Well found out something interesting Saturday. Was walking with the wife and the little one in the local park, and decided to go up to a glass case that was installed a few months ago. Been seeing it on and off for the past 2 months or so, but never took a close look. From a diatance it looked like there was a large log or something along those lines inside. Well turns out it's a support column from WTC 2 that was recoveredd in the aftermath of 9/11. It's about 6 feet long, maybe 18 inches across or so. Looking at the ends you can clearly see how the metal was twisted and torn, no sign of demo charge cut marks or thermite burn through. I will try to get some pics later this week. So looking forward to are next LC CTer claiming that the support beams were cut.

And remember the Sago mine disaster? The initial reports were that the miners were alive. If you heard the testimony of the guy who first reported that they found the miners, it was obvious that he'd been told in no uncertain terms to change his story. I think they WERE alive when they found them. I think they had discovered something, or had witnessed something that the company couldn't risk them talking about, and they let them die. I only recently realized this, and I'm going to be looking into it more. I'm going to try to find some geological reports of the area to see if I can come up with any anomalies.

I'm tempted to compile a list of all the conspiracies these kids think happened, and post the list at their forum. Maybe do a poll.

Well thats one way to explain why Sylvia Browne was wrong about the miners. "They were alive when I predicted that! But Big-Mining had them killed!"

In regards of post 17:

Thats simple:
[CT thinking cap on]
The Flash, as in the cartoon character, is in reality speaking in codes, thus enabling George W. Bush to communicate with various Illuminati chapters at the same time all over the world. Same goes for Ray Romano's lines in "Everybody Loves Raymond". This particulary coorporation came about as Ray Romano are a member of the same species of lizards as both Jim Lovell and Bush not to mention the drummer, Lars Ulrich, from Metallica. The same code also presents itself if you play Metallicas tracks backwards and count the drumbeats. And don't tell me you haven't heard the satanic messages on those tracks! Metallica is, after all, the right hand of the Antichrist also known as George W. Bush.
These codes are centered arround a sinister plot to change the weatherpatterns of the world by using the local atmospheric changes of greyhoundraces at specific time and places to influence the Corliolus Effect. Italian Greyhounds are particulary good at this due to their aerodynamic shape and speed. Don't tell me you haven't noticed how the weather changes when they have one of those races! It's so obvious!

Perhaps it was hitting a little too close to home? Killtown and Holmgren (http://s15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=6260&view=findpost&p=5432490) were arguing that many of the eyewitness accounts of those who saw the second plane hit the WTC weren't really eyewitnesses, so Merc the Jerk (http://s15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=6260&view=findpost&p=5432619) assembled a bunch of eyewitness accounts.

Of course, that's getting a little too close to the argument we raise against the Pentagon nonsense; that there are plenty of eyewitnesses who saw an airliner hit the Pentagon, so Dylan closed the thread (http://s15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=6260&view=findpost&p=5434079).

Dylan Shuts Down "No Planes" Thread
Well, bless his tiny brain, that is truly hilarious. The idea that no planes hit the WTC is absurd, but the idea that no plane hit the Pentagon is the "truth." Yep. Makes perfect sense.

JFK II is an incredible documentary film that totally destroys any notion of Lee Harvey Oswald being responsible for the murder of ... all » President John F. Kennedy. Packed with original and new footage, JFK II provides strong clues as to who was really behind the assassination.

This examination of the ecidence is meticulous ans well-documented. JFK II ia a criminal indictment of George Herbert Walker Bush and establishws beyond a reasonable doubt his guilt as a supervisor in the conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy.

EDIT: Spelling errors are unchanged from the included synopsis on google video.

I have some questions, hope you all don't mind. I know the Loosers keep on with them.

Might I ask what the 'free-fall' thing is all about? Is this what happens during a controlled demolition?

Also, why is christophera banging on about this concrete core? What has that got to do with anything?

The CTs contend that the 3 WTC buildings fell "too fast," that is, at or near the speed they would have fallen if nothing resisted their fall. Some even claim that the towers fell as fast as they would in a vacuum, i.e. true free fall. The NIST report gives CTs a little ammunition because it refers to the towers as falling at "near" free fall speed. But then NIST goes on to say that the DIFFERENCE in the actual collapse speed and free fall is accounted for by the resistance providecd by the building's structure (and by air). The CTs leave that part out. If you're talking about 2 or 3 seconds' difference, that's 20 or 30% slower than free fall, which the folks with slide rules say is within the expected range. Now, do buildings that undergo "CD" fall at "free fall" speed? No. Controlled demolitions are designed to weaken certain supporting members so that gravity can do its work, not to simulaneously remove every supporting member in the structure.

The concrete core thing is just a fantasy dreamed up by Christophera and a few others. It might have made a difference in how long the towers survived if they had concrete cores, but they didn't.

That photo shows material being ejected from the 41/42 floor mechanical levels as the building collapses. It's likely that material had an easier exit on the mechanical floors, since they had vents to the exterior.

ETA: Oh, you asked what's poking through the TOP of the dust cloud. Well, there's a piece of exterior wall sticking out near the top center of the cloud. Is that what you mean?

[sat556]

Now that's what I was thinking of. I couldn't figure for the life of me how even a CT could be claiming that. But apparently... :boggled:

Not long ago quite a few of them were using the phrase "faster than free fall," but that seems to have died down.

Same idea. The "spire" was a tall piece of the north tower wall that survived for a few seconds. I'm always impressed by how much of the lower wall structure remained standing. That's a great example of how the tower walls differed from a traditional curtain-wall skyscraper.

If you heard the testimony of the guy who first reported that they found the miners, it was obvious that he'd been told in no uncertain terms to change his story.

I only recently realized this, and I'm going to be looking into it more. I'm going to try to find some geological reports of the area to see if I can come up with any anomalies.

Obviously the miners had stumbled onto a secret underground government complex, where they're busy developing all of their holographic planes, faster-than-freefall gravity generators, and mind-controlling chemtrail dispensers.

Well, you certainly created one of the longer thread(s) in forum history.

also,

- created a quasi-battleground between the JREF and Loose Change forums. In the process you created the JREF Ninja Wave.

- helped educate quite a few people as to the arguments on both sides of the discussion.

- allowed me to add "government shill" to my list of titles.

- given everyone a few pauses for serious thought (and more than a few chuckles)

All in all, it's a great thread. I just wish the DJLegacy/Gravy thread had taken off. That would have been a good read as well.

A quick question for the knowledgable...

This is regarding the discovered passport that CTers think is so important and the FBI don't...

Pre Sept 2001, what identification was required to board a domestic flight in the USA? And if a passport was not required, how common was it for people to carry their passport around anyway?

I'm thinking the image of someone off to the airport to go overseas, desperately looking for their passport because they haven't seen it in six months or a year...

Even some rough info/speculation on this would be nice. :)

We got a guy posting that "faster than free fall" nonsense the other day. When I pointed out that would require some external force pushing down on the building, he explained that since it was an implosion, that meant there was a vaccuum, which pulled the building down.

Apparently he's not aware that "implosion" when it comes to CD is a marketing term, not a scientific one.:eye-poppi

I think it would be quite sensible for the hijackers to bring their passports along. As long as their papers were in order, why not carry all the ID they've got? Redundancy doesn't hurt.

I used my passport as ID for almost a year when I lost my driver license and was too lazy to replace it (I live in NYC and don't drive much).

You did not have to show any identification. Around 1992 I lost my wallet while visiting New Jersey and the only reason I was a little nervous was that it was a free ticket I'd gotten from a frequent flier program and they were more likely to ask to confirm ID on those. But I explained the situation to the gal at the counter and she just said not to worry about it.

The odds of somebody carrying around their passport are indeed slim to none if they are US citizens used to staying inside the country. Of course that does not apply to Al Suqami.

[gumboot]

In 2001 I used my passport as ID for almost a year when I lost my driver license and was too lazy to replace it (I live in NYC and don't drive much).

Thanks, so you didn't necessarily need your passport right? In which case I'm going to assume most people probably didn't use it (why carry extra ID if you've got something else?)

So here's the thing...

Anyone in a clandestine scenario will always carry the "ID" that justifies their presence. If you're a spy in Russia, you make sure your "russian" passport is on you. These terrorists are "spies" as much as any agency operative. So it seems *more* likely a terrorist would have their passport on them somewhere than a regular civilian.

Admittedly this is all speculation, but it seems to make sense.

The passport found was for an alleged pilot hijacker, so he was at the front of the plane. Other reports I have read revealed the hands of one of the airline pilots (still bound in wire) were found on the roof of a building several blocks away.

All seems to make sense to me.

[Hutch]

Regarding the passport thing, I lived overseas (United Arab Emirates) for nearly 4 years and I was in the habit of keeping my passport in my briefcase and taking it to work and whenever I travelled outside Abu Dhabi. Yeah, I had a UAE Drivers' license and ID Card, but having a passport around always made me feel a bit more comfortable. I'm not too surprised that these guys would have had it with them, especially when travelling..

As for finding it, I speculate (hey, if LC can mutter darkly about our finding it I can think about a logical reason) that perhaps it was left outside of the clothing in the cockpit and thus was more likely to be flung away from the crash. No way to prove it, but it makes more sense than a "MIB" planting it in the middle of the devastation.

...And I haven't seen any of them mention the fact that the WTC is just up the street from the building that is used as the HQ in "Men in Black" (It's actually a ventilation building for the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel).

At least one CT does mention MIBs: crackpot Karl Schwarz
In 1989 - there were plans to erect scaffolding and disassemble the WTC towers and rebuild them. Cost projection was around $5.6 billion. One of the architects shows up to work one day and the MIB's were there - had confiscated all of the plans, specs, details, etc for WTC. They even confiscated their office cubicles and had tape on the floor outlining where they went.
Love it.

One thing I haven't heard explained in terms of CT theory. Their incredible grip on physics demonstrates that the speed the building collapsed at defies the laws of physics, therefore it couldn't be a collapse. It had to be CD. Since when did CD become a loophole for following the laws of physics?

Probably true, for certain values of "ordinary citizen." I'm in the habit of carrying my passport around because I work with government agencies and defense contractors, and I'd rather show them my passport than give out my Social Security number to every visitor's desk that asks for it. Unusual, yes, but not that rare.

In any case, I'm not at all surprised that the terrorists were carrying their passports. I'd expect them to plan for snags, and carry anything that would help them get through unexpected scrutiny and untimely questions. At the same time, let's not jail people for carrying too much ID, please. :o

The odds of somebody carrying around their passport are indeed slim to none if they are US citizens used to staying inside the country.For 1992, I believe that, but I thought that in the two or three years leading up to 2001, they did require positive ID such as a drivers license.

Also, I've had my passport in my briefcase since I got it in 1994. I just have always left it there, and it would be with me whenever I travel, which is almost all domestic. It's two years expired now, but still in the same spot in my briefcase.

I think the terrorists would keep their passports with them because, well, where else would they leave them? In a hotel room, for the authorities to find afterwards, making the investigation easier? Or on their person, where more than likely they will be burnt/lost/destroyed? Makes sense to me.


Also, in point of fact, "freefall" is not a speed. When you are in freefall, you are under acceleration. Sorry to be so picky.


On second thought....when you reach terminal velocity, are you still in freefall? I'll have to think about that one....

Surely free-fall is the rate of acceleration under gravity, in a vacuum isn't it? So under free-fall you could not reach terminal velocity (that being the speed at which resistance equals rate of acceleration, resulting in a constant speed from then on). Under free-fall conditions (no resistance) a body would simply continue to accelerate until some other force stopped its movement.

-Andrew

[Anders W. Bonde]

(that being the speed at which resistance equals rate of acceleration, resulting in a constant speed from then on) is the definition of terminal velocity.

It happens in a gravity field, where, in a vacuum, acceleration would remain constant (assuming the observed body has orders of magnitude less mass than the center of gravity shared with whatever body it is accelerating toward) because wind resistance increases at the square of the velocity. If there were no gravity, and hence no acceleration, the object would eventually stop due to friction (drag) - like a car running out a road normal to the gravitational pull.

JFK II is an incredible documentary film that totally destroys any notion of Lee Harvey Oswald being responsible for the murder of ... all » President John F. Kennedy. Packed with original and new footage, JFK II provides strong clues as to who was really behind the assassination.

This examination of the ecidence is meticulous ans well-documented. JFK II ia a criminal indictment of George Herbert Walker Bush and establishws beyond a reasonable doubt his guilt as a supervisor in the conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy.

EDIT: Spelling errors are unchanged from the included synopsis on google video.

Awesome work guys. I played LC2E to my girlfriend, with no prior comments on my part, then proceeded to apply the Viewer's Guide and my own discoveries to her questions and queries. Safe to say so far I've addressed only the aircraft phone calls, the pentagon crash, and the "explosions" heard in the towers. She is already thoroughly convinced the LCers have no idea what they're talking about.

I thought I had a pretty good grip on the whole thing, but after looking at some of the work you folks have done my awareness of the crazy claims, how they came about, and the reality, is infinately better. Thanks a billion!

Yes, they mention "JFK II" a couple of times in their interviews. Bermas calls it the "creme de la creme" of JFK videos.

[pgwenthold]

For 1992, I believe that, but I thought that in the two or three years leading up to 2001, they did require positive ID such as a drivers license.

The 911 Commission report states that one of the highjackers in fact did not have photo ID. The procedure in that case was to keep the checked baggage off the plane until it was confirmed that the passenger was aboard. I guess the idea is that they won't get on board if they are checking a bomb.

No. In fact, in the extras of LC2E at Ground Zero, there's a random loon on camera saying "The same people who killed JFK did this." Jim Fetzer, who heads "911 Scholars for Truth" with Steven E. Jones, is primarily a JFK conspiracy theorist. He's often on radio shows about it.

I think we are reading too much into things about the passport.

The hijackers are Foreign Nationals and are REQUIRED to carry their passports with them while in the USA. Same as you and me, (if you are yankee american) by strict reading of the rules, you are required to carry you passport while in Jolly old England, Italy, or China.

Not that anyone has asked to see your papers on the streets of Manchester, or Milan, or Xian, but in theory, you are supposed to be carrying your passport.

Same thing here in the USA - the hijackers (by the rules) are supposed to be carrying their passports at all time. They wouldn't want their whole plot to be thwarted, because one of these swine forgot a simple thing like a passport.

Now, on the freefall thing - we are talking about freefall and Terminal velocity in real world, not lab conditions. The quote is from Sport Parachuting by Russ Gunby, pg 63:

"Sooner or later the speed and friction will balance each other and when the balance of these two forces is reached, the falling object will then have reached a steady falling speed which is called terminal velocity. In atmosphere this takes about 12 seconds and is approximately 176 feet mer second or 120 miles per house. Once terminal velocity is reached, an object will not fall any faster."


Lets not read things that aren't there, or get bogged down by the CTer's in ability to understand science, or use the terms properly.

[kevin]

A quick question for the knowledgable...

This is regarding the discovered passport that CTers think is so important and the FBI don't...

Pre Sept 2001, what identification was required to board a domestic flight in the USA? And if a passport was not required, how common was it for people to carry their passport around anyway?

I'm thinking the image of someone off to the airport to go overseas, desperately looking for their passport because they haven't seen it in six months or a year...

Even some rough info/speculation on this would be nice. :)

I flew on 9/10/2001 (and 9/17/2001). I presented a photo drivers license to the people at the gateway to the plane (not at the x-ray security checkpoint like today). The id was presented to the airline people, there were no dedicated security people.

Note that the hijackers had illegally obtained driver's licenses. They should leave behind their passports since they wouldn't match the driver's licenses.

Additionally, like I did on 9/10/2001, the hijackers showed up at the last minute and basically pushed the airline people to let them on. The airline people checking ID's as you got on were mainly concerned with people flying with tickets in their name -- not preventing hijackings. IDs in the last seconds of boarding got barely a glance.

Finally, when on a sucide mission are you really concerned if passport is later found? If you work for a group that plans on taking credit for the disaster don't you want to be easy to be proven who did it?

Note that identification in no way increases security and that it is possible today to fly without identification at all (if you're willing to submit to a more through search.)

[The_Fire]

Maybe compiling a list of various airport security measurments before and after 9/11 would be a good point at this point. That way it can be adressed properly in future discussions.

[60hzxtl]

Again, the hijackers are foreigners - they are SUPPOSED to be carrying their passports.

[gumboot]

Thanks for all the info people. :)

It seems to be pretty much as I suspected.

Maybe at JFK, but in MPLS at the time for a domestic flight all you needed was a driver's license or gov't issued picture ID.

[60hzxtl]

Maybe at JFK, but in MPLS at the time for a domestic flight all you needed was a driver's license or gov't issued picture ID.

Not as airport id - just out on the street, by strict definition of the passport - and your visa. In your possesion is the rule.

[MikeW]

Maybe at JFK, but in MPLS at the time for a domestic flight all you needed was a driver's license or gov't issued picture ID.
What if there was an emergency change of plan and they had to leave the country, though? A bit awkward if you don't have your passport with you.

[R.Mackey]

Now, on the freefall thing - we are talking about freefall and Terminal velocity in real world, not lab conditions. The quote is from Sport Parachuting by Russ Gunby, pg 63:

"Sooner or later the speed and friction will balance each other and when the balance of these two forces is reached, the falling object will then have reached a steady falling speed which is called terminal velocity. In atmosphere this takes about 12 seconds and is approximately 176 feet [p]er second or 120 miles per hou[r]. Once terminal velocity is reached, an object will not fall any faster."
Freefall vs. terminal velocity aren't entirely relevant with respect to the WTC collapses to begin with. Couple of points:

1. Terminal velocity is the speed at which gravitational force and drag balance. The speed depends on object density, size, and aspect, often approximated as "ballistic coefficient." A bowling ball has much higher terminal velocity than a feather. ~120 MPH is about right for a skydiver in proper position, it goes up considerably if you're in a head-down position. Steel girders are probably faster.

2. You can't really treat the WTC towers with terminal velocity anyway, because they aren't falling in a freestream of air. They're smacking into lower floors and into the ground. There's some slight drag at the edges, but there is no static body of air that the upper floors have to force their way through. Instead they're forcing their way through the lower floors... Those floors contained air, and probably were momentarily pressurized as the upper floors came through the ceiling, until windows shattered like a glass balloon (perhaps creating visual events that CT morons label as "squibs"). In any case, there is structural resistance to the collapse, as treated by Greening and others, but there is no steady drag force so terminal velocity is not the correct concept for modeling purposes.

In summary, nothing unexpected happened.

[60hzxtl]

Freefall vs. terminal velocity aren't entirely relevant with respect to the WTC collapses to begin with. .


Exactly, but when Dylan intones "Freefall" the cter's go ooooooohhhhh, as if it were important, my point is that they don't know what it means. The words mean nothing when he uses them, but it rings in their empty heads.

(And terminal is a lot more fun!)

[aggle-rithm]

No. In fact, in the extras of LC2E at Ground Zero, there's a random loon on camera saying "The same people who killed JFK did this."

So, 911 was perpetrated by a bunch of old guys in their 70's and 80's?

Those sly devils! Here we think they're playing shuffleboard or feeding squirrels, when they've really been plotting their next nefarious scheme!

[pgwenthold]

Again, the hijackers are foreigners - they are SUPPOSED to be carrying their passports.

I guess I don't know even what this whole passport issue is about, but let me state again for those who missed it above, it is known that one of the hijackers did not have a photo ID when he checked in. He was flagged for extra security, which means that his checked baggage was held off the aircraft until it was confirmed that he boarded.

This is all in the 911-Commission report. You folks know how to get there better than I do (heck, I just followed one of all y'all's links)

A hijacker's passport was found in the debris from the crash outside one of the WTC towers. A passer-by picked it up and gave it to a NYPD officer (IIRC). CTs don't believe that a passport could've survived the impact in readable condition and imply that it was planted by the passer-by (whose identity is unknown).

The motive as far as I can see relates to the falling dollar against the Euro. It seems that every country that went towards the Euro seems to be a target.

Except good old Britain, who of course haven't adopted the Euro...come on mate at least give the impression of doing some research otherwise this isn't a challenge it's just me pointing out that you've got a surfeit of arms and legs over brain cells...

[R.Mackey]

Hey, aren't you the intel agent from the NYPD who paid me that visit before 9-11?

Yeah, you were with agent Hall, thats RIGHT, you are.

Well, hello my old friend its been wuite some time, did that shooting thing go ok? the one where you accidently shot the cop in the back?

I hear agent hall is no longer with the detail, what happened?

Sentinel
Did you honestly just accuse me of shooting a peace officer??

It is definitely time you sought professional help. I'm sure someone here can point you to a good source of counseling and evaluation.

No, I am not kidding.

Sentinel
Yes, I am 12 years old. But i have my own computer and know how to spell and write a coherent sentence. You can't spell, write, and have no computer at all, so you go to the public library.

So who got you in the fire dept.? Your daddy? Uncle? Clearly, it wasn't by your own merits.

BTW - you know the gov't can monitor you through the gov't owned computer you post from, don't you?

I was on my to work in the vicinity of Old Trafford on a match day when I was stopped and searched by a pair of police officers. (I was wearing a black gilet with lots of bulky pockets and carrying a rucksack.)

I have no idea:

* Where you were
* When this was
* What you were wearing
* What you were carrying.

ETA: You seem to have explained all of those things, but in a language I don't understand.

It's OK Curt, I've been to Englad a few times, let me try and translate:

Old Trafford--The home stadium of Manchester United, one of the most famous soccer teams in the world.

Match Day--Manchester had a home game that day--probably Saturday, but they do have weekday matches too, so the actual day is in question.

Gilet--I admit I had to look this one up myself: http://www.indigoclothing.com/Jackets/Ripstop_Gilet_L247/

rucksack--Backpack

Given that Manchester and other English soccer crowds are prone to rather, ah, "exuberant" displays, cops will be out in numbers and making sure there are no rocks, bottles, knives, submachineguns, et. al. being brought around the stadium.

Hope that helps--been to Highbury, Tottenham Court, West Ham and Leeds myself.

OMG !!
Write and you didn't notice the SS Agent Greer turn around and point the shiny 45 and fire in close proximity to the governor who had to duck when the shot was fired? Didn't you hear The presidents wife state "They killed the president" and The driver SS Agent Greer apologize to Mrs Kennedy ?

Sentinel thinks Greer killed JFK. Sentinel, please start another thread...somewhere, if you want to pursue that issue.

And wherever you post, maybe you can take my advice of a few days ago: post one question. Only one.

Explain why you are looking for an answer. That's very important, because people don't wan't to waste their time with trolls.

Read the responses to your question carefully. Consider them carefully. Think before responding. Take a day or two if need be. We'll still be here.

Have a DISCUSSION about that issue until it's resolved, or until you think no resolution can be reached.

Then, and only then, move on to the next topic.

One question at a time, Sentinel. Patience.

Please try it.

This is a new one, though. I've seen a lot of wacky stuff on teh intarwebz, but this is the first time I've ever been accused of a major crime, totally out of the blue.

Not ninja material, perhaps, but do I at least get a medal?

My ladies brother was an avid activist for the environment. To make a difference instead of sitting on computers and typing crap and screaming rubbish at every chance, propogating propaganda and the like, he actually works for the GOVERNMENT and EDUCATES children on environmental issues.

They think your USA government is corrupt? How about living in Zimbabwe or some heavy islamic controlled middle eastern country? God man, these people have no perspective. I bet they would shun someone collecting for world aid at their doors.

Unless you lived or worked in LA, SF, Boston, DC, or New Jersey, you'd be relatively unlikely to know any of the passengers, but if you were from any of those places it's quite possible. When Northwest Flight 255 went down in Detroit en route to my home of Phoenix, I knew a couple people on the flight; one ex-girlfriend and one Phoenix Suns basketball player. But there have been dozens of other plane crashes in the years before and after and since none of them involved a Phoenix flight, nobody I know has died.

My sister (New Jersey) knew two people on Flight 93--Todd Beamer (lived in her town) and Jeremy Glick (his father worked with her husband).

It's hard to understand what a cartoon world the Loosers live in. In my interview transcriptions, Avery grudgingly admits – in 2006 – that he's come to accept that the passengers on the planes were probably real, because he gets emails from their relatives. What a hideous creep.

I didn't know anyone on the planes, but I'm only one person separated from passengers on three of the 9/11 flights. That is, I'm close to three people (one being my brother), who knew those passengers.

Whoa! I didn't read that whole thread before. During interviews they complain that they're treated like kids by their critics. Now Avery is saying, "We're just kids, give us a break." Yeah, just kids accusing people of mass murder while giving a pass to the real killers.

Sorry, Avery, but like it or not, you're chronologically a man. I was 22 once, and did my share of silly things, but you are off-the-chart arrogantly, vehemently, publicly, an a-hole.

Avery thinks I'm a waste of his time, but I told him that if he pays heed to my criticisms now, he will save himself a lot of embarrassment and grief in the future. We'll see.

My dad's a military officer here in New Zealand. A good friend of his was a staff officer in the very office that got hit. By luck he was in another part of the building on an errand at the time.

A couple of days after 9/11 He sent out an email to his friends world wide (including my Dad) basically giving his account of the day. It's a chilling and harrowing read. He is a navy intelligence officer, so he's very precise and clear about details.

He clearly identifies and describes flash-burns - unique injuries only caused by fuel-based fireballs (incidently, the same as described by the people who heard a "bomb" in the basement/lobbies of the Twin Towers, confirming it was jet fuel going down elevator shafts). He describes the chaos of the scene, the way the military took over from emergency personnel way out of their depth. He describes the dead and wounded. He describes walking home for 6 hours late that night (traffic wasn't going anywhere) after trying to rescue his work mates all day.

It is the experiences and memories of people like this, people like the firemen who toiled for weeks at ground zero hoping to find fellow firemen still alive, relatives of U93 who at least have the knowledge their loved ones tried to do something, it is all of this that makes things like LC such a vile terrible thing.

And yet they wonder why people like us care, if LC is such a pile of garbage what's the big deal?

It confirms what the document of the filmmakers' quotes made me suspect... these people have no idea of the significance of what they are saying.

I only hope you guys can somehow prevent your country from slipping into this madness. I suspect it's already too late for my country. Everyone here seems to believe things like LC as a matter of course.

Okay, I started this thread, and I'm not saying i'm sorry, because I'm always in favor of free discussion. But I am somewhat sorry that I came to this forum to begin with. I found it through a friend of mine who knows I have major issues with the WTC collapses. Basically, he told me that this was THE place to come for alternative discussion.

...

But I am nobody's toady, and I always want to know what's what for myself. So in the past day I read the rest of the "hit piece" and listened to several of the interviews that were referred to.

And I'm sorry, guys, but I cannot support LC after hearing the things I heard.

...

From what I heard, the quotes were not taken out of context. They are what they are. And alot of them are just plain nasty and stupid and wrong. And relying on Jason Bermas? This guy is a crackpot, plain and simple. He's a f***ing idiiot. And Dylan and Korey seem to look up to him as Mr. Knowledge.

But the worst part is hearing Dylan dissing the victims, or try to back away and say he's not dissing them, and then he insults them.

It's pretty disoriented over there. It's ironic that in the real world the Loosers are higher than they have ever been, but they can all sense the ship is taking on water. We can joke about it a lot, but those folks are the true believers and about all they can say anymore is that Loose Change is a good introduction to the concepts that the Truthers want to get across, despite all the errors that they now admit exist.

My buddy at the office? He's embarrassed, doesn't want to admit that he bought LC first time around. I thought he was the canary in the coalmine and he was, but in the good way--that people who are really interested in the facts won't listen to a BS Truther once the lies are exposed.

When James and I went over there first early in May about the best they would admit was the B-25, not B-52 issue. Now somebody writes in to compliment LC and even the Admins are saying "well, we hope you understand that Loose Change has a lot of problems."

Loosers have very short memories.

And I would not have heard of Loose Change (although I was vaguely aware of LIHOP and MIHOP) if the Loosers had not spammed the comments section of the Huffington Post reviews of United 93 at Tribeca. And I would probably not have gotten as irate had I seen V2 instead of V1; the part that really got me angry was the joking about Todd Beamer talking to a Verizon supervisor (and an FBI agent) instead of asking to be patched through to his pregnant wife. Somebody like Dylan would not understand that but any adult would appreciate the agony of the situation; to Avery it was a plot point in a soap opera to be criticized because it did not fit his juvenile worldview.

And to be honest there was a sense even on my first viewing that this was a target-rich environment. In the end the paranoids are right; Loose Change appears like a trap for the Truthers.

L. Ron Hubbard was wrong. Founding a religion seems like a difficult way to make money compared to just hopping on the conspiracy theory band wagon. Maybe we could collaborate on a film about New Orleans? I know, I know, we can't take advantage of folks that way.

A while ago I tried to invent the most ridiculous conspiracy theory I could, and decided that the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami would be a suitable source. Much to my dismay, I found that I was too late (do a web search on "tsunami conspiracy" and see for yourself.) There are actually people out there who believe that the tsunami was caused by

A while back we had some pretty cool erruptions at Mt Rupehu here in New Zealand. A few newspapers immediately blamed french nuclear testing that was ongoing in the pacific. (They also described lava, even though it is an explosive volcano).

I have heard people blame American B-52 carpet bombing in Iraq for the earthquake that caused the Boxing Day Tsunami. Never mind the logic...if the minor energy release of carpet bombing produced earthquakes... that would mean an earthquake, releasing far more energy, would produce an even *bigger* earthquake, which would in turn produce and even BIGGER earthquake... and so forth.
