Is this the world's worst case
of insurance fraud... ever?

Twin Towers in New York on fire
after planes hit them on
September 11, 2001.
That's what many are saying, as the world's biggest real-estate swindler and
the world's most corrupt judge meet in a Manhattan courtroom on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday.
At issue: billions of dollars in loot from the
demolition of the World Trade Center complex
on September 11th, 2001.
World Trade Center owner Larry Silverstein - who confessed on
national television to “pulling” World Trade Center Building 7 (below video) - will appear
in the courtroom of Judge
Alvin Hellerstein at 500 Pearl St. in New
York City.
The non-jury trial, which is expected to last
three days, will decide whether Silverstein is entitled to recover $3.5
billion from airlines and airport-related companies, in addition to the $4.9
billion he has already received for his “losses” on September 11th.
The question on everyone's mind is:
Why is Silverstein claiming that
airliners destroyed his buildings, when he has already confessed to
demolishing at least one of them himself?
In the 2002 PBS documentary “America Rebuilds,”
Silverstein admitted to complicity in the controlled demolition of WTC-7, a
47-story skyscraper that dropped into its own footprint in 6.5 seconds.
The mysterious destruction of Building 7 has become the Rosetta Stone of
9/11. Virtually all independent experts who have studied the case, including
thousands of architects and engineers, agree that the government's
explanation - that a few small office fires somehow destroyed WTC-7 - is a
non-starter.
Building 7, these experts say, was obviously taken down in a
controlled demolition, as Silverstein himself admitted. (A nationwide ad
campaign called “Re-Think 9/11” will remind millions of Americans about
Building 7 this September.)
Despite his confession to demolishing his own building, Silverstein has
already received $861 million from insurers for Building 7 alone, as well as
over $4 billion for the rest of the Trade Center complex.
That $861 million
for WTC-7 was paid on the basis of Silverstein's claim that airplanes were
somehow responsible for making Building 7, which was not hit by any plane,
disappear at free-fall acceleration.
The insurance companies are not openly accusing Silverstein of insurance
fraud, presumably because doing so would threaten to demolish the 9/11
cover-up and bring down the US and Israeli governments at free-fall speed.
But they have gone so far as to call Silverstein's demand for more money
“absurd,” a considerable understatement.
The insurance companies claim that Silverstein's demands amount to “double
recovery.”
They say that Silverstein was already paid $4.9 billion - vastly
more than the paltry $115 million or so that he and his backers paid for the
complex just weeks before it was demolished - so why is he asking for
another $3.5 billion? Silverstein's answer: He needs the money.
And does he ever. He was originally demanding an extra $11 billion, before
Hellerstein capped it at $3.5 billion.
-
The insurers have not mentioned the fact that the World Trade Center Towers
were condemned for asbestos in early 2001, just months before Silverstein
bought them in July, six weeks prior to their demolition.
-
They have not
mentioned that Silverstein doubled the insurance coverage when he purchased
the Trade Center.
-
They have not mentioned that Silverstein hardballed his
insurers to change the coverage to “cash payout.”
-
They have not mentioned
that Silverstein engineered his purchase of the Trade Center through fellow
Zionist billionaire Lewis Eisenberg, Chair of the Republican National
Committee and head of the New York Port Authority.
As Christopher Bollyn
wrote in 2002:
“Silverstein and Eisenberg have both held leadership positions with the
United Jewish Appeal (UJA), a billion dollar Zionist 'charity' organization.
Silverstein is a former chairman of the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies of New York, Inc.
This is an umbrella organization
which raises hundreds of millions of dollars every year for its network of
hundreds of member Zionist agencies in the United States and Israel.”
According to Ha'aretz, Silverstein is a close friend of Israeli Prime
Minister Netanyahu. They speak on the phone every weekend.
The insurance companies have likewise neglected to mention that after
doubling his insurance coverage immediately before 9/11, Silverstein
re-doubled his winnings after 9/11 by claiming double indemnity.
According
to Silverstein's spokesman,
“the two hijacked airliners that struck the
110-story twin towers Sept. 11 were separate 'occurrences' for insurance
purposes, entitling him to collect twice on $3.6 billion of policies.”
The
bizarre double-indemnity claim was approved in 2004.
Additionally, the insurers have failed to mention that on the morning of
9/11, Silverstein and his daughter both failed to show up for their daily
breakfast at Windows on the World restaurant atop the North Tower. Both
offered flimsy pretexts - Silverstein claiming that he had suddenly
remembered a dermatologist's appointment.
How has Silverstein managed to get away with murder, in the most obvious
case of insurance fraud ever?
Thanks to his partner in crime, Judge Alvin Hellerstein.
Hellerstein's courtroom is Ground Zero in the cover-up of the crimes of
9/11. Virtually all 9/11 litigation has been funneled through his courtroom,
including
Ellen Mariani's lawsuit against,
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and others.
Like Silverstein and Eisenberg, Hellerstein is a rabid Zionist with close
ties to Israel. The judge's son and sister both emigrated from the US to
orthodox Zionist settlements in the Occupied Territories.
Investigative journalist
Christopher Bollyn writes:
“Hellerstein's son is an
Israeli lawyer who emigrated to Israel in 2001 and whose law firm works for
and with the Rothschild-funded Mossad company responsible for the 9-11
terror attacks.”
Bollyn notes that Hellerstein's son, an Israeli lawyer, represents,
“the Mossad-controlled airport security firm named International Consultants on
Targeted Security (ICTS) N.V., which is the owner of Huntleigh U.S.A., the
passenger screening company that checked the passengers that boarded the
aircraft at the key airports on 9-11.”
Additionally, Bollyn writes,
“Both Alvin Hellerstein and his son Joseph
worked for the well-known Jewish law firm of Stroock, Stroock & Lavan before
moving to the positions they now hold... Stroock, Stroock & Lavan played a
key role in the setting up of 9-11... Stroock has a long history of
representing
the Rothschilds and other high-level Zionists.”
In order to triumph, truth and justice will have to defeat the world's
wealthiest and most powerful criminal network.
