The Phoney War refers to an eight-month period at the start of World War II, during which there were no major military land operations on the Western Front. It began with the declaration of war by the western Allies (the United Kingdom and France) against Nazi Germany on 3 September 1939, following the German invasion of Poland, and ended with the German attack on France and the Low Countries on 10 May 1940.
Even though Poland was overrun in about five weeks in the German and Soviet Invasion of Poland beginning on 1 September 1939, the Western Allies did nothing: this was the start of the Phoney War (at least as far as the United Kingdom and France were concerned). War had been declared by each side, but no Western power committed to launching a significant land offensive, notwithstanding the terms of the Anglo-Polish and Franco-Polish military alliances which obliged the United Kingdom and France to assist Poland.
The quiet of the Phoney War was punctuated by a few actions by the Allies. In the Saar Offensive in September, the French attacked Germany with the intention of assisting Poland, but this fizzled out within days and they withdrew. In November, the Soviets attacked Finland in the Winter War, resulting in much debate in France and Britain about an offensive to help Finland, but the forces finally assembled for this campaign were delayed until the Winter War ended in March. The Allied discussions about a Scandinavian campaign caused concern in Germany and resulted in the German invasion of Denmark and Norway in April, and the Allied troops previously assembled for Finland were redirected to Norway instead. Fighting there continued until June when the Allies evacuated, ceding Norway to Germany in response to the German invasion of France.
World War II: The Beginning On September 1, 1939, Hitler invades Poland. Two days later Britain and France, bound by treaty to Poland, declare war on Germany. It is the Allies' introduction to a new kind of warfare, the blitzkrieg or lightening war, in which German forces strike so swiftly that they conquer Poland in four weeks. Warshaw is devastated in a 21-day siege by the Luftwaffe, Germany's crack airforce. Poland surrenders and becomes the first of Hitler's slave populations. "The Phony War" The first 7 months after the official outbreak of World War II are dubbed "The Phony War" by the press. The action is limited to the seas. On the North Atlantic ships are sunk and lives are lost. But there are no land battles. The Germans call it a sitzkrieg or sitting war because their troops...

Source #1 The Power Of Nightmares (2004) Source #2 Amy Goodman interviews Robert Fisk on her show "Democracy Now", September 17, 2001. Fisk explains that "World Terror, Inc." was the State Department and Time magazine's label in the 1990s for bin Laden's supposed terror network, later rebranded as "Al Qaeda", etc. The Toyota quip is priceless. Just think of all those Toyota trucks which "Islamic State" came over in Iraq just the other year.

Media coverage expose. If the Brussels bombings are another false flag attack, the hidden shadow governments will get away with them, because the attacks blamed on Muslim terrorists fit every agenda that is out there. Who notices and resists? Government agenda is for more war, every form of division useful to the establishment, the psy-ops, increased military spending, more surveillance, more fear and targeting first of high-profile international city populations and ramping up of police state measures are continually served. By ways of DECEPTION. You and I are better than this.

The name of this BBC documentary is "The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear" by Adam Curtis. The series was originally broadcast in the United Kingdom in 2004 but has since been broadcast on network television in other countries, but never the United States. Adams Curtis explained this censorship as documented in an article by The Guardian as follows; "Something extraordinary has happened to American TV since September 11," says Curtis. "A head of the leading networks who had better remain nameless said to me that there was no way they could show it. He said, 'Who are you to say this?' and then he added, 'We would get slaughtered if we put this out.'" Surely a relatively enlightened broadcaster like HBO would show it? "When I was in New York I took a DVD to the head ...

E.s. Turner's marvellous study, first published in 1961, offers a none-too-reverent account of how Britons tried to adjust themselves to the uncertainties of those days. What was a woman to do if the air-raid siren sounded while she was curling her hair? Were the police required to open fire through jewellers' windows at un-extinguished light bulbs? What was more patriotic to buy War Bonds or to drink as much whisky as possible? Turner further explores the difficulties posed by blackouts to private detectives and prostitutes; the im...

I don't believe you
You twist the truth
when you speak
Of my intelligence
You'd better make amends
Take it back
I won't exemplify
the vile lies
I know you told about me
During that time
I thought you were my friend
You and I were inseperable
but now you have become
totally unacceptable
And I'm still harmless
as a cloud
But I'm not insane
Don't you call me mad
I warn you
I'm not
When we first met
you said you thought
I was the most clever
Guy you know now I don't know
what I've done wrong
What did I do ?
Just 'cause I eat some squirrel meat
now and again
doesn't mean that I have
a faulty brain
Don't call me stupid
