Tuition Dollars Disappear Into the Pockets of the Visibly Insane
You can find the strangest things on the Internet, including a collection of the ravings of demented college professors who aren't buying the government's attempts to blame the atrocities of 9/11 on the Muslims who committed them. A lot of these folks aren't just insane — they are visibly insane. Some examples:
|  |
|
| Robert S. Ellwood, PhD (Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Religion, University of Southern California) and Gracia Fay Ellwood, PhD (Former Instructor, Evansville University and California State University at Long Beach) find "evidence showing the probable complicity of high-level members of the military and the present Administration" in the 9/11 atrocities. | ||
 |
Kerry S. Walters, PhD (William Bittinger Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, Gettysburg College) considers it a "frightening, but not implausible, possibility" that the White House, Pentagon, and/or State Department were behind the 9/11 attacks. |
 |
Bruce R. Henry, PhD (Professor Emeritus, Mathematics and Computer Science, Worcester State College): "It is clear extraordinarily powerful explosives were used to destroy the WTC Twin Towers. […] The airplane strike was a mere smokescreen." |
 |
Joanna Rankin, PhD (Professor of Physics and Astronomy, University of Vermont.): Member, Vermonters for a Real 9/11 Investigation. |
 |
Judy Wood, PhD (Former Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Clemson University): "So, for the building to be collapsed in about 10 seconds, the lower floors would have to start moving before the upper floors could reach them by gravity alone." |
 |
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, MA (Instructor and Doctoral Candidate, Department of International Relations and Politics, University of Sussex): "Five years after 9/11, the official narrative is riddled with inconsistencies that every official investigative process has been at great pains to ignore. For those familiar with the oddities and absurdities of the 7/7 official narrative here in the UK, this should not come as a great surprise." |
 |
Derrill Bodley (Professor of Music, University of the Pacific): Signed petition demanding that Eliot Spitzer investigate. |
 |
James Goulding, PhD (Professor Emeritus of Religion and former Vice President for Academic Affairs at MacMurray College): "Would you like to sit on my lap, little boy?"* |
 |
Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki, PhD (Professor Emerita of Theology and Co-director of the Center for Process Studies at the Claremont School of Theology): "You watch how you pronounce my name, young man."* |
 |
Daniele Ganser, PhD (Lecturer in the History Department at the University of Basel): "Prior to Bush taking office, the shape of my face was perfectly normal."* |
 |
Robert S. Boyer, PhD (Professor of Computer Science, University of Texas, Austin): "Please don't tell Mother: I'm wearing her panties."* |
 |
Paul W. Rea, PhD (Lecturer, Graduate Liberal Studies Program, St. Mary’s College of California): "Ooo ooo ooo. Ah ah ah. Eee eee eee."* |
 |
Four Arrows, aka Don Trent Jacobs, EdD, PhD (Professor of Educational Leadership, Fielding Graduate University): "Paleface speak with heap forked tongue."* |
There are plenty more where these came from. Meanwhile, the cost of tuition keeps going up.
On a tip from Jay Guevara.
*Okay, I made up some of these quotes.

Funny stuff!!!
As to 9/11 this old say is appropriate: "Wishing won't make it so!"

It's hard to believe a PhD can be so...
stoopid.

Hey Jimbo,
It's even harder to believe that a guy who probably barely graduated high school, can be so dumb!

I mean "smart" Jimbo, hehe...

whoops, looks like we really are killing our allies this time. Seems to happen quite a bit. We killed a British soldier not long ago..But they are A-rabs, so i'm guessing you won't be too bothered.

Somebody with too much time on their hands might have fun with these "profs" and The Smoking Gun's Mugshot Collection. And create a game of "9-11 Truther or Serial Killer?"

So what is unusual about some one at UT Austin wearing their mother's undies?
Posted by: Big White Hat at June 12, 2007 6:10 AM
Yep, westerberg you are right. Bush, Cheney, Haliburton and Secret Enron (you didn't really think they went away) ordered our troops to deliberately kill those 7 Afghan police because they were in cahoots with Donald Rumsfeld to order a hit on Ward Churchill because he knew the moon landings were faked as a smokescreen in 1969 so CIA operatives could hide the explosives in the WTC.
Please stay on the topic. Accidental deaths in warfare are 100% unavoidable but it is safe to say thay they have been much lower in this conflict than in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea or Viet Nam.

Leftist trolls are not known for their depth of knowledge about military science.

That's just a rumor started by Karl Rove, the UFO people, and the reverse Vampires in their fiendish plot to eliminate the meal known as "dinner"

stoopid.
Particularly when there is video showing the buildings collapsing from the top down. But don't believe what you see, the conspirators probably faked the news reports and video footage as well.

The whacko gallery on this post looks much like the special ed class picture from an old 1960s high school yearbook. I'm glad they all went onto bigger things.
I looked at the Vermonters for a Real 9/11 Investigation website and couldn't stop laughing. These are some extremely synapse deficient mongrels.

Kerry S. Walters looks like Rasputin... are we sure this guy is actually still alive? Or just a mummified corpse from the Soviet Union?

Immediately noticed that none of these profs hold degrees in engineering or physics. Let's poll THOSE who do hold degrees in the hard sciences. You know, the ones who know what the hell they're talking about.
Posted by: fellowes at June 12, 2007 9:46 AM
Actually, the fugly chick with the limp damaged hair is listed as "(Former Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Clemson University)" And I think I saw a physics degree or two in there.
Not that it matters. I wouldn't trust any of the people in this Brain Trust to sit on a toilet seat the right way.

I wonder if the lead authors of the IPCC look something like this crowd?

As one who has accumulated almost 30 years in all types of welding/metal construction, I especially enjoy these folks' comments about the impossibility of steel melting as a result of the planes crashing...too priceless...

"Reverse vampires?" Do they donate blood?
Posted by: phil at June 12, 2007 12:05 PM
Dr.Walters (the Rasputin look-alike) caught my I, since he teaches at Gettysburg college. I've been to Gettysburg College to visit friends (though I never saw Dr.Walters). I checked his Bio on the Gettysburg College website. According to his Bio, Dr.Walters teaches a course on "Mysticism" (I shit you not!). How does he get grants to do research on that?
Posted by: phil at June 12, 2007 12:19 PM
Reverse Vampires are from a conspiracy theory described on the Simpsons
Bart: So finally, we're all in agreement about what's going on with
the adults. Milhouse?
Milhouse: [steps up to blackboard] Ahem. OK, here's what we've got: the
Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people --
Bart: Thank you.
Milhouse: -- under the supervision of the reverse vampires --
Lisa: [sighs]
Milhouse: -- are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish
plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. [sotto voce] We're
through the looking glass, here, people...

I hadn't realized that Steven Jones (of cold fusion fame/infamy), who is listed on this site, was behind a lot of the truther nonsense. BYU has apparently decided to do without his services.
Quite likely, that was also the fate of young Judy Wood, "former assistant professor" of mechanical engineering.

Glancing over these photos, I have to say they look like the faculty at the University of Chernobyl!
Posted by: Jay Guevara at June 12, 2007 9:53 PM
Your list here names Derrill Bodley, professor of music at University of the Pacific as one of the professors who you call "visibly insane." Derrill Bodley was a professor of music at Pacific, but he died several years ago. So I find your post somewhat misleading because you imply that he recently signed the petition when, in fact, he has been dead since early 2005.
His inclusion in this list is even more misleading for the following reason: the reason he signed a petition for an investigation into 9-11 was because his eldest daughter, Deora, was on flight 93 on that tragic day. I hardly think it's proper to call a grieving parent who is searching for answers "visibly insane," especially since many of the loved ones of those who died in those horrific attacks felt that the answers that came from the government in the months after the attacks were less than stellar.
I don't subscribe to the theories that our government was involved in the attacks but I suspect that Dr. Bodley didn't either. Instead, I believe he was searching to try and get as much information as possible about the events that eventually led to his daughter's death.
So I respectfully ask that you remove Dr. Bodley from your list of "visibly insane" professors.
Thank you.

patrick, but don't you see, anyone who dare "seek information" is questioning the word of the government which equals "America hating". How dare Bodley sign a petition calling for further investigation. The government told him what happened, we all saw it happen on TV. What more could he want to know? He was supposed to just shut up and take it. It's just more of that special kind of Christian "love and compassion" that's practiced here....
But seriously, you don't actually believe the guy who runs this blog actually does any research of the stories he posts before he posts them do you?
Posted by: westerberg at June 13, 2007 9:03 AM
Westerberg, look at the site. It's hardly a dispassionate request for more information. It's a lunatic asylum with a clearcut agenda.
Posted by: Jay Guevara at June 13, 2007 9:53 AM
You're talking about THIS site, I presume.
I couldn't agree with you more. A perfect characterization!
So, I guess you are cchallengind and attempting to discredit what Patrick Giblin wrote above? Why don't you call HIM on it?

"Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow "Moonbattery" will start appearing under its new title: WESTERBERG"
lol! I've been thinking the same thing, phil. That person doesn't seem to understand that the comment section at this website is for the posting of comments about the article in question. This isn't a discussion forum. There are lots of discussion forums on the web and we all know what they look like. I think that if some wishes to have a discussion forum that person should create one. Only thing is, he wouldn't have anything to say without someone to argue with. But it would truly be a labor of love, I'm sure.
Posted by: Kevin at June 13, 2007 8:08 PM
Hey Kevin, how am I off topic? My comments in thsi thread are only about the article in question and the responses to it. I commented on Jay's response to Patrick's plea to remove a prof. from the list presented in this post.
It seems Jay, Phil and you are the ones who digressed into petty personal attack here as your comments have NOTHING to do with the article in question.
Well,then, are you challenging Patrick's polite request to remove Dr. Bodley's name and picture from the lsit? Or are you intentionally continuing to offend the memory of a victim of 911? I thought there was some kind of unconditional reverence offered to these people. I guess not.
