"Road to 911" may air, but "Loose Change" is coming


It's safe to say that, if it were a theatrical release, Loose Change would be one of the most popular—and incendiary—movies in the country right now. Avery and Rowe say they are talking to several major movie studios about releasing a third and "final cut" of the film on September 11, 2006. They wonder if the government may be watching, too. "I hope so," says Avery.

1. Are You Saying All This Liberal Furor Over ABC's 9/11 Docudrama.....
is being staged purposely to get ABC to back down so that when 'Loose Change' gets to be a factor - turnabout would be fair play?

Will the Freeps/Repugs - stop 'Loose Change'? Think about what that film implies and how it would finger *CO?

What about the '9/11 Timeline film Randi has been talking about?

34. How can they stop "Loose Change"??
It's not on the public airwaves. You can watch it on a website or buy the DVD (which I did).

4. Can't wait to see it
I just wish to hell they would release it straight to DVD. I'm still on dial up and have been dying to see 'Loose Change' and havent been able to as yet.

Or have I missed something? Anyone know if it is on DVD? If it is, I sure haven't found it.

10. It's sort of like flying saucers
if there are 1,000,000 reported sightings, and 999,999 are phony, that one real one still changes everything.

There were a number of alternatives and I think I picked an edited one - might have had copywrite material removed. I've saved it now using your link. Thanks again.

12. Google Video has it
You can see all three versions on Google Video. It's very compelling. I still think a Boeing 757 did strike the Pentagon. There are too many credible witnesses who say they saw it. I DO NOT think it was brought in to the target by an amateur pilot, however. The 757 can be flown remotely, and flight guidance can be loaded onto it's flight computers from the ground, or from another aircraft. If the plane can take off and land by itself, it can hit a target.

17. Loose change is a mockery
Having just read Nancy Gregg's excellent journal entry on the awesome abilities of DUers, let's just say that we, collectively, put the boys who produced the loose change piece of crap to shame, as they have done zero research, zero fact-checking, and are sadly lacking in all other departments except for, perhaps, putting some snappy music to the results of their googling to produce this poor excuse of a video.

Snappy, maybe, and it probably appeals to those who choose not to use any thinking skills while watching it, but if you're going to watch it, you should also see:

These links will get you a whole lot closer to the truth than loose change ever will.

22. The live footage in Loose Change (which most of it is) is more than worth
the price of admission.

The Hunter S. Thompson interview is awesome. The live TV news reports are eyeopening. The eyewitness footage of the firemen saying what went down is compelling. The shots of the towers coming down are mesmerizing.

And as you point out, the original sound track is very good.

While I haven't visited all 6 of the web sites you list, I have visited 3 of them. And all three share a common agenda of protecting and promoting the "Official Conspiracy Theory." (OCT) None spend anytime at all on the obvious fallacies, omissions, and lies promoted by the 9/11 Commission report. They sure aren't fair and balanced, if you get my drift.....

30. Loose change
Well..... I watched "Screw Loose Change" and it was so bad it actually makes "Loose Change" more credible. Some of the info on these sites you have posted is valid, but they are all part of the chaff thrown up by the well funded coincidence theory lobby to add to the confusion.

32. LC is crappy because it does not include the anthrax conspiracy
Popular Mechanics and others have not even tried to disprove the fact that the source of the anthrax in the post-9/11 anthrax attacks was traced to the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, and that top Bush administration officials began taking the anti-anthrax antibiotic Cipro on 9/11, many days before the first anthrax attack was made.

I can understand why Popular Mechanics refuses to send anyone to the National 9/11 Debate after their "researcher" was thoroughly discredited on the Charles Goyette Show:

35. I just watched "Loose Change 2nd Ed" and it was terribly disappointing
Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 12:54 PM by high density
Just thinking about it half-critically makes me feel like I wasted an hour and a half. There was just so much conjecture and bullshit made up to fit their own story of what was going on. Not everything in the official 9/11 story makes sense to me, but most of it makes a lot more sense than the crap in "Loose Change."

I would much rather see it on film.

31. I heard Road to 911 and I thought of Path to 911
It was actually Lawrence Wright who wrote Al Qaeda the Road to 911 It is up on the web site below. I don't believe much I hear about "terrorists" because how is anyone going to get the information? only from duplicitous people (either terrorists or intelligence agents, who are often the same thing IMO) I am relieved they didn't have the Path to 911 guy on, at least.

26. Watch 9-11 Deniers Speak
And you'll have no illusions that Dylan Avery respects the victims of 9-11. If you make it through the story of Bernard Brown, Jr., without wanting to punch your monitor, you've got amazing self-control.

27. All proceeds will go to ...their legal fees...
Yes, if it ever airs on nationwide TV, Dylan et al will likely spend their entire lives, and profits, in court fighting copyright infringement for all of the footage they ripped, and for the song robbing (the deep piano in the beginning sound familiar - Kill Bill Vol 2 paid for the rights to use it. It originally belongs to the "Navajo Joe" sound track from the 1960's). Come to think of it, A theatrical release will probably garnish them with considerable law suits for the same reasons...so, oh well, carry on.

And don't quote me "fair Use" as they still have to pay for the right to use it, not to mention most of their usage would not qualify.

29. No...but does that matter here.
no, but hey, the rule in here is you don't need to be an expert to make statements of fact right...so what difference does it make.

Beyond my sarcasm though, based on my limited knowledge of copyright laws as they apply to documentaries and the use and misuse of the "Fair Use" clause, I would say that if they did not acquire "usage" rights from the respective news companies/affiliates, that there is a very distinct chance they would be guilty of multiple violations of copyright law, particularly where (a) they are about to broadcast it on major stations in europe, and (b) they are making money off of the sales of their DVDs.

In particular, I think the composer of, and the company that owns the rights to "Sillouette of Doom" from the "Navajo Joe" soundtrack would be very upset if he/they heard from someone that there were people out there making money using his/their copyrighted music without paying for the right to do so...don't you think.

But I am sure that Dylan, Korey, and Jason have all that sewn up by now. I mean I am sure they have had their attourneys get all the papers in order. I am sure someone gave them the money to pay for the rights. I am sure they filed proper tax forms indicating the profit they made off all their DVD sales of "Loose Change". If they were really smart, they would bury any money made into company expenses.

33. Better yet, "Press for Truth" is coming
http://www.911pressfortruth.com/

Based on Paul Thompson's work at www.cooperativeresearch.org, home of the definitive 9-11 time-line, and featuring "9/11 families" (Mindy Kleinberg et all - who caused Kissinger to resign as head of the 9-11 Commission).

Compared to this, Loose Change is just fast food.
