Required reading: PNAC Primer

Many on the left are already aware of the PNAC (Project for the New American Century) and its extremist right-wing ideology. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this organization, it is a right-wing think tank, created in 1997 with the intent of advocating and lobbying for an imperialist bent on U.S. foreign policy. The scary part of this whole thing is that many of the founding members of this organization are now high-ranking members of the Bush administration. We’re talking the likes of Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, James Bolton, William Bennett, and Jeb Bush.

Let me correct that last part. For all intents and purposes, they ARE the Bush administration. Dumbya is really just along for the ride.

Anyway, back in 2003, in advance of the ’04 elections, Bernard Weiner wrote a “primer” on the PNAC. His purpose was to educate the American people on the real agenda of the Bush administration, in the light of the PNAC’s own paper trail. I’ve added the link below, because even today, it’s relevant to what we all see going on in our country. A quick word or warning though, this may make your skin crawl.

PNAC Primer

And to those who are well aware of the PNAC and say, “this is old news”… You’re right, it is old news. But in light of recent events, I think that the sleeping giant known as “We the People” is starting to wake up. I’m simply providing this as a public service to those among us who HAVE been asleep. Consider this your morning paper. Can I offer you some coffee?
