Silverstein's Group Buys Sears Tower & Now Attack on Tower Planned?
"U.S. anti-terrorism agents arrested seven people in the last two days suspected of planning attacks on federal offices in Miami and the landmark Sears Tower in Chicago, a law enforcement source said on Thursday."

1. Oh man, I didn't see that.

They are planning to steal 2008 & once they do that they'll be able to do whatever they want. It'll be like Soviet Russia, everyone knows, but no one can do anything. Now, only some of us know.
Larry's awfully well connected:

(this article has , of course been removed, but I saved some parts. They are talking about Silversteins's friends in Israel (it's the Israeli daily paper, so you can't say it's anti semite)

857&mesg_id=86239
Excerpts:
"...Two former prime ministers - Benjamin Netanyahu, who this
week called Silverstein a "friend," and Ehud Barak, whom Silverstein in the past offered a

job as his representative in Israel - also called soon after the disaster."

"Many Israeli politicians are acquainted in one degree or another with
the 70-year-old Silverstein. For 10 years, he tried to bring
about the establishment of a free-trade zone in the Negev,..."
"Harry Miller, a Vietnam War veteran, sued Silverstein, who owned the
Runway 69 dance club in Queens, for his alleged involvement in the
trafficking of heroin."
This is the lawsuit: http://members.aol.com/schwenkler/wcc/miller.htm

"The Israeli political world got to know Silverstein when he tried to create a
free-trade zone in the country. He became friendly with Yitzhak Rabin,
Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon.
Ahaz Ben Ari, ..., remembers Silverstein as being "not easy to deal with,
a hot-tempered type who spoke aggressively to the prime minister...." (How did a guy who

was born into a lower class sounding family and owned a dance club called "Runway 69" have

this kind of clout with these guys?)

Criticism of "free trade zones":
"...Peres and Beilin objected: Free-trade zones of the kind envisaged were usually created
in the Third World and had the reputation of being slave markets. The local workers
earn starvation wages, while the entrepreneurs enjoy full tax exemption and make high
profits. "
..."I told them that in the end, the zone would become a MONEY-LAUNDERING center and that
no one apart from lawyers would make a profit from it."

So, what kind of guy is Silverstein?

4. It's still on their site too.
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=97338&contrassID=3&subContrassID=0&sbSubContrassID=0

The old address was to haaretzdaily.com. That doesn't seem to be working anymore, so you just take out the 'daily', and presto.
