The Monkey and the Mango Vase

Alright... so besides being bloodthirsty vampires, the bankers and the Neo-Cons must be practical men, right? They must realize that if it gets badly out of control that their heads are going to wind up on pikes. These men have gone to the best schools and associate with all sorts of others who advise and inform them. It must be that greed is like a fever and like the monkey whose hand is trapped in the vase by his grip on the mango... they just can’t let go. With one hand already trapped they are still looking everywhere for another vase with a mango in it.

It can’t possibly be sane to want billions of dollars. It comes to a point where you just can’t spend the money, so only the game is important. Terrible acts are accomplished by the movement of fountain pens across paper and it all just looks like ciphers. The human element has been removed from their sight just as it was previously removed from their hearts. A terrible fury of judgment is coming for these clowns and nothing you say and nothing they see can wake them up from their dreams of power and self importance. I just can’t get over how much it looks like a movie. I can’t get over how much of a cosmic moral play it is.'

The Mushroom Effect

One could be forgiven for thinking that the neoconservatives who nudge us towards war with Iran are under the effect of the magic mushroom. Obsessed with Iran, their trips take on the shape of a 'mushroom cloud'. Christopher Hitchens is one such example. Writing for The Australian, one of Rupert Murdoch's papers, Hitchens' Mullahs indubitably fancy a mushroom betrays a sly mind that lacks lucidity.'

Rothschild Zionist Bolton: Israel Has a Right to Pre-emptively Strike Iran

In his interview with Russia Today John Bolton continues his overwhelming support for the state of Israel. He says that the Iranians are working toward developing nuclear weapons and that Israel has a right to pre-emptively strike the Iranian republic. Bolton has been a firm supporter of AIPAC and of Jewish interests for his entire political career, he does many interviews justifying Jewish dominance of the middle-east.

It should be noted that Iran, unlike Israel is a signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Iran has been very open about their nuclear intentions and has allowed inspectors to review its facilities. Israel on the other hand has violated numerous U.N. sanctions regarding its nuclear weapons program.

Don't Worry, Obama, The Neocons Have Your Back!

It is simply ludicrous that any think-tank founded by Robert Kagan, William Kristol, and Dan Senor should be self-described as a "non-partisan organization". Who do they think they'll fool? The Foreign Policy Initiative is a reconstituted Project For A New American Century, as is plain from the list of signatories appended to a letter telling President Obama that they support his escalation of the Afghan occupation.

Obama as the New Face of the Rebranded Neocons

Recently, this blogger received an email from a regular visitor who suggested that the title of this blog be changed from, "The Great NeoCon Swindle" to something more appropriate as there is a new administration in power that cannot be said to be NeoCon at all. The reader went on to state that the NeoCons themselves have officially disowned the term as well as abandoned their big-boy club, "The Project For A New American Century" (PNAC).

In actual fact, the NeoCons survive and Figurehead-In-Chief, Barack Obama, is firmly in their graces. It's all the rage for entities in trouble with public rage to simply re-brand themselves in hopes of building a new public perception - and for some, new no-bid government contracts in areas where public outrage otherwise forced them out(i.e. AIG is now AIU and Blackwater is now Xe). So it is with the NeoCons.

Enter the "new", Foreign Policy Initiative.

Neocon Zalmay Khalilzad to be Afghan 'Chief Executive'?

Khalilzad on bottom row, 2nd from left

A former US official has reportedly been groomed to assume the second most powerful post in Afghanistan -- a move that will tighten Washington's grip on Kabul.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that Afghan President Hamid Karzai has agreed to give the former US ambassador to the UN, Zalmay Khalilzad, the position of chief executive officer of Afghanistan.

According to senior US and Afghan officials who were speaking on condition of anonymity, the position would allow Khalilzad to serve as some form of "a prime minister, except not prime minister because he wouldn't be responsible to a parliamentary system."

The appointment, which comes amid frosty relations between Karzai and the White House, has raised worldwide concern.

"The idea of having an American as a major senior official of Afghanistan is a very risky one both for the Afghan government and the person in question," noted Teresita C. Schaffer, a former State Department official who is currently a senior South Asia expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

"Whoever is going to run Afghanistan will have to have both feet on the ground there, and I know Zal has intimate knowledge of the country and was involved to a degree that was virtually unheard of for an ambassador," she added.

Khalilzad, an Afghan-born US citizen who played an influential role under the Bush administration, had first decided to run against Karzai in the upcoming presidential elections in Afghanistan, but he eventually dropped his bid and opted for a high-ranking position in the Kabul government instead.

Over the past years, Khalilzad has been no stranger to controversy. He rankled State Department officials when he arranged to meet Asif Ali Zardari for talks on Pakistan's presidential elections, just when Washington was trying to prove that it did not meddle in Pakistan.

He drew an angry response for attending a forum with Iran's foreign minister without getting permission from the White House first.

Although the US officialdom insists that it had nothing to do with Khalilzadeh's prime ministerial bid, it is no secret that enlisting Khalilzad in the Afghan government would give Washington considerable leverage to advance its political agenda in Afghanistan and the region.

I predicted 12 months ago that Khalilzad would be lined up to take over from Karzai, well it looks as if he and the rest of the neocons are going to get the next best thing!!

Neoconned Again

On March 31, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, Washington Post columnist Robert Kagan, and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations Dan Senor launched the Foreign Policy Initiative, the latest neoconservative think tank. Its first conference, dedicated to “Planning for Success” in Afghanistan, had the spirit of a family reunion. Sounds of backslapping and gossip filled the hall at the Mayflower Hotel. The only interruption was a slight hush as Scooter Libby passed through. The man indicted for perjury while protecting Dick Cheney deserved a special kind of respect.

From P.N.A.C. to F.P.I.: The Reinventing of Neoconservatism for the Era of Obama

The cry seems to be: ‘The neocons are dead; long live the neocons!’, as they reinvent and adjust themselves for a presidency that doesn’t quite reflect the exact same image that the Bush presidency did.

The old grandly named and now all but defunct Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was founded by the staunchly pro-Zionist neoconservatives in early 1997 for the purpose of deposing the Democrat administration of the time (Clinton) and influencing a prospective Republican administration into strongly supporting the cause of right-wing Israeli Zionism by projecting US influence directly into the Middle East on behalf of Israel and ridding Israel of its enemies, Iraq and Iran.

Kristol: It's Not About Iran's Nuclear Weapons, It's About Regime Change

Regime change? What regime change? Wasn’t it all about Iran’s so-called nuclear weapons program?

Of course it’s about regime change. It has, for the Israelis and their neocon supporters, never ever been about anything else. Regime change in Iran means the Israelis get to have their Greater Israel sooner. Iranian support for Hezbollah and Hamas disappears and resistance by the Palestinians and the Lebanese to Israeli aggression all but disappears as well.

Israeli Warplanes Await S-300 Sale to Iran

As Iran's quest to obtain the sophisticated Russian-made anti-aircraft missile system S-300 continues to spark controversy, a new "Presidential Task Force" report on Iran by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy warns about the consequences of Iran acquiring the weapon. The report says the potential transfer of the S-300 systems to Iran "gives rise to the grave risk that Israel could feel compelled to act before the cost of doing so is too high." The bi-partisan authors of the document, titled, "Preventing a Cascade of Instability," propose that the US "should promptly provide Israel with the capabilities -- modern aircraft -- to continue to threaten high-value Iranian targets" once Russia starts the S-300 delivery.

Richard Perle's Outrageous Lies

I’ve just finished listening to an enlightening 2-hour radio interview with hosts Mark Glenn and James Morris and guest Kevin MacDonald, and including an interesting call-in appearance from Stephen Sniegoski. The general topic was Jewish power, but one point in particular stood out: Recently, a premier architect and promoter of the neocon war against Iraq, “Prince of Darkness” Richard Perle, has been escalating his campaign to deny the neocon role in American politics. Let me explain.

Obamas Neocon Handlers Want To Send NATO Troops To 'Peacekeep' The Palestinians

A key element in any new initiative would be for the U.S. president to declare publicly what, in the view of this country, the basic parameters of a fair and enduring peace ought to be. These should contain four principal elements: 1967 borders, with minor, reciprocal and agreed-upon modifications; compensation in lieu of the right of return for Palestinian refugees; Jerusalem as real home to two capitals; and a nonmilitarized Palestinian state.

Something more might be needed to deal with Israeli security concerns about turning over territory to a Palestinian government incapable of securing Israel against terrorist activity. That could be dealt with by deploying an international peacekeeping force, such as one from NATO, which could not only replace Israeli security but train Palestinian troops to become effective.

Neocons Heart Obama

Max Boot just adores Barack Obama’s proposed national security team, especially the retention of Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense and General Jim Jones over at the NSC. “I have to admit that I am gobsmacked by these appointments, most of which could just as easily have come from a President McCain,” Boot fawns.

Max Boot makes well the argument that there is no difference between McCain and Obama, never mind millions of changelings who believe Obama stands for love, peace, and a new road not traveled by the Bushcons. Some of them actually believe Obama will bring the troops home, the poor deluded souls.

This is Change. 20 Hawks, Clintonites and Neocons to Watch for in Obama's White House

U.S. policy is not about one individual, and no matter how much faith people place in President-elect Barack Obama, the policies he enacts will be fruit of a tree with many roots. Among them: his personal politics and views, the disastrous realities his administration will inherit, and, of course, unpredictable future crises. But the best immediate indicator of what an Obama administration might look like can be found in the people he surrounds himself with and who he appoints to his Cabinet. And, frankly, when it comes to foreign policy, it is not looking good.

America Under Siege

The American public, composed of both citizens and consumers, is under attack on all fronts. This is being done by government directly, indirectly, and across the board in every aspect of our lives. What continues to go unnoticed is that the people of this country have the constitutional and right to be represented within this "government" that has become the blood-enemy of everyone that lives here. What the cabal has failed to credit is that
"Taxation without Representation is Tyranny"!

The methods being used by the owners, against the people, include secrecy, intimidation, blatant lies and their misrepresentations about everything that comes from the government concerning everything they say they are doing to correct any of the myriad failures that have brought this formerly successful nation to its metaphorical knees!

US Zionist Weapons In Outer Space

THE JEWISH NEOCON-LED BUSH ADMINISTRATION released its “National Security Strategy of the United States of America” on September 20 2002. This strategy was enacted in the midst of protests over the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive war. This new security strategy abandons all past concepts of deterrence.
The document advances a justification for a colossal escalation of American militarism. It asserts the ‘right’ of the US to use military force anywhere in the world against any country it believes to be a threat — (Read: Israel’s enemies).

UN criticism irks US envoy

The US's UN Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad has scolded the new president of the UN General Assembly over his recent anti-US comments. Khalilzad told Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann of Nicaragua, the new chair of the 192-member assembly that his role was "to facilitate the discussions, follow the rules, to do things that make this organization work and bring people together." Tuesday, d'Escoto opened the General Assembly's 63rd session with a veiled but stinging attack on the United States. "It makes no sense to wage wars of aggression that kills hundreds of thousands of people with the purported aim of supporting democracy, while at the same time using every imaginable means and pretexts to prevent a process to democratize the United Nations itself," he told delegates. "We will continue to stress that the decentralization which the United Nations so urgently needs will entail decentralizing the power accumulated in a small group of states," d'Escoto added.

I’m no neocon, says David Cameron as he sets out his world vision

David Cameron denounced European leaders for “scurrying to Moscow to compete for favours” as he outlined his vision of a liberal conservative foreign policy that would help to spread democracy around the world.
The Conservative leader said that Britain still had a valuable international role to play despite Western democracies being undermined by their conduct in the war against terrorism.
Speaking in Islamabad at the end of four-day tour of Afghanistan and Pakistan, he insisted that he was no neoconservative, saying that democracy could be spread only by patient craftsmanship rather than down the barrel of a gun.

McCain: ‘We Are All Georgians’

If there is any doubt that John McCain is gulping down the neocon Kool-Aid on Georgia, one need only read his new manifesto in The Wall Street Journal, where he once again flaunts his Wikipedia-sourced foreign policy expertise.
In addition to misrepresenting the crisis in favor of his good friend and neocon man-crush Georgian President Saakashvili, McCain once again speaks as if he isn’t the leading cheerleader for America’s own war of agression: “The world has learned at great cost the price of allowing aggression against free nations to go unchecked.”

“The Neocons Are Dying to Nuke Iran”

An interview with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
By Kathy Sanborn

Sanborn: When I read your article, “Marching Off Into Tyranny,” I was impressed by how you were able to concisely sum up one of the most important issues that we face as Americans, namely, the erosion of our civil liberties, mostly due to fabricated terrorism such as the anthrax scare and the attacks on 9/11. You talk about the Florida university professor, Al-Arian, who continues to be victimized by the Feds although a jury has cleared him of any terrorism charges. [As of August 8, 2008, the Associated Press states, “U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema postponed the trial indefinitely, questioning whether the government was overeager in filing charges.” –KS]What was your wake-up call, Dr. Roberts, to the fact that the current administration was determined to take away the civil liberties of Americans?Roberts: When they responded to 9/11 with the Patriot Act. That document was thick, and it would have taken months and months to prepare it, yet it came out shortly after the 9/11 attacks.Why does combating terrorism require an assault on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? It was clear to me that there was an undeclared agenda there.On the day of 9/11, I knew right away that something was wrong. I had been an engineering student at Georgia Tech, and things just didn’t add up. As I watched the towers fall, I could see that the buildings were blowing up from the top, at least initially. The airplanes caused asymmetrical damage, and I don’t think the planes were large enough to cause the buildings to topple. When you chop a tree down, it doesn’t blow up, it falls.The buildings were blowing up, not falling down.Then when I saw pictures of the alleged terrorists, most of them looked just like kids. They were small, and airplane passengers wouldn’t have hesitated to try to take them down. The average American male should have been able to take care of the hijackers. And how they could have fooled all of the intelligence agencies, outwit NORAD, and so on; it just didn’t make any sense. They were really after our civil liberties. That was their undeclared agenda. The effect is that no one has any protection under the law.
