Who's Winning the War on Terror

Meticulously researched and clearly presented, “Who’s Winning the War on Terror” dissects the terror-industrial complex and its pretext -- a war against a ubiquitous tactic. It exposes the junk science, fanciful terrorism scenarios, exaggerated warnings, and outright lies that have been used to keep Americans frightened for the entire 10 years since 9/11. This book assesses the dangers actually posed by homemade nuclear weapons, the mythical “dirty bomb,” plastic and liquid explosives, and much more. It looks at the ineptitude of America’s fabled Islamic enemy in deploying these “weapons of mass destruction” to take more lives on U.S. soil. And it gives an honest assessment of security measures being used to prevent another terrorist attack by looking at their costs, their effectiveness, and who profits from them. The author further examines the outrageous costs of this war not only regarding how Americans’ tax money could be better spent, but in terms of American lives lost in two protracted wars, and the systematic erosion of the freedoms the war on terror is allegedly defending: due process of law, personal privacy, and freedom of speech and association. Even a reader familiar with the issues involved will come away with a fuller understanding of the war on terror, how both our enemies and the terror-industrial complex (Fear Inc.) keep us frightened, and how that climate of fear advances their interests.
