THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY

THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY

"A stunning film. It should be seen as widely as possible, in cinemas, bars, clubs, at meetings and, of course, through the internet. I'm sure the film will continue to be a source of debate and political education for many years. Maybe until the war criminals have been brought to trial." - Ken Loach

"In the White House, they weren't thinking of 9/11 as an attack, but as a gift!" - Robert Steele, former CIA agent

While Massimo Mazzucco’s first political documentary, GLOBAL DECEIT (2006), focused on the long list of inconsistencies in the official version of the 9/11 attacks, THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY explores the historical, philosophical and economic background that suggests a matrix for such events that is much closer to home than the so-called "Islamic terrorism".

The film provides solid evidence for the true reasons behind the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, whose unfolding is described in chilling detail in a document called "Project for the New American Century", published in the year 2,000, that seems to have served as the actual blueprint for such dramatic events.


This film is astonishing, it goes in detail through the untold history of The Project for the New American Century with tons of archival footage and connects it right into the present. This film exposes how every major war in US history was based on a complete fraud with video of insiders themselves admitting it. This film shows how the first film theaters in the US were used over a hundred years ago to broadcast propaganda to rile the American people into the Spanish-American War. This film shows the white papers of the oil company Unocal which called for the creation of a pipeline through Afghanistan and how their exact needs were fulfilled through the US invasion of Afghanistan. This film shows how Halliburton under their "cost plus" exclusive contract with the US Government went on a mad dash spending spree akin to something out of the movie Brewster's Millions, yet instead of blowing $30 million they blew through BILLIONS by literally burning millions of dollars worth of hundred thousand dollar cars and trucks if they had so much as a flat tire. I have seen a ton of films, this film contains a massive amount of incredible footage I have never seen before anywhere, it is an historical documentary which exposes all the lies of the past so that you can understand the present. This film is a must see. - Information Liberation

Over one million Iraqis have met violent deaths as a result of the 2003 invasion, according to a study conducted by the prestigious British polling group, Opinion Research Business (ORB). These numbers suggest that the invasion and occupation of Iraq rivals the mass killings of the last century—the human toll exceeds the 800,000 to 900,000 believed killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994, and is approaching the number (1.7 million) who died in Cambodia’s infamous “Killing Fields” during the Khmer Rouge era of the 1970s.

ORB’s research covered fifteen of Iraq’s eighteen provinces. Those not covered include two of Iraq’s more volatile regions—Kerbala and Anbar—and the northern province of Arbil, where local authorities refused them a permit to work. In face-to-face interviews with 2,414 adults, the poll found that more than one in five respondents had had at least one death in their household as a result of the conflict, as opposed to natural cause.

Authors Joshua Holland and Michael Schwartz point out that the dominant narrative on Iraq—that most of the violence against Iraqis is being perpetrated by Iraqis themselves and is not our responsibility—is ill conceived. Interviewers from the Lancet report of October 2006 (Censored 2006, #2) asked Iraqi respondents how their loved ones died. Of deaths for which families were certain of the perpetrator, 56 percent were attributable to US forces or their allies. Schwartz suggests that if a low pro rata share of half the unattributed deaths were caused by US forces, a total of approximately 80 percent of Iraqi deaths are directly US perpetrated.

Even with the lower confirmed figures, by the end of 2006, an average of 5,000 Iraqis had been killed every month by US forces since the beginning of the occupation. However, the rate of fatalities in 2006 was twice as high as the overall average, meaning that the American average in 2006 was well over 10,000 per month, or over 300 Iraqis every day. With the surge that began in 2007, the current figure is likely even higher.

Schwartz points out that the logic to this carnage lies in a statistic released by the US military and reported by the Brookings Institute: for the first four years of the occupation the American military sent over 1,000 patrols each day into hostile neighborhoods, looking to capture or kill “insurgents” and “terrorists.” (Since February 2007, the number has increased to nearly 5,000 patrols a day, if we include the Iraqi troops participating in the American surge.) Each patrol invades an average of thirty Iraqi homes a day, with the mission to interrogate, arrest, or kill suspects. In this context, any fighting age man is not just a suspect, but a potentially lethal adversary. Our soldiers are told not to take any chances (see Story #9).

According to US military statistics, again reported by the Brookings Institute, these patrols currently result in just under 3,000 firefights every month, or just under an average of one hundred per day (not counting the additional twenty-five or so involving our Iraqi allies). Thousands of patrols result in thousands of innocent Iraqi deaths and unconscionably brutal detentions.

Iraqis’ attempts to escape the violence have resulted in a refugee crisis of mammoth proportion. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency and the International Organization for Migration, in 2007 almost 5 million Iraqis had been displaced by violence in their country, the vast majority of which had fled since 2003. Over 2.4 million vacated their homes for safer areas within Iraq, up to 1.5 million were living in Syria, and over 1 million refugees were inhabiting Jordan, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey, and Gulf States. Iraq’s refugees, increasing by an average of almost 100,000 every month, have no legal work options in most host states and provinces and are increasingly desperate.1

Yet more Iraqis continue to flee their homes than the numbers returning, despite official claims to the contrary. Thousands fleeing say security is as bad as ever, and that to return would be to accept death. Most of those who return are subsequently displaced again.

Maki al-Nazzal and Dahr Jamail quote an Iraqi engineer now working at a restaurant in Damascus, “Return to Iraq? There is no Iraq to return to, my friend. Iraq only exists in our dreams and memories.”

Another interviewee told the authors, “The US military say Fallujah is safe now while over 800 men are detained there under the worst conditions. . . . At least 750 out of the 800 detainees are not resistance fighters, but people who refused to collaborate with occupation forces and their tails.” (Iraqis who collaborate with occupation forces are commonly referred to as “tails of the Americans.”)

Another refugee from Baghdad said, “I took my family back home in January. The first night we arrived, Americans raided our house and kept us all in one room while their snipers used our rooftop to shoot at people. I decided to come back here [Damascus] the next morning after a horrifying night that we will never forget.”

UPDATE BY MICHAEL SCHWARTZ

The mortality statistics cited in “Is the United States Killing 10,000 Iraqis Every Month?” were based on another article suitable for Project Censored recognition, a scientific investigation of deaths caused by the war in Iraq. The original article, published in Lancet in 2006, received some dismissive coverage when it was released, and then disappeared from view as the mainstream media returned to reporting biased estimates that placed Iraqi casualties at about one-tenth the Lancet estimates. The corporate media blackout of the original study extended to my article as well, and has continued unabated, though the Lancet article has withstood several waves of criticism, while being confirmed and updated by other studies (Censored 2006, #2).

By early 2008, the best estimate, based on extrapolations and replications of the Lancet study, was that 1.2 million Iraqis had died as a consequence of the war. This figure has not, to my knowledge, been reported in any mass media outlet in the United States.

The blackout of the casualty figures was matched by a similar blackout of other main evidence in my article: that the Bush administration military strategy in Iraq assures vast property destruction and lethality on a daily basis. Rules of engagement that require the approximately one thousand US patrols each day to respond to any hostile act with overwhelming firepower—small arms, artillery, and air power—guarantee that large numbers of civilians will suffer and die. But the mainstream media refuses to cover this mayhem, even after the Winter Soldier meetings in March 2008 featured over one hundred Iraq veterans who testified to their own participation in what they call “atrocity producing situations.” (see Story #9)

The effectiveness of the media blackout is vividly illustrated by an Associated Press poll conducted in February 2007, which asked a representative sample of US residents how many Iraqis had died as a result of the war. The average respondent thought the number was under 10,000, about 2 percent of the actual total at that time. This remarkable mass ignorance, like so many other elements of the Iraq War story, received no coverage in the mass media, not even by the Associated Press, which commissioned the study.

The Iraq Veterans Against the War has made the brutality of the occupation their special activist province. The slaughter of the Iraqi people is the foundation of their demand for immediate and full withdrawal of US troops, and the subject of their historic Winter Soldier meetings in Baltimore. Though there was no mainstream US media coverage of this event, the live streaming on Pacifica Radio and on the IVAW website reached a huge audience—including a vast number of active duty soldiers—with vivid descriptions of atrocities committed by the US war machine. A growing number of independent news sites now feature regular coverage of this aspect of the war, including Democracy Now!, Tom Dispatch, Dahr Jamail’s MidEast Dispatches, Informed Comment, Antiwar.com, and ZNet.

UPDATE BY MAKI AL-NAZZAL AND DAHR JAMAIL

The promotion of US general David Petraeus to head CENTCOM, and General Raymond Odierno to replace Petraeus as commanding general of the Multi-National Force in Iraq, provoked a lot of anger amongst Iraqis in both Syria and Jordan. The two generals who convinced US and international society of improvement in Iraq do not seem to have succeeded in convincing Iraqi refugees of their success.

“Just like the Bush Administration decorated Paul Bremer (former head of the Coalition Provisional Authority), they are rewarding others who participated in the destruction to Iraq,” stated Muhammad Shamil, an Iraqi journalist who fled Iraq to Syria in 2006. “What they call violence was concentrated in some parts of Iraq, but now spread to be all over the country, thanks to US war heroes. People are getting killed, evicted or detained by the thousands, from Basra (South) to Mosul (North).”

Other Iraqi refugees seem to have changed attitudes regarding their hopes to return. Compared to when this story was published in March 2008, the refugee crisis continues to deepen. This is exacerbated by the fact that most Iraqis have no intention of returning home. Instead, they are looking for permanent residence in other countries.

“I decided to stop dreaming of going back home and find myself a new home anywhere in the world if I could,” said thirty-two-year-old Maha Numan in Syria, “I have been a refugee for three years now living on the dream of return, but I decided to stop dreaming. I have lost faith in all leaders of the world after the surges of Basra, Sadr City and now Mosul. This seems to be endless and one has to work harder on finding a safe haven for one’s family.”

Iraqis in Syria know a lot more of the news about their country than most journalists. At an Internet café in Damascus, each of them calls his hometown and reports the happenings of the day to other Iraqi refugees. News of ongoing violence across much of Iraq convinces them to remain abroad.

“There were four various explosions in Fallujah today,” said Salam Adel, who worked as a translator for US forces in Fallujah in 2005. “And they say it is safe to go back! Damn them, go back for what? For roadside bombs or car bombs?”

It has been important, politically, for the Bush administration to claim that the situation in Iraq is improving. This claim has been assisted by a complicit corporate media. However, the 1.5 million Iraqis in Syria, and over 750,000 in Jordan, will tell you differently. Otherwise, they would not remain outside of Iraq.

Bush administration's North American Union SPP plan reveals a totalitarian agenda

by Paul Chen

At a recent News Conference in Canada which was convened by the Coalition to Block the North American Union, Tom DeWeese who is President of the American Policy Center, eloquently presented, the essential fascism of the so-called Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

The U.S. Bush Administration and its allies, are seeking to create a fascist state, in a very clever way, through "Public-Private Partnerships" or PPPs that Mr. DeWeese identified.

The SPP, is basically an ominous "merger" of the largest corporations in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with the governments of these societies, further backed with U.S. military and comprehensive police enforcement. The so-called Montebello summit of North American leaders, was a mere dress rehearsal of a clique of well-documented Neo-Nazi interests that seek to create a fascist state. In the Neo Nazi sponsored NAU, the people will have what American colonists referred to as "taxation without representation",with added oppression.

You can look up the political backgrounds of both Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President George Bush, and you will discover well-reported associations with far right organizations and interests.

Let me present to you what kind of society that SPP architects are apparently seeking to consolidate and to further advance. Imagine, for a moment, a society in which the phone company you use to make your calls, the McDonald's down the street, the Walmart a half-kilometre away, your favourite newspaper, the Television news that you watch, the police and military, the politicians, and the supermarket up the street, and government agencies are all the same entity. Yep, that's what the SPP is all about.
NAU is a Police State

SPP architects seek to use the War on Terrorism to create the "NAU" as a Police State.


The SPP is a negotiation convocation between the most rich and powerful corporations and government, to combine themselves into the most people-oppressive entity that the world has ever seen. The Bush administration, seeks to use the pretext of the “War on Terrorism” to merge corporate and government power, in a climate of fear, which, in turn, is being executed by a clique of greed-driven elites.

SPP elites participants hope to "end politics" in a “North American Union” (NAU). The NAU will be managed by a One Party State, parallel to the Communist Party, which runs the People's Republic of China, and reminiscent of the National Socialist Party of Nazi Germany. Corporate elites will not need to waste money trying to lobby politicians on legislation, because corporations and government will be speak, and act as one force.



The planned 'social structure' of the NAU would ressemble Orwellian social structures described in the book entitled Nineteen Eighty Four. The One Party State would replace democracy in the NAU.

In the envisioned NAU, people will work when they are told to work, and be paid what they are given, and speak when they are spoken to. Dissidents, will not be tolerated by the aspiring "One World Government". There will be no place to "run and hide", because all telephones and other communications will be controlled by a unified political-military-industrial complex. Everyone will be tracked by "Big Brother". There will be no such thing as "public healthcare", which will be represented as diverting precious resources away from "victory".

Even food will not be out of the reach of management by Big Brother, through the genetic engineering programmes, and other "social experiments" with the collusion of military and industrial interestsm against humanity.

In the NAU, soaring poverty, as a result of the mass cancellation of social programs and resulting initial soaring crime will be dealt with by the mass rounding up of "trouble makers" in horrific labour camps.

Religious leaders, and others citizens would be forced into becoming informers for "Big Brother", to weed out activists, and other potential "trouble makers" against the "infinite wisdom" of Big Brother.

The public is not invited into the initial steps to form the NAU, because it is the public which will be victimized and subjugated by the SPP's clandestine agenda.

The SPP is the creation of a demonic consciousness which now relies on the Hiterlian technique of the "Big Lie" to cover-up its ultimate goals.

The mass-media have already been largely already assimilated by Big Brother. SPP architects, hope to conquer the internet to help complete their efforts toward creating a fear-inspired totalitarian society.
Orwellian Big Brother entity

SPP architects and seeking to negotiate the total fusion of government, military interests, police law enforcement, and, and large private corporations in the "NAU" which would manifest in the creation of an Orwellian Big Brother entity.


The PPPs which Mr. Tom DeWeese described in the Coalition to Block North American Union news conference on 20 August 2007, in Ottawa, Canada, is the organizational context for the creation of a North American Union (NAU). The planned NAU is to be ruled by an all-powerful "Big Brother", where democracy will cease to operate.

However, the SPP does not appear to stop there.

Imagine a North American Union SPP deliberations, where North America specifically, and the world in general, are being neatly divided up into parcels for various corporate monopolies.

Mr. DeWeese and his colleagues in the Coalition to Block the North American Union, have already well documented various corporations being corruptly awarded millions and billions in dollars of contract.

This kind of fascistic corporate and government collusion, is already in full swing in places like Iraq, with preference being given to corporations with connections to the U.S. Bush administration.

While the Bush administration in public, extols the virtues of liberty, freedom, and "free enterprise", Mr. DeWeese, and other researchers reveal that it is apparent that the SPP agenda is an attempt to re-create Adolf Hitler's "corporatist" Nazi Economic Programme. In the North American Union that SPP architects envision, liberty, freedom, and "free enterprise" will be replaced by "enterprise" which is totally controlled under the social regimentation of fascist-inspired cliques.

Now, further imagine a SPP meeting context where elites behind closed doors are not simply preparing for worst case scenarios, as the public is being lead to believe, but instead are actively planning to instigate and co-ordinate pre-emptive nuclear war to "take over the world".

According to the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) which inspires Mr. Bush, the Bush doctrine, that was practiced in Iraq, like Adolf Hitler's own doctrine of war, pivots on the importance of "pre-emptive" strikes. The Bush doctrine views the idea that "war should be pursued as a last resort" as being a policy for "week minded people".

It would therefore be erroneous to believe that the SPP is anything but a creature of the Bush doctrine. The PNAC intellectuals that inspire the Bush administration, also believe that America must be prepared to use its nuclear arsenal, to enforce "American interests" as defined by a clique of elites.

PNAC intellectuals have been quoted as saying in effect that it is no point that America produces and makea nuclear weapons, if it is not prepared to use them. According to them, "who cares" if billions of people are killed, and the environment destroyed from nuclear fall-out, if that is the "price to pay" for victory.

The mass-media has indeed not reported on the substance of the SPP, because the mass-media organizations are being currently "merged" in the new Big Brother entity, that elites seek to institutionalize through the creation of the NAU, toward a "New World Order".
Detention Centre: Guantanamo Bay


Investigative Journalists who notably include Alex Jones report that Guantanamo Bay like detention centres, are being planned and constructed toward the development of a fascistic North American Union.

If the Canadian, American, and Mexican peoples allow the formal creation of the NAU, the largest corporations, government, the military, and a fascist clique will all speak and act as one voice.

The SPP is a "Council of War", that is designed to "creatively" bring about a "New World Order" under its complete control. In this New World Order, the masses will become virtually slaves to elites, with dissenters being thrown into "detention centres" for "re-education".

Once the corporate-government merger talks are completed, as to which elites will get what in the planned "New World Order", one can expect the NAU to be launched under an instigated terrorist pre-text, where the NAU will presented as an "Emergency Response Council".

This Emergency Response Council would then present itself as having the mandate to restore "Order", and instigate a required military draft to "once and for all" vanquish the Muslims. Dissenters would be viewed to be a threat to that order, and Muslims in North America who "must have caused the massive terrorist attack" (and other "freedom-hating" activists as Mr. Bush and his allies might say), would be placed in "detention" centres like Guantanamo Bay and other such places, reminiscent of the "detention" centres of Nazi Germany.

It is apparent that Nazi sympathizers associated with the SPP agenda are following a script, which Nazis are reputed to follow.

Indeed, Richard M. Dolan and others have compared 9/11 World Trade Center "terrorist attack" with the Reichstag Fire, which was started by Nazis, who at that time, blamed "Jewish Communists" in their scapegoating efforts.

The SPP is creating its own incentive to instigate an act of terrorism that it can in turn use to legitimate the pre-emptive Bush doctrine agenda of inspired pre-emptive "War for Commercial Profit".
