Help!!! I need to explain PNAC to my repub brother,
Who has NEVER heard anything about it. Is there a website that I can send him a link, that is not too liberal, but exposes the crap that they are doing to us?

He is hardcore repub, and has little tolerance for anything democratic/liberal. I was totally shocked that he has no idea about this. And I don't want to alienate him (we just started talking again after a silence that lasted 5 yrs)

But if I could just educate him a little bit about the * administration....maybe, just maybe...I could change his vote next week.

(I doubt it, but I have to try)

Any help would be appreciated :)

1. they actually have their own web site.
http://www.newamericancentury.org

And they're pretty open about their agenda, or perhaps should I say they hide in plain sight.

3. You wouldn't believe how many of them don't know about it
Well actually you could since they are repukes hence, uninformed. You could just direct him to actual PNAC site itself. Point out that phrase in their mission statement letter about the Pearl Harbor type event that they need to get American support for them.

4. Send Him Straight To Their Site
Let him read it for himself, the whole Wolowitz doctrine is in there. Its at http://www.newamericancentury.org/

Show him where this mess was planned years and years ago, long before 9/11.

These men are in want of world domination, nothing less will do. The clown Bush is just a figurehead for the real power which come in via Cheney primarily.

5. Momof1, try this link: www.pnac.info/
Also, try to get him to read the book: "The New Pearl Harbor" by David R. Griffin - - www.interlinkbooks.com/BooksN/New_Pearl_Harbor.html
This book goes into every detail about the Bush Administration and their dealings with the PNAC planning their involvement with 9/11! Very telling book from what I hear.

Also, here's the actual PNAC website: www.newamericancentury.org/

7. How about getting him to watch 'hijacking catastrophe'? (it's online)
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 09:09 PM by lostnfound
That gets into the Wolfowitz doctrine/PNAC.

Online at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6895.htm

But I would suggest buying a copy instead, it's better than watching it on a computer screen, and the dvd has also got an abbreviated (30 minute) version. I think you can watch the main movie in sections.

8. OK, Where is the Original Doctrine stating that they would wait
for something big to happen, and what they would do afterward? I haven't seen it in a very long time. And unless they are now hiding it on the PNAC site.

I want him to read that first, then direct him to their website.

10. thank you. I saw the original PNAC site back in the late 90's
That is when I read it for the first time, and I have been sticking my head in the sand about it since then. After Clinton left office and all those idiots got placed in the highest offices...well it just scared the crap out of me. And I just never really went back, I read about updates and stuff on here...but the whole damn thing just gives me the creeps.

13. "I Feel Your Pain"
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 09:27 PM by MagicalSpork
I'm in a similar situation with my sister. We live in southern California, and she's a self-proclaimed "Schwarzenegger Republican" who believes in small government and kicking the butts of anyone who looks at us cockeyed.

Last night, she tried to engage me in political discussion, and I attempted - for the fifth time - to get her to take a look at the PNAC website. I said, "Listen. These are the people who are really running our country; many recognizable names like Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz. They're making their strategy available to ANYONE who will read it. It's not like this is some sort of secret or conspiracy theory."

Her reply was simply, "Yeah, yeah. You mention that every time we talk. You need to spend less time on the internet, browsing crazy liberal sites."

Good luck trying to break through cement with a toothpick.

14. Be careful, hardcore Repubs do not react to PNAC
like you or I would. A good majority of them get a big old jolly when they hear what PNAC is. Don't be suprised if he gets all misty eyed reading the PNAC site.
