Loose Change starts off by examining the first three events from above. Without providing any evidence, the documentary claims that they were all false flag operations, and that the respective governments were behind them. They then use that same logic (government hates us all) to argue that 9/11 must have been an inside job as well. Though they later try to prove this contention, it is an assumption that the movie makes from the very get-go. Yep, without any evidence, Loose Change argues that the federal government killed thousands of its citizens.
After presenting the precedent, Loose Change proceeds to give us various accounts and facts that are supposed to lead to their end conclusion. We learn that the Twin Towers were built to withstand a plane's impact (but weakened iron from burning jet fuel is never discussed), that Flight 93 just disappeared into a crater (they ignore evidence from the crash presented in US courts) , and that there were no remains from the plane that hit the Pentagon.
The movie then moves on to discuss the various theories for how the Twin Towers were taken down, using explosions and thermite, of course. It also talks about how there was an explosion in WTC Building 7, which also fell down that day. Using an interview from one man, who claimed to have heard explosions in the midst of all the chaos, Loose Change attempts to paint a picture of lies and deceit, all of which, they claim, are managed by the government.
Even if you have seen any of the previous versions of Loose Change, the new variation contains stuff you haven't seen. Not only are there new parts added, but the movie has removed most of the debunked areas. Gone are the sections about faked phone calls and missiles, and added are more interviews and scary music. I must give credit where credit is due — Dylan Avery, the guy who made the movie, did a very good job at keeping the newest release clean of debunked materials. Well, until this stuff is debunked too.

Well written review Robert. I may not buy into all of the 'conspiracy theory' in the movie, or your take, but I certainly enjoyed reading your review of it. Thanks!

I hear they include Sunjata's essay in the extras. AWESOME! Great undebunkable piece of writing. Amazing work Dylan.

Nice job, Robert.

Thank you Elvira

looks good!

A belated happy mother's day

@7 huh?
9 - Bob's ego
Huh?? Now Bob, we both know mother was here.
She knows we've been a naughty boy! And she almost let the cat out of the bag..
10 - Robert M. Barga
I assume that you are calling me 'bob' and that you are referring to a deleted comment (I did not ask for it to be removed, fyi).
I am not Bob, but if you want to call me that, that is cool. As for the comment, it is not here anymore, so it is not relevant.

lol @ #7
Must have been puzzling until you figured it out, Robert.
12 - Cindy
oh right, I was laughing at #8...ooops.
13 - Robert M. Barga
I was just confused about what it was referring to, as I thought the comment was removed quickly and nobody saw it
14 - Cindy
It still shows up in the 'fresh comments' even after it's removed from the thread. I saw part of it.
15 - Robert M. Barga
oh, that could be why
interesting
thanks Cindy

history is a funny thing

If you read the article, they found 'pebbles' that are either caused by thermite OR by a high explosive force that melts iron
we already know that there was melted iron (kenetic energy has some power)...
18 - enthusiast
Sorry Robert, where does the article mention 'pebbles'?
Are you suggesting that the kinetic energy of the plane melted iron?
19 - Robert M. Barga
I assume the article mentioned is the one that appeared in new scientist several years ago.
I am suggesting that kinetic energy of the towers collapsing, mixed with the heat from the fires, melted steel. We both know that the fires themselves could not melt it
20 - enthusiast
I'm afraid I gave all my New Scientist magazines to Freecycle some time ago!
Here's an important paper from earlier this year, maybe this is the one you mean?
Also, you may be interested to hear NIST actually deny evidence for molten steel at the site.
21 - Robert M. Barga
doesn't mean i buy that they deny it
22 - James McLue
"hey also believe that the hundreds of governmental employees that would be involved could be quiet. "
Just because we don't know the "how" of how it was done, does not mean we can assume *thousands* of people *had* to be involved. You'll tell me that God did it next. Investigation is the *only* way forward.
If the explosive evidence is true, then sure, with even the most closed minds, you'd want to know how that stuff got into the dust of the towers? After all, there were no explosives on the plane...At least there are not on the flights I travel on...
Peace.
23 - Robert M. Barga
Okay, how do you have a government plot without these hundreds invovled?
The dust is not just from explosives
24 - Awe
Terrible review. Biased and poorly written. More of a hit piece than anything else. All these experts can't be liars and crack pots...

I disagree with Robert Barga's review, but then I did organize premieres of Loose Change- Final Cut and the most recent- Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup. I also organized the first march demanding a congressional investigation of 9/11 and have witnessed the cover-up, as well as an increasing number of admissions that the 9/11 Commission itself was "set-up to fail" and decided to lie to the public about what happened.
I did not think very highly of Loose Cahnange version 1 when I saw it, nor version II. Dylan Avery was young and didn't really do all the homework he should have done to make a solid documentary, but then that was not his original intent. Originally the film he was making was supposed to be fictional. He has matured greatly over the years and done a considerable amount of research, and consulted with some of the top 9/11 researchers. He has also done some genuine investigative reporting himself. The latest Loose Change documentary reflects someone who has taken the time to look beneath the myths and legends sold to a gullible, manipulated public, to the actual historical events. False flag operations are not taught in school, nor is how the CIA operates common knowledge, nor covert operations.
Many people who join the truth movement are upset by the facts that they encounter and start studying the topic, in hopes of proving uncomfortable facts to be wrong. When they discover that the facts are real facts, and that they have been lied to, by the media, in school, they are moved to learn more and challenge the more blatant lies continue to be told to expand wars and the already bloated military budget.
I believe the intent of the film is to get people to think more critically and question the corporate spin used time and time again to get people to support wars, and the elimination of fundamental civil rights. The film is a wake up call. If it challenges your view of history, perhaps it is time for you to reexamine the past, and discover what the latest research reveals.
