NY Daily News 12/7/98 Chase Banked On Nazis - Report The New York-based bank controlled by the Rockefeller family closed Jewish accounts even before the Germans ordered them to do so and did business with the Nazis while they were sending Jews to the gas chambers, Newsweek magazine reports in this weeks edition. The Downtown Lower Manhattan Association [DAVID ROCKEFELLER] and Department of City Planning [MAYOR RUDY GIULIANI], in their joint 1993 Plan for Lower Manhattan, proposed RADICALLY CULLING THE HERD OF OLDER BUILDINGS. The suggestion of even broader plazas, in place of OBSOLETE SKYSCRAPPERS, put a positive spin on an OFF-THE RECORD OBSERVATION BY THE DLMA spokesman that in order to stabilize property values, SEVERAL DOZEN DOWNTOWN OFFICE BUILDINGS WOULD SIMPLY HAVE TO BE RAZED. Page 206 Divided We Stand Eric Darton(1999) Peering Two Decades into the Furture Early in 1996, The Regiopnal Plan Association issued its third plan, officially titled (A Region at Risk). Underwritten by Chase, Chemical,Goldman Sachs,The New York Times Company, Nynex, IBM, and other corporations heavily invested in the region, the third plan following in the footsteps of its 1930s and 1968 predecessors, encompassing the thirty-one counties in and around New York City. The RPA recommended dismantling both the Port Authority and the Metropolitan Transit Authority and reconstituting thier salvageable parts in a comprehensive mega-agency; the tri-state Regional Transpotation Authority. In addition, it advocated building the network of rail links its previous plans had consigned to obsolescence--this at a cost of $25Billion; $1Billion per mile. Page 200 Divided We Stand Eric Darton (1999) AS SHOCKING AS THIS CRASH [911] WAS, WE HAD ACTUALLY PLANNED FOR JUST SUCH A CATASTROPHY.... -Rudy Page 4 Leadership Rudolph W Giuliani I went down to the scene and we set up headquarters at 75 Barkley Street, which was right there with the police commissioner, the fire commissioner, the head of emergency management, and we were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was going to collapse. And it did collapse... -Rudolph Giuliani To our knowledge, none of the [fire] chiefs present believed that a total collapse of either tower was possible.[9/11 Commission Report] But right before the south tower collapsed, I noticed a lot of people just left the lobby, and I heard we had a crew of all different people, high-level people in government, everybody was gone, almost like they had information that we didnt have.[Joseph Pfeifer, Battalion Chief (F.D.N.Y.)] Now that the second plane had hit, the command center was being evacuated—it was to near to the attacked buildings and itself be a target. After he called me about the first palane, HJoe Lhota and the director of OEM,Richie sheirer, had gone to the command center, still asuming it was a terrible accident Pages 5 and 6 Rudolph W Giuliani Leadership Within minutes of the first plane hitting the towers, the decision was made to establish two command post--one for the fire department and one for the police department. the reason for this is that the departments were going to perform different tasks and had different requirements. the fire department had to lead the rescue and evacuation. The Police department had to protect the rest of the city. As the team leading the rescue, the fire department immediately became incident commander. They set up thier command post so that they had the building in their line of sight. The police department had already begun setting up at 75 Barclay and securing the hardlines that were neeeded to communicate with the defense department and the white house, as well as albany and the governor. Page 7 Leadership Rudolph W Giulinai I wanted the police and fire commisionors and the director of OEM together to maximize communication between agencies. I also needed them ti advise me on what to tell the public. I then told the firemen that I wanted the Fire commisionor Tom Von Essen to join my group. Tom had rushed to the lobby of tower 1 after it was hit and wanted to stay there with his men. But I needed him to tell the people how to evacuate.-Rudy Page 9 Leadership Rudolph W Giuliani
