Video: “Ludicrous diversion”

A ludicrous diversion indeed on this slowish post-Thanksgiving news day. It was a matter of time before the London bombings got the “Loose Change” treatment, right down to the jazzy, sax-and-drums-heavy soundtrack. LC appeared in April 2005, three and a half years after 9/11; this one hit YouTube less than 18 months after 7/7. Having some institutional knowledge at hand of how to blame daddy for what the bad men did to you really cuts down on production time.

Parts 2 and 3 are here if you’re curious.

You know that in 2 years there’s going to be some research poll that states that the majority of the people believe that Mr. Tony was behind it. People forget quickly…

StoutRepublican on November 28, 2006 at 10:39 AM

I really hate these people.

I think Aouthrpark was being generou with their assessment that 25% of Americans,and now Brits too, are retarded.

bbz123 on November 28, 2006 at 10:57 AM

Oops.Southpark

bbz123 on November 28, 2006 at 10:57 AM

Its just a money grab. Trying to cash-in on Trutherism. Disgusting.

Why do I get the feeling that this was put together by British Muslims trying to cover up the role of their fellow British Muslims in the 7/7 attacks?

Sad thing is there are members of the majority of the new congress that also have some beliefs along this line.

William Amos on November 28, 2006 at 11:42 AM

Yes indeed. I think there are many in Congress who want to believe it, even knowing it’s not true..if that makes sense. What I mean is, Congressional Demorats would rather fight Republicans than terrorists. All they’ve done since about 9/14/01 is fight every method we’ve employed. Add to that the media’s open propagandizing, and a weak GOP…you’ve got the inmates running the asylum. I have very little hope left..

Actually, in 2 years the bombings will never have occured.

Just like the moonbats here in the USA that want us to “get over” the towers or as Ray Nagin refers to them, “Holes in the ground”.

It sounds convincing.

Ouabam on November 28, 2006 at 12:08 PM

WARNING…. Watching this stuff will rot your brain.

RalphyBoy on November 28, 2006 at 12:09 PM

Have you ever seen that movie – “Drop Squad”?
I’d like to drop these jerks in the worst area of Gaza – naked.

However, the existence of this stuff warrants a response, or reaction – a consequence. I mean greater distribution of movies like Obsession (too soft) and Prophet of Doom.

Remember the “Loose Change” guys were interviewed by CNN. There was no alternative opinion – it was like a commercial. I have been REALLY PISSED OFF ever since.

I swear I am on the verge of a JIHAD.

The thing about these types of videos is that they work from the false premise that it is possible to know everything about an event with absolute certainty. In other words, because we cannot know for sure what exactly happened on the flights on 9/11, conspiracy theorists will use that as evidence that the story is false, because we have to use circumstantial evidence to piece together what happened.

You can basically make a video like this about any event that ever happened in the history of mankind because there will always be things you can’t know, there will always be contradictory witness testimony (due to faulty memories, faulty perceptions, etc), and mistakes will always be made in investigating them.

I’m sure it gives these kinds of people a thrill believing that they are uncovering some greater truth when all they are actually doing is pissing on the graves of the victims for their own fame and fortune.

Seixon on November 28, 2006 at 12:44 PM

Watch part 2 and part 3. It still sounds convincing.

Ouabam on November 28, 2006 at 12:59 PM

oh no, not again! um, how many times are they going to keep explaining away terrorist attacks with these goofy conspiracy theories?

Free Kurdistan on November 28, 2006 at 3:13 PM

What can’t Bush do!? For a dumb guy, he’s damn crafty.

Watch part 2 and part 3. It still sounds convincing.

Ouabam on November 28, 2006 at 12:59 PM

You’re kidding, right?

RightWinged on November 28, 2006 at 5:51 PM

You’re right. Diverging eye-witness accounts are actually evidence to a historian that an event really happened (notice, I said evidence, not proof).

When eye-witness accounts match up 100% (or darn near 100%), it reaks of a story that people got together and memorized.

Of course, why should that fact get in the way of these guy’s conspiracy? They accounts don’t match up?!? Bush must have done it!

JadeNYU on November 28, 2006 at 6:26 PM

Okay,

I am convinced!

Muslims never had anything to do with the attacks anywhere in the world, be that in India, Israel, the United States, Great Britain, Kenya, Tanzania, Spain, anywhere!

It is all a hoax perpetrated on the masses by mean, evil people.

Islam is the Religion of Peace.

From now on, only non-Muslims should be checked as an extra security measure at airports, when boarding aircraft, when traveling by bus, train, or ship, or anywhere else for that matter.

Since it is an established fact that Muslims are peaceful, honest, loving people, and that they are never terrorists and never get involved with violence, it makes no sense to ever inconvenience them or check them out again.

Nevertheless, we all know that Chinese women with small children, black US Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard members wearing their uniforms, carrying their orders, white haired retired school teachers with walkers, small children, old men, Catholic Priests, Christian ministers, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Ba’hais, International Society of Krishna Consciousness practitioners, yoga practitioners, Chi Gong practitioners, Tai Chi Chuan practitioners, and Conservatives and Republicans are all serious threats to security and should be scanned, frisked, and observed at all times. They are dangerous, very dangerous!

So, lay off Muslims. They are saints and never a threat to anyone. Scrutinize and blame everyone else instead!
