I see, Watson, you’re almost ready to agree with me, while I even didn’t reveal any information from the documents I have at my hand. I could show you plenty of curious materials from English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Russian newspapers. I have friends in every country of the world, and they like to let me know everything about the latest events. Apparently, I have my reputation first of all due to my great relative.

Let me ask you, Holmes, when and how did you manage to get to the truth in this affair?

I can confess, Watson, that at the begi

Gradually, first information about the number of victims began to appear; but not at once, because for some unclear reasons it was classified at the begi

I agree with you completely, Holmes, this circumstance seemed to me suspicious too. By the week it was found only nearly two hundred bodies of perished people or parts of them, and only 30-40 were identified, which of course is considerably less than the most “optimistic” prognoses. By the way, representatives of the press and any other curious people were forbidden to enter the morgues for counting the remains – according to the official version, “for not get people hurt”. Now, however, the journalists invented new category – “people, disappeared without a trace” – and number of them rises day by day. It looks like WTC employed only homeless tramps that weren’t even missed during the first days.

Watson, I ask you to pay your special attention to the concrete numbers of “disappeared without a trace”: in ten days after the catastrophe there was “5422 exactly” of them. Frankly speaking, I must confess, I was expecting for something like that: the sum of the numbers is 13, addition of the first two components gives us nine, and 11 is present too. Phantasmagoria goes on!

Surprising! But tell me, Holmes, when did your suspicions develop into confidence?

After it turned out that quantity of victims was several times less comparing with what was expected, it was quite logical to suggest that the quantity of office workers in the buildings that day was considerably less than usual. Rejecting the possibility of fortunate occasion we may consider that it was known about the preparing attacks beforehand. I came to this very conclusion. Taking it as a working version, I needed to find possible motifs of organizers and participants of the crime. Soon I already had these facts. Americans themselves immediately went in for studying “short sales” of shares, that is – selling the shares to third persons in order to buy them afterwards, when quotations would fall, – particularly with the participation of the companies immediately suffered from assault. Richard Crossly, analyst of the broker’s firm “Teather & Greenwood”, established: such sales took place indeed during the period directly foregoing the “black Tuesday”, and their quantity was dozens times more than usual. Now even American Financial Services Authority and competent financial organs of Japan, Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy take part in the investigation. If the information given by Crossly is officially proved, I won’t be surprised at all. However, taking into account the colossal, almost global political interests involving this affair, it may never happen. Too serious powers are interested in replacing the truth about the tragedy in people’s minds by the official myth. But for us the most interesting detail is that the main lessee of WTC offices was Morgan Stanley Company, which had occupied 30 floors in both buildings. Famous are its co

Nevertheless, Watson, in spite of existence of obvious and incontestable economic goals, they are put on the back burner comparing with really grandiose geopolitical prospects, which became opened for definite interested circles in USA thanks to this “little man, who is always blamed”. To obtain such threatening and indistinctly localized enemy like “international terrorism” with distinct Muslim touch not excluding cooperating with any other “criminal nations and states” and “enemies of American people” – that was the dream of American internationalists since USSR collapse. Now this dream has come true, and we’re on the threshold of one more world war of “good against evil”; i.e. USA on one side – always persecuted people-martyr, sufferer and victim of unparalleled terrorist holocaust in New York and Washington, and on the other side, evil power, represented first of all by Bin Ladin, criminal genius, and then – Muslim fundamentalists, other Muslims, Arabs, and at last other individuals, groups and countries which potentially “sympathize with terrorists”.
