David Lynch Questioned Reality And The Official 9/11 Narrative
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad, worse than bad.
They're crazy.
I love the great and powerful art.
No wine can come.
You've got to say, I'm a human being.
God damn it.
My life has value.
You have meddled all the primal forces of me, sir.
Don't give yourselves to brutes.
Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives.
Tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel.
Who drill you, die at you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
Showtime!
Showtime!
And now, Reality with Jason Bermas.
And who loves you and who do you love?
Hey everybody, I'm Jason Bermas and usually I'm just asking questions.
But there is no question, there is no doubt that David Lynch and his work was extremely unique, influential, pioneering, and at a time when the media was a much different sphere.
In 2006, and we're going to play the clip here, really, as I'm going to show you, when YouTube was still in its infancy, had been launched less than a year before, certainly was not the thing it is today.
He went on international television and not only questioned 9-11, but had them play excerpts.
Of the documentary film I worked on, Loose Change.
And at that time, when it was difficult enough to question the Iraq War and the motivations of the administration, etc., 9-11 was still extremely taboo.
Now, I will say this.
On the fifth anniversary of 9-11, we had gained a ton, a ton of momentum, right?
At the same time, I knew that that was a marker.
And no matter who came out and said what, unfortunately, we really lost an opportunity to get any kind of semblance of justice on that event.
And unfortunately, still to this day, when we're talking about, you know, plea bargain deals with people that were in Guantanamo Bay, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the two others, and, you know, clearly connected to Al-Bayoumi, who's not just a Saudi national, also connected to the CIA. When you look at Al-Madar, living with...
Renting from an FBI asset.
I mean, you keep going and going and going.
The training of those individuals on U.S. bases, each layer of that story demands questioning.
Demands it.
Okay?
So we lost David Lynch today.
And kind of ironically, for me anyway, one of the things I've never seen from Lynch is probably what he was most popular for.
Or known for in my generation.
And that was Twin Peaks.
I've never watched Twin Peaks, the show.
I did watch one of the Twin Peaks movies that he put out there.
Which was Twin Peaks Firewalk With Me.
Now, just before I start getting into his films, and he only made a dozen films.
I'm going to show you the ones that really did have an impact on me.
We're also going to play the clip of Lynch on this show, questioning 9-11 and playing parts of Loose Change so you can see firsthand what he found most interesting.
But once again, David Lynch right here.
Again, dead at 78. Sad to see anybody go.
Certainly lived, in my opinion, a full life.
You know, by his own terms.
So, let's start talking movies for a second.
I've always told people that, you know, now, maybe, if I watch 10 movies a year, that's a lot.
I probably watch about 5. TV shows, they're not really there.
I'm obviously not obsessed with sports other than MMA, which honestly...
I'm catching less of the peripheral events, even though there are less of them on.
There's just so many UFCs, and sometimes I'm catching them on the replay.
I've got to catch up on my Ryzen.
I used to be a really big film buff, and I've discussed this before with the audience, but I know there's some brand new ones, and just kind of talking about nostalgia.
Several of my friends, their families, own video stores.
The old VHS, long before the DVD. When I was a kid, growing up.
So kind of right from the time I was 12 years old up until graduating from high school at 17 for five years, I had access to a crazy library of movies.
And I would catch...
A ton of that's how I got turned on to A Clockwork Orange before I could understand it and Kubrick.
You know, you'd look at the art, you'd read it.
There'd maybe be a buzz in a magazine you were reading and you'd check out a lot of these movies.
And David Lynch, you know, amongst so many directors, took so many chances and did so many things surreal.
He was into Transcendental Meditation.
He questioned reality.
And his movies often, you know, portrayed a very outward surreal reality where characters would just change.
The actor would change.
There's no explanation whatsoever.
There's a time before that where some of his stuff is, I would argue, a little bit more linear.
And then by the end with, like, Inland Empire.
It's like a surreal commentary piece, which most of his movies are.
So let's look at some of them right now.
Let's talk about a few, and then we're going to go down the line.
First one I'm going to talk about is Lost Highway.
And the reason I bring this one up is because it was very like David Lynch sold on the MTV generation.
Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails, had done a single called The Perfect Drug for it.
Big into Nine Inch Nails.
In fact, I just heard they're touring.
I've never seen them.
One of the few bands that's still around that I'd like to.
Probably going to check that out.
But this movie, again, a lot of surreal aspects.
Tries to tell a somewhat linear story.
Interchangeable characters.
Interesting film.
Not one of my favorites, but definitely from my era.
And one that was memorable to me.
Mulholland Drive.
A lot of people think that this one is his opus.
And a lot of these take place in California and L.A., right?
A lot of commentary.
This is a time period piece, etc.
You know, Mulholland Drive is a very, very good movie, even though, obviously, a lot is left to the perception of the individual watching it.
But that's...
Vintage Lynch, right?
That's like the whole Twin Peaks deal.
Eraserhead.
Like the ultimate and weird that gets him noticed.
Right?
And this is like art house picture numero uno down the line.
You know, it's one of those things that at the time, nothing resembled it in any type of media whatsoever.
Now...
This one here, I'm going to get into two of probably the most impactful films.
This one here might be his best film.
And one of the reasons I'm saying that, The Elephant Man.
Let's get a nice zoom in on that.
Let's get a nice zoom in on The Elephant Man over here.
When I saw this movie as a kid, and I was a young kid, and you're kind of...
Talk about...
Learning people are different, right?
And what it must feel like to be totally and completely isolated from the rest of the planet.
This movie did that.
This movie really tells the story of an individual.
I'm a man.
I'm a human being.
You know, you listen to the intro.
I am not an animal.
I'm a human being.
I am a man.
And if you've never seen...
Elephant Man?
It's funny because I saw this as a much younger kid and then there was a film out there in the 80s with Cher and Eric Stoltz called Mask where it was the same kind of like, you know, deformation.
And basically, you know, that was a movie that's very emotional and tough to watch.
This, in my opinion...
It just blows it out of the water.
And as good as Mask is, this is the one.
And then, we're going to get to this one right here.
Dune.
Dune, baby!
A lot of people forget that he did the Dune in the 80s, which, out of everything he ever did, this probably was the most linear you could follow its story.
A lot of weird, gross-out moments.
A lot of big set-piece puppet-type special effects for the time.
It's post-Star Wars.
You look at a lot of the graphics now.
I haven't seen the new Dunes that are supposed to be masterpieces or whatever.
A lot of people knock Lynch for this movie.
I thought it was creepy and weird as a kid.
This was another one that was very...
You'd see it on WPIX. It's long.
It's very memorable to me.
So, really quickly before we play Lynch, questioning 9-11, when we talk about him questioning reality, all this stuff, really question reality, in my opinion.
So, I'm not saying that these are red, because I definitely don't think Dune is his worst picture.
Like, again, I get it.
It got shot all over.
I honestly...
I think it's an interesting take.
I'll be honest with everybody.
Never saw The Straight Story.
Wild at Heart.
Here is one that I saw.
Again, I told you I had access from 12 to 17. Well, this is like a semi-raunchy, weird sex romp with Nick Cage, who at the time, I mean, in 1990, he starts becoming maybe like the biggest actor out there.
By the mid-90s, he's completely exploded.
He's in action movies.
He's doing the art movies.
He's in things like The Rock.
He's playing like a destitute alcoholic and leaving Las Vegas.
I told you I was a film nerd, everybody.
Lost Highway.
Again, 97. So this is like the end of high school, end of college for me.
Robert Blake is in this one.
You know, so is Robert Loggio.
Like I said, it has a very creepy feel, but it is also kind of all over the place.
Elephant Man might be number one for me.
We just discussed it.
If you haven't seen it, really a must watch.
So, you know, they do the Twin Peaks movie or series era, right?
I mean, I don't know if that's like fair to put it in here, etc.
I've never seen it.
I can't make comments on it.
But I can say I saw Inland Empire.
And this thing is just like a total and complete psychedelic fest.
I don't know how else to describe it.
It starts to tell a story that you think you're going to be able to follow in the very beginning.
And then, I think it's like two and a half hours.
It kind of goes off the rails into all these different styles.
There's some interesting cameos.
Again, Eraserhead is a big art house film.
Firewalk with me.
You know, again, not being a fan of the show and just kind of watching.
This was the big reveal of who killed Laura Palmer.
As far as like a Lanier movie, with only a little bit of weirdness also, again, I haven't watched the series, but yeah, there wasn't...
You know, there were things that went back to the show and callbacks and that type of thing.
But this was definitely a plot you could follow.
Blue Velvet.
Now, this is like the hardcore 80s where, you know, he's kind of telling these weird noir stories.
We talked about the Nick Cage one being kind of sexually charged.
This certainly has that element to it as well.
Again, never watched Twin Peaks The Return.
When that came back on.
And they give Numero Uno to Mulholland Drive, which is, you know, an excellent film.
Alright.
Thumbs it up.
Subscribe, share.
We're about to play this 9-11 clip.
Again, I haven't plugged the old buy me a coffee.
Please consider 5, 10, 15 bucks to support me.
The links are down below.
We're going to try to get re-monetized.
I just heard Jay Dyer got re-monetized.
I'm not holding my breath, but we'll do it here live.
In a video with the application.
So everybody can see it.
That would be a huge thing if we were able to do live streams.
We'd probably do a lot more AMAs, etc.
And that would be an opportunity really not to be competitive in this space.
But at least some type of growth.
Like I said, we just lose subscribers on YouTube.
Another reason to follow over on X. Come on, X. Where this is also streaming live right now.
Alright, let's get into it.
This is David Lynch questioning 9-11 as they play excerpts of Loose Change.
And again, thank you, Mr. Lynch.
Thank you, sir, for not only questioning this event, but also helping to promote our work and some of the questions we were asking.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The theory about Marilyn Monroe is relatively small, but it is a theory of conspiracy.
There also are conspiracy theories of huge proportions.
And you suggested we show a clip of the documentary Loose Change by Dylan Avery.
And it was a film that has been watched by 10 million viewers because you could see it through the internet.
No charge.
And the film sums up in a way that all the theories about US government having planned the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center.
But let's first watch it.
In all the videos of the collapses, explosions can be seen bursting from the building 20 to 30 stories below the demolition wave.
Here.
And here.
How many friends have you seen?
Etienne Sare was filming her documentary, World Trade Center, the first 24 hours, and caught both collapses on tape.
Watch carefully.
The tripod shakes 12 seconds before the North Tower begins collapsing.
and something is knocked off the right-hand side of the building.
You're probably asking, if there were bombs in the building, how would they get in there without anyone noticing?
Whenever this evidence is presented to people, you'll usually get one of many different questions.
The first one being, if different planes were used, what happened to the original ones?
Unfortunately, we may never know what really happened.
But if we could examine the black boxes from the planes that were used, we could prove that they weren't the original flights.
A commercial plane carries two different black boxes.
Each black box carries one of two different recorders, a cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder.
The cockpit voice recorder records sounds from inside the cockpit, including engine noise, stall warnings, and other sounds of interest.
Communications between air traffic control, weather briefings, and conversations between pilots and crew are also recorded.
The flight data recorder records at least 28 different parameters, such as time, Altitude, speed, and heading.
Some also record more than 300 other in-flight characteristics, anything from autopilot to smoke alarms.
The recorders themselves are made from the most impervious metals known to man, and the information is recorded along with date and time, and spooled into a continuous roll.
Any damage that is done to the roll is done to the outside, as opposed to the inside where the data is.
The 9-11 Commission says that CVRs and FDRs from American 11 and United 175 were not found.
Yet, the FBI claims to have found the passport of Satam al-Sakami, which managed to fly out of his pocket, through the explosion, and onto the streets of Manhattan below.
So, four different black boxes, made from the most resilient materials known to man, were destroyed.
Yet, a passport...
Made from a fragile material known as paper?
Managed to survive?
Who writes this stuff?
Ted Lopatkowicz, spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, told CBS News that it's extremely rare that we don't get the recorders back.
I can't recall another domestic case in which we did not recover the recorders.
Turns out Ted's right.
Nicholas DeMassi, a firefighter who helped the recovery efforts claims in the book, Behind the Scenes, Ground Zero.
At one point, I was assigned to take federal agents around the site to search for the black boxes from the planes.
There were a total of four black boxes.
We found three.
I guess it all comes down to who you'd rather believe.
What do you think?
Do you think it's convincing what they tell in the film?
It's not so much what they say.
It's the things that, you know, Make you look at what you thought you saw in a different light.
And those things for me that bother me is the hole in the Pentagon being too small for a plane, the lawn isn't messed up, and the government's not showing the plane hitting when many cameras photographed it.
At the World Trade Center, three buildings came down Like demolition, and two of them were hit by a plane, but the third one, they said, do you want us to pull it?
And they pulled it, and it looked just like the other two.
Those things bother me.
In Pennsylvania, the plane that went down, there was just a hole in the ground.
There wasn't any wreckage.
There wasn't any skid marks.
There wasn't any tear in the earth.
And no one's ever really found out about...
That.
So every place there's questions coming from this documentary.
And you don't have to believe everything in the documentary to still have questions come up.
And you look back and you remember what you saw and what you were told, and now you have questions.
And the event itself, did it change your life or did it change your view?
Now it's just an event that has many questions and no answers.
And the suggestion that the American government is behind it?
That's too big for people to think about.
It's too big.
It's too big.
Even to this day, you know, it's too big.
For many people to acknowledge, it's not just the government, right?
You know, it is an international intelligence operation that brought us 9-11.
Now, I will say this.
There are plenty of people that have awoken to some of the behind-the-scenes thing that happened via globalism after the COVID-1984 nightmare.
That's for sure.
But there are too many people that got on A hopium train of human nonsense and, you know, white hats.
And over time, this has legitimized ideas like Guantanamo Bay.
Oh, people are being protected or throw them in Gitmo.
No, we wanted to get rid of Gitmo and Abu Ghraib and black sites.
And, you know, I'm going to be honest, it'll air tomorrow.
I interviewed this woman, Claire Lopez, former CIA field officer today.
And I think I've interviewed her before, but shorter on another thing.
She frightened me.
I'm just going to be honest.
These people's perspective, people will say, oh, you didn't push back hard enough, Jason.
I wasn't there to push back.
I was there to see her assessment and what she thinks.
And look...
We're talking about a neocon 2.0 perspective with a lot of these people that have favor in this incoming administration.
So listen, I still have hope.
I want to see this ceasefire really go through.
At the same time today on Blinken, and we'll probably end up doing a video on it tomorrow, in Blinken's final press conference, Sam Husseini, who we've had on the show, we've got to get back on the show, is dragged out.
And Max Blumenthal of the Gray Zone, he tells it like it is.
He's like, yo man, you're part of genocide.
And I want all that to stop.
And I think that's too big for people.
That the United States is aligned with that.
And I'm not sitting here, I can't tell you, I'm not like, ooh, Israel is like the root of all evil.
Our policies do the same damn thing in other nations too.
It might not be as up close and personal, but I don't like it.
Same with the alliances in Europe.
You know, I mean, this person is like so pro-NATO and down the line on Ukraine and the whole thing.
I want out of NATO. I want out of the UN. I want this trash to stop.
You know, we got to get into a reality.
And maybe you do that by looking at the surreal.
And that's one of the things that David Lynch was so damn good at.
And one more time again, you can check out other stuff where he questions it.
That was the big, wow, thank you, David.
David Lynch never contacted us.
And it just shows that at this point, more and more people realize that we were lied to on a massive scale on that event.
They still haven't accepted it fully.
And even, unfortunately, some people who have really accepted it, for some reason, they still have this idea that the Muslims are coming to get us.
Look, those regions have conflict.
They're probably going to continue to have conflict throughout history.
There's always going to be some type of conflict.
And I can only hope that these people don't, when I say these people, the people at the top for a vision of humanity that really is transhuman and then post-human, on the road to that is full collectivism of whatever's left of the scraps of humanity.
That one world, one idea vision.
No thank you.
I want to keep my free thought.
I want to keep my free will.
I want that surreal experience and almost nobody brought it to you like David Lynch.
So thank you, David.
Folks, you know the drill.
Give me a follow over on X where we have some growth but not really.
Again, none of these platforms are monetized.
We're going to swing for the fences and try to get re-monetized on YouTube.
Do a video on that.
Please consider the donation.
There are other links other than the Buy Me a Coffee.
I do want to thank everybody who's not only done that, but shared the links, told people about the show, watched the documentaries, Loose Change Final Cut, Fabled Enemies, Invisible Empire, New World Order Defined, and Shade the Motion Picture.
They have free or charge.
I want you to share them as well.
And I think that those things have aged extremely well.
I am not a fine wine connoisseur, but I am a sharp cheddar man.
And if you can get yourself a Wisconsin 17-year-aged sharp cheddar, all right, guys, you know the drill.
It's not about left or right.
It's always about right and wrong.
I love y'all.
