9/11 Truth Group after 9 years finally appears to do something useful. [W: #120]

Re: 9/11 Truth Group after 9 years finally appears to do something useful.

I wouldn't know since I can assure you I have never, ever made such a claim. You are, yet again seriously mistaken.

Post 1364, thread: “9/11 - Did the towers fall at free-fall speeds?,
Mark F said:
The curtain wall was the last part of the building to collapse


The building interior as already mentioned collapsed first, followed by the curtain wall which twisted and contorted on its way down due to the lack of bracing from the interior allowing it to keep its shape. All you have to do is watch the roofline as first the interior collapses, then the curtain wall to see how the building very obviously deforms during the event.

Post 77, thread: “So NIST lied about the failure mechanism of WTC 7 in the 911 Official Report?,
Mark F said:
The curtain wall was not sufficiently rigid or supported to be able to stand on its own for more than a few seconds.



Post 345, thread: “An exercise in logic”,
Mark F said:
The curtain wall is not the building, it is only a curtain wall and we know the building collapsed first leaving the curtain wall to stand very briefly in an effectively un-braced state.

Post 321, thread: “An exercise in logic”,
Mark F said:
The part that you are referring to isn't even the building, it is the exterior curtain wall, left behind when the interior collapsed leaving the curtain wall as an un-supported empty shell.
Post 352, thread: “An exercise in logic”,
Mark F said:
The curtain wall is no concoction. It was how the building was designed. You should actually become at least somewhat familiar with the material before you start telling someone they are wrong. It doesn't do anything for your credibility.

Post 123, thread: “Freefall and building 7 on 9/11”,
Mark F said:
What did Chandler and NIST actually measure and how to arrive at 2.25 seconds of G? Did they measure the whole building? No. The information comes from a single point on the NW corner of the curtain wall. This can not possibly be used to represent the entire building as that would require data from multiple points - and an acknowledgement that the interior structure collapsed prior to the collapse of the curtain wall.

Post 1174, thread: “NIST’s Fraudulent Report on the collapse of WTC7 on 9/11”,
Mark F said:
Doesn't the fact the EPH came down first, followed by the core, followed by the curtain wall by definition make the collapse of 7 World Trade not symmetrical? By my count that is 3 distinct stages.

ETc, etc, etc…. You clearly didn't understand what a curtain wall was at the time.

Ummmmm,.... :no:

I am more than well aware this is all about fund raising - marketing as you put it - and in fact have already made that point.

Ummmm…. :shrug:


Then why can’t you differentiate between marketing and the proper protocol for publishing peer reviewed research?

Why can't you tell I'm not talking about the results but the PROCESS which has been anything but the open and transparent which was promised rather than the cheap fund raising scam they have actually delivered?

"Open and transparent throughout the entire process" clearly has a different meaning to you than to, well, anyone else.

So, what needs to be verified about the “PROCESS”, Mark? The lab videos? Updates? What they are thinking? Their credentials? Who worked and when? Do you want the entire process video recorded? What?

At this point in time, what should be transparent about the “PROCESS" that the public or their peers need to verify now?


Since no research, data, methodology or analysis has been published, which is mandatory in order to verify anything, what can possible be verified?

You can rationalize all you want but when someone says "UAF and AE911Truth will make this study completely open and transparent" and "Unlike NIST,... By making the study open and transparent throughout the entire process, we expect it to attract widespread attention from the engineering community and the broader public,..." and "Soon, we will begin posting the process on the website WTC7Evaluation.org, where members of the architecture and engineering communities, as well as the general public, can follow and scrutinize the research as it is being conducted" I expect them to do just that.

"Completely open and transparent throughout the entire process means you don't wait six (6) months to even tell anyone what your are up to, publish a few Youtube video's and a few files that can't be opened then disappear again for another 11 months before you tell a group of lawyers your results are that fire could not bring down 7 WTC.

Still not sure why you don't get any of this.

They promised regular updates and delivered none.
They promised public participation in the process and there was none.
They promised all data would be available for public review during the process and none of it was.

But you think its OK to be deceptive, sneaky and underhanded as long as your team is the side doing it.

Got it.

We're done here.
 
Re: 9/11 Truth Group after 9 years finally appears to do something useful.

When NIST hides their data it is a criminal act, when CT nutters do it you stand and applaud. Why the double standard? Or is dishonesty OK so long as you agree with the results?

No double standard, and I ain’t standing and applauding anything. I’m pointing out your obvious double standard of requiring Hulsey to be open and transparent for research that has yet to be published while you comply silently about NIST’s undeniable lack of transparency and verifiability for a report that can’t be properly verified because the Model input data would “jeopardise public safety”. And NO, dishonesty is not OK so long as you agree with the results. Nor is your acquiesce of the NIST report.


I should add this completely open and transparent process was only announced to the public more than 6 months after work began.

So, by your fanatical definition and reasoning of open and transparent, Hulsey's research project was doomed the moment of the announcement. :roll:

Then after posting a few Youtube video's that didn't show much there were no updates, no open transparency for over a year. So much for open and transparent.

What is open and transparent about Hulsey’s lab videos on Youtube? Updates? What can be verified? Your definition, demands and literal comprehension of transparency are preposterous and achieved nor demanded by no other. Don't you realise transparency can be achieved when the research and data is made available to the public? Are you demanding they be filmed while they do their research?

And why do you cherry pick quotes but ignore their statement, "that there is still 6-8 months of additional work, UAF student review and finalisation before it goes out to the academic community for peer review.”? Is it because that contradicts all your other cherry picked quotes and preposterous reasoning?

Mighty arrogant of you, Mark. You don't speak for me. What ever gave you the slightest notion that you can decide when I’m done.

I don't consider myself the "spelling or grammar police", dude. I was just pointing out your hypocrisy and incorrect understanding that you felt was necessary to post. Perhaps getting out and experiencing different cultures will help your knowledge that both spellings are correct.

I've heard you say that before. I can only hope it's true this time around.
 
Re: 9/11 Truth Group after 9 years finally appears to do something useful.

They promised regular updates and delivered none.

I don’t see why you keep barking up that tree as the need for updates has nothing to do with verifiability or transparency. Furthermore, you posted a couple of their updates and Hulsey’s PHD students posted their dailyworking logs. So “none” is not correct.

They promised public participation in the process and there was none.

Did you register? Of course you didn’t, you don’t have the qualifications. You didn’t actually think any joe blow, such as yourself, would qualify for public participation? You must register and give your qualifications in order to qualify for public participation?

Furthermore, they stated(which you ignored over and over), "that there is still 6-8 months of additional work, UAF student review and finalisation before it
goes out to the academic community for peer review.”

They promised all data would be available for public review during the process and none of it was.

Really? Listen to yourself. What preposterous, unheard of standard are you expecting from them. They have provided some data, and I presume they will provide the rest when completed. If they don’t provide valuable data necessary for validation, then I’ll declare their research project bogus too.

But you think its OK to be deceptive, sneaky and underhanded as long as your team is the side doing it.

Not at all, and I’m a one person, Buck Naked, team. I suggest you wait until the process plays out, as "there is still 6-8 months of additional work, UAF student review and finalisation before it goes out to the academic community for peer review.” Then we can determine the validity of the project as well as it’s transparency.

That is why you fail.

All of those "updates" were posted around the time of the original press release were already months old material. Since announcing the project exists they have released nothing new. This is substantially short of being open and transparent throughout the entire process which is what was promised and any rational and objective person would agree with that.

Did you register?

Yes. Never even got so much as "we have received your request and will be in touch. Thanks for your interest."

Of course you didn’t,..

Wrong as usual.

You should stop assuming that your assumptions are fact. I realize your only objective here is to not advance the discussion but rather to take as many digs at me as you can which includes taking the opposite view of mine on every issue just because,.. but you know what happens when you assume, right?

You didn’t actually think any joe blow, such as yourself, would qualify for public participation? You must register and give your qualifications in order to qualify for public participation?

Where is the list of requirements for public participation? I saw no disclaimers, no qualifiers.
Who gets to decide who is qualified and how do they make that determination?
How come none of the other people I know who registered, who are very much qualified never even got a response either?

There you go making assumptions again.

Furthermore, they stated(which you ignored over and over), "that there is still 6-8 months of additional work, UAF student review and finalisation before it [/FONT][/COLOR]goes out to the academic community for peer review.”

I have not ignored. That is not the current topic of discussion. I'll repeat it again since you seem to ignore it over and over: this particular discussion is about broken promises of an open and transparent process that would include frequent updates, full access to data and public participation, NONE OF WHICH HAPPENED.

I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to derail the discussion away from the topic at hand.

Really? Listen to yourself. What preposterous, unheard of standard are you expecting from them. They have provided some data, and I presume they will provide the rest when completed. If they don’t provide valuable data necessary for validation, then I’ll declare their research project bogus too.

I am expecting what was promised - an open and transparent process with full access to data, frequent and regular updates and public participation. You think its OK for them to lie, to be deceptive and dishonest. That shows more about your character than mine.

Not at all, and I’m a one person, Buck Naked, team. I suggest you wait until the process plays out, as "there is still 6-8 months of additional work, UAF student review and finalisation before it goes out to the academic community for peer review.” Then we can determine the validity of the project as well as it’s transparency.

We already have more than enough information to determine if the project is delivering on its promises. We were told the entire process has been open and transparent with public participation and access to data. But lets look at what was actually delivered.

6 months of work in complete secrecy before the project was even announced (with an appeal for donations)
A very brief flurry of activity releasing some already months-old data and a few promo video's to give the illusion of legitimacy.
Then nothing for almost 11 months. No updates, no newsletter, no new data. You can't even get the files to open on the old data they provided.
No updates to the web/Facebook pages since they were launched in November.
The promised newsletter never happened.
No public participation. No acknowledgement of those who tried to register. Why does anyone even need to register at all?

On a scale of 1 to 10 they score a 2 if I'm being generous.

If NIST came out and said we are going to re-study building 7 in a completely open and transparent process with public participation and access to data throughoutand then delivered what WTC 7 Evaluation as delivered, Truthers would be up in arms screaming with rage. But if their own team does it that's OK - they are the good guys after all and are only after the truth so a little deception and total lack of transparency is all good.

Personally my prediction is we are going to hear very little else from this project, I'll explain why later.

It is hard to reason with a person who pretends to not understand that the process is that thing that happens between the start and the finish and that if someone promises and open and transparent process that therefore applies to the stuff that happens between the start and the finish. If one is waiting - as Buck is - to determine if the process was open and transparent when they only release their data (maybe) at the end then the answer is already obvious.

Well, to most of us anyway.
 
Re: 9/11 Truth Group after 9 years finally appears to do something useful.

Well then go right along and demonstrate how “updates” about an uncompleted and unpublished research project are necessary or even possible to determine “verifiability" and “transparency”?

There’s no data. There’s no published paper. It's not even completed. There’s nothing to verify.


This is more and more like when you thought a curtain wall was a structural element. You just make it up as you go, reality begone.

All of those "updates" were posted around the time of the original press release were already months old material. Since announcing the project exists they have released nothing new. This is substantially short of being open and transparent throughout the entire process which is what was promised and any rational and objective person would agree with that.

Is this your backhanded way of confessing that your previous statement of “none” was wrong?

Yes. Never even got so much as "we have received your request and will be in touch. Thanks for your interest."

That can’t be true. I received confirmation. Furthermore, if you got nothing(which I don’t believe at all), then are you saying you didn’t get a password?

Wrong as usual.

But you didn’t get a password… Yea sure… Everyone recieves confirmation and a password, it’s automatically generated.

You should stop assuming that your assumptions are fact. I realize your only objective here is to not advance the discussion but rather to take as many digs at me as you can which includes taking the opposite view of mine on every issue just because,.. but you know what happens when you assume, right?

I didn’t assume. I know because you would have received a password if you were telling the truth.

How come none of the other people I know who registered, who are very much qualified never even got a response either?

So just you and your anonymous, "very much qualified” acquaintances didn’t receive a reply along with a password? Yea sure…. The computer generated automatic response forgot just you and your acquaintances.

There you go making assumptions again.

Wrong again, because I received a reply and knew a computer generated automatic email reply would have been received. Therefore, no assumption was made, hence, demonstrating how you are just wrong again.

Personally my prediction is we are going to hear very little else from this project, I'll explain why later.

Now you're making predictions? Well that makes sense, since you don’t like to work with facts, reality and especially physics. But good luck anyway, maybe your curtain wall will support it.
