"For a society that values nothing, fear is the only agenda.”
This line, delivered at the end of the Nightmare series, says it all. The systematic fear that has been instilled into the American
people has made TERROR the ultimate buzzword of this generation. A lot of
elements of the third “Nightmare” installation hit me hard since I was alive
and at a very impressionable age when 9/11 happened.
It is clear that those
with the darkest imaginations become the most powerful people in America. They
are the ones who come up with the “Preventive Paradigm,” imprisoning people
based purely on speculation, or the “Precautionary Principle,” claiming that action taken against a place or person without evidence of their wrongdoing is still
justified.
Once
again, we were chasing after a phantom enemy, this Al Quaida NETWORK that did
not exist! We were not willing to admit that perhaps the 19 hijackers on 9/11
were working on their own terms and for their own reasons, not based in a group
that spanned across 60 countries, as Bush’s administration continually emphasized.
Volume 3 of "Nightmares" is disturbing by the nature of its material. All along, there was a desire by the leaders in America to have terrorists, so they filled in the blanks and convinced everyone of this overwhelming threat. It turns out that most of it was rubbish. As the film points out, the last 30 years in politics have been a recovery from a time when they were actually meant to help people. At this stage in the game, they are simply a form of manipulation.
