He is a very austrian oreinted economist, whos also interested in pre-Austrian french theory. Mises.org script interview Here

From 2001-2002 he was the chief economist in the Department of Labor. Said he got the job through an old contact

Reynolds also wrote a book that destroyed the case for labor unions. But.....He's one of these batcrazy 911 truthers.  His Troofer Website here  *shakes head.  where did it all go wrong?

Nitroadict:
On a more serious note, I think the basic assumption that all of this (what could attributed to the NWO) is due to incompetence & negligence fundamentally betrays the argument against The State in the first place, since it gives a soft-pass @ the argument of different people in different positions pulling just the right levers this time, as opposed to there being no levers of power, or means of putting people in power, whatsoever.  

I understand why our libertarian leaders play this angle, but you are correct, in return for avoiding short term criticism, they risk diminishing the message.

I love when people tell me the government is too incompetent to do 9/11 when they were competent enough to fool the world into backing an attack on Iraq.

Not to mention Korea, Vietnam and so on.

Only a fool underestimates the capacity for his own government to commit unspeakable evil.

ProudCapitalist, did you find any data to backup your theory about the frequency of plane hijackings and how they are never intercepted, etc ? Or maybe your 'theory' was something just made up ?

So you see Mr Reynolds and others like him as a threat to your agenda, yes?

Isaac Newton was also an alchemist among other things, does that mean his work on gravity and calculus makes him not worth the attention?  I could go on with various examples but I won't.

I really think focus must be brought to individual arguments rather than the peson making them.  You can't get sucked up in judging a person as a whole.  Because it is trendy to put 9/11 truthers as so crazy and off the wall, it takes that much more courage to say some of this persons' ideas are useful.  The argument most people would make would be more directed at the persons' belief in 9/11 conspiricy theories than on hisl work with labor unions for example, leading to an invalid argument.

i'd like someone to explain why  steel is still combusting spontaneously (timber left unsinged) at the bankers trust building, why the wtc site is still fuming after so much time has elapsed, and why the subway has been rebuilt four times, and yet structural steel beams rust immediately. steel, not iron, and with the usual primer, and paint job.  the bt building had been renovated, but that work is now being dismantled.  it's a costly exercise to leave such prime real estate vacant without good cause.
