Show me another »

Is it true Marvin Bush (George's bro) was the head of Security for the World Trade Centers leading up to 9/11

and that a couple of weeks before the attack they removed bomb sniffing dogs from the Security detail.

Did they also clear out certain floors due to Security Drills a couple of weeks before the attacks?

No bomb sniffing dogs. Clear out certain floors. Bush's younger brother in charge of the company providing security.

Wasn't there also a link with Marvin to the Boston airport where a flight was hijacked

Why aren't the names of any of the terrorists on any of the flight logs?

Is this all true?

Hmmm, looks like they did have a way to rig the building with explosives.

For jeeper_peeper321:

George W. Bush's brother was on the board of directors of a company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for years to the Bush family.

Marvin Bush's last year on the board at Stratesec coincided with his first year on the board of HCC Insurance, formerly Houston Casualty Co., one of the insurance carriers for the WTC. He left the HCC board in November 2002.

Marvin Bush has not responded to telephone calls and e-mails for comment.

None of these connections has been looked at during the extensive investigations since 9/11. McDaniel says other personnel at Stratesec have not been questioned or debriefed by the FBI or other investigators. Walker declined to answer the same question regarding KuwAm.

The day after Bush took office in 2001 Marvin was handed a $50 million plus contract to handle security of the Twin Towers and Dulles Airport. He had absolutely no background to indicate he could handle such a contract, or the job it entailed, but this is how all the Bushes got rich, with government contracts given to them by other Bush family members. Marvin was in charge of security on 9/11 at both the WTC and Dulles. You can look it up on line, Google Marvin bush and you will find out a lot about the "other Bush brother" that absolutely no one in the press will ever discuss or talk to the Bush family about, or ask the hard questions of George W. like, "what qualifications did your brother have that gave you the right to award such a huge contract toprovide security at the WTC and Dulles airport to him?"

Have you ever heard thepress ask this tough question of W? I didn't. In fact, the press NEVER discusses Marvin, the other brother, or Neil, the thief brother.

    I say no to the conspiracy parts of Your question. As for the head of security of the WTC; From 1993 until June 2000, he was on the board of directors of the Sterling, Virginia company Stratesec (formerly known as Securacom), which had contracts to provide security for United Airlines, Dulles International Airport, and the World Trade Center. So, no to the head of security as well. He was a higher up but not head

    Actually, no. He had been a major investor in the owning corporation a few years back, and at one time was on the board of directors, but by 9/11 had no connection at all.

    Nope, it is not true.

    Marvin Bush was never the head of security at the WTC.

    Marvin Bush was on the Board of Directors, of a compnay called Securacom.

    Securacom got the $8.3 million World Trade Center security contract in October 1996 and received about $9.2 million from the WTC job from 1996 to 1998. But in 1998, the company was "excused from the project" because it could not fulfill the work, and the electronic security work at the WTC was taken over by EJ Electric, a larger contractor.

    Marvin Bush was reelected annually to Securacom's board of directors from 1993 through 1999. His final reelection was on May 25, 1999, for July 1999 to June 2000. Throughout, he also served on the company's Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, and his stock holdings grew during the period. Directors had options to purchase 25,000 shares of stock annually. In 1996, Bush acquired 53,000 shares at 52 cents per share. Shares in the 1997 IPO sold at $8.50. Records since 2000 no longer list Bush as a shareholder.

    Ex FBI Agent John O'Neill was the head of Security at the WTC, he died in the attack.

    The NYC Port Authority police were responsible for the security of the WTC, since they owned the buildings.

    Police K9 Sirius... ...was an Explosive Detection Dog with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department. Sirius, along with his partner, Police Officer David Lim, were assigned to the World Trade Center in New York, where their primary duty was to check vehicles entering the Complex, clear unattended bags and sweep areas for VIP safety...
    On the morning of September 11, 2001, Sirius and Officer Lim were at their Station located in the basement of Tower Two.

    So it seems your information is a little weak in facts.

    Do more research and get back to us.

    That's an interesting question. I didn't even know that there was speculation about that. Now I want to know. I'm going to do some research on that and get back to you.
