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!
