Do Any of Our Dem Leaders Understand the Ramifications , Care or
even Know about PNAC.


I’m curious because I never see mention of it, unless it’s a place like this.

Also, maybe 10 years ago, I had an elderly neighbor. He would frequently tell people that the world was controlled by 7 men. Others thought it was the ranting of an old coot, but I always thought he was a wise man. He’s gone now, and I wonder if it was PNAC he was talking about or something else.


He wasn’t a political person, but had some crazy political stories. He would talk about mansions in upstate NY filled with ladies, whose job it was to make politicians happy on weekends. I should have recorded it all.

1. Really. This stuff's been on the internet for years
Those PNAC letters are smoking gun evidence of the admin's amoral, imperialistic policies, but no one jumps on it? Do they think we're too stupid to understand?

8. As the theory goes: These people were around when this nation was set up
and they were the ones that determined such things as how many work days there would be in a week and how many hours per day we would work.

2. Yes, you should have recorded it all because it might be..................
....frightening and yet eye opening for many to read today.

I remember my grandfather saying the same kind of thing but in our family the "elders knew what they were talking about". Even though the yungins may not agree at the time we were required to listen and submit to memory what they said "as a warning for the future". Boy, is that warning ringing true now.:wow:

3. Trilateral Commission

That old man could have been my Dad. He has warned me about that group of men with all of the power for over 30 years now. He calls them bankers I call them the BFEE.

edit: as far as the Dems go I believe John Conyers is the only one I have heard make mention of the PNAC. Sad isn't it?

6. You can add The Council Of Foreign Affairs to that list.

7. Not true
Wes Clark has talked about (and called out the PNAC) for years.

4. I have also heard the theory of a handful of people control the world.
Edited on Tue Apr-04-06 02:39 PM by IsItJustMe
I am interested on 'who' or 'where' this got started. I remember hearing that one of them was a guy named Armstrong. I think he was a very very wealthy business man who was the founder of Proctor and Gamble.

As with most of these theories, there are Kernals of truth to them. It's not unthinkable to beleive that the super wealthy don't have great amounts of power to influence things the way they see fit.

5.  I worked for a very large, internationally renowned

manufacturing company. I was fortunate enough to become friendly with a high ranking manager. The stories this guy told were amazing. 3-4 times a year, certain CEO's of certain large multi-national corp's meet in a very opulent hotel/mansion/palace on a little island off the coast of Italy. This place was stocked with the finest liquor and the finest prostitutes in the World. These are the kind of people that secretly rule the world - corporate honchos. I mean, all you have to do is read a newspaper, or watch the news to see the proof. We are ALL owned and operated by a very select few.

10. My neighbor was from upstate NY,
as he liked to call it. He said the gov’t sent out instructions for people, of what to do if they heard a certain type of siren, even if they were driving their old Studebakers at the time it sounded.

They were supposed to pull off to the side of the road, take out their shovel, dig a ditch, drive the car over the ditch, and get in the hole.

Homeland Security hasn’t changed much. Now we just hide tuna and duck tape stuff.

11. Some plan.
When the heat flash of a nuke goes off, I'd really like to be in a ditch right under my gas tank.

:shrug:

At least Reagan said to put a piece of plywood over the hole.
