Dr Kevin Barrett-Crackpot




Recently, I have posted a couple of articles in which is mentioned a certain ex-University of Wisconsin professor named Kevin Barrett. Here is Barrett's Wikipedia entry:

Here are the two previous articles in which Barrett's name crops up:

So you see, 9-11 truther and anti-Zionist Barrett associates with folks like Iran's English-language press organ, Press TV, and none other than Richard Falk.

I now take you to Barrett's own website, Veterans Today, where you can read his theory about a whole host of disasters from 9-11 to the London and Madrid bombings to the Fukushima disaster in Japan.

"The New World Order banksters introduced the Euro on 1/1 of 1999. Note that the digits “999″ are not just “666″ upside down, they also contain “99″ which is a multiple of 11…and not just any multiple! 1/1/1999 does seem to bear an uncanny resemblance to 9/11, which a few years later became the biggest, most emotionally powerful numeric symbol in human history."



"Illuminati"

Well, the only thing missing in Mr Barrett's "treatise" is the revelation that 11 of the 9-11 hijackers were clerks at a 711 store in New Jersey. I would have thought that this was some sort of a spoof until  I read the comment thread in which Barrett responded to a couple of his readers. The guy is apparently as serious as liver cancer (which, by the way, has 11 letters).

I think Dr Barrett has been smoking his socks.

Really Gary, where do you find these crazy people?

In academias, Siarlys. They are all over the place.

The larger the subject population, the larger the number of crazy's you will find within it. Even in academia, the percentage is small.

But I'm more interested in listening to the mp3's I downloaded from an old Theodore Bikel album, singing English folk songs. You might like "The Vicar of Bray." And I know you'd approve of "Away, Away, With Rum By Gum."

What did you say is so important about this Barrett character? He's been drinking rum or something?
