PROVO — Stung by what he said are false accusations of anti-Semitism, Brigham Young University physics professor Steven Jones said Wednesday he has decided to stop talking about who might have been behind what he has alleged was government involvement in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "That's what I've resolved for the future, even when pushed," Jones told the Deseret Morning News. "I'll stick with the science, thank you." Jones began last year to research the physics behind the way the World Trade Center towers fell. Disturbed by the remarkable speed with which they fell and emboldened by his own experiments on ground zero materials, he developed a hypothesis that the collapse of the towers was aided by pre-positioned demolition charges. He later began to say the charges must have been set by a group inside the U.S. government. BYU placed Jones on paid leave last week, in part for what it called "the increasingly speculative and accusatory nature of these statements by Dr. Jones." The action came two days after Jones appeared on KUER-FM 90.1's respected news talk show "Radio West." On the show, he said it appeared responsibility for the attacks rested with Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and an "international banking cartel." The statement drew immediate response from Jews who said they were offended because references to international banking have for decades been used by anti-Semitic groups as codespeak to blame Jews for various problems. Hitler often blamed "international financiers" for Germany's debt after World War I. A spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League said he will recommend in a committee meeting tomorrow that the ADL send a letter to BYU complaining about the comments and expressing concern that such comments might be made by Jones in his classes. BYU relieved Jones of his teaching load this semester while it conducts a formal review of his research and statements. "Wow, I don't know if he could be any clearer," said Jonathan Bernstein, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League for California, Utah and Hawaii. "This is the language we hear from David Duke and other hatemongers who want to scapegoat Jews." Jones was flummoxed by the accusation, saying he was "startled" when told the phrase carried anti-Semitic overtones. He wasn't sure where he got the phrase because he was referring to the work of Webster Tarpley, a historian and member of the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, a group co-founded by Jones. Tarpley refers only to a shadowy, rogue network, not to international bankers. "I'll name them as Tarpley names them," Jones said on KUER. "Wolfowitz and Perle, in particular — they do happen to be neocons — but there is a much larger group behind these (attacks) which is the international banking cartel which controls trillions of dollars and which has an interest in controlling countries in the Middle East which are not under their control." Jones said his reference to international banking might have been influenced by Cleon Skousen, a former BYU instructor and author who claimed international bankers were behind the rise of communism and fascism. Jones shared his research on 9/11 at Skousen's home in the fall of 2005 before Skousen died. Jones said he regrets talking about who might have been behind the attacks and from now on will leave that investigation to Tarpley and other members of the self-named "9/11 truth movement." "In the past, numerous times I deferred to those experts," Jones said. "This time I said, in my opinion, (Tarpley's) right. But I also think that's way outside the research I specialize in. I think it's smarter to leave the tasks of who should be investigated to those who specialize in those things." Instead, he'll concentrate on his research about evidence from ground zero and the intriguing, unsettled questions about why the third World Trade Center building, Building Seven, fell later on Sept. 11 without being struck by a plane. A report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology is due early next year. Jones contends measurements he took of a sample of the molten metal found under all three buildings show it is not aluminum from the planes nor structural steel. "I can be proven wrong," Jones said. "I accept that. But whoever does it will have to explain this molten metal to me, and especially all the barium found. That's nasty stuff that's not going to be used in a building." Jones said he doesn't blame Jews for the attacks. "I had no idea this would be some sort of codespeak for anti-Semitism," Jones said. "It is not right to link such a group to Jews." Salt Lake Valley resident Scott Klepper said Jones' statements were hurtful. "As a Jew, I view Jones' unsubstantiated conclusion as an affront to the Jewish community, to BYU and to real researchers and academics."

Poor olde Adolph, can't get any rest. All evil of the world BEGAN and ENDED with Adolph. Had Hitler killed only German and other Christians, like some others we know, I doubt his name would ever be raised.
Lazar Kaganovich had a hand in killing more people than Hitler did. How many Americans know his name? It's no coincidence that the ADL and the Federal Reserve were founded in the same year. The Jewish bankers knew they'd need someone to run interference for them down the road.
The Bush's are hoping Guinness will recognize their efforts and list them appropriately after WW III.
I wish someone would post the pic of Rabbi Bush at the whining wall with his little beanie on.

Youre exactly right! Bush: 'America Has Declared War on Terrorism, Not Islam' President Bush Monday moved to reassure Muslim Americans that he will not tolerate racist attacks in response to last week's terrorism in Washington and New York. The president said America has declared war on terrorism, not Islam. President Bush met with leaders of the Muslim American Society in Washington, saying their rights must be protected from anti-Islamic sentiments following Tuesday's attacks. Mr. Bush said it is important that Americans understand that violence against innocent people violates the fundamental tenets of Islam. "The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam," the president said. "That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war." Anti-Islamic violence in the United States has been on the rise since last week's violence. Police in Arizona suspect the shooting death of an Indian immigrant Saturday was racially motivated, as the man arrested for the murder shouted, "I stand for America all the way." A Moroccan gas station attendant was attacked in the state of Illinois. Police arrested a man in Seattle, Washington, who allegedly tried to set fire to a mosque. President Bush said Muslim Americans are grieving for the victims of last week's violence just like everyone else in the country. He said the anger and emotion following the attacks must not be taken out on Muslim Americans. "Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America. They represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior," Mr. Bush said. "This is a great country. It's a great country because we share the same values of respect and dignity and human worth. And it is my honor to be meeting with leaders who feel the same way I do. They are outraged. They are sad. They love America just as much as I do." Attendance at some mosques is down more than 50 percent since the attacks, as some Muslim Americans fear to leave their homes. President Bush said everyone in America must be treated with respect. "Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes. Moms who wear cover must not be intimidated in America. That's not the America I know. That's not the America I value," he said. FBI director Robert Mueller said his bureau is investigating about 40 hate crimes against Arab-Americans since last week's attack. He said the agency will prosecute anyone found responsible. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has set up a telephone hotline, so victims of anti-Arab or Anti-Muslim hate crimes can report them **************** And check this out: http://www.jtf.org/america/america.why.bush.will.not.defeat.islamic.terrorism.htm
