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?

  2. Sorry, I was read­ing, but when­ever I read the words “military-industrial complex” I fall about laugh­ing. WTF is that anyway. Didn’t it go out of fash­ion with, like, the Boer war… How can it be shad­owy and have a hallmark?

    Oh, ignore me. I’m just in a silly mood, I guess.

  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…
