"This documentary offers a remarkable insight into the reality of our current fear induced climate. Adam Curtis chronicles the rise of neo-conservatism and the resulting change in the world's political agenda orchestrated by those who place their trust in the philosophical ideal of the necessity of evil to unite a country. The filmmaker manages to successfully pluck apart the myth of the reality of there being a logistically organized terror network, let alone one that is managing to orchestrate terror attacks from a cave in the remote mountains of Afghanistan. His arguments are backed up by some eye opening interviews with authorities on the field of Islamic fundamentalism, members of the US government and members of the US judicial system. These insights are parred with concrete, startling facts and the result is a program that manages to shake us awake making us aware of a far more realistic terror threat namely that of psychological warfare carried out by the powers that be, accompanied by a sensationalist media frenzy. I cannot recommend this program highly enough." -imdb.com

The other thing they gossed over was the whole "9/11" incident. How did a group of young men manage to organize that elaborate of a plan, complete with getting NORAD to stand down?? I suggest that perhaps the Neocons were involved, just like the FBI was involved in the 1994 bombing of the World Trade Center. 9/11 was an inside job. It had to be. There is no other logical explaination for how well it was organized and executed. And what happened to the plane that "Hit" the Pentagon? It "Vaporized"???? But they were able to identify the bodies?? Okay, yeah, that's believable.

I am so embarrassed I fell for this whole line of bull. History will without a doubt shows the morons that we sent to Washington and make decisions for us should be educated elsewhere than our institutions that are putting these oafs in charge. Furthermore, whenever a leader shows this obvious type of stupidity, there should be a runner up in our electoral system for a liberal, conservative or independent to take over immediately. There is no reason to select these people on the merits that they are good bull***ters. Personally I think my cousin Vinnie (see the movie) would have been more qualified. Excellent five star documentary!

EXCELLENT! I DO NOT BELIEVE WE SHALL EVER HAVE PROGRAMMING LIKE THAT HERE IS THE USA. But it just goes to show you an little knowledge is really dangerous, now combine that with belief that one has the absolute truth that no one else has or is against knowing.

The producers must be commended for their fine work, here!!! Their research was thorough and the conclusions they reached are sound. There is, however, one caveat to America's grossly fabricated "war-on-terror" (which the producers forgot to point out) : The "war" was never meant to be "won", only "sustained", so that Carlyle Group and Halliburton shareholders could continue to reap dividends. This whole ugly mess was engineered by-and-for the war "profiteers", many of whom used their "jobs" in the commercial-news-outlets to promote the thing, in the first place. Most of "history" is contrived. There are no accidents....
