I watched the BBC documentary "The Power of Nightmares" last night |
|
one of my coworkers lent it to me. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.
As I watched the sections on the rise of the neocons in the U.S., starting with the Reagan administration, I kept wondering, why didn't I pay more attention to this stuff back then? Then I realized why, no Internet, no DU, the only information I got was from the MSM, that's how these bastards have gotton by with this crap for so long.
I was especially take aback during the third hour when it discusses that there really never was an Al Queda, it was something the CIA made up so Bin Laden could prosecuted as the head of a criminal organization. Why the hell doesn't the American media ever do reports like this? (Okay, that's more of a rhetorical question).
If you haven't watched this, do so soon.

3. I like how it charts the rise of the neocons and the muslim... |
|
brotherhood as flip sides of the same story, and how the whole muslim brotherhood started when the CIA was torturing Qutb for his political view that liberalism was failed and degenerate... and that the neocrims themselves believe the same thing, that liberalism is failed and needs to be corrupted deliberately with these great myths.
And that video of runsfeld in 1976 selling the weapons the russians' got that we don't know they got... same old shit, for decades, they've been playing us like a con game, and laughing at the stupid mark.

There is so much enlightening information contained in that video, it should be required viewing for every American over the age of 8 years old.

6. yes it was evident but the public is blind |

In fact if you aren't living in the US then you can see what is happening more clearly. Don't believe for one minute that the hierarchy of the Democrats are on YOUR side.
AL Q is made up of patsies who think they are following some islamic jihad movement but in fact they are following Cheney. Yes, Cheney. OMG!
