Jonathan Elinoff and the Origin of the "Gelatin" German/Austrian WTC Art Student Hoax Story

Poseidon

Like Christopher Bollyn (in 2000, and 2006!!), Jonathan Elinoff claims to have received “death threats” for exposing information. And like Brendon O’Connell, Elinoff claims his phones are tapped and his emails are monitored. The Mossad might pay him; they certainly wouldn’t want to kill him.

These hoaxes regularly surface in 9/11 truth, like Richard Grove’s “WTC gold heist” and the Hufschmid-Bollyn “Global Hawk at the Pentagon”. Elinoff’s deception is based on falsely linking the Israeli-Mossad fake “art students” who weren’t at the WTC with real art students who were there. Another trick consists of attempting to confuse Gelatin’s dangerous, covert, probably illegal stunt, which lasted for minutes, with their legitimate, lawful residency for months under the World Views program. Like all disinformation agents and flypaper operations, Elinoff mixes truth with lies.

The video includes reports of the Israeli vans with explosives, in an attempt to sell itself as authentic. Elinoff talks about the New York Times article on the reputed Gelatin stunt. The article dated Saturday, August 18, 2001, by Shaila K. Dewan, is entitled “Balcony Scene (Or Unseen) Atop the World; Episode at Trade Center Assumes Mythic Qualities”.

It mentions Gelatin’s book “The B-Thing”, 62-page hardcover editions of which were subsequently published in November 2001 and February 2002. The stunt supposedly involved temporarily removing one of the WTC windows to create a “balcony”, for 19 minutes, early on a Sunday morning in March 2000. A description of the book states June rather than March 2000:

That claims Gelatin smuggled the balcony materials in under their pullovers, the balcony could only support one person at a time, the putty around the windows was scratched off and the windows (only 18 inches wide) were pulled away with suction pads. It would have been March rather than June 2000, since the stunt is variously described as having taken place at dawn and at 6am, which coincide in March. And because Gelatin’s “World Views” residency in WTC 1 was winter 1999-2000 rather than summer 2000, as shown here in the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s (LMCC) list of artists:

As the New York Times article correctly states, Gelatin shared free studio space on the 91st floor of the North Tower with fourteen other artists. They were Taleen Berberian, Bruce Bosnan, Patty Chang, Geoffrey Detrani, Martina Gecelli, Kelly Hashimoto, Emily Jacir, Susan Kelly, Diane Ludin, Tamara Mewis, Slink Moss, Prema Murthy, Marcos Rosales, and Kimberly Tomes.

This is not the first time someone has tried to cite Gelatin’s residency at the WTC as ‘evidence’ for controlled demolition, in an attempt to damage the case for controlled demolition. Sherman H. Skolnick did so as early as October 2003:

Note that Skolnick, at the above link, is also trying to peddle the “no planes at the WTC” thesis, which is a bit of a clue as to his veracity. He writes about “hologram projection”, and claims, “Yet, aviation and engineering experts seriously doubt that a huge airplane, wings and tail, could penetrate the buildings hitting heavy reinforced pillars and such.” Yeah, right. Mossad “experts”.

So the “Gelatin are suspicious” disinformation was being circulated six years before Jonathan Elinoff tried to muddy the waters with his additional twist. Elinoff claims that Hanan Serfaty is listed in the World Views program. Trouble is, he isn’t. Serfaty was an Israeli Mossad fake “art student” who lived in Hollywood, Florida.

But he was not on the World Views program.

The next link shows that the LMCC site has plenty to say about the World Views
program.

But, there is no Hanan(e) Serfaty / Sarfati / Sai.

Gelatin is about the nearest name to Serfaty on the World Views program, and it was probably Gelatin that inspired Jonathan Elinoff to think of "Serfaty” as a means of concocting his recent hoax.

It’s funny to see that, in promoting their lie about Serfaty, the Core of Corruption promoters also claim (my emphasis):

Hanan Serfaty was arrested by DEA agents in connection to the Israeli spy ring. What makes him stand out, is that he was listed as being an art student who was apart of the World Views program, which was in the World Trade Center on floors 90 and 91 in the Lower Manhatten (sic) Cultural Council. Although he is not listed by Gelitin as a member of “The B-Thing,” the listing of the identities of the other 14 students who were on floor 91 at the time was never released to the public, neither was the total list of those involved in the stunt which numbers at a minimum of 6.

The deceivers would have to say that, to create an air of mystery and to prevent their claims from being immediately holed below the waterline. As shown above, the identities of the other 14 are public knowledge. Not only that, but as web.archive.org demonstrates, that information was already in the public domain in September 2007, if not much earlier.

http://web.archive.org/web/20070923175837/http://lmcc.net/art/residencies/workspace/worldviews/residents.html

(See Winter 1999-2000.)

These art students were about seven floors below Floor 98, which is where the WTC 1 collapse initiated in the impact area. However, the impact area is strongly correlated with the upgraded floors.

And how were these (non-Jewish, genuine) art students supposed to have demolished WTC 2 and WTC 7, and smuggled all their explosives past security? The "art student" demolition theory is crazier than the "Arabs did it" lies.

Elinoff’s Core of Corruption website, registered on 27 November 2008, sells books, DVDs, stickers, music, cloths, etc. This is one clue: they cannot simply release their ‘information’ in writing with links to their sources, as it could then be debunked within a couple of minutes. The emphasis on videos indicates that the aim is to make it time-consuming to access their claims, and provides a pretext to sell merchandise in order to create a list of truth seekers, patriots and anti-Zionists. Anyone foolish enough to provide their personal details to this flypaper operation would be in graver danger than if it were merely the government that got their name and address. Elinoff has a Jewish father, and the customer lists are probably passed on to the Mossad.

Another clue lies in the fact that Jonathan Elinoff’s “friend and fellow 9/11 researcher” is Jon Gold (another Jew).

http://coreofcorruption.com/index.php/?page_id=26

This is the same Jon Gold who complained that 911blogger was concentrating too much on the WTC controlled demolition. Yet here, we find that Gold is friends with Elinoff who is ostensibly trying to “expose” the Mossad’s role in demolishing the WTC, whilst in fact doing his very best to sabotage the truth about controlled demolition and Mossad involvement. Even those who are not wise to the deception of the Meinertzhagen-like Christopher Bollyn recognize that Jon Gold is another who does his best not to expose the truth.

Core of Corruption is a suspected fraud, too.

This final link shows that others were aware that Core of Corruption is another fraud, long before I even started looking into it.

http://wtcdemolition.com/blog/node/2165

Core of Corruption promotes LIHOP, and talks about "the (Arab) hijackers". It’s certainly an outlet to steer well clear of.
