After almost 25 years now, there are more things we still can learn about that day. Silverstein had signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center complex just weeks before the attacks. Silverstein has stated that he typically attended meetings at the World Trade Center every morning. However, on 9/11, he did not go to the office due to a medical appointment. This detail has frequently resurfaced in documentaries, news reports, and online discussions as people revisit the events of that tragic day.
Y’all can fuck off with the boot licking, the conspiracies, the bigotry, and the ignorance.
In the title alone “This rich dickbag NEVER missed work” my ass.
Either he’s a workaholic in the most unhealthy way possible and should be shamed, not admired, or he’s an entitled lying prick who is busy “always at work” having 4 hour breakfasts at an open bar with other lying “coworkers and partners.”
Jesus Christ. This is as stupid as the idiots that believe Trump is Christian.
But he loves every quote from the bible. LOL! Did he ever say one?
He loves it all equally. cough
Bigger question, why didn’t he have breakfast there on September 12, 2001?
The truth is in there…
Elevators were out of order.
Stairs were closed too.So you mean to tell me this guy was too ELITE to just take the escalator with the rest of us working folk?
They ran out of baegles and were waiting for delivery
Windows on the World was on the top floors of the North Tower… Are you joking?
I couldn’t be more serious, brother. You want the answers, or are you afraid to know what THEY aren’t telling you?
No idea what you are going on about, lol!
sigh They are fucking with you. They weren’t serious from the start.
Going on is right, going on a truth safari, govna’
Innit?
There’s so much bad news in this timeline, but seeing Onion News owning Info Wars is for sure a highlight
Sorry to break it to you, but
You can’t change a lemmy users’ mind. No matter what, they will believe the official narrative like their lives depend on it, especially if it includes jews
He didn’t “always” have breakfast at the north tower, he had breakfast at the north tower to meet new tenants so if he didn’t need to do that, he didn’t go. He didn’t go that morning because a dermatology appointment that had been made months in advance was that morning and his wife insisted he didn’t miss it.
I think Larry is a typical billionaire, hurting those around him far and wide to increase profits but this is just another 0 effort CTRL-C/CTRL-V without any actual verification of the claim because it fits your worldview. There’s plenty to complain about him without regurgitating made up shit.
The fact that he missed work isn’t made up shit. It is well documented. That is all that is being said here.
That is all that is being said here
That’s not all that’s being implied here.
Yeah but did you see his last name? /s
I’m not one to cry antisemitism but this reminds me of the “no Jews died on 9/11” conspiracy theory that was way too big for awhile
anonymous leaker is following the great tradition of 100s of years of
freedom of speechcitizen journalismanti-jew conspiracy fantasiesleftist and rightist gonna horseshoe
Orrr, hear me out…
It could be anti-billionaire conspiracy theories.
Why do you assume his being jewish is the most important factor here, and not his being a financial oligarch? Are you assuming one implies the other?
Financial oligarchs are a problem regardless of religion or ethnicity. Also, there are lots of non-wealthy jewish people whom I don’t see being the subjects of conspiracy theories.
So why do people assume that the being jewish part is the reason for the criticism? A billionaire is a billionaire.
Look at you trying to speak for me. I am Jewish. But you didn’t know that, you can’t read minds over the internet like you think you can. You just hurled an insane accusation based on nothing. People yell antisemitism over nothing now. You just did that. You are disgusting.
Yeah but did you see his last name? /s
God dammit, I missed it. For a second I was like if this is true that’s a pretty big coincidence…
It’s always antisemitism.
I don’t necessarily think OP is antisemitic but I vividly remember similar claims that Jewish bankers took that day off. I’m also quite familiar with the prevalence of conspiracy theories involving someone with a *stein or *berg surname
Yeah I don’t even think most people spreading these myths have anything against Jewish people, but if they took the time to dig around for the source of these, I think they would find most of them have some antisemitism at their core.
It’s so fucking stupid.
Or maybe it’s the only day people noticed because it was a significant day.
Needs sources.
He technically never had lunch in the world trade center after nine eleven either
Whoa! That is a big deal if true! Source? Why isn’t anyone investigating this suspicious detail!?!?!?
Source was added.
The only day he is recorded as skipping his routine morning breakfas
Recorded.
He actually missed work. Not just breakfast.
He still was preparing for his doctor’s appointment when the first plane hit the North tower at 8:46 AM. Of course he didn’t go to work thereafter.
If he really had missed work, he would have been there.
doubt the average salaryman could afford high end breakfast every day.
The first plane hit at 8:46 AM.
Yeah no shit he missed work. If he was at a dermatology appointment first thing in the morning he wouldn’t have been there for breakfast when the planes hit. And once the second plane hit at 9:03, nobody but firemen were going back into the towers.
So he went to work every day for just over 2 months. Wow.
I mean, post covid that is kinda impressive but he did just sign a lease on some cool buildings. I’d go every day too. Of course there will be coincinces like this.
“work”
it was his favourite breakfast spot routine where he sometimes met for meetings.
That dude has likely never worked a day in his life
Of course he did. Israel gave their own citizens a heads up before they attacked
What a fucking stupid take. Yes, every single Jewish person knew ahead of time, and not only did they not tell anyone else that day, but also haven’t said anything in the subsequent decades because they’re all a hive mind, right?
I personally don’t believe 9/11 happened
It was all a conspiracy
/s
How can they think we’d believe planes exist
/S
pretty sus. clearly larry silverstein did 9/11
He was the pilot
He was flying the towers!
He’s rich enough that nobody’s taking his attendance.
Wasn’t there a guy who worked there and told his wife he was at work while visiting the mistress on that day? And she later divorced him?
Urban legend or…
She was flying the plane
The real mastermind, Osama Bin Cheating
The Manhattan institute is chaired by Betsy DeVos and is actively responsible for most of the bad things happening in USA currently, FYI. doesn’t necessarily mean the information is wrong.
It took about seven years for all the billionaires and insurance companies and lawyers to decide who owed what to whom.
It took about 30 seconds to decide to start killing brown people.
It basically was an immediate attack wasn’t it? What investigation led to the attack on them?
uh…not to be a pain, but they attacked the one country that had nothing to do with 9/11.
it was Saudi Arabia, with Bin Laden coordinating from Pakistan. But we can’t attack investors.
They were already there they started capturing and killing known enemies immediately it ramped up as military logistics ramped up. John Kiriakou has spoken a fair bit about the days weeks and months after 9/11 on the podcast circuit.
What are you talking about?
Here’s the top answer to ‘legal problems caused by WTC attacks’
The war on brown people speaks for itself.
Oh, gotcha. It led to all the Middle Eastern hate after it. I was talking about how quick the U.S. was to attack the people right after.
US military involvement in the middle east didn’t start on 9/11
white people are such fucking bullies. spent decades fucking around the global stage, doing whatever the fuck they want, wars, stealing resources, destabilising democracies for puppet dictators. then when they history begins the moment consequences happen.
Not going to justify terror attacks, but it wasn’t because Bin Laden was mad that Americans had freedom and Jesus.
Yeah, I’m sure the problem is “white people” and not “billionaires, the capitalist system, and nation-state actors who are willing to enforce austerity on the poor in order to boost margins for the financial oligarchs.”
Why fix capitalism and oligarchy, when you could fix whiteness instead?
I swear, you’re just giving ammunition to the “white genocide” and “great replacement” conspiracy theorists when you say shit like that.
Those are problems too. but we need some serious antiracism work. There is a reason my local DSA chapter, despite a town that is half black, is exclusively white and does jack shit.
Unless we solve white people’s racism, even the not Billionaires, nothing will be done.
Yes, I’m sure those DSA members are all racists and it’s not the PoCs refusing to work with white people if it means cooperation instead of grandstanding to win the oppression olympics.
They might be able to get more done with, you know, more voter support? That’s kinda what it takes in a democracy to have any political influence.
Who do the black people in your town vote for?
white people are such fucking bullies
Ah yes, the Great White Monilith. Our power is unmatched. Give us enough time and we shall meld into one, great Super White and bully the stars!
yes, it fucking is.
even poor white people are enjoying privilege of colonialism. And like you said, don’t give a fuck.
“He’s privileged to be living under a bridge in a moldy jacket because he’s white.”
No time for this idiot logic.
Shut the fuck up
Well, Osama bin Laden publicly taking credit for the attack was a big part.
He was known to be in Afghanistan, known to be part of al-Qaeda, and the Taliban was known to be sheltering and supporting Al-Qaeda.
The Taliban was the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan, which isn’t they were never declared a terrorist organization. When they outright said they would not extradite bin Laden to the US and openly refused to shut down terrorist bases or extradite other terrorists, the US invaded.
Don’t let the clusterfuck of the politics around Iraq cloud the invasion of Afghanistan. That one was extremely straightforward. The government of Afghanistan harbored and sheltered bin Laden, who very publicly claimed credit for 9/11, and then refused to do anything about it afterward.
He was known to be in Afghanistan
Except he was in Pakistan. We were told he was in Afghanistan.
He was absolutely confirmed to be in Afghanistan until the battle of Tora Bora, when he fled to Pakistan.
A side note-don’t you think a terrorist would want credit for that even if they were not involved at all?
Sure. But it fit his MO and other intelligence data, so there’s no reason to doubt the claim.
Trying to replace a secret conspiracy with a different secret conspiracy that involves faking a secret conspiracy is just overly complicated for no reason, and only distracts from the actual issues around the cause of 9/11.
But no, it was definitely not the case that our intelligence services failed to evaluate a novel threat correctly, failed to properly prioritize it as a result which caused delayed responses, and that our air defense system was caught flat footed because the US is essentially isolated so readiness isn’t a priority.
Definitely not. If anything, the whole thing is actually evidence that the US is so competent that the whole thing can be nearly flawlessly faked. Except for that one building they blew up over the open radio broadcast for no real reason.
