So...It has been quite an adventure, this 'Blogosphere'. The night I started this blog, which BTW I think no one has looked at, my world has been rocked. It started with the film and has expanded exponentially from there. I used the internal search for blogs to find what others were saying or thinking about the movie, which led many, many places. Finally, I landed and have set up house at "firedoglake". The learning curve for blogging is intense but I'm beginning to get the hang of it with the caveat that I still know very little.
I always get fired up about politics during an election cycle, it's unavoidable. Watching "Loose Change" made me question so many things about the 'main stream media' and all the places I was getting information. I thought of myself as 'a progressive' and thought I was getting good info from NPR, BBC,CBC, and a little NYT. Boy was I a mook. But it's getting better now and I'm reading from sources I would never have found if it weren't for FDL. The point is, I believe I have alot more control over the content of the information I'm recieving rather than having to decontruct and critically read what I was getting before. Decontruction and critical thought are still part of the mix, but now I have so much more to work with. Thanks to the Left Blogosphere for all that you do, and keep doing it.

Why isn't this on the news? Why have I only just heard about this tonight? 'Loose Change' has left me feeling ill, sick to my stomach and confused, thus the title of my blog. I had always felt some strange 'impending doom' about the 911 tragedy. I have known how devious and evil the Bush administration is and that world domination, money and power are their goals. In the make-up of the cabinet there is a horrifying depth of malevolence that renders one powerless to oppose.
You would have to take out the first eight or ten people in the chain of command before anything would shift a whit. It seems to bring into focus the very breadth of the deep-seated, inexorable corruption of our government. The "DaVinci Code" of world politics. I feel like a character in "The Manchurian Candidate" or "Conspiracy Theory". Certainly I am not the first person to feel like this as a result of the film "Loose Change", nor are any of my thoughts here unique but certainly, someone must be doing something about it. No? Please let me know if you know anything about the 911 thing or have feelings of powerlessness about what the bush administration is doing or anything I written. Thanks. And this is my first post to anything ever, so be gentle with me, your mother would appreciate it.
