The Pentagon, Larry Silverstein, and the Continuing Government Cover-Up

After over a year of investigating the 9/11 attacks, I feel safe in debunking one of the most popular theories – the idea that the Pentagon was not hit by American Airlines Flight 77. Somehow, myself and many other “investigators” failed to acknowledge the wealth of eyewitness evidence, as well as the comparative evidence to the World Trade Center attacks. In the WTC attacks we don’t see wreckage from the plane outside the building. That’s because, like in the Pentagon, the plane went all the way into the building, meaning any remaining debris would be inside the structure. There is photographic evidence of debris as well as eyewitness testimony here: http://home.planet.nl/~reijd050/pentahole_dimensions_est.htm.

With that said, and with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report coming out, there is still one very important lingering question: Did Building 7 in the World Trade Center complex really come down primarily due to fire, with some amount of structural damage from debris from the two main towers?

It would be easier to accept this conclusion at face value if it wasn’t for the testimony of Larry Silverstein, owner of Silverstein Properties, the company leasing the WTC complex on the day of the attacks.

In the PBS documentary about 9/11, America Rebuilds, Silverstein says, “I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, ‘We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.’ And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.’” (For the video clip go to http://www.infowars.com/print/Sept11/FDNY.htm.

This evidence is not mentioned in either the FEMA report or the more recent report from the NIST. Not only that, we have the CBS broadcast of Dan Rather saying, “It’s reminiscent of those pictures we’ve all seen too much on television before when a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down.” (For video of this go to http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/wtc7.html, scroll down to “Other media coverage of the collapse...,” and click on the video on the right.)

It is also important to note that Larry Silverstein made a fortune off the destruction of the World Trade Center. In July 2001, he purchased a 99-year lease on the complex costing an intitial $616 million and $115 million a year after that. These amounts were to total $3.2 billion. After the attacks he was awarded an insurance payment of over $3.5 billion and then sued for an additional $3.5 billion claiming the two planes constituted two separate terrorist attacks. (For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Silverstein, and more: http://globalfire.tv/nj/03en/jews/wtc-silverstein.htm.)

That the official 9/11 story still does not account for Silverstein’s testimony, his impeccable luck, or the luck of traders who placed an unprecedented number of put options (bets the stock would fail) on American Airlines and United Airlines just days before the attack, shows that our government either doesn’t care about these things or doesn’t want us to know.
