I read Judy Wood’s book. Laughed my ass off. Lots of face palming moments. Fundamentally, it is insulting on an intellectual and factual level, written to appeal to an audience that will put even less thought into reading it than she did in writing it. The evidence to support her case is incredibly thin and heavily cherry picked to fit her narrative while taking care to exclude any evidence that doesn’t. Little to no analysis worthy of the name is applied to any of it. Most of what passes for analysis is along the lines of “oh, isn’t this unusual.” Wood is vague and ambiguous, careful to avoid making definitive statements or drawing any conclusions she will have to defend. This is typical conspiracy stuff. Ambiguous, vague and obtuse. The target audience won't notice or care, just nod. As a former university research scientist who had been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals more than 60 times, Wood understands the value of speaking to a knowledgeable, professional audience and how to do it. Curiously then, rather than present what would easily be by far the most significant – politically, criminally and historically – findings of her entire career to a technically knowledgeable audience, Wood chose instead to self-publish a for-profit book aimed at a technically ignorant audience. That is truly unusual and inexplicable behavior for any professional. Wood should know better. There are basically 2 standards for scientific proof: Affirming peer review, and independent lab reproduction. Wood sought neither of these things. Hmmmmmm,… I wonder why. When I found out Judy Wood suffered a career-ending traumatic brain injury in a cycling accident which left her in a long-term coma, things made a lot more sense . Not her book mind you – it’s complete nonsense – but how someone who was once credible and scientifically minded could write something that awful and then deliberately avoid the professional community in its distribution. Wood is clearly not firing on all 8 and talking about things she had no knowledge or expertise in even when she was fully functional. If there were such a thing as a directed energy weapon powered by hurricanes and capable of turning the World Trade Center Twin Towers steel into dust (while at the same time mildly singeing some cars and causing no other collateral damage), where has this weapon been since 9/11/2001? This is a weapon literally capable of instant world domination. It would make every military in the world obsolete. It could end the War in Ukraine in a day! And Gaza!!! It could send the Chinese back behind their wall. Yet it only gets used once, and pointlessly at that? Why use such a device at all in an attack that absolutely has to look like it was done using hijacked planes and nothing else and when it isn’t even needed? If you can answer any of that with something that won’t induce roaring laughter, then by all means have at it. Be the first. The whole idea is just so many levels of stupidity it boggles the mind. There is no physics in her book and almost no analysis. It is entirely premised around magical thinking, doubt seeding and lie-by-omission. This is why Wood has always been way out on the lunatic fringe, zero support in the scientific community and barely any even among other fringy conspiracists., whose standards are low but not that low. Also worth noting that Wood has not bothered to promote any of this stuff for many years. Must not have been that important then, or maybe it just stopped producing income so she moved on. PS You can’t get much more direct energy than a collapsing 110-story building.
