  1. The guy is such a fraud. I am constantly scanning for events that are politically significant and "don't add up". I do this every single day. I have a radio show, "The Raw Deal", T/Th on renseradio.com from 8-9 PM/ET, for example, where I am discussing the latest developments abroad and at home. Would anyone ask why I am talking about the issues I am talking about UNLESS THEY HAD A REASON TO THINK I WAS MISSING SOMETHING? And if they did, it would be because there was some other event that DID NOT ADD UP!

  2. It's called "scientific inquiry", which has four stages of PUZZLEMENT, SPECULATION, ADAPTATION (of hypotheses to evidence using inference to the best explanation) and EXPLANATION. I have many books on this, such as SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE (1981) and PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE (1993).

    But I laid it out in an accessible fashion in "Thinking about 'Conspiracy Theories': 9/11 and JFK", which appeared in THE 9/11 CONSPIRACY (2007) and is also available on-line. Do a search.

    I have done a huge amount of research on these issues, beginning with JFK in ASSASSINATION SCIENCE (1998), MURDER IN DEALEY PLAZA (2000), and THE GREAT ZAPRUDER FILM HOAX (2003), where I bring together experts on different aspects of the case to solve it.

    I have a new book on 9/11, AMERICA NUKED ON 9/11 (2016), which I suspect is what brought you here (in an attempt to undermine my credibility with ridiculous questions about "methodology" that have no unique answer (since what does or does not "add up" varies with each case).

    For an nice example, see AMERICAN ASSASSINATION (2004) with Don "Four Arrows" Jacobs, where we explain what doesn't "add up" in the plane crash that took the like of Senator Paul Wellstone.

    I have done the same with multiple experts in the case of NOBODY DIED AT SANDY HOOK (2015) and NOBODY DIED IN BOSTON, EITHER (2016). Why don't to take a look and see if you can figure out why those cases also did not "add up"? You need to be less obvious. Every scholar studies the issues that invite their attention. No one has an obligation to explain why others do not.

  3. And please note: I'm not saying any individual event is or is not a hoax or conspiracy. So save your fingers in posting some evidence about 9/11 or Sandy Hook or whatever.

    I'm getting at the validity of the METHODS. Any formal inquiry of any type MUST be clear and transparent about its METHODS.

    And those methods must stand up to scrutiny about re: their validity.

    So please don't get upset, if you really want justice and really want to convince others you need to be strong and respond to scrutiny instead of crying about it. This way your methods may be improved and accepted as valid

  4. Steve12, you need to get out of here. You will not get a good answer from these people. They are paid to obstruct the truth.

    They will just waste your time with prevarications until Fetzer retires.

    These asshole think that nukes were used on 9/11 and that holograms of airplanes can be projected onto air.

    These are ridiculous assertions.

    Just stop in and occasionally drop one of these: ?

    This is all that they deserve.
