Of course, if your enemy has infiltrated your camp and you are weeding them out then you are being devisive. Polarising. Getting rid of the filth.
Here is Jim Fetzer's reply to a smearing from Fred Burks (shown below, with chevrons), who would like people to think that Jim is the problem, embracing "concepts" that cause division, when in fact Steven Jones, Alex Floum et al are all greatly concerned with filtering the evidence to be discussed by their followers, and thereby keeping the real truth hidden.
In case anyone remains in doubt about what we are up against, I send this for your contemplation. This is a dirty fight to destroy us by any means.

Speaking of disinformation agents, Fred, since you have been a translator for Presidents, including, I take it, George W. Bush, and serving in that capacity requires the highest security classification, what, precisely, is your history with the intelligence agencies of the United States? Tell us about how long and in what capacity you have known Alex Floum and what kind of activities or operations, at home or abroad, you may have engaged in with him or separately? You know so little about the society and yet have taken such a major role in creating havoc as the recipient of what appears to be properly classified as akin to stolen properly, what right to you have to raise questions about me? I am a former Marine Corps officer who has published 28 books and hundreds of articles and reviews, founded an international journal and an international society, and held distinguished professorships. My life is very much an open book (http://www.d.umn.edu/~jfetzer/). You, on the contrary, are a smooth talker who is doing whatever he can to subvert the search for truth within the 9/11 movement. You are perfectly willing to make false assertions and palm them off as true. I am opposed to no-plane-at-the-WTC theories and my opposition to them has long been in print on our site's Resoures page. The South Tower came down in 10 seconds according to The 9/11 Commission Report (page 305, in case you have never read it) and the NIST has used figures of 9 and 11 seconds, while a billiard ball in a vacuum would take more than 9, which means, as I have explained to you several times, that the buildings cannot have come down under the influence of gravity alone but have to have been destroyed using powerful explosives that the government cannot explain. The calculation about a grand piano taking as much as 30 seconds to hit the ground was correct, given specific variables of weight and configuration in which the open lid functioned like a parachute (would you also deny that a piano with a parachute could take even longer to hit the ground?), while the values advanced by Jones were not even physically possible. If you want to review the bidding here, go to "Scholars: On its First Anniversary", where I discuss it, and to 911scholars.org, where it is examined in minute detail. Floum acquired the domain names at my direction and on behalf of the society. Why else would Alex have obtained them? Is he a collector of domain names? Were you privy to our conversations about this? You say it is difficult to identify agents of disinformation. But, in this very post, you are (clearly
deliberately) conveying false information with the purpose of advancing your own political agenda. In case you are again talking about matters that you do not understand, that is the classic definition of a disinformation agent! You appear to me to have an assignment. Is it your mission to destroy the search for 9/11 truth? Your actions powerfully suggest to me this is true. I cannot imagine anyone who studies this exchange ever taking you seriously again. The evidence shows that you are either ignorant or corrupt or both. As I explained to you before, it is a policy of Scholars ("Join us!") that, if either of the chairs determine a member is undermining the goals of the society, they may be removed. You and Alex have deserved removal more than anyone else in the history of the society. I cannot believe the depths of deceit and deception to which you have fallen in attempting to destroy us.
With gratitude and best wishes for a fabulous new year, you have a good day!
