PNAC for Kids

It was suggested that PNAC 101 - Rise Of The Neocons be written on a level for kids to understand, so here it is….

Edit to add: Link below goes to PNAC 101 - Rise of the Neocons

====================================

A group of Very Bad Men wanted to rule the world so they created a private club called PNAC - the Project for a New American Century.

The PNAC decided the best way to rule the world was to control the oil supply and the best way to control the oil supply was to bully other countries into doing what they wanted. They dreamed of building a big and powerful military full of soldiers, planes, ships and bombs so everyone would be afraid of them.

They asked President Clinton to bomb Iraq because it had lots of oil but the President told them “NO!” This upset them very much and they decided that one of the PNAC members should be President so they could attack not only Iraq but other countries like Iran, Syria and North Korea too.

The PNAC had lots of friends and dirty tricks up their sleeve to make sure one of them would be President and have the power to start wars. They were sure their sneaky plans would work so they started to lay the foundation to build a big, bad, scary army. They decided that if something Really, Really Bad happened, no one would mind when they made their army bigger and stronger and the most powerful in the world.

In no time at all, they rigged the voting machines and had their friends on the Supreme Court declare that George W. Bush was President. George Bush then put other members of PNAC in important jobs so they could go ahead and attack Iraq when the time was right.

Next, they secretly gathered all the important people from the oil companies to decide how they’d share Iraq after they attacked. Then they planned for something Really, Really Bad to happen to give them an excuse for war….

There was a man in Afghanistan - right next door to Iraq - named Osama bin Laden who used to work with U.S. spies many years ago. They thought Osama could help them in their plot to make something Really, Really Bad happen and they gave millions of dollars to Osama’s friends so it would eventually get to him.

News leaked out that Osama was going to hijack airplanes to attack the U.S. and make something Really, Really Bad happen but George Bush didn’t do anything to protect us. In fact, he changed the rules to make it easier for Osama’s plans to come true… instead of letting the army Generals decide when to send our planes to protect America, a PNAC member was put in charge.

On September 11, 2001, something Really, Really Bad happened when airplanes flew into buildings in New York and Washington, DC. The PNAC member in charge of sending our military planes to protect us just sat and did nothing. Thousands of people died and everybody in America was sad, angry, upset and shocked.

Now that something Really, Really Bad had happened, George Bush said our army and air force would go into Afghanistan to punish Osama but what he really wanted to do was attack Iraq, right next door. The President told his staff to dig up evidence that Iraq had caused the Really, Really Bad event even though they had nothing to do with it. To make sure that Iraq was blamed, a special group called “The Office of Special Plans” was created to lie and twist the truth.

When bad things happened in the past, our Presidents always reassured us that everything would be okay. But George Bush told everybody that the world was a dark and evil place and we should be afraid. To make sure everybody was frightened enough for him to carry out his secret plans, important people were mailed anthrax from Army laboratories to make them sick. Some even died.

George Bush and his PNAC buddies had studied psychology and they knew if they kept everybody afraid they could do whatever they wanted and no one would complain. They were right…everybody was so upset after the Really, Really Bad event that they actually cheered when the U.S. attacked Afghanistan. As soon as we were in Afghanistan, George Bush and his PNAC pals started building up the military with plans of attacking Iraq, which is all they wanted to do to begin with!

It took them five years, thousands of dead people, and a ton of lies, but their dream finally came true when they finally got to declare war on Iraq and attacked them. Now they’re talking about attacking Iran which is on their wish list of oil-rich countries to invade. This story cannot have a happy ending as long as George Bush and PNAC are in charge of leading our country. Tell your parents to vote George Bush out of office if you want to see Peace ever again.

1. This is a keeper! It should be printed on neon colored paper

paper and stuck under windshield wipers at parking lots. It should be given to every freeper.


“instead of letting the army Generals decide when to send our planes to protect America, a PNAC member was put in charge.

"The PNAC member in charge of sending our military planes to protect us just sat and did nothing.”

That part I didn’t know about. Who was that PNAC member?

I always wondered why the fuck it took so long for whatever agency was supposed to respond to hijackings to respond...

2. I believe that refers to Rummy, though Cheney

also fits, and both are PNAC signatories.

3. This is great for kids, but it also should be shown to all Bush

supporters. Many of them are intelligent enough to understand your great little story and they might, just might, finally "get it". It is sorry to say, but I think simplifying the issues and the events down to the level of your great little story may be the only way to reach some of these bone-headed "adults" who continue to support the Moran in Chief.


Well done! :applause:

7. LOL! I did, too, when I read this this a.m.

I figured if there's one out there who's not informed, there has to be more. :hi:

4. I missed this the first time it was posted

So kick and R for more to see.

9. Unfortunately, the mentality that needs to be addressed is a kid-type

mentality - among far too many adults. Too trusting and unquestioning, you know, the way domineering parents expect their kids to be - to make life at home a whole lot easier. The way very young children usually are. That's the way the GOP prefers the electorate - trusting and unquestioning, while they go about their dirty business unchecked. Just the way they like it. The way things ought to be.

Particularly true when you consider how embarrassingly dumbed-down most of our population has become, aggravated by statements from people like kkkarl rove that "too much education isn't necessarily a good thing." Some of these well-meaning but gullible people probably have to be talked down to - at a level at which they can understand. It's probably why they fell for bush in the first place - because he was mentally at their level. I even read some newspaper account, back when bush was consistently referred to as the "popular wartime president," and one woman was quoted as saying she liked bush "because he talks so the poor people can understand."

Just galling it is, I tell ya. What WON'T these shitheads try to exploit?
