Taking Requests

If anyone has a topic, whether socially or politically, that they want me to research and write about, let me know. Also, if you want to write an "opinion column" about something, I'll post it on the site and rip it to pieces if I can. I realize that probably no one is going to reply but it is worth a shot. It seems like a good way to get material.

Thanks,

Dr. AwkwArD

Here is something that a friend sent to me, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7772696530684663669&q=Loose+Change+2nd+Edition , I watched the video. Its about an hour and twenty minutes in length and adresses the thought that the attacks on 9/11 were infact a brilliantly planned scheme of events used to make money. It was a pretty decent film and had alot of well developed and researched thoughts, but there were a few thoughts that were convieniently unadressed or in my opinion completely wrong, such as the thought that phone calls from flight 93 and other flights were made using cell phones and were prerecorded, anyway if you have time watch the video. Even if you dont agree I thought that it brought up some good points and it kept my attention for an hour and some change.

+Edition , I watched the video. It’s about an hour and twenty minutes in length and addresses the thought that the attacks on 9/11 were in fact a brilliantly planned scheme of events used to make money. It was a pretty decent film and had a lot of well developed and researched thoughts, but there were a few thoughts that were conveniently unaddressed or in my opinion completely wrong, such as the thought that phone calls from flight 93 and other flights were made using cell phones and were prerecorded, anyway if you have time watch the video. Even if you don’t agree I thought that it brought up some good points and it kept my attention for an hour and some change.

For an hour and some Loose Change. HAHAhahaha.....no, that was just stupid. Anyways, I'll take a look at it and see what I can see. I have a couple exams tomorrow so it might be a few days before I can comment on it. However, what specifically did you think was interesting or valid.

Also, I welcome everyone's thoughts on this topic as I am an avid X-files watcher and this shit is right up my alley.

"dave" I hope you wake up from your fantasy world. It's a sad day when people can believe something that makes no sense, and has no evidence. But then again it is Bush's fault, and he probably made Katrina hit New Orleans, etc etc. You know for a stupid president he consitently outshines the majority of the Democratic Party.

And "dave" you probably shouldn't take a movie from video.google.com very seriously. And the documents in that video were already "UNCLASSIFIED" they are public knowledge. It's not like the movie uncovered some great cover up of the 9/11 attacks. Just keep telling yourself it's Bush's fault!!!!

Valid, libsarestupidpsu, very valid. This film uses a very common technique to convey its ideas. It tells you a bunch of things and never makes any conclusions. You go into this film thinking they are going to tell you all of their theories and they all come up short of an explanation.

Some things from the film:

"Further, the process of revolution..."(3:53) This idea, that is stated in this "manifesto", is not a new one. And the fact that they don't give this quote in context should raise some alarms too.

"included in the lease is a 3.5 billion...."(5:21) Should this surprise anyone? The WTC was ALREADY BOMBED ONCE!!!!! I can't believe this even made it into this movie.

Around (10:00) they begin to show some buildings implode. This is a very good tactic, one they use throughout this video. Show images of what you want people to look for, and they will see i in what you are showing them. The WTC "exploded" when it fell, the debris from the entry points as you can clearly see in the video, fly outward as if the building just started to crunch under itself without being properly damaged like in an implosion.

"The speed, the maneuverability..."(15:20) You have to wonder if these men are saying that because of the way the plane was acting. Since no further info is given, we just don't know. Clever.

The Lightpoles (15:34) Last time I checked, a private jet is much smaller and fragile than a huge jetliner, like the one that was "flown" into the pentagon. (I use quotes because even I am unsure of that. I know, I have my tinfoil hat too)(Their "evidence" on the Pentagon crash is about the only thing, so far as I can see, that sparks my curiosity. The events of that day and the subsequent damage are just too mysterious for me to take the explanation of our government as truth)

Where the Pentagon was hit (30:04). Their evidence for why the Pentago was hit where it was is lacking in any credibility. If the Pentagon was hit from "Donald Rumsfield's" side, it would have had to fly over D.C., so why not just rip it right into the White House. Simply, the plane hit where it did because it was coming that way.

I've only watched up to (32:00). I have some stuff to do but hopefully I will have time to watch the rest.

libsarestupidpsu, did you watch the film? If so, what are your thoughts on the FILM, not on our friend Dave here.

Thanks again for the comment, and thanks Dave for the material!

I watched about 5 min of the film. So to be honest I didn't watch all of it, but any moron can see this was a pathetic attempt at a conspiracy theory. And like drawkward pointed out the WTC have been a target of terrorits for many years!!! That's about all I have to say.

well libsarestupidpsu, like i said when i posted there are alot of things that i myself dont agree with, i made the post for people to take a look at, i didnt say it was right or wrong, maybe if you would have taken the time to read the origional post you would have figured that out, i fully agree with you that its full intention was a conspiracy theory. i just wanted to start conversation.
