It’s true. Honest. Real conspiracy theorists can be very strange people and generally I keep my distance. They often have single track, obsessive minds. A bit like Jehovah’s Witnesses – they have an answer ready for just about any question on their pet conspiracy.
For example, do I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald shot John Kennedy? Yes. See? OK- I admit it – I don’t think he acted alone but that doesn’t mean I believe in the armful of conspiracy theories that have evolved since. Do I believe that aliens crash landed near Roswell? Absolutely not. But they’re out there somewhere!
I prefer to think of myself as balanced. Until, perhaps, today.
Today I watched a video made by Dylan Avery and Korey Rowe called 911 – Loose Change (Google Video link). And I have joined their conspiracy theory, as shocking and as unbelievable as it is. Admittedly, the theory isn’t new; within days of September 11th 2001 there were people claiming that it was self-inflicted. Muslims and Osama Bin Laden himself made the claim. But such ideas were too obscene to think about when the bodies were still buried under tons of twisted girders and shattered masonry.
Even today I would not really think such a thing possible. But what Avery and Rowe have done is not so much present a conspiracy as document a wide and worrying number of questions that have not been answered. And many of these questions are bloody good and extremely pertinent.
If anyone has any doubts that somehow Dick Cheney and his ‘New World Order‘ gang were not mixed up in 9/11 then I urge you to spend an enlightening hour and twenty minutes watching this film. And if you know – really know – any of the answers, then I’d very much like to hear them.
Also worth a visit is the Loose Change web site.
I saw the plane that went on to crash into the Pentagon. It wass not a missle (Meyersson), it wasn’t ‘radio controlled’, there is no ‘New World Order Gang’ except is the fevered minds of people who need an emotional shield, including most Britons who seen thoroughly indoctrinated about how things always seem to improbably and impossibly only travel one way.
I travel to W. Eur. 6 times a year for work, and even the phrases are identical from person
to perons, time to time, visit to visit. It only flows one way: blah blah blah THE AMERICANS,
blah blah blah EVIL GEORGE BUSH.
It’s utterly irrational. It registers NIL on the impiricism scale.
Hi again Joe
Apart from the fact that I believe you regarding the plane that hit the Pentagon then I don’t feel the need to make any comment on this. Say something constructive and I would feel differently. I rather think that even the Republican right-wing controlled media is starting to bail on Bush.
Were you by any chance one of those rabid folk who could no longer stand the term ‘French Fries’?
This conspiracy theory is too horrible to even entertain. I’ll watch the video tonight…
@mdx: Be interested to hear your thoughts after…
You might want to check out the films “911 Mysteries” and “TerrorStorm.” These can both be viewed at Video.Google.com or YouTube.com along with “Loose Change.” “911 Mysteries” debunks the official 911 fairytale and “TerrorStorm” covers the history of state-sponsored terror.
I’ll try and look them up – thanks
