Muse's Matt Bellamy: "September 11 is clearly an inside job"

a fucking knob. Can't he just play music rather than parade his stupidity? What a dick.

I'd stick to the guitar.

David Bellamy is clearly the man

i'm not the biggest muse fan, but at least he's saying something. over here in america there has been a gag order in effect by clear channel effectively silencing bands from speaking out against, well, anything. so for ANYONE to say ANYTHING is fairly important imo. & to say something like this (that the fuckhead running america committed this shit) is impressive as well. that's not to say that no musicians have spoken out about the growing fascism within america, but censorship is such a prevalent force here & it's a difficult topic to fight (due to corporate media strangle & censorship). so the more the merrier i say.
but to invade the middle east was not necessarily the primary objective. in examining the patriot act & it's immediate application & it's loooooong term consequences one can more clearly see the objective.

& besides, craig can't score goals. & has a stupid fucking tattoo.

just....a stupid fool.

has and is entitled to his opinion.
just because he is a well known musician doesn't mean he can't speak out about anything that isn't muse related.
if someone that worked at starbucks was talking about 9/11 you wouldn't turn around say 'shut the fuck up mate, get on with that latte'.

(or would you?)

if he said something so STUPID.

have believed that until I saw this documentary (granted- probably designed to make me think it was allowed to happen) but did you see the second tower when it unzipped, the explosions looked detonated, they were fucking EXPLODING, not collapsing. Something fishy, definately.

Matt said something similar to this four or five years ago, (in NME, before Origin (which makes me think it was 01), with the cover of him with blue hair looking a bit manga sid viscious), he basically said it was a conspiracy theory, before explaining that there was an extra planet, who came down and cloned us to be a fraction of themselves (intelligence and size wise?), and that all of this was somehow instigating global unrest a la 9/11. He was quite keen to point out that he'd been reading up on the subject.

At least he's got interests

For the record, IMHO, there is no conspiracy, just a lack of US Federal govt resources devoted to a n issue which hadnt quite forced itself into the public consciousness yet. That doesnt stop the Bushes, Bin Ladens, Saudi Royals and others from being similar people in similar circles

Was in the US for nearly a month. The weird thing is the amount of people with similar views to Matt Bellamy, and the amount of people (spesh young people) who were really down on their own country. I find it impossible to believe that any politician would knowingly stand by and let 3000 people die on their own soil... though the thing that most freaked me out on 9/11 was why the whole buildings collapsed because of explosions and air crashes on the topmost floors.
It perhaps is possible that the security services allowed a terrorist attack to get under the net. In order to keep the IRA believing it had no infiltrators the British security services had to let the occasional attack succeed...because otherwise the IRA would have known for sure that they had moles...and keep their fingers crossed that the particular plot was only a 'small' bomb or whatever.(perverse as that is) We may never know which of the IRA atrocities were the ones 'allowed' to happen... and applying the same logic to middle eastern terrorists...maybe it is conceivable that the neocons wanted to let the terrorists have a success in order to generate enough fear to unite the country behind them..and to start wars deliberately in order to generate lots of reconstruction and military revenue for US companies. If 9/11 was 'allowed' to happen, though, it would have only been because the US players involved were blind to the scale of carnage that was planned.
I think that we're probably closer to the mark believing our leaders to be guilty of colossal mistakes than believing them capable of willful evildoing.
It's still no reason to be down on America. It's still a great country, built on sound principles and populated by a decent bunch of people... I was wondering if Americans being down on their country was some stage on the way from a colonial to post-colonial mindset.

he is only echoing what a lot of people have been saying for the past few years.

my rock stars crazy - ergo, this bit of mentalism is good.

that all the world's banks are really run by aliens.

if it furthers the cause of 'patriotism is a load of wank'.

but out of curiousity I watched the video that the dude above posted. I can now see where he's got his opinion from as the evidence is certainly very strong. I'd recommend people just to have a look. I went with the mentality that it would be some crazy outlandish theory and was ready to pan it, since watching it I feel a lot different. Check it out.

If you don't think politician...republicans at least, will sacrifice numbers of people to further their own lust for power/money etc then you'd be wrong. Aren't these the same people who will attack other countries, send people to war, resulting in their deaths and the civilians involved.

It's a shame sometimes people will confuse facts with personal opinions. Like during the Micheal Jackson and Lil Kim cases.

"We believe he/she is innocent. It's a set up!"

"Why"

"...because their music changed my life"

"What an informed and intelegent opinion..."

Also, did you have any choice over what country (or skin pigment for that matter) you where born in/with? I thought not.

a fucking idiot and insensitive to boot.

you really should read this.

the other day, and as was said above, the 911 conspiracy is a government conspiracy, according to them.

What they seemed to be saying was that the US government are incapable of forging such an elaborate plan, but pissed off muslims are.

Which I disagree with.

is probably one of the only truly great rock stars in the World today. The fact that we're all on here talking about more than just his hair is testament to that. There's so many good and bad points on this thread I'm going to have to read it all again when I've had another cup of tea, but cheers for all the links, that should keep me occupied for a while.

Next week -
Matt Bellamy: "Judas Was Innocent!"

conspiracy theories which clearly have no basis in fact about events which killed thousands of people.

For the simple reason that The US government regularly gets involved in foreign military adventures without needing any kind of excuse like this.

Clinton threw cruise missiles at Afghan camps and African medicine factories because people were talking about his cigar too much...

The Hardly Boys!

Matthew Bellamy is awesome, at any rate. :D
