A fair number of persons that claim membership in the 9/11 Truth Movement believe Dr. Judy Wood (and her close associate Dr. Morgan Reynolds) are disinformation agents. Are they agents or is their more to their stories... like... say... arrogance?

::::::::

With little fanfare, Dr Judy Wood and Dr. Morgan Reynolds Qui-Tam complaints made on behalf of the U.S. Government were dismissed "with prejudice" at the end of June. While there was no surprise at the dismissals of what can only be termed frivolous law suits, the "with prejudice" was a fitting touch by the presiding judge – The Honorable George Daniels. In his ruling, Judge Daniels states:

"Their lawsuits simply rely upon their own theoretical examination of information already within the public domain. Plaintiffs' attempted analysis of that information constitutes pure speculation that the NIST participants were involved in a cover-up to conceal the true cause for the towers' collapse. They merely disagree with NIST's investigative findings, and specifically wish to reject the basic factual premise that terrorist destroyed the Twin Towers using passenger-filled airplanes as missile-like weapons. Plaintiffs, understandably, offer nothing more than conjecture and supposition to support their claim that the towers were struck by high powered energy beams," (pp. 7-8) - click here .

Well, thankfully, someone still had their wits about themselves. Notice the words, though, - "speculation", "conjecture", and "supposition". This is how the non-Truther world views the Movement's differing theories. As I've mentioned on numerous occasions, a healthy dose and application of "faith" is needed to accept any one of the competing Truther theories, although the Movement's practitioners decry otherwise and fail repeatedly to even acknowledge the necessity of faith.

Just to be clear, though, Judge Daniels warned Dr. Wood and her attorney about continuing their "Quixotic Crusade through the Courts" when he stated as a Footnote 19:

"A belief, no matter how incredible, that the WTC was destroyed using secret exotic weaponry, does not give rise to even a colorable claim for relief. All plaintiffs, as well as the attorney for the plaintiff here, are hereby warned that filing further successive untenable actions may result in the imposition of monetary or other serious sanctions," (p. 19).

Now, this is all well and fine and to be expected (i.e., Truthers do Truther things and non-Truthers do non-Truthers things – especially the courts when their patience has been tested). But... after getting their heads slapped (legally-speaking, of course) by the "with prejudice" labeling and stern warning, do Wood and Reynolds stop? Nope! They file Motions to Reconsider based upon the court's – let's be candid here – "ignorance of the Law". Truly, though, the good Doctors are just labeling Judge Daniels as one of America's "sheeple" when they state:

"...[R]elief is... appropriate when a legal error has been committed due to inadvertence or misapprehension." (p. 3)

When you tickle the tail of the tiger, you'd better have an escape plan established. But did they? No. The two are compelled to see this silly dance through now to the end and (no doubt) will file appeal after appeal.

But did Dr. Wood offer any new compelling evidence in her Motion that would demonstrate "how" the court erred in its review of her evidence? Well, aside from stating that the court called the energy source a "United States secret military directed energy weapon [DEW]" where Dr. Wood in her original complaint called it a "directed energy weapon" and then implied heavily that the U.S. military is in possession of such devices and the complaint is directed a U.S. military defense contractors, she did not proffer one scrap of new evidence and remained entrenched in her (now legally dismissed) ignorance.

But... Just to add insult to injury, Dr. Wood further whined (yes, actually whined in a court document) that a needed conclusion in her Motion to Reconsider was that:

"At a bare minimum, removal of language from the Memorandum Decision that goes far beyond that which is necessary for purposes of rendering a decision in this case, and/or which concerns issues that are not properly before this court," (p. 5) - click here .

And this little ditty on p. 16, "It is respectfully submitted that based on the fundamental misapprehension of plaintiff's claims... the quoted portion of Footnote 19 [see above quote from p. 19] should be deleted from the court's Memorandum Decision. The plaintiff is a materials engineering scientist who articulated in forensic detail the nature of her claims."

This reminds me of the quote by Dr. Venkman in the movie "Ghostbusters":

Dr. Peter Venkman: ...Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?

Library Administrator: What's has that got to do with it?

Dr. Peter Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

Apparently, as a (dental) materials engineering scientist, the court is not permitted to question the soundness of Dr. Wood's conjecture. Now... she's just being petulant. If you can't run with the big dogs, sister, you should stay on the porch. Dr. Reynolds, you opened Pandora's Box and now you don't want to deal with its consequences.

So, the court once again head slapped Dr. Wood in its curt denial of the Motion to Reconsider by being as precise as it can be - click here .

But... does Judy take the hint at all? No. After all, she claims to be a Truther of sorts – although she's backpedaled from the inside job angle to the Truther theory in her Motion to Reconsider – and when Truthers have the "truth" on their side (cue patriotic music) al things are possible. Regardless, Dr. Wood elects to stay the course by also appealing the dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit - click here .

Now...no offense to Drs. Wood and Reynolds, but are these the reactions of open-minded and honest adults or are these the hissy-fits of children scorned? A frivolous law suit is frivolous whether it's filed by a PhD or an idiot, although the two could be one and the same sometimes.

My question is why do the two continue to pursue what has now been ruled as frivolous? Could it be that Dr. Wood is a disinfo agent of the government? She goes to great lengths to say she's not - click here . And yet, Dr. Wood also goes to great lengths to comfort us that she's "of sound mind" - click here . Hmmm... I wonder why she may have thought that others were questioning this point?

So, where does that leave us - the reviewers of her work? I think she (and Dr. Reynolds because they have paralleled their legal actions with one another not unlike "Dumb and Dumber") is being honest in her conviction. However, Dr. Wood is using her lawyer to spin that she's not (necessarily) a Truther (although what else can she be when she's accusing the military-industrial complex), and I think she believes herself smarter than those Truthers around her, given her advanced understanding of molecular disassociation and the Hutchinson Effect. In the end, though, she and Dr. Reynolds are only arrogant and have successfully perverted science into a tool of the political with respect to the attacks of 9/11.

"When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities," – David Hume.

Wow! Has it been that long since last posting at OEN - more than two years? Apparently so!

I've been busy elsewhere (e.g., Disqus: http://disqus.com/C4H4AsH/ ), but certainly not as prolific as I was previously at OEN.

Well, I think I'll start visiting anew and read the latest and greatest proffered by the progressive left. The next, four years (it's January 2013 as of this posting) should prove... interesting to say the least. Admittedly, I was amazed and shocked at President Obama's re-election given the abject failure of his economic policies over the past four years. Seemingly, a majority of Americans endorse the notion of a government-only subsidence. Who knew? Maybe Fidel knew, but Raul... Raul is finding such a notion odious.

But I digress. I look forward to re-engaging the Left on issues like: global warming, healthcare, "The War on Women", and the 9/11 Truth Movement - assuming it's still viable... is it???

I suspect an economic downturn on continued stagnation for America, which should please progressives immensely.
