The Power of Nightmares - 1of3 - The Rise of the Politics of Fear-Baby It's Cold Outside

I love you Adam Curtis for making so much sense out of so much nonsense.

[bootayjam]

Says it all that there are millions of hits on the new dross from lady Gaga and less than 20,000 people have watched this. The war is over, they've won.

[CardinalJunky]

@bootayjam You ARE damn straight. We are distracted on a mass scale. It's scary, but there is no going back. We are past the tipping point. Only revolution will bring about change now.

[David0Karesh]

Leo Strauss and Irving Kristol were subversive jews

[socijalista]

Why every fool on this planet can write a book, and send it in world - wide production?!

[rugbyguy59]

Great video. Absolutely watchable and fascinating. And you just have to love the dancing at the end to "Baby it's Cold Outside" That is priceless!!

[dbsknada]

In what religion do you have the right to kill a person who seeks peace ? Those extremists get on my nerves !

[drimacus86]

People should be ashamed of letting down their own countries this way! Bare in mind that if the jihadists get their hands on the nuclear bomb, they WILL use it. Muslims still live in te middle ages! average book per person : 1 (Koran) . Humanity now needs to succeed in sustainable development, populations grow exponentially and islam, catholics,... cannot stay anylonger praying for god to save them

[snowonweb]

The issue here is that few neocons have enough power to control Fox news media, influence hollywood movies and newspapers. That leads to more and more people actually believing the neocon nonsense. I mean just from youtube comment I see that simple folks or as neocons call them peasants are buying into neocon agenda. People in USA actually believe that terrorism is the worst enemy of USA and that USA is saving the world. I know Europeans get a chuckle out of it.

[chrisrhudy02]

How ironic, ppl in both 'worlds' who were educated , dumbing down society to promote religious and idiological agendas to the ignorant

[fivetonsofflax]

since when are ferries fictional?

[0MoTheG]

I agree with S.Qutb and Strauss but why did they think Religion and Nationalism were the answers. I don't agree that individualism is the same as materialism, vanity, selfishness, intolerance. Why can not Scientific-progress be the common goal for those who need it?

Team-B is like religion "if you can not prove it is not there, then it is there." With that reasoning there are unicorns, ferries and anything else one could come up with.

[ofri75]

Interesting movie... I am always horrified to learn that in Muslim countries killing people is normal, to acheive political goals. They have different morals, and values, and I would never want to be born in Egypt or ANY Arab / Muslim country. Thank god I wasn't!!

[shawnoodles]

@ofri75 Yes but you failed to understand that countries in the middle east weren't always like that. It was a revolutionary process. This documentary also talks about the rising of the neo-conservatives and what their values are. This whole video was about using and killing people to achieve political goals. We're living in a lie here in US and the middle east countries are too. We're both being lied to so we can have war with each other. And Fox news is full of bias neo cons.

[krunchie101]

So in an ironic twist of events they wanted to get rid of ignorant liberal individualism by making ignorant conservative collectivism of good vs evil.

Great....



[benmc16]

repeat a lie enough and it becomes truth = politics

[czure]

Create a Problem, Create the Solution. Rinse + Repeat. Getting really sick and tired of it.

[wickedrums]

Anyone who believes this crap should be institutionalized.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

@wickedrums stupid, ignorant bastard!

[Sllvlloov]

@wickedrums

You should be institutionalized.

[yosharian]

@wickedrums Trolling ftl!

[betatalk357]

Fucking Sayyid Qutb, Rumsfeld, Cheney. All of them wanted to change the world as they see fit, forcing their ideologies onto the American people because "we're too fucking materialistic about our lawns"? Is that why you feel you have the right to murder thousands of people on 9/11, then take away the rights and fredoms of the American people for?

[betatalk357]

Why don't you leave the people of the world the fuck alone and let the chips fall where they may? Muslim Brotherhood and Neo-Cons, pack up shit, go preach your bullshit to someone else, and get the fuck off my lawn!

[wtfbollos]

one of the best documentaries you will ever see! from wiki: "..it argues that the threat of radical Islamism as a massive, sinister organised force of destruction, specifically in the form of al-Qaeda, is a myth perpetrated by politicians in many countries—and particularly American Neo-Conservatives—in an attempt to unite and inspire their people following the failure of earlier, more utopian ideologies."

[KAUzoneify]

finally a worth seeing documentary.............
