a version of this letter was sent to President Bush as well.
New York in December 15, 2008
Madam First Lady: Laura Bush
Dear Madam First Lady
I came to America less than seventeen years ago with a 5 years degree in architecture and I am trying to find a job as an architect ever since. In 1997 I found an employment in a construction firm in Long Island named F&V where after around 6 months of productive hard work there more than 10 different employees repeatedly touched me inappropriately. It was an assault I couldn’t take and left the work. In 1998 after four years of trying I was awarded an admission to the Master of Architecture program in SUNY Buffalo . I graduated with a Master of Architecture in 2000. My M-Arch thesis was a national project to expand Lower Manhattan to the sea achieving ages of prosperity and expandability for Manhattan.
Being a graduate from a reputable American school I thought it will be very easy to find a job. Since graduation I made more than 7000 attempts to find a job of no avail. And when I am hired to work for a few days I wish I wasn’t hired they routinely steal my fees and touch me inappropriately repeatedly while I am working. The touching even happened during interviews, they usually give me the wrong address and /or the wrong directions to go to the interviews. They often call pretending they are offering me an interview claiming it is a 30 minutes away , going there I realize that it was not 30 minutes but a few hours of driving away when I arrived they refused to interview me.
Upon realizing that the spaciousness my thesis proposed will be a superior approach to rebuild lower Manhattan I submitted my design work to LMDC that ran the rebuilding process. They answered in writing stating they are not going to look at it.
Not employed, Loving architecture, having written an M-Arch thesis regarding Lower Manhattan, and shocked by the criminal corruption of the rebuilding process of Lower Manhattan, I decided to follow this process. Carefully Following it, I uncovered countless mistakes, violations and crimes. I documented all what I saw wrong. What I uncovered and documented clearly exposed the rebuilding of New World Trade Center. My findings were large enough to fill a book so I filled one. While this process is criminally corrupted right from its start until now, the flawed architecture it produced is being constructed right now.
Since I started to critique the rebuilding process of Lower Manhattan I faced even more violent assaults while working briefly in architectural firms or even having an employment interviews there. I had an assignment in Skidmore Owing and Merrill where they appeared to have hired me through an agency just to assault me. They would ask me sit to work on a computer then another employee will come and say this is my computer you cannot work here and this used to happen few times every day. They were also asking me to use a modeling programs that is not appropriate for the task in hands. They kept maliciously manipulating and destroying my work as I was working on the computer using their network administrative privileges. They change the task they asked me to do before its completion abruptly, unreasonably and repeatedly. Throughout my few weeks of employment there I was touched inappropriately few times every day despite clearly communicated disgust over it. SOM is the firm that designed and is building the under construction Freedom Tower. I documented SOM’s failures and wrong doings in a number of my essays.
Using my computer, I detailed these assaults in writing. All what I wrote was deleted I rewrote it and it was re-deleted. All the similar details of the other assaults by other firms were also repeatedly deleted off my computer against my will. It is worth noting that I am the only user of my computer in my household. The assaults on my computer are so many to the extent it seem like my stand alone computer is maliciously networked against my will.
STV contacted me pretending to offer a job interview. They said “we are going to take care of him” (that was their exact words). After my first interview with one of STV’s architects I e-mailed him a thank you note. This note referred our conversation about Libeskind’s winning scheme for the new WTC stating: “The master plan was completely changed and that is what is under the construction now. The scheme that won was organized crime/ developers’ scheme. The silence of all New York’s architects consented to this scheme and conspired to conceal its obvious flaws.” After months of wasted time and -of course- high hopes, STV used profanity harassing me during the last interview. The STV interviewer referred to my thank you note that associated STV with the organized crime with a smirk during this last interview before using profanity he also pushed me as we exited his office. I had to call the police to get my portfolio materials from them. It is worth noting that STV has a significant and a profitable part in the rebuilding of the WTC. They are a part of joint venture to design and build the PATH World Trade Center Transportation Hub. This Hub was described as “unbuildable”, it is way over budged and will never fit with the proposed urban context. I documented the design flaws of This transportation hub in my essays.
If my logic is flawed why will they go that criminal to assault me. As you can see their assaults credit and authenticate my design concept and my findings. Their assaults highlights how weak and incapable their logic is; they are trying to move the battle from the reason arena where I want it to be where they will never win to the wrestling arena where they can win. As you can see it is not a personal problem of an American being assaulted it is America that is being assaulted.
It is noble to trigger a chain reaction to help America even in the last few days of President Bush’s presidency. This reaction can be simply triggered by asking the FBI to launch a criminal investigation about the rebuilding process of Lower Manhattan after September 11. I would like to wish you Madam First Lady and your First Family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ramez A. George
