*Sigh* I used to love his work - Twin Peaks for me is, together with perhaps Nirvana, the essence of early -90's. And now...

I mean, I can digest Charlie Sheen, but Lynch? Why would such a creative free-thinking artist fall into the trap of standard conspiracyt heory? He doesn't even promote an original approach (which I could have appreciated).

He never really directly said it was an inside job though. He only doubts the official account. At least thats what I heard about him.
But anyway, CTists hold no face, no religion, no race, etc. IT might come to everyone and anyone, and no one knows who and when except God. The only fact it's that it always comes in the form of black t-shirts and free-handed DVDs.

IMO he's hit and miss. I loved "Twin Peaks," but hated the prequel movie.

As I wrote before, their happy to have Lynch on their side. He created a character (Dale Cooper) who's chief method of investigation is throwing rocks at bottles.

If you watch the clip, he's just regurgitate the standard ct elements. So, I would say he doesnt just doubt the official account - he also very much embraces the common themes of the truthmovement.

Cheers,

Is anyone really surprised? I'm always hearing of musicians and filmmakers and writers and other artists expressing opinions that I totally disagree with.

Many of the people I most admire I couldn't stand being in the same room with.

That's what happens when you mistake "disturbed" for "creative free-thinking" :D That makes me glad I never liked him anyway!
 
Well, I'm not surprised, most 9/11 CTs feel like David Lynch plot anyway, both are overly complex, feel like they've been dreamt up by someone in a chemically enhanced state, you get the distinct feeling that the author thinks that he's being terribly cleaver, and ultimately neither make one bit of sense.
 
It is interesting, though, that when David Lynch appeared on Alex Jones program last week (the "Bigger than Sheen" surprise :)), he did significantly tone down from what he said before.

Iconoclastic film director David Lynch has publicly questioned the official story of 9/11 on national U.S. radio, joining the Alex Jones Show to reiterate views that he first raised on Dutch television in December.

Lynch has directed a host of popular movies and television favorites, including Eraserhead, Dune, The Elephant Man and Mulholland Drive . He was also the creative force behind the Twin Peaks television series in the 80s. Lynch is currently enjoying rave reviews for his latest release Inland Empire .

When asked about his controversial and courageous comments during the Dutch TV piece which can be viewed below, Lynch stated, "I knew they were gonna bring it up and you saw what I said, we are all light detectives, human beings are all light detectives - we look at our world and we keep looking at it and we get these feelings that there's more going on than meets the eye."

"As far as 9/11 goes there's things we saw that conjure questions and wondering and something doesn't seem quite right so it makes us wonder and the next step is we need answers," said Lynch.

Lynch noted that there were numerous inconsistencies in the official story in stating, "There's questions arising from each of the events of that day and I don't have the answers."

"When you see that does it make you wonder about things, does it seem that what we were told actually happened - it just makes me wonder - I see things that don't add up, I have questions," said the director.

Lynch characterized 9/11 as just a surface problem, a symptom of a deeper fault the solution of which lies within us all.

"The ocean of solutions is within," said Lynch, "enliven that."

"It's a world of clues, a world of mystery but the mystery can get solved, you can find a lot of answers for these things within."

Of course the Infowars article goes on with quoting Lynch's statement to the VPRO, but Jones apparently didn't get Lynch to repeat the usual claims on his program.

There's every chance he'll change his mind. I've seen lots of people get interested in the 9/11 "inside job" theory, but people of normal intelligence soon see the idiocy of it and give up.

Still--it would be damned interesting if someone this talented made a movie about 9/11. Dennis Hopper could play Cheney.

Lynch appears to have swallowed a lot of woo about transcendental meditation, too. I wonder if we'll see some kind of synergy - bastardised 'quantum physics' used to link the fall of the WTC to a universal Mind :D

Some good films, though :D

There's an interesting 9/11 blog entry on the David Lynch Foundation Myspace. Basically, it implies that if there'd been enough TMing going then 9/11 wouldn't have happened. So we all need to sign up for $2500 courses to stop it from happening again.

I can quite see Lynch regarding 9/11 as the manifestation of a dark spirit in the human psyche (for reference, see Twin Peaks and most of his films). I don't think he sees much difference between it manifesting via parts of the government or Islamist terrorists - to him it's all a symptom of a more general malaise that we need to meditate away from. Hence, from the Prison Planet article that Firestone quotes, above:

Lynch characterized 9/11 as just a surface problem, a symptom of a deeper fault the solution of which lies within us all.

"It's a world of clues, a world of mystery but the mystery can get solved, you can find a lot of answers for these things within."

It's pretty obvious that Lynch is using Alex Jones' show to push his TM foundation. I expect him to remain extremely vague about 9/11 and not to endorse any particular theories.

Yep, he seems to be on our side. Don't like it?

What do you think about?

Ed Begley.
Ed Asner.
James Brolin.

and a few others.:)

I did not know they were so dumb. Now I do! That is what I think!

You are a side of lies; the lynch mob without guts; the guys in college who flunked out first quarter; real dumb actors who can not read but lines; 0.00067 engineers of the United States; a few crackpot pilots; and few mindless followers like yourself who do not have facts. Prove me wrong with some facts.

I think all of their careers are in the toilet and they've been spending all their free time cruising the net instead of pushing their agents to get them new gigs.

I pretty sure they'd turn pale if they were asked a structural engineering questions.

Having 3rd rate celebs doesn't validate your theory or make up for your lack of evidence. All it does is show the world that you don't need to be smart to be in show biz. Take Dylan Avery for example.

And yet strangely no sign of more than a couple of engineers and architects, those pesky professionals trained in fields relevant to the collapse. Bit peculiar that, eh? :rolleyes:
