Architect Yamasaki, WTC & how an Insider Built the Worlds Largest Illusion
![]() Why is this man smiling? Have you ever wondered how the CIA goes about constructing their buildings? Do they put out a bid request to the private sector, or do they have their own building department for such things; or do they bring in the Army Corps of Engineers? Being an agency of spies and depending on the intended use of the building being constructed (e.g. office space, or a weapons research lab), one would think the CIA need to be very careful when contracting architects, engineers and builders. If I were a spy, I would think getting my hands on the blueprints for the headquarters of the enemy would be a pretty big deal; and consequently I would carefully guard my own blueprints, not to mention the guy who drew them. The buildings used for clandestine intelligence work are undoubtedly designed and built differently than would be your average mall. This is an old and touchy subject, the relationship between the builder and the client; and it is impossible to discuss that relationship without mentioning Freemasons. I do my honest best to avoid Freemasons when it comes to 9/11; it is not necessary to discuss the masonic details which become self-evident as the veil is lifted, and I only do so now for context. However much the brotherhood’s symbolism permeates the 9/11 story, I feel scrutinizing Freemasonry is a waste of time which also tends to weaken the impact of the evidence. Too often a masonic discussion devolves into an Illuminati discussion; with the term “Illuminati” tending to lower the credibility of the person using it, an effect beneficial to perception managers eager to distract attention, assuage fears and diffuse suspicion. Nonetheless, when researching Minoru Yamasaki, I couldn’t help but think of the ancient stonemasons: Quote:
Throughout history, the people who could afford the expense of castles and cathedrals had a special relationship with the people who were able to build them. The guilds of builders were practically the only people allowed to leave the lands on which they were born. Simply put, the builders effectively became one of the powers behind the throne, the guys with the literal keys to the back door of the kingdom. Allegedly this is from whence the “Freemasons” of the 17th century sprang, with America being the jewel in their crown of accomplishments; however little actual stonework was involved in that dubious achievement. This relationship certainly exists today, with top-secret clearances required for architects and builders of today’s government strongholds, and it is this history that keeps nagging at me the more I read about Minoru Yamasaki’s pauper-to-prince success story; one that could only be written in America. Was Yamasaki groomed to construct props for a thirty-year CIA con-job? Let’s review.
Corporate Feudalism To believe the Twin Towers were synonymous with America makes no sense unless you consider multinational corporations to be as American as apple pie. There is nothing about freedom and liberty in corporatism, just ask Mussolini, and there was no louder statement of corporatism than the twin phalluses of New York City. They were not natural American icons, they were marketed American icons. They represented capitalism, big-business, big-finance, and big-government, but NOT America, yet still every celebration…excuse me, every anniversary of 9/11 is bathed in red, white and blue tears of outrage, a clear indication of a propagandist’s dig at a never-healing wound. Hold on. When I refer to “America”, what am I thinking? Am I thinking “Americans”, and when I think of Americans, am I thinking of me? I just re-read my last paragraph, and wonder what the hell was going through my mind. Of course the Twin Towers were natural American Icons; they were hollow, corrupt shells held together with flimsy, easily broken connections. All it took was the right leverage to bring them down; they were the perfect metaphor for America, and that’s precisely why they were built, to be destroyed. They were conceived at the end of WWII by men who had the world by the balls. Their audacity and arrogance knew no bounds, just look at the size of those towers! They created an absurdly out-sized effigy of America, authored a contrived story and supplied a cast of cartoon characters to burn it down. They knew we’d believe it because we believed the news reels claiming they nuked the Japs; and after they laid the Moon Landings on us, they knew we’d believe anything as long as it was on the TeeVee. Nowadays however I am convinced the towers were built as props for a decades-long scam; I have my reasons for reaching this conclusion and have touched on some of them here, however I have the researchers at LetsRoll Forums to thank for this enlightenment; they crossed the line from conspiracy theorists to historians and have discovered what I consider the keystone to uncovering the truth: for most of their lives, the towers were empty, hollow shells; and never were they “cities within the city”. The implications are strong that they were built specifically for a 9/11-type event, possibly with that very day in mind all along. This article is not about the Hollow Towers though, only a supplement to their story. When considering the towers might have been built as props in a 30-year screenplay, certain coincidences become apparent; take the Islamic connection for example. Shortly after 9/11, Slate published an article that tried (unsuccessfully) to illustrate that Osama bin Laden targeted the WTC in part because he resented the Islamic flavor of Yamasaki’s architecture; and that may well have been the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back: Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
There is a history there, and that history could have given birth to stories like the one linked below. Are these stories planted rumors designed to further confuse an already confused issue; or are they rumors borne of the overlapping history of Bin Laden Construction and of Yamasaki? Or is there any truth to it? Quote:
Regardless of the true or false rumors behind the Twin Towers, the history can’t be denied. Whatever the reasons for their being constructed and whatever the reasons for their being destroyed, their destruction DID spark a Global War On Terrorsim. Whether or not Yamasaki was an “asset”, the construction of the Twin Towers DID give pretext to another asset, Osama bin Laden to publicly declare war against the USA; giving credence to the Official Story that al Qaeda jihadists were responsible for 9/11. And finally, the destruction of the Twin Towers gave pretext to the US Military to invade the world. The whole tinny, tawdry, thirty-year tale fairly screams, “Hegelian dialectic!” Yamasaki’s tie to the CIA-backed Saudi construction industry isn’t the only coincidence when it comes to 9/11; with the Saudis, the CIA and the Bush family lies a coincidence that simply can’t be ignored; but that’s a subject best left for another time. Blast From The Past Yamasaki was a perfect mark to be manipulated. He and his family were Japanese at a time when racism was state policy and America was at war with Japan. They were vulnerable, dirt-poor, and living on skid row: Quote:
Before the war, Yamasaki’s story read like a fairy tale nightmare of Americana; if he hadn’t been in that role, America would have needed to invent him. A desperately poor son of Japanese immigrants puts himself through school during the Great Depression while living and studying in a racist country soon to be at war with the native land of his parents. He was suspected and accused of spying, yet he was allowed to design a naval station: Quote:
During WWII, when most Japanese-Americans were being rounded up and put in cages, Minoru Yamasaki was able to roam freely. Details are few as to why Yamasaki was granted freedom over so many others, but it seems he could thank the architectural firm of Smith, Hinchman and Grylls: Quote:
The accounts don’t explain HOW Smith, Hinchman and Grylls helped Yamasaki avoid internment, or why they helped him in 1942 but didn’t hire him until 1945. According to the records Yamasaki worked for Shreve, Lamb and Harmon from the late thirties until being hired by Smith, Hinchman and Grylls in 1945. The problem I have with this story is timeline. Yamasaki was a native nisei whose parents were issei living in King County, the heart of the Seattle Japanese population when evacuations began there in 1942, three years before Yamasaki's move to Detroit to work for Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls, the firm that assisted his family to avoid internment. “Public Proclamation 21” went into effect in January of 1945, so by the time Yamasaki moved to Detroit, Japanese-Americans were no longer interred. Source Who were these architects from Michigan anyway? Why would a Detroit-based firm assist a New-York based architect employed by a different firm? The story itself sounds odd. Why wouldn’t Yamasaki’s employer in New York help him? Why did Smith, Hinchman & Grylls step up to help? Was this firm like the Schindler of architectural firms? Furthermore, the Japanese population of the West Coast was generally encouraged to move east, not that folks east of California wanted them, but if Minoru was already in New York, why would he require the help of anyone to move his parents East? How much was bus fare to New York from the slums of Seattle? The more I looked at that narrative, the less sense it made so I started following the only lead I had; Smith, Hinchman & Grylls. Why is it when researching the WTC, almost everywhere I turn there’s a weapons contractor? During the Great Depression, Smith, Hinchman & Grylls almost went out of business, and during WWII they survived by building ammunition plants for the military: Quote:
Ah, an architectural firm with ties to the defense industry; that sounds about right. Perhaps I’m getting too paranoid for my own good, but I can’t imagine why an architectural firm relying on building government ammunition plants during a time of war with Japan would stick-out their necks for a Japanese-American architect employed by a competitor in another city. Call me crazy, but this story just doesn’t flow; even so, the deeper you dig the weirder it gets. It turns out Smith, Hinchman & Grylls were doing more than just building ammunition plants; they were contracted by the Department of War during the site selection process for nuclear weapon production facilities: Quote:
Well that didn’t help clear up anything at all. Yamasaki was spared internment by an architectural firm whose bread and butter were the defense industry, and later, during his employment with the firm, they were involved with the mother of all hoaxes, the Manhattan Project. But wait, there’s more: Quote:
Like a stonemason from the middle ages, Yamasaki appears to have had friends in high places. Even before the creation of the CIA, it is clear somebody up there liked him, and for whatever their reasons, they used their clout to keep his family out of a cage and give him employment in a firm with very strong ties to the military industrial complex. But talk about gratitude! After saving his family’s asses, he abandoned Smith, Hinchman & Glylls and opened his own firm in competition and in the same year went on to design the U.S. Consulate in Kobe, Japan, just four years after the end of WWII. Was he so good that he could land a gig like that in a country the US military had so recently conquered, or was he just that well-connected? I say he was the Company architect, or one of them, and he was not so much good at it as he was good and quiet about it. He would do as he was asked, and not ask questions. Arm-Twisting Quote:
Much has been written about Minoru Yamasaki, and much of it is not flattering. He was not the most respected architect in history by any means, and certainly wasn’t considered one at the time he was chosen to design the WTC. Yamasaki and Associates was a relatively unknown firm which once selected raised eyebrows, and not just because of his lack of notoriety. The firm’s experience was called into question: Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Out of the 12 firms considered, it was Yamasaki’s awarded the contract. Why Yamasaki? Quote:
Quote:
Below are some further supporting passages from the book, “
Twin Towers: The Life of New York City's World Trade Center"> ”, Rutgers University Press (November 1, 1999), Pages 46 and 47:Quote:
Well were his buildings any good? Sure, but not all of them. It turns out his buildings were no strangers to disaster; as of last count, three of his projects were destroyed by explosives and/or fire. The Pruitt-Igoe Houses project in St. Louis, Missouri was hated so badly it had to be dynamited, but what I consider the crčme de la crčme is the National Personnel Records Center in Overland, Missouri. This huge concrete building was built to house the personnel records of much of the Army and Air Force. Paper records for the Military. The building was constructed per the client’s wishes without a fire extinguisher system. No sprinklers in the hall of records and you guessed it, *poof* up in flames after multiple arson attempts, incinerating decades’ of military records in the process. Quote:
Yamasaki was right there at the beginning and the end of it all; the beginning and end of the war with Japan, the beginning of the covert colonization of the Middle East, the beginning of the CIA and the start of the Cold War. The New World Order needs its architects, after all. Here’s to Minoru Yamasaki; a guy who helped build the props used to fool the world. Again.

Re: Architect Yamasaki, WTC & how an Insider Built the Worlds Largest Illusion
I didn't get a chance to read all of the first post, but I think the initial part of it is very important where you talk about the traditional infrastructure for creating buildings for military/governments/monarchs/intelligence agencies/etc. This part is very important and makes sense.
Other research on this site has talked about some intelligence and/or military organizations having spaces within one, some, or all, of the various buildings we talk so much about on this site. I think your post helps to shed light on the concept that if the towers were built with such groups in mind, then they would have some some unusual physical properties with respect to defensive security and/or self-destruct (data wiping or containment or detainment) capabilities compared to normal architecture. And also, they would have a different connotation strategically in terms of both strength and or vulnerability compared to other buildings and locations. I think it's not hard to consider, for example, a scenario in which people who control the movement or impedement of nuclear weapons were based in one or many WTC buildings or areas nearby. In this hypothetical situation, I can imagine an event happening in which power shifts and the operations done in the building result in the decision to destroy all evidence relating to something or other. Well in some cases you can't easily destroy the evidence if the evidence is an entire building or an entire organization based in a major metropolitan city. Not unless you have a built-in mechanism to destroy the building itself intentionally if security is significantly compromised. Another hypothetical scenario is that such a location used for management of nuclear weapons movement or impedement (or any other significant espionage type of issue) is attacked by outsiders, AND blown up by it's own users at the same time. Or even intelligence civil war/"underground" warfare and double-agent types of scenarios come to mind. The thing to remember about military intelligence organizations is that they go to extremes of extremes to protect their secrets. Blowing up their own buildings or building their own buildings to be capable of self-destruct is not implausible. I think this is even more likely when considering the issue of nuclear weapons movement and impedement. Since nuclear weapon threat of usage is so extreme in what it can do to anyone and everyone far and wide and because it has such far reaching and threatening consequences, I think it's not silly to consider the act of blowing up a few buildings intentionally as a means of military intelligence self-preservation or of self-censorship. But I think it's guaranteed to be a lot more complex than that. But those I think are some elements to be considered. Infrastructure is an important part of the research. Everything about 911 reflects the unconventional nature of the elements that led up to it. I mean unconventional only in the sense that the average person who is not a 911 truther would not expect many aspects of it, technologically, medically (radiation?), as well as in terms of information management (censorship/secrecy/propaganda/psy-ops). I always wonder what the ground zero sewer systems look like before, during, and after 911. I would not want to live in NYC. God only knows what has leaked into the gas and water supplies on 911 via underground disruptions. And if not, who was responsible for blocking local systems from being contaminated and what kind of knowledge might they be hiding or quietly knowing apart from the rest of us. It goes back to what the original post alludes too---the people who understand the infrastructure of militarily sensitive buildings have a special role in all of this. Even if the WTC buildings had only financially or culturally sensitive "value" or vulnerability or security, there is such thing as corporate espionage that could possibly go to strange extremes if there is enough money or power involved. I apologize for the ways my post is vague or imprecise. But I speak this way because I don't know the specific details of what actually happened. I don't want to shut down thinking about what other possible scenarios could have happened. I think it's better to be vague so as to avoid misleading people. It's also good so that our minds are all open enough to speculate freely and clearly. Something BIG went down there, we know that much. And I think it was a complex event. And complexity usually requires infrastructure. And infrastructure requires time and a history and strategic planning. So yeah this is all interrelated in some ways. |

Re: Architect Yamasaki, WTC & how an Insider Built the Worlds Largest Illusion
I want to repost this to the David Icke forum. I wish you would do it, as reposting is a lot easier when you have access to the 'edit' function of a post. To repost this I'll have to copy and paste all the source links and quote everything etc. This should be all over the net.
Yank could you send me the source text of the post via PM? I'll post half of this and direct readers to the original at letsrollforums to read the rest of it, ensuring that letsroll gets the traffic deserved. |

Re: Architect Yamasaki, WTC & how an Insider Built the Worlds Largest Illusion
AFter WW2, America had (purportedly) recently nuked Japan, which was supposedly a preemptive strike in the name of global peace, and
then suddenly after WW2 Rockefeller wanted something to symbolize the future agenda , a World Trade center , designed by a Japanese architect. This building was conceived and created at the time when the global elite were beginning the transfer of America's automobile and industrial output to Japan and Asia (anyone remember Datsun?) The obvious consideration is that the Twin Towers themselves were built to advertise the very concept of 'World Trade' as bigger and better and richer and more powerful than any of its detractors, and who better to symbolize the new generosity of America than the Japanese architect hired to bring it forth? America had yet to apologize to Japan for nuking Nagasaki, so Yamasaki was hired to embody the new global model of world trade. So when post-WW2 opponents of the globalist agenda decried the transfer of manufacturing, wealth , and jobs first to Japan , and later the rest of Asia, they could be belittled as 'isolationist bigots' or 'rabid nationalists' attempting to thwart the "new era of global peace and harmony" to be brought about by shutting down America, and transferring and spreading its technology and manufacturing to slave colonies throughout the world. Simultaneous to this, America's secret governance commenced the mass fluoridation of the drinking water so that America could be placidly converted into the crack whore of the world.

Re: Architect Yamasaki, WTC & how an Insider Built the Worlds Largest Illusion
Nobody in the field of art and architectural in New York city could understand why this man was chosen for such a project, but his selection as TIME's 'Man of the Year' for his design of the Science Pavilion on 1962 tells the whole story. This was the benchmark of his initiation into the "community of the elect." All the signs of his propensity for Gothic architecture (some say Islamic) are evident in this cover from January 1963. ![]() To read more: Pay http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,874696,00.html#ixzz1jpqR2H6Y Last edited by vanityfair; 21 Jan 2012 at 10:17 AM.
