DESCRIPTION:THE POWER OF NIGHTMARES -- Part I \n\nPart I of this eye-opening BBC 
 documentary is entitled "Baby it's Cold Outside," refering to the failure 
 of Western society through individualism and corruption. The film compares 
 the rise of the American Neo-Conservative movement and the radical Islamist 
 movement, making comparisons on their origins and noting strong 
 similarities between the two. It argues that radical Islamism as a massive, 
 sinister organised force of destruction, specifically in the form of 
 al-Qaeda, is in fact a myth perpetrated mostly by American 
 Neo-Conservatives in an attempt to unite and inspire their people following 
 the failure of earlier, more utopian ideologies. \n\nFear is used to 
 manipulate the public into giving up civil liberties and turning power over 
 to elite groups. The nightmare of a powerful, united terrorist organization 
 waiting to strike is largely an illusion. The BBC looked for al-Qaeda, from 
 the mountains of Afghanistan to the sleeper cells in America, but they 
 found they were chasing a phantom enemy! \n\nWheelchair accessible on 28th 
 Street \n\nBefore and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our 
 Humanist Vegetarian Tea House \n\n$5 donations are accepted \n
