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."

"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." Subscribe to *Hasbarfa Alert*

Why would the ADL be so bothered by Prof. Jones and his wacky (/sarcasm) theories? Answer: 911 led to Iraq which is Israel's deal. It's time for those with their heads planted in their anatomy to do some remidial research. Don't rely on what is posted or said; do your own work. I honestly believe it will change your opinion.

That the ADL is now involved is a giant, blinking neon sign that points to Zionist collusion in 9/11 on some level or another.

To anyone with a curious bone in their body, google Israeli movers and 911 - Here's a quickie, but like our mothers said long ago, it's better if we do the work ourselves. I also posted the Youtube version of the Carl Cameron Fox News series about the Israel connection. It's here somewhere.

Consider this for a real estate deal: Larry Silverstein borrowed $125 million from two fellow tribesmen, purchased the 99 year lease on the WTC in July of '01. Six weeks later, along comes Ali Baba and his 18 thieves and down goes his investment - after he ordered Bld 7 "pulled." Said $125 million now becomes more than $4.5 billion for Silverstein (Bld 7 is insured separately for $800 million) *and* the Port Authority agrees to pay the two original investors their $125 million back.

JT, do you know if Silverstein was paid under this policy for the 9/11 collapse? Do you know which coverage provision? I'd really like to know if he had a "terrorist acts" coverage provision for 7 as well as 1 & 2---were they all insured under the same policy? Was there a finding---by the insurer or a court---that 7 was destroyed as a result of a "terrorist act"? I think the answers to those questions bear significantly on the overall puzzle that 9/11 Truth is trying to solve.

32;32;NEW YORK, May 08, 2003, (A. M. Best via COMTEX) -- A lawsuit filed by Silverstein Properties Inc. against Industrial Risk Insurers over how much the company owes to rebuild 7 World Trade Center is "premature and unwarranted," the insurer said.

Silverstein Properties bought an actual cash value policy to cover five buildings from IRI, a unit of General Electric Co.'s Employers Reinsurance Corp. Larry Silverstein, president and chief executive officer of Silverstein Properties, assigned a value of $848 million to all five of the properties in May 2001, said ERC spokesman Dean Davison.

That's the cost Silverstein said he'd need to replace all of the facilities, including the rental stream, and "now he's seeking that amount and more for one property," Davison said. The five buildings were 570 Seventh Ave., 529 Fifth Ave., 120 Wall St., a building in Stanford, Conn., and 7 World Trade Center, which caught fire and collapsed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism on the Twin Towers.

So far, IRI has paid $440 million under the terms of the policy and hasn't taken a final position on any aspect of the claim, he said. "We will pay what we owe on this claim," he said, adding that the contract was negotiated in good faith.

Larry Silverstein reportedly will be reimbursed much of his reserve funds he invested six weeks before terrorist slammed jets into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The New York Times reported Nov. 22 that Silverstein and his co-investors would receive $98 million, about 80 percent of the $125 million they invested in equity in 2001. The 99-year lease with the Port Authority was valued at $3.2 billion. The investors along with the Port Authority, who owned the buildings, are using insurance proceeds to pay off GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, Silverstein's lender, a reported sum of $563 million.

Silverstein and his partners will retain their 99-year lease and play a large part in the redesigning of the area. A new collaborative design for the Freedom Tower, the brainchild of architects David Childs and Daniel Libeskind, is scheduled for release next month.

Howard Rubenstein, a spokesman for Silverstein, released a statement the day the Times article appeared, saying that Silverstein was rightfully entitled to the funds he used as collateral for a loan to make a down payment on his lease.

"The GMAC reserves that are being returned to his companies were established to secure the GMAC mortgage loan," Rubenstein said. "Now that the mortgage loan has been satisfied, there is no reason for the security for that loan to remain tied up in escrow accounts earning minimal interest."

According to Rubenstein, the days of Silverstein seeing a return on his Ground Zero investment are a long time in the future.

"When it comes time to refinance the project, Mr. Silverstein's companies likely will have to put up the same or more amounts of security for those new loans," Rubenstein said. "In the interim, as part of his agreement with the Port Authority, Mr. Silverstein is committing 100 percent of all future business interruption proceeds to the project. As a result of this commitment, Mr. Silverstein and his investors likely will not see any return for a decade."

Following the Times article, a state judge issued a gag order on all participants in the anticipated deal. PA spokesman Greg Trevor declined to comment, citing the gag order. Silverstein has been deadlocked in a battle with the trade center insurers since the attacks. The leaseholder claims the two planes striking the towers constituted two separate disasters and should result accordingly in a $7 billion insurance payout. The insurers claim the strikes were one disaster and are offering $3.5 million.

The insurers have paid out about $1.9 billion to date.

The Times also reported the Port Authority has reached an agreement to buy out Westfield America, which operated the retail mall at the trade center, for $140 million.
