Control by fear

For twenty year we have been the victim of a campagin to change our views and lifestyle by the careful use of induced fears. Be it fear of 'weapons of mass destruction', 'terrorism' or a wonder virus the spirit of love and
peace of the sixties has been wiped out.R
The Establishment has developed a strategy of fear and induced hysteria to control and manipulate us into the lifestyle and political
viewpoint that suits their financial and political agenda

Be it fear of Iraq and biological weapons of a wonder virus called HIV that has never been isolated or shown to be anything but benign, we are being
manipulated by false fears and the controlled use of induced hysteria.


"The people need wholesome fear; they want to fear something. They want someone to frighten them and make them
shudderingly submissive."
- Ernst Roehm, gay leader of the Nazi SA Brownshirts

"We have created our myth. The myth is a faith, a passion. It is not necessary for it to be a reality."
- Benito Mussolini, The Naples Speech, 1922

"The power of such a method to force changes in cultural values is based on careful manipulation of fear. Ideally, health
promotion messages should heighten an individual's perceptions of threat and his or her capacity to respond to that threat, thus
modulating the level of fear...What is not yet known is how to introduce fear in the right way in a particular message intended for a
particular audience. Acquiring that knowledge will require planned variations of AIDS education programs that are carefully
executed and then carefully evaluated".
