Like building a rocket ship and then forgetting to add the astronauts.

BTW Lynch’s original idea, for those who like “Blue Velvet”, was to have the villain not inhaling Nitrous Oxide but Helium and give the film’s ominous murderer a vocal sound like a one of the Chipmunks. (Dennis Hopper, of all people, had to talk sense to him out of this and have it changed lest the plot be destroyed and become just a higher budget mess like the gibbering “Eraserhead”.)

Personally, I think ‘Truthers’ like Lynch, et al, have all of the incisive intellectual penetration of a rubber suction dart.

Lick and stick.

If not, why the frick not?

This isn’t criticism, it’s grotesque false accusations, and I for one am absolutely sick of it.

I have a hard time believing that even 25% of the public are stupid enough to fall for packs of lies like F911 or Loose Change, which are nothing more than edited photos, distorted testimony, and random made-up crap.

If it is true, then it really does cast the very concept of participatory democracy into doubt. How can you have a stable system of representative government if a quarter of your population is “functionally insane” (like functionally illiterate)?

To the “truthers:” Your “heroes” are lying to you so they can feel superior and make money. You are being suckered. And LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES of your own research will prove that to be true. The more time you spend, the more obvious it gets.

I really need to put that ad in the newspaper that just says “Send me all your money.” If people really are this dumb, at least I can make sure they’re not rich.

The sad thing is, my boss was born and raised in Israel. If anyone should know what Muslim extremists are capable of, a man who spent the first 35 year of his life in Israel should qualify.

It seems like conspiracy theories are ’sexier’ and therefore, more believable to sheeple. That does not bode well for the future.

Well of course your boss buys in to it Jade… don’t you know the Zionists were behind it, and told not to come in to work that day? Get with the program! (j/k obviously)

Seriously though, I’ve heard that there is very basic psychology behind wanting to believe in conspiracy theories. Something about being “part of something” and believing that there is an almost “simpler” answer, with a bad guy to point the finger at so that you can cope with something, by pretending that the governmnet is that in control, and there is no threat that could manifest at any time.

Most people who are that gullible are not worth saving.

He was saying how it made a compelling case that it wasn’t actually terrorists. I was polite and let him talk (although didn’t agree at all) because A) he’s my boss and B) I experienced 9/11 from 4 blocks away in NYC and I don’t like to talk ‘conspiracy theories’ with people.

Bush was sworn in on January 20, 2001. 9/11 happened 7 1/2 months later.

The Pentagon asked for permission to share intelligence gathered by intelligence code named ABLE DANGER, concerning 9/11 ring leader Mohammed Atta in 1999 with the FBI.
President Clinton’s Attorney General, Janet Reno, and Assistant Attorney General, Jamie Gorelik, told Pentagon Lawyers to deny the request to share intelligence with FBI to arrest and bring Mohammed Atta in for questioning. The wanted to share this intelligence with the FBI, in 1999, but were told “NO”. Did our government drop the ball? YES.

Does this mean President Clinton, Janet Reno, President Bush, and Jamie Gorelik wanted 9/11 to happen? HELL NO!!!

Donald Rumsfeld was in the freaking Pentagon, on 9/11, WHEN IT WAS HIT. If I was planning ane knew a “missile attack” was planned on the Pentagon I would get the hell out of there.

A plane didn’t hit the Pentagon? What complete crap.

“Aydan Kizildrgli, an English language student who is a native of Turkey, saw the jetliner bank slightly then strike a western wall of the huge five-sided building that is the headquarters of the nation’s military. ‘There was a big boom,’ he said. ‘Everybody was in shock. I turned around to the car behind me and yelled “Did you see that?” Nobody could believe it.’”

Terrance Kean, 35, who lives in a 14-story building nearby, heard the loud jet engines and glanced out his window.
“I saw this very, very large passenger jet,” said the architect, who had been packing for a move. “It just plowed right into the side of the Pentagon. The nose penetrated into the portico. And then it sort of disappeared, and there was fire and smoke everywhere. . . . It was very sort of surreal.”

As for Lynch I would add, that he is also an example of what goes wrong when you refuse to make judgments and keep a perpetually open mind.

Within 5 years of leaving these projects, I can’t think of a SINGLE secret (save the boring technical details) that HASN’T been exposed. And these projects weren’t nearly as controversial as 9/11. There is NO WAY such a plot could have been hatched – thousands of people would have been employed, and I doubt many (any?) would have been so devoted to “the cause”. And the CIA, Bush’s supposed minions, etc., would know such a secret could never be kept.

What are these “truthers” thinking?

There’s no way to explain this.http://hotair.com/archives/2006/12/08/video-david-lynch-truther/...

Who else agrees that there’s a 50/50 chance there will be official investigations in to a possible 9/11 conspiracy theory within the next 10 years? Sadly, stealthily, the truther “message” is getting out. I’ve always said that these truther videos (Loose Change, etc.) can be pretty compelling at first, because we are so conditioned to believe someone wouldn’t flat out lie for fear of being caught lying… but all you have to do is first, consider the common sense aspects (thousands of people involved and no one running to the press, etc., eyewitnesses lying, phone conversations faked, etc. etc.)… And then do a little googling using “debunk” in your searches. Or just hit up “Screw Loose Change” (which hasn’t always been around).

But sadly most won’t see the debunking information. Most will think the conspiracy theories are just retarded, but like the South Park episode said “25% of the country is retarded”, and I get the feeling that number is growing.

Again, anyone else think there is a decent chance for official investigations? (Seriously)

Friggin Idiot.

and. . .

“Yep, that’s an ear all right.”

“It is happening again.”

Sounds like Lynch has been Bass Fishing on Mars for too long.

Sometimes a terrorist attack is just a terrorist attack.
