Interesting. I will reserve most of my thoughts on this for everyone's counterpoints on here...but it's certainly interesting.

The whole discussion at the start about religion leads into modern events quickly, so bear with it. I think it's interesting how all the religions of the world are so closely intertwined, even if they're a scam or not.

I'm really not pleased about the North American Union stuff at the end. I don't support anything of that nature whatsoever.

This is more or less another Loose Change type movie with a much broader scope. It's less of a stretch, I think, than Loose Change about a lot of the conspiracy connections.

Two hours. Enjoy. It's the middle of the night.

If it's a repost, sorry, link to it and lock this.

Wow, no thoughts AT ALL?

The intro sucks, yes, but the movie is quite interesting.

They start talking at five minutes. Skip to that, you won't miss anything...

I saw this and was going to post a question regarding the plane that hit the Pentagon. How come there are no pictures or videos of it happening? In the documentary, it says the FBI confiscated all of them. WHy would they do that? Is it because there was no such incident?

Still shots of a security video of the plane hitting the pentagon was released months ago. Why they were confiscated who knows. Must be because our inept government staged a massive conspiracy involving thousands of people in multiple branches of government and no one has yet come forward about it. They can do that. They're the goverment.

Back to planet earth.

CIA can...there are a lot of incidents in history, big incidents, that have some proof they were involved but not enough to make the public believe it

The CIA can't even pull off a coup in another country without it coming to light that they were behind it. There is no way in hell they could pull off 9/11 without someone coming forward.

It's an organization made up mostly of publicly traded banks that has oversight by the US government. Do you really want complete control of the money supply by the US government? Countries that allow a high degree of control of the money supply by the government tend to be plagued with inflation.

But go ahead, keep your money under your pillow to avoid the evil banks. That really is a great place for it.

You make a good point. But I just wished it was in the hands of some independent, not for profit organization.

I really try to see a plane in those videos and I can't. The only object moving is in the first video and if it is a large commercial airplane how can it fly so close to the ground at that speed? It makes even less sense when you consider the fact that the pilot, Hani Hanjour, was barely able to steer a puny Cesna at flight school.

By the way that crash test video had an F4 fighter which is much smaller than the alleged pentagon airliner.

Oh and one more thing: Why doesn't the government release footage from the rest of the surveillance cameras? That building had plenty of cameras...loads of cameras actually. Do you honestly believe no other camera has footage?

On topic:

Watched this documentary last night. What I found most interesting was the analysis on war profiteering. Does anyone have a link to a reliable source on the Lyndon Johnson's lift of trade restrictions with the USSR during the Vietnam carnage, in 1966? I can't find any myself.

This documentary is quite an eye-opener. Although there are a few spots where truths are stretched a bit and that really stinks because it makes people want to discredit the rest of the film. I was gripped through the entire show. I enjoyed the first section about religion. I knew previously that Christianity stole much of its rituals and beliefs from Pagan religions, but I didn't realize exactly how much was stolen. I did have a very hard time chasing down more information on the connection between Horus and Jesus. There is just no supporting documentation for many of the comparisons they make (at least I have not found any yet).

Video of plane hitting Pentagon
Video of Plane hitting a concret wall at 500 MPH, there is NOTHING left of the plane.
Video of Pentagon crash from Hotel cam

That's the best they got? Granted I watched the second plane hit the WTC, but this is garbage video. I smell something fishy. That does not look like no plane to me. Looks like a setup.

Why do people call it "pagain". You're disrespecting the people that believe in those religions.:)

doesn't make that much

I have no problem with banks really, but I do have a problem with a private organization printing our nation's money and making citizen's pay interest on it. Inflation is bad enough already, and the Fed is printing money just as fast as our gov't could. Why can't we just skip the middle man, that coincidently is accountable to no one?

?I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of our currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around (the banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.? - Thomas Jefferson

Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve

So what exactly happened? They took the air plane and killed everyone on board?
And then launched a missle or something into the Pentagon?

What about the Plane in Penn. No one saw it crash and there is no video of it at all.
