Whats with all the 9/11, terra terra tv shows??
Has anyone else noticed these things? Even channels like National Geographic are running programs on these topics. I know the 5th anniversary is coming up, but last time I checked September 11 is two weeks away.

I even flipped on CNBC and they had some guy blabbering on about airport security and how bad it is. To me it appears a full out campaign to keep the sheeple scared out of their mind, and that Osama is gonna pop out of their kitchen sink is in effect. Anyone else feel this way?

1. I think it is to detract from first Katrina anniversary
I even saw a show last night on TWA Flight 800 - talking about terror.

2. You nailed it the first time.
The 5th anniversary is coming up, and they're advertising their shows on it, and they need to show the commecials enough that you'll want to thee their show and not some other channel's.

Occasionally, it really is just that simple.

3. But a lot of the shows are on now too
I flipped on National Geographic, and they had some show on about #2 bad man Al-Zaqari in Iraq. Of course during the commercials they were pimping their other shows about terror. It just seems like the last week or so there has been a big push to bring out the fear once again. In fact it all seemed to get kicked off with a bang after the "foiled" liquid bomb plot.

22. Kinda Funny That The "MSM" Is Spinning That *'s Poll Numbers Are"Up",
isn't it? If indeed they are up, KKKarl's plan seems to have been ratcheted up before these vital fall elections.
After all, I'm sure the repugs know that thay can't lose this fall or it will be the end of the road. These elections are the end game, they know it and so do we.

4. Two things
The anniversary and the campaign of fear (not to mention ratings). A fear induced society is the easiest to control.

5. To keep fear on our minds.
GOP does well on that and Carl said it was what they would run on. And since all those 'liberals' own so much or the news and Tv they play along. Get the Iraq war off and what we must fear on.

6. There is also a spike in interest
because after 5 years more people are starting to want to talk about 9-11. It took that long for the shock & awe to wear off and for it to be okay to ask questions.

8. Yes. Wait until additional 9/11 info comes out, then watch the TV go nuts
Once a few key people start to talk, 9/11 will come back to the greater American consciousness with a vengeance.

This ain't going to fade away like O.J.

16. That's what I'm thinking
Their timing on this is way off, it's going to make an opportunity to ask questions that we didn't ask before, when this was new.
If we don't have this turned on it's ear by the third week of October, then we deserve the coming dictatorship.

13. It's Nicolas Cage,...
...and since I'm sure you haven't seen it, you should keep your uninformed, faith-based opinion to yourself.

12. Smoke and Mirrors
It is the anniversary of the Katrina debacle plus there is an election coming up and the regime actually thinks they did a great thing after 9/11.
After all they attacked a sovereign nation under the pretense they had something to do with 9/11.

18. It's terrorism, plain and simple
They are using FEAR to get people to support the dismantling of America.

Same as preachers use FEAR to get people to go to church.

It's all about terrorism. Keep the flocks afraid of brown men, weed smokers, and fictional characters from ancient plays.

19. As soon as the planes hit...
every single seedy son of a bitch started thinking about how he could make money off of the thing. Some of them started early, like CBS and George Bush. Some figured they'd wait about five years or so.
