Modern Fascisme

Mijns inziens geeft dit accuraat de stand van zaken in de wereld weer.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.

Geen complottherie. Het gaat over think tank The Project for a New American Century.

The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a “global Pax Americana� was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled, “Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century,� was written in September, 2000, by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: “The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.�

The PNAC document supports a “blueprint for maintaining global U.S. pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests.�

This “American grand strategy� must be advanced for “as far into the future as possible,� the report says. It also calls for the U.S. to “fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars� as a “core mission.�

The report describes American armed forces abroad as “the cavalry on the new American frontier.� The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the U.S. must “discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role.�

The PNAC report also:

- refers to key allies such as the UK as “the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership�;

- describes peace-keeping missions as “demanding American political leadership rather than that of the United Nations�;

- reveals worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA;

- says “even should Saddam pass from the scene� bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently -- despite domestic opposition in the Gulf regimes to the stationing of U.S. troops -- as “Iran may well prove as large a threat to U.S. interests as Iraq has�;

- spotlights China for “regime change� saying “it is time to increase the presence of American forces in southeast Asia.� This, it says, may lead to “American and allied power providing the spur to the process of democratisation in China�;

- calls for the creation of “U.S. Space Forces�, to dominate space, and the total control of cyberspace to prevent “enemies� using the internet against the U.S.;

- hints that, despite threatening war against Iraq for developing weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. may consider developing biological weapons -- which the nation has banned -- in decades to come. It says: “New methods of attack -- electronic, 'non-lethal', biological -- will be more widely available ... combat likely will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the world of microbes ... advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool�;

- and pinpoints North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes and says their existence justifies the creation of a “world-wide command-and-control system.�

Tam Dalyell, the Labour MP, father of the House of Commons and one of the leading rebel voices against war with Iraq, said: “This is garbage from right-wing think-tanks stuffed with chicken-hawks -- men who have never seen the horror of war but are in love with the idea of war; men like Cheney, who were draft-dodgers in the Vietnam war.

“This is a blueprint for U.S. world domination -- a new world order of their making. These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing.�

PNAC, a “non-profit educational organization,� is not hiding its intentions. It's members, a who's who of Republican Party insiders, claim to be “dedicated to a few fundamental propositions: That American leadership is good both for America and for the world; that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle; and that too few political leaders today are making the case for global leadership.�

Nogmaals, op de website staat het allemaal duidelijk en helder. Niks geen 'duister complot'.

Op forums blijkt idd vaak dat nog veel mensen problemen hebben met lezen. Vooral wanneer het topic 'wat moeilijk' ligt. Maar zullen we nu weer ontopic gaan dan?

Ik schreef ONtopic, en dus niet OFFtopic.

Het was al een oud artikel (Herald Tribune), wat ik zo snel even heb kunnen vinden. Alle respectabele kranten hebben er al over geschreven. Of dat "makkelijk" is lijkt me niet relevant, het gaat om de inhoud.

En wat vonden jullie bijv. van het plan om een biologisch wapen te ontwikkelen dat etnische groepen e.d. kan targeten?

De Amerikaanse handelswijze is trouwens: eerst 'vrijheidsstrijders' maken (bewapenen en finiancieren) om ze te laten vechten voor de Amerikaanse zaak, en wanneer de vrijheidsstrijders doorkrijgen dat ze genaaid zijn, worden het opeens 'terroristen'.

Reagan prees de mudjahedin in Afganistan (cq Al-Quaida, waaronder Osama Bin Laden) als zijnde "freedom fighters" in de traditie van de "founding fathers". Omdat hij ze kon inzetten tegen de Russen. Zijn dank werd uitgedrukt in geld, wapens en training (door CIA en Pakistaanse veiligheidsdienst).

Zo leverde Amerika ook gifgas aan Saddam Hoessein, in de hoop dat hij het op Iran zou dumpen.

En voor mensen die nog steeds geloven (het lijkt wel een religie tegenwoordig) dat Amerika een soort Disneyland is:

Corporate America helped to finance the rise of Hitler and continued during World War II to provide economic support for Nazi Germany. For example, according to former New York Times reporter Charles Higham, in 1944, with the active support of the State Department, 48,000 tons a month of American oil were exported to Germany via Spain (Franco) (Wall Street & the rise of Hitler - The Nazi-American Money Plot 1933-1949). According to Henry Ford, the purpose of this policy was to provide the means for Nazi Germany and Great Britain to destroy each other, leaving the field to the US (Page 157).
This aim was excellently fulfilled. At the end of World War II not only was Germany ruined but the British empire also went down, with obvious advantages for corporate interests in the US. Wall Street's investments in Hitler were highly profitable.

Sutton makes that case that several Wall Street firms were deeply involved in financing the rise to power of the National Socialist German Workers Party (i.e., the Nazis) in pre-World War II Germany. Sutton shows that first, Wall Street financed the German cartels in the 1920's, second, that Wall Street indirectly financed Hitler and the Nazi Party, prior to their rise in power in Germany, third, that Wall Street firms profited from the build-up to war and the war itself, even after the U.S. got involved, and finally, that U.S. firms worked to cover up their complicity after the war.

This book demonstrates how "American" multinational corporations, who entered into cartel agreements with I.G. Farben, German General Electric, and a few other firms allowed the Nazis to greatly increase the ability of Germany to wage war. Without many of the processes developed by American firms being given to the Germans, there is NO WAY that the Nazis could have fought as long as as hard as they did.

Ja, zoals de Joint Strike Fighter?
