Vol 3 Chapter 105: patriot

& gt; If you want to list the events that have the greatest impact on the United States and the world in the first decade of the 21st century, it must be 911. On September 11, 2001, several terrorists chose the ironic day of the United States police call and hijacked it. Four passenger planes launched suicide attacks in several places. Except for United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into the suburbs of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, because of passenger resistance, the other three accurately attacked their targets: the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, DC.
This disaster has changed the lives of Americans. Apart from that, there have been a lot of inspection procedures since then, and some jokes about plane crashes or bombs have been immediately invited to other places. This is still For airports with good attitudes, it is also common for security to press people directly on the ground-of course, for a rich man like Adrian who has more than one private jet, this is not a problem at all.
In addition, various laws to strengthen government power have been continuously issued, and the United States has begun to get involved in the quagmire, which has indirectly caused the rise of the other side of the Pacific Ocean. In addition, after the severe pain and dissatisfaction with government policies, various conspiracy theories have emerged endlessly. Some blame the government for its slow response. Some people have assumed that the government had long received information but acquiesced to this. It is simply said that the government had created this terrorist incident.
In Adrian's view, it is most likely to be based on the information obtained in previous lives-mainly in this life-since even Wall Street predators can get more or less information, no need Too detailed, as long as you get the keywords, it is enough to deduce the truth, otherwise Uncle Anderson would not suggest that Adrian stay at home these days and not go, and even Victor called Canada to go on vacation, The godfather also left Claude with him to keep him with him for the past few days.
The US government has done this more than once. Maine, Pearl Harbor, clearing away the heavy fog, almost sure that they have received detailed information before the start, but chose to let the flow go and finally get an excuse to start the war and use the other side as a stepping stone-and even There is a lot of evidence that the Maine incident was planned by American politics.
There are enough interests for the consortium behind to promote, large arms sales, keeping the US dollar linked to oil, combating the rising euro, etc. The other side of the Pacific Ocean may be a suitable target after the Red Empire, but they too like to be turtles, no matter Any kind of provocation can be seen as invisible, and it is difficult to survive for a while, and now there is a chance to be delivered to the door. Why not?
However, it would be too stupid to say that 911 was self-directed by the US government. We must know that if the government planned such a terrorist event, it would be absolutely impossible in a few years. They have too many things to consider. And such things that need to be covered in all aspects and kept secret are easy to leak. Once leaked and there is still a strong evidence, then the foundation of the United States will be completely shaken. The Maine has this possibility, because it is done in Cuba, not the United States. If it is fully confirmed, then it is not a simple turbulence that can be described.
Do n’t say that big consorts do n’t care. This is the stupidest idea. For 1% of the people in the United States, it ’s the right thing to make rules and use them to the maximum extent. It ’s a matter of completely destroying the basis for making rules unless it ’s very Special circumstances cannot be achieved anyway, and 911 is not a special situation. Although it seems that a lot of evidence came out a few years later, the evidence is basically inferred from some inconsistent rhetoric. Either indirect evidence that is difficult to prove, or even direct evidence, let alone an incontestable evidence-this is the benefit of suspicion.
Of course, Adrian is not an absolute person. Although the possibility of the government's own planning is as small as 1%, it does not rule out that there are always a few sad people. However, there is no more more conclusive evidence before. He will only default to the second case.
The Twin Towers finally collapsed. Although it lasted for more than ten minutes than it used to, it was just as the collision was delayed to 8.50 but was not cancelled in the end. At the request of Adrian and Claude, the CNN reporter at the scene was able to take this shot from a distance, filming the scene of how the building collapsed and how to roll up the dust of the sky, and shot it clearly and broadcast it to the whole world.
This is so frightening and crashing. Even on the TV, you can clearly hear someone crying around the reporter, and the reporter who broadcasts it. It was also extremely choked at the time of the report, which was an unprecedented blow to American confidence. That night, throughout the United States, including Europe and parts of Asia, countless people lit candles in the square outdoors, praying for the dead.
Adrian did the same. He took a large number of people to light his candles on the sunset avenue. However, although he sympathized with the victims but showed no pity, it was simple. There were not many innocent people among them.
The cause and effect of the whole thing will not be said much. Although the extremists are crazy, why the extremists become extremists is an interesting question. As a citizen of this country, since all the benefits provided by this country have shared the dividends from the war, naturally they have to bear the costs that follow.
Of course, some people will definitely refute this, even if they enjoy the war dividend, but even if it is one-thousandth of a big capitalist like Adrian, it should be paid by these vampires first!
Yes! That's right! exactly! This is the truth at all! It's just ... when have you seen such a fair thing?
The strong always get more and pay less, just as the presidential election always wins all the winners. The so-called equivalent exchange pays as much as it gets, but it is an idealist's nightmare. Whether a society is stable or vibrant is more about whether the rules and morals of the game can prevent the strong from taking the last piece of bread from the weak, and whether the weak have enough efforts to be a rising channel for the strong within the rules, not democracy. And freedom.
Therefore, fairness is always relative, and Adrian, who has evolved into a large capital, uses this incident to build momentum for himself and makes good use of it.
In addition to what Claude told the day, he also launched a number of people to publicly condemn this terrorist act and support the government. He initiated many events in Hollywood about this event. Of course, these events are small in scale, either in interviews to condemn terrorist activities to comfort and bless the wounded, or to pray for the victims and rescue operations in the special program and mourn for the victims, held when all the people are in grief Large events are undoubtedly death-seeking.
Although his team didn't have much preparation, Adrian had been planning before that, otherwise the first day of the day wouldn't call CNN to catch up—although their reporter had already received the news and rushed there— —And demand unanimity to the end. He has one of the best teams in the United States, plus media resources, and it is not difficult to lead Hollywood activities. Other media groups do not have people like Adrian who have a huge influence in film production. So even if some are unwilling to be led by the media, there is still nothing they can do for the time being. Who will make them like the sky?
Then, after more than a week passed, the public's pain finally eased, some larger events with the theme of soothing and encouraging finally started again, and Adrian shot again.
There is no fixed place for this charity evening called "American: Tribute to the Heroes". This is a marathon evening in Los Angeles, New York, and London that is broadcast in turn by the four major television networks led by each cable TV station. , Celebrities from all over the world participated, and even those who couldn't attend the scene gave speeches in various ways.
All the scenes were so solemn. The candles were lit all around, and the stars who appeared in front of the camera had heavy expressions. In addition to giving some touching speeches, they recited some poems full of hope. Although the atmosphere was serious but dull, fortunately, there was a singing session.
This night is destined to be a glorious moment for singers, whether Madonna or Maria? Kelly or Jennifer Lopez, everyone is extremely involved in singing this song full of mourning and hope, trying to dress themselves up as The encouragement and comfort of the families that were hurt in this disaster. This works really well. It won a lot of applause both on the spot and throughout the United States, until Britney and Christina played.
"WhenIamwnand, ohmyul, weary ..." When Christina sang the first sentence, a distinctive flavor suddenly emerged.
With a little sorrow, but more is encouragement, talk and gratitude, very gentle listening, coupled with Christina's good singing skills. As if reaching the heart of a person.
"Usemeup, Icanstandonns ..." When Britney began to reconcile, the emotion suddenly became high. The kind of gratitude and the flavor of inspiration brought the whole song to another level.
Only 20 days have passed before and after. Most singers sing old songs with a theme that is closer to the current atmosphere. They have only modified some lyrics and re-arranged at most. Although a few of them wrote new songs for 911, they were slightly tighter in time. The quality cannot be considered very high, so when this song came out, it immediately caught most of the attention. In addition, two super popular idols have slightly applied pink daisies, a simple white dress, which is in line with the melody of this song. There was originally a low-talking scene, and as the song progressed, they could not help but hold their breath to listen to the sound.
"USEMEUP", this is the name of this song, this song should have been released next year, and received great praise caused countless people to cover, and eventually became one of the 911 commemorative songs. Although there are many commemorative songs about 911, this one is the most widely known and most successful-it has not been released in the United States, but has been counted on demand many times, showing its popularity.
There is no doubt that this is Adrian's handwriting. Since we want to take advantage of this incident, we must make full use of the transparency. Not only did Norton and others modify the lyrics, but also re-written the script to make the entire song more "choir-like." Some, now even arranged a chorus of Christina and Britney. In fact, if it wasn't for Christina's singing skills, he would definitely let Britney sing. But that's okay. About his support for Britney Spears and the changes of several top executives of MTV had spread throughout the music circle before 911, but Christina did not show much strangeness, which made Adrian very satisfied. , Allowing such arrangements to highlight her.
The topic returns to this song. Unlike the past, after finding Norton to basically complete the song and lyrics of this song, he did not hesitate to sign his name in the column of the songwriter, only But behind Norton and others. At the same time, he prepared Norton. The song will be released as a single after Christina and Britney sing at the funeral party.
It is conceivable that if this song resonates on a large scale, what kind of wave will be triggered by then.
But he prepared more than that, signing his name on the song was just a trail, more tonight tonight ...
"Even after about ten days have passed, my mood is still heavy, and those terrifying and painful scenes continue to fly in front of me." Standing in a circle of candlelight on the stage, he walked the stage to make this speech. The solemnity of Drian was no different from the others. "I don't want to say too much. No amount of words can express one millionth of the pain of a broken family. There is only one thing I can do."
Here he made a long pause: "Given some of the things that have happened in the past few days, I will take out $ 100 million in my own name and set up a brand new foundation! This foundation will be used exclusively to help in The families and all the heroes killed in this disaster, and I will invite Congress to participate, and every expense will be recorded and made public. Make this fund more transparent! "
After hearing this sentence, everyone at the scene was shocked. After the disaster, the American people who felt empathy have generously donated money. So far, various charitable funds and the Red Cross Society have received donations, plus donations from celebrities participating this evening. Almost $ 400 million has been raised in ten days. Who knew that Adrian had donated almost a quarter of this money in one go? This would probably be the largest personal donation, really ... a big deal!
And at this moment, Adrian is still making his final statement impassionedly: "We have not been beaten, we still stand on this land in pain! There are the most tenacious, noblest and greatest people here, and we are bound to rebuild Our home! God bless us, God bless America! "
Very exciting words, especially with his excited expression. No matter how calm people are, it's inevitable that, together with the first 100 million donations, the enthusiastic applause is not only on the scene, but also many people who are watching programs on the large-scale outdoor screens in the square are applauding.
"We need such a patriot!" The newspaper the next day published such a headline.
Yes, patriots. A person who can contact celebrities to condemn the terrorist attack for the first time, can take the lead in organizing events such as "American: Tribute to the Heroes" to mourn the victims and appease the people, and can set up a US $ 100 million one time dedicated to the Del family The people of the charity foundation can't be overstated as patriots.
This is exactly the effect that Adrian wants. Although he is often low-key, he should definitely be unambiguous when it is high-profile, such as expressing himself fully in this incident. In any case, he always has one foot on the front desk, and unless he does n’t bother about filmmaking at all, he must show himself, not to mention he never even thought about taking this foot back, his The goal is the entire Hollywood.
No matter what he wants to do, no matter what problems he has, such as already having four or five children, taking this opportunity to put on a coat of patriots for himself is definitely a good thing and not harmful. .
100 million US dollars is nothing. By taking the opportunity to short the US stock market this time, he has made a net profit of 1 billion. If he is not worried, he can even make billions as much as last time. The number of 1 billion is just right. There are many people who have made more than him in the stock market. They will naturally attract the attention. It is not wrong to set up a tenth of a charity party.
In addition, the American Red Cross Society is also a mess. UU reads www.uukanshu.com. The day before the show "American: Tribute to the Heroes", the Red Cross Society broke a scandal. The funds raised were not used for the victims The family was partially diverted to other uses. According to the person in charge of the Red Cross Association, this part of the money is to cope with possible terrorist incidents in the future. Of course, although the American people are not smart, they are not stupid enough to do so.
That's why Adrian announced at the party that for some reason a new charitable foundation will be established-there is no doubt that this news was deliberately made by people, and from the beginning he was staring at the Red Cross Society. Accounts in and out. The Red Cross Society of any country is not clean. The difference is only whether the hands and feet are clean. Without Adrian, they dare to sit in the hands of this kind of event that shocked the United States, and sooner or later they will burst out.
In this way, as long as he finds a way to expand the influence of the foundation by the Red Cross Society, Adrian's reputation will be higher and better. Of course, almost 99% of people would not know that this money came from shorting the stock market and it was theirs. This is normal, and when Buffett is doing charity, he will never mention the people who believed him to be pitted. This method is very common in the United States.
As for the Foundation's other purpose of tax avoidance, there is no need to worry. There are other methods. Focusing on making this transparent and fair, the Patriot coat will be more secure. (To be continued ...)
