For the record, I have been following terrorist attacks long before 9/11. I can still remember when many where calling Israel the most paranoid nation on Earth before this occurred. Just b/c Al Qadea attacked a place that was much highere and killed more doesn't make it special. The safety modifications that FEMA spoke of shortly after the attacks was not only for building something totally different. They didn't attack them b/c of their height it was b/c of what they stood for, which was world peace according to Minorou Yamasaki. I find it ironic that even Osama bin Laden knew what they stood for even more than what former Governor George Pataki did. Don't be surprised if there comes a recording where he thanks the governors for building something less like the FT if that gets built. BTW, I would place back that sandcastle that a bully knocked over as well as that pile of paper to show that they cannot keep me scared just like how much I would want the Twins rebuilt to show defiance against fear.

So steel is finally but barely passing street level. How are you guys over in the TTA going to celebrate? I'd say consider Gardners plans for twin towerts as good as dead now with physical evidence to say so.

My guess is the usual, over dramatic "press release" reading far too much into things while gushing about the Twin Towers as if they were the most important things ever. Probably around the theme "if we had our way, they'd be topped out now!"

I can't believe this thread is still going.

When will they finally give up, when the tenants start moving in perhaps...

Or maybe the advocacy group will lobby to have the Twin Towers built somewhere close by.

Or what will actually happen is that they will have to create an alternate reality forum for these kinds of threads.

Once again, a bunch of FT Fanatics gang up on me and go many against one to think that I am scared of them, but I am not. Where I come from, outnumbered does not equal outmatched, especially when one has the facts to back their claim. A very important reminder here that has to be said. I am not affiliated with the TTA in any way or form hence I am not even their secretary. For the record, nobody seeked Margaret Donnovan or Richard Hughes to form that group, they did it on their own, though they were involved with wanting the Twins rebuilt for a long time with that when they launched an earlier website that I don't know the name of right now. The same thing is the fact that I am not affiliated with TTT or the WTCRM either. In other words, I have been representing myself all these years. As for that foundation, the core is not completed despite the claim that it is said to be above grade level when in fact it is still just below, while one of the steel beams was slightly raised even though part of the core just peaks there. In other words, what some claimed over at SSP as a said day for me turnned into a humilating day for them in which I once again get the last laugh here, especially since it's at them for being totally wrong on it already rising when it's not.

Well I should hope you are not scared... that would be kinda pathetic to be afraid of someone or ( a gang) of folks on the internet. I think more or less were just kicking the sand up in your face. No, its not that nice, but dude you shoulda realized this time would come. I remember a time not too long ago when you mentioned the TTA thriving on any delay. Well most of us here want to see these towers built and at those remarks were not too far off from what I said. You wanna see delays, I wanna see it built.. only one of us is going to get what they want.


"while one of the steel beams was slightly raised even though part of the core just peaks there."

So doesn't that mean its now seen above street level? What did I say? You keep talking about last laughs... odd. You know its coming.. In the end you know deep down that that "last laugh" as you say, that is sooo important to you is going to be on the other side. I'll drink to the day I get chuckle at the TTA with a wtc built. You cannot deny its moving and there is nowhere else to go but up at this point. U lose.

http://www.twintowersalliance.com/petition/bulletins
5/23/08 — If You See Something, Say Something… The post-9/11 dictum is sadly ironic advice. It recognizes that the only way we will be able to defeat the terrorists’ threat to our way of life is through an engaged population. But the brazen disregard for what most of us have always wanted for Ground Zero has sent a different message: If you see something, don’t bother saying something, because no one in power is listening or cares. So disengage and leave everything to us.

At first I preferred to have an equivalent twin towers take it's place.

But when it became apparent it's not going to happen there was no point in rooting for it anymore.

And then we have to accept whether we like it or not what is actually going to be built, which isn't actually all that disappointing.

Instead of supporting a lost cause you should instead take on a position of objecting and not liking what is actually going to be built, but at the same time recognize that the possibility of what you would like is gone.

Nobody said you had to like what is going to actually be built, you are free to hate it and be disappointed.

If you don't like what this thread is pointing out, then don't even click on it. It's not like anyone is forcing you to look at it. If you want to ramble on about how much you like the official plan, then go to those threads instead of this one. I take it was a slow week, or you had to come here b/c you lost a bet over at SSP and the looser had to come here and attack me on it. BTW, I do know what you have posted about me over on SSP when the WTC section was shown to everyone until it was covered up again. My guess was that I was getting wise on those insults, and you had it covered again, so that you and other FT Fanatics can say those stereotypes w/o me noticing them.

Exactly. The Twin Towers will NOT be rebuilt. To contend otherwise isn't just naive, it's delusional.
