The Power of Nightmares. The Century of the Self. Pandora's Box. All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace. If you're familiar with the alternative media, you've doubtless come across references to the documentary work of Adam Curtis. But besides the well-known examples of brilliance within Curtis' work is a deeply doctrinaire strain that seeks to normalize mainstream history and convince us that the driving ideologies of the political elite are exactly what they say they are. Join us today on The Corbett Report as we deconstruct Curtis' documentaries and look for the deeper meaning behind the globalist ideology.
“What If?” histories are a good read. They are entertaining, and they provoke thought and encourage the imagination. How different the world would be if different judgments, decisions, and circumstances had prevailed at history’s turning points. Certainly English history would have been different if King Harold’s soldiers had obeyed his order not to pursue the defeated fleeing Normans down the hill. This broke the impenetrable Saxon shield wall and exposed King Harold to Norman calvary. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Battle_of_Hastings
Would there ever have been a Soviet Union if the Czar had stayed out of World War I?
Would there have been a World War II if British, French, and American politicians had listened to John Maynard Keynes’ warning that the Treaty of Versailles would result in a second world war? Germany had been promised a different outcome–no reparations and no territorial loss–in exchange for an armistice. As Keynes realized, the betrayal of the peace led to another great war.

Episode 258 – Know Your Terrorists: Ayman Al-Zawahiri
Posted by Corbett
We are told a certain tale about the story of Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden’s right-hand man and the inheritor of the Al Qaeda operation…but we are not told everything. Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we go in search of the real Ayman Al-Zawahiri and uncover some surprising connections.
In the ten years following 9/11, the FBI and the Justice Department convicted more than 150 people following sting operations, though few had any connection to real terrorists.

The following is an excerpt from The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism by Trevor Aaronson (Ig Publishing, 2012).
As Hollywood attempts to burnish J. Edgar Hoover's legacy, The Corbett Report peers into the FBI's closet to rummage around its skeletons. From its illegal wiretaps and cointelpro campaigns to crime lab fraud and phoney terror busts, we cover all the bases in this week's edition of The Corbett Report.
Major US newspapers admit to honoring CIA demands. Russ Baker, editor-in-chief for WhoWhatWhy.com, gives us his take on the agreement between the mainstream media and the Obama administration to keep the base a secret.
It is no secret that the Obama administration has pushed for more drone strikes abroad, and during the Obama presidency the battle tactic has been on the rise. But one thing that has been kept secret for the last two years is a key US drone base in Saudi Arabia. According to reports, several key media outlets were aware of the base but refused to report on it per the government's request. Russ Baker, editor-in-chief for WhoWhatWhy.com, gives us his take on the agreement between the mainstream media and the Obama administration to keep the base a secret.
US National hero believes the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks. William Rodriguez a janitor working in the North Tower of the World Trade Center building in New York who helped rescue thousands on that Tuesday morning, believes: Rodriguez is In Tehran to attend the 3rd Hollywoodism International Conference on filmmaking. In a press conference at Tehran's [Farsi] News Agency, he discussed the events of the 9/11 attacks.
Since the attacks of September 11, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has brought approximately 500 terror cases to trail. Of these cases, 150 people have been involved in sting operations in which the FBI has supplied suspects with materials to act out plans of terror. The FBI has been heavily criticized for preying on individuals who are on the fringes of society and Trevor Aaronson, author of "The Terror Factory," analyzes the FBI's devious tactics in his new book.
As one of the most thoroughly-documented examples of a decades-long program of officially-sanctioned false flag terror, Operation Gladio remains a woefully under-reported piece of the War on Terror puzzle. Today we go behind the trite summarizations of this program to look at it in-depth, examine its roots, and discover how it is continuing to operate right through to the present day.
