The Project for the New American Century (Samenvatting)
1. The Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, is a Washington-based think tank
created in 1997. Above all else, PNAC desires and demands one thing: The establishment of
a global American empire to bend the will of all nations. They chafe at the idea that the
United States, the last remaining superpower, does not do more by way of economic and
military force to bring the rest of the world under the umbrella of a new socio-economic Pax
Americana.
The fundamental essence of PNAC's ideology can be found in a White Paper produced in
September of 2000 entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources
for a New Century." In it, PNAC outlines what is required of America to create the global
empire they envision. According to PNAC, America must:
* Reposition permanently based forces to Southern Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle
East;
* Modernize U.S. forces, including enhancing our fighter aircraft, submarine and surface
fleet capabilities;
* Develop and deploy a global missile defense system, and develop a strategic dominance of
space;
* Control the "International Commons" of cyberspace;
* Increase defense spending to a minimum of 3.8 percent of gross domestic product, up
from the 3 percent currently spent.
Rhe PNAC document described four "Core Missions" for the American military. The two
central requirements are for American forces to "fight and decisively win multiple,
simultaneous major theater wars," and to "perform the 'constabulary' duties associated
with shaping the security environment in critical regions." Note well that PNAC does not
want America to be prepared to fight simultaneous major wars. In order to bring this plan to
fruition, the military must fight these wars one way or the other to establish American
dominance for all to see.
In what way does PNAC stand above the other groups that would set American foreign
policy if they could? Two events brought PNAC into the mainstream of American
government: the disputed election of George W. Bush, and the attacks of September 11th.
When Bush assumed the Presidency, the men who created and nurtured the imperial
dreams of PNAC became the men who run the Pentagon, the Defense Department and the
2. White House. When the Towers came down, these men turn their White Papers into
substantive policy.
Who is PNAC? Its members include:
* Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the PNAC founders, who served as Secretary of
Defense for Bush Sr.;
* I. Lewis Libby, Cheney's top national security assistant;
* Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, also a founding member, along with four of his
chief aides including;
* Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, arguably the ideological father of the group;
* Eliot Abrams, prominent member of Bush's National Security Council, who was pardoned
by Bush Sr. in the Iran/Contra scandal;
* John Bolton, who serves as Undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security in
the Bush administration;
* Richard Perle, former Reagan administration official and present chairman of the powerful
Defense Policy Board;
* Randy Scheunemann, President of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, who was
Trent Lott's national security aide and who served as an advisor to Rumsfeld on Iraq in 2001;
* Bruce Jackson, Chairman of PNAC, a position he took after serving for years as vice
president of weapons manufacturer Lockheed-Martin, and who also headed the Republican
Party Platform subcommittee for National Security and Foreign Policy during the 2000
campaign. His section of the 2000 GOP Platform explicitly called for the removal of Saddam
Hussein;
* WilliamKristol, noted conservative writer for the Weekly Standard, a magazine owned
along with the Fox News Network by conservative media mogul Ruppert Murdoch.
The Project for the New American Century seeks to establish what they call 'Pax Americana'
across the globe. Essentially, their goal is to transform America, the sole remaining
superpower, into a planetary empire by force of arms.
3. The first step of this Pax Americana was the removal of Saddam Hussein and the
establishment of an American protectorate in Iraq. The purpose of this is threefold:
1) To acquire control of the oilheads so as to fund the entire enterprise;
2) To fire a warning shot across the bows of every leader in the Middle East;
3) To establish in Iraq a military staging area for the eventual invasion and overthrow of
several Middle Eastern regimes.
Essential social, medical, educational and retirement services have to be gutted so that
those funds can be directed towards a military buildup. Actions taken abroad to establish
the preeminence of American power, most specifically in the Middle East, will bring a
torrent of terrorist attacks to the home front. Such attacks will bring about the final
suspension of constitutional rights and the rule of habeas corpus, as we will find ourselves
under martial law. In the end, however, this may be inevitable. An empire cannot function
with the slow, cumbersome machine of a constitutional democracy on its back. Empires
must be ruled with speed and ruthlessness.
President Bush jr. released on September 20th 2001 the "National Security Strategy of the
United States of America." It was an ideological match to PNAC's "Rebuilding America's
Defenses" report issued a year earlier. In many places, it used exactly the same language to
describe America's new place in the world.
The bankrollers from the WTO and the IMF will dictate financial terms to the entire planet.
This last aspect of the plan is pivotal.
