    Default Billions in 'Bin Laden Trades' were just executed

    (snip)"THIS SALE ON THE SPY.X AND THE ONE FROM YESTERDAY ON THE SPY.Y
    (MENTIONED TWO STORIES BELOW) ARE BEING REFERRED-TO BY FOLKS IN THE
    MARKET AS "BIN LADEN TRADES" BECAUSE ONLY AN ACT OF TERRORISM AKIN TO
    9-11 (WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS) COULD MAKE THESE OPTIONS VALUABLE.

    There are 65,000 contracts @ $750.00 for the SPX 700 calls for open
    interest. That controls 6.5 million shares at $750 = $4.5 Billion. Not a
    single trade. But quite a bit of $$ on a contract that is 700 points
    away from current value. No one would buy that deep "in the money"
    calls. No reason to. So if they were sold looks like someone betting on
    massive dislocation. Lots of very strange option activity that I haven't
    seen before.

    The entity or individual offering these sales can only make money if the
    market drops 30%-50% within the next four weeks. If the market does not
    drop, the entity or individual involved stands to lose over $1 billion
    just for engaging in these contracts!

    Clearly, someone knows something big is going to happen BEFORE the options expire on Sept. 21.

    THEORIES:
    The following theories are being discussed widely within the stock and
    options markets today regarding the enormous and very unusual activity
    reported above and two stories below. Those theories are:

    1) A massive terrorist attack is going to take place before Sept. 21 to
    tank the markets, OR;
    2) China, reeling over losing $10 Billion in bad loans to the sub-prime
    mortgage collapse presently taking place, is going to dump US currency
    and tank all of Capitalism with a Communist financial revolution.

    Either scenario is bad and the clock is ticking. The drop-dead date of
    these contracts is September 21. Whatever is going to happen MUST take
    place between now and then or the folks involved in these contracts will
    lose over $1 billion for having engaged in this activity. "(snip)

    (snip)"Bear in mind that the last time anyone conducted such large and unusual
    stock option trades (like this one) was in the weeks before the attacks
    of September 11.

    Back then, they bought huge numbers of PUTS on airline stocks in the
    same airlines whose planes were involved in the September 11 attacks.
    Despite knowing who made these trades, the Securities and Exchange
    Commission NEVER revealed who made the unusual trades and no one was
    ever publicly identified as being responsible for the trades which made
    upwards of $50 million when the attacks happened.

    The fact that this latest activity by a single entity gambles on a
    complete collapse of the entire market by the third week in September,
    seems to indicate someone knows something really huge is in the works
    and they intend to profit almost $2 Billion within the next four weeks
    from whatever happens! This is really worrisome." "(snip)

    I think Bush will attack Iran before he leaves office, I just don't know when.

    The Bush regime has no support in the U.S. for an attack on Iran, so they'll probably stage another terror attack similiar to 9-11 and blame it on the Iranians.

    Geez, how many times will Americans fall for this trick. Almost every war we've been in, the government pulls a false-flag attack or incident, then blames it on our "enemies" (those who don't want to be part of our Empire) to rally the American people, and they fall for it, hook, line, and sinker.

    The sinking of the Maine (Spanish-American War), the sinking of the Lusitania (WW1), the Golf of Tonkin incident (Vietnam War), and 9-11 (Iraq War), are some famous false-flag operations that have led to war.

    I'm buying and selling stocks, but not holding onto anything. Trying to make 1 to 3% per trade, then selling. I don't want to get caught holding when the Bush regime stages another attack, or just outright bombs Iran without provocation.

    This will lead to $125 a barrel oil, and a big hit to the stock market.

    Aaaaah, I don't want to believe this is true. But one can almost always speculate which direction a company is going based on options excersiced by restricted persons. So....buries head in sand

    ^^^ well keep in mind that these are options on SPYders i.e. the S&P 500 index ... which is dominated by the stocks of big financial houses.

    ^^^ well you can see how the options buying was distributed around ...



    Talk about 'painting the strip' !!! 10,000 contracts each on almost every available 'deep in the money' September SPX call option.

    Arguably, the reason that you're not hearing a lot about these call options in mainstream media is ... how do I put this delicately ... 'news management'

    Keep in mind that the volume of options contracts at each strike aren't necessarily BOUGHT....the could be SOLD options contracts as part of either a bear call spread or someone who sold a naked call.

    I personally have a bear call spread on the spy. I sold the 148 and bought the 150.

    You want to know why we always fall for all the dirty tricks and why no matter how much they say we won we really lose. It's because everyone else bin laden all of them have read the book The Art of War. The only one who hasn't is the one who needs to the most and that's Bush. If you read the book and then think about what all that has taken place they've been following it to the letter. Bush has done everything the opposite way.
    You guys are right something Huge is coming you can feel it. I have a friend who has this amazing ability to predict things and this is No Joke.Things just come to him out of the blue and he'll tell you that something is going to happen on this date and what it is and how much damage its going to cause.
    He predicted the big storm that hit Texas back in July. He made the prediction a month and a half in advance! he told me the date and where it was going to hit and how bad it was going to be. And sure enough July 14th it hit Brownsville Texas with a fury. He actually made the prediction on 5/10.Pretty impressive huh. I know I was amazed.

    In the whole time I've known him (years) he's only been wrong once and he wasn't totally wrong it was just how bad a storm was going to be.But other then that he's always right.

    Anyway he's been telling me that there is going to be another terrorist attack only on this side(California) instead of back east.It's been kinda vague for some reason usually he can be more detailed, But he did say it's probably going to involve a bridge and therefore kinda alienating us by cutting off the ways for us to get supplies.
    I'm sure I'll be seeing him in the next day or so I'm going to see if he has any more info. And I'll keep you posted. I believe he truly has a gift of seeing and If you want I'll post any predictions he makes. You will be amazed to.

    Oh, I forgot one thing the reason rumor mill news and others aren't considered respectable is the government doesn't want you to believe them because they ARE telling the truth.
    Anyone that speaks up and tells us something that isn't morally or legally right against the government is defaced. We're told they are lying or crazy look at what they did to the guy who made the 9/11 film Fahrenheit . They shredded him! If you've seen it then you know There's no way he could have doctored anything up to alter any picture he shows you.Not even with todays technology. You can still spot little things in doctored photos and video. If what he said wasn't true then where did he get the footage and photos he has.

    The government has been trying to get us to choke down mass amounts of bullshit since the beginning of time i.e. JFK and the magic bullet theory what a joke! And I don't think they are going to stop now.

    Here's a little 411 for ya Did you know the Bush family made their money in the beginning by helping Hitler launder money! 100% True! Interesting isn't it.

    this isn't confined to SPY options either ...

    (snip)"I have been studying the gold options. It looks like we have some big action brewing.

    In the October contract the largest PUT Open Interest is 5016 at strike $650. The largest CALL OI is 6696 at Strike $700.

    Looking at December contract the largest PUT Open Interest is 10060 at strike $600. The largest CALL OI is 19679 at Strike $800.

    There are also CALL OI of 18598 @ $700, 11285 @ $850, 3935 @ $900 and 7161 @ $1000

    It is absolutely stunning that the CALL Open interest in December Strike $1000 exceeds the OI in October Strike $700. It is also very significant that the largest position is $140 higher than the price today.

    It is not Joe & Jane six-pack who buy gold options. This is a way for serious money to get a big position in gold without blowing the roof off the price when they purchase. If the price moves into the strike price the options can be exercised for futures contracts or gold bullion.

    I will have more on this developing story later."(snip) from an investor BBS

    CHATTER ABOUT AN " INCIDENT" ON THE WEST COAST AND AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL


    "... Chatter picked up by WMR's sources in the nation's capital and in California point to unusual events that could be a prelude to a 9/11-like false flag "incident" during the Labor Day weekend, possibly one focused on the San Francisco Bay Area.

    The FBI in Seattle, as well as the Washington Joint Analytical Center (WJAC), have asked for the public's help in identifying two men spotted aboard Washington state ferries exhibiting unusual behavior. A number of ferry passengers have reported the two men showing strange behavior.

    Two photos have been circulated showing two young "Middle East" looking men on board a ferry. The reluctance of the FBI to provide more details is reminiscent of the 2000 and 2001 closely-held government reports that a number of teams of between two and five to six young male and female Israelis, all veteran or reserve Israeli Defense Force members, were spotted casing federal facilities, oil refineries, harbor areas, homes of federal law enforcement officials, office buildings -- including the World Trade Center, bridges, tunnels, and military bases and airfields prior to and subsequent to the 9/11 attacks.

    The Israelis were described in a number of federal reports as "Middle East-looking" in appearance. The FBI never sought to prosecute the Israelis, many of whom were using the intelligence covers of office and home furniture movers, vendors of toys at shopping mall kiosks, and art students selling bogus Israeli artwork, and merely turned them over to U.S. immigration authorities for deportation back to Israel. The code phrase "Middle East looking" has since become politically-correct FBI-speak for Israelis. Nationals of Arab countries are described as Arabs in official law enforcement intelligence reports. However, Israeli influence over the Bush administration prevents Israelis in the United States operating illegally or pursuing other dubious activities from being described as Israelis.

    As a senior law enforcement official in northern New Jersey told this editor that there should have been some "healthy skepticism" shown by federal, state, and local law enforcement officials about the activities of Israeli nationals in and around New York City prior to 9/11. The official, who was appointed by then-Governor Jim McGreevey, knew that his boss had been compromised in an Israeli intelligence "honey trap" involving Israeli agent Golan Cipel, who McGreevey appointed chief of homeland security for New Jersey after 9/11. Cipel, an Israeli national, had full access to sensitive information about every critical infrastructure facility in the state. ..."

    I think when you put billions into this, it is legitimate (i.e. not a james bond movie).

    I will be the first to admit I know next to nothing about stocks.

    I have read on other boards that the calls basically saying there will be a decline in the market but not a crash, others are saying it could be a hedge fund trying to drive the market down, others the calls are actually pointing to a crash in foreign markets, and others who say no matter what happens the put call could still make money the way it is listed.

    My question is what do you think it means exactly?

    my personal opinion tends to go along the same lines as Katrine and other experienced investors. When 'big money' starts moving in a certain direction in options / futures markets, but in a stealthy manner, it usually means that 'insiders' have knowledge of future events that will affect those 'big money' investments that does NOT rely on crystal ball gazing.

    well, the 'tin foil hat' crowd would point to an aborted mission ...

    (snip)"-- SPECIAL REPORT --
    Air Force refused to fly weapons to Middle East theater
    By Wayne Madsen
    Sept. 24, 2007
    Author's website

    WMR has learned from U.S. and foreign intelligence sources that the B-52 transporting six stealth AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles, each armed with a W-80-1 nuclear warhead, on August 30, were destined for the Middle East via Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

    However, elements of the Air Force, supported by U.S. intelligence agency personnel, successfully revealed the ultimate destination of the nuclear weapons and the mission was aborted due to internal opposition within the Air Force and U.S. Intelligence Community.

    Yesterday, the /Washington Post/ attempted to explain away the fact that America's nuclear command and control system broke down in an unprecedented manner by reporting that it was the result of "security failures at multiple levels." It is now apparent that the command and control breakdown, reported as a BENT SPEAR incident to the Secretary of Defense and White House, was not the result of a command and control chain-of-command "failures" but the result of a revolt and push back by various echelons within the Air Force and intelligence agencies against a planned U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional
    weapons.

    The /Washington Post/ story on BENT SPEAR may have actually been an effort in damage control by the Bush administration. WMR has been informed by a knowledgeable source that one of the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles was, and may still be, unaccounted for. In that case, the nuclear reporting incident would have gone far beyond BENT SPEAR to a National Command Authority alert known as EMPTY QUIVER, with the special classification of PINNACLE.

    Just as this report was being prepared, /Newsweek/ reported that Vice President Dick Cheney's recently-departed Middle East adviser, David Wurmser, told a small group of advisers some months ago that Cheney had considered asking Israel to launch a missile attack on the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz. Cheney reasoned that after an Iranian retaliatory strike, the United States would have ample reasons to launch its own massive attack on Iran. However, plans for Israel to attack Iran directly were altered to an Israeli attack on a supposed Syrian-Iranian-North Korean nuclear installation in northern Syria.

    WMR has learned that a U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional weapons was scheduled to coincide with Israel's September 6 air attack on a reputed Syrian nuclear facility in Dayr az-Zwar, near the village of Tal Abyad, in northern Syria, near the Turkish border. Israel's attack, code named OPERATION ORCHARD, was to provide a reason for the U.S. to strike Iran. The neo-conservative propaganda onslaught was to cite the cooperation of the George Bush's three remaining "Axis of Evil" states -- Syria, Iran, and North Korea -- to justify a sustained Israeli attack on Syria and a massive U.S. military attack on Iran.

    WMR has learned from military sources on both sides of the Atlantic that there was a definite connection between Israel's OPERATION ORCHARD and BENT SPEAR involving the B-52 that flew the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale. There is also a connection between these two events as the Pentagon's highly-classified PROJECT CHECKMATE, a compartmented U.S. Air Force program that has been working on an attack plan for Iran since June 2007, around the same time that Cheney was working on the joint Israeli-U.S. attack scenario on Iran.

    PROJECT CHECKMATE was leaked in an article by military analyst Eric Margolis in the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper, the /Times of London/, is a program that involves over two dozen Air Force officers and is headed by Brig. Gen. Lawrence Stutzriem and his chief civilian adviser, Dr. Lani Kass, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who, astoundingly, is now involved in planning a joint U.S.-Israeli massive military attack on Iran that involves a "decapitating" blow on Iran by hitting between three to four thousand targets in the country. Stutzriem and Kass report directly to the Air Force Chief of Staff, General Michael Moseley, who has also been charged with preparing a report on the B-52/nuclear weapons incident.

    Kass' area of speciality is cyber-warfare, which includes ensuring "information blockades," such as that imposed by the Israeli government on the Israeli media regarding the Syrian air attack on the alleged Syrian "nuclear installation." British intelligence sources have reported that the Israeli attack on Syria was a "true flag" attack originally designed to foreshadow a U.S. attack on Iran. After the U.S. Air Force push back against transporting the six cruise nuclear-armed AGM-129s to the Middle East, Israel went ahead with its attack on Syria in order to help ratchet up tensions between Washington on one side and Damascus, Tehran, and Pyongyang on the other.

    The other part of CHECKMATE's brief is to ensure that a media "perception management" is waged against Syria, Iran, and North Korea. This involves articles such as that which appeared with Joby Warrick's and Walter Pincus' bylines in yesterdays /Washington Post/. The article, titled "The Saga of a Bent Spear," quotes a number of seasoned Air Force nuclear weapons experts as saying that such an incident is unprecedented in the history of the Air Force. For example, Retired Air Force General Eugene Habiger, the former chief of the U.S. Strategic Command, said he has been in the "nuclear business" since 1966 and has never been aware of an incident "more disturbing."

    Command and control breakdowns involving U.S. nuclear weapons are unprecedented, except for that fact that the U.S. military is now waging an internal war against neo-cons who are embedded in the U.S. government and military chain of command who are intent on using nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive war with Iran.

    CHECKMATE and OPERATION ORCHARD would have provided the cover for a pre-emptive U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran had it not been for BENT SPEAR involving the B-52. In on the plan to launch a pre-emptive attack on Iran involving nuclear weapons were, according to our sources, Cheney, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley; members of the CHECKMATE team at the Pentagon, who have close connections to Israeli intelligence and pro-Israeli think tanks in Washington, including the Hudson Institute; British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, a political adviser to Tony Blair prior to becoming a Member of Parliament; Israeli political leaders like Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu; and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who did his part last week to ratchet up tensions with Iran by suggesting that war with Iran was a probability. Kouchner retracted his statement after the U.S. plans for Iran were delayed.

    Although the Air Force tried to keep the B-52 nuclear incident from the media, anonymous Air Force personnel leaked the story to /Military Times/ on September 5, the day before the Israelis attacked the alleged nuclear installation in Syria and the day planned for the simultaneous U.S. attack on Iran. The leaking of classified information on U.S. nuclear weapons disposition or movement to the media, is, itself, unprecedented.
    Air Force regulations require the sending of classified BEELINE reports to higher Air Force authorities on the disclosure of classified Air Force information to the media.

    In another highly unusual move, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has asked an outside inquiry board to look into BENT SPEAR, even before the Air Force has completed its own investigation, a virtual vote of no confidence in the official investigation being conducted by Major General Douglas Raaberg, chief of air and space operations at the Air Combat Command.

    Gates asked former Air Force Chief of Staff, retired General Larry Welch, to lead a Defense Science Board task force that will also look into the BENT SPEAR incident. The official Air Force investigation has reportedly been delayed for unknown reasons. Welch is President and CEO of the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA), a federally-funded research contractor that operates three research centers, including one for Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President and another for the National Security Agency. One of the board members of IDA is Dr. Suzanne H. Woolsey of the Paladin Capital Group and wife of former CIA director and arch-neocon James Woolsey.

    WMR has learned that neither the upper echelons of the State Department nor the British Foreign Office were privy to OPERATION ORCHARD, although Hadley briefed President Bush on Israeli spy satellite intelligence that showed the Syrian installation was a joint nuclear facility built with North Korean and Iranian assistance. However, it is puzzling why Hadley would rely on Israeli imagery intelligence (IMINT) from its OFEK (Horizon) 7 satellite when considering that U.S. IMINT satellites have greater capabilities.

    The Air Force's "information warfare" campaign against media reports on CHECKMATE and OPERATION ORCHARD also affected international reporting of the recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution asking Israel to place its nuclear weapons program under IAEA controls, similar to those that the United States wants imposed on Iran and North Korea. The resolution also called for a nuclear-free zone throughout the Middle East. The IAEA's resolution, titled "Application of IAEA Safeguards in the Middle East," was passed by the 144-member IAEA General Meeting on September 20 by a vote of 53 to 2, with 47 abstentions. The only two countries to vote against were Israel and the United States. However, the story carried from the IAEA meeting in Vienna by Reuters, the Associated Press, and Agence France Press, was that it was Arab and Islamic nations that voted for the resolution.

    This was yet more perception management carried out by CHECKMATE, the White House, and their allies in Europe and Israel with the connivance of the media. In fact, among the 53 nations that voted for the resolution were China, Russia, India, Ireland, and Japan. The 47 abstentions were described as votes "against" the resolution even though an abstention is neither a vote for nor against a measure. America's close allies, including Britain, France, Australia, Canada, and Georgia, all abstained.

    Suspiciously, the IAEA carried only a brief item on the resolution concerning Israel's nuclear program and a roll call vote was not available either at the IAEA's web site -- -- or in the media.

    The perception management campaign by the neocon operational cells in the Bush administration, Israel and Europe was designed to keep a focus on Iran's nuclear program, not on Israel's. Any international examination of Israel's nuclear weapons program would likely bring up Israeli nuclear scientist Mordechai Vanunu, a covert from Judaism to Christianity, who was kidnapped in Rome by a Mossad "honey trap" named Cheryl Bentov (aka, Cindy) and a Mossad team in 1986 and held against his will in Israel ever since.

    Vanunu's knowledge of the Israeli nuclear weapons program would focus on the country's own role in nuclear proliferation, including its program to share nuclear weapons technology with apartheid South Africa and Taiwan in the late 1970s and 1980s. The role of Ronald Reagan's Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency Ken Adelman in Israeli's nuclear proliferation during the time frame 1983-1987 would also come under scrutiny. Adelman, a member of the Reagan-Bush transition State Department team from November 1980 to January 1981, voiced his understanding for the nuclear weapons programs of Israel, South Africa, and Taiwan in a June 28, 1981 /New York Times/ article titled, "3 Nations Widening Nuclear Contacts." The journalist who wrote the article was Judith Miller. Adelman felt that the three countries wanted nuclear weapons because of their ostracism from the West, the third world, and the hostility from the Communist countries. Of course, today, the same argument can be used by Iran, North Korea, and other "Axis of Evil" nations so designated by the neocons in the Bush administration and other governments.

    There are also news reports that suggest an intelligence relationship between Israel and North Korea. On July 21, 2004, New Zealand's /Dominion Post/ reported that three Mossad agents were involved in espionage in New Zealand. Two of the Mossad agents, Uriel Kelman and Elisha Cara (aka Kra), were arrested and imprisoned by New Zealand police (an Israeli diplomat in Canberra, Amir Lati, was expelled by Australia and New Zealand intelligence identified a fourth Mossad agent involved in the New Zealand espionage operation in Singapore). The third Mossad agent in New Zealand, Zev William Barkan (aka Lev Bruckenstein), fled New Zealand -- for North Korea.

    New Zealand Foreign Minister Phil Goff revealed that Barkan, a former Israeli Navy diver, had previously worked at the Israeli embassy in Vienna, which is also the headquarters of the IAEA. He was cited by the /Sydney Morning Herald/ as trafficking in passports stolen from foreign tourists in Thailand, Myanmar,
    Laos, and Cambodia. New Zealand's One News reported that Barkan was in North Korea to help the nation build a wall to keep its citizens from leaving.

    The nuclear brinkmanship involving the United States and Israel and the breakdown in America's command and control systems have every major capital around the world wondering about the Bush administration's true intentions."(snip)

    Of course, just like all other posts from Melonie, nothing really happened.

    As explained more accurately by Britney, some hedge funds make money by writing so far Out-Of-The-Money calls.

    Intelligence is a curse when you over-analyze things or read shady blogs.

    actually a LOT of unexpected things happened ... they just happened pre-emptively ...

    - America's military 'surge' in Iraq disrupted the leadership of islamic terrorist organizations 'permanently'

    - The US cut some sort of a secret deal with the Iranians and the Saudis to have them 'rein in' islamic terrorist organizations in exchange for the US backing off on the Iranian nuclear threat plus backing off on unconditional support for Israel

    - The US Fed and European Central Bank, with help from the central banks of other western countries, 'injected' over 1 TRILLION DOLLARS worth of freshly printed money into the world's financial system / houses ... which are the single largest component of the S&P index
