John Barry Smith was viciously attacked repeatedly by the "shootdown" tinfoil hats only because he presented a theory different than the "shootdown" notion. Included in the attacks were the allegations that the Cargo Door Theory was contrived by the government as "a fallback position" and presented by JBS to the LSoft Flight 800 Forum as
a government agent disinformationalist engaged in the felonious criminal coverup of heinous crimes.
In fact, Smith's theory was on the internet long before the TWA 800 disaster and arose out of the UAL 811, PA 103, AI 182 disasters "and possibly CI 611". http://corazon.com/.
The vigilante Storm Trooper tactics by the wannabe experts "shootdown" tinfoil hats for over six years now of deliberately and maliciously inciting suspicion, fear and hatred of anybody who disagreed with them have been outrageous and disgusting.
