Loose Change is a sharp, slick film with an authoritative voiceover, but it drowns the truth in an ocean of nonsense
There is a virus sweeping the world. It infects opponents of the Bush government, sucks their brains out through their eyes and turns them into gibbering idiots. First cultivated in a laboratory in the US, the strain reached these shores a few months ago. In the past fortnight, it has become an epidemic. Scarcely a day now passes without someone possessed by this sickness, eyes rolling, lips flecked with foam, trying to infect me.
The disease is called Loose Change. It is a film made by three young men that airs most of the standard conspiracy theories about the attacks of September 11 2001. Unlike the other 9/11 conspiracy films, Loose Change is sharp and swift, with a thumping soundtrack, slick graphics and a calm and authoritative voiceover. Its makers claim that it has now been watched by 100 million people.
The Pentagon, the film maintains, was not hit by a commercial airliner. There was "no discernible trace" of a plane found in the wreckage, and the entrance and exit holes in the building were far too small. It was hit by a cruise missile. The twin towers were brought down by means of "a carefully planned controlled demolition". You can see the small puffs of smoke caused by explosives just below the cascading sections. All other hypotheses are implausible: the fire was not hot enough to melt steel and the towers fell too quickly. Building 7 was destroyed by the same means a few hours later.
Flight 93 did not crash, but was redirected to Cleveland airport, where the passengers were taken into a Nasa building and never seen again. Their voices had been cloned by the Los...

Such films are not to be taken seriously. The only people who will see it are those who already believe such drivel. I'n content to ignore it.
....need proof the twin towers were hit by terrorists? Okay - the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was by middle eastern terrorists (not the Bush administration), if that's not enough one of the little black boxes featured prayers to Allah in Arabic in it's last few minutes, if that's not enough I call your attention to all the parties thrown in the middle east as the towers burned, if that's not enough I call your attention to all the people who received cell phone calls from loved ones aboard the planes, if that's not enough I call your attention to the notebooks left behind by the bombers saying they were going to do it, if that's not enough I call your attention to al Quada who claims to have done it, if that's not enough - do I need to go on?
Who?
Who could be stupid enough to believe this nonsense?
Danny Bonaduce gives these wacko's a piece of his mind. Bravo!

Just about ANYONE from Hollywood.
There were tremendous glaring errors in logic and countless distortions misrepresented as 'fact'. The film has been re-edited several times in an attempt to patch up holes that skeptics have been punching in it. When they make an unanswered question in the film about some related event, they quickly shuffle off somewhere else like a shyster trial lawyer asking rapid-fire questions as if to frame a series of suspicious occurrences that can only lead to... cOnSPiRacY!
I am disappointed that so many people can be so impossibly stupid as to believe it. I regret not practicing to be a con-man. I'd be astoundingly rich nowadays. Maybe it's not to late to start, actually...
... Say, did I even mention that I am Prince Umbwebwe of Nigeria? If you send me a cashier's check for $10,000, I will send you $1,000,000 when my father the king dies and I inherit all of his wealth.
I'm glad I read the entire article. The last paragraph is a hoot.
It is interesting that seemingly fully rational people will have no problem poking holes into the veracity of the 9/11 conspiracy yet be full partakers in Flt. 800. The only real difference being an (R) and a (D).
Moonbats... Species of nocturnal rodent that feeds on brain tissue. Closely related to the vampire bat, the Moonbat has two rubber fangs that insert themselves through their victim's ears.
Once bitten by a Moonbat, their victims rapidly transform into one of these brain sucking monsters of legend, passing on whatever disease that creates such mindless zombies.
Moonbats can be found living in and around most human populations, but surveys and studies have found that higher concentrations exist in highly populated areas with poor educational systems, and especially among the newly wealthy, and Hollywood stars.
Biologists believe the Moonbat originated in Central Europe, and has since taken advantage of modern transportation methods to spread to all other continents.
Variations of the Moonbat species exist. The most feared of the variations is the Middle Eastern Bomb Bat. This variety of Moonbat may actually predate the modern day Moonbat, although theologists are unsure whether or not the two variations are independently evolved or descended from the same ancestral rodent.
One of my favorite variations of the Moonbat is the Sham Bat. This fraudster sub-species is responsible for many of our favorite popular modern day myths, such as Global Warming and Tin Foil Caps as a defense against mind control. The Sham Bats are notorious hustlers, always looking for an angle to get more money out of the public coffers.
But one thing seems to be held in common by all varieties of Moonbat, and that is that it never seems to matter how many brains they consume, they're insatiable, and can never have enough.
So even CNN and people with home movie cameras filming 747's flying into the buildings were doctored.
Anyone who believes this documentary should be thrown into a 5000 foot wood chipper to make Soylent Green, on to the conveyer belt with you nut-bag.
There. I fixed it.
And if that's not enough - the same people who say Bush was capable of pulling all this massive deception - using missiles disguised as airplanes and hiding entire flight crews and passengers and making airplanes disapear off of radar screens -
Wonder why Bush didn't plant WMDs inside Iraq to bolster his justification? He can do anything. Why didn't he do this?
When I have more patience I will read more of the comments, I'm continually amazed at how stupid humans can be.
The perception that has been perpetuated forever that the left is "intelligent" and right wingers are troglodytes just makes me shake my head.
Orwell had it half right he didn't go far ENOUGH, modern society is a psuedo-intellectual slugfest of deconstructionist english language, navel gazing and how you feel about an issue is just as relevant as science or provable fact. The "winner" is the person that can write or speak in a language that goes nowhere, makes no points, cites no facts and sprinkles in fancy words that neither the "orator" or the audience understand while delivering it in a "charasmatic" fashion. The master of saying nothing and having it called genius was Mario Cuomo, a direct insult to any true intellect and a hero of the psuedo-intellects.
Double speak doesn't explain the half of it, the emperor has no clothes and is getting "nakeder" all the time, and more and more people believe he is a fashion icon.
Beam me up Scotty.
How is this different from their present state?
The difference with Flight 800 is that those who disbelieve are not all people who believe in the bizarre counter theories. Some of those who doubt -- simply doubt.
Interesting logic.
Because he's a drooling idiot who can't even tie his own shoes without Dick Cheney right next to him to show him how. That's what the same people who claim he masterminded the 9/11 attacks say, so it must be true!
