Americans Have Lost Their Country by Paul Craig Roberts March 1, 2007

The Bush-Cheney regime is America’s first neoconservative regime. In a few short years, the regime has destroyed the Bill of Rights, the separation of powers, the Geneva Conventions, and the remains of America’s moral reputation along with the infrastructures of two Muslim countries and countless thousands of Islamic civilians. Plans have been prepared, and forces moved into place, for an attack on a third Islamic country, Iran, and perhaps Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon as well.
-Yes you are 100% right, the U.S. is taking over the entire middle east.

This extraordinary aggressiveness toward the US Constitution, international law, and the Islamic world is the work, not of a vast movement, but of a handful of ideologues – principally Vice President Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Lewis Libby, Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Elliott Abrams, Zalmay Khalilzad, John Bolton, Philip Zelikow, and Attorney General Gonzales. These are the main operatives who have controlled policy. They have been supported by their media shills at the Weekly Standard, National Review, Fox News, New York Times, CNN, and the Wall Street Journal editorial page and by "scholars" in assorted think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute.
-The U.S. constitution has been eroded over time whenever it interferes with "the plan", as far as international law, raw power is the law, international law is words, ignored because it has no teeth, thus meaningless.

The entirety of their success in miring the United States in what could become permanent conflict in the Middle East is based on the power of propaganda and the big lie.
-We are faced with permanent conflict until the world is united, the lie is easier than the truth.

Initially, the 9/11 attack was blamed on Osama bin Laden, but after an American puppet was installed in Afghanistan, the blame for 9/11 was shifted to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, who was said to have weapons of mass destruction that would be used against America. The regime sent Secretary of State Colin Powell to tell the lie to the UN that the Bush-Cheney regime had conclusive proof of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
-Osama bin Laden is a patsy. Of course the U.S. will install a U.S. governor in a conquered territory? and of course evidence will be manufactured or dug up to gain support to roll over the next target.

Having conned the UN, Congress, and the American people, the regime invaded Iraq under totally false pretenses and with totally false expectations. The regime’s occupation of Iraq has failed in a military sense, but the neoconservatives are turning their failure into a strategic advantage. At the beginning of this year President Bush began blaming Iran for America’s embarrassing defeat by a few thousand lightly armed insurgents in Iraq.
-Naturally it has to be painted as a disaster, that's how to justify escalation, but in fact it is going perfect, civil war, religious sectarian violence, deconstruction of the existing order, chaos, we are building massive military bases, if chaos reigns so what, let it run its course, in fact we can claim Iran, Syria is behind it, clever huh?

Bush accuses Iran of arming the Iraqi insurgents, a charge that experts regard as improbable. The Iraqi insurgents are Sunni. They inflict casualties on our troops, but spend most of their energy killing Iraqi Shi’ites, who are closely allied with Iran, which is Shi’ite. Bush’s accusation requires us to believe that Iran is arming the enemies of its allies.
The American public does not think that deeply about anything, it does not matter, as long as the average person believes Iran is screwing with us we can maintain some support to carry out what has to be done.

On the basis of this absurd accusation – a pure invention – Bush has ordered a heavy concentration of aircraft carrier attack forces off Iran’s coast, and he has moved US attack planes to Turkish bases and other US bases in countries contingent to Iran. In testimony before Congress on February 1 of this year, former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said that he expected the regime to orchestrate a "head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large." He said a plausible scenario was "a terrorist act blamed on Iran, culminating in a ‘defensive’ US military action against Iran." He said that the neoconservative propaganda machine was already articulating a "mythical historical narrative" for widening their war against Islam.
Rolling over the Islamic world requires at least moderate support of the masses, if we have to attack ourselves to facilitate this, so be it, the end justifies the means. The masses within the western world do not have to have a firm grasp of Geo-political strategy of securing the globe under one arm, all they have to do is be afraid, a primal emotion easily controlled.

Why is the US spending one trillion dollars on wars, the reasons for which are patently false. What is going on?

There are several parts to the answer. Like their forebears among the Jacobins of the French Revolution, the Bolsheviks of the communist revolution, and the National Socialists of Hitler’s revolution, neoconservatives believe that they have a monopoly on virtue and the right to impose hegemony on the rest of the world. Neoconservative conquests began in the Middle East because oil and Israel, with which neocons are closely allied, are both in the Middle East. The American oil giant, UNOCAL, had plans for an oil and gas pipeline through Afghanistan, but the Taliban were not sufficiently cooperative. The US invasion of Afghanistan was used to install Hamid Karzai, who had been on UNOCAL’s payroll, as puppet prime minister. US neoconservative Zalmay Khalilzad, who also had been on UNOCAL’s payroll, was installed as US ambassador to Afghanistan.
It has nothing to do with a monopoly on virtue, the idea that all ideas and religions or worldviews have equal credence or truth is silly, obviously the most powerful one will crush the rest, screaming equality is meaningless, their is no such thing, but a novel little idea of children and the naive.
Two years later Khalilzad was appointed US ambassador to Iraq. American oil companies have been given control over the exploitation of Iraq’s oil resources.
-By what silly concept would the U.S. simply hand over control of a valuable resource, equality again, or some kind of childlike fairness concept.
The Israeli relationship is perhaps even more important. In 1996 Richard Perle and the usual collection of neocons proposed that all of Israel’s enemies in the Middle East be overthrown. "Israel’s enemies" consist of the Muslim countries not in the hands of US puppets or allies. For decades Israel has been stealing Palestine from the Palestinians such that today there is not enough of Palestine left to comprise an independent country. The US and Israeli governments blame Iran, Iraq, and Syria for aiding and abetting Palestinian resistance to Israel’s theft of Palestine.
Yes the strong overcome the weak, welcome to earth, Israel is a fancy name for a U.S. military presence in the region. The entire middle east will be dominated and dismantled because we can, that simple.
The Bush-Cheney regime came to power with the plans drawn to attack the remaining independent countries in the Middle East and with neoconservatives in office to implement the plans. However, an excuse was required. Neoconservatives had called for "a new Pearl Harbor," and 9/11 provided the propaganda event needed in order to stampede the public and Congress into war. Neoconservative Philip Zelikow was put in charge of the 9/11 Commission Report to make certain no uncomfortable facts emerged.
So the twin towers were toppled to facilitate world government, if they were not, we face a nuclear Islamic superstate than turns us into powder in 2030, make a choice.
The neoconservatives have had enormous help from the corporate media, from Christian evangelicals, particularly from the "Rapture Evangelicals, " from flag-waving superpatriots, and from the military- industrial complex whose profits have prospered. But the fact remains that the dozen men named in the second paragraph above were able to overthrow the US Constitution and launch military aggression under the guise of a preventive/preempti ve "war against terrorism."
The evangelicals were a convenient support base to manipulate, already in place, using religious doctrine they can be whipped up into a frenzy, making them super patriots, again the end justifies the means, manipulating populations to achieve the end goal is acceptable, because it can be done, all else is irrelevant.
When the American people caught on that the "war on terror" was a cloak for wars of aggression, they put Democrats in control of Congress in order to apply a brake to the regime’s warmongering. However, the Democrats have proven to be impotent to stop the neoconservative drive to wider war and, perhaps, world conflagration. We are witnessing the triumph of a dozen evil men over American democracy and a free press.
Obviously you are under the belief that the American people control something, they are too incredibly uneducated and fanatically religious to be put in charge of a hot dog stand, let alone the future of the world. Democracy is a tool used to give the illusion of representative government, through media and control election outcomes are managed those who are elected are already players, puppets who have no real power at all in any case. There is far too much at stake to leave the future in the hands of a collectively, mentally ill mob of citizenry. The illusions handed down to populations are palatable for the most part, but when people ask too many questions they find answers they may not want to hear. Opposing a global one world superstate is like biting on a rock, the old world will crack and and crush its teeth and then disappear into time, we all will have it, served up hot or served up cold, its perhaps our only choice, our own nature of acceptance. A state in the world must exist where our missiles are pointed outward instead of inward at each other, this must be achieved at all costs, whomever or whatever opposes this will be crushed, this end does justify any means.-Citizen
