Michael Shermer debunks the “19 hijackers” conspiracy theory!

Kevin Barrett

As Anthony Hall says, Michael Shermer isn’t a real economics professor – he just plays one on TV. But that doesn’t mean he’s always wrong. In a recent Scientific American article, Shermer gives us many reasons to think that the Official Conspiracy Theory of 9/11 is “likely to be untrue.” Below is Shermer’s list of the characteristics of probably-untrue conspiracy theories. My comments are in italics. Shermer writes: Nevertheless, we cannot just dismiss all such theories out of hand, because real conspiracies do sometimes happen. Instead we should look for signs that indicate a conspiracy theory is likely to be…

Joshua Blakeney and Anthony J. Hall Investigate Michael Shermer’s Academic Credentials

Kevin Barrett

From Joshua Blakeney: Hello Friends and Comrades, Here is the latest You Tube instalment depicting the unfolding saga implicating Michael Shermer, Claremont Graduate University and University of Lethbridge. Michael Shermer delivered a lecture at the University of Lethbridge on September 23, 2010 http://www.uleth.ca/events/why-people-believe-weird-things-lecture-michael-shermer-794 entitled “Why People Believe Weird Things,” in which he attempted to discredit those who are skeptical about 9/11 by conflating such investigators with Holocaust Deniers and UFO spotters. Stunned and perplexed by this substandard approach to 9/11 Studies Professor Hall and I resolved to critically investigate Shermer, suspecting that he could not possibly be someone who has…

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…

Anthony J. Hall and Joshua Blakeney Challenge Michael Shermer About His 9/11 Denialism

Kevin Barrett

This just in from my friend Josh Blakeney of the University of Lethbridge (Alberta): Dear Friends and Comrades, Here is the latest action by Prof. Anthony J. Hall and I : We were so disgusted with Prof. Michael Shermer’s lack of knowledge about 9/11 that we were compelled to intervene during his parodic lecture at the University of Lethbridge last night. Shermer purports to be a skeptic (his magazine is named “Skeptic Magazine”) who has read “ALL of David Ray Griffin’s books” (DRG is actually his colleague at the Clairmont Graduate School ). However, Shermer is clearly somebody who has…
