    I suggest everyone who has an opinion about 9/11 to watch this.

    Yes, everyone who has an opinion on 9/11 should watch this. Even the ones outrageous enough to actually believe it was a terrorist act and not some massive government conspiracy.

    Fair warning, though--a good bit of it is a very thinly-veiled campaign stump speech. So much for non-partisanship.

    interesting, to say the least...

    I'll watch it, but I am pretty leery.

    What is he angry about, exactly?

    What is he angry about, exactly?

    He seems to be upset with the US gov't moves to suppress freedoms...and that he thinks the US gov't was behind the 9/11 attacks...

    talks about taking back the gov't and giving power to the people...

    he was a pretty scary guy, I just wanted to give a heads up as to what you are going to see...

    edit: the guy who is angry is the person who put together "Scholars for 9/11 Truth"

    Yeah, this guy sounds kind of loathesome already, although in fairness, I agree with his concern about repressing too many freedoms in the name of security.

    Ok, I don't' know which guy you mean. Prof Jones was cofounder of "Scholars for 911 truth", Alex Jones usually yells and screams about the police state, but he founded Infowars.com,Prisonplanet.com , Jonesreport.com and Prisonplanet.tv. Tarpley is an author that has been studying the police state for a long time, Bob Bowman is the guy from Florida running for congress, and then there is that other guy that is shaking all the time, is that who you mean?

    perhaps, the guy I was talking about had white hair and muttonchops...

    I think Lt. Col. Bowman is just pissed that funding for the SDI was cut off.

    Maybe, Webster Tarpley? The guy that won't shut-up?

    I'm a lot more worried abou the larger number of freedoms that have been repressed in the name of taxation than the relatively few we lost in the name of security.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    That's a common perspective when getting screwed from two angles. neither is helping the American People.

    I was weary of the politics at first too, but I think it's more than justified. Bob Bowman does a small amount of campaigning but it's in the light of "Help me get elected and I'll vow to do what I can to right this terrible wrong." I wasn't offended at all by it and think he really feels an obligation to expose these motherfuckers and find the truth behind the lies.

    "Small amount" of campaigning? We must have been watching different programs.
