Have you seen Loose Change? What do you think? Is it hogwash or valid?

Question

If you haven't seen it, don't answer. I don't want some jerk-off conspiracy theorist telling me how great it is just because they heard about it from a friend.... and I don't want some dips#!^ conservative bashing it because they "heard" about it. Looking for honest answers and opinions before I decide to waste the time.

Answer 1

Here are some Websites that I researched. Read these and a form your own opinion:

Answer 2

The video is very convincing. However as you research it, you will find many facts that show how most of the assumptions in that video are wrong or based on pure speculation.

In the case with the Pentagon, the video talks about the way the light poles that were hit and the wing(s) that made contact were all undamaged. You could not possibly know if the wings were damaged as a result and the poles pictured in the video were obviously bent or twisted. Plus, the base of the every pole is designed for breakaway in the case of a car accident to minimize the amount of damage and impact. A large commercial jet moving over 500mph would have knocked them over like straws.

Some of the argument tries to show that the World Trade Center was a controlled demolition, that it fell at a free fall. Time graphs have shown the opposite. If you look on Debinking911.com, you'll see that in fact both towers fell SLOWER than free fall time, easily disproving that theory. Also, many of the quotes used from the firefighters or building workers were taken completely out of context - on purpose. Debunking911.com shows the entire quotes, which will give you a different view about what was said.

The list goes on and on. First, I suggest you read the brief criticism section on Wikipedia, then look at the last two links below:

Answer 3

I'm 53 so I've heard about Kennedy since Nov. 63'. I think being older not necessarily wiser I don't "want" to believe " Loose Change." However that being said "Loose Change" does make one think something isn't quite on the up and up. There are so many interpretations of historical events that the truth is very seldom learned. I can only hope "LC" was false because if it is true the the end of "America" is near. We will still be here but the country will never be the same and for everything right or wrong we have done to live under tyranny would be a disaster.

Answer 4

Loose Change presented some interesting theories, but it never explained what happened to the people on all the airliners - did they all go into the Witness Protection Program" - because they all left behind spouses, children and friends. Also, the U.S. government would not have been able to keep the demolition of the World Trade towers secret - there would have been too many people involved and someone would have come forward by now or leaked information. Again, it had some interesting points, but I don't think it quite adds up.

Answer 5

If I have some loose change I generally put it in a jar and once a month drop it off at the local soup kitchen. That's one way that Rs and Cs help take care of the needy. (oh, I forgot, I look for the 'state' quarters to save one of each.)

If everyone one did something like it, there would be no need for the government go get involved.

Answer 6

I've watched it several times. There is valid information that I can't understand but it is so in your face, brainwashing techniques that I am wary of it. Do I believe the Bush administration did that to our country? I can't believe that or I would now be in Canada. I do believe there are a lot of unanswered questions and we will never know the truth about it. The movie should have been more low keyed and indisputable. The way it was done has that Micheal Moore hysteria feel to it and cheapens the message in my opinion.

Answer 7

Loose Change was well done. Sorta kinda researched, but if you really look at their "sources" you will see that like every conspiracy theory out there, things were taken out of context. They ignore any hard science that disproves their "evidence". But they have no qualms quoting parts of the hard science that support their arguments.

Personally, I started laughing about 5 minutes in and couldn't stop until it was over.

Answer 8

it si hogwash...and that is to put it nicely...and easily disputed....if you ahve the time....check this site out, the facts and questions here could not be answered I am sure, with any logic or reason, by those making money from Loose Change...but if they could, I would love to hear it

Answer 9

Totally worth watching but my friend is a structural engineer and says they are incorrect in many of their assumptions.

If it was a plot it would have been linked to Iraq...which it never was.
