Biography:Jim Hoffman
Jim Hoffman is a conspiracy theorist from Oakland, California , who created several web sites about the September 11, 2001 attacks that analyze and suggest alternative accounts for the events of that day. His primary website, 9-11 Research,[1] serves as an archive of documentation and alternative analyses about the attacks.[2] Hoffman has also written numerous technical essays[3] which focus on the World Trade Center controlled demolition hypothesis.
In 2006, the Editor of Popular Mechanics, James B. Meigs, described Hoffman as a "leading conspiracy theorist."[4]
Background
Hoffman co-published a paper on "Computer graphics tools for the study of minimal surfaces".[5]
Causes
Justice For Woody
Hoffman was part of a citizens group that protested the killing by police of Robert "Woody" Woodward, in December 2001, after Woodward entered a church in Brattleboro, Vermont, seeking asylum from the CIA.[6] Hoffman created the website www.justiceforwoody.org, which is now defunct and its contents moved to justiceforwoody.wtc7.net.
September 11, 2001 attacks
Since early 2003,[7] Hoffman has been writing about the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) and other aspects of the September 11, 2001 attacks.[8] His work has examined the collapse of the smaller 7 World Trade Center, and he is critical of the official explanation of that collapse. Hoffman has also written a critique of the official National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report on the building collapses,[9] a critique of the 2006 NIST FAQ,[10] and critiques[11][12] of articles about the 9/11 conspiracy theories by the popular-science magazines Scientific American and Popular Mechanics.
