Want to learn how to create and sustain psychosis on a national scale? Look carefully at the public statements made by the Department of Homeland Security.

Here are a few random examples: "Weapons of mass destruction, including those containing chemical, biological or radiological agents or materials, cannot be discounted." "At least one of these attacks could be executed by the end of the summer 2003." "These credible sources suggest the possibility of attacks against the homeland around the holiday season and beyond..."

The Bush regime, with the full cooperation of the media, has done an excellent job of scaring and confusing many people. Of course Americans scare the hell out me with their incredible idiocy so hey, whatever. Welcome to the New America.
