..in the 50s and early 60s they brought paranoia into classroooms with emergency drills in case of atomic war...we seven and ten year olds were taught to "protect yourself in case of nuclear attack" by ducking under our desks and covering our heads...and you can imagine how effective that was and also how reassuring...to know that as megatons went off all around you you were protecting yourself as "best you can"...and your parents and government was protecting you "as best it could".

They never addressed the abject poverty round the world where their puppets were doing their job by fleecing their own people and abusing them in order that Americans never wanted for anything...it was "envy" that drove peasant rebellions round the world...because THOSE people were "just like that"

This was a part of the terror scare back then...it's what dominated the lives of children growing up in my generation..under a cloud of threatened annihilation...and if you only knew how much money was made and how many political fortunes were made as well you'd see what an "Industry" scaring the American people was becomming.

And they're gearing up the scare machines again only this time colleges and post graduate schools are rushing to cash in because there is money in terror at even THAT level...We are losing our heads...America is literally going insane...like the confirmed paranoiac who sits twitching in a cafe, looking over his shoulder at you in spasmodic jerks, sure you are watching him..and whose behavior gets so downright weird you find you can't help but look up from your book to watch the guy watching you...and sure enough this eventually drives the guy insane cause he has all the PROOVES he needs that you ARE watching him and that all his other fancied "fears" regarding you and the "threat" you increasingly represnt to him gets confirmation...that paranoiac, who in this case happens to be armed with more guns than you'll ever see...is America.

Hundreds of community colleges, four-year universities and postgraduate programs have begun offering degrees and certificates in emergency preparedness, counterterrorism and security. Students study topics from political science and psychology to engineering and biotechnology to prepare for possible disasters.

"Homeland security will be the biggest government employer in the next decade or so," says Steven David, chair of the graduate certificate program in homeland security at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, which also offers a master's in government with a concentration in homeland security. "America continues to face threats, and terrorism will never go away," David says.

..no it never will go away as long as America makes sure to keep it alive and well...we are literally bringing the disease...at great profit..and then the "cure"..at even MORE profit. This is the final absurdity of Capitalism...to make money off its own demise.
