Kevin Barrett Cleared to Teach Class on Islam

Provost review clears Barrett to teach class on Islam - wisc.edu

Following a thorough review, University of Wisconsin-Madison Provost Patrick Farrell today announced that lecturer Kevin Barrett will teach, as scheduled, a class titled "Islam: Religion and Culture."

Barrett's remarks regarding his theories on the events of Sept. 11 recently drew widespread attention and criticism.

As a result, Farrell, along with Gary Sandefur, dean of the College of Letters and Science, and Ellen Rafferty, chair of the department of languages and cultures of Asia, met with Barrett. They reviewed his course syllabus and reading materials and examined his past teaching evaluations.

"There is no question that Mr. Barrett holds personal opinions that many people find unconventional," Farrell says. "These views are expected to take a small, but significant, role in the class. To the extent that his views are discussed, Mr. Barrett has assured me that students will be free - and encouraged - to challenge his viewpoint."

Congrats Kevin!

P.S. We have word that Kevin Barrett will be on Hannity and Colmes tonight at 9PM EST.

yes, this guy kicked some

yes, this guy kicked some big time ass... big ups to him...

And the furor

reen Campaign: UW Administration Again Gets it Wrong on Decision to Keep Barrett
7/10/2006

Contact: Rob Vernon
920-435-2006

Governor Doyle's Board of Regents get their way on anti-American lecturer.

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Madison lecturer Kevin Barrett - who has said he believes that the government used "controlled demolitions with explosives" on September 11 to bring down the World Trade Center buildings and that Karl Rove was involved in the death of a U.S. Senator - will be allowed to continue to present his theories in a university classroom, according to UW Provost Patrick Farrell. Farrell announced today that Barrett would be allowed to teach his class this Fall Semester at the UW, saying that his outlandish ideas on September 11 will "take a small, but significant, role in the class."

In response to Farrell's decision, gubernatorial candidate Mark Green issued the following statement Monday:

"I am a proud graduate of two UW schools. The UW system means so much to me, which is why I am so deeply troubled by today's decision.

"As I have already said, not a dime of either taxpayer or tuition dollars should be going to facilitate Mr. Barrett telling students that the September 11th attacks were a creation of the U.S. government. Mr. Barrett can dwell all he wants on the fringe left of society, but he should not be doing it under the banner of the University of Wisconsin.

"This should have been an easy call for UW officials, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised by their decision. When Jim Doyle's hand-picked Board of Regents president has repeatedly said that he thinks it is okay for Mr. Barrett to teach his clearly untrue conspiracy theories in a university classroom, this is the outcome we should have expected.

"Under Jim Doyle's stewardship, we have seen sex offender professors receive UW paychecks, outrageous back-up jobs for housekeepers and a 50 percent tuition increase for Wisconsin families at the very same time tuition for out-of-state students was reduced. Mr. Barrett is the latest bit of evidence showing the need to replace Jim Doyle and bring reform to the UW System.

"Teaching students lies is not a Wisconsin value. Elect me governor, and we will inject a heavy dose of Wisconsin values into the University of Wisconsin system."

and geggy, i dont know about "a lot more damage". people here give Fetzer a bad rap. i remember right after his appearence on Hannity and Colmes, people were saying how great he did.cut to a week later and those same people were bashing him. again, i think its peoples bias when it comes to the Pentagon that makes people think less of Fetzer.

also some people dont agree

also some people dont agree with his political point of view, so they dont like that about him. personally, i mesh pretty well with his political beliefs, so i dont mind when he talks politics.

No, I think it was basically this: The Fox producers screwed up on "Hannity and Colmes", which made them look like idiots right off the bat. And Fetzer did really well too. Maybe the short time frame kept him focused. Then a week later on Alan Colmes show, Colmes was all cool and collective, while Fetzer ranted 100 mph over a cliff, sounding like a loon, telling victim's relatives that they were stupid.

Congratulations Kevin :) TOP

TOP MAN !!!!

Good Luck in getting 9/11 Truth out there...

Many thanks

I would venture a guess that

I would venture a guess that the Governor, et. all have now received around 75% more e'mails than they are used to reading. Collectively, this must shift their response, certainly drawing undue attention to Mark Green's idiotic position. He needs to be *singled-out,* because any 'defense' coming from him and party will ALSO creat a wave of National, not just local back-lash.

This is the first release of my own "Affidavit." Key reading for you because there is a this 'tiny little issue' that Everyone seems to have downplayed, namely that the standing EPA-"Federal aesbestos abatement orders" had been issued "to destroy the towers, by 2007."

Smells like they met their goal! http://redlineav.com/tsg.deposition.1.html

{* Spelling: "aluminum", or "aluminium" is it not common US English to delete the silent 'i'? I know the Brit's think it an abonimation, but "aluminate" is equally disturbing to a non-chemist. Indians assay: "sulhfr" -go figure!
Check out 'Sam' with Bolyn on RBN right now!!

there is no bad 9/11 truth

there is no bad 9/11 truth press - even hit pieces tweek people's curiosity.

i just picked up august vanity fair. there's an story about all the deformed children born in vietnam because of agent orange. anyone every challenges you by saying, "do you think our gov could do something this horrible." . . show them the agent orange pictures.

chemical companies took toxic waste and sold it to the military. the military aerial sprayed it all over vietnam.

Fetzer did not perform well

Fetzer did not perform well on the Alan Colmes show. I was frankly very upset and disappointed with that performance. I think anyone who listened and was not already a 9/11 truther would have been turned off by 9/11 truth altogether. Jim knows he didn't do well and has reflected on that performance.

BUT that show is only heard by a small group of listeners.

And Jim was fantastic on Hannity & Colmes, at the L.A. Conference, in Loose Change, and in many, many other performances.

Its all about numbers. Let's talk sports, folks. He puts up the big numbers in the play-offs. If he miffed one of the unimportant games, its not as important.

Rep. Congressman: Impeach

Rep. Congressman: Impeach Bush For Violating Constitution - Not Partisan Payback
Says American Union is bellwether for world government

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | July 10 2006

Republican Congressman Ron Paul says President Bush has presided over a doctrine of violating the Constitution at every turn and that he should be impeached - but that likely Democratic efforts to do so will be in the interests of playing politics and not the health of the nation.

Opining that the US had entered a period of "soft fascism," Paul noted that the legacy of the Bush administration has been the total abandonment of Constitutional principles.

"Congress has generously ignored the Constitution while the President flaunts it, the courts have ignored it and they get in the business of legislating so there's no respect for the rule of law." said Paul.

Yeah it's kind of premature to say barrett will handle the 9/11 issues on live tv better so we'll see what happens tonight. I'm not bashing fetzer, I do respect and admire him for co-creating st911 and working hard on getting the word out on the street and tv, but he makes me cringe sometime by advocating CGI, missile at pentagon and he lost his cool in the colmes show. Probably not the best guy to introduce to anyone new to the movement.

when has he advocated CGI?

7/10/2006: Breaking News:
"Sam Danner" was just interviewed on the internet & radio by Christopher Bolyn and Michael Collins Piper. His testimony must be heard and made widely known. This is the best description of the "PLANE" known to date. This confirms Marcus Icke, Karl Schwarz AND Webfairy's general, and specific insistence on the use of a 'Global hawk,' [X-something] remote drone. Even still, it was specially outfitted to penetrate, and self-destruct, based on the preponderance of evidence. FBI were on site to supervise all aspects of the clean-up, NOT the usual military response, as in showing the need to further secure thwe property.

Q: How do you respond to

Q: How do you respond to BushÂ’s charge that you are destabilizing the region and interfering in the elections of other Latin American countries?

Chávez: Mr. Bush is an illegitimate President. In Florida, his brother Jeb deleted many black voters from the electoral registers. So this President is the result of a fraud. Not only that, he is also currently applying a dictatorship in the U.S. People can be put in jail without being charged. They tap phones without court orders. They check what books people take out of public libraries. They arrested Cindy Sheehan because of a T-shirt she was wearing demanding the return of the troops from Iraq. They abuse blacks and Latinos. And if we are going to talk about meddling in other countries, then the U.S. is the champion of meddling in other people’s affairs. They invaded Guatemala, they overthrew Salvador Allende, invaded Panama and the Dominican Republic. They were involved in the coup d’état in Argentina thirty years ago.

Q: Are you replacing the

Q: Are you replacing the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund as “Daddy Big Bucks”?

Chávez: I do wish that the IMF and the World Bank would disappear soon.

how can you not like that? they are so gonna kill this guy soon........

WTC7: We'll Know in

WTC7: We'll Know in DEC06...
B12730 / Fri, 3 Feb 2006 23:42:11 / "War on Terror"
So NIST has replied to one of the many pending Freedom of Information Act requests (FOIAs) regarding the photographic and videographic record of World Trade Center building 7 (WTC7).

The FOIA requested any video, audio or visual information depicting WTC7 that currently exists in this database.

The response states that all WTC7 material will remain unreleased to anyone until the WTC7 section of the NIST reports is released. They ‘expect’ that release to occur in December 2006.

NIST states that Public Law 107-231, sec.7 provides legal justification for this non-disclosure.
This is the law which created the National Construction Safety Team for the express purpose of investigating the World Trade Center disaster.

It is worth noting that that NIST currently holds 6899 photos and 6977 segments of video from September 11, 2001 in New York City.

I (try to) connect the

I (try to) connect the missing dots as well as those which are present.

For someone with the access, knowledge, and position of Kevin, I haven't noticed him continually making it abundantly clear how impossibly silly/stupid it is for people to still be blaming "Muslim hijackers" for 9/11. (And we all know by now that it is possible, and can be a powerful tactic, to lie by omission...)

OTOH, by having someone within the 9/11 truth movement focusing in other ways on Islam, we are hurting the cause: as long as casual observers see that BushCo blames Muslims, and 911 truthers are talking about Muslims without avidly denouncing the Muslim-blaming aspect of The Big Lie, they will sense that 9/11 was about (an attack by) Muslims, and so they will never feel any need to investigate further -- after all, if "both" sides think that 9/11 was a Muslim attack, and/or neither side loudly decries the blaming of 9/11 on Muslims, then the official version of events must be true, right?

This is an example of how the "911 truth movement" can, even without realizing it, act in a fake-opposition manner (by not acting/speaking at all!), much the same way Dems fake-oppose Reps (and so followers of the political scene, who assume that Dems would not let Reps get away with anything major, feel OK in believing that 9/11 must have been what Bush said it was, else Dems would have stood up and said something long ago...).

Stand up and speak out more/better, Kevin!
