30. and gold

I read one eyewitness report a lot of years ago that gold bars were taken out of the underfloors of bldg. 7 and hauled away shortly after one or both the towers were hit. He specifically identified it as a theft.

And I ran across this lengthy interview yesterday, which mentions that the U.S. owed China a bunch of gold from back in the 1930s (I believe that was what the lengthy article said), and we were supposed to start shipping it back to China on September 12, 2001. They also mentioned (reminded me) that Bush's brother was in charge of security (and I also recall that there was something about the insurance that had transpired shortly before the event as well).

Anyway, this interview said that the gold was shipped to Paraguay. http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog/995-lawsuit-end-tyranny

I'm not endorsing the article -- it comes from a source I am not thoroughly comfortable with, which doesn't in my mind prejudice absolutely everything on the site. So I simply offer this as a matter of interest, nothing else.

I accept the eyewitness accounts of massive structural damage and multiple large fires hack89 Dec 2011 #31
You are more accepting than is FEMA or NIST Ace Acme Dec 2013 #39
Care to substantiate that statement. hack89 Dec 2013 #42
I'm saying FEMA did not quote any of those statements, nor did NIST. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #44
