Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

This New World Order would be led by Washington neoconservatives with the likes of the Carlyle Group, Halliburton, and Bechtel forming the new praetorian global guard in the manner of the ancient Rome that ultimately collapsed under the quicksand of its own towering greed.

The game plan was set forth by Samuel Huntington with his references to the "clashes of civilization," a concept he garnered from neocon icon Leon Strauss.  Zbiegniew Brzezinski carried the idea forward in his revealing work, "The Grand Chessboard".  

Brzezinski, a leading advocate of global empire, revealed that to muster American public opinion sufficiently to launch a great international onslaught to gobble up the world's leading oil depositories would require an event of the magnitude of Pearl Harbor.

The prospective event to which Brzezinski alluded occurred with the destruction of the World Trade Center.  

The neocons, led by leading spokespersons Cheney and Bush, used the 9/11 bombings to launch attacks and curtail civil liberties of American citizens, declaring "we are at war" without the constitutional requirement for such ever being realized, a declaration of war against a specific nation or nations.

That is the beauty of the neocon 9/11 global strategy.  You simply do whatever you declare needs to be done while questioning the patriotism of the opposition, using the repetitious mantras of "we are at war" and "you are playing into the hands of the terrorists by opposing us because we are attempting to keep you safe and secure."  

If anyone dares to request a thorough study of the roots of terrorism a stop sign rejoinder is provided:  "You must remember that the problem lies with the terrorists?"

Here is how Rumsfeld was accurate in his reference to a new wave of fascism.  It was none other than Third Reich Marshall Hermann Goering, one of the leading masterminds of Adolf Hitler's high command, who noted that it was a simple matter to rouse people into a warfare mindset.  All you need to do is tell people repetitiously that they are in danger of being attacked.  

When a backlash ensues and truth seekers warn against warmongering, Goering explains that these individuals be denounced as appeasers acting against the interests of the state.  "After all, we are only defending ourselves!" the saying goes.

In the case of the Third Reich a "peace loving" Hitler repeatedly cited self-defense as his grounds for attacking European nations.  Germans were, after all, receiving a hard time in Sudetenland and so Czechoslovakia provided a direct threat that must be extirpated by Hitler if Germans were to be able to live in peace and harmony.

Then there was the tactic of setting fire to the Reichstag and blaming it on the Communists.  The neocon government in Washington does not want an independent investigation into the 9/11 events.  Meanwhile Condoleezza Rice warns of the gigantic  mushroom cloud that looms for America if we do not pay heed and follow what Cheney, Bush, and Rumsfeld tell us.  

When Hitler was eager to attack Poland he had a plan to whip up the German masses.  Some unfortunate dupes were dressed up in Polish army uniforms and paraded as war instigators, creating a case for conflict, all in the interest of defending the German Fatherland.

In the case of the neocons, they pulled off their own grand con with the Perle-Wolfowitz ally Ahmad Chalabi and his "weapons of mass destruction" charade that Judith Miller dramatized so memorably in The New York Times.  

You remember The New York Times.  It's that allegedly left wing propaganda sheet that Ann Coulter reviles.

The neocon grand con encompasses lies, straw men, fake weapons, a supportive and submissive media, and a full court press designed to at least partially gratify an insatiable lust for global empire.

No Harry Reid, no Ted Kennedy, no Barbara Boxer, the answer does not lie in removing Donald Rumsfeld.  Rumsfeld is nothing more than one of many neocon spear-carriers.  Remove Rumsfeld and someone like him espousing the same policies will surface in his place.

The answer lies in facing up to the seemingly unimaginable in the timid world of the Democratic Party - making the case for impeachment against the major players of tyrannical regime intent on global domination being pursued under the guise of "peace" and "freedom."
