But they are the new enemy...
by truth_be_told
Orwell had it right in 1984 that the state will manufacturer an enemy to justify perpetual war, which has the been the plan of the Neo-Cons since they were all at PNAC.
Osama bin Laden is the U.S. version of Emmanuel Goldstein – The number One Enemy of the People according to the Party. He is believed to have written a subversive book and to head a mysterious anti-party organization called The Brotherhood. But instead of being simply subversive (50% of Americans are subversive) they had to cast him as a mass killer, many theories exist that point to the use of 9/11 to prop up bin Laden specifically to create and enemy de jour that we could rally around.
Does anyone have any evidence of an actual terrorist plot prevented since 9/11 ? If so why have we not seen the evidence and perpetrators - I would think BushCo would march them out in front of the cameras for all to see.
