Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. James Madison, Founding Father
Dr. James Fetzer, a Marine Corps artillery officer in the Viet-Nam era who then went on to earn a PhD in history and the philosophy of science, is one of America's most proven and substantive critical thinkers, with twenty three academic books focused on how to create intelligence (decision-support) with integrity. A few representative titles: Scientific Knowledge; Principles of Philosophical Reasoning; The New Theory of References; The Place of Probability in Science.
As with most of us, he was shocked by the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and undertook a rigorous scientific investigation, bringing together multiple world-class experts and ultimately producing several books that documented beyond any reasonable doubt that the government narrative was false.
He has received many honors for his non-fiction investigations, and is today the Distinguished McKnight University Professor Emeritus for the University of Minnesota.
When 9/11 occurred he was again shocked. What had seemed like an isolated incident was now back in much larger form. He applied the same critical thinking and expert crowd-sourcing skills.
In 2012, after the US Government changed the Smith-Mundt Act to permit active propaganda against the US public using taxpayer funds, a series of event occurred in which there were allegedly many victims, the police were empowered to go door to door without warrants, and America became a land of fear.
For each of those events, Dr. Fetzer recruited experts, conducted a scientific analysis, and published a book of conclusions, generally edited — presenting the work of many minds.
He was now a target for dark forces seeking to censor him. Today over five of his books are censored on Amazon and he has been subject to cyber-stalking and malicious legal actions
