Though not in so many words, Peter Dale Scott now moving into the MIHOP camp, after he had "long resisted" such a viewpoint. See ~ :35 into his Sept. 19 lecture "Deep Politics: How 9/11 Changed America", the second video listed at http://www.911blogger.com/node/18211.

Peter Dale Scott now moving into the MIHOP camp

By "though not in so many words," I gather that Peter Dale Scott has not actually said that he believes 9/11 was a MIHOP "inside job," but rather that someone creatively interprets what he does say to suggest that he secretly supports that position.
The significance of this cannot be underestimated.

Did you "gather" your conclusion after you listened to his talk, starting at the specific
35 minute) point which I indicated? Or did you blithely assume that Scott was not implying anything of the sort?The significance of your answer to these questions cannot be underestimated.

Then why did you waste everyone's time by asking them?
Good point! Change "underestimated" to "overestimated".

In that case there's no reason to answer them.
So instead, I'll point out that the meaning of the qualifier "though not in so many words..." is very clear, and if that's not what you meant me to gather from it then you should have used different words. Such as perhaps, "Scott said, '[insert actual quote here].'"

No evidence, just talk. How do you find these false information experts? Is there a playbook 9/11 truth hands out to enure false information is spread? This is an expert or leader of 9/11 truth?
Below the 0.001 percent membership expert level, 9/11 truth continues at zero evidence.

metamars, please explain what Peter Dale Scott has to offer that you believe is new and compelling.
Personally, I am shocked that a retired professor and JFK assassination kook would hop on the 9/11 stupid train in order to sell books. This is unprecedented!

Who the heck is... Ah. Looked him up. A poet, retired from the UC Berkeley faculty, with a long history of opposing US foreign policy. Even if he were making some sort of clear statement, why should anyone care?
I thought Metamars had, perhaps, found a scientist or engineer.

If you ever want to see a hilarious clinic in logical fallacies, read Scott's piece "JFK and 9/11."
As long as there are metamarses and Jason Bermases around, there'll be slightly more savvy kooks ready to take their money.

Thanks for that,, the transcript is a lot easier for me to speed read through than to listen to him drone on and on in that boring video posted above. I can write faster with a dull pencil than he can talk i swear.
oh and by the way Metamars

Poets are highly regarded for their insistence on the facts and their rock-solid mental equilibriums.
Sylvia Plath wrote an excellent primer on IQ and race, The Bell Curve.
Using a Ouija Board, James Merrill wrote a rigorous treatise on optics, The Changing Light at Sandover.
Robert Frost, in addition to being a poet, was a Road Engineer who worked on ergonomically-improved divergent color coordination to enhance safety.
John Ashbery has this to say about LIHOP:
The room I entered was a dream of this room.
Surely all those feet on the sofa were mine.
The oval portrait
of a dog was me at an early age.
Something shimmers, something is hushed up.
We had macaroni for lunch every day
except Sunday, when a small quail was induced
to be served to us. Why do I tell you these things?
You are not even here.
(italics mine because they're pretty)

What is it about Literature Professors that makes them so vulnerable when it comes to conspiracy theories and political woo in general?

This is good news! Peter Dale Scott has impressive credentials. It is quite shocking to me that such a brilliant man took so long to figure out that 9/11 was an inside job, and not just LIHOP.
That's the problem when we have so many people skeptical of conspiracies in the 9/11 Truth movement and so careful with facts, a lot of time people have too much caution.
It's great to see that the ancient Greek ideal of rational thought is alive and well in the 21st century!
