It must be getting close to September 11th, because the shows on TV have shifted to the numerous documentaries on 9/11. Usually I hate watching these because they’re so one sided. They only show what ‘really’ happened, but don’t tell both sides. I’ve watched several of the Internet documentaries, including Loose Change. I tend to believe or at least agree with what mainstream media and the government have to say about what occurred. Although I do find some of the conspiracy theories interesting, I find them just that, conspiracy theories that are usually easily proven to be UNTRUE.
One of the best REAL documentaries I’ve seen so far is “9/11 Conspiracies – Fact or Fiction” on the History Channel. This show did a great job of debunking or at least refuting some of the claims of the conspiracy theorists by showing the theories, and then refuting them with actual expert analysis. I say ACTUAL expert analysis instead of going using some guy who used to do construction in some city somewhere who said that it looked like a controlled demolition. I liked one statement in particular where an investigative journalist said that as an investigative journalist, they put together all of the pieces and connect the dots, whereas some of these so-called journalists that put out movies (“Loose Change”) they don’t connect the dots, they just spread gossip by saying a completely false statement and then saying “…you decide.”
What I liked about this documentary is that it showed actual clips from films like “Loose Change” and then had real experts and people who were there and whose sound bytes were used as the context for most of these conspiracy theories telling us that they were profoundly not true. I find it repulsive that some of these conspiracy theorists prey on people who mourn the people who died. To say that the government actually kept a secret and did something like blowing up and killing its own citizens is ludicrous. It is insulting to my intelligence that they would say that. The worst I’ve seen is the idiotic ‘journalists’ from Loose Change ON September 11, 2006 at Ground Zero arguing with FDNY and others about how they need to “Ask Questions, Demand Answers” about what REALLY happened. Most people, I believe, are content with the fact that their family member, loved one, friend died in the collapse of one of the towers or in one of the planes that were used as weapons that day. I’m sure that THEY (those mourning) find it insulting that idiots that are searching for ‘answers’ by coming to a memorial on a day of remembrance and saying that their family, friends, loved ones were in on the conspiracy and didn’t do anything about it.
Sorry conspiracy theorists, I just don’t believe you. I’ve watched, but everything you say, although sensational, is very easily debunked. Where’s the MythBusters when you need them to build a full scale model to prove what happened and show that these ideas are not even ‘plausible’ or ‘confirmed’ but flat out BUSTED!
