November 12, 2007 (LPAC)--Rudy Giuliani is not a serious candidate for the Republican nomination, emphasized Lyndon LaRouche on Sunday, after LaRouche's statement--Giuliani Was Set Up!--was issued Nov. 10. The scandals in Giuliani's closet are well-known, LaRouche emphasized, and "The implied plan behind this hanging Giuliani up high enough to drop him, is: 'Suckers of the world unite, if you have actually already lost your brains!'"

Underlining LaRouche's warning, are developments that destroy Giuliani's "hero of 9/11" self-image.

An investigation has now been launched by Queens Councilman Eric Gioia, the chair of the New York City Council's Oversight and Investigations Committee into the case where NYC firefighters radios, which Giuliani had known for years to be no good, were in operation, and responsible for the deaths of the firefighters on 9/11. Video documentaries detailing this story have been put out by therealrudy.org.

After the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, newly elected Mayor Giuliani was given a 1994 report showing that the firefighters' radios in use then did not work. Eight years after the 1993 Trade Center bombing, new radios were finally ordered--through a no-bid contract with Motorola. No pilot testing was done before the order was placed, and no field testing when they were received. Within one week, the city had to recall the new radios, after a near-fatal incident, in which the radios malfunctioned.

When the new useless radios were recalled, the Giuliani administration re-issued the old radios, which were known not to be able to function in such places as the WTC towers. Those were the radios in use on 9/11.

Police in helicopters had issued warnings 10-15 minutes before each of the towers collapsed, predicting that would happen. Police received the evacuation order on their radios. The firefighters' radios could not communicate with the police radios. No policemen were lost in the collapse of the North Tower, but the precise same radios that failed the firefighters in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center malfunctioned again on 9/11, resulting in the deaths of at least 121 firefighters who were unable to hear the order to evacuate.

The video contains footage of Giuliani testifying that it was the decision of so many brave firefighters to stand their ground, and not evacuate, which was responsible for maintaining a sense of calm during the collapse of the towers. To portray firefighters as refusing to obey an evacuation order, both surviving firefighters and their families emotionally denounce.
