While this blog tends to focus on historical issues, such as the assassination of JFK, the events of 9/11, and other abuses of power and authority, as a professional philosopher, I well know there are other questions that also deserve consideration, such as the existence of God and the place of religion in human experience. David and I both have relationships with Vince and we find him to be a fascinating fellow. I liked what David had to say about his book, which had dimensions that had not occurred to…
Seven Questions about 9/11
Seven Questions about 9/11 Jim Fetzer As a former Marine Corps officer (1962-66), who spent his 35-year career offering courses in logic, critical thinking, and scientific reasoning to college students, it troubles me when my government appears to be lying to the American people. On this 4th of July, therefore, I want to share with you some of the questions that have arisen in my mind about the events of 9/11, which have been used to justify wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at enormous cost in lives lost and resources…
The Minnesota “Sustainable Energy” Scam: From T. Paw to T. Boone
The Minnesota “Sustainable Energy” Scam Jim Fetzer The “Sustainable Energy” Billboard It was my pleasure to interview Mary Hartman and Kristi Rosenquist on “The Real Deal”, an internet radio program I host on M/W/F from 5-7 PM/CT, which took place on 17 June 2011 and has been archived at http://radiofetzer.blogspot.com. I was taken aback to discover that the sustainable energy program in Minnesota is by and large a scam designed to enrich the Texas billionaire, T. Boone Pickins. I learned from them that a program being sold to the residents…
Barry’s Conspiracy World: The “No Plane” Theory
Barry’s Conspiracy WorldExploring Conspiracy Truth The “No Plane” Theory Barry Berman To the uninitiated, this seems like the most idiotic crock of crap. Let’s take a look at the facts of the morning of 9/11 and see how this “silly” idea came about. No one saw a plane crash in PA. There was very little wreckage at the “crash site.” There were no pieces over two feet long. There were no bodies. There was not “one drop of blood.” There was no black box. There was a second debris field…
9/11: Seismic Proof + Video Fakery = Inside Job
9/11: Seismic Proof + Video Fakery = Inside Job Jim Fetzer Many sober citizens are reluctant to conclude that 9/11 was an “inside job” because they cannot bring themselves to believe that their own government would deliberately kill 3,000 of their fellow citizens to promote a political agenda for the sake of oil, Israel, and ideology. The evidence, however, extends to the apparent use of video fakery on 9/11, which, I now believe, was necessary to create a pseudo-explanation for explosions in the sub-basements of both Twin Towers. Either should…
WHERE DID THE TOWERS GO? by Judy Wood, Ph.D.–Essay-Review I
An Essay-Review of Where Did the Towers Go? by Judy Wood, Ph.D. Part One Sunday, June 19, 2011 Donald Stahl This is a magnificent book, and a magnificent gift to the 9/11 Truth Movement and to humanity. Speaking as someone who has tried for several years to stay abreast of developments pertaining to 9/11, I must say that the amount of work that went into it is not just amazing it is shocking. It is a beautifully produced book of five hundred glossy pages, printed in “China,” filled with labeled,…
Conspiracy Theory
http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/06/20/conspiracy-theory/June 20 2011Foreign Policy Journal Conspiracy TheoryPaul Craig Roberts While we were not watching, conspiracy theory has undergone Orwellian redefinition. A “conspiracy theory” no longer means an event explained by a conspiracy. Instead, it now means any explanation, or even a fact, that is out of step with the government’s explanation and that of its media pimps. For example, online news broadcasts of RT have been equated with conspiracy theories by the New York Times simply because RT reports news and opinions that the New York Times does not report…
ISIS trips, stumbles, and falls
ISIS trips, stumbles, and falls Jim Fetzer As a student of the history and the philosophy of science, I have been dumbfounded to discover that ISIS, a prominent journal in the history of science, has published a review of a book on astronomers that was edited by T. Hockey, THE BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ASTRONOMERS, by N. M. Swerdlow, Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago (ISIS 101:1 (2010), pp. 197-8), in which he assails Nicholas Kollerstrom, Ph.D., an historian of science and scholar whom I admire, on…
The Trial of Muad’Dib (9-12 May 2011)
The Trial of Muad’Dib (9-12 May 2011) Special Report For anyone who has been following the extraordinary case of Muad’Dib, the “Not Guilty!” verdict rendered yesterday must be seen as a win for the Truth about 7/7 and for justice in the Courts. Muad’Dib, or John Anthony Hill (JAH), is the producer of a documentary film entitled “7/7 Ripple Effect” about the 7/7/2005 London bombings, which was released to the internet on the 5th of November in 2007. In less than an hour, using mainstream media news reports, the film…
Osama Bin Laden, 1957 – 2001
Osama Bin Laden, 1957 – 2001 Nicholas Kollerstrom In Orwell’s novel 1984, there is a figure called Emmanuel Goldstein who functions as an all-purpose enemy, even though we gather that he may actually have died some time ago. Osama Bin Laden has been used in a similar manner by the Powers that Be, by a process of identity theft during the last days of his life. In reality there have been no sightings or reports of him since 2001. I here argue that he died on or around December 15th,…
