This could be interesting.

On Monday, November 12 at 11:00 p.m. EST, Richard Gage is scheduled for a two hour debate on the Richard Syrett Show on CFRB radio (1010 on the AM dial).

From the CFRB site: A SPECIAL TWO HOUR DEBATE: WERE THE WTC TOWERS BROUGHT DOWN BY CONTROLLED DEMOLITION?

I'm just looking at Syrett's "bio" on the CFRB site, and it appears that he may be somewhat of a twoofer, and his show seems to focus on all manner of woo (psychics, mediums, UFOs, etc.)

The CFRB site doesn't mention who Gage's opponent is, but Gage's site indicates that it is Ron Craig, and a post on the 911 blogger site describes Craig as "a member of the International Society of Explosives Engineers".

If Craig has actual credentials and the host is rational and fair, he should have no problem making Gaghe look stupid.

Seeing what happens when a twoofer has a radio show, that's a big IF.

Please, someone get transcripts or an MP3 up here. This has to be interesting.

Ron Craig seems to have an interesting background.


http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/126016


He's a bomb specialist and one of the few civilians who belong to the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators. He's also a licensed Class 1 blaster, qualified firefighter and a Jaws of Life practitioner — not to mention gunsmith, welding instructor and pyrotechnics specialist.

Set someone on fire? No problem. Murder, mayhem, chaos and destruction is the name of his game.
You see, Craig is, above all, a master of special effects (FX). There's a good chance you've seen his work, which includes more than 80 feature films and 10 television series that include flaming cars, people falling from tall buildings and the rat-a-tat-tat of assault weapons, à la Charles Bronson.

Mr. Craig is also, apparently, involved in the Toronto Film College, which describes him as follows:

Ron is an experienced Special Effects Supervisor with over 20 years experience. He has worked on over 85 feature films, 8 television series and numerous commercials. Ron has worked on projects with major studios such as Paramount, HBO, CBS, NBC, and Warner Brothers. Ron is also an experienced instructor, university professor, member of the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators, and member of the Society for Explosives Engineers.

Another of your heroes has cold feet. Gage expressed interest in appearing on 'Hardfire,' but it waned after I sent him links to Mark's annihilation of the Loose Change boys and Jim Fetzer. Behind my back, Gage approached my producer and asked him to conduct the interview.
When I explained that 'Hardfire' doesn't exist to help him sell DVDs, he stopped responding.

How do you think you'd fare in a debate with Mark? Sounds like fun, huh?
 
Something tells me they will focus on WTC7. Do not be surprised, when Gage gets in a corner, for him to start changing topics like a truther Uzi.

Which is exactly why I think that a lot of woo gets spread through the failure of moderators to maintain control over their venues. Letting Gage tap dance will just cloud the issue.

Or, it could be a complete set-up disguised as a "debate".

I'm just thinking out loud here but Ron Craig is, apparently, a special effects expert. I don't see anything about him online that indicates he has had any prior involvement with debunking the troof movement's fantasies, or anything in which he has stated any position about the events of 9/11.

I can envision it unfolding not as a debate, but as an opportunity for the twoofers to have a special effects guy say, "sure, the whole thing could have been a pyrotechnics display".

Anyone else ever hear anything about Mr. Craig or know anything more about him?

You may be on to something there. Getting a paper debater on board for the set up, followed by the "you know you guys may be on to something, maybe building 7 was a controlled demolition" from the supposed opposition. Only time will tell.

His credentials look pretty good to me.

Gage has nothing in his quiver to counter those credentials.
 
The guy seems legit...

Ron Craig
Ryerson University, Canadian Film College


Using Special Effects Materials To Detonate IEDs and Create Incendiary Devices

Provides detail on special effects devices and other commonly used materials that can be used to create deadly IEDs. Pictures, video and footage of these devices, as they are initiated, will be used to show EOD officers how these devices operate. Actual X-Rays of the initiating devices will be shown so participants can identify the materials if they encounter them.

Oh, I am not questioning Mr. Craig's credentials. I'm just naturally suspicious, and naturally skeptical about Gage purporting to debate him and I try to always consider alternative motives, particularly when the host of the debate appears to be into all manner of woo. Given that Mr. Craig is also a special effects expert, I can see how that might play into the truthers' agenda.

In any event, I plan on tuning in on Monday night. :)

Generally if a special FX guy is talking about 9/11 it means it's a twoofer. Because that's what the consider to be a demolition expert, a special effects person. So I am skeptical.

While you MAY be right, I do believe the guys from MythBusters are special effects guys also...
