On 9/11 Bullshit

Kevin Barrett

“It is just this lack of connection to a concern with truth – this indifference to how things really are – that I regard as of the essence of bullshit.”  Henry G. Frankfurt, On Bullshit p. 33-34 America is drowning in 9/11 bullshit. I’m not talking about the “conspiracy theories” that Cass Sunstein deplores. Nor am I talking about the Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) per se. Yes, the OCT is bullshit. But only 16% of Americans believe the OCT. That mentally-challenged minority is not the problem. The problem is that the 84% that doesn’t believe the OCT – most of…

Barrie Zwicker: Maybe Shermer Really IS an Add-Junk Professor!

Kevin Barrett

After a grand total of 76 comments, the verdict is in: untruther Michael Shermer is NOT an Adjunct Professor of Economics at Claremont Graduate University. He is therefore guilty of falsification of credentials – a serious offense in academia. Barrie Zwicker writes to offer Shermer an alibi: “Perhaps all this is just a huge misunderstanding! It may just be that people haven’t heard what Professor Shermer has been saying. “He may have been saying ‘I am an add-junk perfesser. I perfess to add junk.’” “So then who’s to fault him? “Just asking.” —Barrie Zwicker, author, Towers of Deception: The Media…

Untruther Michael Shermer Caught Posing as Professor!

Kevin Barrett

Click here, and forward to the last ten minutes of today’s show, to hear Professor Anthony Hall expose “Professor” Shermer on Truth Jihad Radio. Michael Shermer, editor of Skeptic Magazine, has been caught impersonating a professor. Oddly enough, Shermer – a leading 9/11 untruther – has been falsely claiming to be an Adjunct Professor of Economics at Claremont University, home of leading 9/11 truth scholar Dr. David Ray Griffin.  While pretending to be a professor, Shermer also travels around the lecture circuit impersonating a skeptic. Oddly, his skepticism does not extend to the official story of 9/11. As editor of…

9/11 as Black Swan

Kevin Barrett

A review of Nassim Nicholas Taleb‘s The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Kevin Barrett, TruthJihad.com 9/11, we can all agree, was a highly-improbable, high-impact event on which fortunes were made and lost. I personally lost about two million dollars on 9/11. In 2004, I turned down a University of California post-doc because it was funded by the 9/11-disinfo-spreading Ford Foundation, thereby stepping off the academic career track in favor of 9/11 truth activism. As a 45-year-old, I would have been expected to average at least $75,000 per year for about 25 years had I labored on…

Hamza Yusuf and Yusuf Estes: “Diplomatic” truth-seekers?

Kevin Barrett

by Kevin Barrett, www.TruthJihad.com A Muslima for 9/11 truth, who helped us personally deliver 9/11 truth materials to Sheikh Hamza Yusuf’s Zaytuna Institute, recently forwarded a video of the Sheikh’s passionate defense of truth and justice, and suggested that M911T may have helped inspire this kind of speech: Unfortunately, Hamza Yusuf apparently has not yet publicly spoken out for 9/11 truth, even though in the above video he does excoriate CIA drug dealing. He may be concerned that if he took a public pro-9/11-truth stance, his effort to establish Zaytuna University as the first Muslim university in the USA would…

The Tea Party Movement Began with 9/11 Truth

Kevin Barrett

Thanks to Jerry Mazza for reminding us that the Tea Party movement began with the Boston Tea Party for 9/11 Truth of 2006 and the follow-up of 2007.  I have fond memories of both. Funny how the corporate media refused to report on these monumentally important events.  I doubt if one in a thousand tea partiers knows where the movement started, or understands how badly it has been co-opted by the neocons.

Matt Taibbi’s Great Derangement

Kevin Barrett

My fellow Muslim for 9/11 Truth Bill “Anab” Whitehouse has just posted a wonderful imaginary interview with fanatical anti-truther Matt Taibbi.  Taibbi, as you may recall, recently gave me the Most Obnoxious Thing on the Internet award for my suggestion that the US apologize to Muslims, who have been falsely blamed for 9/11, by building a mega-mosque on Ground Zero. Taibbi’s rabid opposition to 9/11 truth is itself a great derangement. As I once told a radio interviewer, lots of people email me to tell me I’m crazy. My response: Anyone who would email a crazy person to tell them…

Why They HATE Hearing the Truth About 9/11

Kevin Barrett

Why do so many people throw their hands over their ears and let out a scream of horror when confronted with the evidence that 9/11 was an inside job? Laura Knight-Jadczyk, last night’s radio show guest, cited research showing that when people are given negative information about their leaders, the brain’s emotional circuits override the cognitive ones; a blast of bad neurochemicals triggers a negative emotional state, which is only relieved by positive emotions when the person figures out a way – no matter how irrational – to discount the information. In other words, when we offer someone evidence that…

Physics prof Denis Rancourt speaks out on 9/11 — and gets it half right!

Kevin Barrett

Physics professor and academic freedom fighter Denis Rancourt appeared on the Kevin Barrett Show yesterday and agreed that the implosion of World Trade Center Building 7 was clearly a case of controlled demolition — but that the destruction of the Twin Towers might not have been! (The discussion of 9/11 occurs during the last 20 minutes of the show.) Dr. Rancourt argued that the gravitational energy released by the Towers’ coming down was great enough, and the mysteries of how various materials interact with each other under such conditions mysterious enough, to cast doubt on many of the apparent “smoking…
