GRESHAM’S
: LAW AND THE “GRESHIE” AWARDS
:
:
: GRESHAM’S LAW is a principle of economics that states
: that 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
: pitfall s 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."

INTRODUCING
: THE "GRESHIE" AWARDS
:
:
Proud symbol of the "GRESHIE"
: Award is the 1864 Confederate State of Florida
: Three-Dollar Bill.
: 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.
:
THE AUGUST, 2000
: NOMINEES:
: CANDIDATE ONE:
: A NTSB board member, addressing the public on August 23, 2000
: said:
: "One of the things that we
: don’t know about these witnesses was what their condition
: was at the time they made these observations. You mentioned
: someone at a yacht club on an evening during the summer - I
: suspect that I know what some of their conditions might have
: been."
: CANDIDATE TWO:
: An independent researcher appearing on a national radio
: broadcast implied:
: 1. The U.S. government knows TWA
: Flight 800 was destroyed by terrorists .
: 2.. The terrorists came from or

: 3. The terrorists attacking TWA
: Flight 800 used American Stinger missiles.

: 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.
