This BBC documentary reveals and analyzes the fact that al-Qaeda does not exist.
There is no such thing as “al Qaeda”, there is no one on earth who calls himself a member of “al Qaeda”. “al Qaeda” is a term made up by the U.S. government to be applied to anyone killed during in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no formal organization. There is no secret terrorist network.

I remember reading a few years ago that al-Qaeda was in fact an invisible bogeyman fabricated by the U.S., but could never find much about it, so I disregarded it as conspiracy hearsay. A recent documentary special aired in the UK via the BBC goes into depth about it, however. This ten-minute video focuses on the parts regarding the truth behind al-Qaeda. It’s very important, so please watch it and please reblog it.

This documentary, which has aired globally and has even been screened at the Cannes Film Festival, has yet to air in the United States, of course. Writer/producer Adam Curtis had this to say in 2008:
“Something extraordinary has happened to American TV since September 11. A head of the leading networks who had better remain nameless said to me that there was no way they could show it. He said, ‘Who are you to say this?’ and then he added, ‘We would get slaughtered if we put this out.’ When I was in New York I took a DVD to the head of documentaries at HBO. I still haven’t heard from him.”

This is a clip from BBC’s The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of The Politics of Fear

I think this 3-part series is the most important documentary of our time. It’s a must watch. 

The series dissects how the liberal movement failed America and then gave way to the Chicago Neo-Cons to create a fear-based political regime in America while at the same time, a handful of extremists changed the face of Islam through the same fear-based extremism in the Middle East. 

Here’s a link to all three parts:

PART I - Baby It’s Cold Outside

PART II - The Phantom Victory

PART III - The Shadows In The Cave

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, if you want to comment on American and/or foreign politics and you haven’t watched this series, you’re missing out.

FreeDomain Radio’s Stefan Molyneux on the Inevitable Growth of the State

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a anti-government discussion with groups of very smart and very logical people and they agree 100% with everything I have to say until I mention that the final step towards true individual freedom and self-governance is to purge ourselves of the state-run police, military and court systems and that’s when people lose their shit. 

They just can’t fathom how society would function. 

And then I explain how private courts work and how majority of people follow law out of their own morality and not some invisible threat of government enforcement and that those that don’t do it out of morality have or will one day break those laws anyway. I also mention how the United States didn’t have a standing army in 1776 and yet we still managed to defend and defeat and how privately organized people who are well trained would make better soldiers when needed as opposed to young men and women who, for the most part, are coerced into joining the military due to academic short-comings or financial necessity. (I think most people don’t realize how this country has had an “economic draft” in place for a good couple of decades now).  

People especially can’t follow the logic of having privately funded police or emergency services, even when you mention that a large portion of the population employ one of the following; patrolled house alarm, private security, armed guards, armed money transport, bouncer/doormen, etc. 

Statism will live as long as people fail to realize that the services they fear to lose exist due to private individuals and not due to some invisible middle man called Government.
