This thread is based on a British Documentray that won the award of best documentray of 2006. The documentray is called the Politics of fear, and it shows how stupid and gulliable the world is when it comes to fear. This could be a long thread, so bare with me.
30 years ago, Politicians were trying to figure out how to make people lives better. Back then there were a lot of ideologies...but it wouldn't last, as they couldn't do everything for their people. Ideology fell across the world and most people now think of politicians as managers, that can only get things done in focus groups.
However, even most ideologies were gone 2 major ideologies still existied, The Islams and the Neo Consevatives in America.
During the 1970's and 80's, The cold war was on, and America was lead by a Liberal leadership that dominated Washington. During the Liberal leadership, some people thought that America was going nowhere, and America stood for nothing. 2 People in Particular thought this. Those 2 people are:
Paul Wolfowitz
Donald Rumsfeld
These 2 individuals were Neo conservatives, or a more accurate term was Democratic Revolutionists. They didn't like the Liberals at all and thought that the Liberals were running America into the ground and making people feel like they were worthless. What they wanted to do, was to make America worth something, make it so that, America, had a important place in the world, and have the power to change the world.
While this was going on in the USA, in Isreal, one Islam extremist knew about the liberalism in America. He thought that this was a corrupt form of government that striped the people of freedom and gave people too much individualism. He believed that if people had to much individualism, the people were to become selfish and in time, the government would fall. What he wanted to do was to prevent this corrupt form of government to come into islam and infect the people.
So he formed a small group of people that would make people see the truth about this American liberalism. He would kill any politician in his country that fell to the corrupt ways of the west. When this happened, he believed that the people would rise up against the liberalism and unite Isreal.
Meanwhile in the USA, the cold war was the main topic. During this time the Liberals were in communication with the Soviets all the time to make sure nothing drastic happens between their countries. The liberals were trying to keep the peace.
The Neo Conservatives however did not like this at all. What they wanted is to unite America. The best way to do this they thought, was to create a distorted image of the Soviets. They would make the people see that the Soviets were a major threat to America and the entire world. They told americans that the Soviets were planning to attack america at any moment. The FBI however said that this was pure fantasy, and there was no such threat to the American people. The Neo Conservatives continued to push their campaign of fear in America, to make the American people see the Soviets as the great evil in the world.
In Isreal, the small group that was formed assinated a leader that listened to american polticians. After the assination, they were arrested. Most of them were executed but a few were sent to prison.
In America the Neo conservatives were pouring fear into the american public with bomb threats and air strikes from the soviet union. Of the course the media took the bait and portrayed the Soviet Union as an evil enemy against America. The liberals and the FBI again said that all that was being said by the Neo conservatives was a myth and didn't exist.
Finally America decided it was going to help Afganistan by drawing out the soviets. Americans poured weapons into Afganistan, taught them how to car bomb (I kid you not), and supplied them with money to help them to draw back the soviets. Eventually the Americans and Islams sent back the soviets, and not to long after that the Soviet Union Collapsed. The problem is Both the Islams and the Americans believed that they were responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. In reality the Soviet union was already in a bad state and was already in the midst of collapse, which was caused by itself.
Because the Islams and Americans believed that they were responsible for the collapse, the both believed they could change the world.
This exact same thing is happening today..and it starts with September the 11th.
September the 11th happened because the Extreme Islams were not getting anywhere by attacking their own people. They thought by attacking the source of the Corruption, the people would see the truth behind the American Liberalism.
This is exactly what the Neo Conservatives needed to target a new evil..and distort reality. After 9/11, America attacked afganistan and caught or killed anyone associated with Terrorism. The american government said that a group called Al Queda was the source of all this terrorism and had groups around the world, ready to strike anywhere at anytime. The Americans said that they were hiding in the mountains of Afganistan, so they sent troops to capture or kill them...the troops found nothing.
Why did they find nothing? Because the terrorist group Al Queda, Does not exist.
Once again the Neo conservatives distorted reality, turning a small thing into a huge evil that does not exist. The truth is 9/11 was caused by a small group of Islam extremists that had nothing to do with Usama Bin Laden. The Neo Conservatives are continuing to find new evils in the world like Iraq. They stated that Iraq had WMD's and the potential to destroy America. When America invaded Iraq to find the WMD's, they found none because the WMD's did not exist.
The whole point for distorting reality, is Power. The Neo Conservatives can do anything they want if they say that something is threating america, that is threating your schools, your kids, your home, and your dreams. Fear is what drives their power. Also it creates a purpose for America. They want America to be the leader against all evil, to make America mean something to the people who live their.
They also used another powerful tool to do this...Religon..mostly the Christian religion. They new that Religon was a powerful tool to perswade people into their ideology.
The only thing that keeps these politicans in Power is Fear. Without Fear, they are nothing. Fear creates the will to make a person believe in the ideology of another.
Terrorism does not threaten the world and it certainly does not threaten America. Most people believe that 9/11 was caused by Al Queda. The reality is Al Queda does not exist, and the people who attacked the World trade center are either dead or in prison. When Politicans run out of things to scare us with, they will have to answer to the Myth's they have created and they themselves have been caught up in.
