I think everyone should watch a film called Loose Change about the disasterous falling of the twin towers on 11th September 2001 and the events leading up to it. This film has stirred up a lot of controversy and if all the evidence is 100% true then the American government are looking in the wrong place for their 'terrorists'. They should take a look within.

Over 10 million have downloaded it for free already and it has helped gather momentum for calls for an independant investigation of the events surrounding this day.

Download it for free from this website, i think everyone should see this.

Loose Change 2nd edition

I was likely to agree that the voice is terrible - should have warned - but on the other hand this is a scientific video. It was produced to show architects and engineers what actually happened and why the structure collapsed.



With the second tower it's more obvious, as the plane crashed at one side of the building. The first tower got hit right in the centre and further up.



This is not so much a video to push sensational buttons, but even without all the (real life) details, one can for a moment imagine, what happened and how horrific the impact must have been.



[btw - it's a pretty recent video and this is the only 9/11 thread I could find. I had no intention to open another one]

I've found that most of the conspiracy theorists point at either erroneous inconsistencies (i.e. not real inconsistencies) and irrelevant factoids. Sometimes they resort to flat-out lies.

Now, I will definately agree that Bush used these attacks to his own advantage and that much of the post-9/11 legal aftermath certainly smacks of a government using a catastrophe to institute a police state.

While I find the actions of the Bush administration to be beyond disgusting (if I were the next President, my inauguration address would be to read off a list of criminal charges against Bush and have him arrested then and there, but I won't be the next President), I do not think that Bush could have planned something this grandiose without SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE blowing a whistle.

Millions of people watched one United Airlines and one American Airlines 767 each hit the towers. There are (contrary to the claims of conspiracy theorists) thousands of eyewitnesses to an AA 757 flying low over the Patomac just before the impact.

But I do wonder if the Bush administration couldn't have prevented it if they wanted to.

I am very likely to agree with you, Doc. I happened to watch the second impact "life" on CNN and do not believe in the US government to have set this up.

Yes, the small explosion visible, just before the second plane hits the tower is strange, hence I do not think that US intelligence planned this - at least not directly.

But what I do believe - what is my personal summary from the events, evidence and what turned out to happen afterwards, also taking that movie 9/11 by Mr. Moore into account - is that there is a great likelihood the Bush administration had certain knowledge, much as the Roosevelt administration about Pearl Harbour.

I am likely to link these two events, because they were used to take the American people to war. Which - without these events - would not have been possible. There are a lot of people who gained immense opportunity and profit from war(s) like this - and lives (to them) are just numbers and disposable.

Is it true that even if Bush would have committed a crime while in office, he could not legally be charged?

The only thing that he will never be able to experience in the rest of his life (I guess) is "peace" (of mind)... Or I will regard him as world champion in repression.

Guess the furthest I would go into "conspiracy theory" here, would be that the CIA was (partly) funding "terrorist cells" and someone somewhere turned a blind eye to all the incoming evidence... which is - I guess - what you are saying.

May they rest in peace.

I saw the conspiracy film Martial Law by Alex Jones a few months ago, and I gotta say right now-- it's melodramatic, rumormongering blowhards like that [censored] that make the truth damn near impossible to ever find, much less convince anybody of. He's in it for the attention, to stir people up for the sheer fun of kicking anthills-- he throws any credibility he might have had right out the window every chance he gets. I haven't seen Loose Change, but I get the distinct impression most of the other conspiracy films are similar-- a bunch of reactionary BS piled together by people who have very little concept of actual physics, who are more interested in collecting whatever supports their ideas than actually putting together anything consistent and provable. Half of it is manipulative hearsay.

And that really, really pisses me off. Because something IS fishy about the whole situation, on so very many levels.

But you know what? In the end I'm not even sure it matters how it really happened, not that we'll ever know. The administration has certainly USED the whole damn mess for their advantage, now haven't they?? That, right out in the open, in our faces every single day, is probably the single most evil aspect of the whole situation. About as many people in our military have died in Iraq as died in those towers, and they used this to justify it. Not to mention the casualties among the cleanup crews, which are still going up, and being totally ignored. Not to mention the casualties in Afghanistan. ....And whatever casualties are going to follow from the resentment we're kicking up all over the planet.

If Bush and his buddies didn't come up with 9-11, I bet they wish they did. They get to use the constitution as toilet paper, reduce the American people to quivering jello, and rake in more money than ever before. We don't have to fold dollar bills, consult magic 8-balls, or stand on our heads to see that much.

There was definitely no obvious plane wreckage at the pentagon.




Go back and read the Popular Mechanics site. There's a photo of a chunk of fuselage with CLEAR American Airlines livery markings on it.

Actually, after reading the PM site, I have revised my opinion of the conspiracy theorists:

They're worse than "revisionists," and "uninterested in the truth."

They're LIARS, flat-out. And there are few things in this world that I loathe more than a liar.

"Both" sides? There are two?



I count three at the very least.



1) The Bush Administration who would like to lie to us and say that it was caused by WMD's and terrorists in Iraq and that if we just give up all our civil rights and let King/Emperor/Messiah Bush do whatever he pleases we'll be a) more American and b) safer.



2) The Conspiracy theorists who simply want to call attention to themselves and make noise. Actually, I have a feeling that half of them don't even know what their motivations are.



3) Those of us who are interested in the truth, in making sure that it doesn't happen again, and in finding and bringing those responsible to justice.





*EDIT*



4) Those who have bigger fish to fry because they are wrongly imprisoned for being Arab, or because they are living in Darfur/Baghdad/etc. and are fearing for their own lives and thus could care less about 9/11.

ummm I count one more:

5) Those who don't give a damn, are not interested in what #3 and #4 call "the truth" as long as fried fish lay on their tables today.

Unfortunately I reckon that these are the majority.

Talk about conspiracy theories, has anyone seen Zeigeist?

As a skeptic, I’m even half convinced 911 was a CIA set up.

Watch the movie, the truth is out there.

sometimes the gulibility of people actualy scares has no one every concidered what these conpiracy theorys actualy imply? can you imagin the meeting that would have to take place?


Government: We want to cause a tragedy so great the American people will blindly follow us into war... What do you think gentlemen...

Accomplice #1: Well, the Towers are a perfect choice.. It's been bombed before. We can just blame Osama again. We've been priming the American people by having him blow up our warships and our buildings in other countries.

Government: Yeah, good idea! How will we do that?

Accomplice #1: We can hire Osama to get some of his friends to fly planes into it!

Accomplice #2: Wait... I have a better idea, We can BOMB the buildings!

Accomplice #1: Well, that means placing enough bombs into two 110 story buildings. That's going to take a lot of man power and risk us being uncovered...

Accomplice #2: Yeah, but that way, you’re sure to knock them down. Besides, maybe the hijackers won’t make it to the target. Maybe they'll be uncovered!

Accomplice #1: But you don't need to knock them down, all you need is the horrific sight of the planes hitting the buildings. People will get the message. It's an attack on American soil. We'll also have people like the blind sheik to cover for us. We'll even put a guy on a train with evidence.

Your plan isn't perfect either, you know. Do I have to remind you of Operation Towel Pop? We already tried to embarrass Clinton by knocking it down and failed.

Accomplice #2: Yeah, our Bay of Pigs, but I say the only way they can get the message is if we knock them down.

Accomplice #1: Do not

Accomplice #2: Do too

Accomplice #1: Do not

Accomplice #2: Do too

Accomplice #1: Do not

Accomplice #2: Do too

Government: Gentlemen, gentlemen... Please... What the hell, we'll just do both! :blink: How do we do that? I mean, how do you keep explosions from showing up on TV? We're going to have to investigate this at some point. How do we cover up the scene?

Accomplice #2: But why not just knock it dow...

Government: I've made my decision. Continue...

Accomplice #2: OK.. We install charges on every floor so that after the planes hit, we blow each floor under the crash floor one by one, very fast to simulate pancaking. We'll let the building burn a while just for effect. This will also give time for the trusses to sag making it LOOK like a fire caused the building to fall.

Accomplice #1: Nice touch...

Accomplice #2: Why, thank you. smile ...We'll set a charge off in the middle of the building AFTER the top is on its way down so everyone thinks the puffs of debris coming from the windows are from the tremendous hypodermic needle like pressure blowing debris from the weakest point in the building.

Government: What about the sound of explosions? Isn't that a dead giveaway?

Accomplice #2: No problem, We'll just let them think it's normal electrical explosions like transformers blowing up or the initial concrete and steel and floors hitting the floors below.

Accomplice #1: Yeah, it could also be the steel columns snapping like twigs from the tremendous weight of the floors above... Don't worry, we have disinformation specialists in key internet forums.

Government: WOW, You guys think of everything.. What about Building 7? Can we take that out at the same time?

Accomplice #1: We won’t be able to fly planes into it, that's for sure...

Accomplice #2: Leave it to me. If we set off the explosions just right, we can have one of the towers hit Building 7, missing the two next to it. After that, we can set fires on the bottom floors and let it burn for a while, you know, to make it look possible for a normal collapse. I'll call my agent in the fire department to get everyone out before we blow it. I'll figure a way to make the floors look buckled for effect as well.

Government: Amazing ... I also want to take out the Pentagon. Any suggestions?

Accomplice #1: What we'll do is hijack a plane just for effect, then fire a missile at the Pentagon. A bunker buster.

Government: But what about the people on the plane?

Accomplice #1: We'll land the plane in area 51, then shoot them all.

Government: Why not use the plane instead of the missile? That way, you take care of all the evidence at the same time... People on the highway can also see the planes hit. If you use a missile, there's going to be a lot of witnesses who saw a missile and not a plane.

Accomplice #1: Err... ah, don't worry about these small details. I have an undercover op in the DC police department who will take the names down and shot them all.

Government: How are you going to get all the people involved in this? Bush isn't exactly loved you know..

Accomplice #1: Don't worry, psych-ops will take care of the brainwashing of the American people. As for the media, we control the left and the right!

Government: GREAT! Nice work all! Let’s make the target date Sept 11, 2001.

before anyone gives me to much credit i didn't come up with that little script its from another site smile



and yer that sites awsome i never realise that loose change was originaly created as fiction only to be later rebranded as a factual documentory.



however that does make sence of many of the inconsitancys in loose change the most odvious been that there was no aircraft wreckage around the pentigon. I'ed always wondered how they could have posably missed all the wreckage. given i had a hard time finding a photo without wreckage in it.

i think it was rahter strange when videos appeared on youtube and other such website that they were so quickly removed??? This could either mean that the goverment wanted them removed for being scared that it was too close to the truth, the owners were scared they would dissapear like so many others do every year or, they were comcpleate codswolap

What to do in case of fire??? LET IT BURN!
