9/11 Paper Shredder

Draft blog post for koran.blog (for Saad)

Title: 9/11 as an Erasure: Was the Attack Also a Cover for Financial Crimes at the World Trade Center?
By Joe — for Saad

On the morning of September 11, 2001 the world watched two towers fall and a new era begin. What we remember most vividly are the human stories, the geopolitical fallout, and the succeeding wars. But beyond the immediate tragedy lies a question that has haunted investigative journalists, whistleblowers and amateur sleuths alike: did the destruction of the World Trade Center also serve to erase the paper and computer trails of large financial crimes? And if so, who would have benefited from such an erasure?

This post does not claim to prove a single criminal conspiracy. Rather, it lays out a hypothesis — a set of questions and patterns that deserve sober public scrutiny. Many events in history have multiple overlapping motives; asking whether 9/11 possibly served several purposes at once is not an exercise in bad taste, it’s an exercise in accountability.

The hypothesis, in plain terms

The collapse of the WTC physically destroyed archives, ledgers, servers and office records. My thesis: beyond the catastrophic human and economic costs, the removal of those physical and digital records had the secondary effect — intended or incidental — of disrupting forensic trails of large-scale financial wrongdoing connected to entities operating inside the towers. Some observers argue this outcome benefited a mix of intelligence, financial and shadow networks. This theory suggests the event functioned, among other things, as a massive—if tragic—data-cleansing operation.

Why this idea persists

  1. Concentration of financial activity. The Twin Towers housed countless financial firms, insurance companies and back-office operations. Physical destruction of that workspace eliminated documents and hardware that investigators might otherwise examine.
  2. Chaotic official record-keeping. In the immediate aftermath, chaotic circumstances, shredded evidence, and the priority of rescue over investigation created gaps that are still discussed today.
  3. Leaks and whistleblower claims. Over the years various insiders and commentators have claimed that certain paper trails vanished in ways that blocked civil and criminal proceedings. Whether these claims are accurate, exaggerated, or false is often unclear — but they contribute to the narrative that something more than random destruction was at play.
  4. Intelligence agency involvement as a hypothesis. Some theorists propose that intelligence services (domestic or foreign) had both the capability and motive to manipulate information flows after an event. Again, capability does not equal guilt, but it is a factor that fuels speculation.

Questions every serious inquirer should ask

  • Which specific records were lost, and which investigations were impeded because of those losses?
  • Which firms or transactions stood to lose the most from forensic audits tied to the WTC offices?
  • Are there contemporaneous, verifiable documents showing targeted evidence removal versus collateral destruction?
  • What do independent audits, court filings, and declassified files say about financial investigations connected to WTC tenants?

Here’s a breakdown of the types of financial crimes and shady dealings historically linked to the old World Trade Center (WTC), with a special focus on Enron and other firms tied to the towers. Some of these were alleged or under investigation at the time of 9/11, while others were later documented.


1. Enron & Arthur Andersen

  • Enron Corporation had offices in the North Tower (WTC 1).
  • Their accounting firm, Arthur Andersen, also had WTC operations.
  • Crimes connected:
    • Accounting fraud: Enron inflated profits and hid debts in shell companies.
    • Obstruction of justice: Andersen later destroyed documents tied to Enron’s audits.
    • Market manipulation: Energy trading scams, including the California electricity crisis.
    • Bankruptcy fraud: Largest in U.S. history at the time (December 2001).

2. Wall Street Brokerage & Securities Fraud

  • Multiple broker-dealers and investment banks occupied the towers.
  • Common financial crimes included:
    • Insider trading (using non-public info for profit).
    • Pump-and-dump schemes in penny stocks.
    • Misrepresentation of securities to clients.

3. Insurance & Reinsurance Manipulation

  • WTC housed major insurance and reinsurance firms.
  • Crimes included:
    • False claims and creative accounting in reinsurance contracts.
    • Fraudulent policy underwriting tied to international assets.
    • Market rigging in liability coverage.

4. Money Laundering

  • Financial institutions inside the towers (banks, trading desks, clearing houses) were hubs for global capital.
  • Techniques:
    • Layering transactions to hide illicit origins.
    • Shell companies masking ownership.
    • Trade-based laundering (fake import/export invoices).

5. Stock & Commodity Market Manipulation

  • NYMEX (nearby) and commodities traders linked to WTC tenants.
  • Alleged crimes:
    • Energy derivatives manipulation (Enron-style).
    • Gold & oil futures fixing.
    • Speculative short selling (sometimes tied to pre-9/11 insider trading allegations).

6. Corporate Fraud Investigations Destroyed

  • Some reports claim federal and state investigations into corporate crimes lost evidence when offices in WTC 7 collapsed (housing SEC, IRS, Secret Service records).
  • Categories of lost cases:
    • Securities fraud investigations.
    • Bank fraud probes.
    • Enron-linked document trails.

7. Organized Crime Fronts

  • The towers also hosted smaller tenants tied to international trade.
  • Crimes:
    • Front companies used for laundering drug money.
    • Export-import tax fraud.
    • Counterfeit goods financing.

In summary:

  • Enron & Arthur Andersen = accounting fraud, document shredding, energy manipulation.
  • Brokerages & banks = insider trading, securities fraud, laundering.
  • Insurance/reinsurance = false claims, reinsurance scams.
  • Regulatory investigations = SEC/IRS files lost in WTC 7 collapse.

CONCLUSION

joe writes a post on koran.blog for Saad with the thesis that 9/11 was the destruction of the paper trial and computer trail of the World Trade Center’s financial crimes. A joint CIA/Mossad & illuminati/freemason joint psychological operation.

101 – The Calamity

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[101.1] The terrible calamity!
[101.2] What is the terrible calamity!
[101.3] And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
[101.4] The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
[101.5] And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
[101.6] Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
[101.7] He shall live a pleasant life.
[101.8] And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
[101.9] His abode shall be the abyss.
[101.10] And what will make you know what it is?

11 . A burning fire.

102 – Vying in Abundance

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[102.1] Abundance diverts you,
[102.2] Until you come to the graves.
[102.3] Nay! you shall soon know,
[102.4] Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
[102.5] Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
[102.6] You should most certainly have seen the hell;
[102.7] Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
[102.8] Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
