"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.

"... where is the exposure for those who favor a noninterventionist foreign policy?"

"... where is the exposure for those who favor a noninterventionist foreign policy?  These individuals would have avoided the Iraq fiasco altogether.  America would be trillions richer over the long term, Iraqi society would not be in shambles, and countless Americans and Iraqis alike would still be alive.  Noninterventionists have been entirely vindicated.  And yet they do not enjoy the places of prominence that the establishment has bestowed on those who have been consistently wrong, and responsible for carnage and destruction that have destroyed our good name around the world and isolated us more than ever in our history.  In fact, they are scarcely to be found at all."  -Page 29 of The Revolution, A Manifesto

"There are those who condemn noninterventionists...."

"There are those who condemn noninterventionists for being insufficiently ambitious, for their unwillingness to embrace "national greatness" - as if a nation's greatness could be measured according to any calculus other than the virtues of its people and the excellence of its institutions.  These critics should have the honesty to condemn the Founding Fathers for the same defect.  They wouldn't dare.  But it would be refreshing to hear it stated in so many words: our current political class is blessed with historic genius, and Jefferson, Washington, and Madison were contemptible fools." -Page 14 of The Revolution, A Manifesto

"Anyone who advocates the noninterventionist foreign policy....."

"Anyone who advocates the noninterventionist foreign policy of the Founding Fathers can expect to be derided as an isolationist.  I myself have never been an isolationist.  I favor the very opposite of isolation: diplomacy, free trade, and freedom of travel.  The real isolationists are those who impose sanctions and embargoes on countries and peoples across the globe because they disagree with the internal and foreign policies of their leaders.  The real isolationists are those who choose to use force overseas to promote democracy, rather than seeking change through diplomacy, rather than seeking change through diplomacy, engagement, and by setting a positive example.  The real isolationists are those who isolate their country in the court of world opinion by pursuing needless belligerence and war that have nothing to do with legitimate national security concerns." -Pages 10-11 of The Revolution, A Manifesto

"If the Founders' advice is acknowledged at all....."

"If the Founders' advice is acknowledged at all, it is dismissed on the grounds that we no longer live in their times.  The same hackneyed argument could be used against any of the other principles the Founders gave us.  Should we give up the First Amendment because times have changed? How about the rest of the Bill of Rights? It's hypocritical and childish to dismiss certain founding principles simply because a convenient rationale is needed to justify foolish policies today.  The principles enshrined in the Constitution do not change.  If anything, today's more complex world cries out for the moral clarity of a noninterventionist foreign policy.

It is easy to dismiss the noninterventionist view as the quaint aspiration of men who lived in a less complicated world, but it's not so easy to demonstrate how our current policies serve any national interest at all. "  -Page 10 of The Revolution, A Manifesto

"Early on in my presidential campaign, people began...."

"Early on in my presidential campaign, people began describing my message and agenda as a "revolution." In a way, it is, albeit a peaceful one.  In a country with a political debate as restricted as ours, it is revolutionary to ask whether we need troops in 130 countries and whether the noninterventionist foreign policy recommended by our Founding Fathers might not be better.  It is revolutionary to ask whether the accumulation of more and more power in Washington has been good for us.  It is revolutionary to ask fundamental questions about privacy, police-state measures, taxation, social policy, and countless other matters. 

This revolution, though, is not altogether new.  It is a peaceful continuation of the American Revolution and the principles of our Founding Fathers: liberty, self-government, the Constitution, and a noninterventionist foreign policy.  That is what they taught us, and that is what we now defend."  -Page 6 of The Revolution, A Manifesto
