Scott Wolter Says Only People with "Proper Character" and "Ethics" Can Review His Research Documents

7/10/2015

46 Comments

 
If you’ve been following the discussion on Scott Wolter’s blog the past few days, you will have seen some interesting disagreement between Wolter and some of the posters who have offered up comments. Among the more interesting was the question of whether Wolter planned to make available his research reports and documentation for the investigations he has conducted. Wolter replied that such reports were already available “with footnotes,” and then added this regarding the Kensington Rune Stone:
Release all documents? First, all of my scientific reports and related research is already published with citations and footnotes. Second, other supporting documents, samples, test reports, written peer reviews, notes, site visits, interviews, etc,. will be given to the proper institution in the near future. I am currently working with the Ohman Family and an institution right now in fact, to ensure security and proper succession of the documents, research and artifacts.

Because of the actions of certain miss-guided (sic) individuals and often maniacal non-serious skeptics we are making sure access to these documents is controlled and allowed only for people who can demonstrate they have both the expertise (not necessarily an advanced academic degree), proper character and a history of employing proper ethics before they will be allowed access to the materials. Before crying foul, keep in mind these are the very things that I am bound to as a licensed professional geologist and something I take very seriously. I have not seen the same ethical behavior exhibited by many academics in this arena. 
That second paragraph is really something else. “Proper character”? I would be very interested to know what kind of institution would require a character test to allow access to research papers. What might that entail?

Wolter also said that he’s considering a registration policy to post on his blog due to comments from critics that he considers extreme and distasteful, particularly one from an anonymous poster who linked America Unearthed to white supremacy in an apparently unpublished post in a discussion with a school teacher who said that she informs her students about Wolter’s theories as part of her discussions of American history, though without endorsing them per se.

This discussion was rather interesting in that the critic asked the teacher whether she would also “acknowledge” and “explain” Holocaust denial, for which there is just about the same amount of evidence as Wolter’s Templar fantasies. The teacher took grave offense to this, and her reasoning was interesting; she explained that she valued the firsthand testimony of people known to her, the grandparents and great-grandparents of her students and her friends, which is why she believes the Holocaust happened, although she did not witness it herself. By contrast, Wolter’s assertions are about some unknowable time from which there is no firsthand testimony still available from living people, so any argument is possible:
Surely you're not equating Scott's assertions that some, perhaps many people visited/explored North America prior to Columbus is the same as an unapologetic antisemite disavowing the actual experiences of thousands upon thousands of soldiers, camp survivors, and even the testemony (sic) of the perpetrators themselves?
The trouble, of course, is that Wolter’s ideas involve “disavowing the actual experiences” and testimony of virtually everyone who has ever participated in or studied trans-oceanic contact before Columbus, or Jesus conspiracies, except for a handful of modern conspiracy theorists and Victorian racists. But somehow, when the testimony comes from people who are now dead, it is seemingly subject to a different standard of credibility than tales told by those still living, or who were alive within living memory. Coming from a teacher that is quite sad, but worse since it contradicts Wolter’s own message, which is that selective reading of nineteenth century conspiracy literature is a reliable way to interpret the past. Nevertheless, her view and Wolter’s are of a piece: They both place their trust in people known to them and value what friends tell them over the historical record.

Perhaps this tendency to value the personal over larger theoretical frameworks explains why Wolter has a difficult time seeing the connection between his ideas and traditional white supremacist ideology. It’s not unlike the debate that occurred over the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag, commonly called the Confederate battle flag, which South Carolina removed from its statehouse grounds today. Wolter knows that he is not a racist, and his other fringe friends are not racists, so by placing people over ideas, he concludes that there is no racial component to the theoretical framework he has chosen to adopt, even though those Victorian ideas were specifically advocated by people who explicitly explained that they served to promote white Anglo-Saxon Protestants over non-whites, Jews, Catholics, etc.

I can’t help but see a parallel to the supporters of the Confederate battle flag, who believe that they are not themselves racists and the Confederacy’s symbols are a noble marker of heritage, but are blind to the fact that the designer of the second Confederate national flag declared it the “white man’s flag” representing the “supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race,” while the vice president of the Confederacy declared that his country’s “foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man…”

Does anyone know if Scott Wolter is going to have a show on any cable network? I know his blog says that he was filming new episodes, but that means very little. You would think that if he was going to have another show, it would be promoted.

I've noticed the History Channel is running repeats of your last season. I also note that repeats are often a precursor to a new season of shows. Dare I hope we shall be seeing more explorations and investigations in the near future?

Public Educator,

The answer to your question is yes! However, the new season of shows is not called "America Unearthed." It will be airing soon and once I get the green light to say something I will.

I can tell you that it's going to be really good!

His reply doesn't really answer the question. If he does get a show, I, for one, hope that it's a fishing show. The history channel has shows about people in a pawn shop, people who go to yard sales, people cutting down trees, people fixing and buying cards and now one about people making swords. Scott Wolter, with a degree in geology has become an "expert" in fields as diverse as history, archaeology, the reading of runes and ancient population movements. He could travel the country to its many streams, rivers and lakes showing us the correct baits to use. He could be a master baiter.

It's rather silly for Wolter to parade his credentials as a licensed professional geologist to excuse his lack of transparency. Just sorting through the Professional Geologist Model Licensure Law, one has to wonder if Wolter truly comprehends the standards he's bound by (http://asbog.org/documents/Model%20Law%2012-2-05.pdf).

Given how he once represented himself as having an honorary masters degree, how he refuses to acknowledge competent evidence nullifying his published and televised conclusions as a forensic geologist, how he maintains that his degree in geology gives him a superior knowledge base to expound on matters of archeology, linguistics and history, how he defames academics and misrepresents other fields of study outside of his expertise, how he maintains that his KRS findings were peer reviewed, and of course his partnership with fringe historians seeking to profit from their sensationalized and unfounded claims, possible violations of section 31 could include:

"(9) Gross negligence, malpractice, incompetency, misconduct, or repeated incidents of simple negligence in, or related to, the public practice of geology;

(12) Soliciting or accepting work outside of the basis of his qualifications;

(14) Engaging in fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or concealment of material facts in advertising, soliciting, or providing professional services to members of the public;

(18) Engaging in any conduct that discredits or tends to discredit the profession of geology;

(20)Performing any acts, allowing omissions, or making any assertions or representations that are fraudulent, deceitful, or misleading; or that in any manner whatsoever tending to create a misleading impression;

(22) Injuring, or attempting to injure or damage, the professional reputation of another by any means whatsoever; provided and except, however, that this shall not relieve a licensed professional geologist from the obligation to expose unethical or illegal conduct to the proper authorities or preclude frank and confidential appraisals of geologists or other persons or firms considered for employment..."

The quoted statement from Wolter reminds me of the parallels drawn by the ArchyFantasy podcast between pseudoarchaeology and cargo cults... it seems Wolter is using words like "footnote," "citation," "institution," &c. as ritualistic words which cause his actions to be scientific in and of themselves.

Also, it's concerning that he's withholding "evidence" of his beliefs to those who don't meet his contradictory ethical standards.

Finally, it is interesting seeing the obvious conflict between his distrust of those with "an advanced academic degree" and his attempts to look like an academic himself and therefore trustworthy.

Carl,

Now I remember Tom McDonald, and yes that email looks to be the one I wrote at the time. I now know where you are going with your seemingly innocent postings Carl/Rich/or whoever you are. Of the people on that list, Paul Wieblen and G.B. Morey did not submit written reviews of my geological work. They promised to, but we instead discussed the findings personally at the Minnesota Geological Survey and Paul was the only one who didn't completely agree. His objections were philosophical with regard to methodology and he offered nothing specific to refute or contradict my work.

G.B. Morey was very intrigued and thought we had done proper work. He was also in the midst of writing a biography of Newton Winchell as he was impressed with his geological work on the KRS and everything else about the man.

All of the others who reviewed my geological work did so in writing.

Carl,

These written reviews have always been and will continue to be made available to qualified geologists who are seriously interested in looking into the geological research I performed on the KRS beyond what is already published in my written reports and in "Compelling New Evidence." Regardless, the reviews wouldn't be of value to anyone who wasn't a geologist.

The posts on this blog have also convinced me there are too many trolls out there looking for anything they can get a hold of to try and further muddy the already murky waters of this discussion. Until the debunkers are willing to acknowledge and accept hard scientific facts, and conduct a serious KRS discussion with objectivity, there is no reason to take them seriously.

Maybe SW thinks that Ahkam's Razor was actually a razor used for cutting facial hair? 'The impossible cannot be true, but the unlikely can be'.

The 'institution' that might have a credibility ethics test is likely a mental one.

Pen and Teller pretty much summed up this idea. Ha.

But they gave SW a freakin TV show.

Then question he that still isn't answered, is why he is so concerned about Jason? His blog is not going to do all the claims he thinks it will do. It is an opinion blog and not a scientific journal. Neither is SW's show. It is also opinion. What is he so paranpid and afraid of if JC's commenters post about him?

And yes, the stories JC posts are sourced also and he gets them from academic journals and such.

Does JC have a show on History? What is SW so concerned about?

Is SW claiming he will threaten to sue anyone who he thinks has knocked his show?

It's Occam's Razor, and it's not "the impossible cannot be true, but the unlikely can be," it's "the explanation that has the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct." (Not simplest, no matter what some people think. Fewest assumptions.)

I'm not sure it should be described as "mostly likely to be correct" but rather, most reasonable to accept as the possible answer at this time (until new/additional information is obtained). It may not turn out to be correct, but there is no reason to prefer more convoluted answers that require more assumptions.

The teacher's comments reminds me of creationist arguments: "I wasn't there, you weren't there, so how do you know what really happened?"

From a post on Wolter's blog where he talks about Henrik Williams:


Scott WolterJuly 10, 2015 at 1:15 PM
"Dear maniacal anonymous who has been frantically trying to post Henrik Williams’ pre-publication "draft" about the Mustang Mountain runic inscription,

First, this paper has not conclusively proven anything except in the mind of Professor Williams. Further, I find it interesting that debunkers like you fail to give scientists like me even the slightest respect or benefit of the doubt, yet do not hold Williams to the same standard. Oh that's right; debunkers standard operating procedure is a double standard.

Second, this 'prized scholar' has written yet another paper that is nothing more than "Wolter bashing" as was coined by a Runestone Museum board members who repeatedly dealt with Williams over a period of years after reading his recent papers. He just can't help himself can he, and what does this say about him?

Third, I cannot legally post this paper because the apparently clueless Williams has implicated a person who has broken the law by desecrating a highly sacred Native American site by moving multiple tons of material and carving the inscription. While the individual who supposedly committed the crime is not named, a person who does know the person is named. It won't be difficult to locate the person if law enforcement choses to do so. That is, if the inscription is indeed modern.

Fourth, in his haste to attack me and my show, Williams fails to acknowledge, again assuming he is correct, that my science correctly concluded the inscription did not exhibit any weathering which would be consistent with Williams findings. You will of course give me credit won’t you?

Fifth, Mike Carr did not translate the inscription. I was told by the production company that a runologist was contacted who translated the inscription, but they refused tell me who the person was even after I asked. I thought it might have been Henrik.

Sixth, due to the unfortunate personal relationship Professor Williams appears to have with me, his work regarding anything connected to me is suspect (for the record, I have no grudge against Williams and welcome the opportunity to get him involved in future shows should he decide to put his personal issues aside). One would like to think he is above this kind of personal pique, but sadly this is not the case and therefore his work cannot be trusted. Sorry Henrik; show me the evidence I can trust you and then we can move forward.

Finally, if Williams is correct then I will be the first to congratulate him. In fact, to prove the inscription was indeed modern would answer a lot of questions for me and further demonstrate that my relative-age dating studies consistently work very well. Further, I accept responsibility for the conclusions reached on the program. If this episode reached the wrong conclusion then I apologize, but I’m not convinced by the circular investigation logic presented here by Williams. I will wait until an independent and unbiased third party reviews his work before accepting the conclusions, or is the professor above peer review?

BTW; don't bother contacting Williams because I will copy this post and send it to him. Unlike you, I don't have to hide in the shadows and throw darts at people I have issues with."


Jason, have you ever been in contact with Henrik Williams? And if so has he disclosed anything about Wolter's being in contact with him since their professional relationship ended? From what I have read in Darwin Ohman's "Take a Stand" document and in William's documents on Richard Neilson's site, it doesn't sound like he would be the type of person to ever want contact with Scott whatsoever. Ohman's document was especially revealing since he failed to realize that Williams clearly knew something about Scott that he didn't bother to know about.

I think not.

Jason does not do critical thinking, “Brian.” He follows the following process - “The answer is NO, what is the question?”

Brian, you give yourself away when you type such weak-minded phrases like, “…love the way you write…”

So you like the way Colavito strings sentences together? How very subjective of you. I am quite sure that, because I am coming out against your hero Jason, you don’t “love the way” I write. Is it my sentence structure, Brian? I doubt it.

Jason does no actual field research - EVER.

His research tool is a sweaty keyboard and Google. And when he runs into a problem like the fact that SW won’t share his research with an angry blogger, well that’s a huge issue.

By the way Brian, “love what you're doing. Keep it up man.”

It’s all about the love.

Peace out, Brian.

Jason’s reply, “…if only it paid as well as the History Channel.”

It doesn’t, Jason.

So perhaps you should consider deleting this entire blog and finding something else to do for a living that contributes to humanity instead of your arrogant assumption that you can fix humanity.

Hi Scott,

I'm a big fan of yours and have been a defender of yours since your show began. However on a lot of forums where I have been defending you, various people have kept repeating that both you and your former colleague Richard Neilson were speakers at an event in 2002 called the "Third International Conference on Authentic History and the First Amendment." I didn't see what the big deal was, but I was horrified when they claimed that it was an event supported by Holocaust deniers and found it to be extremely slanderous. I just wanted you to verify the truth of the situation and put these allegations to rest.

Mindy,

Dick Nielsen and were invited to speak twice on the same day in Washington D.C. The first was at a conference, but don't recall what the event was called and don't know if there were any Holocaust deniers there or not. I saw and heard nothing that led me to even think about that. I certainly would not have attended had I known that might have been the case. After our lectures where I spoke only about my geological work on the KRS, we then walked down the street to the Smithsonian Institution and gave a more in-depth presentation about my geological work on the KRS to a select group of scholars.

The reality is the debunkers and deniers who are threatened by my research on the Kensington Rune Stone and other artifacts that support a radically different story about pre-Columbian history on this continent will stop at nothing to try and discredit me. They have already tried to attack my credentials and my character by calling me a racist, and now apparently, a supporter of Holocaust deniers. It's sad and its sick how these people will stop at nothing to try and attack anyone who threatens their distorted historical paradigm. They can't support their 'beliefs' with facts so they hide in the shadows and resort to personal attacks.

I have nothing to hide about my reputation, my credentials, or my research. When all this peripheral nonsense goes away, I look forward to a serious discussion about the facts and let's see where the truth really lies.

I am not a theology teacher or any kind of secret scientist posting under some elaborate disguise.

SW should just come clean. For crying out loud. This business with hooked exes and runes, and making it sound like white men were there before the native Americans is all ridiculous.

Even when faced with a museum that studies runes, he apparently doesn't like it when they report the freaking rocks are fakes.

Like the Berkeley walls, the rocks are more modern than he thinks. Unlike them, they're even more modern. The Kensington stone is absolutely fake. There is evidence it's fake, from the people that made it! Oh, but it's a conspiracy.

There is no absence of evidence. It is there. He just refuses to believe the descendants tell him him, no, it's a tourist attraction, and modern.

But if American Unearthed does not return, where will we have a place to rip on his bizarre theories?

Maybe Jason should tackle those new 'Legends and Lies' of the old west shows.

SW, if you're reading this, and you likely are, we are not after you, do not care, and do not want to discredit you, but you will be outed by your own.
