An Evening With William Rodriguez

“I dedicate my life 24/7 to help victims, to find the truth of the events, to help my community and to educate about peace.”
from William’s website (http://www.911keymaster.com)

William Rodriguez worked as a janitor at the Word Trade Center for 20 years and was the last person to exit the North Tower on Sept. 11. He single-handedly rescued 15 people from the WTC; using his master key, he led firefighters up the stairwell, unlocking doors and aiding the evacuation of hundreds.

Rodriguez was vocal in calling for an immediate investigation into what occurred on Sept. 11 and testified behind closed doors to the 9/11 Commission. His testimony was omitted from their report.

Rodriguez continues to bring attention to the health concerns of thousands of first responders now sick with "Ground Zero Syndrome." In addition, Rodriguez helped Latino survivors and relatives of victims of the attacks who were not receiving help due to cultural and linguistic barriers. William was also a major force behind the campaign to encourage non-documented immigrant survivors and relatives of victims to come forward for help without fear of deportation.

William Rodriguez’s federal lawsuit claimed that he had single-handedly rescued fifteen persons at the World Trade Center. In all these years he has never demonstrated that he single-handedly rescued anybody, but we in the truth movement gave Willie the benefit of the doubt. After all, what kind of despicable person would have the gall to lie about such a thing?

99% of the civilians below the impact zones evacuated safely. About 100 died. If the people had been trapped behind locked fire exits, as Willie claims, then thousands of office workers on the dozens of floors he never reached should have died, waiting for his “Key of Hope” to set them free.

The truth movement once had a good relationship with C-Span. As far as I know Willie’s two-hour brag-fest in 8/07, which squandered an opportunity to showcase some serious truth, was our last C-Span gig.

Willie’s fictitious hero tales disgrace the Truth movement. He steals his glory from the dead. Firemen, police, lawyers, architects, security guards, janitors, and journalists can see through his lies in an instant.

To regain the respect of all those critical thinkers who have recognized in our gullibility an enormous capacity for selective skepticism and confirmation bias, William Rodriguez’s blatant lies must be not just ignored, but repudiated.

After Willie's appearance at the Grand Lake Theater, which had been scheduled as a fundraiser for the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance, Willie reportedly walked away with $1400 in cash contributions from his gullible marks. His lies had opened their pocketbooks. That's fraud.
