New York 9/11 truth activist Luke Rudkowski claims WTC complex owner Larry Silverstein and his daughter got a warning on the morning of 9/11 not to come to work that day - his source? - Silverstein's own security guards.

I don't doubt it, that's for sure.
What do you think?

One part of that story says that he was given forewarning, while another part says that his wife insisted that he go to a doctors appointment.
The doctors appointment suggests that he already had plans not to be at the WTC that morning anyway.
There is no story here, and anyone can make up anything they want after the fact on anything.
Where is the proof that he received this alleged warning?
There is none other than his say so.
Why is it that so many are trying to prove a conspiracy, when the only one that existed was the one that the terrorists themselves carried out?
This is nothing more than another bogus attempt to cast doubt on the established facts of the matter.
I also noticed in that article, that Silverstein's own security guards also called in a false bomb threat in an attempt to have some protesters arrested.
This does not make them look like an overly believable source for anything they would claim.

Yeah, I know, body guards, the iron workers that cleaned up the mess, people on the scene during the time 9/11 happened (eye witnesses and surviving victims)--nobody like that could possibly be credible when they have not a thing to gain by coming forward.
Were you aware ALL the evidence against Enron was in building 7?
It would do you could to take an hour to watch the on-the-scene news videos above. Maybe you will find the national news as well as your own eyes and ears credible.

All I am saying is that the story you submitted has several holes in it big enough to fly airliners through.
I know that there are a group of nutcases out there that would love to make people believe that the government was behind 9-11.
They tried the same thing with the Oklahoma bombing.
It just doesn't fly.

"We talked to their private security staff, we talked to people who were there with Larry on 9/11 - they said he got a phone call telling him not to show up to work and he called his daughter up and his daughter also never showed up to work," Rudkowski told a radio show this past weekend."
That is your source? Wow...... I have a bridge to sell you....
Totally believable, no doubt man.. pfffft. laughable.

I'm a deans list student banking strait A's in English and everything else, save one B in algebra. My profs love my satire and cynicism. And critical thinking is something you should be practicing yourself, Sir.
Even if every truth I spread is wrong, which is not the case, the fact remains that there's something very wrong with this country and it's leadership. The fact remains that people don't lie unless they have something to hide. Open your eyes, sir. The bill that just got passed yesterday puts your precious Bush as the sole power in this country. Even Congress can't save us now.
I don't care to silence you, I just don't care to engage in conversation with you. Keep adding to my discussions. You are entertaining for some...to be honest, you used to entertain me, now I just find you boring and bothersome. I provide you with links to actual news videos, you know, the news that you seem to think is the only truth in this country--news that didn't get aired or got aired so long ago that people forgot.
Open your eyes and ears. I'm tired of you attacking my intelligence and assuming that all my information comes from PrisonPlanet. Sure I get a lot from PrisonPlanet, but amazingly enough, that information came from somewhere else. CNN, BBC (who reported the fall of building 7 20 minutes before the building actually fell, btw), and many other credible resources.
I've said this before, I'm done talking to you. If you have nothing better to do besides go around behind me with no supporting evidence, then that is your perrogative. Seems like you would at least take the time to look at what I leave before you start whining about PrisonPlanet.
You have no basis for argument besides "If that were true I'd have seen it on the news."
I'm done here. Enjoy being a sheeple. You obviously like it that way.

You're not smart enough to sell a steak to a wolf.
This will be the very last time I respond to any of your nonsense. It's obvious you have not a clue to anything in the realm of realism and are simply picking at me with your cowardly no-faced sarcasm, and I don't have time for it. Good bye.

I'm curious as to whether you have ever gotten instruction regarding critical thinking or research papers?
BTW, I'm not picking at YOU, I'm picking at your ideas or your purported "facts". The article you site is clearly not reliable, it vaguely mentions this security guard in passing, offers no proof of his existence, his quote, or that this event even happened. That kind of "investigation" is exactly why Prisonplanet and sites like it are not reliable and are not valid in argument or historical analysis outside of the internet, where even Bigfoot is real.
Have a nice day.
PS. Luckily, the way forums work, your desire to silence my dissent isn't under your control, so I look forward to participating in your "interesting" discussions. :)

It would not surprise me at all. I think there is more to the story than we know.

There is a whole lot more to the story, you can bet on that. Too many "coincidences," way too many.

Most of these conspiracy theories almost always carry some substantial evidence to back them up, thats why it stands to reason that there are dark factions of the "behind the scenes government" keen to oppose the interests of our governments, internal terrorism is usually a get off scot free venture nowadays with no one being made accountable for these shadowy X-files antics.
Take a stroll through history and many other events are stained with inner politics working to the agendas of ghengis khans!!

Yes and people will still continue to believe that what is said on the news and in other media is the absolute truth, but to be in that frame of mind that not everything is truth in the world is better than being led by dodgy diverters of the truth!
As Mr mulder once said once upon a time "The truth is out there"!

Did they ever figure out who profited the most from 7/7 over there? Chance are whoever had the most to gain is the true "terrorist."
I just heard that we bombed Pearl Harbor to start it with Japan.
Wars are all about money, and the only way that we would support the war was for revenge. So they gave us something to feel revengeful for. I'm really tired of being called a nut by people who blindly believe whatever the rich elites tell them to believe.
They've done a great job of "dumbing down" a lot of people over the generations.

my question would be how could anyone not warn everyone if you knew something like that? How could anyone live with their selves if they did not try to save people?

It'll be something I'll file away in my mind as something to remember, if and when someone can prove whether it's right or wrong..completely.
Until then, I'll believe that 9/11 was something..convenient for our government, 'nuff said right?
Though no, it wouldn't surprise me too terribly if 9/11 WAS an inside job. I mean we've seen alot of the things our current government's capable of already.
Another thing I find funny is, immediately after 9/11 happened...Bush came out and said "Don't believe any of the crazy conspiracy theories", and none had even been come up with, yet.

Though I only skimmed some of my other fellow mylotian's responses here, I wanted to leave one little note for them:
A word to the wise, guys. Never completely condemn anything..if you're sure something's not what other's think it is..then believe it. But leave at least a little benefit of a doubt there, huh? It's not nice to call people names or harrass them, even if it's only minor stuff just because they believe something you don't. Kay?

Thank you, I really appreciate that, xParanoiax.
...and that's a very good point you made about Bush mentioning the theories before any were mentioned concerning 9/11...like father like son.
A few months ago when it got out that Daddy Bush had lied about his whereabouts the day Jack Kennedy was murdered (thanks to hotel records in Dallas--imagine that), he said pretty much the same things...and added something about bringing up the past does no one any good...go figure.
We've all been lied to so long that I do understand why it's easier for people to ignore this kind of thing. When I first realized almost everything I learned in History was a friggin' lie, you bet it hurt. It's easier for some people to keep living their lives and believing that our government has our best interests at heart.
I'm a redhead, I've been ridiculed before. Those that ridicule will not hinder me a bit. If nothing else, they make me want to fight harder.
Peace to you.
The truth will eventually come out.

Tsk, the boy learned some old tricks then, eh?
Ah well, everything will be plain for everyone eventually. Just a manner of wait'n and spend'n our time productively.
Though I've spent alot of time bein' harassed too, I just can't sit by when people are being pestered needlessly..so I put in my two cents here ^_^
The world's most important currency is information. Those who could control which information was believed and which weren't..they be the richest people in the world. At least in this sense..and it's always been like this. It's that since our time's have changed, and we've become mroe 'advanced', creating more and more dimentions to our lives, we've upped and upped the stakes..ever so slowly. It only makes sense that things'd get this muddled and bad sooner or later.

I think you have aquirred the virus that ligifies your brain but won't let you stop talking. Of all the nonsensical theories I have read on my lot I have to award you with the honor of haveing the most bogus unfounded theories I have read. I think it is your nature to spew out anything that comes to your mind to collect your self a following from the lunatic fringe. You are with out a doubt a nasty crude, illinformed person whose main claim to fame is being boring.

You are a very arrogant nasty person and in real life I am sure it holds true. People like you usually don't have real friends and when push comes to shove you will find your self standing alone.When your friend whinette bashed jesus you turned on him real quick. I quess your a little scared of going head to head with the god people they would get you thrown off mylot in a heart beat and then you would not have anywhere to spout your nonsense. People like you can actually be fun. You are so caught up in your own misguided importance that you are easy to get all lathered up so that you make a complete fool of your self. Like you said you had the balls to put your picture on your avatar and after seeing it, I must say it did take some balls. Now you go have a seat in the vent room and work up some come backs and we will grade you on how boring and nasty you can be.

You know you can stick your head in the sand like an ostrich and hope it goes away but that wont help. maybe standing up for yours and every one else's rights is the thing to do. What are our kids and grand kids going to say? Because we stood back and hid our heads in the sand. It's not just us that it will affect, it's their futures that are at stake.

This Silverstein guy was knee deep in crap with those buildings they were full of Asbestos. It was going to cost him 2 or 3 billion to clean them up. Instead he made that much off from them. Must be nice to invest 2 million, plus put insurance on the property that covers terrorism all in 2-3 months. And make that kind of profit off 9-11.It made him a bundle real fast.
