(:Quote from criminal complaint:)
He?ll give you something now and you make the run off and he?ll
keep contributing to you, to your success.? The CW added, ?Run
off or you get elected, or both, I told [JC Official 1] I?ll do
the $5,000 now and then 5 after the run off and then after the
election, just don?t put my name anywhere or anything like that.?
Defendant HARVEY SMITH said, ?I can only put the name on the
check that is, who the check?s coming from.? JC Official 1 then
made clear to defendant HARVEY SMITH: ?There is no check. There
is no check. There is no check.? The CW stated, ?We don?t want
to have any conflicts . . .? Defendant HARVEY SMITH responded,
?I understand and that?s going to be difficult for me to deal
with.? The CW said, ?Deal with [JC Official 1] on it.? JC
Official 1 added to defendant HARVEY SMITH, ?That?s why we want
to make sure you go through [defendant] Rich [GREENE].? We have
to figure out a way that we put a contribution like that into,
um, we have to come up with checks, because . . . .? JC Official
1 said, ?We?ll deal with it.? At the conclusion of the meeting,
defendant HARVEY SMITH told the CW, ?I appreciate this
opportunity.?
8. As defendant HARVEY SMITH and the CW were leaving the
restaurant, the CW said, ?So, I?m going to handle everything
through [JC Official 1],? to which defendant HARVEY SMITH
replied, ?I understand.? The CW said, ?Just don?t put my name on
nothing,? to which defendant HARVEY SMITH again replied, ?I
understand.? The CW said, ?Just give me your word that your
going to expedite my stuff,? and defendant HARVEY SMITH said: ?I
don?t do quid pro quos. [JC Official 1] will tell you how I
operate,? and laughed.(:end Quote:)



To me this is proof of how developers do business in JC and they should be held accountable for facilitating in the corruption of our elected officials and those running for mayor

FOR EXAMPLE 110-111 first street and POWER HOUSE ARTS DISTRICT (PHAD)
With Healy and Vega as council members and Healy running for mayor, closed door deals were made which decided the fate of two historic buildings, and the entire PHAD ordinance.

PERFECT TIMING.
voting for historic designation, the PHAD ordinance, and the new mayor were all happening around the same time, this was the perfect oppertunity for a developer to offer a favor for a favor.

LAWSUTE LOST and LAWS CHANGED
The lawsute was lost because members of the board voted with EXPIRED TERMS. There was NO ACCOUNTABILITY for this. They could have re-enstated the expired term members and re voted but Healy just let it go. Can you guss why? Now the owner of 110-111 first street has his own personal zoning eliminating him from all the laws and restrictions of the PHAD ordinance.

CONTINUING LITIGATION
Now the condo owners in the PHAD are left to fight it out because other developers like TOLL BROTHERS want the same thing. I hope the feds are able to put 2 and 2 together to confirm that corruption was evident during and after the election of Mayor Healy.

MR HEALY, YOUR HANDS ARE DIRTY, the only way to clean them is to STEP DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PLEASE EVERYONE ATTEND THE CITY HALL MEETING AND SHOW YOUR CONCERN.

Very interesting, I heard about his mansion upstate but never heard about two homes in Brazil. This sounds like the perfect way for developers to compinsate for favors, no checks to trace. I wonder if the big boss (Healy) has been gifted property out of state?

So now all of those ridiculous Council votes on abatements and extending abatements are easier to understand. This small batch of evidence of their wrongdoing is bad enough but imagine the amount of influence they have sold over the years.


YES!! and even more than that they CHANGED ZONING LAWS for developers. It drives me crazy when i think of the Power House Arts District and how corrupt everything was during a crucial time for this district. this battle was lost because Healy allowed members of the board to vote with EXPIRED TERMS!!! How did they get away with this? all the zoning laws they changed since Healy took office should be revisited and possibly revearsed.

Was anyone at these city council meetings for PHAD and historic designation right before Healys first election? I was there and i remember when it came time for Healy to vote he said in these exact words ("I dont know how this is going to work, but i vote yes.) how did he already know it's not going to work? obviously he was already in the developers(Lloyd Goldmans) pocket. As a result the developer now has his own personal zoning excluding him from all PHAD restrictions. This vote is on video somewhere. I hope the FBI is curious enough to look into this because i think this is where the corruption relly kicked in for Healy, Vega, and many others directly involved in this subject.

I wish they\'d hurry up with this project (and address that empty lot across Washington).

For those of you new to the area, this Empty lot was home to the BIGGEST art community in the state and was the inspiration for the entire concept for the district and the name \"Powerhouse Arts District\" until our new mayor allowed the developer to evict all the artist and demolish 2 huge HISTORIC buildings 110- 111 1st street. Learn more about the arts district we HAD. www.111first.org

There will be no more Artist Studio tour at Canco. this city needs to stop relying on other land owners to create this point of destination and stick to the plan. Use the powerhouse for Art and Music and create the entertainment district this growing city NEEDS!

Although, with this ruling, i'm sure they're all gonna come running. this council just opened a can of worms.

I Agree 100% they just did it for canco lofts,now all the developers are going to want the same deal, disgusting!!!

"We'd like to consider an amnesty program to recognize them (the landlords with illegal apartments) and have them increase their tax payments to the city," Healy said during an interview last week. "There are literally thousands (of illegal apartments) out there. It will bring in a significant about of money to the city's coffers."


SO, Illegal is OK as long as the city makes more money!

*&#@*AMAZING!

If they are concerned about density STOP allowing beautiful one family homes to be turned into 3-4 family condos. It is becoming IMPOSSIBLE to raise a family of 2 or 3 children here without living like a sardine. That's a shame.

Just can't stay away


If you can\'t participate on this subject without getting personal and calling names, then maybe the webmaster
should ban you? --- naa, your entitled to your oppinion,
just like i\'m entitled to mine. Flame on numbnuts.

I am not an activist. this movie was sent to me by a friend
who is also not an activist. I thought it was interesting
enuogh to share it on JC list, so i did. The website i posted
came from googling Larry Silverstein.


Here are a couple of quotes from the website you posted.

G\'Day Russ.

I worked for many years in \"Fire Assay\"...that is melting stuff in 1300c firnaces to see what was in them.

I also transfered into Shotfiring where I got to blow things up on a regular basis including packing plastic type explosive - \"Power Gel\" - around objects to blast them apart and make the way clear for large vehicles.

You soon learn the power of explosives as you can make them cut like a knife through objects of any sought.

Anyway...i watched that building fall. What cant be explained to me is it\'s symmetrical collapse. How could metal POSSIBLY fail in such a symmetrical fashion? I note that the central core went first as is evident by the video and the \"penthous\" failing first.

I know what heat does Russ. I know that a few fires, which were only just visible, whether fueled by a bit of deisel or not, are EXTREMELY unlikely to \"weaken\" support core structures to that extent in THAT short a time.

Large metal beams can dissapait heat easily. If it was that easy to \"melt\" or \"weaken\" metal to such a point then I guess we can dispense with the well insulated metal furnaces i used to use and the high pressure natural gas feed and just chuck some deisel on top of the samples I used to melt.

Please keep your arrogant and paternalistic tone to yourself.

You find the fact that finding out how such a large metal structure collapsed...is somehow a waste of time and bothersome?

I guess you must work at NASA as they seem to have the same attitude when it comes to probing into the causes of things.

I am interested in hearing from people involved in the metal trade, particularly those involved in fatuige testing metal materials...if they come here.

I appreciate your input Russ but can you please bottle the paternalistic tone.

I want to know how that building collapsed. We saw other buildings TRASHED by WTC debris which were kind enough to remain standing and indeed retain there structural integrity enough to be rebuilt.

I know what the heat requirements are to weaken metal and join points.

And as for your claim that the reports mentioned 5-6 floors had CRITICAL structural members which were on fire, this in NO way explains the symetrical and catastrophic collapse of WTC 7. In NO WAY does this explain it.

In fact they cant explain it Russ. Thats the point. All your arguments are null and void as in the end the reports DO NOT claim to know the cause.

\"They\" cannot help. Can anyone else here?



Building 7 & Firefighter reports.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Russ,

This is off point but it is one you have made with some certainty.

You claim fire fighters in Building 7 reported that the fires were such that the building was in danger of collapsing.

Fine.

You seem to trust the opinion of firefighters.

In that case we seem to have a problem of sorts with your logic.

It is WELL reported and ON THE RECORD that firefighters in the towers reported small fires that would be easily contained and extinguished. It is also ON THE RECORD that not ONE firefighter believed there was ANY chance of those buildings collapsing. Minutes later the first of the Towers suffered a catastrophic collapse.

Which will it be?

Or will you simply be picking and choosing your line of thought to suit yourself?

And by the way...i do not appreciate being accused of being a \"whacky conspiricy theorist\" because I WANT TO KNOW how those buildings collapsed. ESPECIALLY BUILDING 7.

And why we\'re on the subject of fire fighters opinions, you are aware of the fact the the premiere firefighting magazine called the report...\"a half baked farce\".

I demand answers. Thats why I\'m here.

And here I edit again...to question your logic...what exactly was burning in those buildings to make large steel girders buckle? To make bolts the size of my fist and weld joints split and crack? Carpet? Wooden furniture? Deisel?

Diesel is a relatively LOW volatility fuel but if it were feeding those fires we would have seen a fire ball in short order...agreed? Or is there some other laws of the Universe you wish to postulate?

As for Building 7 being PELTED by debris...please direct me to the photographs and video showing large scale structural damage to Building 7?

I dont know what you rqualifacations are Russ but mine are pretty good. Especially the qualifacation as a free thinking human with an expansive frontal lobe able to spot \"over intellectualized bulldust\" when I see it.

How about a review on this book from the website you posted, and this is just one of them.



Tired, Debunked Garbage., 15 May 2007
By JezSmitty - See all my reviews

Are we still on the subject of PM's failed debunking attempt? Apparently defenders of the official conspiracy theory don't read the material written by the 9/11 Truth Movement. If they did, they'd realise that this book (which is essentially an expansion of their original article from 2005) has been thoroughly eviscerated by Jim Hoffman, David Ray Griffin, Steven E. Jones and many others within the 9/11 researcher community.

Focusing on theories that even the majority of the 9/11 "Truthers" don't accept, this book is a fine example of using straw-man tactics to discredit an otherwise solid argument. It is cover-to-cover circular reasoning and throughout we are presented with an almost zealot-like mentality against anyone who dares question the official fable.

Appealing to the emotions of the reader is rampant in this book, namely evoking the guilt of researchers by assuring us that questioning 9/11 is a direct insult to those who have lost loved ones.

The free-fall speed of the WTC collapses are glossed over here, as they were in NIST's report of the collapses. Apparently it's no big shake to have steel and concrete crashing through steel and concrete at the same speed as it would fall through thin air - in a vacuum! i.e. with no resistance even from the air itself. This is perfectly plausible when explosive demolition is considered, and this is the only plausible explanation. PM apparently believe that Al Qaeda are capable of suspending the laws of nature, such as the Conservation of Momentum, and Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies. Picture the scene: a huge truck is parked at the traffic lights, and a small sports car comes speeding up behind it, and crashes directly into the back of it. Will the sports car continue moving forward at the same speed? According to PM, YES!

The free-fall speed of the collapses, the molten steel observed in the basements of all three buildings (the Towers and WTC7 - which you've probably never heard of), the squibs, the horizontal ejections of steel girders for hundreds of feet, the pulverization of most of the buildings' non-metallic content...all of these things are subjected to PM's "begging the question" time and time again, with no real answer offered.

All of the anomalies of the collapses can be explained in one fell swoop if you consider the controlled demolition hypothesis. But according to PM, the obvious and most testable explanation can't be correct, because it doesn't fit into their pre-determined conclusions, the conclusions that were no doubt enforced by those who performed what one employee of PM described as a "hostile takeover".

All of the staff were replaced immediately before the original 2005 article was written, and have apparently remained in place for this new book. The head of this new team is Benjamin Chertoff, the cousin of Michael Chertoff, the current head of Homeland Security in the U.S - an institution that could never have existed without 9/11. The conflict of interest is quite staggering.

Popular Mechanics is owned by Hearst Publishing. Hearst Publishing are the originators of the term "Yellow Journalism". Need I say more?

Read this book, by all means. It will at least give you some insight into how baseless and absurd the official conspiracy theory is. When you're done reading it, check out a few of the direct responses to this book by people like David Ray Griffin and Jim Hoffman. I highly recommend Griffin's "Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory". This book directly challenges "Debunking 9/11 Myths" plus many other publications/reports on the attack.

"Debunking 9/11 Myths" in a word: shameful.

No need to get personal and call names. I posted this movie
because i thought it was interesting, not to focus on 911.

We all saw the same thing that horrible day. the dispute
over how/why it hapened is not something i made up, but
has been debated by building and demo professionals,
scientist and on and on, and the conclusion is not so cut
and dry, with many questions unanswered.

WTC and building 7 are the only steel structures in history
to fail from a fire.

scientist or the government can still not explain how huge
steel jet engins that cannot be vaporized by jet fuel are
nowhere to be found, in the pentagon and in PA.

It is documented history that in the past the government has manufactured a disaster in order to get public approval to go to war.

I know it sounds insane to think our government had anything to do with this, but do you relly believe everything
President Bush is telling you.

Until there is solid answers, I will keep an open mind.

I started filming from the waterfront after the planes hit
using a broadcast quality camara zoomed in on the towers.
When i got home and watched it on my big screen tv, i
was shocked to see people jumping /falling from the building
and at one point there is a huge explosion inside that blows out windows, a big fireball comes out , and then a body comes flying out from the force. this is long after both
planes hit. I remember thinking to myself wtf was in those
offices that would explode like that.

And for the record its Larry Silverstein not Silverman.
