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,…

Has nanothermite been oversold to the 9/11 Truth community?
Has nanothermite been oversold to the 9/11 Truth community? “It’s not what we don’t know that hurts us, it’s what we know that ain’t so.” – Will Rogers Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth are heavily promoting the theory that “explosive nanothermite” was used to bring down the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001, and that microscopic chips of a fused compound containing unignited nanothermite were found in the World Trade Center dust. This discovery is now considered a “smoking gun” by most members of the 9/11 Truth community, even…
INSIDE HIGHER ED ignores 9/11 evidence
April 23, 2011 Inside Higher Ed Ignores 9/11 Evidence By Jim Fetzer A relatively obscure conflict between the Editors-in-Chief of an international journal for philosophy of science and the Guest Editors of a special issue on “Evolution and It’s Rivals” has led to the call for a boycott of the journal until the Editors-in-Chief correct an action that is widely viewed as having been inappropriate. In a column about this controversy in INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION, “A Peculiar Disclaimer” (20 April 2011), the reporter, Libby Nelson–who, to the best of my…
Just because you are retired doesn’t mean you’re done!
Just because you are retired doesn’t mean you’re done! “Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated!” — attributed to Mark Twain Having recently discovered that the University of Minnesota publishes a newsletter for retired faculty, I thought that some of those who are in that category might enjoy reading about one of their own, who was among the first ten faculty appointed as Distinguished McKnight University Professors in 1996, when the program was initiated. My wife, Jan, has observed that, since I retired, I have been busier than I was…
Flossing Can Be Murder: Inventor becomes victim of apparent corporation scam
Flossing Can Be Murder: Inventor becomes victim of apparent corporation scam Sean Dix Editor’s Preface: Sean Dix has invented an ingenious device known as “the floss ring”. He brought it to Johnson & Johnson (hereafter “J&J”) in 1994, unaware that J&J had been attempting to develop a similar product of its own, but without success. That began a series of horrendous experiences that culminated on 21 December 2009, with an apparent attempt on his life by means of a massive injection of flouride administered by his long-time dentist. He has…
DAVID FERRIE: WHY HE IS IMPORTANT IN THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION
DAVID FERRIE: WHY HE IS IMPORTANT IN THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION — AND EFFORTS BEING MADE TO HIDE IT Judyth Vary Baker David made a joke about me and Mary Sherman and himself when we three met for the first time. “Dr. Mary, Dr. Ferrie, and Dr. Vary!” he laughed. He repeated “Mary, Ferrie and Vary” a few more times that summer. It was an example of Dave’s wit and affability. Today, efforts are being made to erase all traces of David Ferrie as an active anti-Castro CIA asset in 1963…
DID ZAPRUDER FILM “THE ZAPRUDER FILM”?
DID ZAPRUDER FILM “THE ZAPRUDER FILM”? Jim Fetzer (with Mike Pincher) At first consideration, the question sounds very odd on its face. How could Zapruder have not taken “the Zapruder film”? So here is some background. As many readers may be aware, I organized a JFK research group in 1992 of the most highly-qualified persons to ever study the case, including a world authority on the human brain, who was also an expert on wound ballistics; a Ph.D. in physics who was also an M.D. and board-qualified in radiation oncology;…
