Subject: Tom Shoemaker's "Greshie Awards"
[excerpts]
"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."

"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 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 terrorists 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.
...please return often to view additional deserving efforts by "GRESHIE" participants!... "
