Tom Leppert is the Mayor of Dallas. Prior to becoming Mayor, he served as CEO of Turner Construction and he also served on the Board of Directors for Washington Mutual at the time of its seizure on September 25, 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Leppert

Tom Leppert lives in a 5 million dollar home (9525 Alva Ct) about a mile south of George W Bush. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=9525+ALVA+CT+dallas,+tx+75220&ie=UTF...

Leppert has assisted in writing parts of Presidential speeches. http://online.cmc.edu/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=777&srcid=227

There has been speculation that Tom Leppert may make a run for the Texas Senate with Hutchison retiring.

Recently, Leppert has been pushing a downtown Dallas Hotel deal which would be dynamically subsidized by the City of Dallas. Belo Corporation has a vested interest in such a move (with major real estate holdings downtown). Belo owns The Dallas Morning News and the local ABC affiliate, Channel 8. Often, there is controversy surrounding favored contractors who are associated with Leppert. http://cityhallblog.dallasnews.com/archives/tom-leppert/
The local area Ron Paul Group and others have opposed this idea of a taxpayer funded Hotel.

Without Kevin Ryan's discovery of the remarkable relationship between the common re-fireproofed floors, aircraft impact floors and failure floors, one might not have considered the role that this contract work may or may not have played in the WTCs demise.

And without James Gourley's willingness to provide substantial payment for access to the referred-to NIST records, the potential leads contained within these records might not be known.

Wikipedia says about Hochtief AG...

"...However, the company's reputation is tarnished by World War II, when it deployed forced labor on construction projects. It built the Führerbunker in Berlin, scene of Adolf Hitler's suicide, as well as Hitler's Berghof retreat and Wolf's Lair headquarters.

I'm not going to trust just wikipedia with something like this. However, Hochtief's own corporate website says...

"HOCHTIEF in the Third Reich

Eugen Vögler, the CEO, did not join the Nazi Party until 1937, which was relatively late. He also made himself available to the Party as "Führer" (leader) of the "Construction Industry Business Group" and held an honorary position in the Hitler Youth. On the other hand he protected an employee who was being persecuted as a Christian of Jewish origin.
Similarly he successfully resisted attempts by the Labor Front - the Nazis' replacement for the trades unions they had disbanded - to interfere in the company's internal affairs.

Major projects rejuvenate the construction industry
As early as March 1934 the expectations that HOCHTIEF and other construction companies had placed in a new stimulation of the construction business appeared to be fulfilled, because that was when work started on the Autobahn or super-highway network. HOCHTIEF was also involved in another major project, the national center for Nazi Party rallies in Nuremberg. In 1936 HOCHTIEF finally moved out of its offices at Pferdemarkt in Essen and into a new head office building in Rellinghauser Strasse, where it still has its headquarters. In 1937 work started on a leisure center at the beach resort of Prora, on the Baltic island of Rügen, under the title of the Nazi party slogan "Strength through Joy".

In addition to this and other buildings for the State and the Party, HOCHTIEF also built many industrial buildings. For instance a truck factory was built for the Opel company in Brandenburg in record time in 1935. From 1936 onwards the "Second 4-Year Plan" increasingly determined the speed of construction work. Then it was said that within four years the German Army would have reached combat readiness, and German industry would have to be on a war footing within four years as well. In the years that followed, orders of this kind increased at an unmistakable rate.

Construction of the "Westwall" defenses
From 1938 onwards HOCHTIEF worked on the "Westwall" line of defenses under the direction of the Nazi labor organization, the head of which, Fritz Todt (1891-1942), had been instructed in 1938 by Hitler's Air Force chief, Hermann Göring, to carry out all the construction work of relevance to war. The Todt Organization thus took charge of virtually all construction projects. Everything was regarded as "relevant to war", not only the obviously military buildings and the Westwall defenses, but also industrial buildings and traffic routes. Civilian building activity steadily declined.

Traffic routes and buildings for the Führer
Once Germany had defeated France in 1940, work started on the "Atlantic Wall", and HOCHTIEF was involved in this as well, and in "Operation Viking", which started in Norway in October 1941. HOCHTIEF also operated outside Germany, in countries that Germany had occupied and others as well: Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Poland, Hungary, Austria and even Iran. These projects mainly involved traffic routes and sometimes industrial buildings, but HOCHTIEF also worked on "buildings for the Führer" such as his mountain retreat in the Bavarian Alps, called the Berghof, his "Wolf's lair" command headquarters in Rastenburg (then in East Prussia, now Poland), and the notorious Führerbunker in Berlin.

Increasing use of forced labor
From 1939/1940 onwards HOCHTIEF employed forced laborers on its construction sites. Little is known about these projects or the men who were forced to work on them because many documents have been lost or destroyed. Another difficulty is that many of the construction projects were carried out by consortia, so it is not possible to make any reliable statement about the forced laborers whom HOCHTIEF deployed there. The information that is available can be seen in the Corporation Chronicle, which appeared in October 2000."

Everyone here has seen HBO's Band of Brothers, right?. Remember in the last episode when Easy Co. captured Hitler's Wolf's Lair. It appears that silver and gold plated retreat for Hitler, and Hitler personal Berlin bunker were built by HOCHTIEF AG, the company that acquired Turner Construction. That means that Hitler was so sure of the loyalty of Hochtief AG, he trusted his life in the hands of Hochtief AG AFTER the assassination attempt.

Now there's something I didn't expect to see when I woke up this morning. A direct connection between some of Hitler's most trusted civil engineers, and the World Trade Center 2 years prior to it's destruction.

I think I'm going to need a bit to assimilate this development.

bonsoir ,

thanks for this post. Some one had planted the explosives and we must identify the authors. For the moment I do not know who did it and why not the Turner Construction Company ? There can not be many companies who have the compétence or experience to do it with zero error !

Keep up the good work and identify the teams who planted the explosives.

PS in fact was the implosion of WTC7 an unhappy error in the timing ?

Project Paperclip was one of the very first CIA programs that was established right after the CIA was formed by the National Security Act of 1947. This project facilitated the "legal importation" of thousands of Nazi scientists, engineers, and "health professionals into the United States. They were then given plush jobs in universities, mental health fields, rocket science and a vast number of other industries. The purpose was to beat the Russians to the punch. Because of this project, the connections between former Nazi's and U.S. industry is not uncommon.

Remember William Rodriguez talking about hearing really loud noises, like heavy machines being moved around on the mid-30s floors in the north tower? Sounds like there must be a connection with Turner. Source: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2005/240605officialstory.htm
