The 9/11 Money Trail

The 9/11 Money Trail – Following the Financial Anomalies

James Corbett presents a deep dive into the financial dimensions of the September 11th attacks, arguing that the official 9/11 Commission Report was a cover-up and that the most neglected line of inquiry is following the money. He challenges both the government narrative and the 9/11 Truth Movement for overlooking glaring monetary clues.

🏛️ The Flawed 9/11 Commission

• Pre-written conclusions: Executive director Philip Zelikow drafted the report’s outline before any staff meetings, prompting staff mockery.
• Tainted evidence: 25% of footnotes came from illegally obtained torture confessions, later destroyed by the CIA.
• Commissioners admitted failure: Co-chair Lee Hamilton stated they were “set up to fail.” Max Cleland resigned over deliberate compromise; John Lehman revealed staff had conflicts of interest. Bob Carey cryptically called 9/11 a “30-year-old conspiracy.”
• Key passage ignored: The report claimed the funding origin was “of little practical significance” – a direct contradiction to the investigative mantra “follow the money.”

💰 Unexplained Financial Anomalies

• Larry Silverstein’s insurance jackpot: Secured a $3.55 billion policy (nearly 3× valuation) just weeks before 9/11, collected $4.55 billion after claiming two separate attacks.
• Gold under World Trade Center 4: Up to $1 billion in precious metals stored below. Only $230 million was “recovered” – firefighters allege the cleanup prioritized gold over body recovery.
• Convar data recovery: A German firm claimed $100 million+ was illegally transferred out of WTC computers just before the attacks. The FBI later denied the operation, and Convar went silent.
• Anomalous trading: Peer-reviewed studies confirmed abnormal put options on airlines and WTC businesses. SEC destroyed records of its investigation. Wirt Walker III (Bush family relative) was implicated.
• Pentagon’s missing trillions: Secretary Rumsfeld acknowledged the issue on Sept 10, 2001.
• Robert Baer’s boast: A CIA agent claimed he knew someone who cashed out all assets the day before 9/11, saying “it’s going down tomorrow.”

🔍 Neglected Research

Only a handful of researchers (Mark Gaffney, Jeremy Reese, Lars Schall, etc.) have explored the money trail. Corbett urges the truth movement to prioritize financial forensics over endless tower collapse documentaries.

Key Takeaway

The 9/11 money trail remains the most under-investigated aspect of the attacks. Official reports and even critics have avoided it, yet every crime is solved by following the money. To uncover what really happened, researchers must stop ignoring the billions – and the glaring financial fingerprints left behind.
