Speaking of NASA.....

Controlled Demolition
On October 21st at the University of San Diego, Mr. Dwain Deets,
former Director of NASA Aerospace Projects, gave a multimedia
presentation on behalf of nearly one thousand architects and engineers
who cite evidence of explosive demolition in all three World Trade
Center skyscrapers on 9/11 and are calling for a new, independent
investigation into their destruction. These architects and engineers
are listed on their website at ae911Truth.org.
Mr. Deets was an engineering executive with NASA Dryden Flight
Research Center for more than 37 years and formerly served as
Director, Research Engineering Division at Dryden. He received the
Presidential Meritorious Rank Award in the federal government's Senior
Executive Service (1988). In 1986, Deets was awarded the Wright
Brothers Lectureship in Aeronautics, a distinguished speaking
engagement sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics (AIAA).
Resolutely empirical, non-political, and non-finger-pointing,
ae911Truth only asks for a new investigation of the towers’ collapse
that does justice to the forensic evidence it presents. The concerns
presented by Mr. Deets and the conclusions of Architects and Engineers
for 911 Truth are shared by hundreds of scientists; senior-level
military, intelligence, and government officials; firefighters; pilots
and aviation professionals; scholars and university professors; 9/11
survivors and family members; and media professionals around the
world.
Mr. Deets will continue giving presentations and is in the writers
group for ae911Truth.org.

Hrm, that's very interesting MT. Makes you wonder who would *oppose*
an investigation. After all, isn't inquiry, and the scientific
method, exactly what the Clingers and the Brads of the world claim to
advocate?
However when I hear he's a former NASA man I immediately think
"disinfo specialist". Any thoughts on this?

I don't oppose it. Looking forward to his ASCE published paper and
conference talk.

I don't know enough about Brad yet, but I know Clinger has already
made his mind up, he refuses to consider sinister motives, even if
that's where the evidence leads.
Interesting to note Clinger also believes Pyramids found on all
continents in the world, were spontaneously invented by little
children playing with sticks and stones.
As you point out, this is not a proper starting point for science. A
real scientist, or forensic investigator, would be open to any
direction that data points him in.

Hum........ good point. I think if there was a cover up, only a few
back in the day knew about it. I have a simple theory, all things
come down to job security, that's the bottom line for truth, contrary
to RNJ's theory of "economic consequences". I'm guessing Deets had a
mortgage payment, and liked his job, the last thing he would have done
is risk his position.

could it be he has gambling debts to pay, so he's gone into the
boloney business?

be sure to check out Alysia's photo blog at the bottom. Might she be
connected in some way with Mr Deets?

According to this,

Deets retired from NASA in December, 1999. How would his former
employment with NASA have kept him from speaking out on an issue that
originated two years after he left?

I was referring to the moon Hoax.
Richard Jernigan
A significant reason for Deets having nothing to say on the "moon
hoax" hoax was that according to his NASA resume
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/news/NewsReleases/1996/96-10.html
he had nothing whatsoever to do with the Apollo program.

Richard why is it you always feel the need to attack someone's
personal life when it comes to a difference in political views?
Before you attacked Jeff Latas. It might be more interesting for all
involved to stick to the data.
Richard Jernigan
How did I attack Deets? Presumably his NASA resume' is accurate. You
were speculating why he apparently had nothing public to say about the
"moon hoax" hoax. You accused him of cowardice. That's an attack. I
offered an alternate possibility.
Presumably Deets is proud of his atheist activities. The info I linked
to seems to be posted with his approval and cooperation. He is a
leader in the Atheist Alliance International. How is it an attack on
Deets merely to refer to info he seems to want proliferated? In fact I
was interested to see how you would react to the atheists' flat
contradiction of the some of your views persistently posted here. But
that's really between you and them, isn't it? I would really be
surprised if you see it as an attack on Deets by me, since I expressed
no opinion whatsoever about his views.
In fact, I would take the same position as the Atheists Alliance
International regarding many of your expressed views. That's not an
attack either. It just means we disagree. We can still discuss things
in a civil way.
I didn't attack Latas. I attacked your misperception that being
President of a US Air Force Accident Investigation Board implied
special expertise in aircraft accident investigation. I pointed out
this was not the case, using official US Air Force documents and
personal experience with my father. This was not an attack on Latas.
It was an attempt to correct your misperception.
You attempted to insult me by implying Latas ranked higher in the
Defense hierarchy than I did. I pointed out that in fact it was just
the opposite. This is no skin off Latas' nose. No doubt he served
honorably and diligently. We just had different career paths. Mine led
to greater visibility among the upper echelons of the Department of
Defense. Others had greater visibility than I. I don't resent it. I
seriously doubt that Latas would.
I did resent your trying to insult me. I hope we're over that kind of
stuff now. We seem to be doing OK lately.
