SCHOLARS FOR 9/11 TRUTH ASSAILED Members and movement attacked from several directions Madison, WI (PRWEB) September 9, 2006 --- Three professors who are members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth have been threatened with the loss of their positions for their research and teaching about the events of 9/11. Other attacks are coming from national magazines, such as TIME and U.S. NEWS, which have cover-stories this week suggesting that those who believe 9/11 involved a conspiracy may need psychological counseling. In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Popular Mechanics have published pieces intended to bolster the official account of 9/11. “This flurry of activity suggests that the government is becoming desperate in its efforts to keep the truth about 9/11 from the American people,” said James H. Fetzer, the founder and co-chair of the society. “But I don’t think it’s working.” Fetzer finds attacks on faculty members, including Kevin Barrett, a humanities instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Bill Woodward, a professor of psychology at the University of New Hampshire, and Steven Jones, a physics professor at Brigham Young University and the society’s co-chair, especially disturbing. “According to the government, 9/11 is ‘the pivotal event of the 21st century,’ which changed everything”, he observed. “So it obviously deserves to be studied. College and universities are the institutions that undertake the study of significant historical events. The very idea that faculty should not be studying the events of 9/11 verges on the absurd,” he remarked. “And since the official account-that the events of 9/11 involved 19 Islamic fundamentalists hijacking four commercial airliners and perpetrating terrorist acts under control of a man in a cave in Afghanistan-involves a conspiracy, it is impossible to study 9/11 without dealing with conspiracy theories.” Fetzer thinks the administration wants to suppress serious research on 9/11 because the official account cannot withstand scrutiny. “What the government has told us is just fine if you are willing to believe impossible things,” he observed. “Its truth requires violating laws of physics and engineering that cannot be violated and cannot be changed.” He offered a recent piece from NIST that attempts to resolve “frequently asked questions” as an illustration. “We have posted it on our web site at http://st911.org along with several critiques. I invite anyone to review that exchange to determine if the official account has any basis in science. It does not.” An article from Popular Mechanics that has been turned into a book doesn’t fare any better, he observed. Since there is no objective foundation for the official account, there is no ground to suggest that skeptics of the official account need psychological counseling. “Rationality is the tendency to accept, reject, and hold-in-suspense beliefs on the basis of logic and evidence,’” Fetzer stated. “Given what we know now, those who continue to defend the government’s account are the ones whose beliefs cannot be justified by logic and evidence, not the critics. The situation abounds with ironies.” “Sometimes I wonder if the general public realizes the government has been lying to us about 9/11 from the beginning.” He cites the recent acknowledgment from the FBI that it has “no hard evidence” connecting Osama bin Laden to 9/11 and the President’s response during a press conference that Saddam Hussein had “nothing” to do with 9/11. Only this week a Senate Intelligence Committee report explained that Saddam not only was not collaborating with bin Laden but opposed him. “These were reasons we were given for going to war,” he said. “If the government has been lying about them, we already know the government has been lying about 9/11.” Scholars, a non-partisan society of students, faculty and experts dedicated to exposing falsehoods and revealing truths about 9/11, includes physicists, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, pilots, and aeronautical engineers among its members. “We have no funds and no budget but are doing this because we believe the American people are entitled to know the truth about their own history. Even I find it difficult to believe that the American government could have attacked the American people and killed 3,000 civilians to promote its political agenda, but that is where the evidence leads.” Contact information: James H. Fetzer, Ph.D. Founder and Co-Chair Poster Comment: You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to see the coordination behind these attacks on 9-11 truthers. The criminals are lashing out in desperation. This is a very good sign. It means that they are close to getting caught.

There was supposed to be an east coast version of what you attended in "Calafornate" this weekend in NY. I haven't heard anything about it recently except this article and others of the same nature.
The mind once expanded by a new idea never returns to its' original size
Better than the guy who was shot here in Minneapolis by "Thugs" who were caught and later released.

Friends mourning Uptown shooting victim Authorities said Tuesday that the victim in the Minneapolis robbery died Sunday night. No suspects have been arrested. Chao Xiong and Bob Von Sternberg Star Tribune Staff Writers, Star Tribune As police continue to investigate a robbery that ended in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Michael Zebuhr in Uptown, he was mourned Tuesday in his native West Virginia and South Carolina, where he was pursuing a PhD. "He was a remarkable, compassionate person," said Lisa Benson, his adviser at Clemson University. "He was so humble, you didn't realize what an outstanding young man he was." Police have said that Zebuhr, his mother, his sister and a friend had dined at an Uptown restaurant Saturday night and were walking to their vehicle when two men robbed them about 9:55 p.m. The victims didn't resist, police said, and Zebuhr's mother handed over her purse before Zebuhr was shot. Police said Tuesday there were "developments" in the case but they wouldn't release details At an afternoon news conference near the shooting site at 31st St. and Girard Av. S. in Minneapolis, police called the crime an aberration. But at a meeting with about 100 community members, residents said there was a sense of worsening crime in the area. Zebuhr died Sunday night of a gunshot wound, according to the Hennepin County medical examiner's office. Authorities said they couldn't address his case, but said that if a person remains hospitalized for organ donation after death is declared, the death isn't always immediately made public. "This was a senseless, callous murder," Police Chief Bill McManus said at the news conference. "This crime is an aberration." A handful of police officials and City Council Member Ralph Remington, whose ward includes Uptown and who lives a block from the crime scene, also were on hand. They defended the attention the case has garnered and said any homicide elsewhere in Minneapolis would be treated as seriously. "North Side, South Side, where it occurs doesn't matter," McManus said. "I don't want to get into a competition. North Side versus South Side. Black versus white." Remington said he wants an increased police presence in the area, more street lighting and improved parking. He acknowledged that the initiatives are simply being discussed. Deputy Chief Sharon Lubinski has said that the Fifth Precinct, where the shooting occurred, will not get more officers atop of its roughly 100, noting that all precincts are short-staffed. Police have said that the Uptown area is safe despite Saturday's shooting in the Carag neighborhood, the city's 12th homicide this year. Lt. Lee Edwards, head of the homicide unit, said officers with homicide experience were working nearby when the shooting occurred and arrived within minutes. Up to six officers with homicide experience were present within 30 minutes and up to 15 officers have worked the case, he said. Police have released a vague description of two male suspects in dark clothing. Authorities said the suspects got into a white, four-door car that headed south in the alley between Girard and Hennepin Avenues. More people may have been waiting in the getaway car, police have said. Police are urging anyone with information about the robbery to call 612-692-TIPS. Benson, Zebuhr's university adviser, said that he was "very close to his family. I can't speak to what happened in Minneapolis, but I can tell you he was a very even-tempered, calm person." Huy Nguyen said he served Zebuhr and his group Saturday night at Chiang Mai Thai, a restaurant in Calhoun Square just up the block from where the shooting took place. Financial records show that the group paid for their meal at 9:48 p.m., minutes before the shooting, according to the restaurant's management. "They were nice people," Nguyen said. "They were really into each other, conversing with each other and enjoying their food." Nguyen said nothing seemed out of the ordinary with the group. A promising future In Buckhannon, W. Va., Zebuhr's hometown, "people are just devastated," said Julia Conley, a friend of the Zebuhr family. Conley said she was shocked by the location and circumstances of Zebuhr's killing. "I've been to Uptown myself, shopped there alone, and I've personally never felt unsafe." Zebuhr began work on his Ph.D. in bioengineering last August, Benson said. Part of his dissertation included designing a sensor system that could be used by orthopedists evaluating their patients' recovery from joint injuries. "He was really excited about the research," Benson said. "It appealed to him because he was so mechanically inclined." A graduate of Davis and Elkins College in West Virginia, he came to the attention of a Clemson faculty member while taking part in NASA's Spaceflight and Life Sciences Training Program at the Kennedy Space Center. "He was so impressive that the professor encouraged him to apply here," Benson said. Zebuhr hoped to eventually become a college professor, Benson said. "He understood very well how to connect with young people," she said, adding that he was planning to do a science outreach program this summer for Hispanic kids. Zebuhr was an avid mountain biker and ski instructor and had been a member of the Davis and Elkins ski team. His senior year he was a member of the Buckhannon-Upshur High School wrestling team and ended up ranked third in the state, said his coach, Randall Roy. Zebuhr had recently bought a small house in Clemson that he was renovating himself, Benson said. He showed his compassion when Hurricane Katrina evacuees ended up in South Carolina. "He was one of the first people here to reach out," Benson said. "He showed up with a car full of household goods and appliances, this poor graduate student just trying to help out people in need."
Mike Zebuhr was one of the Scholars For Truth.

Michael Zebuhr's name is in the associated list. He was killed not in a robbery, but to silence him. Every shooting we have had in Minneapolis has resulted in an arrest, and prosecution, with the exception of this one.
