Rodman, Donald Rumsfeld, William Schneider, Jr. Vin Weber, Paul Wolfowitz, R. James Woolsey, and Robert B. Zoellick."The Project for a New American Century" (PNAC) is the elusive "cabal" that is hardly mentioned in the news, and never called by name. PNAC was co-founded by William Kristol and Dick Cheney & other familiar people. This cabal is the group that is presently in power. Needless to say, our American press has not been reporting all the facts regarding the current Bush Administration , so PNAC is rarely mentioned by them, if ever. If you google PNAC you will find it all over the internet , and many websites attempt to expose and "out" the PNAC. The UK press reports on PNAC all the time now, starting with an article by Neil Mackay in 2002 in the Scottish Sunday Herald.
PNAC is a small group who claim to act on behalf of you and not the elites. They hold many of the key positions of power in the federal government. But really, these are the people who brought us: * the war in Iraq* plans for simultaneous, multiple wars* legal 'justification' for torture* the 'Patriot' Act, expanded presidential powers and reduced citizens' rights* warmongering and war profiteering and on and on. In the past 5 years , only two well-known Americans have been videotaped publicly exposing the PNAC just this year: Helen Thomas "the first lady of the press" and Stephen Colbert, the comedic anchor of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central!
Here is PNAC's actual website , founding members & Statement of Principles. They wrote a letter trying to urge Clinton in 1998 to attack Iraq. Practically everyone in this organization is also in the Bush Administration, however W himself is not a member of the PNAC. Many bloggers surmise this is because he is the cabal's puppet to be kept "untouchable" in case of a need for pardons for the rest of the group. Even Jeb Bush is a member , but not W! The Iraq and potential Iran wars were already planned on their PNAC website in this document "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces, & Resources for a New Century" (remember , this is a non-profit organization , NOT a government entity, yet they came into power two months after this was written in September 2000.
There are hundreds of websites and blogs about the PNAC. Here are a few well-known favorites:
- Project for the Old American Century.
- PNAC.info, an investigative site.
- Officials Say PNAC site.
- Wikipedia PNAC article.
- Information Clearing House site.
- TV News Lies PNAC site.
- "What Barry Says" video.

oh PNAC, how are those folks doing these days? It's funny, ever since Iraq went to hell, most of those theorists have disappeared. They fell in love with a theory -- that a military can implant a geographic region with democracy -- and because they failed miserably, they have gone into hiding. Or in Wolfowitz's case, the World Bank...
What a bunch of cruel, heartless bastards. I highly recommend watching the Colbert Report clip during which Stephen Colbert interviews Williams Kristol. It's a rare thing for Stephen Colbert to break character, but in this case, he pins Kristol into a tight corner. Kristol becomes incredibly flustered, and it's a beautiful thing to watch someone who was so confident pre-Iraq have no rebuttal. I'm sure you can find it on the comedy central website.
Jo, thanks for sharing this vital information about PNAC. It really boils my blood to think about these neo-cons and to realize that Iraq was in the works all along, long before 9/11. If only we could get this information out to the general public.
