"You have to hand it to America. A
clinical manipulation of
power worldwide masquerading as a force for
universal good."
Harold Pinter, 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature
"Evil deeds will be the spark that
sets the fire. Their evil works will burn
up, and no one will be able to put out the fire." - Isaiah 1:31
"Suspension of international
politics through hegemony has been the fundamental aim of
US foreign policy since
the 1940s. The US has assumed the responsibility for maintaining geopolitical
stability in Europe, East Asia and the Persian Gulf, and for keeping open the
lines of communication through which world trade moves. Since the Cold War's
end, the US has sought to preserve its hegemony by possessing a margin of
military superiority so vast that it can keep any would-be great power pliant
and protected." - Christopher Layne and Benjamin Schwarz
"The historical record shows that
in the real world, hegemony never has been a winning grand strategy. The reason
is simple: The primary aim of states in international politics is to survive
and maintain their sovereignty. When one state becomes too powerful - becomes a
hegemon - the imbalance of power in its favor is a menace to the security of
all other states. So throughout modern international political history, the
rise of a would-be hegemon always has triggered the formation of
counter-hegemonic alliances by other states." - Christopher Layne
"The rot of imperialism, which
is always incompatible with democracy, has seen the military and arms
manufacturers monopolize $1 trillion a year in defense-related spending in the
US even as the nation faces economic collapse." - Christopher Hedges
02/10/10
"A society becomes totalitarian
when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial, that is when its ruling class
has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud." -
George Orwell |
"Dominion of the world from end to end is
worth
less than one drop of blood upon the earth."
- Saadi of Shiraz
"Since 1945
neo-cons have insisted on
acquiring and maintaining military supremacy. The US continues to expand its
power and military reach. " - Robert Kagan
"Two centuries ago, a former
European colony decided to catch up with Europe. It succeeded so well that the
USA became a monster, in which the taints, the sickness and the inhumanity of
Europe have grown to appalling dimensions." - Frantz Fanon
"Transnational elite is indeed running the old
world order, and they will for a while longer. Most empires are destined to
implode. The overreach of the American empire (more than 700 military
installations around the world in 120 nations), coupled with a defense budget
of $1 trillion annually (all related "defense" expenditures) cannot be long
sustained." - Mitch Paradise
"What can one say of a culture that
makes everything a "war on this" or a "war on that"? Where the popular
language, the national mindset, is seemingly fixated on the glory and necessity
of conquest? I realize that this characterization of American political culture
is just a reflection of the "false consciousness" of
the elites on ordinary Americans. That's
why antiwar.com
exists - to counter this false consciousness,
to expose the lies of the
War Party and create a
counter-culture of antiwar and anti-authoritarian consciousness. No matter
which party is in power, this movement is growing and will grow beyond the
power of States to tame or stop it - and that's the power our
own rulers, and the
rulers of States all around the world, fear
the most ." - Justin Raimondo
SECURITY
"I am absolutely convinced, you
never have to give
up any freedom in order to be secure." Ron Paul
"I am a retired
military officer who served his country for 30 years. In all that time, I never
questioned my supreme duty to support, defend and bear true allegiance to the
Constitution. All too often history proves that demagogues hide behind the
mantras of national security and national interests." - Paul LaBonte
"In the end, more than freedom,
they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all -
security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give
to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for
most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was
never free again." - Edward Gibbon
The
five permanent members of the
United Nations Security Council are the US,
Russia, China, France and the
United Kingdom.
The US exports more weapons than any other nation on
Earth.
The US, Russia,
China, France and the UK are the major
suppliers and exporters of military hardware and are in
possession of most of the weapons on the face of the
Earth.
The administrations of
Ronald Reagan and
George Herbert Walker Bush authorized
the sale to Iraq of items having both military and civilian applications,
including toxic chemicals and
deadly biological viruses,
such as Bacillus Anthracis
and Clostridium botulinum,
in an effort to arm Iraq
against the Iranian 'threat'.
The US and its European allies provided
the regime of Saddam Hussein
with its chemical and biological weapons. While American officials publicly
condemned Iraq's employment of mustard gas, sarin, VX and other poisonous
agents, sixty Defense Intelligence Agency officers were secretly providing
detailed information on Iranian deployments, tactical planning for battles,
plans for airstrikes and bomb-damage assessments for
Iraq.
2000 US global military sales are averaging between $10 and
$13 billion per year.
2001 to 2005 US delivers
2,099 surface-to-air missiles to nations in the developing world, 20% more than
Russia, the next largest supplier.
During that same period, the US sent 10 "major surface combatants" like
frigates and destroyers to developing nations. Collectively, the four major
European weapons producers shipped thirteen. Along with the ships the US
provided 338 anti-ship missiles. Russia supplied 180 anti-ship
missiles.
2006
Pentagon inked arms sales
agreements worth $21 billion.
"The "business" of the US Intelligence
Community is the national
security, and today that security is threatened by a chaotic multiplicity
of adversaries and enemies, real and potential [and imagined]. These
threats know no national or regional boundaries or borders, there is no clearly
defined battlefield. They are fueled by a world beset by competition over
resources, land, information, and
ideologies. To one degree or another,
all nations are affected by the phenomenon known as
globalization. While it has benefitted
many, its underside fierce competition for global energy reserves and emerging
markets, tremendous disparities
between rich and poor nations, criminal
networks that create and feed black markets in drugs and even human beings,
and the rapid transmission of disease all breed potential threats to our
security." - US Intelligence Community (USIC)
"We know the US sells more weapons
abroad than any other nation, and we know
it is war above all that
makes the bankers rich." - Richard C. Cook
2004 Viktor Bout is hired by
George Walker Bush to deliver
110,000 AK-47 assault rifles and 80,000 pistols from an American base in Bosnia
to Iraq security forces. The weapons never arrived. Viktor Bout is known to
have delivered weapons to Charles Taylor, the Angola government and rebel
forces opposing the Angola government,
the Taliban and radical Salafists
in Mogadishu.
2006 "The people of America
have been required to give up much in the way of privacy and personal rights in
the 'war on terror', but
when it comes to interfering in a
business decision, our government is quite willing to jeopardize national
security." - Thomas W. McCarthy, comment on allowing a United Arab Emirate
state of Dubai corporation to run stevedore services at 12 East Coast ports and
nine ports in the Gulf of Mexico
2008The
Pentagon contracts military
trainers to 138 nations for $90 million.
Private military "contractors"
first outnumbered uniformed military personnel in Iraq. Of the more than sixty
major private military
corporations that supply mercenaries worldwide, more than 40 are based in
the US.
"While poor kids and middle-age National Guardsmen leave their
families and risk getting blown up in Iraq to defend freedom and democracy, back home
George Walker Bush proudly trades
away those principles and ideals at every opportunity in exchange for
small, and probably imaginary, slivers of increased security." - John
Miller
An independent analysis of 911 in
Florida released in September 2009 identified numerous inadequacies and offered
specific recommendations to rehabilitate a fragmented emergency response system
which fails to provide the very security it was set in place to perform.
Denise Amber Lee is kidnaped, raped, beaten, executed and buried.
Denise's father, Detective Rick Goff, was able to call on all area
state, county and municipal law-enforcement
agencies to search for Denise and her captor immediately following her
abduction. Denise Amber Lee called 911 from her abductor's cell phone. There
were at least four other calls to 911, one from her distraught husband and
three from eyewitnesses to the crimes as they were occurring.
One
witness gave the local sheriff's department an exact location of the crime
happening right before her eyes. She stayed on the phone for more than nine
minutes, identifying cross streets as she continued driving. Despite the fact
that as many as four patrol cars were within a mile of the car in which Denise
was fighting for her life, due to inefficiencies in the privately contracted
911 call center, none were dispatched.
Florida's 911 system was found
to be not a "system" at all, but rather a patchwork of state and local public
and private agencies, protocols, and technologies cobbled together to respond
to 911 calls.
911 in Florida had no single state agency to monitor how
effectively calls for emergency assistance are handled; the system was
underfunded on a statewide level; incomplete statewide coordination of
equipment used for emergency response; and no mandated, uniform training was
required in the state's 258 independently contracted call centers that handle
911 calls.
So if you feel secure let the story of Denise Amber Lee be a
reminder that no matter how secure you believe yourself to be
the entire law enforcement system of Florida
could not save the life of Denise Amber Lee, a Sheriff's daughter, even though
there were multiple opportunities to do so.
 "During a training session
in 1973 - when Nixon was at his most volatile - an officer posted at Vandenberg
Air Force Base in California asked what may have seemed a reasonable question:
"How can I know that an order I receive to launch my missiles came from a sane
president?" The answer came quickly. The inquiring officer, Major Harold
Hering, was discharged from the Air Force for "failure to demonstrate
acceptable qualities of leadership." He became a truck driver." - Stephen
Kinzer

B-36 Titan IV launch from Cape Canaveral on September 8,
2003
(payload classified, went into geosynchronous orbit)
| "The US is
the world's only superpower, combining preeminent military power, global
technological leadership, and the world's largest economy. ... Preserving the
desirable strategic situation in which the US now finds itself requires a globally
preeminent military capability both today and in the future. ... The
surplus expected in federal revenues over the next decade, however, removes any
need to hold defense spending to some preconceived low level. ... This report
proceeds from the belief that America should seek to preserve and extend its
position of global leadership by maintaining the preeminence of US military
forces." |
[To do
so America must:]
MAINTAIN NUCLEAR
STRATEGIC SUPERIORITY
| Basing the
US nuclear deterrent upon a global, nuclear net assessment that weighs the full
range of current and emerging threats, not merely the US -
Russia
balance. |
RESTORE PERSONNEL STRENGTH
| Of today's force to roughly the levels anticipated in the "Base
Force" outlined by George Herbert Walker
Bush, an increase in active-duty strength from 1.4 million to 1.6
million. |
REPOSITION US
FORCES
| To respond
to 21st century strategic realities by shifting permanently based forces to
Southeast Europe and Southeast Asia, and by changing naval deployment patterns
to reflect growing US strategic concerns in East Asia. |
MODERNIZE CURRENT US FORCES SELECTIVELY
| Proceeding
with the F-22 program while increasing purchases of lift, electronic support
and other aircraft; expanding submarine and surface combatant fleets;
purchasing Comanche helicopters and medium-weight ground vehicles for the Army,
and the V-22 Osprey "tilt-rotor" aircraft for the Marine Corps.
|
DEVELOP AND DEPLOY GLOBAL MISSILE
DEFENSES
CONTROL THE NEW "INTERNATIONAL COMMONS"
OF
SPACE AND "CYBERSPACE"
EXPLOIT THE "REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS"
| To insure
the long-term superiority of United States conventional forces. Establish a
two-stage transformation process which maximizes the value of current weapons
systems through the application of advanced
technologies, and, produces more profound improvements in
military capabilities, encourages
competition between single services and joint-service experimentation efforts.
|
INCREASE DEFENSE SPENDING
| Gradually
to a minimum level of 3.5 to 3.8 percent of gross domestic product, adding $15
billion to $20 billion to total defense spending annually. |

Project for the New
American Century was a neo-conservative
think tank that promotes an
ideology of total US
world domination through the use of
force. This report suggests that the mostly Zionist participants have an
extremely unrealistic opinion of reality!
Neoconservatives support
domination of other countries
not to benefit the peoples of those countries, not to protect "us" from the
"enemy," but to ensure and extend the power of the American
petroleum-military-industrial oligarchy. We are the invaders. We are the
imperialists. We are the bad guys." -
Kim Iannone |
"You will see what an
evil,
bitter thing it is."

"The management, then and now, truly
believes America is the master of the Earth and
anyone who defies us will be napalmed or
blockaded or covertly overthrown. We are beyond law, which is not unusual for
an empire; unfortunately, we are also
beyond common sense." - Gore Vidal
"Unilateral, illegitimate actions
have not managed to solve any problems. We are witnessing an almost uncontained
hyper-use of military force in international relationships."
- Vladmir Putin 02/07
"Just as the
Soviet Union destroyed itself under the weight
of its arms buildup, so will America collapse because of its looting of its
exchequer by war profiteers, unless the patriotic antiwar movement is able to
save America from that doom."- Omar Huda
"Man is born free; and everywhere
he is in chains. One thinks himself the master of others, and still remains a
greater slave than they."
Jean Jacques Rousseau

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of Life - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the
knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has
enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.
American
social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as
the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power
rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media
by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population
through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been
the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do
not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of
a perfect world. Through distraction and
coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
