I’m not sure if the story just got a whole lot more interesting, or if I should just roll my eyes; either way that’s one hell of a twist in the story.

The story began with him calling 911 and asking for police to come to his home while he reported the sensitive information he believed he had discovered. He works in financial software.

I kind of feel like if you had serious evidence of something happening on 9/11 due to your position in the financial industry calling 911 wouldn't be how you reported it. I bet he does work where he says, but that is some batshit logic

He was not calling 911 to report his "evidence."

He called 911 to request that police come to his home to protect his family while he reported his findings to the government. He specifically requested a sergeant that he knew personally. I don't know if that guy ever showed up, but it seems he took his family on the run shortly after.

Weird. If he knew the guy personally you’d think he’d have the opportunity to get his contact information to contact him directly.

By doing that, there is a record of the call and request to speak with said officer. It has been recorded for evidence, so it will be difficult to deny he called asking for Sgt. Bestbud.

I mean, financial record that were accidentally filed and not destroyed is why we have info about MKUltra, so not unbelievable so far…

There’s so many conspiracy theories about 9/11 that even if someone did stumble onto the truth (assuming it differs from the official story) the government would likely just ignore that person and let their claims get lost in the noise. Assassinating them would just draw attention to their claims and encourage conspiracy theorists to latch onto that (true) version instead of a false narrative.

The only exception would be if this guy had hard evidence, like a recording of W plotting the attacks, but in that case the smart thing to do is to release it publicly before the government has a chance to silence you. They’ll probably still send you to jail, but they have no incentive to disappear you if the damage has already been done.

No, this sounds like a pretty straightforward case of paranoid delusions. I hope this guy gets help before he does anything he regrets.

We're also past the 20 year mark where higher ups and those potentially in the know are retired and at an age where they're losing their health and influence.

I work for the government. When I see someone from 20 years ago fucked my reaction is "someone from 20 years ago fucked up" and the old person in the office goes "oh yeah they retired a few years after I started" and you move on and fix the fuck up, not cover it up to protect someone who has been retired for 17 years from a 17 year late negative performance rating.

Obviously a 911 conspiracy is more significant than someone who wrote an incorrect report or whatever but the fact is that the government is millions of individuals and you need a whole lot of loyalty to keep secrets safe once you're gone, same as any large organization.

Also, The 28 pages has been declassified for some time. We already have a pretty good idea who the financial backers of 9/11 were. Anything he discovered in some financial database would only be a piece of the puzzle, and would almost certainly require additional evidence from elsewhere (which he probably can’t access) to know for certain it is directly related to 9/11.

If he’s telling the truth, he could’ve stumbled on the missing money that was being traded and transferred out of the towers computers during the attacks. Something the courts said were probably fraud, but “wasn’t a conspiracy” because it didn’t involve al-Qaeda.

Something like 500 million dollars disappeared during the attacks, and I highly doubt office workers were still doing trading after both planes hit.

There were high number billions of dollars in suspicious unclaimed shorts placed just before the 9/11 attacks. Word leaked that the SEC had been called in to investigate whether someone had used foreknowledge of the attacks to make bets on the stock market that would have been huge winners, tipping off any potential conspirators. The options expired without being used, which added suspicion that someone wealthy and connected was in on the attacks. I thought the trail hit a dead end with a brokerage in mideast, but if there were any evidence left, financial software with a long archive could hold it. OTOH, This is the kind of thing you'd expect from a kook.

I think this is a wait and see kind of story. I hope there's more followup.

One of the CEO’s of the reading firms that were in the towers straight up quit the next day. Leaving behind a 30ish million dollar a year salary. Lmfao if that doesn’t sound suspicious I don’t know what does
