U.S. ECONOMY MAY BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN

U.S. ECONOMY MAY BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AS A RESULT OF ATTACKS. ALL PRECIOUS
METAL EXCHANGES DESTROYED WITH
THE COMEX AT WORLD TRADE CENTER.

The most immediate results of the terrorist attacks on
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon may be felt throughout the U.S.
economy within the next 3-5 days
and certainly in the next three weeks. As FTW has been
noting in special subscriber bulletins within the
last week, the eve of the terrorist attacks was marked
by incredible instability in U.S. financial markets
including the DOW. FTW had clearly predicted a highly
unstable economic situation marked by long-term
artificially suppressed gold prices and a $30
trillion derivatives bubble on the verge of
exploding as the DOW was poised for a simultaneous
epochal implosion.
Initial indicators show that the London gold price
rose by more than 5% in just the first two hours
after the bombings before the London markets closed.
FTW predicts that trading will be suspended on the
NYSE for the immediate future and that a run on US
banks is a distinct possibility. Limited martial
law is virtually a certainty and, if coupled with
a run on the banks, might produce even more severe
restrictions of civil liberties.
It is important to avoid speculation at present but
one of the least understood immediate effects of
these attacks will be on the U.S. economy. The COMEX,
the centralized trading floor for all precious metals
-- along with NY representative offices for every
major foreign national bank -- was destroyed as
the World trade center collapsed. So were all the
records of gold pricing and sales.
Investor confidence and world confidence in US
markets and the U.S. economy will inevitably be
impacted negatively. We must leave aside speculation
about motive for the moment. But if Osama bin Laden
is officially named as the culprit, a host of
unpleasant questions will dog the U.S. government.
Not the least of these is how the CIA will explain
that bin Laden was and is a CIA creation from the
Afghan conflict of the 1980s. FTW reported major
holes in the government's official position vis a
vis bin Laden in 1998.
The logistical and financial infrastructure required
for this attack was, in my opinion, far beyond any
known capability of any known terrorist organization.
I immediately rule out the Palestinians as suspects
because it would be a suicidal move on their part.
As politicians like Kissinger and McCain call this
"an act of war" one glaring inconsistency jumps out:
Who is the enemy and where are they? Henry Kissinger
was talking about retaliatory attacks even before
there is ANY idea of where or whom to attack.
With such a mentality the only place to attack is
against the American people by restricting civil
liberties.
At this point FTW advises against panic and against
a run on banks or food stores. The most important
thing we can do is to sit down with paper, pen
and computers and document every news report on
every news agency, especially those overseas. We
already know that the major media cannot be relied
upon to tell us the whole truth. Perspectives from
both the left and the right have given us a multitude
of past stories where the truth has been hidden
rather than told.
The most important thing to watch now is the world
economy and to rely on our own ability to research,
document, record and think for ourselves.
