Loose Change 9/11
It seems that (T)Hugo Chavez is watching American movies and formulating official Venezuelan government policy based on what the movies tell him. He's not watching Disney pictures, either. He is watching films like Loose Change and Fahrenheit 9/11 and having his rubber stamp legislature pass resolutions based on them. He's also escalating his hate filled diatribes against George Bush.
CARACAS - When Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chávez called President Bush ''the devil'' in a U.N. speech in September, many thought his ''anti-imperialist'' rhetoric had reached rock bottom.
But fresh depths have since been plumbed. The Venezuelan government, to judge from recent events, officially regards Bush as a genocidal Nazi who arranged the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to justify aggression against other nations.
In a speech Tuesday, Chávez criticized the decision of an Iraqi court to sentence former dictator Saddam Hussein to the death penalty. ''If sentencing is to be done,'' Chávez said, “the first one to be given the most severe sentence this planet has to offer should be the president of the United States, if we're talking about genocidal presidents.''
His comments, which were fairly typical of his recent attacks on Bush, came shortly after the publication of a resolution by Venezuela's legislative National Assembly describing the 9/11 attacks as ''self-inflicted'' and after an exhibition at the Foreign Ministry building in Caracas in which Bush was portrayed as a Nazi storm trooper.
The resolution, which appeared in the official government gazette in mid-October, primarily criticized Washington's decision to build a wall along the Mexican border to keep illegal immigrants out.
But in its fourth paragraph, it calls on the U.S. Congress to “demand that the government of President Bush explain the self-inflicted attack on the World Trade Center and its victims, the supposed aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon and the links between the bin Laden family and the Bush family.''
Unfortunately, Venezuela will continue to slide into a Cuba-like dictatorship under Chavez. He's even using the same model: cast the US as mortal enemy to build internal support. Unfortunately, American movie makers are helping provide the material for the hate-fest.

Building 7! Building 7!
Just put Building 7 in a search engine. Most people think only 2 buildings imploded into dust on 9/11/01. No. There were 3 and the last one, that came down around 5 pm, wasn’t hit by an airplane.

Obviously Arlo doesn’t know basic mechanics of simple engineering principles. Building 7 went down because WTC 1 and 2 blew out No 7’s foundation and not because the guvment planted bombs in the building.
Guess the Loose Change Truthers have forgotten WTC bombing in 1993.

Yes, Arlo, they waited almost eight hours to “pull it” on the last one.
The only thing being “pulled” is the legs of the weak minded who have made the cottage industry of conspiracy books very profitable indeed.

Brand new theory - the foundations were blown out.
Watch this one; its really good. Dutch demolition expert Danny Jowenko http://www.911blogger.com/node/3231

World Trade Center building 7 was destroyed by a controlled demolition.
This allegation was fueled by a comment by the WTC owner that, after WTC 7 was judged to be unstable, he recommended pulling a group of firefighters out of the building, using the phrase “pull it†in reference to the contingent of firefighters. For more details, see 9/11 Revealed?
Conspiracy theorists have interpreted the “pull it†remark as slang for demolishing the building with explosives. But demolition experts say “pulling†a building means attaching long cables to a weakened structure and literally pulling it down with bulldozers and other powerful machinery – not using explosives.
Seismographs recorded no telltale spikes or anomalies that would have indicated the use of explosives.
