“And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proferred to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.”

- Winston Churchill, 5th October 1938

Terrorists may have tried to profit with ‘put’ orders

By Greg Farrell and Christine Dugas, USA TODAY
09/19/2001 - Updated 07:52 AM ET

The Chicago Board Options Exchange has joined the Securities and Exchange Commission and European regulators poring over unusual trading in the stock of airlines and reinsurance companies before last week’s terrorist attacks.

In the USA, regulators noticed an extraordinary rise in the number of “put” contracts purchased in American Airlines and United Airlines stock immediately prior to attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

According to data from Bloomberg, traders swapped 1,535 October “put” contracts on American Airlines stock at $30 on Sept. 10, the day before the hijackings. That is more than five times the previous average.

The put contracts amounted to a bet AMR would dip below $30 by Oct. 20. On Monday, the first day of trading following the attack, AMR stock plummeted to $18, from $30.15 before the attack.

Bloomberg data show an even bigger jump in United put contracts, with 2,000 put contracts changing hands on Sept. 6, almost 100 times more than normal.

Investigators also have focused on potential short-selling of stock in three insurers. Munich Re in Germany, Swiss Re in Switzerland and AXA in France predict huge claims from the damage.

“It’s very hard to believe that this is random,” says Charles Calomiris of Columbia Business School.

More on Choices…

Yesterday I wrote:

A human once said that the end justifies the means. And if I intend good, then my use of evil means is forgiven.

Another human said the means become the ends. If I use evil means even in the pursuit of good ends, I become evil.

We humans have a choice in how we go about trying to make the world better. If we see the world as part evil, we can hate that part of the world that is evil and try to hurt and kill it. That is what the terrorists did who attacked the World Trade Center. They said the United States was Satan and they focused on making the evil part of the world less and less.

However, we have another choice. We can choose to see the world as part good, then we can love that part of the world that is good and try to help and support it. We can choose to focus on making the good part of the world more and more.

Remembering that the choices we make today will determine our future. What choice will you make?

Arthur Noll Responds

Timothy brought up the question of good and evil, means and ends.  People often go around endlessly on these things, what they are and why.  I suspect that often our ideas of what is good and what is evil is confused in our minds, and this cannot help but create confusion when we try to talk with other confused people about it. So I tried to look at the matter closer, and came up with the following train of thought. 

A basic principle of the universe, as I see it, is the principle of repulsion and attraction.  Consider two atoms.  What else can they do, except either be attracted to each other, or repulsed?  Having neither is simply the zero point on the scale between high attraction and high repulsion.  There are no other forces for the relationship between two entities, than attraction and repulsion.

While some are repulsed by the idea of being compared to an atom, I don’t see that people really behave any differently.  We are either attracted or repulsed by other people, or things, or ideas.  What I call “good”, is something I am attracted to.  I want it in my life.  What I call “evil”, is something I find repulsive, I want it away from me, I don’t want it part of my life. Everything we want is formed out of the various combinations of attraction and repulsion. 

While this idea of attraction and rejection, good and evil, is simple enough, we can quickly come to a point of confusion here.  It is a fundamental thing that people don’t want death or pain for themselves.  We want to live, take it for granted that this is a good thing.  And yet, if we look at the big picture, death is part of life.  Without death of others, life for ourselves would not be possible.  We kill to eat, plants, animals.  We kill to have shelter the same way. If we kill too much, though, we don’t have anything to live on.  Additionally, creatures of all species die with age, or are killed in various ways, leaving their offspring in their place. All around us, we find death and life in a continuing cycle. We want to live, don’t want to die, but death is part of life. How can this apparent contradiction be resolved?  Some respond and say that there is no good or evil.  But that is like saying that there is no attraction and repulsion in the universe, and clearly there is.  Many, I think most, disregard such complications of whether death is good or not, and for them, life for them is good, death for them is bad, end of the matter.  That was a viewpoint that worked very well in the past, where many factors killed us and we had no idea how to stop it.  We could view death as bad, struggle against it as much as we wanted, and yet it came and was really good for us.  The life around us, that sustained us, was abundant, we couldn’t take too much no matter how hard we tried, and we lived relatively well for much of the time.

So the resolution of the matter is rather simple, actually, and is found in a single word.  Balance.  Death is not always bad. Too much death is bad. The right amount of death is good. Too much of one kind of life is bad for others, because they get too much death.  Everything living is bound together in a balance of life and death.  Too much death of one thing, is ultimately bad for the life form that prospers at it’s expense, because the two are bound together

 Around the globe, it has been tacitly accepted that balance is to be ignored.  The growth of human population at the expense of other living things was considered wholly good.  Technology and scientific understanding gave us an edge over the ancient “enemy”, of death.  Societies didn’t look at the big picture.  It seems likely that the average capacity of understanding, of sensitivity, was not, and is not there, to see this picture.  When the limits imposed by balance were reached, the solution was to find alternatives.   You could move on to other land.  If there was not enough wood, use coal, then oil and gas. Used up the soil fertility? Use oil and gas to mine and manufacture fertilizers and transport food. If these various alternatives involve land where other groups of people live, those people must be dealt with.  The resources must be taken, or the continued growth, “good”, will stop.  The other side sees it differently, their continued life, never mind growth, is in jeopardy, bad. 

Americans are presently violently repulsed at the idea that the only good American is a dead American.  How violently did they protest at the idea two centuries ago that the only good Indian is a dead Indian?  A small minority was against this idea, for many it was completely acceptable and was acted on.  This was the cultural fundamental, growth at the expense of others.  Slavery was also accepted on this premise.  It was ended, only to be replaced with wage slavery. Anyone against all this was evil.  Growth of material wealth and population was good, period.   While sometimes lip service is given to the idea of balance, actions speak louder than words.  Balance has been disregarded and is still disregarded.  It is not considered good, it would put restrictions on the growth considered good.  At the present time, fossil fuels have become indispensable to hold the line against death, and continue to increase population.  But they become depleted here, and the US puts it’s tentacles abroad.  And runs into other people once again.

There will be no end to war until the majority of people have the sensitivity to see balance as the prime good, the thing we have the greatest attraction too.  Rather than being willing to die for the sake of the continued growth of what we consider ours, we must be willing to die for the sake of balance.  Only then will there be peace in the world.

In the history of life, having a greater sensitivity to a problem has always given an edge to the life form possessing that sensitivity.  Whether it has been the sense of sight, hearing, touch, taste, if you needed it and didn’t have it, you ran into problems unaware, and died.  The fact that people have run heedless of balance to this point, in spite of warnings, tells me they cannot see the logic of it, and are likely to continue until they have smashed themselves to dust.  It is the rule of evolution, that survival is of the fittest.

There is a war between these two ways of thought, that has been fought over many centuries now.  Often it is fought inside of people’s minds as much as between separate individuals.  I recently saw an editorial in a newspaper, that we must have rational objectives for our wars, the American people will not stand to get involved in another quagmire.  I found this rather amusing, the American people are already standing deep in a quagmire, they don’t have any choices about stepping in, they are already in.  They have been marked for death, and the point emphasized in blood. The struggle between balance and unlimited growth is really what it is all about.  We may not want the battle, it is there whether we like it or not.  If we want to resolve the battle, we must define closely what it is that we find good, and why.  To leave this unresolved, means we will only thrash deeper and deeper into the mud, and never find a bottom.  

As Timothy says, this is our choice, this is the point at which we make fundamental decisions about what we believe in, what is good, and what is evil.

It may not be those we first suspect!

On September 12, I wrote on this page:

Caution! We need to move slowly and carefully. Yesterday’s events have left me and many others numb, bewildered, sad and angry.

It all seems like an opening Chapter of a Tom Clancy novel. And like Tom Clancy’s stories, it may only be the first act. We must be very careful. Our first need it to protect ourselves and our country. We must avoid any rush to judgement. This was one of the most devastating and successful attacks in the history of human warfare. Those behind it are very dangerous. And, they may not be those we first suspect.

Yesterday, it was reported by Yahoo Finance that the stock market may have been manipulated by those with pre-knowledge of the attack on America. By selling airline stocks short billions of dollars may have been stolen.

Today, it is reported by the BBC‘s George Arney that:

“the US was planning military action against Osama Bin Laden and the Taleban even before last week’s attacks.

“Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.

“Mr Naik said US officials told him of the plan at a UN-sponsored international contact group on Afghanistan which took place in Berlin.

“Mr Naik told the BBC that at the meeting the US representatives told him that unless Bin Laden was handed over swiftly America would take military action to kill or capture both Bin Laden and the Taleban leader, Mullah Omar.

“The wider objective, according to Mr Naik, would be to topple the Taleban regime and install a transitional government of moderate Afghans in its place – possibly under the leadership of the former Afghan King Zahir Shah.

“Mr Naik was told that Washington would launch its operation from bases in Tajikistan, where American advisers were already in place.

” He was told that Uzbekistan would also participate in the operation and that 17,000 Russian troops were on standby.

“Mr Naik was told that if the military action went ahead it would take place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the latest.”

And so the plot thickens. Again I caution. We need to move slowly. We need more information.

A Synergic Response

Economist Wayne Perg proposes a win-win response to our present world crisis.

“I create true human and economic satisfaction not by consuming ever more, but rather by working together with others to create things and services, sharing them with others and appreciating them. The object of economic activity is not to “get more for less,” it is to “do more with less.”

“When we apply the correct object of economic activity to a massive investment in renewable energy sources, we will see this investment not as a cost, but rather as a gain that will produce satisfying jobs and economic growth while protecting our priceless environment. And we can at the same time take a major step toward disarming Islamic Terrorism, a true win-win.”

My View as an Afghan-American

Mir Tamim Ansary is a noted author of books on native Americans, and Afghanistan. The following is from a letter he posted on the internet yesterday.

“Let me now speak with true fear and trembling. The only way to get Bin Laden is to go in there with ground troops. I think that when people speak of “having the belly to do what needs to be done” many of them are thinking in terms of having the belly to kill as many as needed. They are thinking about overcoming moral qualms about killing innocent people. But it’s the belly to die not kill that’s actually on the table. Americans will die in a land war to get Bin Laden. And not just because some Americans would die fighting their way through Afghanistan to Bin Laden’s hideout. It’s much bigger than that, folks. To get any troops to Afghanistan, we’d have to go through Pakistan. Would they let us? Not likely. The conquest of Pakistan would have to be first. Will other Muslim nations just stand by? You see where I’m going. The invasion approach is a flirtation with global war between Islam and the West.

And that is Bin Laden’s program. That’s exactly what he wants and why he did this thing. Read his speeches and statements. It’s all right there. At the moment, of course, “Islam” as such does not exist. There are Muslims and there are Muslim countries, but no such political entity as Islam. Bin Laden believes that if he can get a war started, he can constitute this entity and he’d be running it. He really believes Islam would beat the west. It might seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can polarize the world into Islam and the West, he’s got a billion soldiers. If the West wreaks a holocaust in Muslim lands, that’s a billion people with nothing left to lose, even better from Bin Laden’s point of view. He’s probably wrong about winning, in the end the west would probably overcome–whatever that would mean in such a war; but the war would last for years and millions would die, not just theirs but ours. Who has the belly for that? Bin Laden yes, but anyone else?”

My Thinking

Arthur Noll

Osama Bin Laden has been in the news a lot recently.  Whether he is in back of the recent attack or not, it seems worthwhile to note some of the things he has said in the past.  He considers all Americans targets for death.  His hatred started during the Gulf War, the result of all the destruction visited on the Iraqi people.  The culture of the west and it’s relentless advance on the rest of the world, is also repugnant to him and many other Muslims.

It does seem a bit unfair to be considered a target, if one was like me, strongly opposed to the Gulf War, and is not in favor of the western culture that is dependent on oil.  There are those here who agree with me that the culture has lost needed restraint about catering to human instincts, fulfilling wants, not needs.  A war for oil made no sense at the time for me.  Better to have spent the resources on weaning away from it, bowing to the inevitable end of the stuff.  Instead, we made bitter enemies and have come no nearer to losing our addiction.  Unfair or not, we are in the situation and must deal with it.  Probably the Osama Bin Ladens of the world, would say, too bad, the US killed lots of peace loving people too.  Get in the way, and you die.

The Deeper Wound

Deepak Chopra

As fate would have it, I was leaving New York on a jet flight that took off 45 minutes before the unthinkable happened. By the time we landed in Detroit, chaos had broken out. When I grasped the fact that American security had broken down so tragically, I couldn’t respond at first. My wife and son were also in the air on separate flights, one to Los Angeles, one to San Diego. My body went absolutely rigid with fear. All I could think about was their safety, and it took several hours before I found out that their flights had been diverted and both were safe.

Strangely, when the good news came, my body still felt that it had been hit by a truck. Of its own accord it seemed to feel a far greater trauma that reached out to the thousands who would not survive and the tens of thousands who would survive only to live through months and years of hell. And I asked myself, Why didn’t I feel this way last week? Why didn’t my body go stiff during the bombing of Iraq or Bosnia? Around the world my horror and worry are experienced every day. Mothers weep over horrendous loss, civilians are bombed mercilessly, refugees are ripped from any sense of home or homeland. Why did I not feel their anguish enough to call a halt to it?

As we hear the calls for tightened American security and a fierce military response to terrorism, it is obvious that none of us has any answers. However, we feel compelled to ask some questions.

Everything has a cause, so we have to ask, What was the root cause of this evil? We must find out not superficially but at the deepest level. There is no doubt that such evil is alive all around the world and is even celebrated.

Does this evil grow from the suffering and anguish felt by people we don’t know and therefore ignore? Have they lived in this condition for a long time?

One assumes that whoever did this attack feels implacable hatred for America. Why were we selected to be the focus of suffering around the world?

All this hatred and anguish seems to have religion at its basis. Isn’t something terribly wrong when jihads and wars develop in the name of God? Isn’t God invoked with hatred in Ireland, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Israel, Palestine, and even among the intolerant sects of America?

Can any military response make the slightest difference in the underlying cause? Is there not a deep wound at the heart of humanity?

If there is a deep wound, doesn’t it affect everyone?

When generations of suffering respond with bombs, suicidal attacks, and biological warfare, who first developed these weapons? Who sells them? Who gave birth to the satanic technologies now being turned against us?

If all of us are wounded, will revenge work? Will punishment in any form toward anyone solve the wound or aggravate it? Will an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and limb for a limb, leave us all blind, toothless and crippled?

Tribal warfare has been going on for two thousand years and has now been magnified globally. Can tribal warfare be brought to an end? Is patriotism and nationalism even relevant anymore, or is this another form of tribalism?

What are you and I as persons going to do about what is happening? Can we afford to let the deeper wound fester any longer?

Everyone is calling this an attack on America, but is it not a rift in our collective soul? Isn’t this an attack on civilization from without that is also from within?

When we have secured our safety once more and cared for the wounded, after the period of shock and mourning is over, it will be time for soul searching. I only hope that these questions are confronted with the deepest spiritual intent. None of us will feel safe again behind the shield of military might and stockpiled arsenals. There can be no safety until the root cause is faced. In this moment of shock I don’t think anyone of us has the answers. It is imperative that we pray and offer solace and help to each other. But if you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world.

Love,

Deepak

A Personal Reflection

On the fateful morning of September 11, 2001 America awoke to a nightmare beyond description. The unspeakable, the unthinkable had happened in our own backyard. The horrifying images of civilian aircrafts slamming into the twin towers of New York City’s World Trade Center in part of a massive terrorist attack will prove immortal in our national consciousness. We watched in disbelief as our largest symbols of wealth, capitalism and power collapsed into piles of dust.

My condolences and prayers go out to all the victims of this horrible tragedy, their families and friends, and all of the rescue workers and volunteers who donated their services in this time of tragedy. Although I was fortunate enough not to have any friends or relatives who were in Manhattan or Washington D.C. at the time of the attacks, the event still holds a personal significance for me.

A little over a month ago, I applied for a Financial Advisor position at Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley was one of the largest tenants of the World Trade Center, occupying approximately 50 floors of the first tower. The position I was interested in had a training program, part of which would take place at Morgan Stanley’s New York City National Sales Training Center. At the time, I was very interested in pursuing a career in finance and I was also very excited about working in the World Financial District in Lower Manhattan. Although my fate let me in another direction, I was horrified to hear that so much of the Morgan Stanley firm was affected.

As a human being and as an American, I was shocked, saddened and angered by the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. It is too early to consider the impact on anything but the families and friends of the all the individuals who fell victim to these violent attacks. The full fallout of these unbelievably horrific events will surely take time to sink in. While my thoughts and prayers are with all of those who lost loved ones and gave their time (and in many cases their lives as well) in rescue efforts, this event gives me certain pause.

As I watched the towers collapse, besides feeling shocked I thought “What if……What if”…

Reason Wilken

Random thoughts…

• I have to imagine that Israel has been given the green light to deal with the Palestinians any way they see fit. If the terrorists’ intentions were to get America out of the Middle East, it boomeranged on them.
• NATO invoked the mutual defense clause for the first time in its history. Article 5, the cornerstone of the alliance, says “an armed attack” against any of the allies in Europe or North America “shall be considered an attack against them all.” From what I can understand, this is a show of solidarity and doesn’t commit NATO member countries to military action. Nor does it require the United States to coordinate its military actions with the rest of NATO. High level view – the U.S. is definitely going to war and is using this as a basis for global support. Who are we going to war against? At this point, I think all terrorist organizations around the world are targets. It doesn’t matter if they were involved with the attack on America or not. They were implicitly involved by using and advocating terrorism.
• Tomorrow, Friday, September 14, is Red, White, & Blue day. Wear the colors proud. You can also make a donation to the Red Cross at Amazon.
• Anybody who doubted American’s patriotism was sorely mistaken. If you read our newspapers or watch our news telecasts, you would think that American’s don’t care about each other very much. If you looked at the percentage of the American population that votes, you would think we’re apathetic. American’s patriotism is always just beneath the surface. We don’t need to go around beating our chests to prove it.

On a personal note, there is an icy cold anger burning inside of me. Everytime I hear a victim’s story about losing someone close, it tears me up inside. I’m not one that gets swept up in feelings of hurt or loss – I get pissed off. Furious. And when I start thinking about the big picture, all of this combines to produce a cold burning fury. This is not about revenge. This is about defending any person in any country who is subject to these barbarians. Godspeed.

Containment Versus Retaliation

Caution! We need to move slowly and carefully. Yesterday’s events have left me and many others numb, bewildered, sad and angry.

It all seems like an opening Chapter of a Tom Clancy novel. And like Tom Clancy’s stories, it may only be the first act. We must be very careful.

Timothy Wilken

What is terrorism?

Is it limited to the World Trade Center and US Pentagon devastation and loss of life? Or is it everywhere? As in racism, and discrimination against people who are different than others.

I was stunned like everyone else from the images displayed that dark day. I felt totally powerless and helpless to do anything. Thoughts about our national security entered my mind, and I wondered just how secure it is. And then I heard others speak of the President in negative ways blaming him for the weakness in our defenses. Why?  And I realized that blaming isn’t the answer either. And that it is easier to blame rather than look at the larger picture to see what is really going on. And then I wondered, as I watched chaos and devastation on tv, what is going on?

How did we as humanity come to reach this point that unleashing terror is the best way for survival? And now in the Information Age, do we still need to kill people especially with weapons of destruction capable of killing millions of people?

John Szczepanik

What Have We Learned?

I think that what we should realize from yesterday is that nuclear weapons and biological weapons have been replaced by far cheaper and more modern weapons of mass destruction; in this case, the 40,000 per day of available commerial flights that cover the skys of our country. Who needs nuclear weapons or biological weapons. Two of the 40,000 flights wiped out more people in a few minutes than have ever been killed before, including the A-bombs that we dropped on Japan. So I differ; we don’t have to worry about or think about nuclear weapons and biological weapons. Wake up, the weapons of mass destruction are part of the fabric of our society, part of our everyday life. Poison the water, crash the planes, turn off the air conditioning; whatever. We have created the weapons ourselves and they are there to be used by whomever.

Billy Ladin

Another Response

In the chess game we’ve been engaged in the Middle East, it should be obvious that we have lost and we should turn our king on its side and leave the table.

In my view, it has been our support of Israel in the Palestinian-Israel dispute which resulted finally in a terrorist action which we cannot counter or even accommodate to. All we can do is step away from the dispute and our support of Israel, rein in our threat of force we use the world over — which will be a blessing to ourselves and the other nations so involved — and try to go back to normal times and the pursuit of our own business. Ranting and raving about “getting even with the perpetrators” or immersing ourselves even further in other people’s lives and/or their politics is suicidal, as we have seen. We have always had this vulnerability and this paradox in our use of power, and now we have paid the price in the loss of our nation’s tranquility. It promises to be a permanent loss.

Marvin Gregory

Some Early Responses

Dear Timothy,

As we transition from the Industrial Age Terrorism, war, violence and death has the potential to increase exponentially.  The acts of violence of Sept 11, 2001 as well as the acts of the past 20, years are just the beginning of what can become a hellish road warrior era that could kill hundreds of millions and billions.  We have lived in a win/lose era for all of the Industrial Age, however, technology today gives small numbers of individuals, on the losing end of win/lose great power to kill millions of people and bring our civilization to an end.

Yours truly,
Ross M. Donald

America at War

10:21 a ET
Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, causing one of two towers to collapse, and another aircraft hit the Pentagon in the worst terrorist attack in the nation’s history.

As an American whose father was decorated for his service in WWII and whose brother was decorated for service in Viet Nam, I understand the urge to pick up a large weapon and strike back at whoever has chosen to injure my country today. But I think that urge may not be compatible with the long term future of my country and my species…

Progress + warfare = human extinction.

How to Run Better Meetings, Groups, Clubs and Classes

by Win Wenger, Ph.D.

Have you ever had the experience of having something important to say but no opportunity to say it? How easy or hard is it for you to really hear and respond to what someone else is saying while you’re sitting there seething with your own thwarted urgent contribution?

The same goes for your participants. Every time you’ve done your job as chair or moderator so well that your people have gotten interested and involved, you inflict that perception-inhibiting frustration on your brighter members and in direct proportion to the degree that each has something important to contribute.

The same for your students. Every time you’ve done your job so well that your lecture starts to get interesting, you inflict that perception-inhibiting frustration on your brighter students and on your class generally.

In a corporation where time is money, how much time is wasted in board and staff meetings, either in lengthy discourse by the chair or CEO while expensive specialists and executives sit mute, or in pre-orchestrated speech presentations whose “discussion” outcome was determined long since, or in a chaos ended only when the chair or CEO goes out and either does things himself or by dictate, dismissing 99% of all that was said at the meeting? Or where everyone is saying only what the chair or CEO wanted to hear, providing no meaningful feedback or direction?

Here, then, just a few paragraphs below, is a summary of a very few, very simple provisions through which you can build interest and sustain tight topical focus while fostering dynamic expressive interaction. It wonderfully integrates and develops your group’s various perceptions and perceivers.

This highly efficient group, boardroom or classroom management process is also a way to discover and focus your people’s (your people’s!) very real genius.
