Video Feature
 
Loose Change 2nd Edition - Recut

Letter from the Editor
 
By now I'm sure most, if not all of you, have heard of the film featured above.  If you have yet to view this feature, I suggest you visit either the Loose Change 9/11 homepage, or at the very least, take some time to click the play button above (Run Time: 1 hr 29 min) .  5 years on, what have we learned, what have we achieved, where have we laid blame?  Clearly, there is more to the story of these events than the United States government has revealed in official reports.  Here at SRN, we are not necessarily endorsing one view over the other as to whether or not these towers were deliberately demolished, or to the extent of the involvement of the elusive and yet still unfound alleged culprit Osama bin Laden.  Our responsibility is to provide you with what we believe to be some important questions to consider when evaluating, debating, or examining the events of September 11th.  In saying this, we urge as well that you, as a member of the global community, allow yourself to consider alternative viewpoints as well, no matter to which positions or perspectives you prescribe.
 
- SRN Editor & Chief, Jantwon Buell El 
 
"This film shows direct connection between the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the United States government. Evidence is derived from news footage, scientific fact, and most important, Americans who suffered through that tragic day."

SRN Music Review

LivingWithWar-NeilYoung.jpg

Neil Young's "Living With War"
Original Release Date: May 9th, 2006

Amid all the media brouhaha saluting the return of one of the great names of protest rock to the finger-pointing arena, one salient fact has gone unremarked. Living With War is up there with the handful of truly great Neil Young albums. It hardly breaks new ground musically: the amp-busting guitars, slightly leaden percussion and frail, keening vocals are a tried and tested formula that has featured on every Crazy Horse album Young has released these past 40 years ...

The Daily Show's John Stewart has some tea with Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf. [Aired: September 26th, 2006]

CNN's Jack Cafferty discusses the new Time article "What Would War With Iran Look Like" and questions the intel reports we are hearing on the nuclear capabilities of Bush’s next target. There is an eerie sense of dejavu that comes over you when you hear these intel reports coming out and the international community questioning the accuracy of the reports. They always say history repeats itself, but did we ever expect that repetition to occur within only three short years? [Aired: September 17th, 2006]
