HOLY CARP!!!

Trading was closed for the afternoon of Sep.16, but promptly re-opened the next morning, and the market climbed 7% within the month from that point. I'm particularly struck by the four italicized paragraphs quoted from the first article by Beverly Gage, and contrast and as parallel to what we've observed as the nation and the citizenry's reaction to 9/11. |

No proof of course. But if anyone bothered to really dig and found anything even remotely plausible, rest assured it would not succeed without proper academic plumage. If such information ever came out in some academic journal, confirming a Barge connection; a conspiracy hatched by foreigners funding American based anarchists (deluded useful idiots), then rest assured it is authorized Barge publicity. If not, then surely the "lone nut" scenario would do. It is interesting though to note what effects the event did have at the time and for what purposes. Populations will be motivated by the fear of violence as much as actual violence itself. |

If you look closely you can still see marks from the bombing on the old JP Morgan building, 23 wall street, across form the exchange. |

A digression, but jon's photo reminded me of this: The Toronto Stock Exchange has an art deco stone frieze carved above its doors, showing a progression of people representing different segments of the economy. No one quite knows if it was the designer's intention or not, but it looks like the businessman has slipped his hand into the workman's pocket...

It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn't. - P.G. Wodehouse | |
