Oscar Heck: Anyways ... my point is ... actually ... I have no point to make in this article ... I just thought it was funny ... but...

VHeadline commentarist Oscar Heck writes: This must be the funniest thing ... or we honest, hard-woorking, tax-paying people are the ones being laughed at by a gang of super-wealthy American government thugs who can't even pay a measly website bill. The website for the 'Project for the New American Century' (PNAC) has been suspended. The page now reads, 'This account has been suspended. Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.'

But why is this so funny?

Because the signees for this project are amongst some of the wealthiest Americans and some of them work/worked in high places at the US government, paid with US tax dollars.

What is the PNAC?

Since one cannot access their site (newamericancentury.org) at the moment, I provide the following information about the PNAC from articles I wrote between 2003 and 2005:
The Heritage Foundation is an ultra conservative US-based "think tank" whose mission statement reads: "Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institute - a think tank - whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense." ... and on whose board sit two signees of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) ... a project whose aim is to promote the world take-over by the USA, as stated on their Google heading, "An educational organization supporting American global military, diplomatic, and moral leadership." The two Heritage Foundation PNAC signees are Midge Dector and Steve Forbes. Some of the other PNAC signees are Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.

If people think I am paranoid, listen to this ... the chairman of the board of the NED is Vin Weber ... who is also a signee at the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The PNAC is an organization which promotes US military, economic and social dominance (i.e., US world dominance). Their website states:
"...And they have not fought for a defense budget that would maintain American security and advance American interests in the new century. We aim to change this. We aim to make the case and rally support for American global leadership. ... Does the United States have the resolve to shape a new century favorable to American principles and interests? ... we need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our global responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for the future ... we need to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values ... we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad ...we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles."
(The NED is an American organization created by Reagan in the early 1980s to replace the CIA's clandestine financing of pro-American movements abroad, including military, mercenary and political. For example, Venezuela's violent Venezuelan opposition, principally led by the pro-USA CTV and Fedecamaras, was heavily financed by the NED. The CTV and Fedecamaras headed up the violent coup against Chavez in 2002 and the subsequent violence-ridden economic sabotage of the country in 2002 and 2003.)
  • Among the many statements at the PNAC website: "PNAC is ... an educational organization supporting American global military, diplomatic, and moral leadership."
Some people who are members of the PNAC are also 'officials' at the US State Department. Some PNAC members are also part of the present US government and at least one PNAC member is at the NED.

More from the PNAC website:
According to the PNAC website 'Established in the spring of 1997, the Project for the New American Century is a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership.'

This statement sounds innocuous enough. However, as one reads on one finds the following:

The PNAC signing members are:
  • Elliott Abrams
  • Gary Bauer
  • William J. Bennett
  • Jeb Bush
  • Dick Cheney (also Vice President of the USA)
  • Eliot A. Cohen
  • Midge Decter
  • Paula Dobriansky (also Under Secretary, Global Affairs),
  • Steve Forbes
  • Aaron Friedberg
  • Francis Fukuyama
  • Frank Gaffney
  • Fred C. Ikle
  • Donald Kagan
  • Zalmay Khalilzad (also Ambassador, Afghanistan)
  • I. Lewis Libby
  • Norman Podhoretz
  • Dan Quayle
  • Peter W. Rodman
  • Stephen P. Rosen
  • Henry S. Rowen
  • Donald Rumsfeld (also US Secretary of Defense)
  • Vin Weber (also Chairman, NED)
  • George Weigel
  • Paul Wolfowitz (also US Deputy Secretary of Defense)
Might we assume that Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney (above) can't afford to pay for their website? (I am assuming that since they are signees at the PNAC, they must also have some involvement with the PNAC.)

Nah … this sounds just like,'Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.'

Must we then assume that the PNAC is going broke? If so, can we thus assume that Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney and their buddies don't know how to manage a business?

Yeah ... that sounds like, 'Look at that mess inn Iraq and all the money we threw out the window. We are going broke now.'

Anyways ... my point is ... actually ... I have no point to make in this article. I just thought it was funny ... but ... on second thought ... there may be a point to all of this.

If Cheney and Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and George Bush's brother can't even run a successful business (the PNAC) - let alone a country - then can we really believe that the PNAC's vision of "American global military, diplomatic, and moral leadership" is in the best interest of humanity?

Chavez and Chavez' supporters certainly don't want to be subjects of the PNAC's American Empire, and with good reason. If the whole world followed in the footsteps of the capitalist USA, if the whole world took decisions like those taken by Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush, the world would be a total disaster ... bills would not get paid ... and businesses woulduld go broke … war would be everywhere … jails overflowing ... torture chambers at every corner ... and radiation and chemicaal war residues would eventually liquidate all human, animal and flora populations of our Mother Earth. In fact, there would be no more world. Death would reign.
  • That is what is meant by supporters of Chavez when they say, 'Socialismo o muerte,' socialism or death.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see this ... but clearly not the signees at the PNAC.
