Jim Hoffman is a
conspiracy theorist from

[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."

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.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (
NIST ) report on the building collapses,
[9] a critique of the 2006 NIST FAQ,
[10] and critiques
