PNAC: "A New Pearl Harbor"

In 2,000, just before the republicans got back into the White House, a
project set up by the neo-cons who now surround George W Bush, laid
out its agenda for global domination   more...in a document called the
"Project for the New American Century".
However, it stated that gaining public support for its aspirations would
require a long process, UNLESS there was a catastrophic event like
"a new Pearl Harbor". Its published aims have, alarmingly, come true.

If a group of people made a public statement saying that having a new
Pearl Harbor would be the only way the public would support their
agenda, and these same people were in positions that would allow them
to conduct, permit or enable such an event when that event actually
took place...would they deserve your suspicion? Well this is EXACTLY
what happened. The very people with established motives for conducting
an event like the one that took place on 9/11/2001 were responsible for
national security when we had that most unlikely, unrealistic and
implausible complete catastrophic failure of every single defense
procedure in operation. Yet Americans look to these people for
protection now.

The US military was running as many as 15 defense drills that day.
Some of these drills were live fly hijacking simulations. Some of the
drills were practicing for the possibility of having planes fly into
government buildings. Could it be that someone decided that these drills
would go live! Why have the corporate news media refused to report the
drills to the public? Could it be because you would start asking REAL
questions about that day? Well, it's time that you start asking questions
because you may just be supporting the real terrorists!

President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation
January 17, 1961
Good evening, my fellow Americans: First, I should like to express my gratitude to the radio and television networks for   more...the opportunity they have given me over the years to bring reports and messages to our nation. My special thanks go to them for the opportunity of addressing you this evening.
Three days from now, after a half century of service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor.

This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.

Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.

Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agreement on questions of great moment, the wise resolution of which will better shape the future of the nation.

My own relations with Congress, which began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the Senate appointed me to West Point, have since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate post-war period, and finally to the mutually interdependent during these past eight years.

In this final relationship, the Congress and the Administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the nation well rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the nation should go forward. So my official relationship with Congress ends in a feeling on my part, of gratitude that we have been able to do so much together.

We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among great nations. Three of these involved our own country. Despite these holocausts America is today the strongest, the most influential and most productive nation in the world. Understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment.

Throughout America's adventure in free government, such basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among peoples and among nations.

To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people.

Any failure traceable to arrogance or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us a grievous hurt, both at home and abroad.

Progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world. It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. Unhappily the danger it poses promises to be of indefinite duration. To meet it successfully, there is called for, not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis, but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and without complaint the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle – with liberty the stake. Only thus shall we remain, despite every provocation, on our charted course toward permanent peace and human betterment.

Crises there will continue to be. In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties. A huge increase in the newer elements of our defenses; development of unrealistic programs to cure every ill in agriculture; a dramatic expansion in basic and applied research – these and many other possibilities, each possibly promising in itself,  less

My response and clarification of my positions on the 9/11 truth movement for TheCharmingDeviant over on YouTube.Some clarification of my position and me mostly agreeing with you on the major points.
Imagine   more...that you had some sort of cloud penetrating radar, (debris dust penetrating radar, since we're imagining) at the ready on that awful morning of 9/11. Imagine, being able to "pear" through the debris cloud and watch the interactions of the columns and the concrete floors and the reinforced stairwells in the chaotic collapse on each tower. As they fell, they were either being brought down by progressive demolition charges destroying the structure or gravity. It's either/or.
Only with something like my "cloud penetrating radar view" could you watch the actual substructures and floors fall. Since the debris cloud obscures everything as each tower fell, how can you claim to track, visually, some point or other with which you make the calculation of fall speed; and therefore "time" the collapse. I don't think we know "how fast they fell", they were partially obscured by smoke before, and then totally hidden by the dust clouds after; structural failure. That's always been my problem with the calculations of fall speed for the towers, all that can really be seen is wildly billowing dust/smoke clouds. The very top of the towers can be seen in some shots at the start, that we know. So when we start counting from the time of catastrophic collapse, to when the towers finished collapsing how much time is that? Depends on who you're talking to! I maintain that the "end-time" can't be seen (or calculated) behind the debris clouds. Make sense?  less

The 9/11 Truth Movement is right to question the truthfulness of the Bush administration, but I disagree with their conclusions about the supposed “controlled demolition” of the WTC Twin Towers. There   more...are so many inconsistencies about the FAA destroying evidence and Bush ignoring the PDB’s warning about “Osama Bin Laden determined to strike in the U.S.” I think Bush and his PNAC buddies knew “something” was going to happen, and they wanted to let it happen so that they could shove through “The Patriot Act".
As far as the collapse of the WTC tower and whether the fell too fast or not-

Wolfowitz Warns of 'Surprise like Pearl Harbor' Months Before 9/11 more... Attacks.

Wolfowitz helped to pen Project for a New American Century   more...(PNAC)´s September 2000 document 'Rebuilding America's Defenses' which stated on pg. 51, amidst a larger call for dramatic military build-up, that:

"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."


During his June 2001 speech Wolfowitz reiterated those words in the closing remarks of his address to West Point graduates:

Alex Jones at the University of Texas Union Ballroom

Introduced by fellow GCN radio host Jack Blood, Alex gives an hour long speech at the Project For the New American Citizen event which was held at the   more...University of Texas Union Ballroom. In his presentation Alex discusses the Bush family's ties to Hitler, the overthrow of Mossadegh in 1950's Iran, the Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11 and the collapse of the twin towers.

Alex expands his talk into a discussion of whether the 19 Arab "hijackers" were in reality black-ops agents, the wargames on 9/11 that simulated planes flying into high-profile targets, and the process of defeating those who would vanquish our liberties, how the elite have gone from being arrogant to scared. Alex then takes questions from the audience, including how to counter people who cop out and respond with "well what do I have to hide?" when faced with the dangers of government surveillance. Debunkers who were handing out tin foils hats outside the event are also confronted.  less

The history of the current crisis and what MUST be done.

The city of London, Vatican city + Washington DC are 3 independant states within states wich composes the empire of the city. The first is financial control, the the second is religious control and third   more...is military control. Together they make the very unholy trinity.

Many people realize that this mystifying situation, in which an alleged democratic and self-governing nation is actually controlled against the will of the people. Once identified, there appears to be a clear indication that there exists a very powerful and occult organization which plans and directs world affairs.

King's July 31 interview of Vice President Cheney dealt mostly with a number of political topics. A sample of the questions from the interview:

How do you deal with it when public opinion polls are stridently   more...against the [Iraq] policy?

But in all cases, they did question themselves. In all cases, they said, well, let's look at it this way. Don't you? I mean the question is, don't you ever say, maybe I'm wrong?

In retrospect, you would still go into Iraq?

Does it pain you when Brent Scowcroft says this is not the Dick Cheney I knew?

Wouldn't you like to be liked?

OK, let's go back. On this program, May of 2005, you said the Iraqi insurgency was in the last throes. Why were you wrong?

In that same interview, you said that the Iraqis were well on their way to being able to defend themselves. Why not? Why are they gone?

To which branch of government do you belong? Are you executive or legislative, or both? We were a little confused over recent statements that you're not in either.

We have an op-ed piece by Walter Mondale, a former vice president, who held your job. And at that time, I guess, up to that time, he would be considered the most powerful vice president. He wrote that: "After 9/11, Cheney set out to create a largely independent power center in the Office of the Vice President. It was an unprecedented attempt not only to shape administration policy, but, alarmingly, to limit the policy options sent to the president."He also accused you of having "a near total aversion to the notion of accountability." How would you respond to that?

Don't you think this administration has also had its credibility problems?

Alberto Gonzales. Do you stand by him?

You're going to stand by him? No doubt about that?

In that regard, "The New York Times," which is -- as you said, it's not your favorite paper, reports it was you who dispatched Gonzales and Andy Card to then Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital in 2004 to push Ashcroft to certify the president's intelligence gathering program. Was it you?

The "Scooter" Libby trial, did it pain you?

The Senate Judiciary Committee is subpoenaing Karl Rove in connection with the firing of federal prosecutors. Why shouldn't he appear?

But the public might say, what have you got to hide?

So he -- so he [Rove] will not appear?

General Powell says he would close Guantanamo yesterday. Would you?

You have to torture them when they're there?

How come in the past though there's been a question on that?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't recall -- first of all, I haven't seen the story. And I don't recall that I gave instructions to that effect.

Q That would be something you would recall.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I would think so. But certainly I was involved because I was a big advocate of the Terrorist Surveillance Program, and had been responsible and working with General Hayden and George Tenet to get it to the President for approval. By the time this occurred, it had already been approved about 12 times by the Department of Justice. There was nothing new about it.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to worry our little heads over politics? Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could just turn over control of all those   more...vexing issues, including our health, welfare and very survival, to some nice men in Washington who would take care of all it for us, occasionally interrupting our somnambulance with this week’s latest thing - Communists! Terrorists! Lindsay Lohan! - to distract our attention?
Unfortunately, for far too many of us, this is actually precisely what is desired. And don’t think Karl Rove doesn’t know it.

Politically speaking, we are a radically lazy society. Thinking, let’s admit it, is hard work. Many people don’t realize that, but then, many people haven’t really had the experience. For some folks it’s the cognitive equivalent of traveling abroad to a foreign land - done occasionally for a change of pace, if at all. Rigorously exploring and thoughtfully understanding our world is not easy. “Politics ain’t beanbag”, as the man once said, though he meant it rather differently. Far less demanding to defer to simple stereotypes, canned passion plays and quasi-religious political morality tales than to actually do our homework, apply the logic, and generate original thinking. And hey, if you do take the easy way out, you’ll still have plenty of time to catch the game on TV!

Moreover, there are lots of friendly people in Washington who would very much appreciate the opportunity to do your thinking for you. They are called conservatives - though I think regressive is a far more accurate term - and they have been getting lots of practice in recent years. They’ll be glad to make your political decisions for you, and even provide you a fully developed, off-the-shelf, ready-to-use reality, any time you like. All you have to do is not think, and not learn. Or, if you really must have the sensory input, simply confine yourself to the infotainment of Fox News or Star magazine. (Though that whole reading thing is to be especially discouraged. Posh Spice is the operative model here. Lots of glamour, lots of money, lots of celebrity, lots of bling. Little substance. She apparently once told an interviewer that she had never read a book - any book - in her entire life. Now that’s something, isn’t it? You gotta love that. You go, Girl! There may be a Presidential Medal of Freedom waiting for you if you keep on pioneering the way toward Karl Rove’s dream citizenry. And why not? Paul Bremer got one, and all he did was destroy a historic civilization of 25 million people.)

We in the progressive community know that not everybody in America thinks the way we do. But we would probably be well served also by a recognition that some people in this country don’t want to think at all. It is possible that some of these Borg could be knee-jerk progressives instead of knee-jerk regressives were they somehow to be re-assimilated into the reality-based community, but the odds are not high. So much of progressive thinking requires careful reflection, extended analytical probing, and a collection of just plain data - factual information - about what is going on in the world. So much of regressive ‘thinking’ fits nicely, and completely, on a bumper sticker.

“Support our troops!”, to wit, and quite literally a bumper sticker seen all over the place (though noticeably less ubiquitous than it was in 2003). Literally a bumper sticker, that is, but not so literal in its meaning, especially since the most obvious way to support our troops - right here, right now - would be to pull them out of harm’s way, where they sit today for no conscionable purpose whatsoever. Otherwise, short of that, really supporting our troops today would mean screaming and hollering at the top of our lungs to make sure that they get adequate training, armor, and rest before being deployed.
