The Politics of Fear

An amazing find over at Information Clearinghouse via a reader who's site Palitone Press is a good read and worth a visit.. This documentary by the BBC, "The Power of Nightmares" is done in three parts, and is about the "new strategy of terror". Each part is an hour long and well done.

Clearly, our government is trying to scare us. Everytime Bush has a drop in the polls or Democrats get a positive bump, a 'new' terror alert raises the threat level. I posted a bit on this a a while ago. Keith Olbermann did a terrific piece, "The Nexus of Politics and Terror" on his show about the shocking 'coincidental' correlation between these events since 9/11. I give you 13 minutes of Keith Olbermann. Then watch the BBC film. You will be more informed if not changed by the experience.

The Nexus of Politics and Terror



The Power of Nightmares Part One, "Baby It's Cold Outside"



This is a powerful documentary. Please comment, tell me what you think, what you took away from the viewing. Link this this; spread it around. We only have eachother. In light of the propaganda BushCo is gearing up to trot out before the upcoming election, it is crucial that we counter this undermining of our Democracy.

The latest salvo in this cultural war for world domination, is the new 'docu-drama' that ABC Television is planning on broadcasting next week. According to sources, this propaganda was written by a conservative friend of Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh also serves as narrator for this film that in essence blames Bill Clinton for 9/11. Read all about it over at FireDogLake. There are links aplenty and info to find out what we can do to stop this madness.

I believe this is the most important election of our times. The neo-cons are following a script. A well thought out strategy designed and implemented over more than a generation. The criminal neo-cons in Washington are scared, sick, crazy, men. Men with a tremendous amount of power. What you do about it is up to you.

Thank you for the compliment and the promotion, Swim. It is truly appreciated. I may have to consider updating more often now. ;-)

Some people can write masterpieces with very little effort. I need to rewrite my entries repeatedly, seemingly for days before I am even remotely satisfied with the rough draft (ha). That said, I shall try my best to keep updating. Thank you, again.

Oops...

As for "The Power of Nightmares," it was such an intensely frustrating/rewarding experience for me that I have, as yet, been unable to watch parts 2 and 3. One of these days, I will find the strength to frustrate myself again. Sometimes, being right is not as fulfilling as one might think.
