Too long... My attention lasted only about 10 min. But of course I have some opinion on the war on terror.Since 9/11 many lives were lost and money spent because of it. We lost some privacy and pay people to humilitate us (TSA). instead of watching our borders we send military to watch Afganistan-Pakistan border. so to us it may seem illogical what our government is doing. But it is logical - it is called "war on terror" but should be called "getting rich guys richer while pretending we fight terror". the point is to sell it to Americans so they will pay in money and lives. What is the video about? |

What is the video about? Posted by Astra2012 Hi Astra2012, It pretty much goes thru a history of events from back in the 30's to 9/11. And it describes how government and mainly the Neocons "invented" Al Qaeda. The war on terror, basically, a "fantasy". |

even Hillary Clinton admitted that our government created alQueida.Now they fight it and cooperate with it in Syria. our government has schizophrenia. unfortunately it is violent. not easy to put it into a strait jacket. |

DEA makes living on drug case. FBI makes living on terror case. Without these cases, they lose value to exist. So if there is none, they create one.
To expand their power, DEA invented "War on drugs"; FBI and Pentagon invented "War on Terror". Under those two wars, drug business and terror activities become prosperous. So are the DEA, FBI and Pentagon. They got fat budget and expanded power - Patriot Act and NDAA. |

Anytime when they need money and power, just activate an terror attack. They got it. Pentagon want a war, FBI want a warrantless eavesdropping power, having a 911 attack, they had it - war on Irag and Patriot Act. |

Pentagon want a war, FBI want a warrantless eavesdropping power, having a 911 attack, they had it - war on Irag and Patriot Act. This time when they want a gun control law to deal with another coming "terror attack", they created Sandy hook shootings. Posted by katsung47 No one created Sandy Hook shootings but you are on track for the rest....I think. There is what is called "The Lucifer Effect" Controlling Lucifer---- There is only one answer: Stop inventing enemies . Once we begin the dehumanization process we lose the global war on terrorism. www.commondreams.org/view/2013/01/31 |

With all due respect katsung, you have no idea what you are talking about regarding the FBI and DEA, trust me. Response to The truth of "war on terror": DEA makes living on drug case. FBI makes living on terror case. Without these cases, they lose value to exist. So if there is none, they create one.
