Topic: Loose Change

Host Greg Carlwood introduces documentary filmmaker Jason Bermas, citing his influential early internet films such as Loose Change, Fabled Enemies, and Invisible Empire. Bermas discusses the concept of a post-truth world, noting that the term was a specific agenda item at the 2017 Bilderberg Conference. The conversation establishes the current era as one defined by technocratic takeover and the erosion of objective reality through propaganda.

Reflecting on his own awakening, Greg Carlwood discusses the impact of the film Zeitgeist and how his views on its segments have evolved. While he now views the Venus Project as techno-communism, he maintains that Loose Change remains a strong piece of research. He provides an update on the THC 500 subscription drive, expressing optimism about the current numbers.

Greg Carlwood emphasizes "leading by example" through a successful business and healthy lifestyle to provide "social proof" to skeptics. John Kirwin shares his specific 9-11 "awakening" moment involving CGI plane anomalies in documentaries like Loose Change. They discuss the difficulty of convincing family members who refuse to acknowledge any evidence, regardless of its validity.

The discussion turns to the impact of the documentary Loose Change on the mainstreaming of 9/11 skepticism. Dan Fogler argues that questioning official narratives is a patriotic duty and discusses the social stigma attached to the term "truther." He suggests that while many people prefer the comfort of the status quo, individuals can maintain control by changing their mindset and refusing to succumb to fear.

The TSA collected over $500,000 in unclaimed loose change at airport security checkpoints in 2012. Under the TSA Loose Change Act, the agency is permitted to spend these funds on aviation security without annual appropriation. Miami International Airport topped the list of collections at $39,000, followed by Las Vegas McCarran and Chicago O'Hare.

The group recommends the documentary September Clues, which analyzes 17-second glitches in the live news coverage of the second plane hit on 9/11. A participant with a background in telecommunications explains that in 2001, digital editing was rare, making the potential manipulation of live analog feeds a complex task. They debate whether the footage of the planes was digitally inserted over missiles or other projectiles.
