Who is Chaim Kupferberg?

Well, we all know he is the author of the most important and hard hitting article on 9/11 ever written (as early as 2003):

There's Something About Omar: Truth, Lies, and The Legend of 9/11

But who is he? Is "Chaim Kupferberg" a pseudonym? I'm not able to find much on him, only articles on Chossudovsky's globalresearch.ca, the last longer article appearing in 2004. Some short introductions to extracts of his main work in 2007, but not more.

Any Infos?

It appears he is a real nut case with no actual facts, are you being sarcastic? He has nothing to offer on 9/11.

Look, you got off easy. I was going to say he's the legendary lost Fug.

Why not ask Chossudovsky?

I think his stuff is at the level of DRG, but he seems to take credit unlike DRG. But all his stuff sucks if you want to know what happen on 9/11. Now if you have something to add please, point to some facts that support the conclusions this latest misinformation artist makes. You post a question about some misinformation artist and get upset when you get the truth? Try to find something worthy of being considered truth and maybe you can join some of the individuals who can think for themselves both logically and rationally.

If only you had followed this advice.

In fact, this is what I have to add: listen to what you say.

I know, it's deep.

The latest misinformation artist? beachnut, i have to thank you for your comments. Pure comedy gold. I've figured out a method which even increases the joy i feel reading your posts: I mark them, press "v" and let my Opera Browser read them to me with a tinny robot voice. Fits perfectly.

From the Post-Script of the article:

Originally Posted by Chaim Kupferberg
Further, we have seen how the Official 9/11 Legend has been overlain with a number of equally plausible cover stories and counter-legends, involving various neo-cons, Saudis, Pakistanis, Israelis, or even Iraqis. Again, we have seen a precedent for this type of information campaign, as it has heretofore most successfully been used in obfuscating the facts behind the J.F.K. investigation. Indeed, it is as if the J.F.K. Assassination Legend has served as the textbook model for framing the 9/11 Legend and its off-shoots. As with the 9/11 Legend, the J.F.K. Assassination Legend also had its various equally plausible offshoots, each with their own proponents.

Thus, while most of the mainstream media - and, most famously, Gerald Posner, who authored Case Closed - have mostly ignored the last official congressional investigation in 1979, which deemed the assassination a "probable conspiracy", figures as high as Lyndon Johnson had voiced suspicions of a "foreign" conspiracy, while C.I.A. bigwig James Angleton had mischievously pushed a Soviet conspiracy. Others, like House Chief Counsel Robert Blakey, have pushed a mob conspiracy, while still others have attempted to build a case implicating pro-Castro Cubans, anti-Castro Cubans, right-wing John Birchers (the forerunners of the recent militia threat), or Texas oil barons. Certainly, evidence can be marshaled to show each and every one of these elements percolating along the edges of the "Official" lone-gunman theory. But my main point is that, like the Official 9/11 Legend, these counter-legends exist - and indeed were built in - so as to furnish a number of false leads, thereby obscuring the most essential fact that a long-standing covert infrastructure has stage-managed both the crimes and the cover-ups, while parceling out the information to various witting - and unwitting - operatives. It is the classic case of not seeing the forest for the trees.

As for the existence of this infrastructure, it, too, has been obscured by various false leads and counter-legends - most perniciously, through super-natural, extra-terrestrial, or anti-Semitic theories, all of which share in common a tendency to discredit mainstream discussion of elite covert networks. Whether these theories come by way of long-exposed hoaxes like The Report From Iron Mountain or The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; whether the U.F.O. tales are stoked by individual military/intelligence disinformation operatives unveiling "secret" groups like MJ-12; or whether we get a "unified field theory" of all these theories by way of authors like David Icke (who claims to have psychically "channeled" the revelation that our world leaders are, in truth, reptilian shape-shifters) - the main effect, if not intent, is to distract truly interested observers from the more dry (and potentially more damaging) writings of researchers like Peter Dale Scott, Greg Palast, Lisa Pease, Donald Gibson, John De Camp, and others who have credibly documented real evidence of political and corporate corruption.

It's the same network doing the cover-up which should be at the focus of interest for JREF (not just for mockery but for serious uncovering - it's not about money). Listen to Dave Emory's speech 'The Political Implications of the UFO Phenomenon and the “ET” Myth' here (L 01a-c) for further information.

Right, pointing out his JFK nuttery is an excellent way to establish his credibility with rational people.

Some prose to cover-up the fact you have no facts to present to back the latest (old) liar on 9/11 topics? I pressed "d" to store this under "dolts for 9/11". My computer throws up and I have to reboot.

Have you actually read what you posted? Are you able to see the giant holes in his story? His stuff reads like bad fiction. Relax and be happy you love people whose fiction is posted in the political aisle of the library, because the librarians of the world know this clap trap is fiction and the authors are trying to push it as non-fiction, so it ends up in the aisle with all the other major lies by the BS authors of political tripe. Rejoice, go to where all the 9/11 tripe ends up, in the political area of the library, and thus warning the readers to beware of the BS, caution, use judgment before repeating this tripe.

Heed the caution, this guy is full of BS and repeating it will mark you with that special stink only truthers have found favorable.

But who cares who this guy is? His work is fiction. Have you made a mistake thinking it is true? Have you noticed the anti-Semitic side of 9/11 truth thinks this guy is stupid; now that is irony.

Chaim Kupferberg is the darling of the indymedia sites for the past couple of years. Most troofers don't read him because he's as dry as melba toast, so they just cut-n-paste someone else's analysis and pretend it's their own insights.

He's got a lot of mighta, coulda, sorta, maybe it was like this stuff in his writings, but I don't think anyone's ever bothered to debunk him because:

a) he's nearly unknown
b) he's so boring to read that no one's actually made it through that whole piece without dozing off

Your basic google gets about four thousand hits.... all conspiradroid and troofer sites. They do reference his material on the topic of John O'Neill. Now there's something I'm truly not looking forward to reading, -- and won't.

So? He's got the inside dope on the JFK assassination, 911, and OKC. Yep, another truly neutral academic source.

Oh, Beachnut... his books won't make it to any aisle at the library. He has no books. In the old days, he'd by that guy who's devolved from "that nice, if eccentric, man in the house on the corner who feeds the stray cats" to "The Crazy Cat Man who always has a wad of pages torn off off legal pads with copious notes on everything from Fluoride, to Reptile Overlords, to 911 Pteradactyls". Now we have the internet, so these brave info-warriors can write away to their heart's content, and always find someone who'll "publish".

At least that's how he seems to me, and I'm the greatest living authority on how things are perceived by me, so we'll have to take my word on it.

CE, did you finish the Hopsicker tome? On to other proofs of the ever inter-connecting global conspiracy, I see.

To be honest, no. It's still lying here half read. I have a habit of reading several books at the same time and Hopsicker bit the dust so far.

I've read the Kupferberg article back in 2004 already, it's nothing new to me. I often recommend it to people because of it's pre-Commission Report insights and because of the fact that a german translation exists online. As i can't answer the question "who is he", i thought i'd ask here. You don't have an answer to that either, but thanks for your informed opinion on his influence.
