Is 'Al Qaeda' the modern incarnation of 'Emmanuel Goldstein'?

Is 'Al Qaeda' the modern incarnation of 'Emmanuel Goldstein'?
Is "Al Qaeda" the modern incarnation of "Emmanuel Goldstein", the arch-villain manufactured by the state to rule the population with fear? Is it really far-fetched? If one can accept a real terrorist organization willing to kill people for their political aims, is a fake terror organization willing to kill people for their political aims any less possible. Once you accept that there can be one group of people willing to commit acts of terror you must accept that there can be a second group equally willing to commit acts of terror to blame on the first group.

No the United States is. We have to play the boogey man and then get crushed by the new world federalism.

only way to kill the goldstein idea of free markets.
