In Reply to: A Nomination for Shoemaker's Greshie Award posted by Michael Hull on September 02, 19100 at 20:22:12:

: Tom Shoemaker on his website has set up a nomination process for what he calls the "Greshie" awards.

: He defines this award as follows:

: GRESHAM'S LAW is a principle of economics that states when debased currency (like a counterfeit or inflated currency) is in circulation along with currencies retaining their full values, those of full value will disappear over time. Simply stated, the phrase "Bad money drives out the good" is an expression of Gresham's Law.

: Gresham's Law has found applications outside economics. For example, successful propaganda and disinformation campaigns have as their objective the driving out of good thought by substituting a circulation of counterfeit thought. If successful, these efforts result in the public discussing the false ideas and largely ignoring the valid ones.

: Using the definitions below can help the observer avoid the pitfalls of Gresham's Law in the matter of TWA Flight 800. Adhering to strict interpretations of the following terms may help the observer avoid the counterfeit ideas which swarm around this topic.

: 1. FACT: "A thing known to be true."
: 2. PROOF: "A way or means of showing beyond doubt the truth of something."
: 3. HYPOTHESIS: "Something assumed because it appears likely to be a true explanation."
: 4. GUESS: "To form an opinion without really knowing."
: 5. SPECULATION: "(1) The action or process of guessing. (2) The act or fact of taking part in any risky enterprise or transaction."
: (All definitions taken from the 1977 World Book Encyclopedia / emphasis by TWA 800 Case Files)

: Below is the August, 2000 start of an archive of nominations for the "GRESHIE", an award of recognition for noteworthy accomplishment in the activity of disseminating weakly supported, shaky, and debased ideas and information about TWA Flight 800 to the public, thereby handicapping constructive discussion based on facts.

: By competing for the "GRESHIE" the individuals below unfortunately nurture the continued negative social impact of Gresham's Law and hurt the cause of uncovering the truth about TWA Flight 800.

: Shoemaker's August 2000 nominees include:

: An independent researcher appearing on a national radio broadcast who implied:
: 1. The U.S. government knows TWA Flight 800 was destroyed by terrorists .
: 2.. The terrorists came from or were sponsored by Iran.
: 3. The terrorists attacking TWA Flight 800 used American Stinger missiles.
: 4. The American Stinger missiles the terrorists used to attack TWA Flight 800 came from Afghanistan.
: 5. TWA Flight 800 was hit by two or three Stinger missiles.
: 6. One of the terrorist Stinger missiles was launched from the beach.
: 7. Two Stinger missiles were launched at TWA Flight 800 by terrorists on two separate boats.
: 8. The "30-Knot Track" was a speedboat that wound up off the coast of New Jersey .
: 9. Boeing knows its aircraft was attacked by terrorist missiles but will not state that because of lucrative defense contracts it does not want to jeopardize.
: 10. Instead of pursuing the terrorists that attacked TWA Flight 800, the US government has intentionally helped the terrorists avoid persecution.

: I nominate Tom Shoemaker himself for his own Greshie award for wondering during his interview with the FBI (http://www.multipull.com/twacasefile/febnews.html):

: "If there were special holsters for Special Agents who wore dresses."

: and for his proof that:

: "J.Edgar Hoover had looked into this question years ago. He was a detail man. Except on some nights, when he wasn't."

: Regards
: Michael Hull
