Stay with the latest News And Analysis formats going on here on the paper here on the yard, we understand that there has been a Plane Crash on the southern tip like that was like a 2nd place. Never again, going to be the same new York Name and then we will not need to say not in the history on this nation, has such carnage. Me there was an eat those that took cold that, you know, this terrible attack was a big threat to the country and that somehow we were all in this together, the government and the the response ought to be appropriate to what is in fact, the 2nd Pearl Harbor the climate after 911. 00 meant that if you spoke out against the calls to invade iraq or the war on terror, you are committing career suicide. This is about good versus evil. This is about people who want to destroy us, our civilization, and our way of life. No, you live in basically created a world in which the United States was able to present itself as a force of good fighting against this international axis of evil. States like these and their turns down eyes constitute an axis of evil. Behind the rhetoric is a reality, which is filled with Death And Destruction for people in the middle east and central Asia And South asia. We need to paper on notice. They harbor terrorists. They are going to get a legacy has been creating more terrorism. Actually, weve got a long way to go in order to achieve our objective in america has no interest in fighting an endless war in afghanistan. The war that enhances the conditions that produce what is supposed to eradicate. We want to fight a war against it. And when i could win that war in a week, i just dont want to kill 10000000 people. I know my decision will be criticized. But i would rather take all that criticism, Pastors Decision onto another, present in the United States, yet another one or the can never really end. The one did not have to be a visionary to realize on september 11th, 2001 that the United States was about to change. A strike at the heart of the worlds only superpower, almost 3000. 00 american lives lost in a single day. Well have that effect. What was unforeseen was, how many people in countries that had nothing to do with the 911 attacks had been affected by what the Bush Administration called on to the people who have never set foot in the west have seen their own countries and change their own Rights Freedom lives restricted. The invasion of afghanistan and iraq turned from a temporary intervention into long term occupations. And were still dominating nice back in 2000 today, taliban fighters took control of the capital cobble. It was a crusade as President George W bush once called. Weve never seen this kind of evil before, but the evil doers have never seen the american people. Its with the white house forging alliances on the airwaves over in print and in intellectual circles. One of the intellectuals who was brought into the white house to help frame the war on terror is bernard lewis, who not lewis, is famous for pointing the Term Clash of civilizations. They want to turn this into a religious war. A war of islam against what they see, see the world of the unbelievers and in the world of the unbelievers. Obviously the americans come 1st. Another person who was brought in is freed secaria. At the time was the editor, international edition of new suite of the war takes place and it goes well, which i think it probably will. You will also see at the end of this war that Saddam Hussein was indeed a murderous tire. And there will be stories that will be evidence and in that sense, you will, you will. This will, will look better in history perhaps than it does today. 911 gave a new lease and a new life to orientalist ideas and even orientalist scribes. This man can World View of good and evil in a way allowed for the Bush Administrations notion of this. Lemme call to replace actually the space that the evil empire of a soviet union had occupied before. And so the idea really was that it was the role of the United States to go in and civilized these peoples. And what these intellectuals did is they wrapped up and made it palatable for the 21st century. It was a time when the line separating american journalism from those in power faded away or was willingly crossed november 29th, 2001 was a case in point. It is a day that has stuck to for read the car and proper capital. A writer who worked at for the atlantic both attended a meeting, organized by the Deputy Secretary of defense, paul wolf, for a gathering of hawks planning, a war and messengers who knew how to sell a brainstorming session. That capital now admit produced a forceful summary of pro war arguments. At the time. The most significant talk in point of the meeting was that the United States had to find a way to change the regime in iraq in supporting the Iraq War. I build my own test as a realist and have never ceased to remind by readers of that over the last 20 years. I attended no other meetings about the Iraq War. And its correct to say that meeting such as this one, provided an intellectual veneer to the policy that emerged. What rankles me is that with a few exceptions, the people who were writing robustly in favor of the war in iraq there, the editors of some of the most important publications in the United States. Right now, theyre my friends. I dont wanna single them out, but none of them paid a price not no 1. 00. I supported the war because i was a journalist who had gotten too close to my story. I had made several trips in the 19 eighties and i had never experienced tyranny. Like i did in Saddam Husseins iraq, so i said to myself, whats worse than this . Nothing could be worse than this. Well, i found out in the years since the invasion that the anarchy in iraq after Saddam Cell was much, much worse than the tyranny under his rule. Whether caught up in a rush of patriotism or addicted to the ratings that rise when broadcaster is bang, the drums of too much of the american media bought into the big lies on iraqi w. M. D. s terrorist sleeper south than the us. And Saddam Husseins fictional links to al qaeda. New studios were flooded with ex military officers turned front man for weapons manufacturers urging us to attack iraq, presented as experts who were more like profit here. At the pentagon, played a coordinating role in getting them on the air. Lets turn to retire general. Joseph ralston, also joining me. General bernard, trainer, hes a retired marine corps, Lieutenant General air force. Lieutenant general, tom mcinerney, who is with us in our foxes, were briefing room. They were beltway band. That was former pentagon officials who make out like, and thats when they go into the private sector and then work for military contractor history. This campaign is brilliant. It doesnt involve any collateral damage, no villages, no urban warfare. And it was a scandal that David Barstow of the New York times uncovered. He brought in the minutes of the meetings between rumsfeld and the military experts who were going on tv was a completely orchestrated program inside the pentagon, giving talking points to the experts who would go on the media to shape public opinion. Ah, anti war perspectives were marginalized, in some cases, sense the New York times was not the only us Media Outlet to turn into a Conveyor Belt for a false narrative. But because of its Reach And Influence at home and abroad, it helped set the news agenda. Jill abramson was the times, is Washington Bureau chief chris hedges as beat at the time was outside of the media was complicit in, perpetuating this mit. You cant make a war on terror. Thats a tough ology. Its impossible. And yet we reacted we drank from that very dark elixir of nationalism. You have to remember after the attacks of 911, the Bush Administration perpetrated on purpose this kind of fear. Its how they ended up passing the Patriot Act and the 2002 Authorization Use military force actor. So you had fear, but then you also had american chauvinism. And that was a very deadly mix that an Essence Blind in the New York times as an institution. It wasnt just one or 2 reporters right after 911. 00. I remember the director of the ca, george tenant, calling me i was the Washington Bureau chief for the New York times. And on that call, enlisting my agreement that the times would not do any reporting or disclose and of intelligence sources and methods. You just start to the washing and posts, and he ticked off the networks and everybody had agreed. And the times ended up giving huge play some seriously flawed news stories that were based on for rocky defectors, who turned out to have very little information of value about the current state of affairs and iraq. Me in 2004, the times published an editorial may a copa of sorts admitting that some of its coverage, leading up to the Iraq War was not as rigorous as it should have been. It said editors who should have been challenging record, pressing for more skepticism, were perhaps too intent on rushing scoops into the paper. Ah, the editorial ended with a promise to continue aggressive reporting aimed at setting the record straight in the us military on leave, a massive series of air strikes on baghdad and other cities in iraq. And it was both shocking and awesome, as it was promised to be swept the nation after the events of 911. 00. So much so that journalists felt that they could not ask critical questions. Cbs anchor, dan, rather who went on the Letterman Show and who said george bush, the president , he makes the decisions. And you know, theres just one american wherever you want me to line up, you tell me where. And hell make the call. Talk about and media that have completely given up their autonomy, fox news, and rupert Murdochs Empire with consistently in favor of the war on iraq. In fact, all his editors about a 180 of them took a pro war. Busy line in the lead up to the Iraq War one, Oregon Saddam begins. We expect every american to support our military. And if they cant do that, to shut on color or audiences were led to believe the Iraq War would be over in months if not weeks. And months our patients will be one of our strikes that american troops would not end up meyer there. Or in afghanistan, which the us invaded to hunt down to some been loudon and al qaeda. And where a decade after bin ladens, assassination, american forces remained. When the biden administration finally, and the afghan established last month, american news companies featured many of the same voices. Obviously, this is an unmitigated disaster column. We did our Dc Defense Contract around they had advocated for the invasions and the subsequent occupation were now arguing that the us was leaving afghans at the mercy of the taliban. And abandoning american entry on time 911 also birth new generation of security centric films. And television shows produced to trade unfair the pentagon and the cia have long had an informal symbiotic relationship with all supplying movie makers with military hardware, or turning the spy Agencies Headquarters in virginia into a film set in exchange for the state friendly screenplays. 2 months after 911 in november of 2147, a top hollywood executives met with bush advisor, Karl Rove in los angeles, to discuss patriotic plot lines. The industry could crash rove later said it was about showing that the war in afghanistan was not against islam, but against terrorism. That distinction would be lost on most filmmakers, and eventually their audiences. There was 24. Its centered around a Counter Terror Prism age. And by the name of jack bower, and every season is based on 24 hours of trying to avert this terrorist plot. I watch. Oh, on torturing people, sometimes killing them. But the audience is led to believe that he has no choice, but to do all the real quick things. So that show was fantastic, a popular and played a very big role in terms of creating a terrorism mindset. Season for the show 24 had an Ad Campaign with a muslim family that looked very suburban america please. These are not the right next door. I cant even tell you the shock i felt when i saw that im here to tell you that i think that many people die because of it. Drones up being dropped because we are the unionized countries i invaded because we are unionized because people do not have empathy with brown people. The whole land, which took over from 24 round from 2011 to 2020 and marked a shift from the kind of shoot him a Cowboy Narrative off 24 into Obama Mater War on terror. All the muslim characters, nefarious and terrible, except for one of the agent who is an iranian american, who proves her loyalty by being extremely patriotic. But your current state of mind makes your loyalty to him and to the agency, a very live issue. Call the director, not to worry. Shes a good muslim, right. That showed how cultural knowledge of the enemy, good Intelligence And Diplomacy were important in terms of winning the war on terror. Of course it also justified extra judicial killing. It justified torture and all the rest of it. So now youve got the air for the muslim who is a C H and but nobody stopped and asked for hold it. You know, is this now human . I think as are you making us, you know, like everybody else can you get for the speakers with experience and international finance. I had to help wake him details. Can we really those about so damaging it was for american coaches to be center, but not a single movie about how damaging it was for the people down after 911. 00, any nuanced discussion of the slumming world or what it means to be muslim is vanquished. And what we get, in fact, are just these empty slogans and cliches that take the place of real understanding or knowledge. So you get films like american sniper butcher, youve got to get on the avenue. The entire premise of the film is that these people are terrorists who savagely attack innocence. Theyre not defending their own country from invasion. Come to mind to move. It feeds very pernicious stereotypes. There are very few films that actually show a nuanced portrayal of what context make tears impossible what drives young men to become tears. There are examples of film by morrow can maybe use voices of god. C the is the Posting And Film paradise. No, its not a coincidence that these homes are not american. These films show the complexity of the socio economic and geo political climate that push certain young men into the hands of terrorists organizations, scientists. Then of course, films are a commodity, right, and these are multi national corporations that are interested in profit. And they want to produce what sells in a way. But oftentimes, it rhymes with the official Discourse And Narrative of the state after so many years of you need dimensional reductive depictions of error muslims, and the middle east. Audiences have been conditions to expect certain kinds of bad guys. I stopped in the blood was those one and it sprayed everywhere which may explain why the New York times, incidentally, winnings, podcast, 1018. California was such as the central character who went by the elliot to abu who told the times he wasnt islamic states. Soldiers and furnish the paper with tales of violence, and barbara had staggered multiple times when we put him on the cross to leave a dagger in his heart. The podcast was downloaded millions of time, but the story turned out to be a hoax. Abu safe was real name is, sharon shouted, he is a fraud, a fantasist, who sold a fictional tale 2 times reporter, meaning Color Market one she would eventually, when a Peabody Award for the paper was forced to admit it, got it wrong, is blaming an institutional failure. 16 years after acknowledging the failings in its post 9 having coverage, promising to be more rigorous, the New York times had done it again. But the pod remains online. With this screen. The times has concluded that the episodes of caliphate that presented town to his claims did not meet our standards for accuracy. And the times stood by telemachus, his journalism has been called into question before describing her as a final report. So since muslims are demonized its, its very easy for the media to embrace stories, however false that cater to that stereotype of muslims. And the New York times did precisely this when they put out the caliph based on the testimony given by an imposter. I mean it was completely untrue, but it catered to that stereotype. It was lurid. It was salacious. It was audio snuff, poor people being crucified and stabbed in the heart and the blood was everywhere to help it. I just do, im a psycho killer. Now. I didnt give him a chance to repent, stabbed him, but because of the long denigration of muslims with both within popular culture within the media. It was believable. Those stereotypes that play unfair or uneasy sound for the politicians, filmmakers, and news networks that acted as travel agents for the war on terror discourse, political leaders, the world over have adopted that language. In some cases, have copied and pasted the legislation to surveil and ultimately violence. Ready their own opposition . I speak to someone who was always against this. Sandra jean, i always wanted to see the end of dictatorship. But i, like many iraqis did not want to see the destruction of an entire society and the dismantling of institutions that took a 100 years to bill. We did not have terrorism before 2003. We did not have car bombs. We have not have malicious running around killing people. The war on terror and the atmosphere it created has generated so much unnecessary fear amongst so many citizens. So its become a very convenient tool to completely crush any kind of legitimate political opposition. The Fear Narrative has become far more pervasive since 911. 00. It was a terrifying and then the whole country watch. Thousands of people die on that day. But we remained in a perpetual state of, of the year. There were always new threats that were being played. One of the key accomplishments, i think of the war on terror is really to create a world that is a lot scarier in peoples minds than it is in reality. What is really alarming for people who study the war on terra and who have a sense of the actual threat posed by islamists, georgia har, this group is the extent to which this threat has been overblown and over inflated not just in the United States, but around the world to justify various coercive policies. Once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. Remember, we are the most watch, spied upon photograph, monitored population in human history. And when your government watches you 24 hours a day, you can use the word liberty. And thats the relationship of a master and slave. And that is the real legacy of 911. The global citizens persuaded by political leaders and news organizations to fear unseen enemies have surrendered some of their basic civil rights in the name of staying safe. In september of 2001, the Bush Administration called the downing of the world trade center, an attack on freedom. However, 2 decades later, weve come to realize that the actual sustained attack on freedom lies in so much of what has happened since it is a war on dressed up the skies as a War One who around the world, a powerful entities are working to manipulate an influence the controls are taking algorithms that are being developed and designed to push the content that says quick me, every click we make is value off.
