9/11 Unanswered Part Five: The Conspiracies — EP 169

<p>www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast</p><p>The Conspiracy Podcast begins its deep dive into the unanswered questions of September 11th with the first half of a two-part conspiracy special. Eric, Sean, and Jorge move past the official timeline of the attacks and into the evidence that has fueled two decades of public suspicion — starting with the unusually large put option trades placed against United and American Airlines in the days before the attacks, and what the 9/11 Commission, the SEC, and independent academic research actually found when they investigated.</p><p>From there, the guys break down the military&#39;s posture that morning, including the live NORAD exercises running in real time, the fighter jets pulled toward Alaska, and a coincidentally-timed drill at the National Reconnaissance Office. They dig into the Project for the New American Century&#39;s &quot;Rebuilding America&#39;s Defenses&quot; report and its now-infamous reference to a &quot;new Pearl Harbor,&quot; the wave of foreign intelligence warnings that went unheeded that summer, the FBI&#39;s missed opportunities with agent Kenneth Williams&#39; Phoenix memo and the Zacarias Moussaoui arrest, and the CIA&#39;s handling of hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi in the eighteen months before the attacks.</p><p>It&#39;s a night of following the money, the paper trail, and the chain of command — with the guys openly debating where negligence ends and something else begins. </p>
