Physics Professor Alerts Country to the Camel of 9/11 Cover-Up, While His Colleagues Strain at Gnats
It's one thing for a retired theologian like
David Ray Griffin to conclude that only controlled demolition credibly explains the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers. It's quite another for an active physics professor to do so. And so when Brigham Young University
Professor Steven E. Jones did just that, the people who sign his paychecks convinced him to shut up.
Thousands of young Americans have died in Iraq for, in George Galloway’s plain words, “a pack of lies.” But if anyone aiming to expose the latter happens to enjoy some standing in academia, he had better provide peer review-quality research! Listen to BYU officialdom after they momentarily dislodged their lips from the Federal-grant teat:
“Professor Steven Jones' hypotheses and interpretations of evidence regarding the collapse of World Trade Center buildings are being questioned by a number of scholars and practitioners, including many of BYU's own faculty members. Professor Jones' department and college administrators are not convinced that his analyses and hypotheses have been submitted to relevant scientific venues that would ensure rigorous technical peer review.”
Yes, we all know how effectively the peer review process rules out political and financial influence in academic affairs.
Professor Jones has punched a hole in the cover-up of mass murder at the point where his professional expertise is germane. All his “respectable” colleagues and bosses can do, however, having swallowed the 9/11 Commission camel, is strain at the gnat of academic protocol that he has allegedly failed to honor.
Now, when will these exigent minds, so “not convinced” of the central claim of Professor Jones and Professor Griffin regarding controlled demolition, simply refute it? Is not the implicit charge of mass murder grave enough to demand that they at least try?
