"Wood is actively trying to get people NOT to think."
Well, she sure as heck doesn't seem to want people thinking about anything beyond what's in her book, which was made pretty clear ( at least, to me) on the show.
Don't think, Wood will think for you. Yeah. I've seen this before. You all have.
The book may be the next best thing to bacon, but this person is not to be trusted.
Now, you can take my words and disregard them, but I'm telling you all - I've seen her in action over the years - she's NOT one of the good guys and she's surrounded by people like this Santilli creep.
I wonder - and please forgive me if this is out of line, as I am not trying to be disrespectul, but the question occurred to me - if Jay Weidner or Victor Thorn or Vinnie Bridges wrote a fabulous book that aligned with and supported your own theories, would you have any of them on the show and promote them?
I just hope you won't come to regret promoting this person - because that's really what it boils down to - down the line.
What was said on that show was a clear endorsement of both her book and of her. You really cannot separate the two.
I had a very bad feeling about doing this show prior to doing it. And I was right to be disturbed because I've watched her over the years.
Some things take a little longer for us to see clearly. This applies to me as well.
Please don't take my words as some kind of slap. I love you all, respect you highly and hope you know that.
I'm just troubled about this. If I've been out of line, please forgive me.
I think Lisa has a valid concern here about the promotion of Wood, and I agree with sitting that Lisa is "an invaluable part of any overall assessment' of Wood et al by way of her direct experience.
With that said, and as I discussed with Lisa yesterday in a FB message exchange ... ultimately objective Truth 'stands on Its own'. I also see this whole 'situation' as a possible means to separate the 'wheat from the chaff' ... If there are people within the SOTT/Cass network, or who are SOTT readers/subscribers, or who are new to SOTT/Cass, whatever ... that can come away with the thinking that SOTT is 100% behind Wood's work, completely dismissing or never looking at the massive body of credible Work done by SOTT/Cass/ Laura et al ... then it is their loss ... and the Universe has thereby separated the 'wheat from the chaff', leaving those within the SOTT/Cass network, who are seeking to align with objective Truth, a bit freer to do so.
Sure people can cherry-pick/point fingers/spread dis-info and claim that SOTT/Cass is not credible because a few of its members support Wood's work, or for whatever far-fetched reasons they come up with, but at the end of the day - SOTT/Cass does not need 'believers', it needs 'verifiers' ...
I would also like to add that before SOTT's broadcast on Sunday, I thought somewhat highly of Wood's 9/11 evidence analysis/gathering ... though I never thought of her work as the 'end all, be all', because, for me anyways, knowing the 'WHO', 'where', and 'when' is just as important as the 'WHAT", all which must always be researched/looked at
before deducing the 'why' and explaining the 'how'. I have always felt that Wood failed to adhere to this form of research (e.g., her leap from 'what' to 'how'), the only method I know of that can possibly begin to reveal OBJECTIVE Truth. Which, if I understand correctly, is the purpose of this network.
Also, during the broadcast I felt 'jarred' (a result of thinking I am aware/awake when in fact I have allowed myself to enter a 'comfort zone' or sleep) by Wood and the Woodites in the chat room (who were also calling in), and this 'jarring' has called EVERYTHING into question, including the evidence Wood has gathered, analyzed, and is now shoving down other peoples throats as the 'end all, be all' without ever allowing anyone to ask reasonable questions. That's all
before questioning if she even did the work herself (?) ... especially when considering the death of Zebuhr, who was supposedly one of her 'favorite' students.
Perhaps 'calling everything into question' was the purpose of Wood and her Woodites, either knowingly or unknowingly ... I do not really know ... But I do know this ... since I have discovered the work of Cass/SOTT, I have learned that it is not that simple/black & white ... in fact: "It's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma!"
With that said, I have every confidence that the Cass network will continue to ask questions (like the ones Lisa has put forth) and 'dig' until we all have some clearer understanding of what exactly/objectively is going on here.
Just some thoughts, FWIW.
