"So, while we are spending hundreds of millions searching for Bin Laden, billions fighting a false war in Iraq,
and to date, over a trillion dollars bailing out the financial industry, we should be watching the domestic
enemy, our own formerly fascist government and its financial industry puppet masters."

One intent of the attack was to make one building fall into the other, thus taking down both buildings, causing massive damage and killing thousands of people. Another intent was to wreak havoc on our financial system's ability to effectively operate, thus knocking a blow the to heart of America.

Though the plan didn't work, on September 11th, 2001, a new financier and mastermind and former Ghost warrior Osama bin Laden (3) tried again, organizing a long-term plan bringing collaborators to the United States to train on our own soil. These same combatants, who lived here and shopped along side us at Wal-Mart, hijacked 4 planes, flying two of them into our largest symbols of American financial strength.

In the aftermath of the WTC attacks, the stock market dropped 1370 points over 10 days, thousands of people lost their lives and more lost their jobs, and bankruptcies rose. Yet, the stock market started dropping sharply days before the attacks. On August 24th, 2001, the stock market closed at 10432, and on September 10th, the market closed at 9605, an 827 point drop in 10 trading days (4)! Could it be that someone knew of the upcoming attacks? Might there have been a leak from the top ranks of Al Qaeda that made it to America's Boy's Club or foreign industrial investors?

Or was this drop a pre-cursor to our recent financial disaster? Was our financial industry already failing back in 2001, interrupted by Bin Laden's plan? Research performed by Robert M. Lawless, Professor of Law, University of Missouri-Columbia, shows a large number of bankruptcy filings starting back in 1996, starting with a 30% increase between 1995 and 1996, and continuing above a million a year through the end of his published research in 2000.(5)

When Bin Laden and his disciples flew planes into the World Trade Centers, part of their intent was to take down our financial systems. Though it did create an impressive effect, the resolve of the American People, not our government, is what sustained us. We demonstrated to the world that we would not let a foreign enemy destroy us. Bin Laden's plan, therefore, failed by delaying the inevitable.

So, while we are spending hundreds of millions searching for Bin Laden, billions fighting a false war in Iraq, and to date, over a trillion dollars bailing out the financial industry, we should be watching the domestic enemy, our own formerly fascist government and its financial industry puppet masters. At the hands of our current administration, we have faced a 3753 point drop since the 52 week high on Oct 7th of last year. In short, our own government and its Boys Club has brought about a three-fold drop in our economy than did bin Laden.

What we should fear is not Bin Laden and his fellow spelunkers, nor the threats from North Korea and Iran. We need not worry about isolated radicals, nor should we keep spending money to isolate ourselves. The truth is, America's worst enemy has become its own Marxist (6), corrupt, and completely incompetent government.
