Many are aware of the surge in put options purchased on American and United Airlines as well as several major tenants of the WTC in the days preceding 9/11, purchases the 9/11 Commission Report waves away in a footnote on pg. 499 as having no connection with the events of 9/11 because the unnamed “institutional investors” responsible had ”no conceivable ties to al Qaeda”. More obscure, and nowhere mentioned in the Commission Report, are the facts of the WTC computer data recovery operation undertaken in late 2001 by Convar GmbH, a German firm. Under conditions of hermetic secrecy, Convar used its proprietary technology to salvage data from the damaged hard drives of WTC tenants, as reported in December 2001 by Reuters and CNN.

From the Reuters article:
“The suspicion is that inside information about the attack was used to send financial transaction commands and authorisations in the belief that amid all the chaos the criminals would have, at the very least, a good head start,” said Convar director Peter Henschel.”
“Richard Wagner, a data retrieval expert at the company, said illegal transfers of more than $100 million might have been made immediately before and during the disaster.”
“There is a suspicion that some people had advance knowledge of the approximate time of the plane crashes in order to move out amounts exceeding $100 million,” Wagner said. “They thought that the records of their transactions could not be traced after the main frames were destroyed.”
“Henschel said the companies in the United States were working together with the FBI to piece together what happened on September 11 and that he was confident the destination of the dubious transactions would one day be tracked down.”
Convar’s website features two videos confirming that Convar GmbH did in fact process the WTC hard drives. http://www.datarecovery-europe.com/ The second examines the disk recovery process in detail, and explicitly acknowleges the transactions in question as “secret, controversial data”.
In the 9/10/2006 episode of the Dutch program Zembla, a Convar representative confirms again the incriminating nature of this data, and does so in a manner that makes clear he has recently been warned against such confirmation.
The widely disseminated claim that Kroll Associates–the powerful private-intelligence firm responsible for some elements of WTC security on 9/11–acquired Convar in June 2002 remains unsubstantiated. What can be verified is that Kroll purchased Ontrack Data Recovery, a US-based rival of Convar with offices in Germany.
After the CNN article of December 20, the US media were stricken mute on the Convar investigation. Of the media blackouts shrouding 9/11, none has been more absolute.
Notice that Convar, its unnamed WTC clients and the FBI possessed these data, and that the FBI would have no reason to withhold the results of its investigation had they proven benign or consistent with the Commission’s account of the attacks.
It is worth remembering what Sibel Edmonds told Jim Hogue: “I can tell you that the issue, on one side, boils down to money–a lot of money. and it boils down to people and their connections with this money…” http://baltimorechronicle.com/050704SibelEdmonds.shtml
Consider again Wagner’s inference: “They thought that the records of their transactions could not be traced after the main frames were destroyed.” The locations of the computers in question within the towers is unknown, but if Wagner is correct, two possibilities emerge: (1) either the “insiders” had foreknowledge of the precise impact points of the aircraft (otherwise why assume that the main frames would be destroyed?) or (2) they had foreknowledge of the total destruction of the towers. Upon reflection, for numerous reasons the first possibility recedes into remote improbability. But why would “insiders” assume the total collapse of the towers when there was no historical precedent for such an event and the towers had been designed to survive the impact of fuel-laden 707s at 600mph? http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/design.html
If in fact the WTC towers were demolished by explosives, incendiaries or other means, whoever initiated these transactions should be considered suspect for complicity in those acts.
No legitimate reason–in fact no reason whatsoever–for withholding the Convar data has to date been offered.

It seems a simple answer to a lot of the questions raised above would be to “follow the money”. Too bad it won’t happen.
Nothing in this article is true. No hard drives were ever sent to Germany. And no data was ever tracked. There was not one hard-drive that could have been salvaged from the wreckage. They were lucky to find any pieces of material larger than a dollar bill intact.
Thank you, “Fred”, for that fine example of cognitive dissonance.
“Nothing in this article is true.”
Notice the sources include Reuters News Service, CNN and Convar itself on its website. Convar employees confirm the recovery of this data on video and later on audio. Reuters and CNN cite the FBI as a source.
Don’t you think if Osama, Saddam or some other official bogeyman had pulled this off you would have been informed about this by now?
Your awakening has begun. You have my sympathies.
Dear Fred: Your reference to “…pieces of material larger than a dollar bill intact…” pleases me. It pleases me because, in your undisguised ignorance, you confirm that which you would deny. That is, the explosions that occurred in each of the 3 buildings reduced paper and other things to “smithereens,” and not to ash. The money involved in this deed is beyond imagining and it flew from these buildings straight into the coffers of Halliburton, General Electric, KBR, Blackwater and countless other blood-sucking entities who continue to profit as the Bush Admin criminals continue to wave the spectre of another “attack” by bin Laden in our moonstruck, dumbstruck faces. The “shock and awe” was actually for us, not for Iraq. And, I note, no one ever seems to question the authenticity of these tapes which miraculously appear at politically advantageous moments. Videos of OBL in a couple of cases are not OBL at all, but we are so ready to believe and to lay blame where we are told to. But all of that and much more notwithstanding, Fred, what are your sources for such claims?
Hey Fred, “They were lucky to find any pieces of material larger than a dollar bill intact.” And yet, they found intact passports identifying the hijackers???
Fred, Do you think we never heard of the disinformation campaign by the Pentagon ?
Think we are so stupid we can not take 5 gal of kerosene and pour into a barrel and burn it with a peice of steel “I” Beam over it ? Think we can not see that hours of burning the fuel even with the steel beam in the fuel never melts the steel beam or weakens it ?
Jet Fuel does not burn hot enough.
Also why is MARVIN BUSH’s sudden appearence before 9/11 with the Security Contractor for the World Trade Center seldom mentioned. The 3 day shut down for repairs of the World Trade Center, the Israeli Company moving floor to floor working in secret from the Maintance Department, Israeli Students dacing and cheering in parks as the attack occurred, all the things just do not add up.
Thermite was used we know it so drop the bull.
All the current power grab by the government and the executive begins with the tragedy of 911.
The only reasonable explanation for why the towers fell, points to 911 as an inside job. One of the Bush family was in charge of security of the stinking buildings. As in all the “Tin Foil” conspiracies since JFK, the general public will continue to eat the spoon fed lies of the “lone nut” or the “terrorists that hate America”. Meanwhile, all America’s freedoms, liberty and wealth are stolen by a small cabal of globalist with an agenda of death or enslavement of the masses.
None of our elected officials have the courage to take this on. To many whistle blowers have already met their makers. Do your own research. The facts are there.
