Professor Griffin is using the data and information provided by all the experts on both sides of the argument in order to present the whole picture of the debate to the reader. He pulls it off marvelously well!

Yes and Aaron is just a "programmer", Monte is just an ex park ranger, and I am just a telecom technician.

Heck I suppose there is really only a handful of people here who have any "expertise" in petroleum whatesoever thus we should all just shut the hell up and leave this forum to people like Rockdoc :lol:

You were saying?

There are no technical experts who support the controlled demolition conspiracy theory and there is no debate controversy about what brought the towers down in the professional or scientific community.

Griffin himself is manifestly unqualified to understand or judge any technical issues. He is a retired philosophy professor and has absolutely no professional training in science, engineering, architecture or any other technical field relevant to evaluating the technical evidence. He is simply an advocate for the conspiracy theory.

Griffin simply points out inconsistencies in the official story.

Griffin uses logic to demonstrate that the official story is not internally coherent.

This doesn't require him to be an expert in anything other than logical thinking. And this, he is.

What he say.

There are experts on both sides of the 911 debate.

Primarily, there has been a dialogue between the government and the public with the publication of reports that are written to be comprehended by all of the public. Then, there has been an ongoing contentious dialogue between defenders of the official story and those who want a re-newed investigation.

These dialogues have a history and pattern and this is what is brought out strongly in Professor Griffin's description and analysis.

heh heh, like maybe the Turkish/Armenian thing? I was in a history class today, in fact. Rowdy Chicanos mostly. Period 6, the rest of the day was much better, Chicanos too but much more mature. But that 6th, period, man I feel sorry for that teacher. They weren't mean or insolent (I get that every once in a while - very seldom). They were just happy social kids who don't know anything about the past or more importantly, the future. Not a day goes by when I don't think about that. But I never talk to an entire class about it anymore. Just a few kids at a time, but I can sure feel the surrounding interest when I do! Ears perk up. Strange how kids can be so quick to realize that it affects them and so many adults just seem to shrug it off.

AP, sorry to be off-topic. Besides, I thought you were done with the CT stuff.

Recent DRG interview at ElectricPolitics.com:

ElectricPolitics

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('EP', 'S')o you implement one of the most stupendous black-ops of all time. Considering the multitude of variables, you've put together a fairly convincing cover story that fixes blame on Islamic terrorists.

Using the full weight of the political establishment you bulldoze away public discussion of the truth. A complaisant press repeats your lies in a ciclo infinito forte. Though a few malcontents won't buy it, they're marginalized.

Then along comes your worst nightmare: a distinguished theologian whose cross-disciplinary specialization involves highly sophisticated reasoning that requires familiarity with logic, science, and the scientific method — a man with no personal vested interest whatsoever (and no way to falsely hang one on him), who digs in tenaciously to ask the right questions, and who becomes a true patriotic hero to many.

In short order, despite the media blackout, a very large percentage of the public becomes skeptical. Such is the story of Dr. David Ray Griffin (PDF), a leader of the 911 Truth movement and author most recently of Debunking 9/11 Debunking. We all owe David an enormous debt of gratitude for his insights, energy, and determination. It was a real privilege to talk with him, and I'm sure his balanced views will continue to gain public support. Total runtime here of an hour and thirteen minutes. Listen carefully and please redistribute widely.

PMS,

What turkish/Armenian thing???


(just kidding....)


No, I was thinking along the lines of mentioning that Andersonville was only a typical prisoner of war camp that just simply ran out of food... it's tough for prisoners to go out and forage, as many soldiers did. 8O

The Peak Oil concept is not analogous to the 9/11 conspiracy movement.

There are numerous highly respected professionals in the sciences, in the business world, in government, and in environmental circles who support the Peak Oil theory. Prof. Kevin Deffeyes, for instance, is a professor of Geology at Princeton and worked with M. K. Hubbert. Matt Simmons is a highly respected economist and businessman in the petroleum industry, etc. etc. There are many other experts, including some who grace this site with pearls of wisdom. At my own university there are scientists who are convinced of the validity of Peak Oil. The peak oil concept is based on real scientific and engineering data and real production data. The data itself is incontrovertible....the only issues involve the interpretation.

In contrast, even after 6 years of controversy and publicity, there are still NO scientists or engineers or architects in academia, government, or the private business world who have physical data that supports a cogent theory of controlled demolition at the WTC. Griffin is typical of the few educated people who are admitted conspiracy advocates....he is a retired philosophy Prof. and knows little or nothing about the technical issues involved. His book is NOT an impartial review of the data.....Griffin is a partisan advocate of the conspiracy theory model..

Major New Paper Published by Dr. Steven Jones

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Prof Jones', 'R')evisiting 9/11/2001 --Applying the Scientific Method

Dr. Steven E. Jones

Introduction

In this paper I focus on the application of the scientific method to the study of what really happened on 9/11/2001, particularly in the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings.
There is something here to look at in depth: this is serious business. It is not just “nutty fringe science” or “conspiracy theory” that can be rejected without even considering the data. There is need for scientific scrutiny as I hope to demonstrate in this paper. In fact my colleagues and I now feel that we have sufficient data to conclude that the collisions of jets with the two Towers are NOT sufficient to explain the complete and rapid collapses of both Towers and WTC 7. We conclude that the evidence is compelling that the destruction of the WTC buildings involved planted cutter charges (such as explosives and incendiaries). We will consider this evidence.

Background

My first major publication in which I was lead author was a paper on muon-catalyzed fusion.
Unlike thermonuclear fusion which occurs on the sun at high temperature, this type of fusion occurs at room temperature. The muon, which is basically a heavy cousin of the electron, pulls hydrogen nuclei of the isotopes of deuterium and tritium closely together so that tunneling occurs through the Coulomb barrier leading to nuclear fusion.

A number of years ago I was on this campus1 visiting Prof. Louis Alvarez who had observed muon-catalyzed fusion experimentally the first time in a hydrogen bubble chamber. Dr. Alvarez was a Nobel Laureate and very kind to discuss the latest...


I read the same criticism in DRG's book. It's not hard a hard paper to read at all.

The top echelon of 911 Truth seems to be blazing the trail for the release of Loose Change Final Cut in September.

Do you have a link to a pdf of Dr. Jone's "scientific" paper on the 9/11 attacks. Where and when was it published?

Dr. Jones was forced out of his faculty position last year after he was shown to have lied when he claimed his 9/11 work was "peer-reviewed".

Is this the same lie that he was caught at before, or has he actually published something now?

Dr. Jone's credibility is very low in the scientific community because of his past lies about his publications.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'D')o you have a link to a pdf of Dr. Jone's "scientific" paper...

Well, I am sure Carhole can provide you with that, but the paper is in multimedia form on the net and has been for at least a couple of years now.
For someone with so many posts on the topic you should at least take a look at what Jones and others have to say.
