Loose Change - Part III

[JamesB]

It's a PR release from PR Web--basically Fetzer submitted it and it gets on Yahoo News automatically.

Anybody really believe this guy's kids were threatened over this goofy article on the elephant plane? BTW, on the forum on that paper, I think Gravy's misspoken here:



Isn't the camera to the east, looking roughly west? I hesitate here because my initial assumption is that if Gravy and I disagree, it's because I've made a mistake somewhere, but I did check this fairly carefully and it certainly appears to me that we're looking at the damage to the east side of the north building.

I also love MMC's insistence that's an AWACS plane. You'd think he'd look at the wing positions on the two pictures he shows and realize they cannot possibly be the same plane.

Can we submit a press release on how the "scholars" are a bunch of hypocritical whiny self-martyred idiots?

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Notice that the coward doesn't have the guts to come out and actually say Gravy's being paid, he just hints, so he can deny ever having said it if he's ever challenged. Just asking questions, as per his usual sleazeball tactics...

Sadly, true. Apparently the whole concept of evidence to support an accusation is one that never quite took hold in his/their noggins.

No.

Dog bites man is not news.

CTer: "We all know that it's physically impossible for an office fire to get hot enough to buckle steel columns and beams. It's impossible!"

JREFer: "Pssst! WTC 5, next floor to the top."

Irrefutable evidence of thermite/thermate/nanothermite being used on the WTC. You can still see the cutting charges surrounding the column! Looks like the government tried to take out WTC 5 as well.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

No.

Dog bites man is not news.

Why not?

Just write "Official Statement of the James Randi Educational Foundation" and I'm sure someone would pick it up.

Especially if it's a slow news day and it's on an emotionally sensitive topic like 9-11. The evening news loves anything that cranks up the old emo-meter.

EDIT: Just don't misspell "statement" like I did.

In the same spirit, here's one for Avery and all his admirers with their socially-arrested lips firmly planted on his backside: Can you say butt-ugly half-wit? I can. Shucks, I can even spell it. Here's I'll give you a hint: D-Y-L...

There has to be a name to the process of thinking that people who disagree with you are automatically the enemy.

 

[Belz...]

I think that was Childlike Empress.

That one was unfortunate as a troll. She had a nice nickname.

This is not a good idea, the JREF can make their own decisions regarding press releases, Posting on the JREF forums doesn't give us the right to speak for JREF,

I mean geggy posted here, and we wouldn't want him to put out an "Official Statement of the James Randi Educational Foundation".

 

[Belz...]

Well, they certainly blow. That's half the battle.

And we know what the other half is: KNOWING.

 

[Gravy]

Well, nesNYC made a total arse of himself and got banned from the 911studies forum, and on LC they've removed his posts about me, which was nice of them to do without being asked. Avery's is still there, though, and I've emailed him to ask that it be removed. I don't think he realizes that I take screen shots of idiocy like that for future use. The header of my email was, "Am I really someone you want to piss off?"

It's clearing up. Looks like it may be good fireworks viewing after all!
Happy fourth!

Can we submit a press release on how the "scholars" are a bunch of hypocritical whiny self-martyred idiots?

No, but there would not be much difficulty to submitting press releases on errors that we find in the work of the "Scholars".

The Screw Loose Change blog today called on James Fetzer to withdraw his claim that Barbara Olson is alive and living in Europe.

"Scholars for 9-11 Truth Co-Chair James Fetzer claimed on the Alan Colmes show that he had a report that Barbara Olson was alive in Europe," said a spokesman for Screw Loose Change. "This report appears to have originated with Tom Flocco, a supposed internet "journalist" whose other recent scoops included the reported death of Katherine Harris and the indictments of President Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. For Dr Fetzer to pass on this unsubstantiated rumor is callous and insensitive to the feelings of Mrs Olson's family and friends. It appears that the Scholars are not overly concerned with the "Truth".

Is there anyone here with the appropriate authority to make it official?

Religious bigotry?

[MarkyX]

What "whistle blowers" by the way? Did I miss something?

Some people who apparently worked for the government, and instead of testifying in front of congress or going to the mainstream media to correct the mistakes in the 9/11 commission report, they ask you to buy their self-published book instead.

EDIT: I think that is my longest run-on sentence evAr.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

Cult

Plain old paranoia also works (ie: They're ALL out to get me!)

A good start may be Jeff Wagg, or even just e-mail Randi himself.

Someday I'll have to get around to banning him from SLC. I am constantly amazed how powerful those Jews are. According to him, they are responsible for everything.

Jews made me flunk algebra in high school.

(Well, I didn't actually flunk algebra in high school -- but if I had, it would've been the Jews' fault.)
