Like you-know-who (not Santa) it is high-time
for enforcement officials to make a list and
check it twice for these flagrant Patriot-Act scofflaws. To wit:
Senator Max Cleland ~ Former member of the 9/11 Commission . . .
A good man, but not a structural engineer.
Col. Robert Bowman, U.S. Air Force, Director of
Advanced Space Programs, PhD Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering "
This guy is the only one on the list competent to
judge the NIST study in detail.
Did he conclude the building was brought down by
explosives? Then he is a flake with a PhD, like
Steve Jones. The events surrounding cold fusion
have proved there are many highly educated
fruitcakes and idiots in the scientific
establishment -- which should come as no
surprise. Or did he conclude there was a
political cover-up or some other machination that
would not have left physical evidence? That is
another subject entirely. I am not address that
issue and I have no opinion about it.
Senator Mark Dayton ~ Member, Senate Committee on Armed Services . . .
Congressman Ron Paul . . .
Congressman Curt Weldon . . .
No more qualified than the cop on the corner as
far as I know. Lots of Senators and others in
high places have assured me with the utmost
authority that cold fusion does not exist. I do
not trust the judgement of people who are
discussing matters in which they have no expertise or track record.
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney . . .
MY former representative! I knew her, Horatio. A
woman of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.
And a certified nut, if ever there was one. This
is another Steve Jones test: If McKinney says
there is something to it, you can be damn sure there isn't.
I will grant, a stopped clock is right twice a day . . .
Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Paul
Craig Roberts, PhD ~ "Distinguished national and
international scientists and scholars present
massive evidence that the 9/11 Commission Report
is a hoax and that the 9/11 "terrorist attack"
has been manipulated to serve a hegemonic agenda in the Middle East...
Again, did this guy claim there is a conspiracy,
or did he claim thermite was involved? If he made
the latter claim, then why do you take the
judgement of an economist over that of "some 200
technical expertsÂincluding about 85 career NIST
experts and 125 leading experts from the private
sector and academia"? Or do you think the
administration bought off or frightened these 200
experts? You are acting just like U.S. and
Japanese officials who take the word of Time
magazine reporter over the conclusions reached by
200 electrochemists who have done 15 years of relevant research.
