Project for a New American Century

What the hell is PNAC?
by Nick Levine

PNAC stands for the Project for the New American Century, and yes it is as creepy and foreboding as the name suggests. Basically, a group of far right Republicans got together in the mid 1990's to try to influence the course of the American future, and therefore, the course of the world. They believe that it is necessary for America to have a militaristic presence all over the world, and that this is the positive course of the future, for the planet. Of course to do this, they want to divert funds from other places to the military (the usual places: schools, health care, environmental safe guards). Essentially these men started PNAC to CHANGE THE COURSE OF THE FUTURE, and to bring America closer to a MILITARY DICTATORSHIP.
So who are these men? You might have heard of some of them: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush . . . many more members of our current legislative branch. The funny thing is that when they started PNAC their views were considered too radical for even the rest of the Republican Party, and they were the outsiders. Now things have changed, but not by luck. Is it coincidence that things fell in place for them? Let's see. . .
PNAC stated that they needed control of the executive branch of government and both houses of Congress to start implementing their plan for world domination. They also knew that the kind of laws they would need passed to get the PNAC plan on track would need a general change in political climate for the Congress to vote their way. They envisioned that one of the only ways to further their quest for American global domination was for some kind of attatck on U.S. soil to take place. I quote from one of their own reports "the process of transformation . . . is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic event . . . like a new Pearl Harbor." Figured it out yet? That was the 9/11 attack.
Well it is certainly lucky that the election was so close as to come down to Florida as the deciding state, but is wasn't luck that Jeb was there to insure that the election went the way they wanted. Was it luck that the twin towers got bombed? Information about the Al-Qaeda's plans to bomb the World Trade Center was on Bush's desk before the bombings (courtesy of the CIA), yet the disaster was not prevented. It is also well-documented that the British government sent reports warning the White House about an attack during the week of September 9th. It seems like the boys in charge might have believed that the loss of life would be a small price to pay to create the climate they needed to implement their plans. Only in the fearful post 9-11 days could these men pass the laws that they needed to, and boy, did they (not just the Patriot act, but many others). Looks like they got their "new Pearl Harbor". (This is conjecture, of course. I have no proof. Still, seems fishy dont' it?). Of course it does. During the attack, Bush did nothing in the kindergarten class he was reading to when White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer informed Bush of the first impact. Bush claimed that he "didn't want to frighten the children."
I had never heard of PNAC before my friend showed me the places to look on the net but it is right there for anyone to find. Just search on google.com for "PNAC" and the first thing that will come up is the official PNAC page! The following matches will be mainly liberal writers exposing PNAC, and it is from both these sources that I have gotten my information. But YOU have to look! The media will not tell you about PNAC and who is involved. Your TV newsman will never mention it and your local newspaper would rather tell you about ten peace protesters being arrested for stopping traffic. I have never been a conspiracy theorist, which is why this hits me so hard, and it should hit you too. Please spread the word, especially to those you know who are "undecided" on whom they will vote for. These PNAC fuckers are entrenched in leadership positions now, but it could be the beginning of the end for them a year from now if WE GET BUSH OUT OF OFFICE, any way possible.
This article is only the barest of introductions to PNAC. Just search PNAC on the web and learn from those more knowledgeable than me. Check the official PNAC website, and also check out Bernard Weiner's excellent introductory article at www.crisispapers.org/editorials/PNAC-primer.htm. He is very good about siting his references, and I learned a lot from his article.
