... On the May 1, 2007 broadcast of "For the Record" (program #592) [Dave Emory] launched an attack on Steven E. Jones that is entirely characteristic of his sloppy research, ad hominem potshots, and general vitriol. I'll attach as much of the program as transcript that I could stomach writing below. In the meantime, you can listen to the Real Audio archive stream of his show here;

In which, Emory says that "many of the volunteers who helped out at the World Trade Center following September 11th, were actually experts in controlled demolition, and a number of them have put together websites debunking the frankly-- not just wrong, not just impossible, frankly, evil contention that this was a controlled demolition."
They have? Evil? Jeez.
But here's the classic. Emory states that the primary reason that Jones' research must be rejected, is that STEVEN E. JONES IS WRITING A BOOK ATTACKING DARWIN!
There is only one problem, STEVEN E. JONES IS NOT WRITING A BOOK ATTACKING DARWIN!
Dave Emory, is conflating creationist "Stephen E. Jones" with former BYU professor, "Steven E. Jones". I would extend Emory the possibility that he just got "mixed up" between the two, but somehow he has been able to flog the animated corpse of Martin Bormann as proof of the "underground Reich" for going on a decade now. Plus, he summarizes an article by Steven E. Jones, "Was There Death Before Adam?", in which the first line is, "In this essay, Elder Jones shows how death before Adam makes sense from a scriptural sense. He is not necessarily saying that evolution of man is true or untrue."
Wow. That sure doesn't sound like a hardcore "creationist" to me. It sounds like a moderate religious point of view. How did Emory miss that? It was right in front of him.
And he doesn't just bring it up once. Steven E. Jones, creationist, writing a book about Darwin, is the cornerstone of his character assassination.
From his broadcast;
"Steven E. Jones again is the "scientific expert" behind the controlled demolition contention. Steven E. Jones is writing a book, the outline is online, attacking Darwin. Basically, Steven E. Jones is a creationist, and is writing a book the outline of which I will have online as part of the description of this broadcast. Steven E. Jones is a creationist, albeit an intellectual creationist, he's writing a book attacking Darwin, so there's your scientific expert."
Again.
"...what Steven E. Jones "scientific expert" writing a book attacking Darwin maintains..."
Again.
"And for those riding in behind the scientific expertise, such as it is, of Steven E. Jones, well, all I can say is... check yourselves, 'cause this is a guy writing a book, attacking Darwin."
Again.
"We’ve got Steven E. Jones writing a book attacking Darwin, and yet, being help up as the scientific expert du jour of the controlled demolition adequates (sic) and his notion that he found traces of thermite on a welded steel beam reminds..."
Alex Constantine documented Emory's previous attacks on John Judge and others here.
In short, Emory employs the very tactics that he accuses the 9/11 skeptics of using; presenting misinformation & disinformation as impermeable Truth.

Partial transcript, For the Record #592;
Hello my name is Dave Emory and this is "For the Record" program #592, titled "Update on September 11th and Related Topics". This is being recorded on April 8th of the year 2007.
Well today is Easter Sunday, of 2007 and I thought in keeping with not exactly the spirit of the holiday, but the theme of the holiday, of course Easter is the day when Christians observe what they believe to be the resurrection of Jesus following his crucifixion, I should perhaps preface what I'm about to say and do with the following, I don't subscribe to the letter of any religion, I am not into organized religion. As far as I'm concerned, God is in the realm of religion and religion is in the realm of politics. I actually am a non-denominational believer, there's definitely more than just a bunch of dumb molecules bumping into one another but my non-denominational faith is based on my readings of theoretical physics and some of my studies of Buddhism and other things and I definitely don't think any of the world's major religions has is absolutely right, but all of them or just about all of them have parts of it right and the whole idea is to live a righteous life, you don't hurt people, you don't kill them, you don't steal from them, you don't lie to them, that's a pretty good prescription for living. But I don't ascribe to the beliefs of any organized religion, but I'm convinced that there's something, and I call it the force -- laugh if you will, but it's the only reason I do what I do, I believe in the law of Karma, and I think frankly that we are headed to a time of unparalleled darkness, and if you think that's conjecture, stick around, ladies and gentlemen.
I should perhaps stress that I don't want to offend anybody's religious beliefs, but this is a political program, and it deals with political analysis, and in that context we're gonna begin our discussion of September 11th and related topics by taking a look at the intellectual horizons of one Steven E. Jones, up until recently a professor of physics at Brigham Young University, a Mormon University in Utah. Steven Jones has emerged as the number one "expert" on the, frankly, not just incorrect but physically impossible contention that the Twin Towers and other buildings at the World Trade Center were brought down by a controlled demolition.
Leaving aside the particulars of a controlled demolition, and we'll be dealing with that at a future time, and in fact as part of the written description to this broadcast, I'm going to include a bunch of URLs in which this whole issue is discussed at length and in expert detail-- by the way, many of the first res-- many of the volunteers who helped out at the World Trade Center following September 11th, were actually experts in controlled demolition, and a number of them have put together websites debunking the frankly-- not just wrong, not just impossible, frankly, evil contention that this was a controlled demolition.
I exclude from inclusion in the realm of evil those naïves who have been looking at doctored websites on the internet. And people should be aware of what can be done with pictures; an awful lot. But there weren't no controlled demolition, a controlled demolition of such buildings under the circumstances would be physically impossible. As far as I know, a controlled demolition of a building the size of the Twin Towers is impossible, and indeed there was a demolition of a building at the World Trade Center following September 11th, that was WTC3, which had been damaged, but it was too tall for a controlled demolition. And it was a lot shorter than either of the Twin Towers. We'll go into this at some length at a future time. There will be a number of URLs where people can examine the scientific dissection of this argument.
But one of the things we should note is that Steven E. Jones a professor of physics up until recently at Brigham Young University, has emerged as the "scientific expert" du jour, so to speak, for the controlled demolition disinformation. I would note that one of the early people hyping controlled demolition was a guy named Jim Hoffman, who's a software engineer, when people first began floating this BS to me, I said, "You know I think you're gonna find that a lot of these people are actually working for elements of the intelligence community". Jim Hoffman, as it turns out, is employed, or was employed when he was hyping the controlled demolitions stuff in the early part of this decade by a company that's financed by Naval intelligence and the National Security Agency. Surprise, surprise.
Steven E. Jones is not only an elder of the Mormon Church, he was until recently a big supporter of George Bush, by his own contention. Steven E. Jones, his only scientific credit, such as it is, was to coin the term Cold Fusion, which is a bloody poor scientific credit, but that was the high point of his professional career, as far as I can tell.
Steven E. Jones again is the "scientific expert" behind the controlled demolition contention. Steven E. Jones is writing a book, the outline is online, attacking Darwin. Basically, Steven E. Jones is a creationist, and is writing a book the outline of which I will have online as part of the description of this broadcast. Steven E. Jones is a creationist, albeit an intellectual creationist, he's writing a book attacking Darwin, so there's your scientific expert.
And among the other things that he has penned is an essay that I have to figure out, I'm gonna go over it a little more carefully, it’s called, "Was There Death Before Adam?" In which Elder Jones... tackles the issue which is very troublesome to biblical literalists, "Was There Death Before Adam?" Because fossil evidence seems to suggest that there were things that lived and died, but according to the scriptures, Adam and his fall brought death into the world, and was redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ.
In the "For the Record" supplemental section... we have this essay... in which Steven Jones seems to suggest yes, scriptures suggest real death, the death of the spirit came with Adam, but there was physical death before then, sort of equivocal. But what isn't is an essay called "Behold My Hands" that's really the subtitle of an essay called "The Golden Era of Mesoamerica" and what Steven E. Jones "scientific expert" writing a book attacking Darwin maintains here is that he uses pre-Columbian South American iconography and statuary to attempt to prove that after his resurrection, Jesus did indeed visit the Native Americans, as he is said to have done in the Book of Mormon. By the way the Book of Mormon was discovered in 1830, it was supposedly written in hieroglyphics of sorts which Joseph Smith was able to decipher with the aid of the angel Moroni. Now the fact that hieroglyphics weren't deciphered until the Rosetta Stone was discovered, which it wasn't in 1830, and sure as bloody hell not by Joseph Smith creates problems, but not apparently for Steven Jones, again, I don't think any literalist, fundamentalist religion stands up too well under rigorous scientific scrutiny, but we're in the realm of science and investigation, and what Steven E. Jones "scientific expert" du jour for the controlled demolition freaks is saying here... well, in keeping with Easter Sunday let's read a little bit of The Golden Era of Mesoamerica...
(Let's not. You can view Jones' article here. Accompanying pictures no longer available. -r.)
...again, I'm not poking fun at anyone's religious beliefs per se, but I am poking fun at all fundamentalist literalists. And for those riding in behind the scientific expertise, such as it is, of Steven E. Jones, well, all I can say is... check yourselves, 'cause this is a guy writing a book, attacking Darwin. The controlled demolition contentions vary, Jones has also been talking about how thermite was used to bring down the World Trade Center, and even though the wreckage of the World Trade Center was shipped to China, he got a hold of some of it and he found traces of thermite, he says, well, thermite folks, first of all it does not produce long-lasting heat, as he claims, it produces relatively short-lived high heat, thermite is used for, (hold on to your hats, controlled demolition freaks), welding.
Now imagine, imagine finding traces of thermite on steel beams that have been welded. Amazing, huh? The actual primary application now of thermite is for welding rail tracks, I would note that right under the World Trade Center that would have got mixed in with the wreckage were the tracks from a subway station, but uh, it's pretty interesting watching the controlled demolition train leave the station, so to speak, uh, no engineer at that train, folks. We’ve got Steven E. Jones writing a book attacking Darwin, and yet, being help up as the scientific expert du jour of the controlled demolition adequates (sic) and his notion that he found traces of thermite on a welded steel beam reminds me of a ... Firesign Theater ... comedy albums had a routine which centered around the building of a time machine. At one point, one character who has supposedly traveled back in time comes back and he says "It works, it works! Nancy, see I traveled back to ancient Greece, I have proof, look at this grape".
And that's what I think about the thermite contention.
And for those of you who want to ride on the scientific expertise of Steven E. Jones, he's writing a book attacking Darwin, and he claims that after his resurrection, Jesus visited the Native Americans, and that's what all these statues prove.
Well again, I'm not into fundamentalist religion but there's a bit of an Easter touch I guess for those of you who have been deceived by Steven E. Jones. So, if the controlled demolition train is leaving the station with you on it, be aware that it's Steven E. Jones and not Casey Jones at the throttle.
And we've got Alex Jones, another space cadet, who has also assumed a leading position to a certain extent in the so-called 9/11 Truth movement, not that there is not a very, very, large conspiratorial complex involved with September 11th, there sure as hell was, but it ain't the controlled demolition-cruise missile hit the Pentagon stuff, and with Steven E. Jones and Alex Jones driving that train, I guess we can consider the 9/11 Truth movement to be Jonestown under the circumstances...
Program continues.
