Hit Pieces in the J.O.N.E.S.

Both direct and indirect

July 2, 2007


It is interesting that J.O.N.E.S. is the abreviation of the Journal Of Nine Eleven Studies.




Descripton of Categories

Direct hit pieces: The primary purpose of the article is a response to the work of Dr. Wood and/or Dr. Reynolds and/or Dr. Fetzer. This includes articles that are designed to undermine the work of Wood and Reynolds as well as articles that resulted in direct response to their work.

Example#1: The article "The Overwhelming Implausibility of Using Directed Energy Beams to Demolish the World Trade Center," by Dr. Gregory S. Jenkins, was designed as a hit piece directly recruited by Steven E. Jones.

Example#2: There was a copy-cat filing of an RFC 4-6 weeks after others had filed such documents. It was only posted on the JONES website when questioned if they had even filed such a document two months after they claimed to have filed it, as it had yet to appear on the government's website.

Example#3: The article, "A description of molten aluminum poured onto rusty steel," by Wes Lifferth, hardly rises to the level of a "journal article." (archived) What is the purpose?

Indirect hit pieces: The primary purpose of the article is not to attack or undermine the work of Dr. Wood or Dr. Reynolds, but the article aims to do so on a more sublte level.

Example#1: Revisiting 9/11/2001 --Applying the Scientific Method, by Dr. Steven E. Jones
In this piece, references are made to “nutty fringe science” and photos are taken from Dr. Wood's website (without credit) of "toasted vehicles" below FDR Drive. The "evidence" found on Dr. Wood's website is "repackaged" and proposed to "prove" that this is the result of thermite dribbling on vehicles parked adjacent to the WTC. In other words, the evidence presented on Dr. Wood's website is repackaged and "spun" in an underhanded attempt to direct the reader to mis interpret the data.

Stalking Horse

Stalking horse: a mask to conceal some design; a person put forward to mislead; a sham. Sportsmen often used to conceal themselves behind horses, and go on stalking step by step till they got within shot of the game.

"He uses his folly like a stalking-horse, and under The presentation of that he shoots his wit." (Shakespeare, "As you Like It.")

From wikipedia:
A stalking horse is someone or something whose role is to become the focal point for, or the initiator of, a debate or challenge. In reality, however, their leadership role may be an illusion, and the stalking horse is really working to promote a challenge or debate that will benefit a third party whose identity remains a secret.

The phenomenon occurs particularly in politics, where a junior politician acts as the stalking horse to promote the interests of a senior politician who remains unseen in case the actions would damage him or her but nevertheless wants to provoke a debate or challenge to a party colleague. In some cases stalking horses are not working for a particular individual but may wish to provoke a response that leads others to join in. In politics, the truth about the relationship between an individual stalking horse and a candidate may never be known, as both sides may claim that the (alleged) stalking horse acted without the agreement of anyone else.

stalk·ing-horse (stôkng-hôrs)
n.

2. A sham candidate put forward to conceal the candidacy of another or to divide the opposition.
