Niels Harrit is a Weasel. He’s the Back-Stabbing Fredo of the Truth Family (archive)

***UPDATE*** anyone want to join in on the conversation? We are having an interesting chat on the comments section… jump right in folks…

Just look at him.  He’s a weasel.

Disinfo specialist, red-chip peddling, snake oil salesman.  What he and Jones have done to the “Truth” movement is criminal. Their ridiculous claim about the “thermetic” material (that’s not even a WORD people) kicked the Truth movement right off the tracks.

Their own paper says that they can’t even be sure how it MAY have been used… they can’t even tell if it COULD have been used to blow up ANYTHING! Yet everyone runs around talking about this “highly thermetic material” as if it is the end all be all to the unofficial investigation.

Niels himself has gone on record saying based on the amounts of these chips they found in the dust, he estimates 10 tons of the shit was in the dust after the demolition.   10 tons? Unexploded “thermetic” material? What does that mean they actually USED to bring the towers down? 100 tons? A thousand? It’s completely ridiculous, like Jim Hoffman’s “Plausible” hypothesis for how the “thermetic material” was used in the demolition. Remember that? 100s of “illegal aliens” running around at break-neck speeds planting 1.8 MILLION individual CEILING TILE BOMBS and kicker charges disguised as FIRE EXTINGUISHERS?!?

More Bad Science Surrounding the “Nano-Thermite” Red Herring (archive)

(As Truther influencers start pushing the thermite distraction again (which even Professor Jones discredited) it's important to remember how it was used in the past to distract from very real convincing evidence from the RJ Lee Group ('it was a combustion event not a compression event'))

Another AE911Truth member has come out with what he claims is video evidence of the presence of  “nanothermite” in the demolition process of the World Trade Centers.  It is surprising that AE911Truth (an organization made up primarily of engineers and scientists)  would be promoting this video by David Chandler because it is an embarrassing collection of unsupported conclusions and really bad science.  It so obvious, anyone can pick it apart.  Unfortunately, I think that might be it’s purpose.

This “nanothermite” track that the Truth Movement has been on since the publication of the Harrit/Jones/Roberts paper has been increasingly dishonest since the very beginning and this is just another example of how “nanothermite” is blowing up our movement.

Which is, of course, the only thing this “super secret” pyrotechnic COULD blow up…

What they proposed in their paper was that they had found “active thermetic material” that utilized “nano technology” in the dust from the WTC demolitions.  In later discussions, they (Jones and Harrit at least) have estimated the presence of at least 10 tons of this unexploded material exists in the dust that was scattered around New York on Sept. 11th, 2001.

There has been a great deal of reasoned evaluation of the paper itself and the results of those evaluations have not been positive.
