It's called "The Power of Nightmares", it's a BBC expose on the roots of neoconservatism and jihad

4. Bookmarked. Thank you. n/t

[DS1]

12. There's a lot of information here

Thanks for watching. The first part is longer than 20 minutes, my mistake, but sit back and watch it all. It's worth everyone's time.

[Emillereid]

6. I have a DVD copy of it that I ordered from England - it is incredibly powerful.

The producers have tried to get it played on American TV but to know avail. It's a BBC production and has played everywhere else - but even PBS or HBO won't touch it.

[DS1]

13. Of course they won't

:hi:

[chatnoir]

9. Saw it long ago. Thank you.

:kick:

[DS1]

[DS1]

16. Looks good, thanks!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

18. "The Century of Self"

Fantastic.

[DS1]

21. Watching now

Outstanding. Where is OUR BBC?

[krkaufman]

17. I'll recommend all 3 parts, as well.

It's not perfect, but it provides a fantastic background on the birth of militant Islam and the neo-cons.

[Sunnyshine]

19. Very thought provoking and a shock to one's comprehension of world affairs.

It is must see, and time well invested to further our understanding of how to counteract their subservient version of freedom.

[DS1]

20. Indeed it is

I hope this gets kicked after I go to bed, because it really lays it all out, and why we have to fight against the neo-cons.

[Sunnyshine]

23. K&R- Sweet dreams for everyone who actively works to acquire peace and prosperity for humanity.

Goodnight.

[DS1]

24. It might be hard to sleep after seeing these

but people should watch them anyway

[mhatrw]

22. That deserves a few recs. n/t

[Agent William]

25. ...

I'm putting this on my to watch list.

Wow, BBC for the win!

[DS1]

29. BBC rocks

that's a shameless kick

[Az]

26. K & R

This not only shows the NeoCons for what they are but it ties them to the same mentality behind the terrorist faction of radical Islam. Strong stuff.

[DS1]

30. Yes, it's a slap in the face for some

Definitely strong stuff

[redqueen]

27. Thanks...

bookmarking now to watch tomorrow night.

K&R

[gateley]

28. Kick!~

[merh]

31. K&R&B

I'm watching one now, well, listening as I type.

thank you for the links

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Much better than I expected. Part 1 is one hour.

A good perspective on Leo Strauss / Irving Kristol and Khoutub. Touches on slow dancing, lawns, Perry Mason, Sadat, Kissinger, Rumsfeld, Khomeini, Al Zwaheri, Reagan. Shows how the NeoCons deluded themselves by buying into CIA fake propaganda falsely linking the Soviet Union to terror groups.

[BelgianMadCow]

33. That was one hour VERY well spent - recommended

and on to part 2 for me.

Michael Ledeen, Wolfowitz, Perle, Cheney...and "freedom on the march", Citibank in Egypt. My my and all of that when I was born...
This documentary would be nicely accompanied/complemented by a lecture of Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine.

Thanks for the pointer DS1, I neglected history in my teens but not anymore.

[BelgianMadCow]

37. Still time to recommend!

This series gives the necessary context to 9/11 press for truth which you should see here:

[BelgianMadCow]

38. And after hour three... even this long time DU reader is astounded

and challenged in his basic beliefs.

[BelgianMadCow]

40. "the consuming self" as a way to manufacture consent...

hence, my cry "I will not be controlled by "desires"" - see my latest journal entry.

I'm really indebted to the people in this thread for strengthening my conviction of "wanting out".

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. I'll see your "Power of Nightmares" and raise you a

"Century of the Self". I have both at home and they're amazing.
