Con men are successful because they are so smooth that their sounds
are often mistaken for sincere speech. That is surely
the case with Fred Burks. Here he promotes the continuation
of the abuse of the
society's email list with a specious pitch for "voting" in
order to replicate an illegal, null and void effort
of the recent past. Apparently, the results were not
what they wanted, so they are
going to do it all over again. As they know, Scholars
has members but is not run by its members. There are
no procedures for voting
on issues. Which means that, in order to create a phony
pretext for siezing control of the society's web site,
they have to transform
it into one of another kind.
If you wonder how you can tell whether he is a credible source, you
can look beyond his service as a translator for George W. Bush (who,
as the world well knows, places an enormous premium on loyalty to
him personally) and consider whether the allegations he makes about
me--in relation to the possible use of directed energy weapons at
the WTC, the time of fall of a piano from the top of a 110 story building,
and the "collapse" of the Twin Towers "faster than
free fall"--are or are not justified. I explained to him and
others OVER A MONTH AGO why his depictions were false and misleading.
(See the email below.)
That, however, has not inhibited him from recycling trash talk all
over again, even when they know it is a distortion
of my views. And you know they know better from the
email proof I have offered below.
More interesting than this latest attempt to take what
does not belong to them by fabricating a pretext cloaked
in a fake commitment to democracy--which
bears comparison to actions by Burk's mentor in advancing
a fake commitment to democracy in order to take control
of Iraqi oil--is the situation
with my former co-chair, Steve Jones. While Fred resurrects
phony issues, Steve refuses to confront very real ones.
Steve has claimed that his positions have been misrepresented in
the past and that attacks upon them are "unscientific".
As a philosopher of science, I am fascinated by issues of this kind,
so I invited him to appear on my talk radio program, "The Dynamic
Duo", with Judy Wood and Morgan Reynolds, on 2 January.
They have been the targets of these charges, which
are posted on stj911.org, the web site for Steve's
new society. Steve did not appear, but the program
has been transcribed and has been
archived at st911.org and 911scholars.org. I think
it marks a step forward in exposing falsehoods and
revealing truths.
Anyone who wants to form an impression of Scholars for 9/11 Truth
and Justice, the name of this new group, should visit
stj911.org and take a look around. I think it would
be worthwhile to compare what
you find there with what you find at Scholars for 9/11
Truth. You are always weldome to join this new society.
Nothing about membership in Scholars precludes that.
Creating a new society and joining a new society should
not be confused with attempting to damage, destroy,
or steal an old one. And that's
what this "voting" is all about. I find it insulting that
these people would attempt to play you for suckers.

Free fall speed through air for a grand piano would have taken longer
than the time in which the towers were demolished.
Do we agree on that? A piano would take from 12.5 seconds
(Steve's example of a very
heavy "baby" grand) to as much as 30 seconds (Judy's friend's
examples). These times are faster than the times of
the destruction of the towers at 10 seconds (The 9/11
Commission Report) and 9 and 11 seconds (NIST). Unless 9, 10 and 11
seconds
are equal or greater time than 12.5 seconds, the towers
were destroyed at a rate faster than free fall in air!
What about this is unscientific?
What about this do you not understand?
I have expressed frustration because I am stunned that
you would question this result. Since Judy Wood offered her series
of elegant billiard ball proofs, I assumed you understood them. Have
either of you studied her work? I highly recommend it. I presumed
persons of your education and intellect would grasp what I take to
be one of the most important proofs the official account cannot possibly
be wrong, because it contradicts laws of physics that are inviolable
