A Day in Paradise

A couple days ago I blogged about the Loose Change documentary on the events surrounding September 11th. I finally got around to watching it last night.

Now, even though I’m a bit of a conspiracist I do understand a couple basic points about these kinds of events.

1. You are not an expert! Even though something may sound illogical to you, it could have a very simple explanation to an expert.
2. When buildings are blowing up, things get confusing. People will always have different stories, this doesn’t mean that people are lying or there is a cover-up.
3. In the thousands upon thousands of hours of TV footage that is available to dig through, you can find a quote that will suppor ANY theory
4. Listen for “Leaps of Faith”, comments like “We don’t know what happened, but we certainly know what didn’t happen.” These usually surround circumstancial evidence

Having said that, and taking those points into account, this documentary is very well made and does bring up some interesting questions. However, in my opinion the film makers tried too hard to cover all aspects (pentagon, towers, flight 93, and government conspiracy) and that causes parts of the film to be very weak.

Something is obviously wrong with the official story surrounding 9-11, I don’t think there is any question about that. I just don’t see why people can’t present these issues without taking the leaps of faith that are needed to directly involve GWB in the conspiracy. The famous Pentagon Strike movie is a good example of presenting specific information in a focused way. Give the information and let the viewers come to their own conclusions.

Anyway, everyone should certainly watch the movie and draw your own conclusions. The demolition bits were exceptionally good, I especially enjoyed the footage of the demolition of the stadium (OK, so I like watching things blow up). The whole section about flight 93 was pushing it, as was the conspiracy bit at the end.
