Why after Communism was clearly falling did our Country prosecute American Citizens for being Communists? To create fear.

Why did our Schools teach children to hide under desks? So we wouldn't forget who the bad guy was.

Why did the American Gov lie about the status of Communism, Russia, and it's war power? To make Americans Unite under a common cause and continue on with the lie.

Why did we lie about terrorists cells within America? Fear...

Why did we lie about dirty bombs? Fear...

Why did we make up a group named Al Qaeda? To create a bad guy.

Why would American attack itself or help attack itself or fake/lie about possible attacks, again? To unite the citizens once again for a common cause that we support without questioning, based on false fears.


That isn't to say we didn't get attacked... the answers to why, the real reasons and our response, the answer to the attack, was and still is complete bullshit.
