Democratic Underground Demopedia reports in Who Killed John O?Neill
that at the time of 9/11, AIG, the world?s largest insurance company,
and subsidiaries Marsh McLennan, ACE and Kroll, were run by the
Greenberg family. With Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member
Maurice ?Hank? Greenberg as the AIG godfather, the Familia?s
tentacles curled around the heart of the tragedy.
Hank?s son Jeffrey, a CFR member as well, was chairman of Marsh &
McLennan, situated on floors throughout the North Tower of the World
Trade Center as well as the top floors of the South Tower. Marsh also
had ties to the CIA. Son Evan Greenberg, a CFR member, was CEO of ACE
Limited, situated in Tower 7, which also contained AIG subsidiary
Kroll, closely related to the CIA, also with an office in Tower 7.
Tower 7 also contained offices of the FBI, Department of Defense, IRS
(which contained prodigious amounts of corporate tax fraud corporate,
including Enron?s), US Secret Service, Securities & Exchange
Commission (with more stock fraud records), and Citibank?s Salomon
Smith Barney, the Mayor?s Office of Emergency Management and many
other financial institutions.
Greenberg?s cousin, Alan ?Ace? Greenberg, was former CEO of Bear
Sterns, where the Bush family, Cheney family George Schultz, James
Baker, et al, did business. It is the leading brokerage firm of the
great and all-powerful Bush Familia.
Also reported by Democratic Underground, AIG?s Kroll ?provided
protection services,? among other things, to high level Americans at
home and abroad. Kroll had military teams in their company and merged
with Armor Holdings on August 23, 2001, adding Defence Systems Limited,
another private military corporation, to their operation, and an ex-KGB
team called Alpha Firm earlier acquired by Defense Systems Limited.
These four teams could have been used on 9/11, part of a
?corporatizing? of black ops in tandem with military teams.
According to whistleblower Richard Grove, who worked as a senior
manager for SilverStream Software on Marsh and AIG accounts, Kroll also
managed the Enron fraud once Kenneth Lay stepped down.
Marsh, immediately after 9/11, established a specialized terrorism team
called Marsh Crisis Consultancy (led by L. Paul Bremer III), adding the
teams Control Risks Group, a British ex-SAS team and Versar,
bio-terrorism and homeland defense team. These players could have known
each other from 9/11, bringing in new assignments and profits.
Democratic Underground also reports, AIG allegedly was laundering drug
money, and was involved in the Afghanistan oil and gas pipelines.
Greenberg and the Adnan Khasshogi family allegedly benefited from the
Afghanistan narcotics trade and interests in the oil and gas pipelines,
as well.
Greenberg?s Law Firm Connections to Bush
According to www.sourcewatch.org, the Greenbergs were and are connected
to the Bush Familia via their Miami-based law firm Greenberg Traurig,
LLP, a 1,350-lawyer, full-service international firm. Here are a few
connects . . .
1) G-T represented George W. Bush in the Bush-Gore 2000 Florida
election vote recount.
2) They personally represent Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
3) They hired son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Election
Day 2000 -- after which Justice Scalia cast one of the 5 to 4 deciding
votes that placed Bush in the White House.
4) They partially funded/sponsored a delegation to Israel by
House-Senate Armed Services Committee members and government
contractors to witness and be briefed on interrogations resistance
procedures and torture techniques.
5) The firm has prominent administrative positions in Massachusetts
9/11 Fund, which also involves Bush family banking house Brown Brothers
Harriman (the same BBH involved with Prescott Bush?s bankrolling the
Nazis in World War II).
6) Traurig Greenberg works with 9-11 victims on planning their US
government ?hushmail/bribery estates.? That is, to receive the
money, the victim?s family must sign an agreement never to sue the
government for any reason. Victim-wife Ellen Mariani is currently being
legally harassed for not signing and for holding the Bush
government?s feet to the fire.
7) Bush still owes the Greenberg Traurig firm nearly $1 million for
work done by dozens of lawyers and paralegals, leaving questions why a
Republican candidate would hire a Democratic lawyer from a Democratic
firm. See Greenberg Traurig link above for more scandals.
Greenberg?s Relationship to Larry Silverstein
On July 24, 2001, six weeks before 9/11, Larry Silverstein took control
of the lease of all the WTC buildings. This followed the Port Authority
decision on April 26.
According to democraticunderground.com, the three companies who
originally insured the WTC were AIG, Marsh and ACE, all run as
mentioned by the Greenbergs at the time. They then sold stakes of the
original contract to their competition, a technique called reinsuring.
Once the Towers came down, the reinsurers got caught holding the bag.
This would inextricably tie the Greenbergs to Silverstein and the
larger conspiracy of 9/11. If they had no foreknowledge of events to
occur, why would the Greenbergs have unloaded so many stakes in their
contract?
According to Michel Chossudovsky in Financial Bonanza behind the 9/11
Tragedy, ?On October 17, 2000, eleven months before 9/11, Blackstone
Real Estate Advisors, of The Blackstone Group, L.P, purchased, from
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, the participating mortgage
secured by World Trade Center, Building 7.1.? [Blackstone in 2000
also purchased a 50 percent stake in Universal Studios, producers of
the myth-perpetuating Flight 93.]
?April 26, 2001 the Port Authority leased the WTC for 99 years to
Silverstein Properties and Westfield America Inc.
?The transaction was authorised by Port Authority Chairman Lewis M.
Eisenberg. This transfer from the New York and New Jersey Port
Authority was tantamount to the privatisation of the WTC Complex. The
official press release described it as ?the richest real estate prize
in New York City history.? The retail space underneath the complex
was leased to Westfield America Inc.
?On 24 July 2001, 6 weeks prior to 9/11 Silverstein took control of
the lease of the WTC following the Port Authority decision on April 26.
?Silverstein and Frank Lowy, CEO of Westefield Inc. took control of
the 10.6 million-square-foot WTC complex.
"Lowy leased the shopping concourse called the Mall at the WTC, which
comprised about 427,000 square feet of retail space.?
?Explicitly included in the agreement was that Silverstein and
Westfield ?were given the right to rebuild the structures if they
were destroyed.'?
?In this transaction, Silverstein signed a rental contract for the
WTC over 99 years amounting to 3.2 billion dollars in installments to
be made to the Port Authority: 800 million covered fees including a
down payment of the order of 100 million dollars. Of this amount,
Silverstein put in 14 million dollars of his own money. The annual
payment on the lease was of the order of 115 million dollars.
?In the wake of the WTC attacks, Silverstein is suing for some $7.1
billion in insurance money, double the amount of the value of the 99
year lease.? In fact, some $5 billion was actually returned, given
the multiple court-case protests of the insurers.
?The mortgaging of the WTC was handled by The Blackstone Group,
headed by Peter J. Peterson, current head of the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR). The Blackstone Group also bought a piece of Kroll in
1993 at the very same time AIG took over majority control. Henry
Kissinger sits on the board of the Blackstone Group.?
By his own admission Silverstein had Tower 7 pulled by controlled
internal demolition eight hours after the first two hits. No plane hit
Tower 7. There were two small fires in it that were under control. In
fact, it takes weeks, months to set up a building to be pulled. So his
order to ?pull it? catches him in a huge lie. Tower 7 may have been
the nexus of the operations. That may have been the real reason to pull
it. In fact, it may have been set up weeks in advance with Towers 1 and
2 for demolition. Ironically, Tower 7 is the only tower that has been
rebuilt, and more opulently than its predecessor, although tenancy is
about 18 percent.
Towers Taken Down for Profit and to Blame Muslims
Given the involvement of the Greenbergs and Silverstein, and other
commercial entities that stood to profit hugely, it is difficult to
believe 9/11 occurred at the hands of 19 rag-tag Muslims with
box-cutters and the help of their leader, Osama bin Laden, sitting in a
cave somewhere in Afghanistan with his laptop and dialysis equipment.
The real reasons behind 9/11 were financial greed and the willingness
to demonize Muslims for the ?Pearl Harbor-type? act that would
instigate America to wage a war on terror, pursuing PNAC?s (Project
for a New American Century) goal of World Hegemony.
The latest documentary on the WTC, The 911 Mysteries from
911WeKnow.com, provides highly convincing proof that the buildings were
taken down in six fatal steps. They involved the use of high-powered
explosives, including thermite and/or thermate, with techniques more
advanced than those of traditional controlled-demolition companies,
most likely the military?s, given their bunker buster technology. The
six steps are . . .

1. Pre-collapse sub-basement explosions
2. Pre-collapse interior blasts
3. Pre-collapse ground level explosions
4. Top level collapse initiation
5. Mid Collapse Squibs (explosions)
6. Final time-delayed rolls (explosions)

Without all these steps, the Towers could never have free-fallen in 10
seconds, the speed of gravity. Any obstacles or pancaking had to be
eliminated otherwise the number of seconds of fall would increase
dramatically. The documentary also reminds us that on February 13, 1975
there was a major fire on the 11th floor of the North Tower that did
not topple it, though the loss was estimated at over $2 million, no
mean event. Check it out.
It is possible that in 1996, when Securacom took over WTC security and
installed a new $8.3 million security system, that the explosives and
charges were also put in place. Sitting on the board of Securacom was
the director Marvin Bush, George Bush?s younger brother.
In any case, this is patently the confluence of the military/industrial
complex with a healthy dose of Wall Street, earning millions if not
billions in put and call options on companies involved with the
catastrophe, including airlines on the down (put) side and military
suppliers on the up (call) side. In addition, there is the missing gold
from the basement of Tower 4, $200 million of which was retrieved, and
an untold amount stolen.
The real bottom line was that the Towers were two financial white
elephants. And both Silverstein and Greenberg had to know that. The
tenancy was dropping. They were out of date. And most dangerously, they
were asbestos bombs, loaded with the dangerous building material when
they were completed in 1972-73.
By law the buildings could not be taken down by internal demolition.
And since it would cost a billion dollars or more to take the towers
down beam by beam, it would be at great loss to the Port of Authority
or its leaseholder. Thus the reasons are obvious to take WTC down in
act of terror also a false-flag operation. Remember, the concept for
the WTC Towers originated with the Nelson and David Rockefeller,
members of the Council on Foreign Relations and among the world?s
elites. A ?New Pearl Harbor? would serve those interests well.
Additional Connections to Greenberg
John O?Neill, mentioned in the first paragraph, was the FBI
anti-terror chief who spent years trying to track down bin Laden and
?al Qaeda? members. At every point, he was stopped or frustrated by
his superiors. Finally, O?Neill parted company with the FBI. Jerome
Hauer, who formerly worked for Kroll, got him the job as chief of
security at the WTC. On 9/11, O?Neill lost his life in the North
Tower.
Mr. Hauer?s job as Kroll chief was also held by Michael Cherkasky,
who came out of the New York County District Attorney?s Office, which
also brought us Rudy Giuliani, Elliot Spitzer and Patrick Fitzgerald.
Mr. Cherkasky also brought Mr. Spitzer into the NYC County DA?s
office. Today Cherkasky is a substantial contributor to Spitzer?s
campaign for New York State Governor. Cherkasky was bumped up to head
Marsh McLennan in 2004.
As an aside, there were about 200 electrical engineers working in the
World Trade Center around the time. Additionally, AMEC and Tully
Construction played a major role in the clean up of Ground Zero and
both have specialized controlled demolition companies.
Lastly, can you believe that one of the Council on Foreign Relations
members who engaged President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran in a debate
about the holocaust at CFR?s reception last week was none other than
Hank Greenberg, who said he witnessed the Dachau camp as Germany fell?
Could it all possibly be payback and then some?
