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 clip]

    The neo-conservatives accused the people, pointing out that failure to rise up (to support the impeachment of Bill Clinton) was evidence of their moral corruption.

    [The clip before this one - Part 5 - from 3:38]

    The revolutionists accused the people, pointing out that failure to rise up (to support overthrowing the government and establishing a true Islamic state) was evidence of their corruption.

    // paraphrased to underline the strong analogy

  • yeah ofcourse Clinton was a sociopath and the perfect people to diagnose him as one are a bunch of nuts who have been creating invincible and fictional enemies for years to control everyone and eventually start believing their own fiction.

  • @generalg12 This is the music stolen from the movie The Thing and should be removed according to ACTA.

  • I stopped watching wondering what would remain without the music...way too good.

  • @RJWooller After Obama? Are you joking? The guy is a terrorist.

  • The music is epic in this!!

  • Bill Clinton is after Obama my favourite politician.

  • Thanks for posting!

    It's the kind of historical insight and interpretation you normally only get through the passage of decades. Yet the filmmaker achieves has this rare ability to see the real forces involved and express the bigger picture- especially when you compare it to how these events have been presented to us through the tv news and press even now. 

  • @j3parrots That only applies if you accept the premise of the film. I think this contains a lot conspiracy thinking. It's pretty ridiculous.

  • Project for the Nre American Century , America would need a new Pearl Harbor 

  • Democrats and republicans are merely personality types, whose political views are representations of there wants, needs, and fears.

  • @bulgeland4 that doesn't mean it isnt true. Dispute the facts, not the motives. Motives are open to interpretation, facts are facts.
