The 9/11 Forum

An article worth reading and understanding written by a journalist with a functioning brain (so refreshing to see). Glenn Greenwald: Washington gets explicit: its 'war on terror' is permanent Senior Obama officials tell the US Senate: the 'war', in limitless form, will continue for 'at least' anothe...

To what degree does this same faith and confusion permeate the highest levels of the technical hierarchy? In addition to the NIST reports, a list of academic and professional literature on the WTC collapses is available at this link . As the reader looks over these sources, can they spot confusion i...

Polarity: An artificially narrowed false choice These are representations of an electric field created by a pair of equal and opposite point charges. in 2-D http://mynewskiller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/454px-Electric_dipole_field_lines.svg_-300x288.png 3-D http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research...

Sweet, sweet surrender Complete reliance on technical authorities will naturally lead a person to a state of belief, but they won't necessarily be aware that they are believing. They may see it as authoritative certainty and professional consensus (false certainty). There is something being given u...

So, the limitations which OWE sees within forum exchanges permeates journalism as well. Lastly, to what degree does this same faith and confusion permeate the highest levels of the technical hierarchy? In addition to the NIST reports, a list of academic and professional literature on the WTC collaps...

As an example of how even more careful journalists tend to perceive the issue of the WTC collapses, Robert Parry updated one of his articles on 9/11 conspiracies after the Tucson shootings. Parry: Update: On Sunday, in a profile of alleged Tucson gunman Jared L. Loughner, the New York Times reported...

Please consider how different levels of the techical pyramid interact. Journalists are as helpless as any average Joe when it comes to fact-checking highly technical information. I have never yet seen a case of a journalist who isn't thoroughly trapped within an artificially narrowed false choice. E...

Science vs subjectivity is the title of the first section of my "book". It would also be interesting to compare science to propaganda or public relations. They seem to follow a very different and mutually contradictory set of rules. A quick review of "Propaganda" in wikipedia lin...

These are the main key words I use repeatedly in my "book" and website: science vs subjectivity verification mappings misrepresentations anomaly structure and mechanism an artificially narrowed false choice false certainty vulnerability gullibility denial obedience authority suggestibility...

This is a quote from OWE posted on p 8 of the "coddling technical monkeys" thread: Having followed great swaths of this debate over the course of years, as well as participating in some aspects, I long ago came to some unavoidable conclusions which are not generally recognized or accepted....

If nothing else 9/11 discussion has revealed how irrational and illogical (misapplication of logic and wrong headed thinking) are very common and perhaps the norm not the exception. It is easy to spot the extreme cases. If you see some guy having a detailed exchange with a banana, you can easily sp...

One the metalevel, where we like to go, consider this: psikeyhackr's problem with potential energy is that he doesn't understand that dynamics is concerned with change in potential energy, which satisfies Galilean invariance. He thinks he understands kinetic energy but actually has the exact same p...

We are way off topic here, but.... Ozeco answers, today on JREF: Dunno on this "911 truth fuzzy plot". Major_Tom Has not made any pro 911 truth claims I am aware of for say last couple of years. Doesn't say much because he rarely makes any claims. Continues to plug his silly book at every ...

2) The place of divergent thinking ploys in the tactics of Internet Forum discussions. Reference to Major_Tom's discussion methods not required. I doubt they fit in the ethos of this forum. :roll: I'm game but I would simply walk away when the evasions cut in. You know nothing about the technical c...

As mentioned earlier, Enik, you are the next target. What is the scenario are we discussing? There are two in the thread and the thread discussions have moved away from the OP challenge onto a simpler scenario. Both are worthy of exploration. But they are different. The two are: 1) The OP asks for a...
