>>13654002Correct. Funny you mention 9/11. The events are tied together.
In the late 90s, the powers that be found out a horrifying truth- there's a lot more fucking oil out there than they thought, and it's not all in friendly hands. You can't value your currency based on the trade of a widely available and cheap commodity. So, the first thing they did was avoid that glaring error becoming public knowledge. Do you recall a place where regulators and commodities experts had offices? There was a particular group of buildings where they resided. All the nation's experts who valuated commodity trading between nations worldwide worked at the world trade center. That's why they had to go, and it's why the task is completely computerized now. Saudi Arabia, Israel and the USA worked together on this. The passports had to be Saudi, the cover story had to be Saudi, a non friendly government would likely disavow or issue counter statements. So the towers fell, and we invaded other nations with newfound oil fields. We kept oil prices high, and we ended up confused at the gas pumps paying more for gas than ever asking "what the fuck is going on?" But we kept living our lives. Then the petrodollar recycling system through Saudi Arabia had a few hiccups (completely fucking broke) and the valuation algorithms accidentally told the truth when more oil fields and oil markets popped up, leading to banks losing the liquidity to make loans overnight. This resulted in banks foreclosing on homes in 2008. The powers that be had the nerve to blame the "sub prime borrowers" themselves who suffered most even as they bought airlines, bailed out car companies, bought train companies, and pretty much any other oil dependant industry, including the banks and the federal reserve system as a whole.
