Hello, I’m new to this forum and this is my first post. I am a francophone so please be indulgent.
I’m from the province of Québec and the anti-american sentiment here is overwelming. Needless to say the Loose Change «film» is very popular. I’ve been trying for 5 years to answer to those gullible people without success. They just stick to their impressions and loose interpretations of the 9/11 facts (see the Alek member of this thread, typical). That’s how I found this thread and I must say, even though I haven’t completed reading it all, I’m delighted!
I’m an illustrator so I’m by no means a scientist and have absolutely no expertise in structural engeneering or psychology, but here is my yake on all of this. (I’m sorry if it as already been said in this thread, but I was anxious of telling it):
People tend to tie up loose ends, to link coincidences together in order to make the world make sense. Maybe that’s why Loose Change is so poplular. It’s a common human weakness. We cannot think that the world is a result of luck and chance, it has to be a result of purpose. Like religion. People believe Loose Change because they have faith. But faith in what? They believe the American governement and the «globalists» want to take over the world. Anything else is false. But like any religion, that can’t be proven. How conveniant. I think faith is a feeling, and feeling is unreliable. There is alot of things to worry about the globalisation of the economy, and the bush Administration has alot to answer for (the recent phone tappings for example). But the CT must take a step back and be objective. they also need to consider that coincideces do happen. I’m not a professional skeptic but shouldn’t the occurence of chance be incorporated to any investigation? Coincidences are everywhere, at evey seconds. We just don’t see them until an event makes us look (like 9/11). That’s all. Of course some of the discrepencies seem odd and suspicious, but that’s true with everything in life when you let your feelings guide your mind. It is strange that the WTC7 collapsed, and that it had CIA offices makes for a big coincidence. But then again, there aren’t big coincidences. We may never know why WTC7 collapsed, it just did. And it's not a 20 year old amateur filmmaker who is going to convince me that there's a conspiracy.
Back to reading the thread, I’m taking notes.
