You Got Mails !

Last monday was the 5th anniversary of 9/11, the fall of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers and the attack on the Pentagone. There has been quite a buzz about it on the web, many blogs unearthed the topic that have been abandoned, at least by the non-american nations. Like everybody, I heard of the Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11 (that I haven't watched though) suspecting that the government let this terrorist attack happen...

And I found something really interesting, a video, from a very young guy, 22 years old, who brought matter to express a conspiracy theory. The movie Loose Change, freely available on the web (I personaly downloaded it with BitTorrent, a Peer2Peer, bandwidth-friendly software), is well detailed and really estonishing. Since then I watched another one, I visited some weird websites, dealing with deep conspiracy point of views.

All this affair reminds me the day I watched JFK, the Oliver Stone's movie about John F. Kennedy assassination. Who still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed the US president in 1963? Who? Will the word "conspiracy" mean "truth" in 40 years? What is becoming democracy and freedom the United States preached?

Today people say "I will never forget that day" or simple things like this. I think that our role is, not only to remember, but to unravel the truth. Don't you want to know what really happened that day? Why some explosions were heard and felt at level 7 and 8 of the WTC, after the planes crashed? Why haven't the pentagon suffered from wing damage after the Boeing 757 crashed? What happened to flight 93?

However there are also some defenders of the official version. And they got some points. For instance, fahrenheit 9/11 has been heavily criticized. Another website states that a 757 truly crashed in the Pentagon. What to believe? I no longer have an idea. What I know is that the United States (and every rich country, at least) tightly control information. Media are no longer independent as they can only feed you with what the government feeds them. And as french political elections are coming soon, we know that people can easily be manipulated with fear, or even worse, terror...
