Last night I watched Loose Change 2. I know there has been considerable discussion in this forum already on the validity of the 9-11 attacks, but this thing was so convincing. Is there something I'm missing, or does the flat-out evidence in this documentary not prove beyond a doubt to any logical, reasonable person that 9-11 was in fact a 'psychological attack on the American people' by it's own government? And that to achieve this Bush etc were prepared to kill hundreds of it's own people in front of the world. From what I can see the only reason any intelligent person would not believe that is the case after watching that doco is simply in denial, which is understandable, as it is in fact almost impossible to fathom.
I'm not from the U.S. Amongst educated people what is the consensus about this topic over there? I feel like I must be missing something, because that doco was SOLID and I would have thought with this kind of evidence available to U.S. citizens there might be some kind of upheaval. -
1 thing to make u think that made me think,
My father is an engineer and retired fighter pilot, he knows about jet fuel, he told me that if a 747 was to hit the wall of the pentegon with a full load of fuel at top speed, there would be little of the plane left if any. I would believe my dad b4 some guy that made a documentary/propaganda film. \
eont beilve everything u see on the internet -
I remember Best page in the universe (the guy who makes fun of kids art) he brought up some good points about this. Most important being: If our government actually did kill everyone on 9/11, plan the whole attacks and everything, do you really think they couldn't kill a single guy and take his video off the net 5 mins after her puts it up?
-
Stevester, if the one man youre referring to is Osama did you stop to think maybe they dont really want to capture him? Did you stop to think to yourself that the bush's and the bin laden's are in on this together to get the american ppl to go along with the war against Iraq and take over the oil? Did you know that George H. Bush is good friends with Osama's family and makes billions of dollars from them? That being said i would not put it past our fucked up government to do something like that.

If you read my post again i never said anything about them financing his terrorism! But since you brought it up i think it is retarded to believe they would not finance his terrorism and since they already lied about "disowning" him what makes you think they arent?
-
Main problem I'm having now is dealing with the fact that I now believe that this happened.

Why, of course, the people dont want war, Goering shrugged. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people dont want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
There is one difference, I pointed out. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.
Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country. -
In the movie 'Jaws' did you think the shark was real in some scenes? Its called a movie, they can make anything convincing. Just piece together a bunch of footage, apply some flash animations, and voila, you have a new conspiracy movie for the 18-25 crowd to latch on to.
-
Jaws was a documentary?
-
A definition I looked up for documentary gave me this
<span><span><span>Movies</span></span>, <span><span>Television</span></span>. </span>basedon or re-creating an actual event, era, life story, etc., that purportsto be factually accurate and contains no fictional elements: <span>a documentary life of Gandhi.
Now how can movies like Loose Change and the M. Moore films be called a documentary when they are theories containing a ridiculous amount of bias and have not been accepted as factually accurate except by the people who made them?

did you know that bush sr. grandfather was a supporter of hitler?

There are some other websites that disprove loose change and other conspiracy theories, but this one is the most complete that I have seen. I'm pretty liberal and don't agree with the current administration on most things, but I just don't understand how anyone can think this was a possible scenario. I would say that most if not all politicians are decent people who want to do good. I'm sure they're all power hungry and egotistical as well, but if they were just greedy pricks they would go into business and make a shitload more money. So to think that several/dozens of this nations highest ranking officials sat around and devised this plan is retarded. And I am all for conspiracies, love them, this just isn't one. -
Is this diff than Loose Change? I mean, is it an updated or diff version of conspiracies?
-
Overcast:
They use quotes out of context, just totally fabricate other quotes, make up facts, etc. Loose change started as a fictional film made by 3 kids making a movie about how our govt was behind 9/11. They said that the more they looked into it the more they thought it might not be so far fetched. So, why isn't it possible that they just filled in holes in their findings with "facts" that they concocted out of mid air?
Do yourself a favor and read these articles before you take what they say as fact:

The problem is finding the middle ground of truth... nothing you hear is ever pure truth, whether it's from the government or from some nutjob theorist (actually, those are the 2 groups of people I'm least apt to believe).

So this isn't about a sequel to the bank robbery movie with Bill Murray, Geena Davis and Randy Quaid? OMG so rigged! I actually got excited for a moment.

"I'm sure they're all power hungry and egotistical as well, but if they were just greedy pricks they would go into business and make a shitload more money."
Ever heard of Halliburton?? -
Its willfully ignorant to turn a blind eye to the profiteering of the military industrial complex. Staged or not 911 certainly provided them with a perfect excuse to invade the countries they already had decided to invade and make a ton of profits in the process. That is the only motive i can really see coming from this "neverending war on a nameless nationless enemy" Think about the implications of this and who stands to gain from such a society. Follow the money. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and it will get worse before it gets "better" .... by design.
The governments biggest threat to existence is and always has been throughout history its own populace.
Power will always be used to maintain its power.
Who stands to gain from this "war"
Hitler burned his own capital building and blamed the communists as a way of seizing facist dictatorship. Bushes grandfather was intimately related to several companies seized as Nazi assets during WW2. History repeats itself.
You believe that for nearly 30 mins AFTER the planes attacked that they would let our president sit in a public classroom reading goat stories if they thought he was in danger? -
"ever heard of Haliburton?"
I don't know what you mean by that. Yes I know Dick Cheney was CEO or president of that, but I don't see what your point is.
Questioning things told to you is good, but the level of mistrust you guys seem to have borders on paranoia. In order to believe that the government orchestrated 9/11 you would have to believe that our nation is being run by truly evil people. These people who have worked much of their lives to getting into high autority positions are doing that so they can get there and really fuck some shit up? For something this large there would have to be many people in on it. All these people (this would have to be 100's from FBI, military, the white house) would then have to had stayed quiet for the past 5 years. And finally this massive conspiracy gets uncovered by 3 college students sitting around playing magic. This isn't an episode of 24. -
My point is he still has ALOT of stock in the company! Which is why his company was the first american company to get a gov. contract in Iraq! Do you not think he made massive amounts of money from this? Also, lets say youre one of the "100's" of ppl that know about this, would it really be that hard to not say anything if you KNOW these ppl are fucked up enough to let these ppl fly planes into our building and will more than likely kill you and your family if you try to say anything and take everything from them?? Hmmmmmmm, i dont think so! On top of that i dont think it would even take that many to get something like this done, especially since the Bush's are friends and have ties to the Bin Ladens!
-
so its all about money, huh? Bush and Cheney are not happy with the millions and millions and millions of dollars they already have? What would they do with more money? So they are inherently bad people whose only goal in life is to accumulate as much wealth as possible regardless of what it takes? Think about it... When you have virtually unlimited money in the first place, what good would it do to orchestrate the biggest coverup in history with so much at risk? What's infinity plus infinity?
-
Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.
And to beat the american ppl into submission.
I just want to say that in no way am i saying i believe this is what happened.But, like i said in previous post i would not put it past our gov. -
jas, that does not prove that the conspiracy is not true! His theory about the guy not being alive if it was true is flawed. You dont think it would send a red flag to the american public if the main guy behind this big consiracy theory just came up missing after voicing his opinion on the matter?
