Back Home from Iraq with Army grunt-turned-film producer Korey Rowe
By Michael Slenske

Michael Slenske writes SMITH’s Back Home From Iraq column.

“I see myself as a person who’s a buffer between conspiracy theorist and military informant, so I thought my help on Loose Change would make it a better quality piece, something more mainstream people, who aren’t dove into conspiracies, could really watch and take in.”

It took two governors, four Congressmen, three former White House officials, and two special counsels two years to compile. They reviewed over two and half million pages of classified and de-classified documents, consulted 1200 sources in 10 countries, and spent over $15 million of the taxpayers’ money in the process. And on July 22, 2004, the 9/11 Commission issued their final report about the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Is it possible that two twentysomethings from “a small hippie town that time forgot” could undermine that entire effort with $8,000 and a laptop?

Yes, if you ask ex-Army specialist Korey Rowe. The 23-year old from Oneonta, New York returned home from two tours—one to Afghanistan; the other to Iraq—to help his best friends, Dylan Avery (director) and Jason Bermas (researcher), produce the sensational 80-minute, Web-based documentary Loose Change, which seeks to establish the government’s complicity in the terror attacks by addressing some very tough questions: Why wasn’t Ground Zero treated like a crime scene? How did both towers “freefall” to the ground “in 9.2 seconds” in just under two hours? And where are the black boxes from American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175?

While the film is admittedly flawed and draws on some dubious new media sources, including Wikipedia, it’s inarguably sparked a new interest in the “9/11 Truth” movement. Since its April 2005 debut online, Loose Change (the first and second edition) has received over 10 million viewings, it was just featured in the August issue of Vanity Fair, and the final cut of the film is expected to debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January. “I’ve got four movie studios [including Paramount and Miramax] beating down my door to make the final cut,” says Rowe, who’s now got offices from California to London to handle his growing company. Last week SMITH caught up with Rowe—who’s been labeled everything from a traitor to a CIA operative in the past year—to see how he went from protecting the Iraq-Syrian border against Muslim insurgents to a self-described “conspiracy theorist” poised to take Hollywood (and the country) by storm.

Do you work for the CIA?
No, I do not work for the CIA.

Just wanted to get that out of the way. What made you want to join the military?
The fact that I was doing nothing. I was 18; I wasn’t ready to go to college yet. I knew that if I went to college I wouldn’t have spent too much time in class, I would have spent my time partying. . .

Korey Rowe has produced a very fine film, Loose Change, that questions and challenges the 911 Commissions findings. It's been seen by over 10 million viewers, so I thought it was worth TSG seeing it. You can get it here.

Sad that is all a specialst can do is make a fool of himself.

About the only thing it challanges is common sense.......

But there is hope for you yet, xico.
And as you are often interested in medical treatments, you may find promise in this article:

The beauty of mutt and jeff, our two conspiracy theories is their total lack of knowledge. Hydrogen Peroxide as one element of making a bomb. Triacetone triperoxide or TATP can be made from acetone (used in nail polish removers) and hydrogen peroxide (used as an antiseptic when diluted) It has beenusd in past bomb plots----YOu can detonate it from a simple spark from a battery.

If anyone is REALLY interested in learning about this, you should read some of the work by Neal Langerman, president of Advanced Chemical Safety---a consulting firm in San Diego. I doubt our two local whackos will take the time to do so, as they scour the Internet to find proof that aliens have manipulated the British government. Xico and Compushlep are both certifable.

One could make a comment or a joke about Hamlet -- or the Sound of Music, or anything at all -- and LJ will come along, Google something unrelated while having a flashback to another post, and then immediately apply his conspirative label. Sometimes (not always) he will get it in the right thread (not this time).

You are a howl, Linsky ... don't forget to take your meds.

[linskyjack]

Great answer! As usual, when you have been exposed as the totally whacked-out nutjob you are, you respond by not answering! By the way, don't forget to take your meds is a rather unimagniative attempt at a put down. Next thing you know you will be attacking my mother!

There was no question in your post, just more vitriolic mud slinging.
Move on folks, nothing to see here ... just LJ spraying his rabid spittle as usual.

[linskyjack]

Spraying his rabid spittle!!!!!!! How long did it take you to come up with that clumsy attempt at another putdown! Keep it simple---you don't do well with anything to complex. Question--no, just the facts about you and Jeff's bizzare claims about the latest plot in Britain.
Are you that thick?

[compushlep]

Local whackos ... lack of knowledge ... certifiable <-- all come from your unsolicited post about me. Then there are your other derogatory posts that follow, for everyone to plainly see. And you want to talk putdowns ... hmm, looks like cause and effect to me in case you haven't noticed.

ok...well, i actually read the inteview with rowe, and there was a link somewhere to the loose change viewer's guide that stoner posted, so i browsed its cover page, and picked one of the topics at random...

the loose change viewer's guide is a tome....it picks the movie apart minute by minute, and the quality of the research i read about last night on the site far surpasses the quality that is presented in the transcript of the movie

it definately has a sarcastic edge to it (an "i-can't-believe-anyone-would-be-THIS-stupid" edge), and for the failings of rowe and his buds to provide accuracy in its "proofs" and accountability in its "experts", they're deserving of it, imo

which is sad, 'cause rowe himself strikes me as someone who was completely disallusioned about the rightness of bush's cause by his experiences in the mideast

one last observation.....for a guy who isn't interested in the money or the notarity -and just wants the truth to get out- the pic of rowe at the top of his interview is sure one of mr. hollywood.

sorry, xico and compshelp....but my initial reaction is disappointment.

curious to read their analysis of the popular mechanics article, tho -widely thought to be THE definitive pov 'bout the nuts and bolts of 911

[linskyjack]

You are so arrogant that you really think that anyone could give a darn about this moronic thread and your conspiracy theories! As usual, you make absolutely no sense.

For Mutt and Jeff (Compushlep and Xico) the PM article is part of the overall conspiracy. Rather then address the points of the article step by step, they claim that it was written by a relative of Bob Chernoff and thus can't be accurate. The irony is that the article pretty much demolishes their theories (or should I say the theories of the lunatics they cut and past about--they aren't creative enough to come up with their own stuff)!

It's not clear who you're addressing but let's assume it's me. For someone who claims to not "give a darn" you sure are jumpy about this as witnessed by the amount of irate posts you have placed.

What you completely fail to acknowledge, or even recognize, is this:

> I did not start this thread
> I did not say whether I agree with any part of the 9/11 video
> even if I did agree with a few of the points in the video does not mean I support it wholly or unconditionally
> you have absolutely no idea what those points are because I have not mentioned any

You make a lot of assumptions based on NOTHING and then proceed to assassinate what you believe are my beliefs in a most derogatory fashion. The way I see it you have absolutely no leg to stand on and I put you into the same category with others with whom I have no intent to discuss anything on a serious level. Most you will get out of me are retorts to your incessant and obsessive hounding anytime I say something ...

I consider your actions towards me immature at best

[linskyjack]

Hardly irate, you are a great source of entertainment! I love it when you take the high ground---"I consider your actions towards me as immature at best" ----Thats almost as creative as "take your meds". You live in a world of extreme paranoia. You see massive conspiraces behind many innoccous events that most people take lightly. You hate of the establishment is so transcendent, that you can't think logically or even respond to someone when they call one of your pet conspiracy theories into question. You are the forum clown---and thus I enjoy playing you like a cheap fiddle----Heck this is very entertaining.
