A brief history of the PNAC: a refresher .....

December 19, 2006

Once upon a time in an office rented to them by the American Heritage Foundation, a group of powerful men directly connected to the halls of the capital and the defense and energy industry formed a fringe rightwing organization based loosely on the teachings of Leo Strauss. They called themselves the Project for the New American Century. The Project is an initiative of the New Citizenship Project (both chaired by William Kristol) and as such is largely funded through it. Direct funding for PNAC comes from, but isn’t limited to, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation ($700,000), the Sarah Mellon Scaife Foundation ($50,000), and the John M. Olin Foundation ($70,000).

Unsurprisingly these three exceedingly conservative foundations have strong ties to weapons manufacturing and several members of the Project are former CEOs and board members of defense contractors and energy companies. (Halliburton, Trireme, Bechtel, etc.)

These guys drew up a plan for using our role as last remaining super power to expand their respective global markets through force. Specifically, their published documents call for the violent overthrow of regimes around the world that weren’t friendly to their business interests. The plan, as it was drawn out, called for the toppling of Saddam Hussein and seizing control of the Iraqi oil fields. Also, the regime of Afghanistan had to be deposed in order to construct a pipeline to secure access to the natural gas reserves of Central Asia. Once the energy resources were secured, the next step in the plan was to create an archepelago of military bases throught the Middle East and Central Asia as a staging point for further operations including the toppling of Iran and Syria.

On page 52 of a document published by them called Rebuilding America’s Defenses (.pdf), they stated that this plan for global corporate domination hinged upon "a catalyzing catastrophic event, similar to a new Pearl Harbor".

It's that it's demonstrably TRUE, not a "conspiracy theory'. Those bastards really worked it.

and they are still working it.... From conspiracy theory to 'reality' .... I mean how many more 'coincidences' have to happen in real life before the odds of everything going on are just a bit toooooooooo suspect? Keep the faith, pass it on and Peace.

"Paul Bremer, working as head of the Coalition Provision Authority (CPA) issues a series of orders regarding the rewriting of the Iraqi Constitution in violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Orders 39 (.pdf) and 81 give a good deal of insight unto the capitalist utopia that was installed for the benefit of the corporations that fund and support the leadership of the occupying countries. Some examples:

Iraqi farmers are no longer allowed to save their own seeds from one harvest to the next. Doing so is now a jail-able offense. Some of theses strains of seeds have been cultivated by the Iraqis for thousands of years. Now they must be purchased from Monsanto with every planting season."

1. those same FUNDERS have been involved in funding the DLC.

2. Here's just a little information on Strauss (wicked, evil man IMO):

Here's a decent overview:

This is from Power Down by Richard Heinberg. It's one hell of a great book on peak oil. I just this moment read the following on page 68. The chapter is about the GW Bush administration. My heart started pounding when I read this.

Neoconservatism is the intellectual offspring of Leo Strauss (1899-1973), a jewish scholar who fled Hitler's Germany and taught political science at the University of Chicago. According to Shadia Drury in 'Leo Strauss and the American Right' (Griffin, 1999), Strauss advocated an essentially Machiavellian approach to governance. He believed that:

A leader must perpetually deceive those being ruled.

Those who lead are accountable to no overarching system of morals, only to the right of the superior to rule the inferior.

Religion is the force that binds society together, and is therefore the tool by which the ruler can manipulate the masses (any religion will do).

Secularism in society is to be supressed, because it leads to critical thinking and dissent.

A political system can be stable only if it is united against an external threat, and that if no real threat exists, one should be manufactured.
