Khorasan Doesn’t Exist, They Never Did, You’ve Been Lied To
"As the
Obama Administration prepared to bomb
Syria without congressional or
U.N. authorization, it faced two problems. The first was the difficulty of sustaining public support for a new years-long war against
ISIS, a group that clearly posed no imminent threat to the “homeland.” A second was the lack of legal justification for launching a new bombing campaign with no viable claim of self-defense or U.N. approval.
The solution to both problems was found in the wholesale concoction of a brand new terror threat that was branded “The
Khorasan Group.” After spending weeks depicting ISIS as an unprecedented threat — too radical even for Al Qaeda! — administration officials suddenly began spoon-feeding their favorite media organizations and national security journalists tales of a secret group that was even scarier and more threatening than ISIS, one that posed a direct and immediate threat to the
American Homeland. Seemingly out of nowhere, a new terror group was created in media lore."*

The Young Turks (
Winner -
Best Political Podcast & Best Political News
Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on
Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest
with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
