The Power of Nightmares is PART III, and a good summary of the other two parts...each part lasts about one hour....
The first two parts (Part I and Part II) include kissinger, rumsfeld, cheney, wolfowitz, pearl, and others, in their early roles (film clips from 1975, etc.) and their philosophies (straussian philosophy learned at U of Chicago, and Harvard). This is juxtaposed with osama bin laden, and his early mentors, and their philosophies....These historical documentaries help show us WHY WE ENDED UP today in this BIG MESS....LOTS of old news reel clips, interviews with CIA/University/Government EXPERTS, filmed statements of wolfowitz, et al, in the 1970's...leading to today....
Part III, we are in contemporary times, the current INSANITY of "searching through Afganistan caves for WMD". AND the TWO philosophies are almost exactly the same (neo-cons and islamic extremists)...and benefitting both sides (actually the same side) of this political spectrum....both include religion (to control the masses), and the feeling that their own ideas are VASTLY SUPERIOR, and each side BELIEVES that they have a MISSION....the MISSION of controlling the other side.....
Wolfowitz-neo-con Straussians believe that they don't need to tell the truth, since their CAUSE is bigger than that....so they LIE to get what they want, and feel justified in their lying...Straussians don't really believe in reaguns American Superiority, OR bush* 'Compassionate Conservatism', but straussians BELIEVE that they can use those ideas (or any other idea) to get what they want, and their lies are justified as a means to their ends....BTW, BOTH reagun's 'American Superiority' and bush* 'Compassionate Conservatism' were deliberate LIES foisted on Americans by the neo-cons, who were able to seize total control of OUR government as a result of 911....
watch all three, while they are still FREE....originally broadcast on BBC as a three part series in Oct and Nov. 2004....
