The Power of Nightmares - parts one  two & three - one hour each, Google videos

Funny and pointed observations on the similarity of the Neocons' and Islamist Fundamentalists' perceptions and how they feed off of each other. The videos also explore the Neocons' use of the "fear of terror" to obtain and maintain power.

The videos offer some insights into the "stated" reasons for what motivates both groups and are probably a more accurate representation of the real underlying motives of the Islamists than that of the Neocons.

The videos do not however "follow the money".  Nor do they explore PNAC, the Kunduz airlift, bin Ladens stay in the Sudan, many of the attacks like the Cole bombing etc., the support the Mujahideen received in Yugoslavia nor the financial, political, military, and intelligence relationships between the CIA, ISI, other Middle Eastern governments or the political elites involved.  But they're fun to watch.

And this is the result....Boost for anti-terror laws after warning

Just like in the videos.

And as the videos above demonstrate and as so many of us have witnessed, our "mass media" for the last five years has engaged in a concerted effort on behalf of our glorious elites to spread enormous amounts of fear through the use of baseless terrorist warnings, false information, unsubstantiated rumors, pure fiction and rank speculation about the methods, types and number of possible terrorist attacks.

Also as the videos reveal and as we've recently witnessed, our “mass media” has reported on a plethora of supposed "terrorist" groups that turned out not to exist at all, except in the fevered imaginations of our "dear" leaders.  Worst than that some of the groups that actually did exist - the Miami Seven for example - were brought together and deliberately encouraged by their "law enforcement" informant to engage in the very terrorist actions they themselves are accused of planning.

Even worse than that, on 9/11 the US government conducted an amazingly coincidental series of exercises very similar to the attacks that actually occurred.  A similarity which caused such enormous confusion that it resulted in all of the US fighter jets being unavailable to intercept the passengers planes on 9/11.  Astonishingly enough an identical situation happened during the London bombings.  On the very day the London attacks took place, London's finest were conducting a series of exercises simulating of all things an attack on the London subway, this on the very day it actually took place.

"Distracting activities" such as wildly inflating terrorist threats to justify spending increases or the passage of repressive legislation, false accusations of innocents, baseless terrorist warnings,  law enforcement actions designed to encourage people to engage in terrorist activities, spreading false rumors, disinformation and false intell, much less "coincidently” conducting exercises which happen to be identical to the terrorist attacks on the day they occur, could be considered irresponsible by some observers.

However if the ongoing continuation of these "distracting activities"  were to enable one of the few real terrorist groups out there to successfully carry out another attack, many observers would conclude that such "distracting activities" are much worse than simply irresponsible.

Perhaps they should be discontinued.

Feds arrest 3 in alleged JFK airport terror plot
OH MY GAWD !!! - The terrorists are out to get us all, admittedly "the plot never got past the planning stages"
and "officials told NBC News the alleged conspirators never acquired explosives, never had a definitive plan, and no attack was ever imminent. In fact, two federal officials described the group as long on anger but short on everything else. authorities said." and "the alleged mastermind of the plot, looked for others to work with him and that one of the first people he turned to, unbeknownst to him, was an FBI informant. So, officials say, the FBI has been aware of the plot since its earliest stages." just like all them other plots. (except for 9/11 of course).

Imagine that of all the people in the world, "one of the first people he [the mastermind] turned to" was an FBI informant.  Can you believe that, the way it keeps happening over and over and over again?  How these plots seem to start just as an FBI informant is there "to turn to".

WOW ain't those FBI guys really, prescient - to see the future through their magical crystal ball and be there BEFORE THE PLOTS ARE EVEN HATCHED!!

Dang they’re so smart! - mpg

A Republican State Party Chairman Wishes More Terrorist Attacks on U.S. to Prove George W. Bush "Right"
A quote....

"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country,"    -    Dennis Milligan - Chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party

Don't worry Dennis....Bush and the Neocons are well aware that another "New Pearl Harbor" event is in the works  right now.  -  mpg
