What's up with Prof. Jones joining forces with disinfo king extraordinaire Jim Hoffman?

There are a few possibilities, I suppose. I am also wary of Jim Hoffman because of his claims about the Pentagon. It may just be his role to fracture the movement. As far as Jones supporting him, who knows. Jones himself could well be disinfo--his role could be to link 9/11 truth with religious weirdness and also with the political right. I think it's a mistake to think of any of these 9/11 truth "celebrities" as anything but part of a whole, the whole being the early truth movement that is rife with disinfo... The trick I guess is to use tham as long as they are not liabilities (I think the marginalization of Uncle Fetzer went pretty well!) and dump them if they become more trouble than they're worth. Pretty soon we won't need any one person since more normal folk will be joining the chorus...

Well, the more I research the background of the highly revered boy-faced Professor Stephen Jones, the more I am becoming convinced that there definately IS more going on than meets the eye, and it doesn't smell too good. Now, the question that has been bugging me about why Prof. Jones would join with the blatent disinfo agent Jim Hoffman (who is a previous and possibly currrent NSA contractor) and company at the new "Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice" organization is starting to be answered and it doesn't look too pretty. For those of you in the 9/11 Truth Movement who see Prof. Jones as your hero, you may not like what this answer is looking like. Do yourself a favor, hold an open mind, and check this information out for yourselves and follow the links before getting upset with my allegations that Jones is likely a government agent sent to sabatoge, at least in part, the cause of 9/11 Truth.

Let's start with some history of how Stephen Jones was part of the organized effort to kill Cold Fusion research and discredit Ponds and Fleishman in 1989. Stephen E. Jones was a government agent - sent in by an informant at the Department of Energy - to undermine the work of 2 legitimate scientists, who threatened the control of the military-industrial complex, and the hegemonic rule of the People Who Own America, specifically those who keep us dependent on expensive, polluting, and problematic hydrocarbon energy. Please watch the video on google called Heavy Watergate, The War Against Cold Fusion http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2229511748333360205&q=Heavy+Watergate

The above video is 46 minutes long. If you want to see just the section regarding Prof. Jones, watch this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rtNORz4BDY&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2E8thestate%2Ecom%2F

Jones' shenanigans effectively prevented Ponds and Fleishman from patenting their work which could have resulted in the introduction of a new, cheap, non-polluting energy source.

I know there is a large number of people in the 9/11 Truth Movement who have become convinced that Jones' thermate/thermite theory is the best thing since sliced bread and is perhaps our "best evidence". Well, I think we should always be wary when a "leader" of our movement tries to lead us down a very narrow path. It's important to keep in mind that while Jones claims to have “evidence” of “Thermate” from Ground Zero, there is no chain of custody for his alleged evidence (which makes his theory easy to knock down by the scientific community), and in fact Jones’ theories lead people away from studying traces of RDX and similar explosives http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=DGUS%2CDGUS%3A2006-22%2CDGUS%3Aen&q=RDX+HMX (which unlike thermate, can be traced to point of origin) and never bringing his audience so much as within miles of mentioning WHO might have actually been behind the deverticalization of the World Trade Center Complex.

Additionally, there are some pretty strange anomalies around the destruction of the WTC that don't seem to fit into Jone's thermate/thermite theory, let alone conventional RDX/HMX/etc demolition devices, such as what happened to some of the steel core that was heated to temperatures "hotter than the center of the earth". Watch this clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kzOuyin_2as which shows a sample of some very strange transformed steel into a meteorite-like artifact. Listen to Brian William’s words when he says, “What on earth could make a meteorite-like artifact from the WTC debris, which was cooked by heat hotter than the center of the earth?” Perhaps watch it again just to hear it and see it again.

I’m not saying for certain that “fusion was involved” or any specific exotic weapon at Ground Zero, but I've seen enough anomalous evidence to at least warrent a deeper look and I'm not comfortable with the haste and stampede currently in the 9-11 movement to burry this question. If something caused the steel to get "hotter than the center of the earth", then we need a theory that goes beyond conventional demolition explosives, as well as thermate/thermite. This question is far from being answered satisfactorally, despite what so many loud voices in the movement seem to assert.

Why would Stephen Jones be placed (employed?) to undermine the 9-11 families and truth-seekers? Perhaps more so than anyone else, Stephen Jones (an expert in fusion, and also a long-time government contractor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_E._Jones) is in a position to serve as an "expert" in the view of a lot of the 9-11 truth movmenet on assessing the possibility of the use of exotic weapons such as fusion devices. But Stephen Jones is also ideally positioned to fill another role: the creation of an overly narrow demolition theory (relying solely on weak evidence of thermate/thermite) that can be easily debunked, while serving to spoil any inquiry into a more insidious possibility and denouncer of anyone who dared to question the veracity of that narrow demolition theory. If that alternate possibility was an exotic weapon, Dr. Jones would be one of the perfect people to put in a place of leadership in the 9-11 Truth movement… if anyone brings up a legitimate question about the excessive heat and proposes anything related to Fusion, Dr. Jones could level his “expert” opinion and state that such inquiries are “preposterous!” or otherwise lay discredit to the inquiry.

As for me, I don’t know what happened at Ground Zero, but my eyes are open; and I’m sharing the information, uncensored, and in the spirit of helping heal this movement by identifying misleadership when I encounter it. We run from one pack of misleaders, into a movement already pre-constructed in such a way that we all look up to the “professionals” or the “scholars” as newfound gods. Thank goodness they have the answers, saving us the trouble of thinking for ourselves. Well, inlight of all the never-ending shenanigans with so many of our "leaders", maybe it’s time to move on and be our own leaders - by becoming informed and thinking for ourselves - by creating our own presentations of fact, our own media… we don’t need professors, attorneys, or “experts”… all we need are open minded people who know that they do not know, and we all have that in common whether or not people realize that.

but I think your criticism of Jones is off-base. I found "Heavy Watergate" to be embarrassingly weak and I just don't see the basis for impugning Jones. I'd like to see a source for your assertion that the Pons and Fleischmann's results were ever replicated, other than that movie.

Also, I wonder if the reaction to Jones' Mormonism is different regionally. Out here (Oregon), Mormons abound, and people don't give their, uh, colorful variation on Christianity a second thought (except when they try to impose their beliefs on others.) His Mormonism really could not be used to discredit him here, in and of itself -- it's just not considered wacky. Jones did do research into the idea that people from the Mediterranean visited the Americas way before Columbus, but he makes a careful distinction between the limited conclusions he drew from his research, and his faith-based beliefs about Christ.

Frankly, at this point I am at least as skeptical of DRG, based on his tight relationship with the LC boyz, as I am of Jones.
