Ever since the Cold War ended there were people who were fuming on the Right thinking this is the golden opportunity now that Russia’s out of the way for American to take over the world. We’re not doing anything about it. Those damned liberals, those soft-heads, are keeping us from doing what is our godly mission. Norman Mailer, author
I understand that they want the American public to believe that the invasion of Iraq was the response to September 11th. I think it is a lie. I believe that it is part of a Neo-Conservative agenda to assert that American hegemony is untouchable. And September 11th gave them the opportunity to put in play plans they had been considering since the first Bush administration. Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize winner 1997
This is not just a Republican takeover, this is a very specific wing of the Republican Party. It’s Neo-Conservative, it’s unilateralist, it doesn’t believe in the rule of law. It doesn’t believe you have to tell the public the truth. William Hartung, World Policy Institute
The present wars in the Middle East and Asia are down to the Project for the New American Century. And its aims – that the USA should be dominant on land, at sea, in the air, in space, in cyberspace. To what benefit? What drove the British Empire? The need to dominate. David Halpin, The Vortex Sucks Ever Louder, Alternative View II conference 31st May 2009

The Project for a New American Century founded in 1997 was run by Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Wolfowitz and of course Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. And the Project for the New American Century called for a New World Order in its writings that can be viewed at their website. They said there needed to be a Pearl Harbor Event to speed up the New World Order. And to get the American people behind a national draft. And behind a war of aggression against sixty-two countries. A war that Bush has said will last generations. Alex Jones, Police State III: Total Enslavement, 2003
Saddam Hussein wasn’t a threat but that he provided a convenient pretext to get the oil in Iraq ... It was also about setting the precedent for the New World Order to invade sovereign nations. ibid.
A string of congressional investigations has uncovered more than 20,000 secret tests that were carried out against the American people between 1910 and 2000. One well known Eugenics study, the Tuskegee Syphilis Project, killed hundreds of blacks that spanned forty years until whistleblowers exposed it in 1972. Alex Jones, Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement, 2007
The federal government secretly commissioned secret radiation experiments against thousands of non-consenting patients; hundreds of hospitals in the US injected healthy men, women and children with uranium and plutonium at dosages ranging from non-therapeutic to lethal killing many of the test subjects. ibid.
Ladies and gentlemen, this country is in the greatest crisis that it’s ever seen. If it falls it will be a greater engine of evil than Nazi Germany was. It’s already fallen under the Bush regime, and they’ve destroyed our name, they’ve destroyed our currency, they’ve destroyed our treasury, the bill of rights, the constitution’s been dismantled ... Evil is moving across the face of the world. Alex Jones, the Alex Jones Show
Further the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic event like a new Pearl Harbor. Project for a New American Century: Rebuilding America’s Defences, Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century p51, 10 of the 27 participants in Bush government
At present the United States faces no global rival. America’s grand strategy should aim to preserve and extend this advantageous position as far into the future as possible. The United States must retain sufficient forces able to rapidly deploy, win multiple simultaneous large-scale wars. The United States must re-position forces to respond to twenty-first century strategic realities by shifting permanently based forces to south-east Europe and south-east Asia. The Army’s annual budget must increase to the $90 to $95 billion level. ibid. @ Creating Tomorrow’s Dominant Force
While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein. ibid.
A military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States’ global responsibilities. Of course, the United States must be prudent in how it exercises its power. But we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global leadership of the costs that are associated with its exercise. America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of the past century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership. ibid. @ Statement of Principles 1997
Americans flatly accepted following New York the invasion of Afghanistan that had already been planned to the smallest detail. PSTV.tv – New American Century
Seen from up close the official versions soon started to show some serious weaknesses. Too many curious events, too many inconsistencies, too many coincidences pointed at the possibility that the Truth was somewhat different from what we had been told. ibid.
But who are the Neo-Cons? The Neo-Conservative school of thought can be traced to the University of Chicago’s Professor Leo Strauss, who began enunciating its principles by the end of the sixties. ibid.
The novelty introduced by the Neo-Cons however was that for the first time in history the adversary would be the entire world. ibid.
The Wolfowitz doctrine which established the right of the United States to engage in pre-emptive war anywhere in the world in order to avoid other nations challenging their authority. ibid.
Rumsfeld managed to convince Gerald Ford to create an independent group to re-examine all the information the CIA had gathered about the Russians from the beginning. The group was called Team B. ibid.
The western media however had already made up their mind [Osama] bin Laden was the guy, and from him anything could be expected at that point. ibid.
September 11 was not the first time American was drawn into a war by an ambiguous incident ... In 1898 the United States went to war against Spain in order to take control of the Caribbean area. The pretext came from the sinking of USS Maine ... Only in 1980, almost a century later, would America recognise that the Spanish were not responsible for the attack. ibid.
In 1915 it was the sinking of the USS Lusitania ... It appears however that the US had secretly slipped to the Germans the information. ibid.
In 1941 there was the infamous Pearl Harbor attack to generate a wave of indignation large enough for President Roosevelt to declare war on Japan ... History would later reveal that the administration knew of the attack in advance. ibid.
In 1964 the United States decided to officially declare war on North Vietnam ... The so-called Tonkin Gulf incident ... But [Robert] McNamara forty years later would openly confess that the attack on the Maddox never took place. ibid.
The US secretly informed Saddam that they had nothing against him taking over the oilfields of Kuwait ... Saddam took the bait. ibid.
Operation Northwoods unclassified documents: A) We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba; B) We could blow up a drone (unmanned) vessel anywhere ... 8) It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner en route from the United States ... The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone. ibid.
The Industrial Military Complex: the American military elite seems to have responded to a recurring need of waging wars of conquest both to increase the control of world-wide resources and to maintain a healthy and productive war for industry. ibid.
Another important element that contributes to the recurring need for America to extend its reach beyond the national borders is definitely oil. ibid.
Thus began the quest for the so-called American Dream: the dream made of wealth comfort and well-being ... The connection between liberty and wealth was being continually reinforced. ibid.
The need for foreign oil has been rising dramatically for the United States over the past thirty years. ibid.
On September 10th [2001] a detailed plan to attack Afghanistan was put on George Bush’s desk for him to be signed on his return from Florida. The following morning, the twin towers were turned into rubble. ibid.
In 2003 it was the Iraqis who showed the world the remnants of their immense artistic heritage which had been stolen or destroyed by the Americans. ibid.
The Bush administration convinced Congress to approve the extraordinary printing of $20 billion in cash for the reconstruction of Iraq. 360 tons of $100 were physically transported to Iraq. ibid.
