German firm probes final World Trade Center dealsQuote :"German computer experts are working round the clock to unlock the truth behind an unexplained surge in financial transactions made just before two hijacked planes crashed into New York's World Trade Center on September 11.Were criminals responsible for the sharp rise in credit card transactions that moved through some computer systems at the WTC shortly before the planes hit the twin towers?Or was it coincidence that unusually large sums of money, perhaps more than $100 million, were rushed through the computers as the disaster unfolded?A world leader in retrieving data, German-based firm Convar is trying to answer those questions and help credit card companies, telecommunications firms and accountants in New York recover their records from computer hard drives that have been partially damaged by fire, water or fine dust.Using a pioneering laser scanning technology to find data on damaged computer hard drives and main frames found in the rubble of the World Trade Center and other nearby collapsed buildings, Convar has recovered information from 32 computers that support assumptions of dirty doomsday dealings."The suspicion is that inside information about the attack was used to send financial transaction commands and authorisations in the belief that amid all the chaos the criminals would have, at the very least, a good head start," said Convar director Peter Henschel."Of course it is also possible that there were perfectly legitimate reasons for the unusual rise in business volume," he told Reuters in an interview.Profiting from disaster?"It could turn out that Americans went on an absolute shopping binge on that Tuesday morning. But at this point there are many transactions that cannot be accounted for," Henschel said."Not only the volume but the size of the transactions was far higher than usual for a day like that. There is a suspicion that these were possibly planned to take advantage of the chaos."Nearly 3,300 people were killed in the attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center.Some 30,000 people in the buildings, symbols of America's financial might, were able to escape between the time the planes crashed and about an hour later when they collapsed -- even though many of the unmanned computers continued working.The United States blames the Al Qaeda group led by Saudi-born Osama bin Laden for the attack and has since waged war on the Taliban regime in Afghanistan that sheltered them.Advance knowledge of attack?There are several data retrieval companies in the United States and Europe, but Convar said it has won the lion's share of the contracts from the World Trade Center because of its laser scanning technology.Convar developed the laser scanner two years ago that made it possible to retrieve data from badly damaged computers.With a staff of 30 in its high-security facility in Pirmasens near the French border, the firm has worked with the US armed forces in Germany as well as German federal police for the last 15 years.Its offices in Pirmasens, a town of 36,000 still suffering from the departure of some 4,000 American soldiers stationed here during the Cold War, are closely guarded behind high fences and monitored by dozens of security cameras.Inside the building, an endless series of code-operated door locks keeps unwelcome visitors away. In the centre of the facility is a 120 square metre (1,292 square foot), dust-free "clean room" where the damaged computer drives are coaxed back to life.Citing client privacy, Henschel declined to say which companies Convar is working for, or provide details about the data retrieved so far. But he said the raw material, up to 40 gigabytes per computer hard drive, is sent immediately by satellite or courier back to New York.Money trailRichard Wagner, a data retrieval expert at the company, said illegal transfers of more than $100 million might have been made immediately before and during the disaster."There is a suspicion that some people had advance knowledge of the approximate time of the plane crashes in order to move out amounts exceeding $100 million," Wagner said. "They thought that the records of their transactions could not be traced after the main frames were destroyed."The companies are paying between $20,000 and $30,000 for each computer recovered, Henschel said.The high recovery costs are one reason why only a limited number of hard drives are being examined. Convar has turned down a request by one British newspaper to try to recover personal last hour e-mails sent by someone trapped in the doomed building.Henschel said the companies in the United States were working together with the FBI to piece together what happened on September 11 and that he was confident the destination of the dubious transactions would one day be tracked down."We have been quite surprised that so many of the hard drives were in good enough shape to retrieve the data," he said."The contamination rate is high. The fine dust that was everywhere in the area got pressed under high pressure into the drives. But we've still been able to retrieve 100 percent of the data on most of the drives we've received."We're helping them find out what happened to the computers on September 11 as quickly as possible. I'm sure that one day they will know what happened to the money." "http://www.prisonplanet.com/german_firm_probes_final_world_trade_center_deals.htm

More amazing testimony from the Emergency Personnel Tapes:AMAZING EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY FROM THE 9/11 EMERGENCY PERSONNEL TAPES RELEASED IN AUGUST '05 DESCRIBING EXPLOSIVES GOING OFF JUST BEFORE THE TWIN TOWER COLLAPSES The testimony of Stephen Gregory, Assistant Commissioner (F.D.N.Y.):
4/3/2006 1:53:52 PM
okthis isn't a controlled demolitionsee how easy that was for me to do
4/3/2006 1:54:54 PM
The point is that you can't honestly deny that it was a controlled demolition after seeing the evidence.
4/3/2006 1:57:59 PM
im denying...and i just read the evidence....take a step back...and realize the absurdity of all this
4/3/2006 1:59:05 PM
if this was a controlled demolition, dont u think people would have noticed the explosives being planted AND wired up wherever they were placed? to bring down buildings of that size would require a significant amount of explosives and det-cord (detonation cord for those lacking).

if it's on prisonplanet, then yes.how do i know who joe schmoe is in the video?how do i know it's not some nutjob with a tin-foil volunteer firefighter hat who thinks he's figured out that EXPERTS are full of shit, all of them?how do i know it's not your boyfriend?
4/3/2006 2:19:22 PM
I am disputing the authenticity of the clips...i believe that alex jones has a habit of forging videos. How easy would it be to put the MSNBC logo on a video. I have done that before myself. Plus with all the videotechnology out there, prisonplanet would have no problem creating these videos. They should have done a better job with the quality of them though. The audio is shaky at best.

4/3/2006 2:42:35 PM
So, do you really believe that the Emergency Personnel Tape testimonies, as reported above by the NY Times, are "forgeries" also?
4/3/2006 2:45:04 PM
those photos actually hurt your cause if you ask meyou should hope they are forged
4/3/2006 2:48:28 PM
proof?!!?....look around!!...there is nothing but proof everywhere...you are too blind to see it...and i suppose you have some more evidence relating to those NY times articles...it doenst matter...one legit thing out of thousands of lies does not make the whole thing legit...what a sham..and you buy right into it....
4/3/2006 2:49:38 PM
What about WTC Building 7? Is anyone going to dispute that it was brought down in a controlled demolition? Oh, right, the evidence in this case is "forgeries" also?WTC Complex Leaseholder Larry Silverstein admitted in PBS documentary that WTC 7 was brought down in controlled demolition:1 minute video clip: http://infowars.com/Video/911/wtc7_pbs.WMV

the twin towers were not a controlled demolition thoughunless you consider the government flying a plane into them a controlled demolition, cause thats what happened
4/3/2006 2:55:03 PM
4/3/2006 2:57:18 PM
you cant deny tower 7 was brought down in a controlled demolition, its proven fact
4/3/2006 2:58:43 PM
wow....nice comeback salis...."what a joke!!...ha ha ha"....yes...the photoshop is obviuos...you have clearly got no understanding of what a faked photo looks likeshow me some real evidence...not some fake crap
4/3/2006 2:59:00 PM
its not photoshopped
4/3/2006 2:59:38 PM
yeah....clearly it is

I guess these Sydney Morning Herald and BBC articles are "forgeries" as well?CONCLUSIVE PROOF THE U.S. WAS PLANNING TO INVADE AFGHANISTAN PRIOR TO 9/11A battle plan for Afghanistan was being reviewed by the US Command 4 MONTHS before the 9/11 attacks:Sydney Morning Herald: "Defence redefined means securing cheap energy"http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/12/25/1040511092926.html

no... clearly its noti to prove my point you will never ever show how it was photoshopped[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 3:02 PM. Reason : ^i already posted that]

he look, heres proof that that photo was not altered:FAKE OSAMA BIN LADEN TAPESNo real evidence has been discovered or presented that links Osama bin Laden to the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden has repeatedly denied any role in the attacks, and the video and audio tapes put forward by the U.S. supposedly as evidence of bin Laden taking credit for the attacks have turned out to be fakes, mistranslations, or otherwise tampered with.You might be saying, "but bin Laden has confessed to being responsible for the 9/11 attacks, right?" Well, let's take a closer look at that.Here is a CNN article referring to a Dec. 2001 video tape that supposedly shows bin Laden taking credit for the 9/11 attacks:CNN: "Bin Laden on tape: Attacks 'benefited Islam greatly'"http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/12/13/ret.bin.laden.videotape/Now, take a close look at picture of the man from that tape that is purportedly the real Osama bin Laden.Here is a comparison of the photo of the man from that video tape and a photo of the real Osama bin Laden:It is obvious that the man from the Dec. 2001 tape is not the real Osama bin Laden.This is not the only example of a phony tape being used. Even the tapes that show the real Osama bin Laden have been "doctored." In some tapes, portions of the audio have been intentionally mistranslated in order to decieve. In other tapes, the audio has been tamperedwith. Here is a BBC article claiming that a tape showing the real bin Laden is fake because thevoice in the tape is not the voice of bin Laden:Bin Laden tape 'not genuine'http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2526309.stmOsama bin Laden consistently denied being behind the attacks. Here are two articlesdemonstrating this. Note that the second article below is an extended interview with binLaden. It is a very interesting read. I have quoted some particularly interesting portionsof that interview below.Bin Laden says he wasn't behind attackshttp://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/inv.binladen.denial/September 2001 Interview with bin Ladenhttp://www.public-action.com/911/oblintrv.html

haha...what?because i was obviosly talking about a photo of bin ladin....or notand salis...what does a plan to invade afghanistan have to do with a fake picture that you used as evidence?? why are you trying so hard to change the subject unless you really know that alex jones us full of crap?? thats pretty suspicious man?[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 3:10 PM.

“Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.”— Julius Caesar“Today, Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow, they will be grateful. This is especially true, if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond – whether real or promulgated – that threatened our very existence. It is then that all the peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing that every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished with the guarantee of their well-being, granted to them by their world government.”— Henry Kissinger, at the Bilderberg Conference in Evians, France, 1991

"A quote from some old guy which proves something beyond a shadow of a doubt"yeah yeah yeah....this is just more proof of the desperation with which you guys operate. There is NO proof of a government conspiracy at all. You can only hope you create doubt in people with absurd quotes and deceive them with fake photographs and videos.

everything that anyone else (fox, msnbc,bbc, ny times) post is fake...But everything Alex Jones post is real...nice logic. Im not saying that 9/11 wasn't some inside job. But it's not a fair assessment to say that everyone else is wrong and Alex Jones is the "oracle" of truth. Think about that salisburyboy. Seriously.
