It’s five years today since the twin towers fell. I never really heard a lot about all the conspiracy theories until Maddox covered it in his excellent and inimitable style.

I watched about 5 minutes of “Loose Change” on Youtube, I couldn’t bear the bullshit anymore!

OK, so some mental with cash to blow makes a fantasy film for his own amusement. That’s one thing.

But what scares me, propery scary like, is the people that not only believe it (comments like “oh ma gawd, I never did know this stuff.
Hey, Cletus, come looky here at the magic box. It was them there government what done it”.)

And then there are newsgroups…apparently, did you know that none of those flights actually took off? The passengers were killed and their calls home were done by actors? I never knew that….

It gets worse…

Apparently, was a missible with a cardboard cutout of a jet(!!!) stuck on, and the towers were brought down with explosive charges, and ALL the tapes which showed otherwise have been doctored.

C’mon. Bush is moronic beyond belief, I doubt he could even SAY conspiracy, let alone spell it, and even less so keep it hushed up!
And I have no doubt if anyone else was in the job, it probably wouldn’t have happened. But missiles disguised as planes, and every
single tape confiscated and doctored and fake distress calls? No wonder the fundamentalists find easy pickings amongst the mental - there’s a lot to choose from!

Update: I saw a BBC programme called “AM” which had another mental called David Ray Griffin. A bit of googling led me to http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/ and I have to admit to being rather shocked and embarrased. I can understand Americans going for this kind of stuff, but we’re British, dammit! Aren’t we supposed to think about stuff like this?
