I hope tomorrow doesn't suck
Thursday, September 13, 2007

An "anonymous investor," possibly a hedge fund, has bought 245,000 put options on the Dow Jones Eurostoxx 50 index, betting a billion dollars that it will drop by at least 30% by the end of the month. Other unknown investors have made similarly massive bets that the Standard and Poors index will drop by 50% by September 21.

The internet is swirling with rumors that Rep. Paul Gillmor was investigating those mysterious put options, although this is inconsistent with his reputation as a relatively anonymous, unambitious, party-line Republican.

However, as ranking member of the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee, it certainly would have been well within his authority.

"Although a heart attack was at first suspected in the death of Rep. Paul Gillmor, an autopsy revealed Friday that he in fact died of massive head and neck injuries sustained in a fall down the steps of his Arlington townhouse."

So his cause of death has migrated from "heart attack" to "blunt trauma" to the latest version, "massive head and neck injuries?"

Maybe media sources are jumping the gun and basing their stories on sketchy initial rumors. Or maybe somebody is covering something up. Leaving these inconsistencies to the side, a simple questions of physics remains: how do you generate the force needed for "massive" trauma by the simple gravitational pull of the weight of a human body falling down a staircase?

Some reports say five nuclear-armed cruise missiles were "mistakenly" flown over the United States. Some say it was six. Some cite both figures: MSNBC said six in its online story and five in the video embedded in the online story.

Again, either media sources are in conflict or a one 150 kiloton nuclear weapon is unaccounted for.

As a "response to that accident," the entire U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command is standing down Friday, September 14.

What a very convenient window of opportunity to engage in false flag terrorism with the missing nuke and blame it Iran to set the stage for the seemingly inevitable aerial obliteration of that country, and for someone to make a shitload of money on those puts, just like someone did on 911.

And the sheeple will swallow it all.

Or, if you want to get really outlandish, since the Chinese have a $100 billion liquified natural gas deal with Iran, they might defend their energy interests by disabling the Pentagon's computers, a capability they have been perfecting lately.

A mystery trader risks losing around $1 billion dollars after placing 245,000 put options on the Dow Jones Eurostoxx 50 index, leading many analysts to speculate that a stock market crash preceded by a new 9/11 style catastrophe could take place within the next month.
The anonymous trader only stands to make money if the market crashes by a third to a half before September 21st, which is when the put options expire. A put option is a financial contract between two parties, the buyer and the writer (seller) of the option, in which the buyer stands to benefit only if the price of the asset falls.
"The sales are being referred to by market traders as "bin Laden trades" because only an event on the scale of 9-11 could make these short-sell options valuable," reports financial blogger Marc Parent. Dow Jones Financial News first reported on the story.
