"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
"The power of the killing machine rests in
the broad based popular support it receives through
the investment system and the financial
markets." - Catherine Austin
Fitts
"The hegemonic system is bound to strive after the annexation
of all independent states.
The Reich of the Nazis and the commonwealth
of the Marxians are planned as societies of undisturbed peace.
They are to be forged by pacification - the violent subjection of all
those not ready to yield without résistance." - Ludwig von
Mises
"Suspension of international politics through hegemony has been
the fundamental aim of US foreign policy since the 1940s.
Since the end
of the Cold War, 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 |
"Since 1945 neo-cons have insisted
on acquiring and maintaining military supremacy. The US continues to expand its
power and military reach. " -
Robert Kagan
Neoconservatism, whatever its
complex roots, has become indelibly associated with concepts like
coercive regime
change, unilateralism and American hegemony." - Francis
Fukuyama
"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
"I am absolutely convinced, you
never have to give
up any freedom in order to be secure." Ron Paul
"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.
Administrations of
Ronald Reagan and
George HW Bush authorized the sale to
Iraq of toxic chemicals and
deadly biological viruses,
such as Bacillus Anthracis and Clostridium botulinum, to arm Iraq
against Iran.
The US and
European allies provided Saddam Hussein chemical and biological weapons.
American officials claim Iraq has deployed mustard gas, sarin, VX.
Sixty Defense Intelligence Agency officers secretly provide 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 inks 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.
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, info 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.
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
Dubai corporation to run stevedore services at 12 East Coast ports and nine
ports in the Gulf of Mexico
2008 The
Pentagon contracts military trainers
to 138 nations.
Private military "contractors" now outnumber uniformed
military personnel in Iraq. Over sixty major
private military corporations
supply mercenaries worldwide, 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
"Without public debate and without
congressional hearings, a segment of the Pentagon and fellow travelers have
embraced a doctrine known as the Long
War, which projects an "arc of instability"
caused by insurgent groups from
Europe to South Asia that will last between 50 and 80 years. According to one
of its engineers, Iraq, Afghanistan and
Pakistan are just "small wars in
the midst of a big one." - Tom Hayden 03/28/10
"The heart of America's problems
rest with a corporate dominated public policy of perpetual military and class
warfare.
The tragic reality is a hell on Earth of suffering, hatred and
violence even in history's richest, most
technologically advanced
nation, leading to weapons of mass destruction and
suicide of humanity.
Unless Americans stop dodging the
connection between domestic and global crises and
public policy of perpetual warfare
treated as necessity, there is
no hope for America." -
Nicholas Seidita
 "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 HW 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
| To defend
the American homeland and allies, and to provide a secure basis for US power
projection around the world. |
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. |
INCREASE DEFENSE SPENDING
| To a
minimum level of 3.5 to 3.8% 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 promoted an ideology of total US
world domination.
"We are the invaders. We
are the imperialists." - Kim Iannone |

"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
People fear
death, an instrument of fate.
People killed by
execution rather than fate,
is like carving wood in place of a
carpenter.
Those carving wood in place
of a carpenter
often'r than naught injure their hands.
Lao
Tze
"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; yet overall 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
forged 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 the Lumière Infinie - 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 the Lumière Infinie 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
coöperation. Coöperation 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.
