The Twin Towers were long regarded as architectural dinosaurs and economic failures by their original owners, who applied to the City of New York to have the Towers demolished, but they were denied permission to demolish the Towers for safety reasons. Larry Silverstein, who is a close friend of fellow Australian emigre Rupert Murdoch, purchased the Twin Towers with 129 million dollars of borrowed money just six weeks before 9/11/2001. Silverstein then took out Terrorism insurance on the Twin Towers, and Silverstein has now been awarded more than 4 billion dollars for the loss of the buildings.
On the PBS television documentary America Rebuilds, referring to World Trade Center building number 7, which was not struck by an airplane but nevertheless collapsed on the afternoon of 9/11/2005, Larry Silverstein said that "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." The term "pull it" used by Silverstein is a term that demolition experts commonly use in reference to the controlled demolition of a building using explosives.
Many Americans now believe that the attacks on 9/11/2001 were directly perpetrated by US President George W. Bush and his advisors, with the cooperation of the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, and the Israeli Mossad, and that a right wing political and military coup has occurred within the USA. Currently, the right wing leaders of the US government are consolidating their control of the Mainstream Media, and they are reinterpreting US laws, utilizing the post-9/11 Homeland Security Act, to allow increasing government surveillance of the personal communications, the opinions, and the movements of US citizens both at home and abroad.
The US invasion and occupation of Iraq was predicated on now-exposed lies about nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction and on an unsubstantiated threat of State-sponsored Terrorism directed by Iraq against the USA. When no evidence for Iraqi WMDs or Iraqi participation in international Terrorism was found, the US government changed its 'official reason' for invading Iraq: now the US government says that the USA invaded Iraq to "bring freedom and democracy" to Iraq.
