Exposing PNAC

PNAC.info is gathering steam. The site aims to investigate, analyze, and expose the The Project for the New American Century and their plan, currently well underway, for a ‘unipolar’ world.

I still can’t get my head around PNAC, because the organisation is a strange sort of open conspiracy: it bears all the hallmarks of the shadowy military-industrial complex cabals that litter conspiracy theory, with suitably sinsiter aims, but it carries out its business in the open. (Of course, the paranoid amongst us will take this as evidence that, if this scary shit is out in the open, the shit behind closed doors must be really scary.)

Discussed previously:

  1. John Pilger on Rumsfeld, Cheney, PNAC and P20G
  2. More on PNAC
  3. Me, Paranoid?

  3. Pete - er, yep, you seem to have summarised the post there - the ‘shadowy military-industrial-complex cabal’ bit was meant to poke fun at the hyperbole of conspiracy theory (the sort of things I used to say in all seriousness when I was fifteen!) and the whole point is that PNAC sounds like something from the ravings of a paranoid backwoods militiaman, but is actually running US foreign policy…

  4. Expose the PNACers

    Jack Mottram of Submit Response - a sharply written scottish blog - points to PNAC.info, a site exposing the details of the previously mentioned shadowy Project for a New American Century. I still can’t get my head around PNAC, because…
