What is your 9/11 Expertise?

[Gravy]

I need to get some expertise so I can get on that list. I thought of some new qualifications. Maybe these will do.

• I can throw a football 80 yards.
• When I was twelve I set an unofficial world record for catching coins off my elbow.
• Arthur Miller once played a practical joke on me.
• I used to be able to recite "A Child's Christmas in Wales" from memory, but no so much anymore.
• I received news coverage in Vienna for waltzing to the Blue Danube Waltz in the Danube.
• I have one of the largest collections of American popular song owned by a non-homosexual.
• I am a dog whisperer.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn the other night.

It only counts if it was a Holiday Inn Express. Sorry, but that's the rule!

TAM,

I should point out that I worked in dynamics with the great physicist Louis Alvarez Jr.

He gave me a D.

(Best D I ever got.)

My university physics class was in the Gerhard Herzberg (Nobel winner) building at Carleton University in Ottawa. (he was a former chancellor of the University)
I got a C+ in physics that year.

I suppose I can add something here; I have a bachelor's degree in psychology (enables me to spot the BS *G*) and I'm working on a Masters degree in Strategic Intelligence. I have five, almost six years in the US Army with a background in military intelligence, and I currently work in the US Intelligence Community. So basically I'm reasonably qualified to speak to the workings of the government and their likely actions in response to the supposed warnings prior to 9/11.

Curses! Then all I have to offer is my moral indignation towards truthers.

 

[JonnyFive]

I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express while traveling with some friends once...

...it smelled strongly of paint and I slept on the floor.

But, on the other hand, I'm now qualified to perform surgery. Move over, TAM, there's a new doct... oh [rule 10] I just sliced my own hand open, excuse me a moment.

[*] Arthur Miller once played a practical joke on me.

We're going to need you to elaborate on this one point here Mark.

 

[Brainache]

I studied first year logic in the philosophy department of Wollongong University 1983.(pass conceded)

I bet you aren't wondering why I didn't post that earlier.

 

[ZENSMACK89]

Lost on the way to kindergarten and somehow found myself down to ground zero NYC where I was taken in and raised by a pack of wild "Inside Job" conspiracy theorist.

Then later on…

I’m a trained commercial artist
Graduated from Kean in NJ (but not for art)
I presently work in the IT field (I received additional training for this also)

 

[Parsman]

FWIW

9 O Levels, 4 Highers, 1 CSYS (Scottish High School Equivalent exams)

MA (Hons) in Politics and Modern History (University of Edinburgh 1980-84)

PGCSE Modern Studies and History (Scottish teaching qualification)

I believe that the "original" theory - i.e. the result of extensive study of the available evidence by qualified and experienced professionals - is essentially correct.

 

[sts60]

BA (yes, BA) physics (space physics concentration) and anthropology
MS, electrical engineering
MS, systems engineering/engineering management

15 years space engineering experience, including laboratory vacuum systems operations, flight software/firmware development, payload and satellite/Shuttle integration and test, crew training, mission simulations, satellite operations (payload controller during three STS missions); ground segment integration and test for space-based launch detection warning system, including USAF satellite control network training; ground segment software development, integration, and test, and flight control for commercial high-resolution imaging spacecraft; aerospace nuclear systems engineering.

As far as what's actually relevant to 9/11 issues from the above? I have nodding familiarity with materials issues and testing, but I'm not a materials or structures guy by any means. I've had a clearance or two, and experience working with NASA, DOE, and DoD types, and worked for small, medium, and large outfits, so I've got some sense of and training in how various organizations function.

Also, 5+ years experience firefighter/EMT-B (volunteer in large combination department), including training in incident command and building construction/collapse considerations; trained to awareness level in confined space/trench rescue, operations level in hazmat, and technician level in rope rescue and vehicle and machinery search and rescue; training in response to terrorism incidents.

 

[T.A.M.]

Gravy:

While we know your Formal training is in English Literature, and EVERYTHING NYC, I also would have to say that you are extremely well studied in all things 9/11.

This list was merely created as a reference, not a bragging post, and I hope no one takes it that way. the proof is always in the argument, not the qualifications...

Proof of this...two of our top debunkers, R.Mackey, and Gravy, are trained officially in two extremely diverse fields, one of them focused on the arts, the other on science, yet when it comes to the facts and theories of 9/11, they are both excellent at dismantling the bunk.

I've always figured it provides a point of reference for those with skills that specifically might apply to 9/11 issues. When mentioning my qualifications, I tried to include only those issues that related in some way to 9/11 conspiracies.

I can also design a fully-functional version of "Tetris" using MS Access, but it has nothing to do with 9/11.

 

[T.A.M.]

well to be honest, the ONLY reason I tried to compile the list was a counter to the idea that this was just a forum full of uneducated shills.

I make delicious NWO cookies with a thin layer of chem-trail laced fudge in the center (don't worry, they have zero trans-fat).

Also, when that guy was explaining to Darth Vader that the Emporer asks the impossible and that he "needs more men", I was one of those men.

So I'm an expert in space beams.

In all seriousness, my expertise is my knowing that I have no expertise and that there's a pretty solid chance that those who have spent years in school to become learned in the various fields that pertain to 9/11 just may have a better understanding of the events than I do.

Knowing what you do not know is true knowledge.

TAM

Well, that's a good reason too.

 

[tsig]

You know a simple way of sorting out architects who didn't understand structures was to ask 'em whether gable restraint straps were to hold the gable or the roof up.

I suspect that our CT "experts" would still be googling "restraint strap". Or perhaps "gable".

No they would think you were talking about sex.

 

[Architect]

Useful skills for debating truthers......hmmm.

I fenced at national level for my University and once was accidentally picked for the Scottish Universities' rugby union 3rd XV playing the Japs at St. Andrews because I was wandering around looking bored and they were a player short. In fact, I'd just been booted out a fencing competition in the second round.

Does that count?
