Thom Hartmann's 9/11 Debate Challenge

Nationally syndicated progressive talk show host Thom Hartmann, (Air America), has issued a challenge to those researching 9/11.

He wants a representative from the skeptics of the Government's "Official Conspiracy Theory", the "OCT", and a defender of the OCT, to come on his show at the same time, and debate their positions in a civil manner.

Hartmann tasked his producer approximately 6 months ago to find a well-known defender of the OCT to accept the terms of the debate, and not a single one would. On Friday, June 15, Hartmann renewed his challenge on air, and noted that the problem seems to lay with the OCT defenders, who won't come on the show at the same time as the skeptics, and won't take calls from the public following a few rounds of debate.

On Monday, June 18, Hartmann renewed the call again;

"I mentioned on the program a couple days ago that we tried to put together a program about 9/11 where we wanted to get on the folks from Popular Mechanics, or some variation, someone who would take the position of the 9/11 Commission... and get some representatives from the 9/11 Truth community of one of its variations, and Dave, my producer came on and said we couldn't find anybody who would come on and debate.

First of all we can't find anybody, NOBODY has contacted us (on the OCT side), and we've contacted a number of them, the magazine (Popular Mechanics) wouldn't do it... would come on and take that position, and so... to have somebody come on and say, "it was a controlled demolition", and not to have somebody on the other side say, "no, wait a minute, here", it wouldn't be a discussion, it just be... bad.

It's amazing, I've gotten several hundred emails over the last couple days in consequence of that, many of them people saying, "I'd be glad to come on", I'd be glad to debate... all of them on the conspiracy side of it...

Why Hasn’t Rudy Giuliani Read the 9-11 Commission Report?

Why Hasn’t Rudy Giuliani Read the 9-11 Commission Report?

May 16, 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARLINGTON, VA – During the "First in the South" GOP debate in South Carolina last night, one thing was made clear: Rudy Giuliani does not understand how to keep America safe.

When Congressman Ron Paul, who has long served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, explained how 50 years of American interventionism in the Middle East has helped compromise our national security, Giuliani interrupted saying he had "never heard anything so absurd." This statement is particularly troubling coming from the former mayor who tries to cast himself as a security expert, since Dr. Paul's point comes directly from the bi-partisan 9-11 Commission Report.

"Rudy Giuliani has tip-toed around the issues of abortion, guns and marriage. The only issue he has left is security, and he doesn't even get that right," said campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "It is clear from his interruption that former Mayor Giuliani has not read the 9-11 Commission Report and has no clue on how to keep America safe."

Will The Next President Open A New 9/11 Investigation?

After watching the recent Presidential debate, I came across an edited video clip of that presentation.

Notice the list of hopefuls has been narrowed to only those Constitutionalists who would call for a full investigation of the events on 9/11/2001. Though 9/11 was not discussed, it is clear which candidates would pursue the will of the people and the rule of law.

The debate with NIST that never was

Just a reminder that the debate with NIST would have taken place a few days from now; however, NIST "scientists" refused to defend their own work. Instead, NIST engineers choose safe speaking engagements in which they can deny the existence of molten metal at Ground Zero.

On January 31, 2007 the Muckraker Report canceled its effort to hold a National 9/11 Debate. We thank everyone who expressed interest in the event, particularly those patriotic Americans that were willing to publicly debate the government officials responsible for the “official” account of what happened on September 11, 2001. Jim Fetzer, George Nelson, Judy Wood, Philip Berg, Steven Jones, Morgan Reynolds, David Ray Griffin, and many others in the “Truth Movement” – the Muckraker Report salutes you and thanks you.

UCC Law Society Debate Audio Nov 2006

Below is the audio for the University College Cork (Ireland) Law Society debate which took place in November.

The motion was that 'The Real Terrorists are in Washington, London & Brussels.'

(I took Brussels to mean NATO not the EU.)

The house supported the motion - but we didn't get one mention in any press...

Smirking Chimp publishes fair "9-11 skeptics" analysis

American Thinker says 9/11 skepticism "extremely dangerous"

 

by PositronicDave | Dec 3 2006

This just in...

AmericanThinker.com's Michael Lopez-Calderon thinks that people who don't buy the government's line about 9/11 are "extremely dangerous" because they might "undermine our democratic nation's war against the theocratic forces of radical, Jihadi-driven Islam".

Ouch.

Controlled Demolition Theories not a Guarantee

The 9/11 Truth Movement needs to be careful about putting so many of it’s eggs in the controlled demolition basket. The proof for this theory is not as solid as the many other issues related to government involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

In the case of Building 7, the debate now seems to center on the amount of damage the building received when WTC 1 collapsed, and the interpretation of how the building would behave with the varying amounts of damage it could have recieved. Exact measurements of the amount of damage are difficult to prove, as there are no reliable photographs of an important gash in the side of the building. Recollections from firefighters about that day are the best information to go on.

Here is a link which compares information that agrees with the controlled demolition theory alongside ones that disagree with that theory:

http://www.oilempire.us/demolition.html

Please check out the following recently expanded introduction and summary page which contains audio and video clips about the questions of government involvement in the 9/11 attacks, as well as Alan Miller's list of 50 millitary, intellligence, and goverment officials questioning the 9/11 attacks..

U.W.-Madison Professors Refuse to Debate Barrett, Fetzer Thurs. 10/5/06

Gutless UW Profs Won't Debate Barrett, Fetzer Thurs. 10/5/06 - indymedia.org

by Kevin Barrett

It appears that Kevin Barrett and Jim Fetzer will debate two empty chairs Thursday, October 5th, 2006 at 6 p.m. at the Curti Lounge, 5243 Humanities, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The History Students' Association tried to find one or more U.W.-Madison professors willing to defend the 9/11 Commission Report in a debate with Barrett and Fetzer, to no avail. This seems odd, since UW Political Science professor Donald Downs has claimed that Barrett's views are preposterous, while Physics professor M.F. Onellian has engaged in childish name-calling: http://mujca.com/groucho.htm

The fact that not a single U.W.-Madison professor is willing to defend the 9/11 Commission Report in public speaks volumes. The cowardice of professors who call names, but won't debate the facts, is astounding.

Ironically, the Oshkosh Northwestern just ran an editorial bemoaning the fact that no academics are willing to debate Barrett:

Letter to an Anonymous Nuke Hypothesist

I wanted to share this with more people than would find it buried in the blog posts below, because I feel like the faith based approach of the anonymous person to whom I'm responding, represents the approach of many both inside and outside our movement who appear to have little experience with formal logic. And I mean the kind of thinking you pick up by reading, debating people, going to college, or just having a curiosity bigger than your ego. The '9/11 truth movement' is guided by a logical, legal, and journalistic approach to the facts and their promotion. While there are those blindly following obscure lines of inquiry who will only distract us, we should reach out to those who might have strayed down an obscure path, but have a genuine concern for the truth.

Message posted to the following thread:

http://www.911blogger.com/node/3321

"I believe some form of nuclear device was used at the WTC. The chances are it is still top secret so we have no way of knowing what it is.

There is simply no other explanation for the rapid and near-total pulverisation of the concrete. I am no expert so I have no facts to back me up but I am convinced that when the truth is known these facts will be made clear.
