The Project for the New American Century (ONE of TWO)

Updated Archival Program
The enduring power of the Neo-conservative movement in the US

The program opens with the peace poem: “Speak Out” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, features General John Allen’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president with Bernie Sanders supporters shouting “no more war”; and ends with a reading by SF Mime Troupe founder R.G. Davis from the bone chilling neo-con plan for US global military dominance.

The original 2003 program by TUC Radio was an appeal for peace and a disclosure of a well guarded document “Rebuilding America’s Defenses, Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New American Century”. The document was commissioned by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and others in the year 2000, before any of them were in government. Named in the text are the countries to be invaded: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and maybe also Iran and North Korea. The document also stated that the American people would never agree to such a military global dominance project unless there was an event that galvanized public opinion – such as a new Pearl Harbor.

The think tank, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), that produced this blueprint was founded in 1997 by William Kristol and Robert Kagan, to this day prominent leaders in the Neo-Conservative movement.

The document has become important today because Robert Kagan was appointed as an adviser by Hillary Clinton when she became Secretary of State. Clinton also hired Kagan’s wife, Victoria Nuland, as her spokesperson. Nuland had previously served as a top aide to Vice President Cheney. Victoria Nuland, by her own admission, was personally involved in the recent regime change in Ukraine. In February 2016, Kagan gave Clinton his formal endorsement for President. Both are expected to take on important roles in a Hillary Clinton administration.
