Thanks!
Page 7, paragraph 3, the judge appears to say, "Neils Harrit is even offensive in the press". |

You know the joke... If you speak three languages you're trilingual, if you speak two languages you're bilingual, if you speak one languiage you're American. Let me try again orphia, can you print out in the only language I know any highlights of this case? I would put this through google translate but it's a photo, not copyable.

The Danish word "offensiv" means to be an attacker or aggressor. Apparently, Harrit has been quoted calling a colleague something similar to a retard in a previous article.
Also worth noting that Harrit is not a real Professor, according to this document, but "Lektor", which seems to translate into "Assistant Professor". |

I spotted a handful of typos by the way, so if Google has problems this may be the reason.

What is Harrit's CV? This should be on record... no? Is he a professor? In what study? Or retired? etc. He's not a physicist or an engineer but I've seen him go on about the physics of what happened as if he was an authority.

It gets muddy... The official homepage for Copenhagen University lists him as "Professor Emeritus" but also "Lektor" elsewhere. One of the major newspapers calls him "Lektor" as well. The court room paper calls him Retired "Lektor".
Nielsharrit.org (which is made by truthers) calls him Doctor. Could it be that he has a doctorate but is/was only employed as an Associate Professor? |

He's a 'Licentiate', a degree that was replaced by the Ph.D. around 1990, in chemistry.

Correct, in the context it is written in the judgment, it's about how active Harriet himself is in the press, not that he writes or says anything offensive. Harrit is actually very "trained" and always keeps his public appearances at a sober level, although often completely nuts.
Harrit is an associated professor, in Danish that is not a professor, but a Lektor. A professor is the highest "rank" at Danish Universities, "lektor" is second, followed by "adjunkt". The language spoken at Danish Universities is of course Danish, but quite often English is even more used than Danish and the homepages of the universities are also written in both Danish and English. That is why Harrit is listed as both a professor (English) and as a lektor (Danish) |

There is a difference in Denmark between publicly promoting your opinions/beliefs or keeping them to yourself.
If you keep your opinions/beliefs to yourself, you should also expect that no one in the media attacks, ridicule or in other ways makes references to you and your Opionions/beliefs. On the other hand, which is the case here, Harrit must tolerate that others also have a public opinion on his ideas and beliefs, since Harrit is actively promoting them in public. The judge further states that calling Harrit nuts is the journalists own opinion and as a comment to another article, and the journalist's freedom of speech is more important than Harrits feelings. |

I suppose when you become a public *celebrity* you have to be able to take all manner of criticism... but it's not cool when you are a public persona to act like a common person and you need to pretty much take what the public doles out. Bummer eh?

I'd love to think Harrit is a crybaby ***** who got his feelings hurt but... I think it's closer to what you said above about attention whoring and being a lot cheaper than ads on taxis and in Times Square. Probably more effective too. lol

There is absolutely no doubt that Harrit does this for attention. Many of his Danish truther friends have even admitted that the outcome of the case is irrelevant, since they got more attention than they could dream of, by just filing the case. And then of course, none of them understand law and every ruling going their way is the truth and every ruling going against them, is NWO crushing on the people |

What if someone like Harrit... simply got some dust and published what he (thought he) found? And left it at that? Would his NT conclusion automatically put him over with the truthers and all their associated insane claims? Or would his work be taken seriously... even if flawed, but an honest effort (albeit incompetent)?
He clearly seems to have run to and with the entire mainstream of the truth movement and voices all their (unsupported and unsupportable) claims. So in a sense he HAS made a spectacle of himself and inviting all manner of commentary about his actions and statements. You can't have your cake and eat it too. |

"Truthers" will defend it to the end as fact. The Harret/Jones paper is proof of this. They analyzed paint, showed the data that proved it was paint and called it "nano-thermite". "Truthers" only saw the "nano-thermite" claim.
They could have done the same study on dog crap. "Truthers" are only going to see a "hi-tech" explosive. |

These clowns are nailing their fate in history as charlatans and scientific frauds. It appears to be not innocent mistakes because they've had ample opportunity to retract but appear to dig in. This reminds me of creation scientists. No?

No.
But your comments are probably a good fit for those who consider money and fame to be the motivation. Is that a good reason for Dr. Harrit to academically, and personally, 'throw himself under the bus'? Dr. Harrit's work meets the primary scientific requirement of being reproducible, per the Dr. Harrit et al Bentham paper of 2009. With something as huge as 9/11, tenured, respected scientists have no motivation for telling provable lies about the official conclusions. Being reproducible, their analysis can be confirmed or denied by followup publications. If as you say he is a "clown", a "charlatan", or "scientific fraud", can I presume you have a strong proof? JSanderO, what published findings entitle you to cast such slurs on Dr. Harrit's reputation as an academic, and as a human. MM |

Harrit is a nut on 911 issues. Full blown nut case fantasy claims based on BS. 12 years of failure, and no one can support Harrit's insane claims with evidence. The personification of 911 truth failure, Harrit.
Now Harrit is proved by the court to be an idiot, on 911. Court has spoken, case closed. Who paid the court fees? |

A date has been set for the appeal case.
Harrit will be back in the courtroom March 12, 2015. |
