As Greg Szymanski writes for the Arctic Beacon, "William Rodriguez, the WTC janitor who has been speaking out across the nation about a 9/11 government conspiracy, came home to find his Jersey City apartment burglarized Saturday," this following Wayne Madsen's decision to get out of Washington for a few days after receiving a message indicating he may be the target of an assassination attempt. "Rodriguez, who has damaging eye-witness testimony that bombs exploded in the WTC basement prior to the airplanes striking, said [Saturday] his apartment was burglarized between 12:30pm and 7:50pm after retuning home and noticing his second-floor apartment door wide-open." Rodriguez told Szymanski the burglars "didn't destroy the place, but took my lap top with all my vital information, as well as one of my video cameras and all of my girl friend's jewelry, including an expensive engagement ring." Rodriguez received the same "warning email" as Madsen "because he also fits the description of the potential government target, as the inside intelligence source that leaked the information to Madsen said the target was not specifically mentioned by name, but fits the description of both Madsen and Rodriguez."
On nine eleven, Rodriguez rescued fifteen people from the WTC and was the only person at the site with the master key to the North Tower stairwells. He led firefighters up the stairwell and unlocked doors thus aiding in the evacuation of hundreds of people who would have otherwise perished. Rodriguez subsequently received a National Hero Award from the Senate of Puerto Rico and organized the Hispanic Victims Group.
"Like many others who lost family or were personally involved in Sept. 11, Mr. Rodriguez is convinced that much of what happened that day is still behind locked doors, and the only way to open them is to keep hurling questions at officials until they get answers. For such activists, the appearance of top Clinton and Bush administration officials before the 9/11 commission [in late March, 2004] was a key moment, long awaited," writes Gail Russell Chaddock for the Christian Science Monitor.
In June of 2004, Rodriguez told the Bush whitewash commission "he swears he saw United Airlines Flight 175 hijacker Mohand Alshehri [allegely sat in seat 2B on United Airlines flight 175] in June 2001 and told an FBI agent in the family center at Ground Zero about it a month after the attacks," the New York Daily News reported at the time. "He never heard back from the bureau." In a strange twist to the story, according to the Orlando Sentinel and Christopher J. Petherick of the American Free Press, the Saudi Arabian embassy indicated Alshehri is alive and had nothing to do with the attacks of nine eleven. "Little is known about the Saudi-born Alshehri, 22, or his travels after arriving in Miami on May 28, 2001," James Gordon Meek writes for the New York Daily News. "Alshehri [or a patsy claiming to be Alshehri] used the alias Abu Dujana, the name of Islam's mythic Red-Banded Warrior, who fought for the Prophet Muhammed. It's a name other Al Qaeda attackers also have used, including one who claimed responsibility for the train bombings in Madrid on March 11 of this year."
But not only did Rodriguez claim to bump into somebody who looked like Alshehri, he also told the whitewash commission there were explosions in the first sub-level of the WTC. "He not only claims he felt explosions coming from below the first sub-level while working in the basement, he says the walls were cracking around him and he pulled a man to safety by the name of Felipe David, who was severely burned from the basement explosions. All these events occurred only seconds before and during the jetliner strike above.... How could a jetliner hit 90 floors above and burn a man's arms and face to a crisp in the basement below within seconds of impact?" Szymanski writes. "Bush wants him quiet because Rodriguez's account is 'proof positive' the WTC was brought down by a controlled demolition, not burning jet fuel. And Bush knows if he's caught lying about this or caught in a cover-up, it's just a matter of time before the whole house of cards comes tumbling down."
So it is not surprising Rodriguez received the same "warning email" as Madsen -- and it is not surprising his apartment was burglarized. It appears somebody wanted to send William Rodriguez a message.
