- It was more likely executed by very sophisticated, highly intelligent international agents who meant the attack as a cover up for financial crimes being investigated by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), whose offices in the Pentagon were destroyed on that same day. - The attacks were intended to cover up the clearing of $240,000,000,000 in securities covertly created in September 1991 to fund a covert economic war against the Soviet Union, during which unknown western investors bought up much of the Soviet industry with a focus on oil and gas. - The nine eleven attacks also served to derail multiple federal investigations of crimes associated with the 1991 covert operation. - Hundreds of billions of dollars of government securities had to be destroyed. - A critical mass of brokers from the major government security brokerages in the Twin Towers had to be eliminated to create chaos in the government securities market. - A situation needed to be created wherein $240,000,000,000 of covert securities could be electronically cleared without anyone asking questions, which actually happened when the Federal Reserve declared an emergency and invoked its emergency powers that very afternoon. - There were three major securities brokers in the World: Cantor Fitzgerald, Eurobrokers, and Garvin Intercapital. Cantor Fitzgerald was the largest securities dealer in the United States and arguably the primary target. - Forty one percent of the fatalities in the Twin Towers came from Cantor Fitzgerald and Eurobrokers. - Twenty four percent of the one hundred and twenty five fatalities in the Pentagon were from the naval command center that housed the Office of Naval Intelligence. - 29 of 30 Office of Naval Intelligence employees died. - The naval command center had been moved into the newly opened section of the Pentagon only months earlier. - In the vaults between the World Trade Center Towers, any certificates for bonds were destroyed. - On that fateful day, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared a national emergency for the first time in US history, invoking its emergency powers under Securities Exchange Act section 12 k, easing regulatory restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next fifteen days. - These changes would allow an estimated $240,000,000,000 in covert government securities to be cleared upon maturity without the standard regulatory controls around identification of ownership. - Emboldened by the lack of consequences for subverting the US constitution and breaking international law during the Iran Contra scandal of the nineteen eighties, a Bush administration group known as the Vulcans planned a bigger drive to crush communism once and for all. - They waged war against the Soviet Union in Iraq under George H. W. Bush and against Iraq and Afghanistan under George W. Bush. - Belonging to this group were Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage, and Condoleezza Rice. - The Vulcan's drive to bring an end to the Cold War was fueled by a covert war chest invisible to congressional oversight. This war chest would be known by several names: Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos Gold, Yamashita's Gold, the Golden Lily Treasure, the Durham Trust, or Project Hammer. - The program also seems to have lined the pockets of the individuals that executed this policy. This was done to the tune of a staggering $240,000,000,000 in covert and allegedly illegal bonds, which appear to have been replaced with treasury notes backed by the US taxpayer in the aftermath of September 11. - The covert securities used to accomplish the national security objective of ending the Cold War ended up in the vaults of the brokers in the World Trade Center and were destroyed on 09/11/2001. They came due for settlement and clearing on September 12. The federal agency investigating these bonds, the Office of Naval Intelligence, was in the very section of the Pentagon that was destroyed on 09/11. - To this key group of senior national security officials called the Vulcans, who had participated in the victory of the economic cold war in 1991, the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, the four airliners, and their occupants would become collateral damage in the ending of the Cold War. Their debts were required to hide the existence of the Black Eagle Trust and the covert activities it funded for over fifty years. - The destruction of all these lives and buildings constituted a cover up of continued lawlessness by a fraternity or brotherhood of businessmen and criminals, often referred to as the enterprise in the nineteen eighties, though it has remained in the shadows ever since.

I was on top of the world, running a successful company with all my friends, making a million a day, debt free. September 11th changed everything. My office was in the World Trade Center; 658 of my 960 New York employees, including my brother and best friend, were killed. I felt responsible for my friends' families, but the company was losing money. We decided to rebuild, promising 25% of our profits to the families, and healthcare for ten years. The media attacked me, but my employees supported me. We rebuilt the company, and I gave my $100 million aside to the families, and their bonuses, and then repaid my employees who donated portions of their salaries. Their generosity saved the company and stitched my soul back together. They own 30% of the company because they are superhuman.

FDNY Firefighter | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #637
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The episode features a candid conversation with Tony Bonfiglio, a longtime FDNY firefighter whose 21 years in the department included stints in Washington Heights and Queens, with personal history that spans New York’s blue‑collar neighborhoods, the 9/11 era, and the tight bonds of a firehouse family. The host contextualizes Tony’s ascent into firefighting, starting from his blue‑collar roots and varied early jobs, including work in a meat processing plant, a plastic mold factory, and a lithography union. Tony describes the physical and mental demands of the job, the initiation process for new firefighters, and the sense of identity forged through shared danger, meals, joking around, and the ritual of the probationary period that bonds the crew. He recalls his first days on the job, the intensity of a rookie’s watch, and the fear and thrill of entering a working fire, where every decision could be a matter of life or death. The discussion delves into specific experiences: the early career as a can man, the nerve-wracking first fires, and the infamous incidents on inhabited floors where rescue operations blended skill with sheer nerve. Tony recounts a devastating house fire in which a child did not survive, the heartbreak that lingered after, and the realities of responding to tragedies in a crowded city environment. The narrative also highlights moments of levity and brotherhood, from shared meals cooked in the firehouse to camaraderie among firefighters across generations, including veterans who influenced newer crews and the evolution of gear and department culture under changing leadership and technology. The interview shifts to reflect on 9/11: Tony’s arrival at Ground Zero, the long hours, the adrenaline mix with exhaustion, the emergence of supportive civilian responders, and the memory of fallen colleagues. Throughout, the stories illustrate resilience, professional pride, and the enduring sense of purpose that characterizes a firefighter’s life in New York City. Tony also touches on the physical and environmental health consequences faced by first responders, including Ground Zero lung issues, connecting personal experience with broader public health concerns. The episode closes with gratitude toward Tony’s service, his family, and the ongoing legacy of FDNY volunteers and firefighters.
