The Power of Nightmares

Tonight's post is simply a movie recommendation. I highly recommend everybody watch the BBC three-part documentary The Power of Nightmares by Adam Curtis of the BBC.
(It will take you to a free site where you can view the movie via download or streaming)
This movie has been aired all over Europe and even in the Middle East. Unfortunately, it has not been aired by any of the Big 5 media conglomerates inside the USA. Its a fantastic piece that goes back and looks at the evolution of radical islam and neoconservatism. I think this is a movie everybody needs to see.











Where can I find it??????? Looks cool. Do you ind letting me know?

It certainly is an excellent series. The similarity in rhetoric between the Cold War and the "War on Terror" is chilling.

You do realise that asking users to click on your Google ads violates their terms of service and means they can refuse to pay you, right?

Er... I see you've changed it to "please click on my sponsor's links" - I'm pretty sure that still counts...

The BBC is a leftist propaganda outlet. They are not to be trusted. We dont need more propaganda in the USA either from the right or the left.

The BBC a leftist propaganda outfit, that's a laugh! It is neutral it has to be, it's in the charter However I was going to say "The Power of Nightmares" is a very good series and worth watching you may not agree with everything he says but it is thought provoking.

I'm not surprised that a right winger would take the BBC to be liberal, after all, anything that doesn't kiss the Bush regimje's ass is considered "liberal", eh?
In the 50's they'd call it "communist" or unamerican, now its liberal. Its just another way of making pariahs out of dissenters. Whatever.

The BBC is the only news I have actually watched with any degree of trust for a couple of years now. No network is perfect and all are bound by their management. I think they do a better job than most.

The only reason anyone believes that the media is a leftist outlet is because the conservatives in America and the UK keep SAYING that it is. There are as many rightist nuts in the media and most of the truly "leftist" journalists are afraid to show it for fear of losing their jobs. I wish the Con-Artist Conservatives would learn to put a sock in it.
