Truther figures exposed (no nudity)

Jones removed it from his website but it is available in the web archives.

Thanks bje! I added a link to that paper, along with the communism claim to Alex Jones and credentials of Judy Wood, Paul Joseph Watson, Steve Watson and Doug Plumb, as well as Luke's motivation behind his activism.

 

[The Demon's Head]

How so much belief was put into these theories is beyond me. What is even more bizarre is how some continue to believe these thoeries even though there is no evidence to support the claims. Either these leaders of the truth want to make a name for themselves or they are just terribly stubborn and ignore everything that proves their claims wrong.

 

[jhunter1163]

Does Morgan Reynolds rate a mention? He was kind of the pioneer no-planer, actually held a fairly important post in Bush's first administration (don't remember what it was though). Although he's now gone totally off the deep end, so much so that even Truthers don't take him seriously anymore.

ETA: He is a professor emeritus at Texas A&M and was chief economist for the US Dept. of Labor in 2001-02.

Here's a link that deals with DRG and parapsychology: http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/search?q=David+Ray+Griffin+parapsychology

I added Katrina, tsunami and chemtrails to Alex Jones. He is really something..

Have you want to list everything Jones believes/has believed you could be here a long time!

Probably not a good line of attack. As far as I'm aware Steven Jones's work on catalysed fusion has been entirely respectable, and he wasn't involved in the Fleischmann-Pons debacle.

Dave

True, but it doesn't say much when that's the most scientific thing you're known for.


I do think you're underestimating the popularity of Hufschmid and Icke, at least within certain circles.

Wikipedia has some good info on Fetzer's loony beliefs about JFK and Paul Wellstone.

Well, a new study identifies the root cause - NPD.

 

[Alareth]

Steven Jones believes that Jesus visited America, and apparently wrote a paper on it.

Well to be absolutely fair, Jones is a Mormon and Jesus visting the north american natives is one of the tenents of their belief system. To single him out for that in such a manner is wrong.

 

[SpitfireIX]

You should probably mention A K Dewdney^WP, well-known computer scientist and September 11 crackpot. Dewdney conducted a "study" purporting to prove that cell-phone calls from airliners are virtually impossible, by flying around the London, Ontario metro area in a light plane and attempting to place calls. He also wrote an article claiming the calls could have been faked by agents using real-time voice-morphing technology, and that said agents might have flown the flights in question previously and engaged the passengers in conversation in order to learn personal details that would convince relatives that the calls were genuine. He also insinuates that the relatives ignored inconsistencies in the calls due to wishful thinking.

Dewdney has also developed an "inside-job" scenario, "Operation Pearl," that claims only about 36 people would have been required to stage the attacks.

Finally, Dewdney and one of his cohorts claim here that the Pentagon damage does not fit an airliner crash, and he has attacked the Purdue University computer simulation on frankly silly grounds (such as not modeling the tail structure), under color of his expertise in computer science. [disclaimer]I have a BA in American and European history from Purdue, and I'm currently attending a regional campus part-time in mechanical engineering[/disclaimer]

Sorry--I just noticed that the Wikipedia link is broken; evidently they removed the "redirected from" page. Try Alexander Dewdney^WP. Perhaps I should have mentioned that he wrote a "Computer Recreations" column in Scientific American for about 10 years, so I'd say he's arguably the "Truther" who was most well-known before the September 11 attack (not counting celebs, of course).

 

[LashL]

Not a new thing, I know. But a compact and different one I'd like to think this brings at least something to the table. If not, I had a blast doing it anyway. We know much of this stuff anyway. I just collected it with hopefully the newest links.

It does, indeed, bring something to the table, ref. The various lists complement each other quite nicely. Great work!

On another note, I decided to include the CIT's and wearechangers anyway. These are all linked to each other anyway.

Hmmm. My $0.02 on this is that they should not be included in this fashion as they are "groups" rather than individuals and, therefore, mess up the list, which is otherwise comprised of individuals. Perhaps, to maintain consistency, you might consider listing the individuals that you refer to in those entries rather than the names of the groups? (Same thing with PffffT - if it needs mentioning, perhaps the entry should be Robert Balsamo rather than PffftT, to keep it consistent with Gage and his separate troofer group, Fetzer and his separate troofer group, Jones and his separate troofer group, etc. etc.) Like I said, just my $0.02.

 

[DGM]

Where does Ace Baker fall into all of this? Or is he is on kind of lunatic?

I'll make the changes from groups to individuals. It's a good idea and pretty easy adjustment to make.

 

[gumboot]

What about this one?

You might also want to consider Paul Thompson, author of The Terror Timeline (AKA The Complete 9/11 Timeline).

I'm not sure Thompson even knows himself what he believes. His timeline reads like a CT supermarket. His insinuations and "interpretations" support virtually every variation of 9/11 CTs you could possibly imagine.

He believes the mainstream media have failed to document the attacks accurately, yet his timeline is produced exclusively from mainstream media reports.

Changed the group titles to individual titles. Added Nico Haupt, Alexander Dewdney and more views to many people. Also added are ages to those I could find. If someone knows more ages, let me know.

I'm considering the likes of Paul Thompson and Jim Hoffman. They are not making such extreme claims as others here. Thompson only thinks something is wrong, Hoffman believes "only" in demolition and even debunks Pentagon truthers and Loose Change. I'll think whether to add them or not.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judy Wood (Ph.D. in Materials Engineering Science) - Believes Directed-Energy weapons were used in the destruction of the WTC. Ignores the fact that the space beam would require impossible amounts of energy.

The Judy Wood experience here. Her interview is here.

James "Jim" Fetzer (66) (Ph.D. in history and philosophy of science) - Supports Judy Wood and her Space Beam research. Says Judy Wood is the most qualified person to analyze WTC. Believes in no plane at the Pentagon -theory. Has one witness to support this theory. This witness didn't even see the actual event. Ignores all the other witnesses, the DNA evidence, the impact damage, debris found at the scene and all the other evidence supporting the fact that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Also maintains that John F. Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a planned and precisely executed conspiracy, which included altering the autopsy X-rays, substituting another brain, and recreating the Zapruder film using sophisticated techniques of optical printing and special effects. Numerous other dubious claims not mentioned here.

His debate on 9/11 with Mark Roberts is here (part 1), here (part 2) and here (part 3).

Richard Gage (AIA, Architect) - Claims the foreknowledge of the collapses by NYPD and FDNY is proof of controlled demolition. In other words, he claims NYPD and FDNY have knowledge of the controlled demolition, but remain silent. Says controlled demolition is clearly outside the scope of his training and expertise, yet he also says there is a solid and convincing case proving all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolitions. Joined the truth movement after reading David Ray Griffin.

His proof of controlled demolition is here. His admission he is no expert in demolitions is here.

Kevin Barrett (48) (master's degree in English literature and French, Ph.D. in African languages and literature with a minor in folklore) - Believes there were no Islamic terrorists involved in 9/11 and that genuine Islamic terrorism doesn't exist. Tried to find one alive hijacker in Morocco, but did no research beforehand. Only when in Morocco, he found out the person he is looking for may not even be in the same country. A simple call to the embassies and airlines from the US could have told him that. Ignores all the evidence. Believes that the 7/7/05 London bombings, and the 2004 Madrid bombings were the actions of a "special wing of, probably, U.S. or western military intelligence".

Kevin Barrett's trip to Morocco is described here. Kevin Barrett's behaviour exposed here.

Webster Tarpley (AB in English and Italian, MA in humanities) - Believes there were no Islamic terrorists involved. Says people from the caves couldn't do that. Accuses Bush and Cheney. To some extent believes in the space beam theories. Ignores all the evidence. Claims that Prescott Bush got rich helping finance the Third Reich, and the money he made became the core of the Bush family's wealth.

Webster Tarpley's views in his article here. Prescott Bush claim can be found here.

Steven Jones (58) (Ph.D. in physics) - Claims thermite/thermate brought the towers down. Got his dust samples from one single source (a truther), and this dust was exposed to all surrounding conditions for a minimum of nine days before collected. Ignores all the natural explanations for his findings. Ignores the fact that thermite cuts downwards. Has experimented with Cold Nuclear Fusion, nowadays known as Muon-catalyzed fusion. Specialized in Metal-catalyzed fusion, Archaeometry, and Solar energy. Believes that Jesus visited America, and has written a paper about it, called "Behold My Hands: Evidence for Christ's Visit in Ancient America". Joined the movement after getting to know Jim Hoffman's work.

The experiences of his dust sample source, Janette MacKinlay and the nine day interval are described here. MacKinlay exposed as a hardcore truther here. His latest paper is here.

Dylan Avery (23) (denied admission twice by Purchase College's film school) - Where do we start. Ignores all criticism. Bans all people from his forums who even politely disagree with his theories. Compares his efforts to the likes of Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks and others. Has said Pentagon is the easiest sell. Says his movie includes errors and dubious claims. Has ridiculed and laughed at the story of passengers and crew surrendering to the threat of boxcutters. Brags about the money being made off the busted Virgin Airlines deal. We could write pages about him alone. Film mates with Jason Bermas and Korey Rowe. His new film is going to be produced by Alex Jones (see Alex Jones).

More Avery blurbs here and here. His debate with Mark Roberts is here (part 1) and here (part 2).

Jason Bermas (graphic designer)- Said the firefighters were paid off. Then later corrected himself by saying a jedi mind trick was pulled on him. Otherwise, see Dylan Avery.

Says the Oklahoma bombing was orchestrated by the FBI. Says the 1993 WTC bombing was orchestrated by the FBI. Says there is a New World Order, an Illuminati, an evil entity of powerful people that control and dominate the entire world. Says the NWO/Illuminati leave signs and give clues of their work, but are so arrogant they just don't care if someone (Alex Jones) notices. Says there is a plan to get rid of most of the population of the world. Claims all the terrorists are patsies. Has speculated the Virginia Tech shootings being a government black-op, Hurricane Katrina being weather manipulation and the 2004 Tsunami possibly caused by a deliberate under sea detonation. Believes in Chemtrails, JFK assassination being a government operation and US Government foreknowledge and allowance of Pearl Harbor. Claims that Communism was a plot by international banks in the early 1900s to oppress the Russian serfs. Producer of Loose Change Final Cut.

Will not answer any questions regarding his story. Will not debate his critics. Claims he's on a no-fly list, but is going to Europe for the summer and was in Venezuela recently. How does he make those trips? Recently made the statement "I am 9/11".

His claims are analyzed extensively here. His "I am 9/11" and "no-fly list" claims are made here.

Robert Balsamo (JDX, JohnDoeX) (pilot) - Claims the Flight 77 flight data recorder found at the Pentagon rubble proves, that Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon. If the FDR data is correct, Flight 77 did hit the Pentagon. If the FDR data is faked, why did they fake it not to show a hit. Why not fake it to show the plane hit the Pentagon. And this FDR data is what he bases his whole theory on.

Robert Balsamo interviewed here.

Luke Rudkowski (20) - Leader of the We Are Change -group. Got involved in the truther community after being beaten by the NYPD. Organizes street actions and demonstrations. Specializes in confrontations. Recently confronted Rudy Giuliani and Mr. Rockefeller. His group's methods are questionable.

Sorry about the long post again! I just couldn't edit the previous anymore. I had to add the David Ray Griffin parapsychology link. It's unbelievable. I wonder what else comes to surface. I didn't know nearly this much stuff about these truthers before I started writing this.

In 1997 he wrote a book about Parapsychology, Philosophy and Spirituality. In this book Griffin articulates a constructive postmodern philosophy that allows the parapsychological evidence to be taken seriously. Griffin examines this evidence extensively and identifies four types of repeatable phenomena that suggest the reality of extrasensory perception and psychokinesis. He examines five types of evidence for the reality of life after death: messages from mediums; apparitions; cases of the possession type; cases of the reincarnation type; and out-of-body experiences.

[Dave Rogers]

Ref,

You should probably include Jim Hoffman, who's probably created more 9/11 CT web material than most (www.911review.com, 911research.wtc7.net), and IIRC was involved in the recent San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury (or whatever they called themselves) fiasco. Believes the towers were CD's, planes under remote control hit WTC1/2 and the Pentagon but United 93 was a genuine hi-jack, and his 911review site contains a lot of material debunking the conspiracy theories he personally doesn't agree with. Also believes that 500 tons of TNT was required to account for the expansion of the dust cloud after the WTC collapses.

Dave

 

[ref]

Ok, I'll add Jim Hoffman

I know his sites, I have to dig in to see deeper into his beliefs. I know he is pro-CD and anti-no-planes, and a critic of loose change. I'll do that after I get home from work. It's 2:34 PM in here folks.

I also won't be adding David Icke. Those who believe world leaders are reptiles, won't make my list. Google will give info of him, if someone wants to know more.

 

[SpitfireIX]

Here's some more information about Doug Plumb. I was going to post this in the AE911T thread, but as you're including him in your Who's Who (or perhaps a better title would be The Usual Suspects ), I thought it would be more appropriate here.

I came across the following in an unsuccessful attempt to determine where he got his degree.

Here is his meetup.com page for a Toronto "Truther" group (presumably the same one discussed in this thread, but of course one can never be certain with conspiracists ("The Judean People's Front?? We're the People's Front of Judea!!" )

Here is Plumb's other Meetup.com page. In addition to the "Truther" group, he belongs to a fringe political party known as the Canadian Action Party^WP. From their web site, their main platform planks appear to be anti-globalization, anti-business, paranoia about being absorbed by the US, and September 11 conspiracism. According to the wikipedia article, the CAP received about 1/3 or one percent of the popular vote in the last general election.

Here is a blog entry that he made that expresses his conspiracist views. It's very enlightening. An abridged version was later published by the online paper that owns the blog.

Here is his company web site. He describes himself in the blog article as a "self-employed computer programmer."

Added Jim Hoffman, Christopher Bollyn, Eric Hufschmid and Paul Thompson. The Hoffman part came out pretty well actually. Many claims.

Judy Wood (Ph.D. in Materials Engineering Science) - Believes Directed-Energy weapons were used in the destruction of the WTC. Ignores the fact that the space beam would require impossible amounts of energy.

The Judy Wood experience here. Her interview is here.

James "Jim" Fetzer (66) (Ph.D. in history and philosophy of science) - Supports Judy Wood and her Space Beam research. Says Judy Wood is the most qualified person to analyze WTC. Believes in no plane at the Pentagon -theory. Has one witness to support this theory. This witness didn't even see the actual event. Ignores all the other witnesses, the DNA evidence, the impact damage, debris found at the scene and all the other evidence supporting the fact that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Also maintains that John F. Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a planned and precisely executed conspiracy, which included altering the autopsy X-rays, substituting another brain, and recreating the Zapruder film using sophisticated techniques of optical printing and special effects. Numerous other dubious claims not mentioned here.

His debate on 9/11 with Mark Roberts is here (part 1), here (part 2) and here (part 3).

Richard Gage (AIA, Architect) - Claims the foreknowledge of the collapses by NYPD and FDNY is proof of controlled demolition. In other words, he claims NYPD and FDNY have knowledge of the controlled demolition, but remain silent. Says controlled demolition is clearly outside the scope of his training and expertise, yet he also says there is a solid and convincing case proving all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolitions. Joined the truth movement after reading David Ray Griffin.

His proof of controlled demolition is here. His admission he is no expert in demolitions is here.

David Ray Griffin (67) (Ph.D. in philosophical theology) - Doubts the authenticity of all the on-flight phone calls. Believes in controlled demolition. Believes some of the alleged hijackers are still alive. Says no plane hit the Pentagon, NORAD was ordered to stand down and Flight 93 was shot down. Supports numerous claims not mentioned here. Ignores all the evidence against his theories. Has admitted one mistake, after it was pointed to him by a fellow truther. Thinks TWA800 was shot down by Al Qaeda. In 1997 he wrote a book about Parapsychology, Philosophy and Spirituality. In this book Griffin articulates a constructive postmodern philosophy that allows the parapsychological evidence to be taken seriously. Griffin examines this evidence extensively and identifies four types of repeatable phenomena that suggest the reality of extrasensory perception and psychokinesis. He examines five types of evidence for the reality of life after death: messages from mediums; apparitions; cases of the possession type; cases of the reincarnation type; and out-of-body experiences. Fact checker for Loose Change Final Cut.

His extensive lecture from his visit to Denmark is here. Griffin is dealt with here. His admission of one mistake and his continuing doubt of the authenticity of the phone calls is here.

Kevin Barrett (48) (master's degree in English literature and French, Ph.D. in African languages and literature with a minor in folklore) - Believes there were no Islamic terrorists involved in 9/11 and that genuine Islamic terrorism doesn't exist. Tried to find one alive hijacker in Morocco, but did no research beforehand. Only when in Morocco, he found out the person he is looking for may not even be in the same country. A simple call to the embassies and airlines from the US could have told him that. Ignores all the evidence. Believes that the 7/7/05 London bombings, and the 2004 Madrid bombings were the actions of a "special wing of, probably, U.S. or western military intelligence".

Kevin Barrett's trip to Morocco is described here. Kevin Barrett's behaviour exposed here.

Webster Tarpley (AB in English and Italian, MA in humanities) - Believes there were no Islamic terrorists involved. Says people from the caves couldn't do that. Accuses Bush and Cheney. To some extent believes in the space beam theories. Ignores all the evidence. Claims that Prescott Bush got rich helping finance the Third Reich, and the money he made became the core of the Bush family's wealth.

Webster Tarpley's views in his article here. Prescott Bush claim can be found here.

Steven Jones (58) (Ph.D. in physics) - Claims thermite/thermate brought the towers down. Got his dust samples from one single source (a truther), and this dust was exposed to all surrounding conditions for a minimum of nine days before collected. Ignores all the natural explanations for his findings. Ignores the fact that thermite cuts downwards. Has experimented with Cold Nuclear Fusion, nowadays known as Muon-catalyzed fusion. Specialized in Metal-catalyzed fusion, Archaeometry, and Solar energy. Believes that Jesus visited America, and has written a paper about it, called "Behold My Hands: Evidence for Christ's Visit in Ancient America". Joined the movement after getting to know Jim Hoffman's work.

The experiences of his dust sample source, Janette MacKinlay and the nine day interval are described here. MacKinlay exposed as a hardcore truther here. His latest paper is here.

Dylan Avery (23) (denied admission twice by Purchase College's film school) - Where do we start. Ignores all criticism. Bans all people from his forums who even politely disagree with his theories. Compares his efforts to the likes of Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks and others. Has said Pentagon is the easiest sell. Says his movie includes errors and dubious claims. Has ridiculed and laughed at the story of passengers and crew surrendering to the threat of boxcutters. Brags about the money being made off the busted Virgin Airlines deal. We could write pages about him alone. Film mates with Jason Bermas and Korey Rowe. His new film is going to be produced by Alex Jones (see Alex Jones).

More Avery blurbs here and here. His debate with Mark Roberts is here (part 1) and here (part 2).

Jason Bermas (graphic designer)- Said the firefighters were paid off. Then later corrected himself by saying a jedi mind trick was pulled on him. Otherwise, see Dylan Avery.

More Bermas blurbs here and here. His debate with Mark Roberts is here (part 1) and here (part 2).

Korey Rowe (24) (former US Army soldier) - Says errors were intentionally put into Loose Change. Otherwise, see Dylan Avery.

Alex Jones (33) (radio host, fired from KJFK-FM in 1999 because of his views) - The father figure. Source to numerous conspiracy claims. Has implied the FDNY were complicit of murder. Says the 7/7/05 London bombings were orchestrated by British intelligence. Says global warming is a hoax. Says AIDS was orchestrated by the high powers of the world. Says the Oklahoma bombing was orchestrated by the FBI. Says the 1993 WTC bombing was orchestrated by the FBI. Says there is a New World Order, an Illuminati, an evil entity of powerful people that control and dominate the entire world. Says the NWO/Illuminati leave signs and give clues of their work, but are so arrogant they just don't care if someone (Alex Jones) notices. Says there is a plan to get rid of most of the population of the world. Claims all the terrorists are patsies. Has speculated the Virginia Tech shootings being a government black-op, Hurricane Katrina being weather manipulation and the 2004 Tsunami possibly caused by a deliberate under sea detonation. Believes in Chemtrails, JFK assassination being a government operation and US Government foreknowledge and allowance of Pearl Harbor. Claims that Communism was a plot by international banks in the early 1900s to oppress the Russian serfs. Producer of Loose Change Final Cut.

His views are expressed here, here and here.

Paul Joseph Watson (25) (webmaster) & Steve Watson (27) (BA Degree in Literature and a Masters Degree in International Relations) - Work for and share the thoughts of Alex Jones.

Their views are expressed here, here and here.

Kevin Ryan (former manager of Underwriter's Laboratories water testing division) - Claims UL certified the WTC steel. Says it's impossible for the towers to have collapsed without controlled demolition. Tested water when working for UL, before being fired.

His lecture is here.

Doug Plumb (bachelors degree in electrical engineering) - Believes in mini-nukes at WTC. Supports Judy Wood. Is a recruiter for Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

His e-mails are here. His blog entry discussing his views is here.

William Rodriguez (45) (former magician and WTC janitor) - Has changed his story numerous times. Description of the event went from "rumble like moving furniture" to "explosion that knocked you in the air". Claims he knew when the plane hit, eventhough he was in a closed basement. Will not answer any questions regarding his story. Will not debate his critics. Claims he's on a no-fly list, but is going to Europe for the summer and was in Venezuela recently. How does he make those trips? Recently made the statement "I am 9/11".

His claims are analyzed extensively here. His "I am 9/11" and "no-fly list" claims are made here.

Robert Balsamo (JDX, JohnDoeX) (pilot) - Claims the Flight 77 flight data recorder found at the Pentagon rubble proves, that Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon. If the FDR data is correct, Flight 77 did hit the Pentagon. If the FDR data is faked, why did they fake it not to show a hit. Why not fake it to show the plane hit the Pentagon. And this FDR data is what he bases his whole theory on.

Robert Balsamo interviewed here.

Luke Rudkowski (20) - Leader of the We Are Change -group. Got involved in the truther community after being beaten by the NYPD. Organizes street actions and demonstrations. Specializes in confrontations. Recently confronted Rudy Giuliani and Mr. Rockefeller. His group's methods are questionable. They obtain addressess and appear on the doorsteps and public appearances of their chosen targets. Has close ties with Alex Jones and the Loose Change crew. Recently one of their group members was arrested when confronting a Rudy Giuliani employee.

Rockefeller confrontation here and Giuliani employee confronted here.

Craig Ranke (Lyte Trip) & Aldo Marquis (Merc) - Citizen Investigation Team. Claim no plane hit the Pentagon and focus on this issue. Ignore the evidence of debris, DNA, impact damage and most of the eyewitnesses. Have a couple of interviews with witnesses done years later, and they claim these interviews prove all their points. Close ties with Pilots for 9/11 Truth. Not much support from the truther community.

Pentacon the movie here.

Killtown - An internet personality stating some of the most outrageous claims. Believes in no planes at all -theory, everything was faked. Claims to have seen 911 written in the impact explosion clouds of the planes at the WTC. Claims the Val McClatchey smoke plume photo is fake. Was mentioned in the end credits of Loose Change 2nd edition and many claims in that film are based on his research. Later abandoned by those very same people.

His blog is here. Website here.

Nico Haupt (35) (ewing2001) (Web Consultant) - Believes no planes hit the WTC and the images of the planes were created by TV fakery.

His blog can be found here.

Alexander Dewdney (66) (Ph.D. in Math) - Claims that according to his studies the phone calls from the planes were virtually impossible and has suggested the calls were created using real-time voice morphing technology. Suggests agents flew the planes, and relatives ignored inconsistencies in the calls due to wishful thinking. Claims only about 36 people would have been required to stage the attacks (Operation Pearl).

His article on the cell phone calls can be found here.

Jim Hoffman (software engineer) - Strong supporter of the controlled demolition theory. Claims the entire 9/11 attack was an inside job not involving Al Qaida at all, because only US officials had access to the underlying infrastructure of the buildings and possibility to plant explosives. Claims Mr. Zdenek B. Bazant is ignorant of structural engineering (In reality he is one of world's leading structural engineers. Bazant's resume is here, Hoffman's bio here). Claims the planes were remotely controlled, because "It would not be rational for the planners of such an attack to entrust a key component of the operation - the piloting of the jetliners - to any human pilot". Claims NORAD was ordered to stand down. Suggests the attacks might have been carried out by as few as twelve individuals. Claims huge sums of money could have bought people's co-operation, keeping them silent. Claims the attacks were so bold and shocking, that even people who were involved in covering it up (like leaders in the media, FEMA, FBI, etc.) would fall for the fraud. Continues to cite the work of Eric Hufschmid and Christopher Bollyn, despite the fact that they are holocaust deniers or racist, because the selected works he cites do not betray them as holocaust deniers or racist.

You can find Jim Hoffman explaining his views here. His claim Bazant is ignorant of structural engineering here.

Christopher Bollyn (50) (degree in history) - Claims Israeli agents were involved in the attacks of 9/11. Speaks openly against Zionism and Israel. One of the main figures behind the no planes at Pentagon and Shanksville theories.

Eric Hufschmid (developer of CAD/CAM software) - Claims WTC buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition and Pentagon hit by a global hawk. Blames the 9/11 attacks on Zionists and Jews. Denies holocaust.

Paul Thompson (mid-30's) (bachelor in psychology) - Author of the "complete 9/11 timeline". Believes the mainstream media have failed to document the attacks accurately, yet his timeline is produced exclusively from mainstream media reports. Admits to believing that "to me there's no way the official story could hold true".

His admission of doubting the official story can be found here.

And finally, a link to Mark Iradian's video 9/11 Deniers Speak.

These are the people and beliefs the debunkers are dealing with. And what they want us to believe.

This article can be used side to side with the "Who's Who in the 911-truth movement" article by SLOB (notice that Killtown is not Nico Haupt as stated in that article).

 

[ref]

Oh, and Jason Bermas is 27 years old. I won't post a new list just to add that

Btw, I would have thought Alex Jones is like 40. Only 33

ETA: Ace, would you like to give us your brief bio and core beliefs regarding 9/11? I could add you. Or somebody else want to do that? I just don't want to crawl through all his threads and homepage. Or does he fit in there anyway. I have no idea how much influence he has, or is he just a lone truther.

 

[GwionX]

Oh, there is that John Conner/Mark Dice fellow. Although his schick of hijacking classrooms on college campuses should be a thing of the past in light of the recent tragedy at VT.
