Debate challenge raised to $2,000!

Open to any UW teacher - prof, lecturer, TA

Dear University of Wisconsin system teacher,

It is the one year anniversary of the $1,000 9/11 Debate Challenge issued last March by me, Dr. Kevin Barrett, and the University of Wisconsin Sifting and Winnowing Club. Under the Challenge,  any University of Wisconsin system teacher - professor,  lecturer,  or TA - could have earned a $1,000 honorarium by defending the 9/11 Commission Report in a ninety-minute debate with a former UW teacher who has been blacklisted from teaching in the UW system due to his 9/11-related research, publication and activism.

Since no teacher in the entire Wisconsin university system is willing to defend the 9/11 Commission Report for $1,000,  we are now doubling the honorarium to $2,000 - and making arrangements for the money to be donated to 9/11-related charities. (This removes the "I don't want to look greedy" excuse for ducking the debate, and underlines the fact that accepting the challenge is a form of public service.)

Under the new arrangement, the $2000 honorarium will be donated to charities according to the outcome of the debate. If I win the debate, 1/3rd of the honorarium will be donated to the Feal Good Foundation for 9/11 first responders, and 2/3rds will be donated to Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth.org). If the challenger wins the debate, two-thirds of the honorarium goes to the Feal Good Foundation, and one-third to AE911Truth.org. The winner of the debate will be determined by audience vote.

Please help the 9/11 first responders - and the 1,000-plus architects and engineers who are risking their careers by standing up for American values of free inquiry and constitutional governance. If you aren't up to it,  please inform other UW system teachers, including TAs, about the 9/11 Debate Challenge. To accept the 9/11 debate challenge, contact me at kbarrett(at)merr(dot)com.

PS  Three cowardly UW-Madison professors - Donald Downs, Ann Althouse, and Marshall Onellian - have insulted me in the media, but chickened out of my challenge to debate. (As has State Rep. Steve Nass.)  Please contact them and urge them to debate Dr. Kevin Barrett on 9/11.   Donald Downs: dadowns@wisc.edu  (608) 263-2295  Ann Althouse: althouse@wisc.edu (608) 262-2444  Marshall Onellian: onellion@wisc.edu (608) 263-6829  Steve Nass Rep.Nass@legis.wisconsin.gov  (608) 266-5715 Or (888) 529-0031

Why Won't Anyone from the University of Wisconsin Defend the 9/11 Commission Report?

Note: $1,000 cash still awaits the first qualified University of Wisconsin teacher (professor, lecturer or TA) willing to defend the 9/11 Commission Report in a debate with Dr. Kevin Barrett, who has been blacklisted from teaching in the UW system due to his research indicating that 9/11 was a false-flag operation. Contact kbarrett(at)merr(dot)com by Wednesday, September 7th to claim the money and arrange the debate!

Thursday, September 8th, 7 pm, 180 Science Hall (across Park Street from Memorial Union):

World premiere of the new Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth film "9/11: Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out." (Watch the trailer.) After the film, we're hosting The Great 9/11 Debate, pitting blacklisted former UW instructor Dr. Kevin Barrett against...whoever wants to make an easy $1,000 and has the guts to defend the 9/11 Commission Report! Any U.W. system professor, lecturer or instructor is eligible to earn a $1,000 honorarium by debating Dr. Barrett; yet as of this writing there are no takers. Please ask YOUR teachers here at the UW to support free speech and debate Dr. Barrett, who was hounded from his teaching job for making historical arguments that nobody at the U.W. is willing to oppose in a public debate. (See the text of the full-page ad that appeared in the Isthmus last spring.) This event is sponsored by the UW-Madison Sifting and Winnowing Club.

Kevin Barrett, a Ph.D. Arabist and Islamic Studies expert, is one of America's best-known critics of the War on Terror. Dr. Barrett has appeared many times on Fox, CNN, PBS and other broadcast outlets, and has inspired feature stories and op-eds in the New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor, the Chicago Tribune, and other leading publications. He is lead editor of the book 9/11 AND AMERICAN EMPIRE (Volume II) and author of the books TRUTH JIHAD: MY EPIC STRUGGLE AGAINST THE 9/11 BIG LIE (2007) and QUESTIONING THE WAR ON TERROR (2009). He ran for Congress (winning the primary) in 2008 and hosts two talk radio shows. His website is www.TruthJihad.com .


If you can't make this event, or love the film and want to see it twice, the film 9/11: Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out will also screen on Friday, September 9th, 7-9:30, at First United Methodist Church, 203 Wisconsin Ave. in Madison. Details here.
