12/10/2003 Entry: "Securitarianism"

"Securitarianism creates what we experience to be 'the reality' of a terrorist threat. This is not to say that there is no 'real' threat out there. Rather, this threat is always discussed in the new language of security. As we, along with our friends and families, come to see ourselves as potential victims of terrorist attacks, the national security state emerges to protect us from the threat. But fear and threat have come into being simultaneously; we can not imagine one without the other."
Feeding Fear: The New Security Culture, by Katherine Lemons and Patricia Purtschert and Yves Winter, AlterNet, December 3, 2003

Sigh. I know we'll never be the same, but must we be this fucked up?

Hello Readers! If you're still liking what you're reading here, you can help out with the webhosting bill with a donation, if you are so inclined. In addition to my eternal gratitude, you'll have the comfort of knowing I won't be spending it on frivolous things like food or the electric bill or something.

One of the best deals anywhere.

Donations to keep us going are very welome!

Our webhost, is a really good deal and is probably having a huge sale on something as we speak. If you're looking for webhosting, I recommend them very much.
