Personally, the more the years pass the more I have come to believe that the (in)famous 'pull it' comment was deliberately conceived as a fake smoking gun to bamboozle us Troofers. If you look at the video of Larry Silverstein saying it, it is abundantly clear that he knew what he was saying, it wasn't a slip of the tongue. The result was, the Troofers went bananas, here it was, the smoking gun, controlled demolition etc.. And yet the context in which the 'pull it' comment is embedded is preposterous. Is it remotely likely that the fire chief would be having a discussion of that nature with the building owner? Do they really make such operational decisions after consulting with the building owner? I don't think so. And is it remotely likely that, even if the buildings were pre-wired with explosives, the decision to demolish would be taken so casually by the building owner on the phone to the fire chief? You just look like an idiot asserting this, which presumably was the intention. The point is, the buildings clearly were pre-wired with explosives, and Silverstein almost certainly knew this, but he almost certainly didn't have the telephone conversation he claims to have had. Other such fake smoking guns, in my opinion, include the claim made at the time of the July 7 London bombings that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been warned about the bombs that morning by Scotland Yard. If MOSSAD were behind the bombings (and who knows, maybe they were) then why would Scotland Yard be the ones to warn Netanyahu? And why only a few minutes before? And why warn him at all, does he regularly travel by Tube? By repeating this story one looks stupid and discredits the thesis that MOSSAD were involved, even though they may well have been.
