The Power of Nightmares Volume 3 Part 1 of 6

Interesting BBC film concerning the parallel development of modern Islamic radicalism and Neo-conservatism. Details the rise of the latter movement and its masquerade as traditional conservatism to garner support and acquire power. This film also discusses the development of the current Arab political ideology and shows how both movements originated from the same basic philosophy: masses are more malleable when they are living in a constant state of fear.

This is an escallant series. But it leaves at the role Israel plays in how the neocons view the world.

Feel a bit silly for needing to ask but what's the movie they show at the end?

[napalmcoffee]

@hplaserjet2001 I`d say is more like 95 or even 100

@truthtone58 I totally agree, don't let the morons tell you otherwise!

@truthtone58 No. If any objective person goes and does the research themselves, using original sources, etc. - they will come to much the same conclusion.

[truthtone58]

Are these just the new propaganda movies that will breed the next generation of crazy rads that come with guns and violence to help spread more carnage for the normal population? I'm surprized that Micheal Moore isn't narrating them.
