Notorious New York City businessman, and World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein, scored another post-9/11 windfall this week, after Silverstein properties reached a $95 million dollar settlement in a civil litigation suit against American Airlines and United Continental Holdings.
The settlement, filed Tuesday with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, comes after 13 years of ‘hard fought’ litigation. In an email to Reuters, Silverstein properties’ spokesman Bud Perrone said,
We are pleased to have finally reached a resolution to this piece of post-9/11 litigation.
Silverstein, who signed a 99-year lease on the World Trade Center just 2 months prior to the attack, has received over 4.5 billion dollars stemming from post 9/11 lawsuits. In May of 2007, CBS Moneywatch reported:
The state and seven insurers have reached a settlement that secures more than $4.5 billion in funding to rebuild ground zero.
About $2.55 billion has already been paid out by two dozen insurers since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that destroyed the twin towers. The remaining insurers agreed to pay $2 billion and drop several court battles over how much they owe in insurance to replace the trade center.
Despite reports of financial trouble, Silverstein opened the rebuilt World Trade Center One in 2014 after reaching out to the New York Port Authority for financial assistance.
While there are hundreds of ‘conspiracy theories’ surrounding Larry Silverstein and the 9/11 attacks, there are certain inconsistencies in the ‘official story’ that remain unanswered over a decade after that tragic day.
Here are six hard-hitting facts that the mainstream media and the political powers have relentlessly attempted to keep hidden from the public.
Fact 1:
Coming in at number 1 is perhaps one of the most perplexing of all the facts. Amazingly enough, some folks still believe that only two towers fell that day. The fact that Tower 7, a 47-story building, collapsed, was but a small blip in the media. Since 9/11, World Trade Center Tower 7 is rarely, if at all mentioned in the mainstream media.
Insanely enough, when Tower 7 is mentioned to some people, they think that it’s a conspiracy theory that it fell.
However, Tower 7, which was not hit by a plane, in fact, collapsed into its own footprint at free fall speed.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, (the government agency assigned to investigate the building collapse in the video above) attributes the collapse to the failure of a single column, in a complex scenario involving thermal expansion of beams supporting the column, caused by office furniture burning; a theory that is largely disputed by many experts.
FACT 2:
BBC, CNN, FOX, and MSNBC reported the collapse of WTC 7 — well before it happened.
Fact 3:
The 9/11 Commission was railroaded. Not only were the commissioners given extremely limited funds to conduct their investigation, but they were also met with dead ends in almost every direction.
For starters, only $15 million was given to investigate 9/11. Compare that to the over $60 million that was spent investigating Clinton’s affairs with Monica and the travesty becomes greater. This was the largest act of murder in recent US history, and more money was spent investigating a philandering president!
Also, Senator Max Cleland, who resigned from the 9/11 Commission after calling it a “national scandal,” stated in a 2003 PBS interview,
I’m saying that’s deliberate. I am saying that the delay in relating this information to the American public out of a hearing… series of hearings, that several members of Congress knew eight or ten months ago, including Bob Graham and others, that was deliberately slow walked… the 9/11 Commission was deliberately slow walked, because the Administration’s policy was, and its priority was, we’re gonna take Saddam Hussein out.
In 2006, the Washington Post reported that several members of the 9/11 Commission suspected deception on part of the Pentagon. As reported,
Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon’s initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.
Fact 4:
Staying on the topic of the 9/11 Commission, in 2004 President George Bush and VP Dick Cheney told the Commission that they would not be formally interviewed in relation to the attacks on September 11.
On April 27, 2004 the White House released a statement saying there would be no recording or formal transcription of the interview. The duo also demanded to be interviewed together, against the wishes of the commissioners.
According to the New York Times,
Under a pact with the White House that allowed all its 10 members in the interview, the commission is permitted to take a note taker, but not a recording device. The panel said it did not press for a formal transcription of the session, letting the White House decide.
Fact 5:
After the myriad of holes began to form in the official narrative, several dedicated engineers and architects took to their own investigation. Today, there are over 2,300 architects and engineers who’ve signed on to the initiative, all declaring the official story to be false.
Fact 6:
The US government admitted they covered up the fact that the Saudi Arabian government supported the hijackers.
“I had to stop every couple pages and…try to rearrange my understanding of history. It challenges you to rethink everything.” – Congressman Thomas Massie describing his experience reading the 28 pages in March 2014.
“The 28 Pages” – part of an 838-page Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 – have been kept almost entirely classified since 2002.
Former Sen. Bob Graham, a co-chairman of the investigation committee and strong advocate of declassifying the information, said, “The 28 pages primarily relate to who financed 9/11 and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier.”
In July, the 28 pages were finally released, although many parts are still redacted. They show that Graham was right—several figures in the Saudi Arabian government provided assistance to the 9-11 hijackers from within the U.S.
“There is information, primarily from FBI sources, that at least two of those individuals were alleged by some to be Saudi intelligence officers,” reads the first of 28 pages. “The Joint Inquiry’s review confirmed that the Intelligence Community also has information, much of which has yet to be independently verified, indicating that individuals associated with the Saudi Government in the United States may have other ties to al-Qa’ida and other terrorist groups.”

Anyone who knows or wants to know the truth, knows that the Bush 2, Clinton administration and the Mossad were all part of it.
Larry ‘the lounge lizard’ Silverstain.
He should jump off the top of a hotel.
someone should interrogate him and get some of that info out
Head over to (((Breitbart))) to see its community wringing their hands over the growing awareness of Jewish corruption in western society. Just yesterday, someone had the gall to claim the Rothshilds are not as bad as the internet is making them out to be – suggesting 99% of online material exposing them is fictional.
People that think the Rothschild’s are harmless need to do a bit of learning,
they are behind some of the worst atrocities known to man, and they had something to do with the gas chamber fraud it was all a part of there plan
This man is one of the ugliest slimy excuses for humanity I have seen , he just oozes evil. If there had been
a proper investigation into 911 , which the American people should have insisted on , he should have been one of the first suspects to be water boarded along with Bush Cheyney , Rumsfeld etc .
All of these perps should be rounded up and subjected to enhanced interrogation. I don’t think water-boarding is sufficient though. We know quit a lot about about the torture they employed — up to and including torture-to-death (pump and dump).
These monsters murdered millions. It’s way past time for real justice.
I remember reading that those towers had to be fixed because they were full of asbestos and it was going to cost a fortune, and the insurance policy would double if they were hit buy a plane. Remember when the workers were told it was safe to be in the area? They didn’t mention the toxic buildings and those workers found out too late they would be sicked by them.
Fact 7 —– at exactly 1:54:54……………..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5eAqEQL7J0&t=6895s
and I’ve got a lot more facts from that film and other films they made.
Excellent run down of 9/11 facts and Lucky Larry’s good fortune.
This info is inseparable from one of the biggest, if not THE biggest swindle in US history. WTC 7 housed the backups of the Pentagon’s financial records, the originals of which were kept in the very same section of the Pentagon that was destroyed by the terrorist “plane crash” that same day. Those two events eliminated any ability to investigate the DOD’s loss of 3.1 TRILLION dollars that Donald Rumsfeld announced in a press conference on 9/10/2001.
The pentagon is still disappearing money at an unbelievable rate. Examination of their accounting reveals that the pentagon has disappeared 20+ trillion (with a “T”) since 1998. Oddly, they refuse to do the mandated yearly audits. Check Catherine Austin Fitts for details.
I’ve gotta wonder …… Is the War Department (aka DoD) and/or the MIC running this country now? The one thing that does not change when we change presidents is endless US-initiated wars, drone murders and US-state-terrorism.
And NASA is the same , burning billions of dollars for what ? Its all just a scam. Without getting to the bottom of 911 nothing will change. Wake up people , demand the truth.
Aaaaand the zionists win again.
This scumbag was in cahoots with whoever planned the attack and that is a fact, how can he live with himself
