New American Century

9/24/06 Update

Although this article was written in '99 it is relevant to 2006. Roughly 40% of the American people still support the Bush administration. Apparently they have not seen the MUST READ! "Rebuilding America's Defenses" which is concerned with Neo-Con strategies for U.S.world domination and the agenda of Project for a New American Century generally known as the New World Order. This agenda is now bearing fruits of war and environmental catastrophe.

It is no longer a choice between Democrat and Republican. It is Neo-Cons that must be removed from control. This removal will be difficult because of the stranglehold they maintain on the news media, voting machines and Christian fundamentalists. Meanwhile Neo-con atrocities are generated and reiterated across the planet... with promise of war with Iran.

They are just getting started and must be stopped before we are slaves of the North American Union and all that it implies with radio tags, national ID and the new census. BE INFORMED! The Military, White House, DOD including Los Alamos always post relevant documents on the Internet. Look for their plans for our future. For example: google - neo-con agenda.

Introduction

      Scary government documents and manifestos give witness to the Neo-Con agenda as a blueprint for Fascism, generally defined as the consolidation of government and industry concentrating on the fundamentals of imperial expansion, militarism and domestic repression. Retired Justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court Gene Franchini stated at a large gathering in Taos, New Mexico that we’re living in dangerous times and must challenge those who would remove our liberties. He referred to Ashcroft documents as putting Americans under surveillance and eroding the Bill of Rights. This is just the beginning.
      This article will present documents, concepts and philosophy supported by the Bush administration.  Pre-W history is found in Ralph Epperson’s The Unseen Hand (1985), Bertram Gross’s Friendly Fascism (1912) , Ravenscroft’s The Spear of Destiny and endless hundreds of other publications including  El Dorado Sun out of Santa Fe.  Noam Chomsky has written much about the days leading up to the Gulf War and daddy Bush’s New World Order.

Project for a New American Century

      PNAC’s leaders appear regularly on network news. Their membership includes Dick Cheney (founder), Donald Rumsfeld (founder), Paul Wolfowitz (Deputy Secretary of Defense), John Bolton, Richard Perle (resigned chairman of Defense Policy Board), and Chairman Bruce Jackson ( past VP of Lockheed-Martin). Cheney’s Defense Strategy under George Bush I inspired the general philosophy of the PNAC plan as found in Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategies, Forces and Resources for a New Century. It seeks to establish Pox Americana across the planet.  
      The PNAC plan calls for massive increase in defense spending and fighting several wars to establish American dominance. (They are well underway in these arenas.)A few of the core missions for the U.S. military forces are highlighted in the document and listed as: “defend the homeland; fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars; perform the ‘constabulary’ duties associated with shaping security environments in critical regions; transform U.S. forces to exploit the revolution in military affairs; control the new “international commons” of space and cyberspace and pave the way for creation of a new military service – US Space Forces – with the mission of Space control. In particular the US must: maintain nuclear strategic superiority.” The PNAC manifesto was available in 2000, long before the 9/11 event.

National Security Strategy

     The National Security Strategy document has the American military policing the world. Hendrik Hertzberg in The New Yorker writes “The Bush vision is in the end a profoundly pessimistic one and, as such, more than a little un-American. It is, among other things, a vision of perpetual war.” The 2002 National Security Strategy seeks to create a world market in which all nations practice “pro-growth legal and regulatory policies to encourage business investment.”  Countries receive financial assistance when they follow the Bush plan of “tax policies, particularly lower marginal tax rates that improve incentives” for businesses.  If this vision of the future is realized we will have lost all unique environments not to mention life as we’ve known it.
      The Ugly Americans will be featured in every village square across the universe.“We will use our economic engagement with other countries to underscore the benefits of policies that generate higher productivity and sustained economic growth including rule of law and intolerance of corruption so that people are confident they will be able to enjoy the fruits of their economic endeavors.”  That’s humorous considering the policies enacted by Enron, Halliburton, World Com and the American corporate scene.
      Throughout the Security Strategy we hear the term unilateral, preemptive action. America will exercise the “right of self defense by acting preemptively against terrorists or state sponsors of terrorism to prevent harm against our people and our country.” Bush is endorsed by Congress to make pre-emptive strikes against any nation perceived to be a potential threat to undefined U. S. interests.  

USA Patriot Act

      Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism is the full title of the 342 page manifesto named to spell out the acronym: USA Patriot. The American Library Association came out in strong opposition and the N.M. Library Association Executive Board voted to accept their resolution of opposition.  Bushie wants libraries to tell him what books people are checking out. Our local library has a courageous display entitled “Freedom to Know.” Taos librarian Dorothy Kethler finds the USA Patriot act “knocks the hell” out of the First Amendment .
      USA Patriot legislation gives the feeling of America as a police state.  It greatly expands federal police powers to allow “sneak and peek” searches, investigations without showing probable cause and every possible kind of snooping. Jim Hightower, editor of  The Hightower Lowdown writes six months ago, “In the past year, the Bush Gang have issued an alarming array of orders, memos, rulings and announcements that suppress our freedoms by executive fiat, effectively changing long-established laws, processes and principles without even consulting Congress.”
       According to London’s The Observer the snoopers are hard at work. The National Security Agency (NSA) is conducting a surveillance operation against UN Security Council delegations. Disclosures were made in a memo written by Frank Koza, chief of staff in ‘Regional Targets’ section of the NSA. Sounds like Nixon days of dirty tricks. “The memo describes orders to staff at the agency to step up its surveillance particularly directed at UN Security Council Members.” Details include interception of the home and office telephones and emails of UN delegates. The actual memo can be found at www.observer.com. (It's interesting that 2006 has found so many folks surprised at NSA wiretapping activities. They have been busy a work for a long time).

Impotent Congress

      Congress offers no checks and balances for ongoing extreme edicts handed down by Bush. The Democratic Party is barely alive and both parties, with a few exceptions, rubber stamp Bush into eternity. Or to put it in the words W spoke on 2/26 at the American Enterprise Institute.: “We meet here during a crucial period in the history of our nation and of the civilized world. Part of that history was written by others; the rest will be written by us.” (Applause) Is that scary or what? 
      Senator Robert Byrd addressed the Senate on 2/12/03 with these comments: “To contemplate war is to think about the most horrible of human  experiences……Yet this Chamber is, for the most part, silent – ominously, dreadfully silent. There is no debate, no discussion, no attempt to lay out for the nation the pros and cons of this particular war. There is nothing. This coming battle, if it materializes, represents a turning point in U.S. foreign policy and a turning point in the recent history of the world. The doctrine of preemption is a radical new twist on the traditional idea of self defense. It appears to be in contravention of international law and the UN Charter.” The entire speech can be found at www.commondreams.org.

Updated on 2/17/06
       The nightmare continues with over 2 years remaining in his reign. That's enough time to create endless catastrophes and eternal hardships. Only the people can transform this forecast. Very slowly we're coming around to the truth. How do we accelerate the process? We need more than 50% support to stop the neo-cons and even then it will be difficult until we change the voting machines in use. They have been very through in the take over of our democracy.                                                     How can America support a government that promises never-ending war and enduring surveillance? We're prodded and disrobed at airports while U.S. borders and weapons facilities are wide open. Emperalistic control is projected across the planet while the Gulf Coast tragedy is ignored. Deception, secrecy, sadistic torture, racism, environmental devastation, war mongering are synomous with the neo-con, Bush administration.Regarding Operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
       Problems at Los Alamos have been publicized for years. Apparently nothing has been done to safeguard the facility. And what about nuclear power plants in heavily populated areas with no workable evacuation plans. If there is indeed a real threat to “the homeland”, Mr. Ridge should do more than scare everybody to death with childish advice.

Conclusion

      Know and understand the philosophy, intentions and roadmap of federal, state and local government. Become involved in your special way: action groups, communication and prayer. Do whatever possible to express support for the Bill of Rights and loathing for the Project for the New American Century.
      We must act now for peace.  Do one action against war and the Project daily. For example send a brief letter to representatives in Congress and mention Rebuilding America’s Defenses and PNAC’s plan for world dominance. Let them know we are awake and watchful. Tell government we can see the hypocrisy in what they produce.
      Have courage in this time of endarkenment. Fear and a sense of hopelessness can be overcome with love, understanding, meditation, prayer and living in the moment.
