"Here are some of the ideas that permeate the neoconservative philosophy.

 - The elite have a responsibility to deceive the masses.

 - Rulers are superior and have a right and obligation over those who are inferior. 

 - A cynical use of religion is important for delivering the message to a compliant society, arguing that this prevents individuals from independent thinking.

 - External threats unite the people; fear is a necessary ingredient for success.  According to Machiavelli, if an external threat does not exist, the leaders must create one. 

 - This unites the people and they become more obedient to the state.  Neoconservatives argue that this is in the best interest of the people since individualism is basically evil and the elite must meet their obligation to rule the incompetent.

 - Religion, lies, and war are the tools used by the neoconservatives to suppress individualism and fortify a ruling elite.  These views in various degrees and on certain issues are endorsed by the leaders of both political parties.  This is why individualism is under constant attack and why the philosophy of the Founders has been so severely undermined.  Neoconservatives will always deny they believe in these principles (part of their noble lying) since it would blow their cover. 

 - They actually do the opposite, claiming title to superpatriotism, and anyone who disagrees with their wars and welfare schemes is un-American, unpatriotic, nonhumanitarian, against the troops, and on and on.

Revitalizing the spirit of liberty could be achieved if the people demanded to hear the truth; that is exactly what the neoconservatives dread.  Today, most government lying, in cooperation with the main street media, is propaganda and spin.  This is recognized and accepted by those who are seeking truth.  War propaganda is a well-known phenomenon and even though many are aware of it, its incessant use by government officials and media works rather well in pushing people into a pro-war frenzy." -Pages 214 & 215 of Liberty Defined

"The New American Century" Documentary 2009

Although this is not an excerpt or video from Ron Paul, I believe it is critical that everyone watch this.

Here is a description of the movie.  Please note that the first 10 or so minutes talk about the events that unfolded on 9/11.  This is NOT a documentary discussing the "conspiracy" theory of 9/11 so please do not let the first several minutes of this movie to deter you from watching the entire thing.  I personally will never be the same after watching this.

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. “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.

"In spite of its complete lack of constitutional foundation..."

"In spite of its complete lack of constitutional foundation, this belief that the president may take the country to war on his own authority, without consulting anyone, has become the conventional wisdom in both major parties, although there has been a modest backlash against it since the Iraq war.  Neoconservatives have been particularly eager to promote this deviation from the Constitution.  This, it seems, is their version of the "living" Constitution." -Page 52 of The Revolution, A Manifesto
