Scott Shay, Conspiracy Theories in Academia |525|

You are too much. Is there anyone else out there who does not understand that the Israeli on TV was admitting to foreknowledge of the event (9/11)? Please chime in. This guy... I dunno... is some kind of tribute to doublethink.
How was he admitting to foreknowledge of the event?

What is the timeline of events? The building is hit and the Jewish guys come out to see it (like a gazillion others) - or they were there waiting for the buildings to be hit? If the latter, you have presented nothing to confirm that except, so far, your imagination.

I understand that (your imagination?) is what you want to believe. Now, please enlighten us as to how you arrived at that belief. Please tell me that your conclusion is based off more than the statement that he was there to record the event.

Also, please tell us who that guy in the video is and how you know. What is the provenance of that whole video and the people on it?

Thank you.

Allan, I think preknowledge is generally accepted. (Bill Cooper, Rumsfeld Trillions, 'Dancing Israelis', PNAC, etc) Its important, and should be added to the list of inconsistencies but without undue emphasis.

We have the same problem again and again with statutory conspiracies. Lots of inconsistencies and we argue for decades over them, because we are stymied politically, and judicially for solutions. However, the arguing means we are winning culturally.

Alex did great in this interview. I don't see the disingenuousness you claim. He corned an educated normie and got multiple admissions. Shay sounded winded by the end. Sad he isn't more used to push back in his echo chamber.
EDIT: Sorry Eric for not single quoting the Dancing Israelis; I'll fix that. Oops did it again.

Incidentally, when you refer to the Israelis as "dancing", you're actually repeating a jihadi talking point. No one witnessed them dancing, nor stated that they did.

Here is one source on that point - https://thegrayzone.com/2021/09/11/dancing-israelis-9-11-plotters-spies-scam-artists/

I begin to accept that Skeptiko is a forum for clinical paranoids and assorted other tools and fools to jerk each other off. I'd rather interact with competent adults.

Adios and have fun in your own private schizo land.

I meant no disrespect to you or the 'wallflower israelis'. My point was that it's not helpful to go into the weeds on every everything. I listed it because its a reasonable data point with some evidence [like cui bono]. Speculation is not aggression.

Secondly, are you kidding me? Where have we been on this journey? Invading aliens, hungry demons, genocides, corruption, secret societies, SRA, and on and on. Paranoia? It's truths asking price.

Go to the end of this YT vid. The Israeli says 'We were there to document the event.' Your guest is either an idiot or Mossad, probably the latter. Again, Why, Alex, didn't you say they admitted it on Israeli TV? You surely knew or you would not have brought up their appearance.
(Alex, did you censor my other comment here? Why?)


I'm not used to forums so forgive if I'm doing this wrong, but you hit the nail all right, about everything. The '6 million' number (of Jewish victims) has been used for about a century. Etc. That Alex would fail to call out his interviewee (re it all but especially 9/11) says a lot.

A while back Alex started an interview with Dr. Tom Cowan, but refused to continue when Cowan first brought up the fact that the covid virus has not been isolated. (Cowan is in my link, above.) Alex in effect censored the truth. (It's not arguable that covid has not been isolated, in the true, actual meaning of isolation.) Someone does something like this and fails to apologize when the info becomes available, is likely to be a PTB (alt media) mole. Most of the alt media are of this sort, I've found. (If not formal moles then de facto (useful idiots) moles.)

It's good to know that some listeners to this podcast understand the 'problem' with Alex.
I listened to that..I remember the guy , Cowan, basically hanging up....Mandela affect?

If you dont have first hand knowledge, you dont know anything. Dial back on the arrogance. Reasonable speculation based on reasonable data, is all we have. Alex MAY be wrong on Cowan, but he isn't an arrogant asshole like you and me [in recovery].

Scott's main thesis seemed to be "that's a debunked conspiracy theory." He knocked down straw men and used hyperbole and pilpul throughout the interview. "Dogs sometimes bite, so does that mean we should put down all dogs? No, of course not!" *eye roll*

Intelligent people have real questions, but when certain topics have been placed off-limits, conspiracy theories are born. He must understand this, right? We now know that the Holocaust stories and statistics have been greatly exaggerated for political benefit, but we've all been born into an implicit social contract that disallows this discussion. I believe that the Holocaust happened and think it is one of the great tragedies of human history, but Scott is working against his own goals if he believes that calling people "Nazis" is going to silence the anti-Semites. Unfortunately, Scott is the perfect embodiment of the racist "Oy vey, Shut it down" meme.

The 9/11 dancing Mossad agents were a real thing. WWII is more complicated than "Hitler was crazy" as many of us Gen Xers were taught in high school. The Nazis didn't kill 6,000,000 Jews using masturbation machines, death rollercoasters, electrified floors, and bear attacks. But acknowledging any of these things IRL will get you crucified. The Overton Window is brutally enforced by people like Scott.
 
Note: Being other sections of this forum are closed to comments, I've been going back and listening to some past episodes, to refresh my memory and so that I may participate in some way as a forum member.

Alex's interview with Scott Shay was one of the most significant of Skeptiko episodes I've listened to. As one who shares the same concerns (specifically, with regard to anti-Israel prejudices that exists within academia), it was refreshing to finally get a chance to listen to a 'David' in the wilderness for a change, albeit one engaged in a seeming feeble attempt at raising awareness of this 'Goliath' that has infiltrated many a post-secondary indoctrination center in the West.

Admittedly, Mr. Shay's views on 9/11 (specifically, as to who orchestrated the event), are rather embarrassingly mainstream/uninformed, but aside from that what he has to say speaks to the very heart of the alarming Zeitgeist of our times.

I look at a world map and spot the state of Israel. It's but a flyspeck. Here is a nation surrounded by countries that are gross violators of human rights but still all criticism tends to focus on tiny Israel. How many Islamic countries are there compared to one, in Israel? All throughout history Jews, in general, have kept to themselves and have only wanted a national homeland to call their own. They now have one in what compared to Saudi Arabia and surrounding countries is but a flyspeck, and yet this is perceived by many the world over as somehow being inexcusable (?). As a non-Jew, I for one have never quite understood this. I say 'quite' because a large part of me attributes this to the same (arguably satanic) spirit that was behind Hitler and the Nazis and which has existed since the very first set of Jews appeared in the world. Let us not forget who the greatest of imperialist powers the world has seen has been since the Prophet Mohammed appeared on the world stage. It hasn't been the Zionists, but quite the opposite: it has been the (largely politically motivated) Islamists, beginning with their founder and very first conqueror.

I don't think many in the conspiracy subculture would disagree with the fact that in recent years it has been the far-left which has been responsible for cancel culture, political correctness, and anti-Zionist rhetoric. It thus is no surprise that the far-left and Islam would be allies (however temporarily, at least), since they share one fundamental thing in common: Both are anti-Israel.

In response to a comment made above by another poster, this scattering of Jews among the nations was never intended to be a permanent part of God's plan. The Bible speaks of a time when the Jews would be gathered back together. In Romans chapter 11, it is also clearly evident that God has not rejected them as a people. Has God sometimes used ungodly people/nations in carrying out his will? According to Scripture, this has been the case many times all throughout recorded, biblical history. (I mention this as a Bible-reading non-Christian.)

Sure, there are Jews who are anti-Zionist but (aside from this far-left secularist sub-group) many of these who live in Israel nevertheless belong to a messianic movement, and are only opposed to political (pseudo) and not religious Zionism.

(Incidentally, very strange that Israeli agents would be so dumb enough as to allow themselves to be seen 'celebrating' 9/11 near the crime scene on that infamous date. Which proves...? Why, Muslims the world over celebrated 9/11 also.)

In actuality, compared to the money the Saudi lobby has donated/donates to American politicians, the so-called 'all-powerful' Jewish lobby pales in comparison. This Saudi-U.S. connection goes back decades. Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter himself wrote an anti-Zionist book some years ago, so this anti-Zionist spirit we see in Western culture today is really nothing new, although it certainly has been increasing to an alarming degree in recent years.

Near the end of the episode, the discussion gets around to discussing David Icke (whose surname the guest mispronounces). As a David Icke fan I will say this: One thing that even a casual observer of Icke's fanbase quickly discovers is that quite a number of his followers, as noted by their explicitly expressed forum comments, are or at least appear to be adamantly anti-Jewish, and yet in Icke's defense whenever he uses the words Israeli and Mossad the emphasis has been made that he's referring to what he calls Sabbatians, whom he stresses are not Jews but who merely pose as such. Sadly, however, a number of his followers/fringe-dwellers overlook this crucial distinction and go about ranting and raving like rabid paranoiacs about 'the evil Zionists' and 'ZOG' (their meaning Jews), ad nauseum, thus demonstrating to me, at least, that a large percentage of them appear to be far-leftist and/or to have bought into the Arab/Islamic lobby's decades-long anti-Jewish propaganda campaign.

As numerous independent (read: unbiased) research has shown, it is this same Arab/Saudi lobby that, generally speaking, controls American universities and is largely responsible for the woke/PC anti-Israel environment on campuses; this, as part of what some western freedom-loving sentinels have termed stealth jihad.

What Shay writes about in Conspiracy U is an issue that, disturbingly, is quite rampant and one that is observed all across North America by those awake to it (and its origins)., and is but one voice among a wilderness choir that has been attempting to raise awareness of this conspiracy and which has been doing its best to push back against this far-left, censorious wolf in sheep's clothing existent within western 'higher learning' facilities and institutions.
