Is J. Hutton Pulitzer Really a "Smithsonian Laureate"?

1/4/2016

40 Comments

 
Note: This post has been updated with an additional Pulitzer claim.

This is one of those relatively unimportant stories, but one I found interesting as a sort of microcosm of the fringe history movement. It concerns our friend Treasure Force Commander J. Hutton Pulitzer, who recently claimed to have “100% confirmed” proof of a Roman sword discovered at Oak Island in Canada, and who more recently heavily implied that skeptics of his claims were the moral equivalent of Islamic State terrorists. For reasons I can’t quite fathom, I started reading J. Hutton Pulitzer’s official curriculum vitae, published in 2014 as J. Hutton Pulitzer Curriculum Vitae: Autodidacticism, written by Chris Cline.
While Pulitzer is not the author of the volume, it was clearly produced with his endorsement. He claims copyright for the text on the book’s copyright page. The author claims to be in awe of Pulitzer’s “genius,” describing him in glowing terms that apparently do not include spell check or basic Word formatting, since the book, like many Pulitzer products, is error-ridden and badly laid out. It’s also no longer for sale, for reasons unexplained.
 
The book was published under the name of the National Treasure Society, an organization represented by a single blog post from 2009, and the Cacheology Society of America, another organization lacking much information. Both are referenced online only in conjunction with Pulitzer and his associates. Neither had its name trademarked, according to the US Patent and Trademark Office. According to the Dun & Bradstreet credit reporting agency, the Cacheology Society is a limited liability corporation based in Dallas, Texas. The Texas Comptroller’s Office, however, does not have a listing for the company as a taxable entity. That would be because the company is actually registered in the state of Utah, where it was established in June 2010 and renewed its registration last April.
 
I guess that as the official publisher of Pulitzer’s many books, this corporation might be the legal entity Pulitzer referenced to me when he demanded I remove a photograph for my website. At that time, he claimed that he assigns all of his copyrights to a company. However, there is no way to know whether this is indeed the corporation since Pulitzer is associated with more than one company. In fact, the National Treasure Society is also a limited liability corporation based in Dallas and registered in Utah, and, confusingly, it shares publisher duty on many of Pulitzer’s books. It was founded in April 2010.
 
Unfortunately, Utah requires payment to find more information about the corporations, and I’m not interested enough to give them money. So, to return to Pulitzer’s curriculum vitae:
 
In the book-length celebration of Pulitzer’s “genius,” the fifth chapter claims that Pulitzer was the recipient of the “Smithsonian Laureate Award,” later specifying this as the “Laureate Medal – Media, Arts, and Entertainment.” But the text of the chapter doesn’t back that up, instead claiming that Pulitzer’s CueCat bar code reader was selected as one of the Computerworld case studies in business for 2001.
 
This is different still from how Pulitzer characterized the award in a 2011 blog post: “In 2001, CueCat, DigitalConvergence and J Hutton Pulitzer, the Inventor, was (sic) awarded the coveted Smithsonian – ComputerWorld – ‘Search For New Heroes Award.’” This is different yet again from how he described his award in late 2015 in promoting his upcoming books on the Roman sword: “Commander J Hutton Pulitzer won the Smithsonian Laureate Award for being the ‘Person Most Likely to Change Society as we know it...’”

The program in question was the Computerworld Smithsonian Honors Awards, which were instituted in 1990 and continued until 2001, when the Smithsonian severed all ties with the awards program. The awards continued under the Computerworld moniker thereafter. According to Computerworld, each year a series of businesses, individuals, and programs were designated finalists for the Computerworld Smithsonian Honors Program, and case studies in their business or nonprofit ventures were deposited in the Smithsonian as a record of their innovations and accomplishments. “Finalists selected for further recognition during that first decade of the Honors program were designated as recipients of Computerworld Smithsonian Awards,” Computerworld explained.
 
The Smithsonian did not have direct involvement in administering the awards. Instead, honorees were selected by a group of their business peers.
 
To puzzle this out required a little bit of work. Last week I asked Computerworld to help clarify things, but as of this writing I have not received a response from the magazine. This is what I have been able to find so far.
 
According to Computerworld’s official list of winners, the actual top award for the Computerworld Smithsonian Honors Program in the category of Media, Arts, and Entertainment went to the Jim Henson Creature Studio in 2001. Because I wasn’t sure whether the awards given out in 2001 were labeled 2001 or 2000, I also checked the 2000 awards, and that category’s award went to Real Networks.
 
But here is where it gets complicated: According to the Computerworld Honors online archives of the case studies, a company named JD Edwards actually did nominate CueCat and DigitalConvergence (but not Pulitzer the man) for the Media, Arts, and Entertainment award, and the CueCat did indeed achieve “laureate” status. However, while it was one of 311 nominees (“laureates”) whose case studies were submitted to the Smithsonian, it was not (so far as I can tell) singled out for further recognition and thus not a Computerworld Smithsonian Award winner under the definitions Computerworld used to define winners in 2001. According to the website and press release, the pool of laureates was narrowed down to five finalists, and one was selected as the award winner. Here is the list of the “finalists” for each category that year.
 
I am happy to correct this if anyone can find evidence that CueCat was indeed selected as an award winner, but nothing in the Computerworld Honors archives or press releases indicates that it was. By the way, the “Search for New Heroes” was not the name of the award but its slogan and the title of the annual journal in which case studies were published.
 
Computerworld began using CueCat codes in its magazine on May 14, 2001. Not long after, a massive security breach and a lack of consumer interest in the product led to the collapse of CueCat, resulting in around $185 million in losses to investors, which included NBC, Coca-Cola, and RadioShack, according to published accounts I found in books, magazines, and the Wall Street Journal.
 
So, overall, the claim given in the book is partially true and partly false. Pulitzer did not win the “Smithsonian Laureate Medal,” but his company, CueCat, was named a laureate of the Computerworld Smithsonian Honors Program, along with many others.
 
The book goes on to claim that “As a result of winning the Laureate Award, Pulitzer’s Life Work is available for Study at the following Academic Institutions…” (capitalization in original) with a list of dozens of major universities. This is also a partially true claim. The universities listed subscribed to the Computerworld Smithsonian Honors Program and received printed copies of each year’s case studies for their libraries. The case study was for CueCat, not Pulitzer. (I read it, in all its boring puffery.) This would be like me saying that my “life work” is available for study in hundreds of university libraries just because they bought copies of one my books.

Looks like just another guy trying to inflate his honors and credentials. It's a bit more difficult to make these claims in an age where people can, with relative ease, research claims being made and discover the truth.

Andy, did not J. Hutton Pulitzer himself write in correspondence directly to you, or during one of your facebook/twiter exchanges before he banned you, or as a comment on a blog post on your site, http://www.andywhiteanthropology.com/blog, that he was indeed a “Smithsonian Laureate Award” winner and that his "works" were taught or available for study in hundreds of universities worldwide?

I'm almost positive I remember seeing it, but in a quick search of your blogs and their comments concerning him, I could not find it. Perhaps it was in a comment posted under your blog "The Pulitzer Pageant, Fall 2015 Edition" where you have, under duress, temporarily removed the comments.

Not wanting you to be subject to more threats of legal action form J. Hutton Pulitzer, but If I am correct and you still have access to the statement, perhaps you could post it here?

It would be so nice to have his claims in his own words, removing any "wiggle room" now afforded by his not being the author of the book Jason used.

This was one of his comments:

"Funny Andy, since I won the Smithsonian Laureate Award and my body of work can be studied in 140 Universities and Museums around the globe and 4 major Universities teach my body of work as course work, I thought I was part of the club! Where can we find your work being taught Andy?"

Thank you Andy, that certainly removes his "wiggle room" or any possible backpedaling.

It also validates my 69 year old memory. I may use this as proof to my sister that my memory is exceptional and that I DO remember that she pushed me down the stairs in a woven apple bushel basket when I was 1 and she was 2, that she claims never occurred. :>)

I must say you are extremely generous in your sympathy towards him. My sympathies in this CueCat fiasco are allotted to RadioSchak, a company I fondly remember doing business with from the late 50's on into the early 80's, purchasing many items from my first pocket transistor radio to various electronic kits to adapters and cables for my stereo.

The Wikipedia article about the CueCat states: "A CBS News piece describing RadioShack's 2015 Chapter 11 bankruptcy lists the CueCat as just one of a long string of marketing failures[13] which contributed to the chain's demise.[14]"

>>> Abbé Augustin Barruel, a Jesuit conspiracy theorist who argued in 1797 that the French Revolution was an anti-Catholic and anti-monarchist conspiracy orchestrated by the Illuminati and the Freemasons.<<<

This is not a disputed subject matter in France - about the link between Freemasonry and the French Revolution. It is historically factual that the Monarchy and the Church were bedfellows and were toppled during the Revolution because they repressed the working classes.

The Roman Catholic Church was abolished in France as part of the French Revolution.

The whole subject matter of Freemasonry and its historical role needs to be re-evaluated anew from an objective and impartial position.

The word "conspiracy theory" is banded about in relation to Freemasonry like it was some sort of automatic fact and yet it is anything but a conspiracy theory when compared against historical facts.

The role of Freemasonry within history is given in many scholarly books where it is not described as "conspiracy theory" - for example the role of P2 in Italian politics.

Apparently, no one told MeagerFarce Pretender that the Smithsonian is the lynchpin for all fringe claims of conspiracy and suppression of historical discovery.

Why would he want to brag about receiving an award associated with the Smithsonian? Does he want to be disowned by the fringe community?

The main difference between the Edsel and the CueCat is that the Edsel did/does work. It was a marketing failure and ugly. The CueCat was a failure because it didn't work.

I would disagree. As a computer professional and hobbyist I ordered at least 5 CueCats as they were FREE! Once a hack was produced to turn it into a "standard" barcode reader, I opened the boxes and used them to catalog my VHS tapes and floppy disks. I think thatbthey finally went to the recycle location when I moved last, about 4 years ago. Had I known it was essentially a collectable I would have hung on to them.

Yeah, the ESTABLISHED STATUS QUO IS THE FRINGE MOVEMENT --- The Defense Department endorses the existence of Remote Viewing and Psychic Warfare and the Police Department employs Psychic Detectives when conventional police work fails.

The Fringe exists within mainstream establishment.

There's a Police File in Scotland where the main suspect of a murder is an alien from Outer Space and the Police Commissioner went on film in a documentary to state that. You can't get more fringe than that. And that's within established society.

Sure. Why not? Scott Reaney's grown boring enough for the moment, so we'll take a swing at disassembling your idiotic argument.

A) Project Stargate ran from 1978 to 1995 and was ultimately shut down because the CIA concluded it was never useful, that any information provided was vague and often erroneous, and that was that. That is not an endorsement by the Department of Defense. That is an admission that the project was pointless. The only people who still claim it wasn't are the people who were involved as remove viewers or remote viewer trainers. Reference: Major Ed Dames who's involvement with the project was as a trainer rather than a viewer and who has made a career since of proclaiming doomsday scenarios and dates based on his own remote viewing that never actually pans out. Even Art Bell called Dames out on his inaccurate and faulty information.

B) There is no such thing as "the Police Department". There are police departments in every city in the world, all operating independent of one another. What one department (or even several) practices does not reflect on all police departments nationwide or worldwide.

C) A police file in Scotland with no good suspects other than a witness's account of aliens does not denote even the slightest endorsement of the theory by that particular police department itself. Police gather testimony and evidence, and when there is no evidence to point to another suspect they leave it at whatever witness testimony they have until they can prove otherwise. That is just how police work functions.

D) There's a retired sheriff in Texas who Linda Moulton Howe routinely cites as a credible witness for stating cattle mutilation was done by space aliens, too. Neither this example or yours denote an actual occurrence or the belief of any establishment beyond the individual in question.

E) Neither of these examples are FRINGE HISTORY, they are simply fringe CONCEPTS.

Have a nice day. Try again soon.

My take away from your comments is...well, yeah.

Fringe ideas have almost always been a part of "establishment". As for "established society", well, duh. Believers and proponents of fringe ideas are, by default, members of society.

You aren't sharing anything new. Fringe ideas aren't separate from society altogether. That doesn't mean such ideas are universally accepted, either. I think the proper perspective is that there is a fringe *community* within society.

CueCat was nominated but didn't win (nor even make the finals) is what I took out of the article. All that means is that they got someone on the panel to send in a write up on them. Not exactly a major achievement. Especially considering they had backing from companies like Radio Shack.

As for having stuff stored at major universities, all you have to do is write a paper for any professional journal or present at a major conference. Not exactly hard. I have presented at a couple dozen major conferences and have a handful of journal publications. I know one university course that uses one of my papers. Guess I can make the same claims.

There was a point in time when the tech was released that someone else had claimed they built the concept and technology and it was summarily taken and they were threatened with legal action. Reference the comments about a stalker publicly made, as they are still used when people question his motives more than once.

Essentially the news floating on the tech boards at the time was that he took the money and ran, and screwed a lot of people in the process.

You'd think that such a huge mind in technology, if he was the creator of such a wunderkid tech, could find another technology out there to create instead of the repeated patenting of the same 3 or 4 things for close to 15 years.

But as I mentioned, these were rumors of the day.

I got mine for free as the original idea was to scan a barcode from the associated magazine, ComputerWorld, and it would launch your browser and take you to a website like QRCodes of today. I suspose the idea was to sell the idea to other magazines, but for fairly obvious reasons it wasn't a big success.
