Halliburton Stock prices prove BCE knew about 9-11-01
Halliburton Traded on 9-11 Warning Memo
By Dan Spillane, The Liberty Whistle
--Stock dropped 18.6 percent from August 6th thru September 10th 2001, unlike other similar cos.
--Halliburton awarded “WMD Contract”--one day before attack
--Two special stock indicators signaled “crisis” on Sep 10th--but no news was public
(SEATTLE) 09/21/04 – (UPDATE2) A series of new findings brings into serious doubt Bush Administration claims regarding September 11th, and suggests the work of the 9-11 Commission is incomplete. According to what Bush told the public, and as documented in the 9-11 report, the August 6th memo delivered to the White House, which warned of imminent attacks (“Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US”) was described as “historical in nature,” and therefore was essentially ignored by the White House. (1) So, as far as the public knows, no actions were taken based on the memo.
It’s not like the US hasn’t been looking for unusual pre-9-11 actions—in fact, the 9-11 report examined stock trading before the attacks, and concluded with some degree of confidence that there weren’t any stock profits taken based on information before the attacks. Unfortunately, the 9-11 report provides no details on how such stock analysis was done--and importantly, the report makes no mention of isolating events in terms of the August 6th White House memo. In short, the 9-11 commission tried to find “needles in haystacks.”
Indeed, then it should be of no surprise that a comparison of stock trading specifically before and after August 6th, in terms of “sector behavior” and other indicators reveals more information, and illustrates an interesting and hitherto undiscovered pattern. (2) Incredibly, in this light, a major divergence is visible in the stock of Halliburton Corporation. Moreover, this divergence is punctuated not only by the dates of August 6th and September 11th, but was also echoed in a September 10th contract award to Halliburton.
As seen in a long-term stock chart, Halliburton has consistently traded in line with its closest competitor, Schlumberger. And it did this up until August 6th 2001. On the other hand, Halliburton stock dropped 18.6 percent from August 6th thru September 10th 2001, while the volume spiked—even as Schlumberger stock only dropped a tiny 3.7 percent, and the overall index measuring the oil sector was actually up slightly over the same period. In short, in the two dozen trading days between the memo and Sept 11th, a drastic shift occurred as compared to the same number of days before August 6th. In the charts below, the red line represents when the White House received the Sept. 11th warning; price went down, volume went up:
The next question--were there any negative announcements about Halliburton between August 6th and September 10th? No there weren’t--in fact, Halliburton received at least 1.2 billion dollars in new contracts. But even more interesting, is what happened on September 10th.
You see, Halliburton deals in oil services, with some additional services to the military. Yet on the day before September 11th—and only once and on that day—did Halliburton receive a new kind of assignment, containing a phrase now in the lexicon of so many Americans. Astonishingly, on September 10th, 2001, the news read “Halliburton Unit Picked to Participate in Program to Reduce Threat of Weapons Of Mass Destruction.” (Source: Halliburton)
Also, the stock market volatility index (the “VIX”), a measure of market fear, suddenly shot up after the August 6th White House memo. By September 10th 2001, the VIX index spiked up to a level over 30-a level-not seen since the Asian crisis. Yet, in the Asian crisis case, news of disaster was already out in the open, which contrasts sharply with September 10th 2001--when no bad news was known to the public. Remarkably, this shows certain stock market investors knew a crisis was going to happen--the day before September 11th. The VIX action also corresponds with Halliburton stock and business moves related to the August 6th and September 10th dates.
Next, in line with the spike in the VIX, yet another indicator foretold September 11th. The put/call stock options ratio—a measure of sophisticated investors betting on a market fall—peaked twice. First, the ratio peaked for the options transition period immediately after the White House memo, and before September 11th (which crested on August 17th)) and next, it peaked on September 10th, the day before the strike. Once again, the put/call ratio peaks correspond with Halliburton moves related to the August 6th and September 10th dates.
Finally, a very close associate of Mr. Cheney made a business move on September 10th.
What’s incredible is how many signs point to the fact that the White House knew about September 11th in advance. Clearly, not one but at least five pieces of evidence exist. Based on the unusual stock pattern of Halliburton after the White House warning memo, the special advance timing of the Halliburton WMD contract, the VIX and put/call indicators, and more, actions were being taken by those in the White House, and were leaked to a select few. But these actions were not to defend the American people. No, instead, these actions were taken to defend Halliburton stockholders and a select few, and further, to enhance their profits.
US citizens, and especially relatives of September 11th victims, should contact their representatives in Congress, demanding a full investigation of the business and stock activities of Halliburton after the White House was warned.
(1) “The President told us the August 6 report was historical in nature.” (9-11 report, chapter 8) (2) “Sector comparison” looks at how similar companies trade in relatively undifferentiated areas, such as those in commodities or generic services—including oil services.
