The threat of terrorism is nothing new. It's just the newest thing they use spread mass fear, which the media is more than happy to spread for them. Before terrorism it was communism. Terrorist cells have existed for decades, but it wasn't until this past decade the government decided to use it as an excuse to strip us of our freedoms. Right after 9/11 the government passed the Patriot Act. Which is ironic, because it is the exact opposite of patriotic. I think I'm safe to assume that most people reading this blog know what the patriot act is, but in case you don't here is a link:
(the patriot act allows the government to tap your phone, read your emails, access your bank account, and a whole mess of other privacy intruding acts, without warrants)
Anyway, back to the original topic. The government funds and supports terrorists and then turns around and uses terrorism to strike fear into us. Why do they want to strike fear into us? Because a fearful person is a submissive person, and a submissive person allows you to do whatever, as long as they think it's going to keep them safe. There is no way that they would get away with all the laws they are passing if we had nothing to "fear". But, because the american people are in fear, they simply believe the government when they say they are just passing these laws to "protect us from terrorism" When in all reality the only thing we really have to fear is fear itself.
Here are some relevant links that give more details.
