"The sustainability of our investments depends on the sustainability of terror — or at least the fear of terror.

Without a major terrorist attack, markets can expect an infusion of $178 billion by 2015, according to HSRC. But with a major attack in the U.S., Europe or Japan, the global security market could increase to $730 billion.

Maybe this, and not global warming, is how the world ends — terrorism and capitalism colliding in an explosion of irony.

Capitalism, the only system that respects the individual, and terrorism — an instrument of pathological individualism — are locked in a circular co-dependency without a foreseeable cure." Kathleen Parker.
What a thought provoking article. Without attacks, $178 B. With attacks, $730 B. That's a couple hundred billion reasons to attack the U.S., for real, or in a Constitution ending false flag operation.

The economics and politics of fear.

GW Bush is the first president in U.S. history to use consistently and repeatedly use fear as a way to railroad through his political and economic agenda.

Your statement is untrue. FDR is your boy on that subject.

WWII got us out of the depression. Fear is still what gets many people out of bed Monday morning. Fear of losing the house, the nice car, etc. A coach once told me that confidence and fear must be balanced. If you have all fear it causes us to freeze up and win nothing but all confidence will eventually make us lazy which is what happen when the markets went wild on fluff in the late 20's.
