This is a speculative piece that can't fully make it's mind up. It sits on the fence to some degree between spotting the synchronicities (in the synchromystic tradition) present in the Kubrick film "2001: A Space Odyssey," Sirius the Dog Star, the attacks of 9/11 and the site at Ground Zero, New York; and a James Shelby Downard/Michael A. Hoffman II style occult ritual psychodrama forensic investigation of the seemingly random arcane significances & sigils present in the timeframe some nine months prior to the attacks and then afterwards.
Let's just say I think that both scenarios can operate simultaneously. With the preamble out of the way here we go:
This idea has been widely and comprehensively covered through many areas of the alternative media field, but I just wanted to throw my two cents in. For what it's worth. I've liberally used concepts, theories, and connections much expanded upon by Chris Knowles of the Secret Sun Blogspot, and the ideas of Michael A. Hoffman II & James Shelby Downard. I'm trying to square the approaches and worldviews of diametrically opposed parties here, but there is much crossover between them. I recently went through a period where I rejected the ides of Hoffman & Downard but I've made an about turn on that. Revelation of the Method is right in our face in these serious times.
A lot of the information used here comes from the following articles from Chris Knowles:
Starway to Sirius: Death and Restoration - Part 1
Starway to Sirius: Death and Restoration - Part 2
Also look into the books of Michael A. Hoffman II for some of the following information, particularly "Secret Societies & Psychological Warfare" & James Shelby Downard's "King-Kill 33" for where I'm coming from for the occult ritual psychodrama angle.
The monolith as semiotic marker for the New Age
On New Year's Eve in the year 2000, a nine foot tall representation of the monolith seen in the Stanley Kubrick film "2001: A Space Oddyssey" suddenly apeared in Magnuson Park, Seattle, Washington.
It stayed there until the 4th of January 2001. Mainstream reports of this were generally lighthearted, and mentions of it from local law enforcement were along these lines:
"Local press reports quote park visitors joking about "intelligence increasing by the moment" with the presence of the monolith, a clear reference to the film."
It stayed there for four days and then just as covertly as it appeared, vanished. Rumour was that it had been an unknown local artist who placed it there and removed it. The park is well known for exhibitions of public art, such as the sound garden made famous by the Seattle band of the same name. A symbolic and creative tribute to the film then, as well as to create a frission amongst the public. People were actually considering the possibility that a greater force was at work here and that it had appeared as the monolith did in the film. A semiotic marker from the gods, to punctuate a turning point in mankind's journey.
The Monolith that appeared in Magnuson Park, Seattle, late on New Year's Eve, 2000:

Perhaps they were not wrong about the significance of the monolith's appearance.
254 days after the monolith appeared the infamous September 11th attacks occurred bringing down the World Trade Center Twin Towers.
Boaz and Jachin or Jachin and Boaz? From Wikipedia:
"Some variants of the Tarot card the High Priestess depict Boaz and Jachin in reverse representing an anti-temple or rejection of Solomon's religion.
More on Jachin and Boaz here: Mystae.com - Jachin and Boaz
Was the nine-foot tall monolith that foreshadowed the tragedy 254 days later (2+5+4=11) an arcane symbolic key to a 9/11 mega ritual? A foreshadowing from the grimoire of in the hands of the shadowy concerns Michael A. Hoffman II calls the Cryptocracy?
Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2001 especially the film adaption by Stanley Kubrick are either a case of the artist dipping into the dark creative force and becoming prognosticators of a kind, or we have life imitating art.
Or a thing of black, massive hubris and otherworldly power.

The Hilton Millenium Hotel, directly adjacent to Ground Zero, New York
The Hilton Millenium Hotel, which opened in September 1992, was one of the feature buildings around ground zero that have now been opened up to notice. It was specifically built to the resemble the Kubrick monolith. From the Hilton Family New York website:
"The hotel is a high-rise black glass building which pays homage to Arthur C. Clarke's vision of the Monolith in '2001: A Space Odyssey'"
With the levelling of the buildings at the former World Trade Center site more buildings have come into focus, with a very interesting alignment.
The Hilton corporation logo is very suggestive of the Twin Towers with swirl (portal?) of energy in the center forming the letter "H":

Considering many theories of 9/11 as a ritualistic event, the monolith as a motif for various theories as to what it represents: stargate portal to the other existences, semitiotic marker for the Cryptocracy who see themselves evolving to be gods, the building or tearing down of the figurative edifice of Solomon's Temple (Boaz & Jachin, or Jachin & Boaz?), pre-cursor to an engineered or real contact event, and many more. Who knows?
The huge similarities between the look of the Film 2001 and the area in & around Ground Zero are strong, no matter what I may think. Interesting to note even if they are meaningless.
But maybe not meaningless if you consider the introduction of the references to Sirius. Much of the following information and suggested connections comes from The Secret Sun Blogspot, but in total this is my own spin.

A symbol of the New Age rising out of the ashes? Bathed in the glow of the winter sun (gardens)? The Magnuson Park monolith appeared in the dead of winter...

Is the Millenium Hotel the northeast cornerstone of the building of a figurative Solomon's Temple? As it is situated on the U.S. map?
I have also included the Google Earth screen shot with the measurement in nautical miles as the crow flies from Magnuson Park, Seattle, to the Millenium Hotel, New York. I was hoping beforehand that it would amount to 2001 nautical miles, but no cigar. It came in 85 miles out.
2086 nautical miles. But if I was to really play with numbers we could have 2086 minus 2001 = 85.
8 + 5 = 13. Unlucky for some. About 2,937 people on that tragic day...
But that is stretching things a bit I guess.

Still it has an interesting Masonic slant about travelling to the East - that is where the work always goes. Is the map of America here regarded as a gargantuan grimoire, signed masonic west to east?
Much speculation and joining the dots here, but bear with me.
The magnuson Park monolith appeared not long after the winter solstice, marking the death of the sun (god), the 9/11 attacks occurred in September; still prime Sirius Dog Days. With so much sirius encoding in the surrounding area, seemingly intended to be revealed once the much bigger Twin Towers were out of the way.
Also, it seems that there is another possible foreshadowing to come as encoded in the followup film 2010. Liberally applying some very basic numerology here, the three main suspect buildings in the 9/11 psychodrama, WTC nos. 1, 2, and & 7 add to 10. The number of completion, also referring to binary code, and the union of opposites.
The one equalling the masculine, the lingham.
The zero equalling the feminine, the yoni.
In the the film and book 2010, the crew of the new mission vessel are sent to discover what happened to the ship Discovery from the first failed mission. They discover the ship in a decaying orbit around the main moon of Jupiter Io. Interesting semiotics with a mind to associate the name with the number 10, the perfect number.
From page 245 of Ernest Busenbark's "Symbols, Sex, and the Stars":
10:- Completes the symbolic alphabet of numbers and denotes completeness and finality. Pythagoras considered it "the perfect number". It represents the deity, man, and the universe because it contains the sum of the 4 prime numbers, includes all mathematical and musical proportions and defines the system of the world. The Decad is called both heaven. and the world because the former includes the latter. It was used by Pythagoreans to denote things concerning age, power, faith, and neces sity and was considered unwearied because it was tireless.The Pythagoreans divided the heavenly bodies into 10 orders.
The Iota, "Jot" or Yod is the 10th letter in the Hebrew alphabet and is sometimes used as a symbol of Jahveh. It is the first letter of the name of Jesus, therefore the num ber and letter were his sacred symbols.The symbolic use of this letter may be observed in the Apostolic Constitution (Ante-Nicene Lib) : "Thou hast known the Decade and bast believed in the Iota, the first letter of the name of Jesus". The letter X, which stands for Christ, represents, in the Greek alphabet, the number 600, the number of years in the reign of each Avatar or Savior in India.
Interestingly X also "marks the spot." WTC 1, 2, & 7 (10/Io) were cleared representing completion of a task, birth of the New World Order.
From Wikipedia on Iota:
Iota (uppercase Ι, lowercase ι; Greek: Ιώτα [jɒta] Yota) is the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 10. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Yodh (). Letters that arose from Iota include the Roman I and J and the Cyrillic І (І, і), Yi (Ї, ї), Je (Ј, ј), and iotified letters (e.g. Yu (Ю, ю)).
With the roles of the male and female attributed traditionally to the sun and moon respectively the following picture from the film 2001 is highly suggestive:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The conjunction of the sun & moon, male and female, lingham & yoni, 1 & 0, is known too as the divine conjunction. The completion of a great work. The birth of a new age. One that cuts no slack with the common herd.
