In this disturbing new TED Talk published yesterday, investigative journalist Trevor Aaronson details how the FBI manufactures “terrorists” in the United States of Empire by preying on mentally ill and unstable Arab American men. A “must watch” for any thoughtful citizen interested in how the U.S. military/industrial/terror complex actually works to create a climate of fear and repression, as well as justifying the massive post-9/11 transformations that have destroyed the U.S. republic: the USA PATRIOT Act, Homeland Security, massive NSA surveillance, the launching of the “Global War On Terror” (GWOT), and the aggressive sequential series of wars that the United States is now waging in battlegrounds across the world. Connect the dots, dear readers. Free Vermont, and long live the Untied States!
