Frank Zappa at PMRC Senate Hearing 1985

This video is part three of a 1985 Nightmatch (Charlie Rose) debate between Frank Zappa and PMRC represenative, Kandy Stroud.

Neconservative Bill Kristol debated progressive Robert Kuttner during "The Big Con" Conference sponsored by the Campaign for America's Future and The American Prospect

Should we be worried about the threat from organised terrorism or is it simply a phantom menace being used to stop society from falling apart?
In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better   more...world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares.

The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares.

In a new series, the Power of Nightmares explores how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organized terrorist network is an illusion.

It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media. At the heart of the story are two groups: the American neo-conservatives and the radical Islamists.
Both were idealists who were born out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world.
These two groups have changed the world but not in the way either intended.
Together they created today's nightmare vision of an organised terror network.
A fantasy that politicians then found restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. Those with the darkest fears became the most powerful.
The rise of the politics of fear begins in 1949 with two men whose radical ideas would inspire the attack of 9/11 and influence the neo-conservative movement that dominates Washington.

Both these men believed that modern liberal freedoms were eroding the bonds that held society together.

The two movements they inspired set out, in their different ways, to rescue their societies from this decay. But in an age of growing disillusion with politics, the neo-conservatives turned to fear in order to pursue their vision.

They would create a hidden network of evil run by the Soviet Union that only they could see.

The Islamists were faced by the refusal of the masses to follow their dream and began to turn to terror to force the people to "see the truth"'.  less

Frank Zappa at PMRC Senate Hearing 1985

Frank Zappa at PMRC Senate Hearing 1985

This is a second interview Frank Zappa did on the now cancelled Crossfire back in ‘87. He was arguing against the ridiculous censorship movement pioneered by the PMRC that was going on at that time.

Q:   more...It’s called truth in packaging, it’s a simple concept.

Zappa: Yea, but it’s bogus. You know it’s bogus and everybody watching this show knows it’s bogus. There is no problem here. There is no need for this organization. It’s all fake.—First of all the government does not belong in the home. The government does not belong in the bedroom.

Does it remind you of anything? Frank just rakes these people under the coals with his well thought out and very simple logic.  less
