on 9/11, Larry Silverstein was on the phone to his lawyers to see if two separate attacks could be claimed in order to double his insurance payout

1-17-2004     According to a February 13, 1991 Los Angeles Times article:

“First on Hussein's shopping list was helicopters - he bought 60 Hughes helicopters and trainers with little notice.  However, a second order of 10 twin-engine Bell "Huey" helicopters, like those used to carry combat troops in Vietnam, prompted congressional opposition in August, 1983... Nonetheless, the sale was approved.”

In 1984, according to The LA Times, the State Department - in the name of “increased American penetration of the extremely competitive civilian aircraft market” - pushed through the sale of 45 Bell 214ST helicopters to Iraq.  The helicopters, worth some $200 million, were originally designed for military purposes.  The New York Times later reported that Saddam “transferred many, if not all [of these helicopters] to his military.”

In 1988, Saddam’s forces attacked Kurdish civilians with poisonous gas from Iraqi helicopters and planes. U.S. intelligence sources told The LA Times in 1991, they “believe that the American-built helicopters were among those dropping the deadly bombs.”

  In response to the gassing, sweeping sanctions were unanimously passed by the US Senate that would have denied Iraq access to most US technology.  The measure was killed by the republican White House. ⁽²⁾

  ^{The Ba'ath regime was strongly anti-American, so it's not surprising that--despite the unfortunate fate of the Iraqi Communist Party--it was primarily a client of the Soviet Union (not the US), and this relationship continued up until the moment when the Soviet Union collapsed.  The other major patron of Saddam Hussein & his regime was France (which, among other things, was the main supplier for his nuclear-weapons program as far back as the early 1980s).  Of course, the Iraqi Ba'ath regime was never a simple tool of any of these patrons.  It had its own agenda, and it played off its patrons--as well as other supporters--against each other when that suited its purposes….}

  period from 1973-1990:  they convey the basic picture clearly enough.  Saddam's weapons came overwhelmingly from the Soviet Union & other Soviet Bloc countries (69% during this period), followed by France (13%) and China (12%) and a string of smaller suppliers.  (For example, according to a 1984 SIPRI report, "During 1982-83, Iraq accounted for 40% of total French arms exports.") The figure for the US is 1%.  http://jeffweintraub.blogspot.com/2003/03/who-armed-saddam-some-reality-checks.html

  As part of Project 922, German firms helped build Iraqi chemical weapons facilities such as laboratories, bunkers, an administrative building, and first production buildings in the early 1980s under the cover of a pesticide plant. Other German firms sent 1,027 tons of precursors of mustard gas, sarin, tabun, and tear gasses in all.  This work allowed Iraq to produce 150 tons of mustard agent and 60 tons of Tabun in 1983 and 1984 respectively, continuing throughout the decade.  All told, 52% of Iraq's international chemical weapon equipment was of German origin. One of the contributions was a £14m chlorine plant known as "Falluja 2", built by Uhde Ltd, a UK subsidiary of a German company; the plant was given financial guarantees by the UK's Export Credits Guarantee Department despite official UK recognition of a "strong possibility" the plant would be used to make mustard gas.^[4] 

  According to Iraq itself, it consumed almost 19,500 chemical bombs, over 54,000 chemical artillery shells and 27,000 short-range chemical rockets between 1983 and 1988.  Iraq declared it consumed about 1,800 tons of mustard gas, 140 tons of Tabun, and over 600 tons of Sarin.  Almost two-thirds of the CW weapons were used in the last 18 months of the war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_chemical_weapons_program

Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who led “Operation Crossfire Hurricane” designed to bring down President Trump, was an undercover CIA agent planted in the bureau by CIA director John Brennan.  According to a bombshell FBI memo, Strzok only held a ceremonial title at the Bureau.   https://yournewswire.com/peter-strzok-worked-for-cia-under-obama/

4-6-18   audio recordings from NORAD reveal:

Military personnel trying to defend U.S. airspace on the morning of September 11th had false information on their radar screens due to a simulation for a training exercise being conducted that day.   https://yournewswire.com/norad-military-radar-screens-sabotaged-911/

Silverstein bought the formerly public buildings in April, 2001 from the New York Port Authority, and promptly doubled the insurance coverage to include terrorism. He also put a clause in the contract to ensure that if the buildings were destroyed, he and Lowy’s company Westfield would have the sole right to reconstruct them.

Every morning without fail, Silverstein would have breakfast at the Windows on the World restaurant on the 107th floor of the North Tower.  On the day of 9/11, however, he was absent from the towers due to a fortuitous doctor’s appointment.  Two of his children, who also worked in the building, were also absent when the planes hit.  Later in the day on 9/11, Larry Silverstein was on the phone to his lawyers to see if two separate attacks could be claimed in order to double his insurance payout.

Most damningly, Silverstein is on the record that day as having given instructions to “pull” WTC 7.  This phrase is specifically used in building demolitions, and is a technical term used to describe a controlled demolition....

Out of a $15 million investment plus borrowed funds Silverstein and Lowy reaped over $4.5 billion in insurance claims.  https://yournewswire.com/israel-911-attacks/

  Mr. Malcolm Howard (36 years as CIA operative) says the World Trade Center 7 operation is unique among his demolitions, as it is the only demolition that “we had to pretend wasn’t a demolition job”.  He claims he had no problem going through with the deception at the time, because “when you are a patriot you don’t question the motivation of the CIA or the White House.  You assume the bigger purpose is for a greater good. They pick good, loyal people like me, and it breaks my heart to hear the shit talk.”  But even he admits that now looking back “Something wasn’t right.”  https://yournewswire.com/cia-911-wtc7/
