Which, I forgot to mention, is what I think this article and this
exhibit are suggesting to us.

We might take a second to stop arguing about whether so and so was
angry when they did/didn't perpetrate some violent act, protest,
etc, and talk about the uses of fear. Who creates fear in the
general public, what purpose does it serve, and who benefits from
the continual paranoia that seems to be an innate part of human
existence.

It would seem that before fear there is ignorance. The religious
are obviously ignorant people and they have created the most fear
in recorded hsitory which has led to the most conflict.... Pinko
leftist are the same...

my dad was angry, unhinged, and indeed was a tit worshiper. what a
lethal combo.

Great article! except for the line: "Mohamed Atta and company may
have been more angry and unhinged by religious zealotry than afraid
when they carried out the World Trade Center attacks" Atta hung out
is strip clubs, was he angry tit worshiper? (and that even assumes
he was who they say he was and involved with 9/11) When are
intelligent people going to begin to see through the 9/11 fairy
tale and quit perpetuating it?

i found the last comment quite funny. I would like to know who this
"we" is?

Why do we believe the people who make up the government are any
less fearful than the rest of us? Aren't we all in this together?

Great Article! Learned alot! Thank you!

Keeping us in fear is the governments tool for stripping us of our
civil liberties. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. never
more true a statement i'd say....thanks for the great writing
Morgan.

Fear is a tool of statecraft, which Americans are mostly completely
ignorant about. Nazi officer Goering said it plainly, at his war
crimes trial: "Naturally the common people don't want war; neither
in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is
understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who
determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,
or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ...Voice or no voice,
the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
Pearl Harbor was provoked by the Roosevelt regime, fact, documented
in Robert Stinnett's DAY OF DECEIT. Stinnet interview:
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=408 9/11 was
clearly allowed to happen, with numerous anti-terrorism
investigations shut down, and a complete cover up and obstruction
of justice to this day. 70 incriminating facts about the 9/11
attacks:

These are the evils of imperial rulers. That, and the lies they
tell which cover their crimes.
