Huh.
So the chronolgoy is that Spitzer did something to help Silverstein get the 4.5 billion in 2004.
Spitezer was taken down in 2008.
I seem to recall that he was after someone or something big at the time.
Is the implication that Silverstein had soemthing on Spitzer already in 2004?
Or that Spitzer was just another member of the club of Jews in high places who stick together?
I always had a high opionion of Spitzer. He seemed to be one of the good guys on the rise, and I thought (and read others’ specuflations) that he was taken out to neuter him because he was making life uncomfortable for someone. But I cannot recall those details.
Of course if he *did* know antyhing about WT7 (because of helping Silverstein get that money from the insurance cos.) that would compromise Silverstein, the question would be why they waited until 2008 . . .
Katherine
Does he identify the building in the video?
Silverstein’s words are so cut and spliced that it’s hard telling what he is actually talking about.
“EXPLAIN THIS – Plans to Rebuild WTC-7 Over 1 Year Before It’s Destruction”
OK, “explain this” with a transcript. I learned my lesson with the hyped trump campaign advert…
Regarding the video, I am not sure if it is a deep fake or hoax. Why did it take until 2019 to come forward with this information if it were filmed many years ago? However, there are facts about Silverstein that I take for granted:
1. He leased the WTC complex at bargain cost because the NYC port authority knew that the buildings contained large amounts of asbestos and other problematic fire-proofing. Hence, the buildings were slanted for costly remediation work in the order of 100 million USD per building.
2. He immediately insured the complex at 3.5 billion USD, more than its construction cost, against damage including damage due to a terrorist attack. He also made sure that he could perform/direct any potential reconstruction if the buildings were destroyed.
3. He did not show up at the scheduled meeting in the WTC offices on 9/11. Instead he brought forward a lame excuse.
4. He ordered the firemen out of WTC 7 and/or ordered the building be demolished. His specifically said “pull it” (supposedly the building) instead of “pull them” (as I would expect to get the firemen withdrawn).
5. Immediately after the attacks, Silverstein claimed the insurance amount twice by insisting on two terrorist attacks. The court settled the amount finally to 4.5 billion USD. If his argument would hold in all insurance claims, every person finding his/her insured home on fire should throw gazoline on it and claim the insurance amount twice.
In summary, Larry Silverstein made a billion or two by avoiding asbestos remediation and by claiming damage insurance at unsubstantiated amounts. This smells like a hefty insurance fraud.
Thanks for the clear rundown.
If Eliot Spitzer helped him achieve his goal of defrauding insurance companies, then Spitzer is either not the white knight I sort of thought he was, or Silverstein had something on him.
I wonder whether it is possible to verify Silverstein’s claim that Spitzer helped him get the money, and in what way. Or have Silverstein’s utterances been sliced and diced electronically to make it look as though he said this?
One thing I find kind of weird is S’s constant jaw working as if he were chewing something.
Is this a tic of Silverstein’s, or could this indicate fiddling with the video?
Katherine
Due to his disrespectful chewing I do not take this video for real before additional evidence is presented. Bosses sometimes allow themselves behaviors that violate social norms, but if chewing was a tic, his former employees should know.
Regardless, there are enough indications that Silverstein accounted for the potential destruction of the WTC before leasing it and that he was hellbent on fully benefiting of any such occasion.
Considering in addition that the Jewish community was warned early on 9/11 to stay clear from lower Manhattan, I assume Silverstein got specific insider information, maybe years ahead.
“Regardless, there are enough indications that Silverstein accounted for the potential destruction of the WTC before leasing it and that he was hellbent on fully benefiting of any such occasion.”
and his wife must have been in on it.
Since she is the one who supplied the lame alibi by supposedly making an appt for him with his dermatologist or some such for *that very morning*!! Even though he supposedly had a meeting scheduled. . I wonder whether anyone has ever thought of interviewing/interrogating the dermo and also the other supposed meeting goers. If they are alive today. Or were they similarly otherwise engaged owing to the divine intervention of their spouses making doc appts for them. Maybe they held their “meeting” at the dermo’s office!!
Katherine
If I recall correctly, Silverstein told that his wife recalled him his appointment. His story may be fake altogether.
Assuming it to be true, what would any boss of a company do who called a meeting and cannot show up? Two options:
a) Instruct his representative before the meeting.
b) Cancel or postpone the meeting.
In any case, he/she would instruct the secretary or at least another attendee of the meeting of his/her absence because it would be an outright waste of time/money to keep the companies managers hold up without excuse. Moreover, such behavior undermines the authority of the boss rather quickly (being too distracted to know ones own schedule, for instance).
The absence of any of these actions would show me that Silverstein knew full well what was up on 9/11.
Sidebar: It is inconceivable that the NSA and/or FBI do not know the definitive answers to the raised questions. Their silence and the non-prosecution of suspects equals admission of guilt. Full stop.
Apologies for the grammar correction. There should be no apostrophe in the title: “… Before its destruction.”
It appears people don’t know about the relationship between Silverstein & Netanyahu.
Christopher Bollyn has done fantastic research and I recommend his 2-part book series *Solving 9-11*
>>>
“Netanyahu is one of the architects of 9-11 and was instrumental in pulling the strings of the actors involved in this complex plot. An article in the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz from November 2001 shows just how close Netanyahu is with Larry Silverstein, who controlled the three buildings that were demolished on 9-11.”
https://bollyn.com/9-11-archive-2006/
>>>
“The Ha’aretz article by Sara Leibovich-Dar reveals the “close ties with Netanyahu” that Silverstein has. “The two have been on friendly terms since Netanyahu’s stint as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations. For years they kept in close touch. Every Sunday afternoon, New York time, Netanyahu would call Silverstein.”

“Silverstein obtains lease thru fellow Zionist agent Lew Eisenberg, chairman of the Port Authority. Silverstein and Eisenberg are both members of UJA board, major Zionist fundraising organization. Since 1996, Silverstein maintains very close contact with Netanyahu; every Sunday afternoon Netanyahu calls Silverstein.”

In terms of 9-11, this documentary on the “suicide” of 9-11 whistleblower Philip Marshall is interesting.
Of particular note are the comments by Wayne Madsen at 17:35 in the video speculating on why Marshall could have been suicided in terms of his research at Pinal Airpark in Marana, AZ. He suggests that Marshall possibly received some insider info suggesting that the airliners used on 9-11 were actually decommission planes that were housed at Pinal Airpark.

The debate is over. The truth won. We should just go on as if it’s an accepted fact these buildings were controlled demo’d. Those who don’t grasp this can be regarded as small children who believe in the Easter bunny.
It’s all too democratic to think everyone needs to know. Let the serfs think like serfs.
