Canadian 9-11 Denial ‘Debate’

[Walter Ego]

Posted tonight on Screw Loose Change (http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2008/03/evening-with-9-11-deniers.html).

An excellent series of posts from a Canadian blogger about a 9-11 ‘debate’ at the University of Waterloo. I’m just posting this one link since it links to all the articles about the event.

As an American, I’m happy to note that the U.S. doesn’t have a monopoly on dunderheads with advanced academic degrees. 9-11 ‘truth’ seems to attract idiots of every nationality.

As a Canadian, my IQ just fell 20 points reading that "presentation".

What is it with theologans suddenly becoming structural experts? Miracles? A message from above? Gross arrogance and stupidity?

Sure wish CHF could have been there to cause a ruckus amongst the stupids.

Actually, I'm not Canadian. I just live in Canada.

Minor detail.

Welcome BTW. Thanks for blogging this moron. Maybe one day they'll discover soemthing new instead of repeating the same old same old every day. OCD can be rough.:D

Welcome to the forum.

Some of that stuff was pretty offensive.

[A. K.] Dewdney sneered at the account of Mark Bingham's phone call to his mother, because Bingham reportedly said, "Mom, this is Mark Bingham." Again, the implication is that the government is smart enough to fake a call that could fool Bingham's mother, but not smart enough to realize that a son would be unlikely to tell his mother his last name. (The largely sympathetic audience chuckled.)

Dewdney is a little behind the times. Most truthers have given up sneering at the families of Fight 93 victims realizing how offensive they were with that approach.


This bit was nicely ironic.

[Dewdney's] views on 9/11 are, to put it politely, outlandish and completely divorced from reality. This is particularly ironic, since in 1998 he published Yes, We Have No Neutrons: An Eye-Opening Tour through the Twists and Turns of Bad Science, in which he took on Freud, the Biosphere project, cold fusion, and other episodes of bad science. If only Dewdney applied that same kind of skepticism to his own views on 9/11.


Is Dewdney unaware of Steven Jones’ work on cold fusion? That hardly seems likely if he debunked cold fusion research it in his book.

Dewdney has been discussed on this forum in the past:
