Twin Towers

The Twin Towers were white elephants that their owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, had wanted to demolish for years but could not as the buildings were loaded with asbestos that would have cost millions to remove.

Among other issues, the buildings were not wired for WIFI and the occupancy rate was below 50%. Why on earth would anyone want to lease these antiquated pieces of trash properties?

Why indeed?

In January 2001, Silverstein made a $3.2 billion bid to lease-purchase the World Trade Center complex. Silverstein's negotiated bid was finalized on July 24, 2001, less than 2 months prior to 9/11.

The Port Authority agreed to lease the twin towers to Larry Silverstein and he agreed to pay the equivalent of $3.2 billion over the next 99 years. This was the first time in the complex's 31-year history that it had changed management.

The lease agreement applied to One, Two, Four, and Five World Trade Center, and about 425,000 square feet of retail space. Silverstein put up just $14 million of his own money to secure the deal. The agreement gave Silverstein, as leaseholder, the right and the obligation to rebuild the structures if destroyed.

The insurance policies for World Trade Center buildings WTC 1. 2, 4 and 5 had a collective face amount of $3.55 billion and the insurance policy he took out included protection against terrorist attacks.

JB COMMENTS:

I think we can all agree with one thing.

We all remember where we were when we heard that the Twin Towers had been attacked.

Same as when we first heard about Princess Diana being killed. Elvis Presley's announced death. The shooting of JF Kennedy and maybe even when our Queens death was announced.

The one thing that many share is the belief that the Twin Towers were NOT brought down by planes at all but were deliberately demolished and the evidence is compelling.

We have our own UK based conspiracy theories surrounding anything and everything and one floating around is the conspiracy that the Prime Minister who is actually Hindu and the Mayor of London being Muslim, and the conspiracy is that Muslims want to turn the UK into a Muslim country ran by Shia Law and when you see how we - the people of the UK - and mostly those in powerful positions, allow, permit, even encourage open displays of Muslim prayer in the streets - and even in our own Christian churches and cathedrals - and this insane conspiracy is real and happening every day around us and sadly - too many just sit and pick their noses and do fuck all about it and we hand it to them on a plate.

If you cannot see what is happening - If you really do assume things are as they always were - If you think you understand what is going on and there is nothing to worry about, then you are in for one almighty fall one day.

SOMETHING TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD

I went to Walmart today, and I was there for literally 5 minutes.

When I came out there was a state trooper writing a parking ticket for being in a handicapped spot.

So I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked cop. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for worn tires!

So I then asked him if his psychiatrist makes him lie face down on the couch cause he's so ugly.

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!

This went on until he had placed 5 tickets on the Windshield... the more I insulted him, the more tickets he wrote.

I didn't care.

My car was parked around the corner.
