I just discovered this.
Looks very interesting.

The Power of Nightmares: Baby It's Cold Outside
Should we be worried about the threat from organised terrorism or is it simply a phantom menace being used to stop society from falling apart?

1. I highly recommend it!
A course study in manipulation of the masses. When you finish with it, watch (or re-watch) V for Vendetta. Same opera, different costume director.

2. I've recommended this to many people.
It details many of the sources of current Neocon and Islamic fundamentalist ideology.

Oh, and the section on William Casey is a must see - if you consider Gates's connection to him.

A great film - it makes otherwise murky connections clear.

4. The Phantom Menace...
One stat that really says it all in my opinion is this-

in the past decade, international terrorists have killed roughly 3,000 people in the U.S., meanwhile- drunkard drivers kill 17,000+ EVERY YEAR in this country...which one poses the greater risk to our society? and there are lots of other deadly menaces besides drunkard drivers- it's just ONE example.

so in reality, where should our money and efforts be prioritized and concentrated?
