"Loose Change"- 9/11 Video

[tclowers23]

Has anyone seen this video? Someone told me to Google it, so I did. I watched a few minutes but had to stop. The things this video is implying is just too much for me. It's basically saying that the U.S. government had a hand in planning the 9/11 attacks. Maybe this thread belongs in "politics", I don't know.

Does anyone have any info about this video, or has anyone seen it? What are your thoughts?

sounds like more conspiracy moonbattery to me. and what is it with the obsession with "the Bush administration did it" anyway? does all the venom have it's roots in the 2000 election? if Al Gore had won and 9-11 still happened would the paranoid still claim conspiracy?

Wow, nothing like starting the actual crux of the film with a 'poignant' interview between a man of Indian or Arab descent and Hunter S. Thompson. I guess I will try to watch the rest of the film without thinking that each of these speakers has some alternate agenda or axe to grind...

Ridiculous!

Yeah, I see what you mean. Let me know what you think of the rest, therealUT. I haven't seen the whole thing, and I don't know if I want to. Some of the things they show and say made me question, and I don't like what it was causing me to question.

I am watching this video at work, so I am only taking in about 10-15 minutes at a time. However, the narrator states:

A number of military personnel at the Pentagon, specifically mentioned smelling cordite.

Then he uses the following quotes:

Even before stepping outside I could smell the cordite. I knew the explosives had been set off somewhere.
--Don Perkal, MSNBC

and

We saw a huge black cloud of smoke, she said, saying it smelled like cordite, or gun smoke.
--Gilah Goldsmith, The Guardian

So, exactly who are Don Perkal and Gilah Goldsmith? Military personnel? Hardly. Perkal is a journalist. Goldsmith is a lawyer. Nothing like debunking lies with more lies...

Further, within the next minute, the narrator makes this statement about cordite:

produces little smoke and no flash.

But, Ms. Goldsmith saw a "huge black cloud of smoke."

Thanks, realUT. I appreciate your insight. Can't believe someone put together a video like this. The worst part is that I know a guy at work who served in Iraq. He believes this video to be factual, which I find disturbing. He was over there in Iraq thinking that the government staged the whole thing.

When the truth is disturbing . . . just develop a conspiracy around it.

I think you can look to things like Fahrenheit 911 as catalysts for this type of thinking. MM has every right to make/distribute his propoganda. I think the media in general should have been more skeptical of the work than they were though.
