Bush Sr., 9/11, and the Brady Bonds: How $240 Billion in Fraud Was Covered Up? A Financial Crime Hidden in Plain Sight. Explore the hidden financial scandal behind 9/11. Did $240 billion in fraudulent Brady Bonds, tied to Bush Sr., vanish with Cantor Fitzgerald in the Twin Towers? Whistleblowers allege cover-ups, CIA black ops, and the murder of a U.S. colonel.

The Day Before Everything Changed
September 11, 2001 is remembered for collapsing towers and lives lost. But hidden beneath the smoke and dust lies another story—one less about terror cells and more about banking cells. According to leaked intelligence files, whistleblower testimony, and buried financial documents, $240 billion in fraudulent Brady Bonds—crafted in 1991 under George H. W. Bush—were scheduled to come due on September 12, 2001.

The records of these bonds, allegedly underwritten and held by Cantor Fitzgerald, went up in flames when the firm’s offices on floors 101–105 of the North Tower were obliterated. Coincidence? Or was 9/11 not just a terrorist attack, but also the greatest financial cover-up in modern history?

The Birth of the Brady Bond Fraud
In 1991, ten-year Brady Bonds—named after Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady—were created as part of Bush Sr.’s economic policy. On paper, they were a way to stabilize foreign debt markets. Behind the curtain, whistleblowers allege, counterfeit debt instruments were forged using unauthorized collateral, faked signatures, and even stolen gold bullion.

The scheme’s fingerprints include former Secretary of State James Baker III and Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan. Their alleged goal: launder billions through CIA-linked accounts, recycle narcotics money, and line the coffers of what insiders call “White House crime families.”

A Colonel Who Knew Too Much
The story turns bloody with Colonel Russell Hermann, a decorated military officer tasked with overseeing CIA bank accounts. According to his widow, V. K. Durham, Hermann discovered the fraudulent use of her family trust as collateral in these transactions.

When he refused to sign off, he was tortured—burned, beaten, poisoned—and ultimately killed in 1994. Three days before his death, Durham says, Bush Sr., Greenspan, and Oliver North visited Hermann in his hospital room, pressuring him to legitimize the illicit accounts. He refused, allegedly flinging a handful of excrement at Bush Sr. with the words, “Go to hell.” Days later, he was dead.

The Perfect Disguise: 9/11
Fast forward ten years. Those very Brady Bonds matured on September 12, 2001. Payment would have exposed trillions in stolen U.S. Treasury funds and the global network that siphoned them. Instead, Cantor Fitzgerald—the firm holding the records—was wiped out in the North Tower attacks, along with 658 employees.

Meanwhile, at the Pentagon, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI)—where investigators were probing the same financial fraud—was also destroyed in the strike. Key files and personnel vanished in fire and rubble. Two targets. Same day. Same evidence trail.

Boxes of Cash and Black Ops
Leaked memos reveal that just weeks after 9/11, crates of U.S. currency were moved out of the Philippines and funneled into European and American accounts tied to Bush family operatives. Former Somalian Ambassador to Switzerland Leo Wanta wrote directly to Vice President Dick Cheney, warning that “the family wants their boxes”—a cryptic reference to illicit funds moved for covert purposes.

Why was Cheney in the loop? And why did neither he nor Condoleezza Rice nor George W. Bush halt the transactions?

Operation Code Angel
Suppressed footage of the Twin Towers collapsing, according to whistleblowers, points to controlled demolition. Intelligence insiders claim the operation was code-named “Code Angel” (Tripod II)—a Department of Justice “war game” exercise involving FEMA and reportedly overseen by New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, Rudolph Giuliani’s right-hand man.

If true, 9/11 wasn’t just a terrorist strike but a dual-purpose operation: one to terrify a nation into endless war, and another to erase the paper trail of financial terrorism.

Blackmail, Pedophilia, and Congressional Silence
The exposé doesn’t stop at money. Insiders allege that Operation Brownstone—a CIA-led pedophilia ring—was used to compromise congressmen and judges, ensuring silence. Judges tossed out FBI translator Sibel Edmonds’ testimony linking top U.S. politicians to drug money laundering and terror finance. Congressional aides admitted they were ordered “from the top” not to investigate V. K. Durham’s evidence.

In the words of Durham: “They strung [Russell Hermann] up on meat hooks. They’ll do it again to any intelligence guys walking around now if they don’t stop these criminals.”

A Pattern of Crimes
From Iran-Contra to the Savings & Loan scandal, from Mena, Arkansas drug drops to 9/11, the pattern is chilling. Whistleblowers like Stewart Webb point to American International Group (AIG), Goldman Sachs, and Greenberg-Traurig law firm as laundering channels for narcotics money and black-ops funding.

The same networks, they claim, financed both 9/11 and other black-flag operations—while Congress and the courts looked the other way.

Who Will Guard the Guards?
The accusations are staggering: that 9/11 doubled as a financial cover-up, erasing the Bush family’s obligations on billions in counterfeit bonds; that a decorated colonel was murdered for knowing too much; and that America’s own institutions obstructed justice to protect insiders.

As Tom Flocco wrote: “Who will guard the guards?” Until ordinary citizens demand answers—encircling not just the White House but the halls of Congress with metaphorical handcuffs—the question remains unanswered.
