Notes for Program, February 11, 2014
I have always believed that truth should not fear
investigation. If I have questions about Sandy Hook and the conclusions of such
people as Sofia Smallstorm, Dr. James Tracy, Dr. James Fetzer and
others, then there must be other people who also have questions regarding their
conclusions. I have invited both Sofia Smallstorm and Dr. James Fetzer on my
program. As of today, both have declined though Dr. Fetzer, from his last email
is reconsidering.
A very wise friend of mine recently said, “Listen to
everyone, read everything, believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own
research.”
Truth is not a popularity contest or something to vote on.
So what if others have previously produced their views on this event. Does that
mean 'case closed' - no other views are allowed? I do not have a monopoly on the
truth and I don't think that anyone else does either. I was not present at Sandy
Hook. Anyone who was not there has no idea what happened. We are all susceptible
and vulnerable to what we read and see in the media, including the Internet.
People should be open-minded enough to review all the possibilities, do their
own research and then draw some conclusions.
If I am sincerely looking for the truth, then I will find
it by looking at the event from both sides of the aisle, so to speak. If Sofia
Smallstorm, Dr. James Tracy, Dr. James Fetzer and those who
support their findings have done the research that I am engaged in, then I will
discover the same things that they did. However, I fully anticipate getting a
lot of hate mail as a result of this program. I again repeat, truth should not
fear investigation. If what these fine people have concluded is correct, there
should be no reason for me to receive hate mail. I do anticipate that there are
those who will accuse me of ad hominem attacks against Sofia
Smallstorm, Dr. James Tracy, Dr. James Fetzer, and Niall Bradley. I have
absolutely nothing against any of them personally; I just question their
research.
Reviewing and evaluating their findings is a legitimate
activity and should not reflect on their character unless they have presented
deliberately deceptive views. If they have presented their work for public
consumption, then people have a right to evaluate it. While we have a herd
mentality, astute people in the so-called truth movement should always exhibit
skepticism. That is my nature and I am sure that others also share that
characteristic.
I tend to believe that people reveal themselves in their
work and that I or anyone else cannot really portray them positively or
negatively because their work does that for them. People are known for and by
their work, whether it is in the books that they write or the videos that they
produce. If I produce faulty conclusions in my books, then I can expect some
well-deserved criticism. That is applicable to anyone who disseminates his or
her research and/or opinions. If each of us is known by our work, what we have
produced, then we had better be prepared to defend it. I believe that our
character, our integrity is defined by our work, what we produce, whether in the
written word or in video. We reveal ourselves in our creations, our work. In
listening to my program today, please keep the following phrase in mind: truth
should not fear investigation.
