"When former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was asked about World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7), he claimed that he had never heard of it. This was despite the unprecedented destruction of that 47-story building and its relationship to the events of 9/11 that shaped Rumsfelds career..."
"The one major tenant of WTC 7 was Salomon Smith Barney (SSB), the company that occupied 37 of the 47 floors in WTC 7. A little discussed fact is that Rumsfeld was the chairman of the SSB advisory board and Dick Cheney was a board member as well.
"Rumsfeld had served as chairman of the SSB advisory board since its inception in 1999.
"According to the financial disclosures he made in his nomination process, during the same period Rumsfeld had also been a paid consultant to the Director of Central Intelligence, George Tenet.
"Rumsfeld and Cheney had to resign from their CIA and SSB positions in 2001 when they were confirmed as members of George W. Bushs cabinet."
It may be we'll never find consensus on the Physics of WTC7, but I don't think that implies the level of corruption, deceit, and incompetence of those charged with protecting America on 911 should go without examination.
I'm positive if Al Gore's brother had been governor of Florida in 2000, Gore's Secretary of Defense would have been crucified by 9/12/2001, and rightfully so.
Maybe Rummie's the low-hanging fruit when it comes to picking apart the real 911 Conspiracy?
"Considering all of this, Rumsfelds claim that he had never heard of WTC 7 is not believable. It does not reconcile with the facts about the positions he held and those of his colleagues and subordinates.
"It certainly doesnt reconcile with the fact that Rudy Giuliani gave Rumsfeld a personal tour of Ground Zero just two months after the attacks.
"Surely Rumsfeld noticed the huge pile of still-smoking rubble that was once the building where Giulianis 23rd-floor emergency bunker was housed.
"They were photographed standing right across the street from it.
"Rumsfeld was the chairman of the advisory board for a company that occupied nearly the entirety of WTC 7. On 9/11 he led the DODanother tenant of the building. Explosive disposal units from both the Army and the Navy (DOD entities) were scheduled to meet in WTC 7 on the morning of 9/11, ostensibly to discuss terrorism.
"A DOD-sponsored terrorism exercise was scheduled for that morning in the same area.
"Moreover, Rumsfelds long-time business associate Peter Janson ran AMEC Construction, a company hired to clean-up the debris at the WTC complex (after having renovated the exact area where Flight 77 was said to have hit the Pentagon)."
