The Conspiracy Files: 9/11

[Illuminattile]

It's on BBC 2 right now, and it's actually pretty good. They've spoken to Dylan Avery, Alex Jones and some guy named Jim Fetzer. Reminds me why I hate conspiracy theorists so much. They've actually done some research and spoken to experts and people who were there, but Avery just outright ignores it.

Anyway, kudos to the BBC.

was it about debunking the CT's?

 

[Illuminattile]

Yeah, it basically took the various popular claims and investigated them. They didn't outright say "these claims are wrong, Alex Jones is an idiot", but the evidence they found suggested it wasn't a conspiracy.

At the very end (which I missed) they did talk about the CIA knowing that the hijackers were in the country, but not letting the FBI know until too late. Or something. But all the main claims they pretty much debunked.

sounds pretty interesting and something i would like to watch. too bad i dont get the bbc. lol it probably wasnt too hard to make avery look like an idiot. he proves that when he talks. plus the fact that the loose change message forums will either ban or delete posts from anyone who challenges any of their conspiracy theories says a lot.

I turned off when the so called conspiracy theorists attempted to insinuate that The Lone Gunmen was broadcast with the intention of subconsciously manipulating the public through a surreptitious warning.

As for Loose Change, watching that it is like getting bukkaked with stupid.

Apparently Bush flew the planes (that's right, plural) himself and parachuted out right before impact.

My favourite bit was when Dylan Avery, a high-school dropout who couldn't get into film college, says that Popular Mechanics should stick to writing about tractors. Outstanding.

The more I look into it, the more Avery sickens me. He's a talentless, fame-hungry cockroach who's all-too-happy to align himself with racist and neo-Nazis to get his, very fake-sounding, name out there.
