Larry Silverstein and 9/11
All the evidence suggests that 9/11 was an Israeli false flag operation, carried out with the assistance of key individuals and elements within the United States by a Zionist elite. One of these individuals is Larry Silverstein, who purchased the 99 year lease on the World Trade Center complex in July 2001 and who oversaw control of the complex before and during the attacks, along with Australian real estate tycoon Frank Lowy of Westfield America. Silverstein and Lowy are good friends, and Silverstein has been a director of Lowy’s Westfield America since May 1997. Silverstein is connected to the Zionist elite in Israel in numerous ways, most notably via his close association and friendship with no less than three former Israeli prime ministers, namely Benjamin Netanyahu, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak. Silverstein is especially close to Benjamin Netanyahu who was in New York on the morning of 9/11, and who fathered the “war on terror” doctine. According to Haaretz.com, “Many Israeli politicians are acquainted in one degree or another with the 70-year-old Silverstein.” It’s via these channels that Silverstein was uniquely placed to assist Israeli intelligence and the Zionist mafia in Israel and America with carrying out the 9/11 attacks. As an American born Jew, Silverstein is committed to Jewish causes. He was chairman of the board of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) and remains a member of the executive committee, along with his wife, Klara, who is also a founding member of the Jewish Women’s Foundation. His son, Roger, and his daughter, Lisa, are also UJA contributors. Roger Silverstein, director of leasing for WTC 7, serves on the executive committee of the Real Estate Executive Division of the UJA, and his daughter Lisa is co-chair of the UJA (source). According to it’s website, the UJA is the most successful local charity in the history of the United States, and has raised millions of dollars in support of the Jewish community and the state of Israel. Larry sits on the board of trustees for the Museum of Jewish Heritage, a “living memorial to the holocaust”, and is on the “$500,000 and above” list of contributors (source). He’s also contributed generously to the Jewish Children’s Museum via Silverstein Properties, and is a supporter and benefactor of Tzivos Hashem, a Jewish children’s organisation. He’s a member of NYU’s board of trustees and according to this article by Christopher Bollyn, he also holds or held a senior position in the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), founded to stop discrimination against, and defamation of, the Jewish people. Silverstein has investments in Israel; in fact, in 1992 he co-founded the Israel Export Development Company (IEDC) which sought to facilitate safer investment in Israel. Interestingly, in an article called “Iran Policy Part of Long-Term Plan: Plot to Cripple Iraq, Iran Part of Globalists’ New World Order Strategy“, Michael Collins Piper states that Newt Gingrich’s wife was on IEDC’s payroll in 1995:
In early 1995 the then-newly elected Republican House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, long a vocal advocate for Israel, gave a little-noticed speech in Washington before a gathering of military and intelligence officers calling for a Middle East policy that was, in his words, “designed to force the replacement of the current regime in Iran . . . the only long-range solution that makes any sense.” That the then-de facto leader of the “opposition” Republican Party endorsed this policy was no real surprise since, at that time, Gingrich’s wife was being paid $2,500 a month by the Israel Export Development Company, an outfit which lured American companies out of the United States into a high-tech business park in Israel.
Marianne Gingrich was hired in ’95 as Vice President for Business Development by Silverstein’s IEDC, the same year her husband became speaker of the house. It was around that time that Newt Gingrich’s foreign policy views became staunchly pro-Israel and opposed to Israel’s perceived enemies, even to the point where he publicly called for the CIA to overthrow the Iranian government, as referred to by Piper in his article. That was well before 9/11, and his views haven’t changed. His wife had no experience in international trade, and before that appointment she was an image consultant for BeautiControl Cosmetics (source), but of course, she denied it was a political payoff. From this Dec 1995 article:
According to an article by Connie Bruck in the New Yorker of Oct. 9, “IEDC is trying to win approval from the Israeli government to manage a free-trade zone, and the Israeli government is highly dependent on United States aid—something that Gingrich is in a position to affect.” It is no coincidence that despite drastic budget-cutting this year, Congress has left aid to Israel intact. Bruck Describes the IEDC as an offshoot of the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), a hawkish arm of the pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. Marianne Gingrich works closely with its president, Robert J. Loewenberg, who is also chairman of the board of the Koret Israel Economic Development Fund, which assigns interns to key congressional offices. According to Bruck, Loewenberg writes lengthy diatribes in the IASP newsletter attacking the peace process, return of the Golan Heights to Syria, and “left-wing politicos and bureaucrats.” He supports the immediate move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, which Gingrich is asking Congress to endorse.
So Gingrich was staunchly supporting Silverstein’s IEDC and it’s agenda, and the state of Israel in general, but his beauty consultant wife’s employment as Vice President for Business Development was not a payoff, even though Silverstein told the The Wall Street Journal that Newt Gingrich was one of several members of congress who were lobbied to support his company’s proposal. We’ll call it a favor then. Silverstein’s political views are supposedly “left-leaning”, but in this article by Barry Chamish, it’s written that Silverstein supported his friend Ariel Sharon of the extremist Likud Party in Israel’s last election, which of course makes perfect sense. Especially in light of the fact that Larry is such good friends with Likudnik Bibi Netanyahu that they’d speak on the phone every Sunday (other reports say daily). At the time of publication of this Haaretz article he was “the largest private donor to Hillary Clinton”, rabid supporter of Israel, which bought him “an open door to the office of the junior senator from New York”. So if Silverstein’s dollars go to Hitlery in the next US election, that too will make perfect sense, given that she is the best “left leaning” candidate for Israel and supports the Zionist doctrine of regime change and endless war in the middle east on Israel’s behalf. 9/11 Larry Silverstein has received a lot of attention since 9/11, and his involvement has been well-documented. Four members of his staff were killed in the attacks, but as stated in the aforementioned Haaretz article, “he himself was saved only because a meeting he had scheduled that morning with officials of the Port Authority on the 88th floor of [WTC 1] was canceled at the last minute”. He went to a doctor’s appointment instead, and later stated “I had said to my wife, sweetheart, cancel my doctor’s appointment. I have so much to do at the Trade Center.. She got very upset and told me I had to go. As it turns out, that saved my life.” Lucky Larry Silverstein. One of George W’s 9/11 connections is via Silverstein’s hiring of Securacom (now Stratasec) for the management of electronic security of the WTC complex. The president’s brother, Marvin Bush, was on Securacom’s board of directors, and his cousin, Wirt Walker III, was CEO. Securacom was also responsible for the security of United Airlines Inc and Dulles International airport at the time, both of whom had starring roles in the 9/11 attacks. But perhaps the most incriminating piece of evidence against Larry was offered up by himself in his famous interview with PBS for a documentary called “America Rebuilds“. What he says is with reference to WTC 7, which collapsed without having been hit by a plane and which he owned prior to taking out the lease of the WTC complex.
“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.”
“Pull” or “pull it” is established demolition jargon used in the industry, but Silverstein tried to back out of his Freudian slip thusly, through a spokeswoman for Silverstein Properties:
“The Commander told Mr. Silverstein that there were several firefighters in the building working to contain the fires. Mr. Silverstein expressed his view that the most important thing was to protect the safety of those firefighters, including, if necessary, to have them withdraw from the building.”
So by “pull it” he meant “withdraw [the firefighters] from the building”. Not likely. The weekend before the attacks, the electricity in at least one of the towers was shut off, ostensibly to permit upgrading of the computer network cables (which could’ve been done without shutting down the power at the main terminal). That sort of action isn’t taken without the knowledge of the owner; it could’ve only happened via direct or indirect instruction from Silverstein. To carry out the 9/11 operation the WTC security system would have to be temporarily disabled, thus the power-down. All the pieces of evidence fit together neatly when viewed as a whole; the fingerprints of the Israeli Mossad and operatives of the Zionist elite are all over the 9/11 attacks, and Silverstein’s complicity was key.

Interview with Scott Forbes
Scott Forbes, who worked in the South Tower of the world trade center, witnessed a power-down of the tower in the weekend before 9/11.
I spoke with Scott Forbes by telephone for around a half hour in late 2004. I also arranged a video interview. However, due to delays by a third person in releasing that video, Scott and I agreed to post a written interview now to fill in some of the details of Scott’s experience.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
GW: In 2001, you were working as an information technology specialist for Fiduciary Trust. Were you the main IT person for Fiduciary Trust, or were you an assistant IT person?
SF: I worked within an IT department of around 100 as a senior DBA [database administrator] and team leader.
GW: Fiduciary Trust had floors 90 and 94-97 of the South Tower at that time. Did you work on a specific floor, or did your duties normally keep you roaming on several floors?
SF: I and my technology colleagues worked on the 97th floor … in the course of the day we would have meetings or give support on other floors but most our time would have been spent on the 97th floor.
THE WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER 8TH AND 9TH
GW: You’ve previously stated that on the weekend of September 8 and 9, 2001, there was a “power down” condition in world trade center Tower 2, the South Tower, and that this power down condition meant there was no electrical supply for approximately 36 hours from floor 50 up. Do you know what time the power-down started?
SF: All systems were shutdown on Saturday morning and the power down condition was in effect from approximately 12 noon on Saturday September 8, 2001.
GW: When did it end?
SF: Approximately 2PM on Sunday 9/9.
GW: How do you know that there was no electricity from floor 50 up, if Fiduciary Trust was on much higher floors — starting at the 90th floor?
SF: I can’t absolutely verify that there was no power on lower floors … all I can validate is that we were informed of the power down condition, that we had to take down all systems and then the following day had to bring back up all systems …
GW: You’ve previously stated that you were aware of the power down since you worked in the IT department and had to work with many others that weekend to ensure that all systems were cleanly shutdown beforehand … and then brought back up afterwards. How many other Fiduciary Trust folks were you working with? Can any of them verify your story?
SF: Many, many people worked on the power down, both from the IT department and from the business, revalidating systems when they were available again. Other people can validate my information. Some people do not remember the circumstances, some people will not revisit that time … but others acknowledge the power down freely and can validate my information.
GW: You said the reason given by the World Trade Center or Port Authority for the power down was that cabling in the tower was being upgraded. Do you know what parts of the building or how extensive the area would have been for upgrading cabling? In other words, would the area being worked on have been near the outer walls of the tower? Near the core? In the middle?
SF: I have no knowledge about this and can’t comment …
GW: You also stated that, without power, there were no security cameras. How do you know that? Could there have been backup generators which powered the security cameras?
SF: Within my company security cameras were monitored and videos retained for reference. They were powered from the usual power supplies so they would ave been out of action like all other electrical appliances.
GW: You also stated that, without power, there were security locks on doors. Are you just referring to outside doors, or also office doors? Were the locks electrical or key? If electrical, were they battery-operated?
SF: I was referring to the secure doors accessing my companies floors (and other companies). I do not believe there were any battery operated doors.
GW: You also stated there were many, many ‘engineers’ coming in and out of the tower. Did you see any of these folks yourself?
SF: Yes. By “engineers” I mean there were workmen on site, in overalls.
GW: Did these folks look “middle eastern”?
SF: No, not particularly, I mean I don’t recall registering that the
guys were of one racial group or another.
GW: Did you recognize any of them from previous “work” in the tower?
SF: No.
THE MORNING OF 9/11
GW: You were home on the shore of Jersey City on the morning of 9/11, and — according to what you have said previously — you were “convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work”. Why did you think that?
SF: When the South Tower collapsed, like a pillar of sand, it seemed unreal and inconceivable and I immediately thought something weird was going on. I became more suspicious several months later when the power down condition was never acknowledged and in some instances was denied by authorities.
THE 9/11 COMMISSION
GW: Finally, you’ve stated that you gave your information to the 9/11 Commission, but it took no interest. How did you get the info to the Commission (phone, email, letter?)
SF: I contacted the commission through their website and by mail. But I was never acknowledged nor contacted.
GW: Did the Commission ever follow up with you?
SF: No
GW: Anything else you wish to tell us?
SF: I have another piece of interesting information … after 9/11 my company, along with others, was in disaster recovery mode at a location in New Jersey. At that site were literally hundreds and hundreds of eye witnesses to the events of 9/11. As a British National I was contacted by Scotland Yard in London to interview me on the events … but I’ve often wondered why us authorities, like the New York police or FBI, did not interview all those witnesses available altogether in New Jersey. It seems like incompetence to me at best … negligence at worst.

Transcript of Interviews
Scott Forbes and power down (0:52 min)
We were notified 3 weeks in advance of the powerdown by the Port Authority. That was relatively short notice to plan to shut down all of our banking systems. It was a big deal. It was unprecedented. We had a data center on the 97th floor. So our originating [..] were all there. During that weekend, a powerdown meant that there was no security. The doors were all open basically, and also all the security video cameras were off. They were [..] in all kinds of huge tool boxes and reels of cable walking around the building that weekend.
Rodriguez and the 33rd floor (4:54 min)
As I stood there on the 33rd floor [on 9/11 while he was helping to evacuate people], I heard very strange noises on the 33rd floor. Now the 33rd floor was an empty floor, a floor that did not have any kind of walls or doors … It was totally hollowed out. There was nothing there and I heard very heavy equipment being moved around and it sounded like dumpsters with metal wheels being moved around and I got scared because I knew it was an empty floor. Nobody was supposed to be there.
As a matter of fact, not even the elevators stopped there. You have to have a special access key to open the door on the 33rd floor. So to find that there were strange noises there … and I continued – bypassing that floor because I didn’t [need] to open the door on the 33rd floor.
Scott Forbes – heavy construction work and mountains of dust before 9/11 (6:12 min)
It must have been at least 4-6 weeks before 9/11. It was like rebuilding work going on upstairs. The tenants – the people from Aon who had been there were moved to somewhere else. The offices were just vacant … and there was a lot of heavy machinery building work going on. It was almost like pneumatic drills and lots of hammering – so much so that the floors were shaking – that’s how noticeable it was. It was almost as if something heavy was being moved and then it was taken off wheels and it was like – BOOM!
Our floor underneath literally shook – you could feel the weight above you. That was how large it was. On one occasion, I opened a door to see what was going on, being nosey … When I opened the door the whole office space was empty. There was nothing there at all. It was quite bizarre because it was just empty. Barren. Nothing. Zero. Not even cables hanging from the ceiling … But there’d been these heavy noises and vibrations up above. It was really strange.
It was probably the week leading up to 9/11. Every morning I’d come in around 7am and the dust was incredible, it was filthy … right where the windows were there was a fill that enclosed the radiators. I was sick to death of the dust which was appearing on the window sills. It was dirty gray and very very noticeable in that week leading up to 9/11/ Where was that dust coming from?
Corroboration of the powerdown
Here’s a Testimony
Saturday Jul 21st, 2007 12:16 PM
I can confirm the power-down. I’m unconvinced that it’s meaningful, but the Port Authority disavowing it is rather odd.
I’m an IT engineer. On September 11, I was working for a financial institution based in South Dakota but which had offices in the WTC. I was Senior Systems Engineer for the company. In that capacity, I was charged with the maintenance and monitoring of our wide-area network systems. This included not only our primary business locations in South Dakota, but also New York, San Francisco, and other areas.
We had a monitoring system for all of our wide-area network circuits and equipment (maintained by me) that included our server in NYC and both the LAN and WAN interfaces of the Cisco router in the office. Consequently, any time we lost connectivity with NYC, I would be alerted via email sent to my pager.
I recall the power-down in question quite vividly because it was one of the few times we had warning of an outage and consequently disabled monitoring of the NYC site. The overwhelming majority of WAN outages are caused by circuit failures (generally due to bad weather or construction), and can occur at any time without warning.
I’m sure that at least three of my co-workers (including the then-VP of IT) would remember the incident. We were all advised of the power-down well in advance and discussed disabling monitoring for the duration of the outage, as well as advising the NYC staff to power down the local server and other equipment in advance.
I found the timing of loss of connectivity on 9/11 rather amazing. I recall coming downstairs after getting ready for work that morning and being shocked when my then-wife pointed me to the TV. I remember being surprised that my pager hadn’t gone off, as the company’s WTC offices were well above the impact area. I’ve generally attributed the delay to the fact that our equipment were on a backup power supply that probably ran out of power after about half an hour. Nevertheless, I was rather amazed that the circuit itself and the supporting equipment in the building were still functional well after the plane impacted.
It wasn’t until twenty minutes or so later (as I walked from my car to the office building) — that my pager went off. There is an error margin of about five minutes, since the monitoring system made a sweep of NYC every five minutes. Assuming that connectivity was lost immediately after the preceding sweep, it could have been out for as long as five minutes before the next sweep would catch it.
Again, I don’t know that the power-down in and of itself is particularly meaningful: these things happen from time to time for a variety of valid reasons. However, the fact that the Port Authority now denies that it occurred is unusual.

Call for FOI requests as NY Port Authority deny pre-9/11 ‘power down’
British IT engineer Scott Forbes was working in New York’s World Trade Center in September 2001 and lost 89 of his work colleagues in the 9/11 attacks. This is a 25 minute mp3 interview with him for free dissemination…
–> Listen here to his eyewitness account of the security systems power down and mysterious ‘cabling’ contractors working in the south tower the weekend immediately prior to the attacks.
Scott Forbes demands disclosure of documents authorising the power down and details of who the contractors were.

From his nearby flat, on his day off, Scott witnessed the second plane strike the tower just below offices where his colleagues were working.
The 9/11 Commission were not interested that the WTC security cameras and other security systems were paralysed between 12 noon on Saturday 8th and 2pm on Sunday 9th September 2001.
The New York Port Authority now deny that there was any power outage. It has now become a mission for Scott to get an explanation.
Scott is appealing to anyone and everyone, in New York particularly, to file freedom of information requests with the Port Authority for disclosure of the documents authorising the power down and details of who the contractors were.
Scott was interviewed on Wednesday 18th July 2007 at Charing Cross in London by Tony Gosling and Fran Scott… for the people….

Scott Forbes’ message to John Kaminski
The following message was sent by Scott Forbes to John Kaminski on 2004-04-19, and was forwarded to about forty 9/11 researchers. It has since be sent out on various mailing lists.
The ‘power down’ condition on the weekend of September 8th-9th, 2001, as described below, should be known to many who worked at the World Trade Center at that time (if they were not among the 3000 or so who were killed), and it should be fairly easy to confirm that it took place. This event would have affected several companies. For financial institutions in a large office building to be asked to shut down all their banking systems at the same time is a rare thing. This information, if it can be confirmed, is highly relevant to any investigation of the causes of the collapses of WTC1 and WTC2.

To John Kaminski,
I was pleased to read your article “The Official Version of 9/11 is a Hoax”
… Please note some other facts. My name is Scott Forbes and I still work
for Fiduciary Trust. In 2001 we occupied floors 90 and 94-97 of the South
Tower and lost 87 employees plus many contractors.
On the weekend of 9/8,9/9 there was a ‘power down’ condition in WTC tower 2,
the south tower. This power down condition meant there was no electrical
supply for approx 36hrs from floor 50 up. I am aware of this situation since
I work in IT and had to work with many others that weekend to ensure that
all systems were cleanly shutdown beforehand … and then brough back up
afterwards. The reason given by the WTC for the power down was that cabling
in the tower was being upgraded … Of course without power there were no
security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many ‘engineers’
coming in and out of the tower. I was at home on the morning of 9/11 on the
shore of Jersey City, right opposite the Towers, and watching events unfold
I was convinced immediately that something was happening related to the
weekend work …
I have mailed this information to many people and bodies, including the 9/11
Commission but no-one seems to be taking and registering these facts. Whats
to hide? Can you help publicise them?
Please feel free to mail me.

Pre-9/11 World Trade Center Power-Down
by Victor Thorn – April 23, 2004
Did the World Trade Center towers undergo a deliberate “power-down” on the weekend prior to the 9-11 terrorist attacks? According to Scott Forbes, a senior database administrator for Fiduciary Trust, Inc. – a high-net investment bank which was later acquired by Franklin Templeton – this is precisely what took place. Forbes, who was hired by Fiduciary in 1999 and is now stationed at a U.K. branch office, was working on the weekend of September 8-9, 2001, and said that his company was given three weeks advance notice that New York’s Port Authority would take out power in the South Tower from the 48th floor up. The reason: the Port Authority was performing a cabling upgrade to increase the WTC’s computer bandwidth.
Forbes stated that Fiduciary Trust was one of the WTC’s first occupants after it was erected, and that a “power-down” had never been initiated prior to this occasion. He also stated that his company put forth a huge investment in time and resources to take down their computer systems due to the deliberate power outage. This process, Forbes recalled, began early Saturday morning (September 8th) and continued until mid-Sunday afternoon (September 9th) – approximately 30 hours. As a result of having its electricity cut, the WTC’s security cameras were rendered inoperative, as were its I.D. systems, and elevators to the upper floors.
Forbes did stress, though, that there was power to the WTC’s lower floors, and that there were plenty of engineers going in-and-out of the WTC who had free access throughout the building due to its security system being knocked out. In an e-mail to journalist John Kaminski, author of The Day America Died (Sisyphus Press) and America’s Autopsy Report (Dandelion Books), Forbes wrote: “Without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors, and many, many ‘engineers’ coming in and out of the tower.”
Forbes didn’t think much of these occurrences at the time, and said that he worked until Monday morning (September 10th) to get all the computer systems back online. Due to his IT-related duties on Saturday & Sunday, Forbes had Tuesday, September 11th off, and thus watched the World Trade Center towers collapse from his apartment. While doing so, he recalled, “I was convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work.”
In addition, Forbes says there were other peculiarities revolving around this unreported event, including:
1) Fiduciary employees trapped between the 90-97th floors of the South Tower told family members (via cell-phone calls) that they were hearing “bomb-like explosions” throughout the towers.
2) Video cameras positioned atop the World Trade Center which were used to feed daily images to local television stations were inexplicably inoperative that morning […]

Kobi AlexanderIsraeli 9/11 Crook Flees with $57 Million to Israel
Posted By: ChristopherBollyn
Date: Thursday, 10 August 2006, 3:11 p.m.
Jacob “Kobi” Alexander, the Israeli founder of Comverse Technology, one of the leading Mossad companies involved in the terror attacks has fled justice in the United States and escaped to Israel with at least $57 million of ill-gotten gains.
As todays New York Times reports:
(Start quote)
New York – Describing a brazen scheme to manipulate the granting of options, federal prosecutors have charged three former executives of Comverse Technology with mail fraud, securities fraud and wire fraud.
In charging the former executives on Tuesday, prosecutors said they had used fictitious employees to create a secret slush fund of options to be distributed to favored employees.
The former chief executive, Jacob Alexander, who had built Comverse into a $1 billion leader in the communications software market, did not appear in court and is believed to have fled to Germany or Israel, according to a person briefed on the investigation. A warrant was issued for his arrest.
Alexander is highly regarded in Israel, where he once owned a stake in a Tel Aviv professional basketball team and where Comverse has extensive business operations.
In late July, he wired $57 million to an account in Israel, according to court filings from the Justice Department. Millions more are believed to remain in his accounts in the United States, which prosecutors have asked to be frozen.
http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/08/10/business/options.php
(End of quote)
Kobi Alexander should be arrested and interrogated about his knowledge of the events of 9/11. His company acquired the other Mossad firm, Odigo, shortly after it was revealed that Odigo employees had been forewarned of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
This is the tip of the Israeli criminal mafia who is behind the terror attacks on 9/11.
Here is a relevant section from one of my articles about Mossad’s involvement in 9/11, which I posted on RMN on April 7, 2005:
At least two Israel-based employees of Odigo received warnings of an imminent attack in New York City more than two hours before the first plane hit the WTC. Odigo had its U.S. headquarters two blocks from the WTC. The Odigo employees, however, did not pass the warning on to the authorities in New York City, a move that could have saved thousands of lives.
Odigo has a feature called People Finder that allows users to seek out and contact others based on certain demographics, such as Israeli nationality.
Two weeks after 9/11, Alex Diamandis, Odigo’s vice president, reportedly said, “It was possible that the attack warning was broadcast to other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of other recipients of the message.
The Internet address of the sender was given to the FBI, and two months later it was reported that the FBI was still investigating the matter. There have been no media reports since.
Odigo, like many Israeli software companies, is based and has its Research and Development (R&D) center in Herzliya, Israel, the small town north of Tel Aviv, which happens to be where Mossad’s headquarters are located.
Shortly after 9/11, Odigo was taken over by Comverse Technology, another Israeli company. Within a year, five executives from Comverse were reported to have profited by more than $267 million from “insider trading.”
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=68985
Kobi Alexander the Israeli crook who owned the Mossad companies who had clear foreknowledge of the terror attacks of 9/11. Alexander transferred $57 million to Israel and fled to Israel as a fugitive from justice. Why didn’t the police arrest him before he was able to get away? Who warned him and allowed him to flee? This man is connected to the terror attacks of 9/11.

U.S. investigators and the controlled media have ignored a preponderance of evidence pointing to Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, being involved in the terror attacks of 9/11.
From the very morning aircraft smashed into the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon, news reports have indicated Israeli intelligence being involved in the events of 9/11 — and the planting of “false flags” to blame Arab terrorists and mold public opinion to support the pre-planned “war on terror.”
Shortly after the destruction of the twin towers, radio news reports described five “Middle Eastern men” being arrested in New Jersey after having been seen videotaping and celebrating the explosive “collapses” of the WTC.
These men, from a phony moving company in Weehawken, N.J., turned out to be agents of Israeli military intelligence, Mossad. Furthermore, their “moving van” tested positive for explosives.
Dominic Suter, the Israeli owner of Urban Moving Systems, the phony “moving company,” fled in haste, or was allowed to escape, to Israel before FBI agents could interrogate him. The Israeli agents were later returned to Israel on minor visa violations.
The Assistant Attorney General in charge of criminal investigations at the time was Michael Chertoff, the current head of the Dept. of Homeland Security. Chertoff, the son of the first hostess of Israel’s national air carrier, El Al, is thought to be an Israeli national.
One of the Israeli agents later told Israeli radio that they had been sent to “document the event” — the event which took the lives of some 3,000 Americans.
Despite the fact that the Israelis arrested in New Jersey evidently had prior knowledge or were involved in the planning of 9/11, the U.S. mainstream media has never even broached the question of Israeli complicity in the attacks.
ISRAELIS FOREWARNED
On September 12, 2001, the Internet edition of The Jerusalem Post reported, “The Israeli foreign ministry has collected the names of 4,000 Israelis believed to have been in the areas of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon at the time of the attack.”
Yet only one Israeli was killed at the WTC and two were reportedly killed on the “hijacked” aircraft.
Although a total of three Israeli lives were reportedly lost on 9/11, speechwriters for President George W. Bush grossly inflated the number of Israeli dead to 130 in the president’s address to a joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001.
The fact that only one Israeli died at the WTC, while 4,000 Israelis were thought to have been at the scene of the attacks on 9/11 naturally led to a widespread rumor, blamed on Arabic sources, that Israelis had been forewarned to stay away that day.
“Whether this story was the origin of the rumor,” Bret Stephens, the Post’s editor-in-chief wrote in 2003, “I cannot say. What I can say is that there was no mistake in our reporting.”
ODIGO INSTANT MESSAGES
Evidence that Israelis had been forewarned several hours before the attacks surfaced at an Israeli instant messaging service, known as Odigo. This story, clear evidence of Israeli prior knowledge, was reported only briefly in the U.S. media — and quickly forgotten.
At least two Israel-based employees of Odigo received warnings of an imminent attack in New York City more than two hours before the first plane hit the WTC. Odigo had its U.S. headquarters two blocks from the WTC. The Odigo employees, however, did not pass the warning on to the authorities in New York City, a move that could have saved thousands of lives.
Odigo has a feature called People Finder that allows users to seek out and contact others based on certain demographics, such as Israeli nationality.
Two weeks after 9/11, Alex Diamandis, Odigo’s vice president, reportedly said, “It was possible that the attack warning was broadcast to other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of other recipients of the message.
The Internet address of the sender was given to the FBI, and two months later it was reported that the FBI was still investigating the matter. There have been no media reports since.
Odigo, like many Israeli software companies, is based and has its Research and Development (R&D) center in Herzliya, Israel, the small town north of Tel Aviv, which happens to be where Mossad’s headquarters are located.
Shortly after 9/11, Odigo was taken over by Comverse Technology, another Israeli company. Within a year, five executives from Comverse were reported to have profited by more than $267 million from “insider trading.”
Through Israeli “venture capital” (VC) investment funds, Mossad spawns and sponsors scores of software companies currently doing business in the United States. These Israel-based companies are sponsored by Mossad funding sources such as Cedar Fund, Stage One Ventures, Veritas Venture Partners, and others.
As one might expect, the portfolios of these Mossad-linked funding companies contain only Israeli-based companies, such as Odigo.
Reading through the strikingly similar websites of these Israeli “VC” funds and their portfolio companies, one can’t help but notice that the key “team” players share a common profile and are often former members of “Israel’s Intelligence Corps” and veterans of the R&D Department of the Israel Air Force or another branch of the military. Most are graduates of Israel’s “Technion” school in Haifa, Mossad’s Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, or a military program for software development.
The IDC, a private, non-profit university, is closely tied to the Mossad. The IDC has a “research institute” headed by Shabtai Shavit, former head of the Mossad from 1989 to 1996, called the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism.
The IDC also has a “Marc Rich Center for the Study of Commodities, Trading and Financial Markets” and a “Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy.” The cosmetics magnate Ronald S. Lauder, who is a supporter of Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his far-right Likud Party, founded the Lauder school.
Lauder, president of the Jewish National Fund and former chairman of New York Governor George Pataki’s Commission on Privatization, is the key individual who pushed the privatization of the WTC and former Stewart AFB, where the flight paths of the two planes that hit the twin towers oddly converged. Ronald Lauder played a significant, albeit unreported, role in the preparation for 9/11.
Pataki’s wife, Libby, has been on Lauder’s payroll since at least 2002 and reportedly earned $100,000 as a consultant in 2004. According to The Village Voice, between 1994 and 1998, Gov. Pataki earned some $70,000 for speaking to groups affiliated with Lauder.
THE PTECH CUTOUT
Ptech, a mysterious software company has been tied with the events of 9/11. The Quincy, Massachusetts-based company was supposedly connected to “the Muslim Brotherhood” and Arab financiers of terrorism.
The firm’s suspected links with terrorism resulted in a consensual examination by the FBI in December 2002, which was immediately leaked to the media. The media reports of the FBI “raid” on Ptech soon led to the demise of the company.
Ptech “produced software that derived from PROMIS, had an artificial intelligence core, and was installed on virtually every computer system of the U.S. government and its military agencies on September 11, 2001,” according to Michael Ruppert’s From the Wilderness (FTW) website.
“This included the White House, Treasury Dept. (Secret Service), Air Force, FAA, CIA, FBI, both houses of Congress, Navy, Dept. of Energy, IRS, Booz Allen Hamilton, IBM, Enron and more,” FTW reported.
“Whoever plotted 9/11 definitely viewed the FAA as the enemy that morning. Overriding FAA systems would be the most effective way to ensure the attacks were successful,” FTW reported. “To do this, the FAA needed an evolution of PROMIS software installed on their systems and Ptech was just that; the White House and Secret Service had the same software on their systems — likely a superior modified version capable of ‘surveillance and intervention’ systems.”
But did the U.S. government unwittingly load software capable of “surveillance and intervention” operations and produced by a company linked to terrorism onto its most sensitive computer networks, or was Ptech simply a Mossad “cutout” company?
Oussama Ziade, a Lebanese Muslim immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1985, founded Ptech in 1994. But the company’s original manager of marketing and information systems was Michael S. Goff, whose PR firm, Goff Communications, currently represents Guardium, a Mossad-linked software company.
And Goff comes from a well-to-do line of Jewish Masons who have belonged to Worcester’s Commonwealth Lodge 600 of B’nai Brith for decades. So, why would a recently graduated Juris Doctor in Law leave a promising law career to join forces with a Lebanese Muslim’s upstart company sponsored with dodgy funders in Saudi Arabia?
“As information systems manager [for Ptech], Michael handled design, deployment and management of its Windows and Macintosh, data, and voice networks,” Goff’s website says. “Michael also performed employee training and handled all procurement for software, systems and peripherals.”
AFP asked Goff, who left the Worcester law firm of Seder & Chandler in 1994, how he wound up working at Ptech. “Through a temp agency,” Goff said. Asked for the name of the agency, Goff said he could not remember.
Could it be Mossad Temps, or maybe Sayan Placement Agency?
Goff, the original marketing manager for Ptech software, said he did not know who had written the code that Ptech sold to many government agencies. Is this believable?
Goff leaves a legal practice in his home town to take a job, through a temp agency, with a Lebanese Muslim immigrant who is selling software, and he doesn’t know who even wrote the code?
AFP contacted the government agencies that reportedly have Ptech software on their computers, and IBM, to ask if they could identify who had written the source code of the Ptech software.
By press time, only Lt. Commander Ron Steiner of the U.S. Navy’s Naval Network Warfare Command had responded. Steiner said he had checked with an analyst and been told that none of the Ptech software has been approved for the Navy’s enterprise networks.

Frank Lowy, Zionism and 9/11
Fifty days before 9/11, Larry Silverstein’s Silverstein Properties and Frank Lowy’s Westfield America obtained 99-year leases on World Trade Center Buildings One, Two, Four and Five. Silverstein already owned Building Seven. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey handed over control of the World Trade Center to Silverstein and Lowy on July 24, 2001. Lowy leased the shopping concourse area called the Mall at the World Trade
Center, made up of approximately 427,000 square feet of retail floor space. Silverstein insured the complex for $3.55 billion, but after the attacks of September 11 lodged a claim for $7.1 billion on the premise that each plane collision constituted a separate act of terrorism, doubling the payout. We all know about “Lucky” Larry Silverstein’s part in 9/11 and his dubious connections to Benyamin Netanyahu et al, and I plan to do a write-up on him later, but not much has been reported on Lowy, so let’s have a look.
Frank Lowy is an Hungarian Jew who arrived in Palestine in 1945 to fight as a Golani commando in the Israeli “War of Independence”, before moving to Sydney Australia, where he built shopping centers. He went on to work in investment banking in London and New York and eventually Los Angeles. He co-founded the Westfield Group, which he still chairs. According to wikipedia, “Westfield currently has interests in total assets worth A$41 billion, representing 121 shopping centres in four countries with over 10 million square meters of retail space. It is the world’s largest retail property group by equity market capitalization”. He has overseen Westfield’s regional growth from 6 centers in California to at least 59. At $3.8 billion, he’s ranked #2 in forbes.com’s list of Australia and NZ’s richest individuals, and by the same standard is the 174th richest man in the world.
Apparently Lowy’s fondness for banking is not limited to the US. He’s a board member of the Reserve Bank of Australia, Australia’s central bank, which is the Australian version of the US “Federal Reserve” system and issuer of Australian banknotes.
Frank the Zionist is not at all disinterested in world politics; in 2001 he was the associate international chairman of the Israel Democracy Institute, and in 2003 he set up the Lowy Institute for International Policy, an international policy think tank devoted to foreign affairs, which led to him being awarded the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship in 2005 (funnily enough, it was Wilson who passed the Federal Reserve Act). That same year, the Institute moved into its permanent home in Sydney’s CBD which was formally opened by Australia’s Prime Minister and Lowy’s good mate, John Howard. He even joined Howard and Bill Clinton on an “evening Sydney Harbour cruise” during a visit by the latter to Oz in ’96 (source).

False flag rationale from an Israeli’s own mouth
“Israel MUST Invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the method of Provocation and revenge…And above all, let us Hope for a new war with the Arab countries so that we may finally get Rid of our troubles and Acquire our space.”
–from the personal diary of Moshe Sharett, Israel’s 1st Foreign Minister 1948-1956, Prime Minister 1954-1956.
Financial manpulations
Well one thing we do know is, is that security and passenger screening for Boston’s Logan Airport on 9/11 was managed by Huntleigh Corp — an American subsidiary of the ICTS. The ICTS is a giant security corporation under the ownership of 2 Jewish Chairmen: Harel Ezra and Menachem J. Atzmon. The company’s workforce is interconnected with Israel’s Governmental Security Agency: the Shabak aka Shin Bet. . Additionally, the Israeli software company Odigo Systems — several of its offices were stationed near the WTC by the way — had received attack warnings via instant messaging at roughly 2 hours prior to any of the 9/11 planes even taking flight. Isn’t it highly suspicious that despite having the luxury of 2 hours, Odigo personnel did not contact the ICTS in order to cancel all flights? This is yet another smoking gun which hasn’t gotten much exposure as of yet.
Now Odigo Systems is under the control of another Israeli owned company, Comverse. It just so happens that Comverse was founded by the Jewish CEO, Jacob Alexander, who by the way, is currently a fugitive and wanted by the FBI for “conspiracy to commit securities fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud, for his alleged role in a multimillion dollar stock options scheme.”. Several other Comverse Executives are also facing fraud charges for manipulating stock options.
Keeping that in mind, let’s look back to a related area concerning the pre-9/11 stock options estimated to have taken place between August 26, 2001 and the September 11 attacks; insider tradingairline companies Raytheon gained significant stock resurgences immediately following the attacks. It also just so happens to be that Raytheon collaborates Elta Systems Ltd. to equip commercial aircraft with defense systems. Funny how all these things that have been mentioned just “seem” to be directly or indirectly correlated to each other in more ways than one. Seriously, it’s like it is almost impossible trying to expose the 9/11 conspiracy without tying Israel to it. The fact that Israel seems to be so ubiquitous in almost all (if not all) the facets of 9/11 is proof positive of a highly consistent pattern which demands a real investigation. with Israel’s that involved several Israeli Citizens selling a list of 38 stocks pertaining to the associated with the 9/11 events. Major U.S. Military contractor corporations such as …..
