Very entertaining, 5 minute long video exchnage between Hannity & Colmes, vs.
Wisconsin PHD, Barrett:

("I don't think this [teaching] is a proper forum for guys who hold extremist views like yourself," asserted Sean Hannity. Retorted Barrett, "No, you?? guys are extremists. Fox News is the biggest bunch of extremists on the planet.")

What makes Kevin Barrett tick?
UW lecturer just doesn't believe the government
By Aaron Nathans
.........Barrett has recently emerged from obscurity to gain worldwide attention for his belief that some top U.S. government officials orchestrated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He works to punch holes in the government's official version of the attacks from the second floor of the Lone Rock cabin.
Here he runs the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth. Members of his alliance have various opinions about this nation's level of complicity in the attacks, but all say they want a review more thorough than the one the 9/11 Commission provided in 2004, Barrett said.
Barrett, a UW lecturer on Islam, personally believes the World Trade Center towers were brought down by a controlled demolition.
He also believes that the story of the hijacked plane that hit the Pentagon is "preposterous."
"Their agenda goes way beyond Iraq. They want 50 years of war at least," Barrett said of the U.S. government, sitting barefoot in a soft chair in the cabin. The government wants to gain power over the Middle East and Central Asia, he said. "They'll be able to use the psychological impact of 9/11 for another 50 years."............
......Barrett eventually concluded that the attacks were intended as a spark to rally the support of the American people behind war in the Middle East......
.......The galvanizing moment, Barrett said, came when he invited Griffin, the author, to speak at UW. About 450 people attended the speech at Bascom Hall in April 2005, and it was rebroadcast on C-SPAN. The broadcast and publicity around the event attracted people from around the world to Barrett's cause, helping make the alliance a leader in the movement, with about 1,000 supporters.........
.....In recent weeks, politicians have sought Barrett's ouster as a University of Wisconsin-Madison lecturer on Islam in an elective, four-credit course. Provost Patrick Farrell last week reaffirmed the university's offer for him to teach a class this fall, citing the university's tradition of academic freedom.
Barrett, who has taught folklore at UW-Madison and Islam at Edgewood College, says he may apply for a tenure-track position at UW-Madison, if the right job becomes available.
Now that he's famous, Barrett's views have many people calling him crazy, but Leder, his old friend, insists that he is not.
"Kevin has always explored," Leder said. "He's never taken anything at face value."

....And this is an interesting presentation that encompasses the "theme" in almost all of my posts on TFP: (From the Psychology of 9/11 Perception)

THE PSYCHOLOGY of 9/11 Perception
.......... Facts are not always enough, and have never been enough. I can't tell you how many times I've shown people the OBVIOUS facts-- and they still reject the truth.
Why?
There are two basic reasons, both are related to negative emotion.
911=PAIN
So, people instinctively want to avoid pain.
<b>"I don't wanna hear it. I don't believe. You're crazy." They pull their hand out of perceived fire.</b>
<b>We have to create a new model in which
911 Truth= Pleasure/Survival/Peace</b>
Currently, 9/11 has been used to motivate the agenda of aggression and war (and the resultant power and profit) through the 911=pain equation.
<b>Here's the conventional 911 Sales Pitch:
"We must fight the never ending war against terrorism, or THIS will happen to YOU.</b>
....It is critical that 911 Truth must supplant and replace this sales pitch with a MORE ATTRACTIVE Sales Pitch:
<b>911 Truth will bring you and future generations true peace and freedom out of knowledge.</b>
Quote:
......Truth = Justice = Freedom
Then one can go into the how, why, when, where and all the details that point to the advantages of truth and logic over non-sense.
Otherwise people remain deaf and blind, and the war machine just marches on.
From a behavior standpoint, is has to do with the way we
process information-
Humans are NOT taught to think critically, or for themselves.
Why?
The comfort of BIG DADDY.
We are taught at the earliest age that Big Daddy will protect us and make us safe.
We are conditioned by the "education" system, i.e. social conformity, to simple absorb directions from authority figures- BIG DADDY, and everything else is SECONDARY.
SO, the ultimate question has to do with
MOTIVATING people to LOOK at and grasp the truth.
This is not an easy problem-- it is as difficult as getting a child to admit that they are the victims of parental child abuse. THAT is what we are really up against.
America has been raped by Daddy- 9/11.
At the very least, Daddy has allowed the rape of son/daughter to occur by forces not honestly identified.
That's a really hard one to overcome.
It is the most traumatic thing anyone can face. .......
