"For indeed none can love freedom heartily, but good men: the rest love not freedom, but license: which never hath more scope, or more indulgence than under tyrants." - John Milton.It seems every generation must do battle with tyrants. The tyrants of America and the West are an elitist intellectual, political, security and financial class rather than military strong men as it is the case in many corrupt third world nations.
The neoconservatives served this elite by calling for a long war in the Middle East and the overthrow of independent regimes in numerous reports issued by private think tanks in the 1990s. Their poisonous ideas were then covertly implemented when they were brought inside the Bush administration by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.
A key government vehicle that enabled the crazy neocons to bypass the CIA and other bodies in the American government was the Office of Special Plans, which was established inside the Pentagon in September 2002 by Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, and terminated in June 2003. The mission of the OSP was to produce fake intelligence and come up with political talking points to sell the case for war against Saddam Hussein to the American people and the global public.
Former CIA officer Larry C. Johnson told Scotland's The Sunday Herald in June 2003 that the OSP was "dangerous for US national security and a threat to world peace," that "lied and manipulated intelligence to further its agenda of removing Saddam." Johnson characterised the OSP as "a group of ideologues with pre-determined notions of truth and reality. They take bits of intelligence to support their agenda and ignore anything contrary. They should be eliminated," (These quotes are taken from Neil Mackay's article 'Revealed: The Secret Cabal Which Spun for Blair,' that was published in The Sunday Herald on June 8, 2003.)
The rats behind the OSP were not interested in the truth, but in "victory," which is the purpose of covert intelligence operations according to Abram Shulsky who served as the Director of the OSP. Shulsky and other neocons are the disciples of the political professor Leo Strauss who believed that the people are sheep and should be led by a wise political few with all manner of tricks, lies, and deceptions.
Donald Archer says in his article, Leo Strauss and the "Crazies in the Basement," that Strauss inspired a "cult-following of obsessive acolytes, including former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, “Prince of Darkness” Richard Perle, and Republican pundit William Kristol."
Forget Bin Laden, Iran, and Islamic Jihad. The neocons are the real enemies of America and its constitutional structures. Archer says that according to neoconservative philosophy, "an ignorant, obedient citizenry beholden to an absolute, opaque government is the ideal."
Shadia Drury, a professor at the University of Regina, has zeroed in on neoconservative thought. Her books include 'The Political Ideas of Leo Strauss,' and 'Leo Strauss and the American Right.' In an interview with Danny Postel in 2003, Drury said:
The effect of Strauss’s teaching is to convince his acolytes that they are the natural ruling elite and the persecuted few. And it does not take much intelligence for them to surmise that they are in a situation of great danger, especially in a world devoted to the modern ideas of equal rights and freedoms. Now more than ever, the wise few must proceed cautiously and with circumspection. So, they come to the conclusion that they have a moral justification to lie in order to avoid persecution. Strauss goes so far as to say that dissembling and deception – in effect, a culture of lies – is the peculiar justice of the wise.
The neocons felt proud of staging the September 11 attacks because the attacks invigorated the American warrior spirit and turned America into a more focused and militant nation.
The neocons love war, but they don't want to suit up and die in them. That's for the pawns. They, the wise elite, move the pawns around and tell them what to do.
Sick and twisted you say? The neocons will counter with: "You don't have the mind to understand the beauty of our conquest. You're not on our level."
I say: Let's put these criminals on trial and hang them. Let these bastards taste their own medicine.
A couple of weeks I ago wrote an article called "Most Wanted State Terrorists List," that included Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleezza Rice, Robert Gates, Philip Zelikow, Colin Powell, John Ashcroft, Andrew Card, Richard Armitage, George Tenet, Elliott Abrams, and Karl Rove. You can add to that list Abram Shulsky and Douglas Feith.
Watch the sociopathic and sick Shulsky praise his cult leader Leo Strauss in this video posted by the University of Chicago called "Leo Strauss as Teacher - Reflections By Former Students." He begins talking at the 2 minute and a half mark. Don't listen to his words. Watch it to get a look at what a war criminal and a real terrorist looks like.
