Creating an "Arc of Crisis": The Destabilization of the Middle
East and Central Asia - The Mumbai Attacks and the “Strategy of Tension”
The International
Financial Institutions (IFIs) often create the conditions for political
instability, while covert Western intelligence support to disaffected
and radical groups creates the means for rebellion; which then becomes
the excuse for foreign military intervention; which then secures an imperial
military presence in the region, thus gaining control over the particular
region’s resources and strategic position. This is the age-old conquest
of empire: divide and conquer.

Indeed, where Al-Qaeda is present, the US military follows, and behind
the military, the oil companies wait and push; and behind the oil companies,
the banks cash in.

The illusion of freedom
[in America] will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion.
At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they
will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they
will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick
wall at the back of the theater." - Frank Zappa, musician and cultural
iconoclast
The New
American Century lasted a decade. Financial crisis and defeated objectives
in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Georgia brought the neoconservative project
for American world hegemony crashing to a close in the autumn of 2008.

In short,
we are living in an on-going state of emergency whose exact limits are
unknown, on the basis of a controversial deep event – 9/11 -- that
is still largely a mystery. Without endorsing the notion that a coup d’état
has occurred, I would categorically assert that a radically hegemonic
mindset, located primarily in Vice-President Cheney’s office, is
currently using 9/11, the war on terror, and secret COG rules to assert
prerogative limitations on the checks and balances of the U.S. constitution,
without any significant challenge from a compliant Congress and media.
