Fear of terrorism
The politician, small or lofty, who menaces the people with frequent reminders of the possibility of crime, violence or terrorism, and who uses their magnified fear to gain allegiance is more likely to be a successful con artist than a legitimate leader”
———Martha Stout.
Before you even think that I am sympathizing with the terrorists of the world, one must ask who instills more terror in the heart and mind of most people with their proclamations? For me it was never Zarqawi or even Bin Laden. Their tapes are comical at best and neither would have been able to do their dirty deeds without the complicity of some in our government. I don’t know who in our government, but I know the type.
Those with the most to gain are certainly those invested in the oil and defense industries but who also gets a thrill out of dominating. They are ushering in the Project for a New American Century. Better minds than I have pointed this out a number of times. I’ll just link a very interesting and compelling piece written by someone at sign of the times.
It’s not just a war on terror, it is a war on our minds.
