In the 3rd quarter of 2011, on August 5, the credit-rating agency Standard & Poor's "downgraded" the credit rating of US government bond for the first time in the country's history. Moody's and Fitch, however, have retained America's credit rating at AAA. But the subtle symbolism is there.
[Mercury: God of Commerce and Medicine]
And keeping the symbolism the same, the American dollar sign is likely the caduceus, though often said to evolve from the Mexican or Spanish P for pesos, piastres or pieces of 8.
The sign is attested in business correspondence between British North America and Mexico in the 1770s, as referring to the Spanish-Mexican peso. The piastre was known as "Spanish dollar" in British North America and it was adopted as U.S. currency in 1785, together with the term "dollar" and the $ sign.
The sign's ultimate origins are not certain although it is widely accepted that it comes from the Spanish coat of arms, which carries the two Pillars of Hercules and the motto Plus Ultra in the shape of an "S".

September 17, 2011 – Current,
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is a protest movement which began in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district, initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters. The protests are against social and economic inequality, high unemployment, greed, as well as corruption, and the undue influence of corporations—particularly from the financial services sector—on government. The protesters' slogan We are the 99% refers to the growing income and wealth inequality in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. The protests in New York City have sparked similar Occupy protests and movements around the world.
They sought to combine the symbolic location of the 2011 protests in Tahrir Square with the consensus decision making of the 2011 Spanish protests.

Will Rodman is a scientist at biotechnology company Gen-Sys who has been trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease and is testing a new gene therapy drug on chimpanzees. The drug, a modified virus, mutates the chimpanzees, giving them a human level of intelligence. A female chimp who believes her baby is being threatened goes on a rampage and is shot by security guards. Will's boss Steven Jacobs subsequently orders chimp handler Robert Franklin to euthanize the remaining test chimpanzees. Franklin cannot bring himself to kill the baby chimp and instead gives him to Will, who takes him home to raise. Will's father Charles , who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, names the baby chimp "Caesar." Caesar has inherited his mother's high intelligence and develops quickly.

Conclusion
September 11, 2001, was the latest and greatest global example of the hidden hand at work in the world. 10 years later a few months before the anniversary, the man the US government blames responsible for the attacks on New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C, Osama Bin Laden was Found and Killed on May 1st, 2011. May 1st is "May Day".
----
Mayday is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice procedure radio communications. It derives from the French venez m'aider, meaning "come help me".
----
just like 9/11 is 911.
----
Many countries' public telephone networks have a single emergency telephone number, that allows a caller to contact local emergency services for assistance. The GSM standard emergency number it is now a well known emergency number across the globe today alongside 911 and 999.
----
I can't believe Osama a CIA born operative was the sol man responsible for September 11, also given the fact that the world's most wanted man is caught right before the anniversary, and then the "Taliban" got revenge on a Seal Team 6 helicopter a few months later. It seems to Hollywood and scripted.
The announced a few months later again is the end of the Iraq war coming. Making everything seem neat and perfect as America continues shouting freedom and victory while it continues to be anything but free.
And when the "One World Trade Center" is finished, its just the cherry on top.
