Loose Change 2nd edition (I've not seen the first) asks a lot of compelling, intelligent and important questions. Many have been answered and are believable, some have been answered and are less believable but the most important questions have not been answered at all. Anyone who just dismisses this line of questioning as absurd, unpatriotic or as just stupid 'conspiracies theories' are helping the powers that be in controlling societies in a state of narrow-mindedness and blind trust. There is much I admire about America, it's culture and it's people but there is no denying that its government is, and always has been, the best at manipulation and propaganda. Why did buildings that were not on fire, nor were hit by the planes, fall? Why are there no pictures of anything hitting the pentagon and quite frankly, do you really believe that not one, but 4 planes were hijacked by men with manicure scissors? A real patriot would question what is happening to and who is (mis)leading his country. Although, much like the UK, were all f*cked in the end and have little clout. I've heard more unconvincing arguments as to why Loose Change is floored than I have serious and believable answers to its questions. Yes it's dramatised in places, 'TOP SECRET' has been added to files that are widely available but that is just nit-picking. It is all a conspiracy, step back and look, Bush shouldn't have even been in power, it was a rigged election with a 4 year plan and it worked beautifully. You might want to question who Mark Fenster and his friends work for too and as exciting as conspiracy theory's are - people generally want to hear that everything is good in our world and that our government wants the best for us without personal gain.

Please though, before you leave comment remember this: The official story of 9/11 is in itself a conspiracy theory by definition. A plot by Arab Muslim hijackers who cold barely fly Cesnas masterminded by a man on dialysis living in a cave in Afghanistan via satellite phone and computer which bypassed all intelligence agencies (in the US and its allies), overcame the most sophisticated air defenses on the planet and also crashed into the most heavily defended building on the planet after flying around for over an hour is BY DEFINITION a conspiracy theory. Question everything!
