1962, he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and became an artillery officer who served in the Far East. 

After a tour supervising recruit training in San Diego, he resigned his commission as a Captain to begin work 

in the history and philosophy of science at Indiana in 1966. He completed his graduate work by earning his

Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science from Indiana in 1970.

 

          He has taught at a wide range of institutions of higher learning, including the Universities of Virginia (twice), 

Cincinnati, North Carolina at Chapel Hill, New College of the University of South Florida, and UMD, where he served 

from 1987 until his retirement in 2006. His honors include a research fellowship from the National Science Foundation

          In 1992, he organized a research group consisting of the most highly qualified experts to study the death of

JFK, which led to the publication of Assassination Science (1998), Murder in Dealey Plaza (2000) and The Great

Zapruder Film Hoax (2003).  He founded Scholars for 9/11 Truth in 2005 and invited Steve Jones to serve as his

to Athens to be the featured speaker on 9/11 on a 3.5 hour television program broadcast worldwide by satellite.  He

was flown to Buenos Aires to speak in 2008 and again in 2009, where he was the main speaker at The International

Symposium on 9/11 Truth and Justice.  He organized another symposium in London in 2010, "Debunking the "War on

Terror'".  He has been widely interviewed on radio and television. 

 

This symposium will explore the physical, scientific, political and criminal aspects of 9/11 letting the chips fall

where they may. I will keep everyone informed of any changes related to The Midwest 9/11 Truth Conference.

 

Thanks!
