THE VANCOUVER HEARINGS - a look at Jim Fetzer's antics
As you may or may not know, I was personally invited by Jim Fetzer - in quite insisting manner - to his 'Vancouver Hearings' - back in April of this year. Now that I know a bit more about what exactly Fetzer & co are up to, I really feel the need to share with everyone the details of this whole story. So, to begin with, here are extracts from Jim's repeated mails inviting me to the Vancouver conference:
I didn't respond to Jim Fetzer imediately, so the next day he wrote back:***************************************

Simon,

Are you aware of The Vancouver Hearings, which are
going to be held 15-17 June in Vancouver? Check out

My inference is that you are in Italy. If that is wrong, let
me know. If I were to invite you to join us as a speaker,
would you be able to get yourself back and forth to B.C.?
Warm regards,
Jim

Simon,
To clarify my meaning, I am going to try to cover the
transportation expenses for our speakers, but I can't
make any promises. If you are on the program, as I
would very much like, can you manage to get back
and forth without knowing in advance I can cover it?
Warm regards,
Jim
I eventually replied:**************************************************

Simon,
Not hearing back suggests to me that, at some point in
time, I may have done something to offend or upset you.
It would not be the first time. Let me say that I think you
would be a perfect speaking for the program--and that I
may have figured out how to get you there and back, even
if you ARE in Italy! So please forgive my transgressions.
I am not the soul of tact and diplomacy, but my sincerity
is not in doubt. Let me know if this interests you at all.
Warm regards,
Jim

Jim,
Thanks for your invite to the Vancouver Hearings.
However, I won't be able to make it - mostly due to previous summer commitments.
I also have my good reasons for keeping well clear of certain '9/11 truth circles'.
I am actually travelling right now and have presently no time to elaborate about these reasons (I may do so in a future mail to you).
Kind regards
Simon
I had, of course, already quite a few good reasons to doubt Mr. Fetzer's sincerity: back in August 2007, he had invited a previously unheard of "9/11 video researcher" by the name of 'Ace Baker' to present my September Clues at his MADISON CONFERENCE. Back then, Fetzer had made no efforts to contact me whatsoever - although I had published September Clues online two months earlier. Quite predictably, Baker and Fetzer are now engaging in bitter infighting...
In recent times, of course, Jim Fetzer has acted as if he's discovered the "no-plane" paradigm all by himself, while his many articles on the subject always provide innumerable links to all sorts of forums and websites ... yet never to Cluesforum.info and septemberclues.org ! Much in the same way as Phil Jayhan "hijacked" the Vicsim findings (pretending for months that he'd never seen/read the "Vicsim Report") Fetzer is now loudly championing the "no plane theory" - in order to derail it all into la la land. It doesn't get more obvious that Fetzer's co-opting tactics are ultimately finalized to discredit the SC research, by associating it with clownish characters such as 'crop circlers' Richard Hall and Nick Kollerstrom.
Nick Kollerstrom - crop circle expert and "Holo-denier"
Let's first take a look at Nicholas Kollerstrom. Here is how the VANCOUVER CONFERENCE introduces Kollerstrom:
Nicholas Kollerstrom, “Did a Phantom Plane hit the 2nd Tower?” (40 minutes)
Ph.D., historian of science, including articles on Sir Isaac Newton, Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, founding member of the UK’s 9/11 Truth movement, member of the New York Academy of Sciences, author of 7/7: TERROR ON THE TUBE (3rd edition, 2012)
http://www.911vancouverhearings.com/
Nicholas Kollerstrom (born 13 December 1946) is an English writer and historian of science. He is a former honorary research fellow in Science and Technology Studies at University College, London (UCL), and a former lunar gardening correspondent for the BBC. He is the author or co-author of a number of books, including Gardening and Planting by the Moon (an annual series beginning 1980), Newton’s Forgotten Lunar Theory (2000), Crop Circles (2002), and Terror on the Tube (2009).
Kollerstrom has been involved in the UK as a political activist regarding issues such as the 1982 sinking of the Belgrano by the British Navy during the Falklands War, after which he helped set up the Belgrano Action Group, and the 7 July 2005 London bombings, which he argues may not have been carried out by the men accused of the attack. He came to public attention in April 2008 when he lost his fellowship with UCL after posting what he described as “revisionist” material about Auschwitz on a website known for its Holocaust denial.
And here is an extract of Kollerstrom' 2012 Vancouver speech :
Of course, I have NEVER stated such an inanity: Kollerstrom appears to push an agenda aimed at misrepresenting the SC research and smear it with ridicule. So who exactly is this Nicholas Kollerstrom, you might rightly ask? Well, some of you may remember him from our old 7/7 thread here. The man is apparently the founder of the UK 7/7 Truth Movement, deals with crop circles - and is 'put to shame' by the BBC as a kooky Holocaust denier... Quite a cocktail!"It is unknown, for many of the videos, who exactly took them and where they were taken from – as if there was pressure upon those who took the videos to shut up. Famously, Mr Michael Hezarkhani took the video of the plane merging like butter into the 2nd Tower, which CNN took off him to use on its News, and he would not say anything more about it to anyone.Another with a close-up film of the impact was paid quite a lot by CNN to hand over his film and keep quiet. Simon Shack (‘September Clues’) argued that CNN did so in order to insert ‘planes’ into the photograph, but Richard Hall believes they rather wanted to check how their optical illusion appeared at the ‘impact’ point."

RICHARD HALL - crop circle, UFO expert and 9/11 "Holo-theorist"
Richard D. Hall, the "9/11 Hologram theorist" who got Jim Fetzer to formulate this 'classic' conclusion:
"The videos were real and the plane was fake, - not a fake video of a real plane as some have alleged."(Jim Fetzer)
http://donaldfox.wordpress.com/2012/07/ ... sentation/
Here's the sort of stuff Mr. Hall is into:

Richard Hall also claims to have worked for the UK Trident programme.
I hope everyone gets the drift here. All these clowns are up to - Fetzer, Baker, Kollerstrom, Hall and all - is finalized to hijack and discredit the TV fakery research (in the eyes of the public at large) - by associating it with a zany bunch of fools - like themselves.
