Each time I do research on 9/11 I come up with some new interesting information.
Here are some tidbits from my last research:
> asbestos had been used throughout the towers – EPA had issued several waivers allowing asbestos cleanup to be delayed but were increasing the pressure for the asbestos to be removed – estimates for cleanup were in the $1 billion range and none of the insurance companies covering the towers were willing to pay for the cleanup
> the towers were transferred from the New York Port Authority to private ownership (Larry Silversteen) six weeks prior to 9/11 – the towers had become a white elephant for the Port Authority – lots of vacancies and huge expense to provide utilities for the towers – even oxygen had to be provided because the towers were airtight – ie, Port Authority was losing lots of money on the towers and the losses were getting worse as vacancies increased
> Silversteen reworked the insurance policies for the WTC complex to explicitly provide coverage for acts of terrorism
> Silversteen obtained explicit rights to rebuild the WTC complex before completing the leases
> George Bush’s brother was president of the company that provided security for the WTC complex and Dulles airport where one of the aircraft was hijacked – his cousin was CEO of the same company
Other details I have come across in the past:
> there were bomb-sniffing dogs present in the towers 24/7 until two weeks prior to 9/11
> workers in the towers testify that there were unexplained power outages and building evacuations during the two weeks prior to 9/11
> workers in the towers testify that large sections of the towers (whole floors) were vacant and that construction noise could be heard on some of these floors in the weeks prior to 9/11
> legal files for prosecuting the Enron related trials were stored in WTC 7 along with many other files for sensitive SEC investigations
Perhaps my cynical nature and high level of skepticism make me susceptible to conspiracy theories but I believe the story our government is telling us about 9/11 is mostly fabrication.
There are many unexplained questions about how the two towers collapsed and the rarely mentioned collapse of WTC 7.
There are also many coincidental facts that support the idea that 9/11 was done for financial gain. Without considering whether it was a conspiracy or not, look at these aspects of 9/11: it destroyed two asbestos ridden buildings that were losing money because nobody wanted to rent space in them anymore – it destroyed legal files being used to prosecute Enron trials and other trials involving Wall Street bigshots – Silversteen gained several billion dollars in insurance payouts – Silversteen got the right to rebuild the WTC complex.
The biggest benefit from 9/11 went to the neo-cons who used it as a reason to launch the ‘forever war on terror’. They have continued to point to 9/11 as they have destroyed the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, dropped habeas corpus, passed Patriot Acts I & II, legalized the use of terror against anyone deemed an ‘unlawful combatant’ and taken many other actions which have reduced the freedom of us, the American citizens.
If you have a hard time believing that the government would do something like 9/11 to its own people, I suggest that you do some research on ‘false flag’ events – just Google on the term and check out some of the links. Watch for these in particular: Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, USS Liberty.
