Jesse did a great job for about 4 minutes and then Eric said something at the 4:03 mark that, in my opinion, made Jesse do a double take and destroyed his arguement.
Jesse started to talk about a trillion dollar lithium reserve and Eric said that it would be a lot cheaper to have just bought the lithium rather go to war for 10 years and then buy it.
When he said that Jesse got a blank look on his face and couldn't talk for several seconds. He then settled down and tried to rationalize it by saying corporations makes enemies of those who don't do buisness with them. But that doesn't make sense since we are still going to buy it from Afgahnistan.
Jesse lost that battle easily with one remark from Eric after getting hammered for 4 minutes.

Yeah the guy Jesse was speaking to is obviously living in a denial driven fantasy world by the attitude he was displaying...
He like many Americans just cannot accept that maybe their own government did and often does very evil things and then lies about it constantly to the American people...
Who wan't to believe it? no one really.... But it exposes the denial and the emotion driven responses to any evidence other than what the official explanation is...
Jesse Ventura showed a lot of patience with that guy, more than I could have...If it was me then that guy would be sporting a sore face.. (which is why it would never be me
It is one thing to be naturally skeptical but quite another to be in total denial with yourself and accepting all of the official watered down, propagandized garbage the msm feeds to the publicedit on 15-10-2010 by alienreality because: eta

Oh, come on..... :shk:
Poor Jesse, he's lost it. (Note to self....research thread idea for steroids and dain bramage...I mean, brain damage...)
All Jesse is doing is the same thing you see/read here....parroting the same "talking points" from the vast wasteland of idiotic "9/11 conspiracy" sites that infest the Web, nowadays. Long on opinion and bluster, short on specifics, evidence and FACTS.
AND.....the "Faux" News host (Bolling) hits it on the head, and shuts Jesse down completely, at about 4:00:
(Paraphrasing, didn't write down exact quote): "It would have been cheaper to BUY the lithium, instead of the cost of ten years of wars."
unfortunately there are alot I mean alot of people that accept the official story(as I live among them)without even looking at the evidence.on the other hand its not surprising that the msm backs it up its what they get the big money for ,to do as they are told.I don't care how loud or how emotional(can't help but be emotional)people deny the os as long as its being said and heard kudos to Jesse!!!!!

Here is some schooling for you. Corporations have made MANY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OFF THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. They did not pay for the war, TAXPAYERS PAID FOR IT WHILE CORPORATIONS PROFITED FROM IT. So even if corporations do pay a paltry price to Afghanistan for the Lithium, which they will not do because deals will be signed that screw the Afghans out of their mineral, but if they did pay even totally what it is worth, it would still be a bargain to them because taxpayers have already paid the price for the war. CORPORATIONS WILL JUST GO IN AND REAP THE PROFITS.
In the immortal words of Charlie Daniels "That's how you do it son."
WASHINGTON — The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.
The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe.

Jesse Ventura did an episode on Conspiracy Theory about 911. I just watched it on youtube.
He puts alot of focus on black boxes not being recovered.
The thing is, if no planes hit the towers, there would be no black boxes to recover.
So you have two possibilities:
1. Planes hit and black boxes were not recovered. The problem with this is that there has never been an incident in aviation history were at least 1 black box was not recovered. In this situation you have 4.
2. Planes did not hit, and that's why there are no black boxes.

Or...
3. There were planes, but the black boxes contained information that did not support the official story, so could not be recovered because they would implicate the perpetrators.
TOO many eyewitness' for 'no plane' theory...and the 'no plane' theory is becoming a distraction from the truth movement, giving undue ammunition to the 'debunkers'.edit on 16-10-2010 by jambatrumpet because: (no reason given)

'good ol dave' that is simply incorrect. There is no interest in whether the conspiracy is sinister or not. The truth movement is made of many individuals who think the official story of 911 is inconsistent with what occurred on that day. So, they are asking questions. The fact that you see no problem with the official story, and you seem to be an intelligent, articulate person, is mystifying to me.
