Harrit sues paper for defamation

[Redwood]

A date has been set for the appeal case.

Harrit will be back in the courtroom March 12, 2015.

Either the Danish courts are overloaded with cases, or Harrit's appeal is so frivolous that it's at the back of the back burners. I think that here in the U.S. it would be summarily dismissed.

So we face eight months of agonising tension before we get to know if our understanding of 9/11 is about to be shattered?

Sad part would be "truthers" waiting for this. If memory serves, 9/11 will play no part in this. It's all about if his image/standing was hurt by this reporters article and the article alone.

The judge is not going to hear any of his "truther" nonsense.

Let's hope the Judge googles him up first

His facebook page (which of course is not run by him ) will be enough to establish he is a crank.

Harrt interview on December 11th, where he talks about his trial starting at 33:00 minutes:

[Oystein]

So the hearing was yesterday with a ruling to follow on September 13. Shockingly, none of the major newspapers covered this groundbreaking trial, and the only description I've found was in a journalism trade magazine. Sounds like a fun was had by all, apart from Niels Harrit, who turned up without a lawyer.

Google translate will do a decent enough job, although the headline should read "Do you want to see some dust from the World Trade Center?"

This article mentions a professor Per Hedegaard from the Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University as having called Harrit's work "gakgak", which a Dane I talked to translates as "potty".
Now in the interview I linked in the previous post, starting about 42:00 min, Harrit talks about a professor from the Niels Bohr Institute who has ben MISquotes as saying that Harrit's theories are "pure garbage" - and that he, Harrit, has convinced that professor that the theories are correct after all, and that the professor is going to testify on his behalf in the March 2015 hearing! I am reasonably sure he is indeed talking about Per Hedegård. Someone should brief Hedegård...

Sounds like Niels Harrit still haven't got a clue what the hearing is about. He can have Hedegaard testify all he want, it won't have one jolt of influence on the case.

 

[Oystein]

O well, he also plans to bring Jan Utzon into the court room (a truther architect)

 

[DGM]

They're not going to look at his 27, 8x10 color glossies with circles and arrows...............

In this case it's not blind justice, it's him having no clue what this is all about. Just another example of the stage show that is "9/11 truth".

Sounds like a classic case of JAQ'ing off, tarnishing his fathers name in the process.

,,, and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
one was to be used as evidence....

Updated to 2015 it would include a Youtube video.

Not to long now.

I get the feeling the judge is not going to be very interested in his 911 presentation, just like the UK judge dealing with TV licence evasion.

That won't keep Harrit from claiming whatever outcome results as a vindication of his 9/11 theories. Mark Lane did it with Plausible Denial, spinning his victory for Liberty Lobby against Howard Hunt, which was actually won on technical legal grounds, into a victory for his narrative that Hunt was involved in a CIA plot to kill JFK. If Harrit wins, it'll vindicate his theory of conspiracy; if he loses, it'll be part of the plot to cover it up. Win-win.

It's a little off-topic here, but I just found something quite telling on facebook - Harrit's ... girl friend? Partner? And her peculiar views. She is fully into woo, and clearly an anti-semite.

Here's what I saw:
Earlier today, Mike Bondi (Canadian truth activist for AE911T) shared an image that his wife posted - their daughter, I assume - and this got several comments, I quote:

Pernille Grumme Hi boys! Greetings from Copenhagen! Sweet daughter, Mike!

So it seems that Pernille Grumme and someone called Niels travel together over seas since 4 years ago. Sounds like they are a couple. Pernille is friends with three people with the surname "Harrit" (Niels himself does not have a personal FB profile - there exists one in his name that is run by someone else as a fan page). I think it is safe to say Harrit is Pernille's Niels.

Here is Pernille Grumme on Facebook. Just browse at your own leisure. The chemtrails, Obama taking orders from Netanyahu, ... you get the drift. On December 31st an Image with Hilary Clinton, with "davidicke" bottom right. Same date, image of Assad, with "7 reasons why nato/usa hates syria". #1 on the list is "Syria has no Rothschild Bank". There you have it: Dumb anti-semitic scum!

I have lately been browsing 9/11 Truth groups and pages and persons on Facebook - and was shocked to see how often and blatantly Israel and Jewry get blamed for everything including 9/11. I think this needs to be exposed more.


ETA:
Niels Harrit fanpage is https://www.facebook.com/Niels.Harrit.appreciation.society
And indeed, his birthday was two days ago:
"Today, the 25th of January 2015, Niels Harrit turns 70 years old."

It's his wife and it's pretty sad to see how people fall for such rubbish. Having said that No state is without flaws. Israel has done some very creepy things... the US has, UK and so on.

Today is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Harrit was born 2 days earlier.

Hatred grows, Jews are being prosecuted, real violence will result, because of ******** like Harrit's dumb wife. She talks **** because no reasons. Just because she is an anti-semitic *******.

Do you doubt that Harrit is an anti-semitic *******, too?

ETA: Isn't this defamation suit about some journalist lumping Harrit together with holocaust deniers and other such loons?
Well he damned well should be! He goes to bed with such a loon! (Sooner or later she will deny the h. )

JSanderO, There is a world of difference between someone who opposes Israeli foreign and military policy and an anti-Semite. Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are revolting, nauseating examples of the worst of our species. I'd be careful about even commenting about opposition to Israeli military and intelligence activities you oppose and anti-Semitism in the same post!

And I agree with Oystein that anti-Semites should be exposed and rooted out whenever they appear. Once I heard Rush Limbaugh ream one of his listeners for an anti-Semitic remark. I thoroughly dislike Limbaugh, but 9/11 Truth activists should be as virulently opposed to anti-Semitism as Limbaugh is, in my opinion.

It should be noted that although Limbaugh has no problem calling out anti semites, he loves and usedsthe term "Half-Rican" to describe President Obama.

 

[Georgio]

Oystein - can you please put together a more comprehensive list of examples to back up the accusation that Pernille Grumme is an anti-Semite?
