Care for a drastic rearrangement of your perceptions? Wanna feel outraged? Better than a horror movie, and it's real. Watch the first eight minutes of this video and tell me you didn't think, "Jesus Fucking Christ."

I watched this film a few months ago and then downloaded the 2nd edition of it (or is this one the second edition?). Anyway, if you REALLY want to get pissed off, watch this immediately after watching "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room." I did that with a friend the other night and couldn't sleep at all that night.

You can download the whole film from Bit Torrent and the filmmaker actually encourages it and has participated in some of the discussion on Bit Torrent forums. Certainly raises the hair on one's arms, doesn't it?

I actually didn't.

I certainly loathe this administration, and I definitely think there's all kinds of awful stuff we will never know about failures, warnings, and inside wrongdoing leading up to 9/11... But if I am to apply the same skepticism I would apply to a similar piece with a conservative slant, there's a lot keeping me from buying in. I don't know where any of those alleged facts came from, nor how solid they are. It feels to me like a collection of handpicked factoids from a a sea of millions, assembled to make a pre-determined point. There could be a million reasons why any of those things were done - and they could be the kinds of things that are done all the time, which may be a problem that needs to be addressed, but that's a separate issue.

I think the administration (and many administrations before this one) screwed up in countless ways that led to a set of circumstances that allowed 9/11 to happen. I think, excluding Guiliani, the response and followup has been abysmal. I think Bush ought to have been impeached and all the rest of them jailed a hundred times over by now. But I don't think they gov't knew 9/11 was going to happen, at least not specifically. Maybe I just can't face living in a country where people who would do that are in charge, but there you go.

It frustrates me how the U.S. government doesn't even bother to make their lies anything less than ridiculous, barely plausible. As if to say "you know that's not the truth, but what are you gonna do?" Like the recovery of the supposed terrorist's passport for example. It's a joke.

My parent's generally live by the rule of "If it's not FOX news, it's liberal slanted propoganda" and followed by the second rule of "if you question the things our government says to us you're a liberal crazy conspiracy theorist."
It's an amazingly conducive enviroment for healthy discussion... NOT! ohh mann thank you Wayne Campbell

I love this whole Charlie Sheen thing now, he's all "I don't think these things add up and i think there needs to be some discussion" and everyone else is like "He's crazy, conspiracy nutbag theories, didn't he used to do drugs and bang hookers?"

If only Alex Jones toned it back a bit, i think people would take him more seriously. You should check out "Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove"
