TAKING ON THE PNAC

The Project for the New American Century, commonly called the PNAC, appears to be just another initialed group to many. Few U.S. citizens are aware of the organization and its goals.

To make my point, a few nights ago, I spoke to the Atheist Coalition of San Diego about my upcoming book, The Mother of all Battles. There were about 70 people in the audience, most of whom are above-average in political knowledge compared to the general public. When I asked who had heard of the PNAC, only about 20 people raised their hands. This shows that even many people who are politically aware lack knowledge of the group.

In 1997, the PNAC published its agenda. It is no secret. The group has a website (www.newamericancentury.org) on which it states the 21st century is America’s time to take over the world militarily. It designates areas of the world by numbers and how and why to get them conquered.

Sounds like a bunch of nutcases. Well, the signers of the statement of principles are, but, unfortunately, many are well-entrenched in today’s U.S. administraton: Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, William Bennett, Dick Cheney, Eliot A. Cohen, Zalmay Khalizad, I. Lewis Libby, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz are just some of the signers. Even Jeb Bush, the person who rigged the Florida election results in the 2000 election, is on board.

1. Get a load of this...

On January 14, 2005, Wallace filed a class-action suit in U.S. District Court in Reno, Nevada against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. It was served on January 17, 2006. According to the document: "This class action lawsuit seeks an injunction against the Defendants from further implementation of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) without a constitutional 2/3 vote of Congress and full education of the American public. The lawsuit alleges the plan was the basis for deception behind the Iraq war."

Wallace explained the reasons for the lawsuit: "We have a situation in the country that is so dire, it needs to be corrected. I’m not asking for any legal fees for myself. It’s a private treaty not authorized by Congress, and by doing so, they’ve stepped outside their job descriptions. They’ve lied to the American public and the Congress about the war in Iraq by entering into a private treaty. If the public agrees to it, and they get a two-thirds vote of Congress, then I have nothing further to say.

"However, a finding by the court that they have acted outside their job description in violation of the constitution would make them personally liable to anyone who has been damaged by engaging in the war in Iraq. Everybody. Iraqi citizens, the legitimate Iraqi government, U.S. military personnel; everybody."

According to Wallace, "They can’t ignore the suit. They have 30 days to respond."

Unlike various other political organizations working under the guise of raising funds for the anti-war effort that eventually go to the coffers of either the Democratic Party or Democratic politicians, every cent that Wallace receives will go to the lawsuit against Bush and Cheney that is aimed at stopping the PNAC in its tracks. Check out Wallace’s website (www.wallacevbushlawsuit.com ) to read much more about the background of the lawsuit.

2. The intent and wording is great, but the suit was filed over a year
ago. If they had 30 days to respond, what happened?

4. My appologies! I didn't read the link.
Isn't it strange that they filed it a year prior to that?

5. That's okay
And remember, the wheels of justice turn slowly. In BushCo's case, I hope they're monster truck wheels and that they turn VERY slowly when they finally run this cabal down.

Da-tump...da-tump -- sometimes it's a very satisfying sound!

6. You are right about wanting the process to take it's time
these are criminals with very short attention spans. As soon as it drops off CNN the dopes think they have it made. They act all shocked when it finally catches up but GUESS WHAT SUCKERS. Slow and steady wins the race.

And for those of you who don't want to donate--consider sending his letter to the courts.

8. the "what's new"
the What's New on the PNAC webpage hasn't been updated for quite a while. I guess not too many people want to be associated with them anymore.

That chairman, William Kristol, once wrote an article called "87 billion dollar well spend". That was about the Iraq war. According to Informationclearinghouse.info, it is now $238,325,697,922.

And counting...
