, New Jersey, with another conspirator, Mohammad Salameh.

"The plotters purchased bomb-making materials and stored them in a locker rented by Salameh. On January 1, 1993, Salameh also rented a garage apartment in Jersey City for use as a bomb factory. Over the next several weeks, the group assembled a 1,500-pound (680-kilogram) bomb, and Salameh went on scouting missions to the World Trade Center. Yousef called an associate, Eyad Ismoil, who arrived in New York just days before the bombing.

"On February 23, 1993, Salameh rented a van, which he reported stolen two days later in order to establish an alibi. The men purchased several tanks of hydrogen gas and loaded them into the bomb-laden van to magnify the power of the explosion. In the early morning hours of February 26, Mahmud Abouhalima, another conspirator, filled the gas tanks of his car and the rented van. Yousef, Abouhalima, Salameh, and Ismoil then drove to Lower Manhattan.

"The van was left in a parking garage in the World Trade Center complex. At 12:18 PM the explosives detonated, opening a blast crater six stories deep and 200 feet wide. Within hours Salameh went to the rental agency to claim his deposit for the “stolen” van; he was told to return later. Ismoil fled to Jordan, and Yousef, the mastermind of the operation, was on a flight to Karachi, Pakistan, that evening. By the time Yousef had left the country, authorities had already received more than 50 phone calls claiming responsibility for the bombing, as well as a handful of fake bomb threats at targets throughout New York City. With few leads, the initial suspects included Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi and Iraqi Pres. Ṣaddām Ḥussein. Ḥussein seemed the most likely candidate, as the bombing took place on the second anniversary of his defeat by U.S. forces in Kuwait.

Investigation and trial
Within two days of the bombing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uncovered a charred and mangled piece of the van’s chassis that bore its vehicle identification number. That number led authorities to the rental agency in Jersey City. On March 4, when Salameh returned to claim the refund on his deposit, the FBI arrested him. The rental agreement in Salameh’s pocket bore traces of bomb residue as well as the address of the Jersey City apartment. At the apartment, authorities found another roommate, Abdul Rahman Yasin, who led them to the bomb factory. Yasin, who was not taken into custody, left the country the next day, headed for Iraq. Abouhalima had also fled New York, for Saudi Arabia. He was arrested in Egypt on March 10, the same day Nidal Ayyad, another conspirator, was arrested in New Jersey. With Yasin in Iraq and Yousef still at large, a federal grand jury in Manhattan handed down an 11-count indictment against Salameh, Abouhalima, Ayyad, and a man named Bilal Alkaisi, who turned himself in to police in late March. Ajaj, Yousef’s traveling companion in 1992, was indicted in May 1993.

"The trial began on September 16, 1993. The cases against Salameh and Ayyad were the strongest. Salameh was linked to each stage of the plot through phone, bank, and rental records, and Ayyad was considered the spokesman for the plot. Authorities recovered a draft of a communiqué sent to The New York Times from his computer. This document claimed responsibility for the bombing in the name of the 5th Battalion of the Liberation Army and demanded that the United States cease giving aid to Israel. Abouhalima was placed at the garage apartment on many occasions and at the gas station the morning of the bombing. Ajaj, who had spent the duration of the plot in jail, was implicated as Yousef’s associate and charged with carrying the bombing manuals from Pakistan. Various defense attorneys repeated the argument that Yousef, the apparent architect of the bombing, had duped the defendants, who were portrayed as unwitting participants. On March 4, 1994—after four months, 1,000 exhibits, and more than 200 witnesses—Salameh, Ayyad, Abouhalima, and Ajaj were all convicted and each sentenced to 240 years in prison.

"After a two-year manhunt, Yousef was captured in Pakistan in February 1995. He and Ismoil, who was arrested in Jordan in August 1995, were tried and convicted in the fall of 1997.

"Ramzi Ahmed Yousef
"Introduction
Last Updated: Apr 23, 2024 • Article History
Born: April 27, 1968, Kuwait (age 55)
Role In: World Trade Center bombing of 1993
Ramzi Ahmed Yousef (born April 27, 1968, Kuwait) Kuwaiti-born militant who masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He was part of some of the most ambitious terrorist conspiracies discovered to date, including a thwarted plot to blow up 11 airliners over the Pacific Ocean.

"Born in Kuwait to Pakistani and Palestinian parents, Yousef traveled to the United Kingdom to study electrical engineering and improve his English language skills. He returned to Kuwait after completing his education but left after the Iraqi invasion in 1990, eventually making his way to Afghanistan. There he received training in bomb-making and traveled abroad to work as a recruiter for the nascent al-Qaeda organization. He met with members of the Abu Sayyaf Group in the Philippines in an effort to establish a foothold in the region, and in September 1992 Yousef flew to New York City. There, he made contact with radical Egyptian-born cleric Omar Abdel Rahman, and Yousef gathered the personnel and material that he would need to execute his planned attack on the World Trade Center.

"Over the subsequent months, Yousef and his confederates assembled an approximately 1,500-pound (680-kilogram) bomb. They placed it in a rented van, and on February 26, 1993, the bomb was detonated in an underground garage in the World Trade Center. Six people were killed and over 1,000 were injured in the attack, and that evening Yousef was on a flight bound for Pakistan. Yousef’s associates—Mohammad Salameh, Mahmud Abouhalima, Nidal Ayyad, and Ahmad Ajaj—were tried and convicted for their roles in the bombing.

"It is believed that by July 1993, Islamist militants had approached Yousef about coordinating and carrying out an assassination plot against Benazir Bhutto in advance of the October 1993 Pakistani general elections. During one failed attempt, a detonator exploded in Yousef’s face and the men abandoned the plot to rush Yousef to a hospital. Investigators alleged that Yousef again failed to assassinate Bhutto when a gun to be used by a sniper was not delivered in time for one of her public addresses.

"By spring 1994, Yousef was in Thailand, where he coordinated a plot to bomb the Israeli embassy in Bangkok. On March 11, 1994, a bomb was loaded into a stolen van and driven toward the embassy, but the van was in an accident and the driver fled. Authorities discovered the bomb, still undetonated, days after the van was impounded. In June 1994 Yousef arranged the bombing of a Shīʿite shrine in Mashhad, Iran, in which 26 people were killed. He then left for the Philippines, where he trained members of Abu Sayyaf in the use of explosives. At the time, Osama bin Laden was financing Abu Sayyaf, and through the group it is believed that bin Laden had requested that Yousef assassinate U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton during his trip to the Philippines in November 1994. The venture was a logistical nightmare and proved too difficult for Yousef.

"Yousef turned his attention to a plot he had been working on since arriving in Manila, called Project Bojinka (Serbo-Croatian for “loud explosion”). Project Bojinka was Yousef’s most elaborate and ambitious scheme to date. He planned to blow up 11 U.S. airliners almost simultaneously over the Pacific Ocean, using small but strategically placed bombs made of liquid nitroglycerin, which could pass through airport detectors unnoticed and be assembled in an airplane bathroom using little more than two batteries and a watch.

"During this time Yousef had also hatched a plan to assassinate Pope John Paul II. On December 8, 1994, Yousef rented a street-facing room along the route the pope would travel on his visit to Manila. Three days later, Yousef boarded Philippines Airlines flight 434 in Manila. Once on board, he assembled a bomb in the bathroom and placed it under his seat. Yousef disembarked in Cebu, and the bomb exploded while the plane was en route to Tokyo, killing one passenger and injuring several others. Abu Sayyaf claimed responsibility for the bombing, while Yousef continued to fine-tune his plot to assassinate the pope.

"On January 6, 1995, while mixing chemicals intended for bombs, Yousef and an associate started a small fire in their room. When police arrived, both men had already fled, leaving behind bomb-making materials and Yousef’s laptop. The laptop provided authorities with information related to the planned assassination of the pope, as well as a file named “Bojinka,” which detailed how five men were to plant bombs on 11 American planes in the Far East. The first scheduled bombing was January 21, 1995, just weeks away.

After fleeing, Yousef returned to Pakistan, where he tried to enlist the help of a man who later alerted authorities to his presence in Islamabad. On February 7, 1995, Pakistani authorities captured Yousef in his hotel room. He was flown to the United States after his arrest to await trial for the World Trade Center bombing and the Bojinka plot. On September 5, 1996, Yousef was convicted for the bombing and assassination conspiracy, and in November 1997 he was also found guilty of the World Trade Center bombing. The verdicts carried a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole."

Is this of some use? It would be interesting to read the original WTC insurance company's list of needed repairs and renovations and the length of time completed or uncompleted. The two towers were a "White Elephant" impossible to sell "as-is" with gas pipes running up the central elevator shaft. Who would have known about this?

If you want the answers, you can mail your request to the Builitt County Museum for $10.00.

I think I passed most of the questions, math, English Grammar, and geography but had to look up the definition of "kalsomine" - it is an old style white paint used as a base after plastering walls and I did not know some of the early explorers.

Did you try taking the test? Nobody in college today paying $90.000/year would pass it and we old fogies are expected to do Biden Bailouts of student loans while devaluing the dollar to a dime!

You tell me who is nuts?

Why not save our children and the taxpayer billions of dollars? Shut down the US Dpt. of Education.

My grandparents got a better education in a 1 room school house teaching the 3Rs.
Leave education up to the states and advocate parental choice with vouchers.
Let's stop playing the race card, homophobic card, and class warfare card for divide-and-conquer politics of socialism. Oh, oh, the drama.

Eagleye,
I watched what I could on my computer, but I must greatly disagree with this "false flag" documentary which is too far extended on all US history. For example, 9/11 needs further investigation on the WTC collapse because of its weak design of kitchenet gas pipes running up the elevator shaft and under the entire block. It took years to remodel the building and it was still incomplete by the second WTC attack. Insurance companies and contractors surely must have known this flaw after the First WTC bombing when Bill Clinton took office in 1993. Clinton should have been aware.

And there is next to no mention of the 800 banks that were robbed at midnight of 9/11 when normal bank transfers were sidetracked to a branch of the Bank of New York, some $4 billion dollars worth, (a Russian Mafia depository). People forget the Clintons were in charge of Y2K reorganization of electronic bank deposits by re-tabulation of the encryption of dates one year before 9/11/2001. Hillary and the Rose Law firm worked for the electronic banking company SYSTEMATICS and the CIA during Whitewater.

Commies like capital too "money."

The Mossad is ready to screw George Soros for his OSI Foundation backing the Palestinians and HAMAS, so now, Soros has picked up a giant fig leaf. So have his kids, just about as Jewish as Saddam Hussein. It is an old commie trick to sin in the name of your enemy. You can't worship the Government first and then pretend to worship God.

I have posted some of Soros' Open Society Institute Foundations funding terrorists on this thread a page back listed in Connect the Networks.

The stoutest enemy is always of the household, to quote T.E. Lawrence who worked with Cham Weisman and Arabs to build and create a new wealthy state for Arabs and Jews together in the Levant after the Treaty of Versailles, long before Trump's Abraham, Accord.

Oh, good grief. According to George Soros himself, he is not Jewish, does not recognize a "god" and had no qualms of working for the Nazis as a teenager during the Holocaust. By now, his interview on 60 Minutes in 1998 is infamous.

As the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, after the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, the freed New Russian federation's currency was under attack by George Soros collapsing the Russian Ruble putting Soros on the hitlist of INTERPOL. He spoke the truth to everybody's face.

It has long been a political strategy of inciting a communist revolution by plagues and bank robbery since Jessie James worked for the Confederate Knights of the Golden Circle under General Albert Pike.

Not to mention Progressive President Woodrow Wilson's creation of the Federal Reserve Bank and its funding the Bank of International Settlements to rebuild Germany, and subsidize the Bolshevik Revolution. Or note Kaiser Wilhelm robbing his own treasury during WW1 to fund the overthrow of the Czar Nicholas and the rise plagues of typhus, relapsing fever and brucellosis and Lenin.

Once again, we see this with Dr. Fauci NIH and EcoLabs work with the Wuhan Lab's COVID19 plague and international government central banks devaluing their currencies to prop up resulting stagnant economies. With this, it is impossible for the poor to work their way out of poverty and makes socialism more attractive, picking the pockets of the rich resulting in trickle-down taxes.

Held to be both by whoom? Hitler certainly declared the Jews were a race, but how can that be with Black Jews of Ethiopia, brown Jews of India, Chinese Jews in Harbin Manchuria, Moroccan Jews in Africa, and blond, blue-eyed Jews in Poland, not to mention Oak Island harboring the Crusader's treasures of King Solomon?

Yet if Hitler was such a racist, why was he allied with Japan? Why deal with the Jerusalem Muftis for oil in the Levant or Vichy French in Algeria or Blacks in the Belgium Congo for uranium?

There is a copy of the NAZI party platform in the Appendix of Jonah Goldberg's book: "Liberal Fascism":

#24. "We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger the existence or oppose the moral sense of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: common utility precedes individual utility."

This NAZI Party pitch is for SOCIALISM over CAPITALISM, not a genetic question of Jewish race or color.

If you read the entire NAZI Party platform, you would think it was written by the Democrat Party in the United States. Free government subsidies for everyone, healthcare, college, housing, retirement pensions, etc..

Much of what you write is true, but you stated:

"The old Marxist divide and conquer ploy is being used. Americans used to live together in relative peace."

Remember, there are over 40 Muslim nations, 80% are Sunnis and our allies. The Arabs in the Middle East represent 15% of all Muslims, and only some 8 of them were on Trump's watchlist for subsidizing terrorism and banned from entering the USA. Let us not fall prey to the communists efforts to pit the 3 Children of Abraham against eachother.

We need the expertise of our Muslims to help translate the truckloads of documents left behind by Saddam Hussein and other terrorist sponsoring nations. Out of 2 billion Muslims on earth, 7 million reside in the USA and hold no hatred towards Jews or Christians who give them shelter here in America.

Remember, religion ("the opiate of the people" according to Lenin and Mao) is the greatest enemy of communism, especially the Ten Commandments - Thow shalt not make false testimony, nor covet thy neighbor's wife or property, steal, kill, worship false idols, nor kill your children if you are poor, etc... which is in all religious constitutions.

As for these idiot HAMAS demonstrators at our universities, it might be prudent to cancel all student loan Biden Bailouts.

There is no point in peeing our tax money down a rathole.

Thank you Steven Smith for the lesson in common sense.

Stop. Trump "was proven guilty" but not convicted. What the heck is the matter with your brain?

No, Soros is not Jewish.
This is my response to Proud Republican on April 23, 2024:

Wow, this is absurd. Ironically, HAMAS would kill them all in a heartbeat, the same way George Soros's sympathetic Israelis for Palestine were slaughtered. Take a look at who Soros's Open Society Institute Foundation supported:

"Organizations Funded Directly by George Soros and his Open Society Institute

By Discover The Networks
Organizations that, in recent years, have received direct funding and assistance from George Soros and his Open Society Institute (OSI) include the following. (Comprehensive profiles of each are available in the "Groups" section of DiscoverTheNetworks.org):

"...Arab American Institute Foundation: The Arab American Institute denounces the purportedly widespread civil liberties violations directed against Arab Americans in the post-9/11 period, and characterizes Israel as a brutal oppressor of the Palestinian people.

"...Gisha: Center for the Legal Protection of Freedom of Movement: This anti-Israel organization seeks to help Palestinians "exercise their right to freedom of movement."

"...Global Exchange: Established in 1988 by pro-Castro radical Medea Benjamin, this group consistently condemns America's foreign poli-cy, business practices, and domestic life. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Global Exchange advised Americans to examine "the root causes of resentment against the United States in the Arab world -- from our dependence on Middle Eastern oil to our biased policy to-wards Israel."

"...Human Rights Watch: This group directs a disproportionate share of its criticism at the United States and Israel. It opposes the death penalty in all cases, and supports open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.

I'lam: This anti-Israel NGO seeks "to develop and empower the Arab media and to give voice to Palestinian issues."
Immigrant Defense Project: To advance the cause of illegal immigrants, the IDP provides immigration law backup support and counseling to New York defense attorneys and others who represent or assist immigrants in criminal justice and immigration systems, as well as to immigrants themselves.

"...International Crisis Group: One of this organization's leading figures is its Mideast Director, Robert Malley, who was President Bill Clin-ton's Special Assistant for Arab-Israeli Affairs. His analysis of the Mideast conflict is markedly pro-Palestinian.

J Street: This anti-Israel group warns that Israel’s choice to take military action to stop Hamas' terrorist attacks “will prove counter-productive and only deepen the cycle of violence in the region”

Jewish Funds for Justice: This organization views government intervention and taxpayer funding as crucial components of enlightened social policy. It seeks to redistribute wealth from Jewish donors to low-income communities “to combat the root causes of domestic economic and social injustice.” By JFJ's reckoning, chief among those root causes are the inherently negative by-products of capitalism – most notably racism and “gross economic inequality.”

"...Machsom Watch: This organization describes itself as "a movement of Israeli women, peace activists from all sectors of Israeli society, who oppose the Israeli occupation and the denial of Palestinians' rights to move freely in their land."

"...Mercy Corps: Vis a vis the Arab-Israeli conflict, Mercy Corps places all blame for Palestinian poverty and suffering directly on Israel.

"...New Israel Fund: This organization gives support to NGOs that regularly produce reports accusing Israel of human-rights violations and religious persecution.

"...Physicians for Human Rights: This group is selectively and disproportionately critical of the United States and Israel in its condemnations of human rights violations. [note HAMAS plants its headquarters beneath Gaza hospitals]

"...World Organization Against Torture: This coalition works closely with groups that condemn Israeli security measures against Palestinian terrorism.

[There are some 200 NGOs subsidized by George Soros on this list, many for funding the Democrat Party.]

"COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RECEIVED NEARLY $6 BILLION IN FEDERAL CONTRACTS AND GRANTS SINCE 2018
American taxpayers are disturbed by the moral rot they're seeing at Columbia, Harvard, Yale and other elite universities. However, you should be alarmed that you're also funding it.

"Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com quantified the federal contracts and grants awarded to Columbia and other elite universities in a five-year period from 2018 through 2022.

Turns out that American taxpayers contribute more to these universities than the students and their families do through tuition payments. These universities are more federal contractor today than educator.

"Yesterday, my interview on The National Desk by Sinclair Broadcast, owners of nearly 200 ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX local stations across America, broke down all the numbers...

"INTERVIEW: IT'S TIME TO OPEN THE BOOKS ON COLUMBIA, HARVARD, YALE AND THE REST OF THE "ELITE" UNIVERSITIES

"Here is just a sample of our findings:

"Columbia received $5.8 billion in federal contracts and grants during a period when their endowment increased from $10.5 billion to $13.3 billion (2018-2022).
Columbia took nearly $70 million in Covid-aid payments while Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Sanford and Northwestern rejected Covid aid because of their massive endowments.
Last year, Columbia took a $3.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to "de-colonialize" the earth sciences... that's the study of biology, the atmosphere and geosciences – which they think are too dominated by a white, Western European perspective. The sciences?!
Columbia, Harvard, Yale and other elite universities are turning out graduates who believe that open antisemitism and the championing of terrorism are forms of "social justice."

"And they're doing this on your dime!

"This graphic that we compiled is making national news and shows exactly how much of your taxpayer money is in play:
