In September of the year 2000, the extremely influential neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century published a report titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses" which laid out an agenda for ensuring US world dominance in a post-Cold War world. It called for massive, sweeping changes in the current model for US policy, about which it made the following observation:
"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor. "
One year later, the neoconservatives got their "new Pearl Harbor" in the form of 9/11.
Following the title page of "Rebuilding America's Defenses" you will find an introduction titled "About the Project for the New American Century", which begins as follows:
"Established in the spring of 1997, the Project for the New American Century is a nonprofit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership. The Project is an initiative of the New Citizenship Project. William Kristol is chairman of the Project, and Robert Kagan, Devon Gaffney Cross, Bruce P. Jackson and John R. Bolton serve as directors."
You may have noticed that I mention some of those names quite a bit in my work, lately with a special focus on Mr. John Robert Bolton, who was recently named President Trump's new National Security Advisor. Bolton was one of the leading voices advancing the cause for George W. Bush's neoconservative wars, and he has remained easily the most aggressively hawkish neoconservative war pundit in Washington as he has continued to defend the Iraq invasion while advocating military aggression against every government which refuses to bow to the US-centralized empire.
Today journalist Abby Martin highlighted a Trump quote from January of this year, less than three months before the president would select a primary PNAC architect and insatiable warmonger to the most important advisory position in the executive branch. The quote got lost in the shuffle of the news churn and didn't get as much attention as it should have. The quote reads as follows:
“I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity. Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.”
We need to start paying attention to this shit.
The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists was waved through by Congress in the wake of 9/11, enabling the US to indefinitely station troops in any country with a terrorist presence, even if those terrorists have been armed and funded by the US government. The trauma inflicted upon Americans that September morning was used to corral them into supporting not one but two full-scale ground invasions in Bush's first term, which killed a million people, destabilized an entire region, and created a deluge of terrorist factions for the US war machine to play with and use to decimate Libya and Syria.
I'm not an expert on 9/11, but I do know for a fact that the preexisting agendas of western warmongers benefitted immensely from it, that the official story is riddled with massive plot holes, and that the US-centralized empire has an extensive history of using lies, propaganda and false flags to manufacture support for depraved acts of military violence. There is no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt at this point in history, and there is every reason not to.
The US-centralized empire is now according to its own data entering into a state of "post-primacy", which means in order to advance the neoconservative agenda of global domination something drastic is going to have to occur. In my estimation, that is what we are being prepped for with all this nonstop anti-Russia propaganda today.
This preparation has been necessary. If in 2015 we westerners were told by our Washington overlords that a war against the loose coalition of Iran, Russia and China was now unavoidable because of some new traumatic event, the public would have said "No, fuck off, we're not doing that." It really would have been a case of they had a war and nobody came. The illusion would have been shattered, trust in the establishment broken, trust in the media propaganda machine never to be restored again, and a wide open door for us all to throw off the machinations of existing power structures and build something new and healthy.
So they've needed to prep us, and they have been doing so with remarkable success. Prior to the end of 2016 the average American rarely even thought about Russia, almost never thought about Vladimir Putin, and had no idea what a Kremlin was. Now hatred for Russia is at the forefront of consciousness in mainstream America, and now infected the UK as well and is quickly metastasizing throughout Australia and Europe. The wood has been slowly dried for some major future event, and a false flag event will be like a lit match on the kindling. The media will pick it up and run with it full-throttle, and people will be herded by fear toward the war door.
It won't have to come from the US government. The new western empire is virtually borderless, and any government or group that is loyal to it could be enlisted to help enact such an agenda, making a false flag much harder to spot. It will likely take a great deal of inner clarity to see past the deception at first.
But we can still say no. We can all work to circulate awareness about where this all seems like it may be headed, so that when the event finally happens we can still say "No, fuck off, we're not doing that." We need to start sowing the seeds of doubt now, though, to inoculate as many people as possible from a future military psyop. Let people know what John Bolton is, tell them about PNAC, about America's history of using lies, propaganda and false flags to manufacture support for military operations. They can still have a war to which nobody came.
If we can pull that off, we can shrug off the oppression machine like a heavy coat on a warm day and build a healthy world together. We just have to wake up fast as a species before they drop the hammer.

Yes. I published this venn yesterday, which shows Bolton's financial connection to a major military-industrial complex company (EMS Technologies, a subsidiary of Honeywell).
I dearly love these Venn diagrams. They so clearly and easily show influences that inform consideration of the lack of integrity of our liabilities (some folks call them leaders, but they are the opposite of leaders, shoving us into peril, rather than leading us into peace).
Thanks!
hey valued, i noticed someone downvoted ya. looks like they r on a downvote spree fyi
Thank you! They started from a desire to show people what's going on without it being too terribly complicated. Hopefully it's working.
I tend to speak my mind, and some folks can't abide that.
Thanks!
Da-damns! These Venns should be the discussion-openers when talking about elitists, their motivations and the myriad speculations as to how they will behave in (-fill in your scenario here-). IF we start doing a better job speaking to the corporate/politico whoring that essentially "makes-the-market" in pivotal world events, regular people will be better able to separate fact from fiction and comfortably point to the shitholes taking decisions that are primarily based on their own enrichment. Nice work @geke
Wow, I just checked out your Steemit page and absolutely love these Venn diagrams. Well done! Please keep them coming; if you need suggestions for new ones I can offer some doozies. Following you now!
Those images are not yours! Why'd you sign them as such?

As you can see from this screenshot from 2012, the media still hates to give my branding any exposure, as they've cut it off in the graphic. However, they do attribute the graphic to me in the text. (BTW, these may be reproduced anywhere as they utilize only a Creative Commons license with attribution.)
I am proud to have found you, and now glad to be able to follow your future work.
In lak'ech ala k'in. <3
When I first started producing these venns, about 8 years ago, I used only a small text branding at the bottom that said "geke.us" (my website) and I started to see them showing up on reddit without the branding. I think there were five or six that were altered and plagiarized, so I rebranded them with a watermark so they couldn't be altered. Larry Lessig was using the altered venns and when I approached him and explained the situation, he posted an attribution to me.
If as such is indeed the case, then I stand corrected, and I extend an eloge for your hard work.
Thank you!
I have most of them saved on my laptop, but they're uncredited, beyond some #AnonymousUK hashtag.
Hence my outburst! 😊
The think tanks don't even hide it.
I'ma put that one in the article.
"Crisis initiation" ... "We could get nastier..." The way these people's mind works is frightening. Why are we listening to them?!
They listen to themselves, that's the problem. That's what think tanks are for. An echo chamber for their own beliefs and strategies.
I truly hope this is not the case!
I certainly hope not
Thank you for such a well organized article. I have been having concerns with Trump since his election, but the passing of the omnibus papers and appointing Bolton has sent chills down my back. We have been played, played badly. Rough times are ahead and I am unable to see any sign of light.
As McMaster leaves and Bolton comes in as National Security Adviser, has the final element for the perfect storm just fallen into place?
On September 11th 2001 PNAC got their Pearl Harbor, and within an hour of the strike, L. Paul Bremer had been conveniently available to tell the world exactly who had been responsible for the attacks.
Today, now that Saudi Arabia’s defacto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has hawkishly aligned his Kingdom with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, an event on the scale of 9/11 would be a little too obvious, and in my personal opinion, wholly unnecessary.
If your interim goal is war with Iran, you begin chipping away at its least powerful allies; Yemen, Lebanon and Syria. Maybe you could have “rebels’ overthrow the government in Yemen, or have Prime Minister Hariri resign in order to increase conflict in Lebanon, and perhaps ferment an uprising in Syria where Bashar al Assad ‘s forces will be obliged to respond.
In the confusion of existing conflict, devices such as assassinations and chemical attacks can then be attributed to the defensive parties and their assumed offensive backers, Iran and Russia.
Of course, Yemen, Syria and Lebanon, all or either, are simply the minnows to catch the fish, Iran. But Iran itself is little more than the fish that will lure the prize catch, which is Russia. So, whilst fermenting unrest in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria, you also chip away at Russia, and of course, any nation that identifies and publically objects to your actual intentions and actions: Qatar for example, can be isolated and ostracized from the international community.
John Bolton doesn’t need a new Pearl Harbor, he’s already got it, and my fear is that his arrival takes the existing groundwork towards the greater objective where a few will profit hugely whilst millions will die needlessly.
Well, ….. that’s what I think.
I reckon that's a highly cogent analysis.
Always judge a man/politician by his actions rather than his words.
Re-steemed this article because I strongly believe it to be not only correct in its assessment, but also the most likely path (war) ahead of us and we absolutely need to spread the word and wake people up!
I was reading an interesting post by State of The Nation entitled SOS: Q-squared Delivers a Set of Serious Messages About the POTUS which is interesting to say the least with regards to the recent John Bolton & War Hawks appointments. I am posting a bit of the article as images below.
But first I must make a personal disclaimer. In the SOTN article it does state their "source" as Q2 (Q squared) whom they say is also an intelligence officer. I have no way of verifying if this true but from the statements in that article it could be likely. But with regards to the other "Q", I don't see it as credible for the time being (i.e., only words, no concrete actions; wisdom is action, after all). Plus, I commented other reasons why I think they are not legit in this post.
Anyway, here are some clippets from the SOTN article:
"The final battle between #Christianity and #Islam is to be fought over #Damascus of #Sham", if one is to believe the #Khazarian prophecy. (?)
And these #ignoramuses, #presidents & #ivy #leaguers, as #stupefied as they can be allowed to be whilst still ably #entertaining the #witless #herd to the point of #pacification, seem more than #happy to oblige in this unbridled #fanaticism.
Thank you, though, for so pointing at the primary cause of humanity's deep-seething affliction, #IsRaEl. I tip my hat in your direction.

Great Post, but regarding Russia, we already had at least two false flags, which they are using to promote their ‘evil russia’ agenda. I’m talking about both mh17 crash in ukraine and skripali here.
I don't think you can paint Bolton as an ideologe, neocon or what ever . . . Rather just a cynical opportunist . . . the worst sort of Cheneyite toady/bottom feeder . . . he was Cheney's spy in Colin Powell's State Dept . . . he's been around a long time . . . His prominence is due to what??. . . His predictions have all been wrong . . . his promoted policies all would have been disasters . . . Yet here he has been all these years . . . and, most importantly, is at this moment in time . . . a reflection of the powers behind him . . . a sort of clown . . . Cheneyism in terminal trajectory . . .
I would like to see the whole quote attributed within the context of any article it ran it.
This is so bad. And so dangerous. China Petro Yuan HURRY PLEASE.
My motto in life is:
"Lead thy life
in such a way
that thy sole
existence
be an act of
revolution."
So I don't even partake of the geopolitical farce any longer.
It's hard for me to determine whether it'd be preferable for the Sun to scorch our entire planet, or for Gaia to upgrade her bacteriosphere to anti-human-mode.
Granted, I'd prefer a #Singularity event, but I doubt the capacity for nearly 8 billion ignoramuses to acclimatize to such an existence.
Is a "clean up"-event required for humanity to pull itself out of the proverbial gutter?
Must we stand on the precipice of death before so inclined to change ourselves?
I spewed some gall in one of my earlier posts...
Humanity; only possible without humans?
Have a read, @caitlinjohnstone , and please give me your thoughts! 🙏

Bolton as NSA is writing on the wall. He has but one aspiration: neverending war.
Guns, goats, and gold are your friends.
Get ready.
