Securacom, installed security systems (and at that were released from their contract because they were not going to be able to finish the job on their
own),
There is controversy on this point. Margie Burns first wrote that they had a contract up until the towers came down, while later she said that they
did indeed stop before. I think that further investigation is necessary in order to ascertain what truly happened. Then, ofcourse, there is also the
many 'jewish art students', the same type as the ones caught with enough explosives to take down a bridge but then released, who were there,
apparently illegaly, and yet very well trained to escape detection of their being their illegally. This was all mentioned in another thread...

they didnt provide security for the complex.
Last I checked, a company that installs security systems to a complex is providing security to that complex. I think you're focusing solely on
manpower, which is only one aspect of security. Securacom was clearly given a lot of access to the complex, as I go into later in this post. I'd
wager that between them and the "art students", plus the power down the weekend before 9/11 to fit in the detonators or what not, they were able to
rig those buildings up to go off the way they did.

In addition, Marvin Bush left the company in 2000.....before his brother was even nominated for President
Yes, I know, he left in 2000. However, remember who owned a significant amount of shares of Securacom/Stratesec: Kuwam. From Margie Burns' article
Family Business at the Watergate:
In 1996, KuwAm owned 90 percent of Securacom, directly or through partnerships with names like "Special Situations Investment Holdings" and
"Fifth Floor Company for General Trading and Contracting." KuwAm owned 31 percent of Securacom in 1998 and 47 percent of Stratesec in 1999.
Margie Burns makes no mention of what it owned in 2000, or 2001. I find it interesting that Stratesec went bankrupt in 2002, however; if one considers
the possibility that its main use was to pull off various aspects of 9/11, it stands to reason that it would have outllived its usefulness after that
date. From the same article:
Stratesec, which was de-listed on the American Stock Exchange in the fall of 2002 and went bankrupt,...

(for those of you in the "Bush Crime Family sect". In normal operations, the Board of Directors do not conduct day to day decision making for the
companies they sit on the boards of.
Perhaps that's true, but it doesn't apply in this case. Once more from the aforementioned article:
The boards and shareholders of the three companies—the investment firm KuwAm, the security company Stratesec, and the aircraft company Aviation
General—were tightly connected. Walker, a director at all three companies, was at various times CEO and chairman of the board at
Stratesec while at the same time managing director at KuwAm, including when Stratesec hired KuwAm for corporate secretarial services at $2,500 a
month.

So, any story saying Marvin Bush ran security..or that his company ran security... or that he was on the board of a company that ran security at the
WTC is a lie.
As to Marvin Bush's precise role, it's rather hard to tell, considering the fact that he wasn't exactly one to follow rules on reporting his
activities in the companies. Again, from the aforementioned article:
ENLARGING MARVIN—Among his other business interests, Marvin Bush also served on the board of directors of HCC Insurance (formerly Houston
Casualty Company), one of the main insurance carriers for the World Trade Center. Thus Bush, paradoxically, was connected to two companies with a
significant interest in security at the trade center. In spring 1999, Bush was simultaneously a nominee for the boards of both Stratesec and HCC
Insurance.
Bush's directorship at Stratesec was not included on the proxy statement for HCC that year, and his connections with HCC were not included on the
proxy statement for Stratesec. SEC regulations require directors and officers of public companies to list their other directorships and business
connections. In addition to Bush's violations of the SEC regulations in these instances, his directorship at Fresh Del Monte, where he and a longtime
friend who brought him into HCC were also on the Audit and Compensation committees, was also omitted in the Stratesec proxy filing.
Bush's HCC proxy information did disclose his positions at his own firm, Andrews-Bush, and at Fresh Del Monte, but in addition to not disclosing his
Stratesec connection, he omitted yet another association, with Kerrco, an oil company in Houston.
As to Securacom/Stratesec as a whole, I believe it's clear from Margie Burns' article that they were intimately connected to WTC security.
Quoting:
According to Jeff Gallup, a former Stratesec manager who left the company for a position at Landtek, Inc., Stratesec installed the initial
security-description plan—the layout of the electronic security system—at the World Trade Center. Gallup knows the WTC site well, since Landtek,
like EJ Electric, was a prime contractor at the trade center. He was "intimately involved" with WTC security, he said in a phone interview last
year, up to September 12, 2001, when "the F.B.I. left my office with all the contents of the WTC visitors database," by then three-quarters of a
million visitors' badges. It is regrettable that the F.B.I. has not been equipped with an adequate computer system to analyze this information.
