URGENT REQUEST
Daniel Spillane
410 E Denny Way #229
Seattle, WA 98122
[phone]

Mr. Andrew Card, Chief of Staff
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

October 17th, 2004

Dear Mr. Card:

My name is Daniel Spillane, and I am a resident of Seattle, Washington. I am contacting you with an urgent request for information, under the Freedom of Information Act, to support a unique public interest study I am working on, which goes beyond methodology so far employed in both the September 11th Commission report and in media reports.

1) Please send me a daily accounting of the following, for each day in the period from July 1st 2001 through September 10th 2001:

A tally, broken down by date occurrence, of the total number of daily activities generated, processed, and forwarded by White House staff, both internally and externally, concerning the possibility of terrorist attacks against the United States, and plans to deal with such, including potential business or financial hedges, transactions, or opportunities related to attacks or subsequent military deployment.

2) Please account for and identify EXPLICITLY (by date and contact names) all activities in the period from July 1st 2001 through September 10th 2001, which lead to the September 10th 2001 award of a new business contract to Halliburton Corporation “to Reduce Threat of Weapons Of Mass Destruction.”

3) Please account for and identify EXPLICITLY (by date and contact names) all activities directly or indirectly related to (1) or (2) above, AND which were released to associates or contacts of White House staff, such as Admiral William A. Owens, Admiral John M. Poindexter and/or assignees of DARPA SB012-012 “Electronic Market-Based Decision Support,” or anyone else in the business or financial community, for the July 1st 2001 through September 10th 2001 period.

For purposes of the above, “activities” are defined as written, electronic, or spoken communications (including meetings). Each original instance of such activities, as well as any repeats or forwards of original instances, counts as one towards the daily accounting tally.

Because only a tally and general accounting are required by me in order to satisfy this request (rather than providing actual content of messages), it is not necessary to supply sensitive intelligence information that would compromise national security interests, and would otherwise delay or interfere with this request for information.

I require a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest. I ask that my request receive expedited processing because of the need for urgency, so as to inform the public concerning suspicious and/or criminal financial activities hitherto unknown to the public.

Please respond with this information before the end of October 2004 and contact me immediately via confirmed phone call as you send your reply; I am confident much of the needed material is already assembled and available to you due to the previous queries of the September 11th Commission. You can also trust I will make good use of this information; I have an established track record of contributing significantly to public understanding of activities of government--especially complex activities. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,



Daniel B Spillane

White House Pressed on Sept 11th Details
- New Study Contradicts Bush, Rice Claims

(SEATTLE) 10/18/04 - In a disturbing development, the White House is now the subject of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) query, seeking detailed information related to activities within the Bush administration in the days before the September 11th attacks.

The call for more details comes after an October 2004 study which outlines dramatic moves across a broad set of financial and business indicators, immediately prior to the September 11th 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centers-and after an August 6th 2001 warning memo was presented at the White House.

President Bush and Condoleezza Rice have repeatedly stated that the August 6th memo was historical in nature, and that there was no elevation of alert between August 6th 2001 and September 11th. However, the view presented by the October 2004 study directly contradicts those claims, since it points to high-level business and financial actions being taken by a select few, in the days immediately before the attack, despite the fact that no public warning was issued.

White House Memo Leads to Sept. 11th Money Trail By Dan Spillane and Audrey Mantey, The Liberty Whistle
-At least five normally independent indicators moved in sync after Bush warned
-On Sept. 10th, instead of US citizens getting a warning, Halliburton got a contract

(10/6 UPDATE includes new Must see! MONEY TRAIL TO WHITE HOUSE GRAPHIC; click HERE .)

(SEATTLE) 09/30/04 - A series of new findings brings into doubt Bush Administration claims regarding September 11th, and shows the work of the 9-11 Commission is incomplete. According to what Bush told the public, and as documented in the 9-11 report, an August 6th 2001 memo delivered to the White House warned of imminent attacks (“Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US”)--but was described as “historical in nature,” and thus was essentially ignored by the White House. (1) Therefore, as far as the public knows, no actions were taken based on the memo.

It’s not as if the US hasn’t been looking for unusual pre-9-11 actions. In fact, the official 9-11 report examined stock trading before the attacks, and concluded with some degree of confidence that there weren’t profits taken based on information before the attacks. Unfortunately, the 9-11 report provides no details on how such analysis was done--and importantly, the report makes no mention of analyzing events in terms of the August 6th White House memo. In short, the 9-11 commission tried to find “needles in haystacks.”

Indeed, then it should be of no surprise that a comparison of trading specifically before and after August 6th, in terms of a number of normally independent indicators reveals more information, and illustrates an interesting and hitherto undiscovered convergence around the August 6th date. Incredibly, in this light, a major shift is visible in both market indicators, and in business announcements subsequent to the supposedly “ignored” warning memo.

Take for example, the stock of Halliburton Corporation, known so well for its association with US Vice President Dick Cheney. It plummeted on high volume immediately after the memo--previously having closely followed its own sector up until August 6th. Moreover, this divergence was punctuated not only by the date of August 6th, but was also underscored by a September 10th 2001 contract award to Halliburton. Astonishingly, on September 10th, 2001, the news read “Halliburton Unit Picked to Participate in Program to Reduce Threat of Weapons Of Mass Destruction.” (Source: Halliburton)

But the September 11th “clairvoyance” didn’t stop at Halliburton. After the memo, signs began bleeding into the stock market at large. The stock market volatility index (the “VIX”), a measure of market fear, suddenly shot up after the August 6th memo. By September 10th 2001, the VIX index sharply spiked up forty-five percent--to a level in line with the Asian financial crisis. Yet, in the Asian crisis case, news of disaster was already out in the open, which contrasts sharply with environment of September 10th, 2001--when bad news wasn’t out. Remarkably, then, it’s fair to conclude certain stock market investors knew a crisis was going to happen--the day before. In effect, the VIX, while normally independent of Halliburton stock, suddenly moved in lockstep with Halliburton.

Next, in line with the spike in the VIX, yet another indicator foretold September 11th. The put/call stock options ratio--a measure of sophisticated investors betting on a market fall--peaked twice, to a level over one. First, the ratio peaked for the very options transition period immediately after the White House memo, and before September 11th (which crested on August 17th) and next, it peaked on September 10th, the day before the strike. Once again, the put/call ratio moves correspond with Halliburton steps and the August 6th and September 10th dates. Finally, at least one close associate of Mr. Cheney made a business move on September 10th.

What’s incredible is how many signs point to the fact that the White House knew about September 11th in advance, and leaked. Clearly, not one but at least five pieces of evidence exist. The evidence of the unusual stock pattern of Halliburton after the White House warning memo, the special advance timing of the Halliburton WMD contract, the VIX and put/call indicators, and more, showed the White House leaked the September 11th warning to a select few. But alas, no real actions were taken to defend the American people. No, instead, actions were taken to defend Halliburton stockholders and a select few, and further, to enhance their profits.

The simplified charts below show how Halliburton stock turned on high volume when the memo hit the White House; the memo is illustrated by the line bisecting the graphs.
