People Could Have Planted Bombs In the World Trade Center Without Anyone Noticing

[James Lewis]

Actually, the book I reference doesn't posit Iraqi oil as the reason for the attacks at all. It suggests that the actual motive for the attacks went back quite a bit further than PNAC and others have suggested. It has to do with gold trading and money laundering investigations that would have traced directly back to George H. W. Bush, the Iran-Contra gang, and the destabilization of the Soviet ruble that helped lead to the fall of the Soviet Union. That's why floors 23 and 24 of the North Tower were said to have had multiple explosions and fires before the buildings collapsed, because those floors housed the FBI and a securities firm, Cantor Fitzgerald, who were investigating those crimes and also investigating massive money and gold laundering that also involved Bush I and the Iran-Contra gang. When you consider the size of the fraud involved, and the people allegedly involved, you get a good sense of why those particular floors were targeted.

It also gives a very plausible reason why Building 7 was brought down - because Building 7 housed evidence of multiple investigations into the aforementioned frauds. Remember, Customs workers were told to stay home on September 11, much the same as the ATF were told to stay home the day of the Oklahoma City bombing - which the official version doesn't adequately explain. Heidner posits that Flight 93 was originally bound for Building 7, and when it didn't get there, they had to go ahead and "pull" it.
