John McCain Watch: PNAC Connections
Over its two terms, the George W. Bush administration has planted the seeds for this geopolitical master plan, and now appears to be counting on the McCain administration, if one comes to power, to nurture it.
The US is in its current disastrous economic state becuase of one basic principle: spend heavily on defense and never stop spending. It has lead to several axioms:
- The US is the world’s largest supplier of military equipment and weaponry.
- The US is the world’s largest debtor nation.
- Military contractors are some of the most profitable on the planet.
- This industry threatens the lifestyle of people every day.
We see this situation evolving in Canada, although not with the trumpeting that is witnessed in the US. Here, it’s just not as cool to say that you’re hell bent on multiple wars on multiple fronts, so we get tepid little announcements about our level of defense spending that quickly get brushed aside by our media.
Under the Prospect for a New American Century (PNAC), which McCain is an adherent of, there is the the document called Rebuilding America’s Defense (RAD). In brief, here are some of the chilling guiding principles of the RAD:
- Fighting and winning multiple, simultaneous major wars – CHECK
- Designing and deploying global missile defense systems – CHECK
- The use of genocidal biological warfare for political expediency – please tell me this isn’t true, although I’ve heard lots about depleted uranium and other ‘tools of the trade’ that mimic biological warfare.
- Rejection of the United Nations – CHECK
- Control of space and cyberspace – CHECK
With this checklist in mind, watch what continues to be brought down in the Canadian House of Parliament. Many pieces of legislation designed to protect us or inhibit crime are all thinly veiled works of art that reflect the principles laid out above.
So tell me: has anyone on the Left ever proposed a “Prospect for World Peace” that would outline what has to be done to create a world of civility and happiness instead of war-mongering and hate?
If so, I’d love to see it!

HEADLINE: CALLS FOR DEEPER INVESTIGATION INTO ILLEGAL ARMS TRADE

Many American politicians are pushing for an investigation into the illegal trade of arms and weaponry. They insinuate that a number of countries are selling weapons to terrorist organizations, including the Taliban,
UN Official Calls for Study of Neocons’ Role in 9/11
This is rather shocking when you really think about it. Here’s an internationally recognized figure calling for a proper investigation into 9/11. And suggesting that the Neocons may have had something to do with it.
Quote from Richard Falk, the new UN Human Rights Council appointed to monitor Israeli actions against Palestinians:
It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don’t think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess.
Chertoff Says Fingerprint Data isn’t Personal
The US used to be the model for leading the world in terms of how to treat its citizens. Unfortunately, they’re leading still, but taking us all down a very different path. It used to be that any kind of personal data, be it your address or habits or fingerprints were sacrosant and untouchable. Today, it’s just another piece of necessary info to fight the war on terror.
What amazes me is how Americans have given up. It’s disheartening to all because they used to offer the world a reason to be optimistic.
The Great Catch All Phrase
Al-Qaeda seems to have become the great catch all phrase used to goad people into voting / buying / transaction / doing what they’re told.
Here’s a couple of stories.
