A Brief history of the PNAC: a refresher
Filed under: Uncategorized, Government — poac @ 10:50 am
Tj Templeton, founder Project for the old American Century
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 there was such resistance to
transforming America’s military machine for the job of acting as the
world policman that there would have to be “a catalyzing catastrophic
event, similar to a new Pearl Harbor”.
Of course, they also had to be returned to the halls of power in the
U.S. government first…
Enter George W. Bush. Upon his selection to the Presidency, George
promptly appointed the heirarchy of this organization to the top levels
of the whitehouse, the pentagon, and the state department. Once these
men were placed into their respective positions, two very interesting
things happened.
First, the cabinet level position created by fmr President Bill Clinton
of “terrorism Czar” was disbanded and it’s members were reassigned to
different duties. This position had previously been meeting at least
weekly, specifically on the threat and whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden
and the Al Qaeda network. The incoming National Security Advisor refused
to meet with The fmr “terrorism Czar”, Richard Clarke, causing him to
send several urgent messages to Nat’l Security Advisor Rice demanding
“an immediate meeting regarding the threat of Al Qaeda and Osama Bin
Laden”. These requests for meetings went unanswered. Dick Cheney himself
has been quoted as saying “Richard Clarke was kept “out of the loop”.
Shortly after 9-11, Rice penned an editorial in the Washington post
where she calimed the outgoing Clinton administration made no effort to
express the threat posed by Al Qaeda. This claim has since been
disproved by the public release of several memos penned by Clarke
calling for an immediate meeting on that very subject.
Second, the Bush administration invited the Taliban to the United States
to discuss a Unocal natural gas pipeline deal that had been stalled. The
Taliban wasn’t invited to Washington, but rather to Sugarland Texas,
home of Tom Delay’s district and Unocal headquarters. No deal was
reached and the Taliban went home.
The new Pearl Harbor.
With the security apparatus that had been monitoring Al Qaeda
effectively disbanded, the network was able to orchestrate and carry out
the worst terrorist attack in American history. Testifying under oath
before the 9-11 commission (which the whitehouse tried to prevent) the
Nat’l Security advisor, Condi Rice (Who the Whitehouse also tried to
prevent from testifying and then later tried to prevent he from having
to testify under oath) testified under oath that the Bush administration
had no idea that domestic flights could be highjacked and flown into
domestic tagets in a coordinated terrorist attack. Not only did the the
famous August 6th PDB seem to refute this in general terms, but also it
has come to light that the FAA and the FTA had sent 52 memos to the
White House specifically mentioning the impending threat of domestic
flights being highjacked and flown into domestic tagets in a coordinated
terrorist attack.
Shortly after 9-11, the Taliban regime is toppled, and Hamid Karzai is
placed as the President. Karzai is a former Unocal Advisor and CIA
asset. Zalmay Khalizad, another Unocal advisor, is placed as the United
States envoy to Afghanistan. Shortly after, the natural gas pipeline is
finished and Osama Bin Laden is allowed to escape.

For the next two years, President Bush fails to mention the name Osama
Bin Laden in public and instead embarks upon a national media campaign
to connect the regime of Saddam Hussein with the threat of terrorism and
the terrorist attacks of 9-11. It’s effective enough to persuade a
compliant Congress to allow the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Mission Accomplished
The regime of Saddam Hussein is deposed and a puppet regime is
installed. Paul Bremer, working as head of the Coalition Provision
Authority (CPA) issuse 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 benfit 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 jailable 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.
Another example is the monopolization of entire sectors of industry by
the occupying countries. Telecommunications, insurance, banking, all
have wriiten into the Iraqi constitution the 100% foreign ownership by
foreign entities and must allow for the 100% expatriation of profits.
Call it the Walmartization of Mesopatamia. Similar to the way Wal~Mart
comes to town and bankrupts main street and ships all of it’s profits
back to Bentonville, AR. American and British companies are now doing
the same.
Furthermore, labor unions were outlawed and reconstruction jobs that
would normally help to rebuild the economy and employ Iraqis are handed
without bidding to well connected American and British corporations.
Thus after a year of relative calm, the insurgency erupts and the United
States and it’s allies are caught in a quagmire that serves as a
catalyst for terrorist recruitment world-wide, a rise in support of
violent extremeism and puts us at risk of more terrorist attacks.
U.S. at risk of more terrorist attacks.
Thus justifying the toppling of more regimes and setting the scene for
perpetual war.
