Here's the BBC video: about bush* illusionary Al Queda (link)


This is the POWERFUL video broadcast on BBC in England, that Robert Sheer wrote about in the LA times yesterday....it's well worth your time to see this eye-opening video....


1 hour video....it's a very good documentary....with clips and expert interviews, court documents and more....even touches on the 'cold war' madness/illusions....thanks to all the hard-working Patriots that were finally able to get this up on the Web....watch it now, because it's still FREE....

BBC | November 12 2004

The Power of Nightmares assesses whether the threat from a hidden and organised terrorist network is an illusion. In the concluding part of the series, the programme explains how the illusion was created and who benefits from it

Maybe if you are behind a firewall (at work or whatever) there is an issue with the 6969 port.....

5. Thom Hartmann was just speaking about it
And here's his article on it:

http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1207-26.htm

Published on Tuesday, December 7, 2004 by CommonDreams.org
Hyping Terror For Fun, Profit - And Power
by Thom Hartmann
 
What if there really was no need for much - or even most - of the Cold War? What if, in fact, the Cold War had been kept alive for two decades based on phony WMD threats?

What if, similarly, the War On Terror was largely a scam, and the administration was hyping it to seem larger-than-life? What if our "enemy" represented a real but relatively small threat posed by rogue and criminal groups well outside the mainstream of Islam? What if that hype was done largely to enhance the power, electability, and stature of George W. Bush and Tony Blair?

And what if the world was to discover the most shocking dimensions of these twin deceits - that the same men promulgated them in the 1970s and today?

It happened.

The myth-shattering event took place in England the first three weeks of October, when the BBC aired a three-hour documentary written and produced by Adam Curtis, titled "The Power of Nightmares." If the emails and phone calls many of us in the US received from friends in the UK - and debate in the pages of publications like The Guardian are any indicator, this was a seismic event, one that may have even provoked a hasty meeting between Blair and Bush a few weeks later.

12. here's a good link to all three parts of the series.....(link)
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 04:41 PM by diamond14

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....

14. Those that create Nightmares. Documentary of neocon night life.
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 06:06 PM by darkworkz
If you've watched Power of Nightmares you may be interested in what people like the neocons do after hours.

This information is disturbing and appalling! It has been documented over time by various MSM news sources. Now a video of the neocon night life has surfaced that will educate and inform you of what they do and how they live when the cameras are off.

A warning: There are no graphic pictures in this documentary but there are HIGHLY disturbing descriptions of activities.

This documentary is posted to help tear the veil off the hypocritical front worn by the neocons and expose them to the light of day.

You can't fix the problem if you don't know there is a problem.

Appalling Conspiracy
Of Silence Video Online
From Thrasher
http://www.media-underground.net
1-9-5


Conspiracy of Silence, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3, 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies.

<snip>

At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed.

A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired FBI Agent Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved.

See for yourself...
