Explosive connections of WTC tenants on 9/11

This fascinating, disturbing video - based on work by 911 whistleblower Kevin Ryan - provides a lot of information on the family and military-political links to the Bush clique of corporations who were directly hit by planes striking the World Trade Centre. At the least they constitute a series of strange coincidences.

World's number 1 insurance broker Marsh & Maclennan occupied floors 94 to 99 on the north face of the North Tower that was struck by American Airlines Flight 11.  Marsh was known to be highly secretive. Its CEO was Jeffrey Greenberg, son of AIG boss Maurice Greenberg, who later stood down after being implicated in a massive fraud at the firm. Paul L Bremer, later viceroy of Iraq during the occupation, was an executive of Marsh & Maclennan; Stephen Friedman, President George W. Bush's top economic adviser and former Goldman, Sachs & Co. co-chairman, who was an MMC senior principal; and Craig Stapleton, the husband of George W. Bush's cousin Dorothy, who was an MMC president. He was one of several highly connected neoconservatives who had offices in the towers but were not at work on 9/11. Instead, Bremer was on MSNBC that morning, blaming Osama bin Laden for the attack and calling for the hardest possible military response. It seems unimaginable that anyone would knowingly let hundreds of their own employees die in a terrorist attack and there is no direct evidence of this.

Jerry Hauer, managing director of Kroll Associates, which controlled security at the World Trade Centre, was also interviewed that morning by Dan Rather on CBS. He explained to Rather that what we were seeing was not a controlled demolition but a collapse caused by fire. He also ruled out state involvement and said it was likely the work of Osama Bin Laden:

 Dan Rather: Based on what you know, and I recognize we’re dealing with so few facts, is it possible that just a plane crash could have collapsed these buildings, or would it have required the, sort of, prior positioning of other explosives in the, uh, in the buildings? I mean, what do you think?

Jerome Hauer: No, I, uh, my sense is just the velocity of the plane and the fact that you have a plane filled with fuel hitting that building, uh, that burned, uh, the velocity of that plane, uh, certainly, uh, uh, had an impact on the structure itself, and then the fact that it burned and you had that intense heat, uh, probably weakened the structure as well, uh, and I think it, uh, was, uh, simply the, uh, the planes hitting the buildings, and, and causing the collapse. 
.....

Dan Rather: What perspective can you give us? I mean, there have been these repeated reports that, well, yes, Osama Bin Laden, but some think he’s been over-emphasized as, as responsible for these kinds of events. I know many intelligence, uh, people at very high levels who say, listen, you can’t have these kinds of attacks without having some state, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, somebody involved. Put that into perspective for us.

Jerome Hauer: Yeah, well I’m not sure I agree that, umm, this is necessarily state-sponsored. Umm, it, as I mentioned earlier, certainly has, umm, the, uh, fingerprints of somebody like Bin Laden. 
Hauer was formerly the director of Office of Emergency Management under New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani from 1996 to 2000. The OEM had offices in WTC7 but these were moved just prior to 9/11. The center had been temporarily relocated to Pier 92 on Manhattan’s West Side, due to a FEMA drill scheduled to begin on the day after 9-11, according to statements made by Mayor Giuliani. In 2002 Hauer was appointed as head of the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), where he led the response to the anthrax attacks on government offices.

Several other senior executives and WTC tenants in the Bush clique were by good fortune not at work at the Towers that day, including Jim Pierce, cousin of President Bush, whose meeting on floor 105 of the South Tower that morning was moved the night before to the Millennium Hotel. Unfortunately 10 or more people were not informed about the venue change and perished when the planes hit.

The South Tower impact zone between floors 78 and 83 was occupied by Baseline Financial Services and Fuji Bank. Baseline's CEO Joseph Kasputys was the founder of IHS intelligence services. Kasputys was highly connected to the Department of Defence and worked for the Nixon administration. Baseline was acquired by Kasputys's Primark Corp in 1996. Primark owned Triad International Maintenance Company (TIMCO), a company that, among other things, modified Boeing 757s and 767s.

What is more interesting is the evidence of prior warnings of plans to bring down the buildings as early as 1996:

As Ryan writes: "Evidence suggests that the period of interest [in terms of access to WTC for possible demolition] should include the years between the 1993 WTC bombing and September 11th, 2001. This evidence includes the warning from 1993 bombing conspirator Nidal Ayyad, who reportedly wrote — “next time it will be more precise.” [8] Additionally, evidence of a multi-year plot included the detailed information that FBI informant and mafia kingpin Gregory Scarpa Jr. received while in jail, as early as 1996, from Al-Qaeda operative Ramzi Yousef, while imprisoned in the adjacent cell. Yousef described plans to “bring New York to its knees” by blowing up the World Trade Center with American-owned “flying massive bombs.” Scarpa Jr. provided this information to Assistant US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and FBI Counsel Valerie Caproni, who were apparently not interested. [9] Another example is the recorded conversation between FBI informant Randy Glass and Pakistani ISI agent Raja Gulum Abbas, in which Abbas claimed “Those towers are coming down”, indicating that a plan was in progress as of July 1999.
