Larry Silverstein explaining what he meant by 'pull it'

RedIbis made that same "Larry profited" claim, was proven wrong, and has studiously ignored any mention of it ever since. Of course, for someone else to do the same, that would require a sense of shame, or self-awareness; the ability to even recognize that they made a mistake.
 
If truthers could recognise they've made a mistake, there wouldn't be a 9/11 truth move. In saying that, the truth movement has shrunk to insignificance, so I guess most of them can recognise they've made a mistake. I guess it's just Ibis, Clayton and MM who can't..
 
And yet I've never any tales of woe by or about Larry. Even he has marveled publicly over his good fortune. As in coming out smelling like a rose.

So Clayton thinks Larry "made out like a bandit" too. I wonder if he'll actually back that one up...
 
You obviously don't live in NYC or have never lived there, where LS's reputation precedes him:

I noticed that you didn't provide a link to that quote (surprise surprise). From that article it appears that Mayor Bloomberg sided with Silverstein. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/27/nyregion/27zero.html It appears that negotiations were also ongoing. Larry is a businessman, and there's two sides to the story here. I would say that your characterization of Larry is inconclusive. But even if correct, being a slimy businessman you think he is, I would think the last thing he would do is admit to publicly demolishing his own building.

ETA: Wasn't you that had a relative who was outmaneuvered in the business world by Larry? That would explain your bias and unrelenting, speculative criticism of Larry.
 
I guess the building of the new towers is evidence of the fact that he didn't want new towers...?


Beyond being stupendously idiotic, I'm not sure which fallacy this qualifies as... Affirming the consequent? Circular reasoning? :boggled:
 
Yea, 9-11 was perpatrated by Larry Silverstein so he could get brand new towers. Bastard!
 
Are you kidding? He wanted them to come down for fiber optics?


I think what ergo meant was, all the demolition wiring took up so much room in the conduits that squeezing fiber optic cable in there too would have been difficult.

Respectfully,
Myriad

$4.6 billion on a $124 million down payment is "not much", according to Travis.
You're on to us now. Now go out and buy a million dollar house. You can burn it down and collect on the total even though you've only made the down payment on the house. They won't expect you to rebuild. The bank won't mind. Really.

Did you get this idea from the same place you got "rubble" was a special kind of mass?


Keep it up. Your a "debunkers best weapon.

:rolleyes:

The Guess Fallacy.
They use it promiscuously.

Red is a guy that on this thread has said that you're not in danger if a building you're in collapses, so long as you step out of it onto the street in time. As soon as you do that, you're fine. :D
 
Okay, since Larry got a bunch of money for rebuilding/rent would someone from the Truther side like to speculate on why Silverstein isn't building all the new buildings (WTC7 is done and WTC4 is coming along but WTC2 and WTC3 are nothing more than plans at this point)?

Is the insinuation here that he was part of a plot to get just enough money so that ten years later he only has enough money to build the foundations of new buildings?

Really?

I'd speculate that the rebuilding took so long to get started that he found other places to invest the money. he did finance the new WTC7 which has been complete for some time.
 
I don't think the insurance companies would like their money being shifted to other projects.
