BEg2 Chap 8 Summary Part 1

[Mark Kohut]

Well, I'm not slamming Joseph here despite his belief that some might and I
have in the past.
At this point in the book and the real world what do we know: first, Bin
Laden had money, rich family. Saudi Arabia had/has money.
America has/had money. American technocrat/budding oligarchs had money. Our
intel agencies, almost any country's has all the money they need.
In the book the money is massive and becomes unknown, hidden, created out
of fraud billing and more. IPO's etc. Venture capital infusions.
As TRP shows in GR, money funds war. Don't need no literal details to build
your conspiracy theory to believe there was unknown money behind it, money
made,
and money like this kind of terrorism is transnational. Which is caught
here by our favorite genius....
