“Getting U.S. militarism back to a level of
incontestable, integral ideological hegemony has been a long sought goal that
appeared well in reach after 9/11. The shock and awe unleashed on
Iraq in 2003 was to restore U.S. militarism as the premier ideological
construct. Behind this construct U.S. power could fluidly unfold, as the
world’s only superpower demonstrated that no form of nationalist defiance would
go unpunished. A new era of neoliberal militarism was consolidating, according
to the architects of the new model—Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearle, Douglas
Feith, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld (among others)… The bellicose
architects and their many supporters in the Senate and House of
Representatives—many dumbstruck by 9/11—could count on the money,
allegiance, enthusiasm, trust, (press-led) jingoism, and short attention span
of the U.S. citizenry.”[135]

“Americans think their danger is terrorists. They
don't understand the terrorists cannot take away habeas corpus, the Bill of
Rights, the Constitution…The
terrorists are not anything like the threat that we face to the Bill of Rights
and the Constitution from our own government in the name of fighting terrorism.
Americans just aren't able to perceive that."[136]

“Al Qaeda is a creation and a tool of our own CIA. The CIA through the Pakistani Intelligence Bureau called the ISI funds it.
The facts are that we wired $100,000.00 to ISI that has links to al
Qaeda . In late September 2001 there was an FBI source that published a
report that determined that the FBI and CIA were linked to the ISI.
General Ahmad, the head of the Pakistani ISI wired $100,000 to al
Qaeda, in fact, to Muhammad Atta, the leader of the group that staged
the 9/11 attacks. This was in the Summer of 2001. This was in a press
report that was covered by the MSM, and talked about the ‘money man’
that financed and supported the 9/11 hijackers. This General Ahmed was
in Washington when the attacks on 9/11 occurred. He met with George
Tenent, Richard Armitage and Senator Joe Biden.”[12] Tim Gatto, August 17, 2007
“Bush and Cheney would have been impeached long ago if
Congress was carrying out the will of We the People, especially since last
November. By taking impeachment "off the table", Nancy Pelosi and the
Democratic power structure are abetting the formation of dictatorship and the
shredding of the Constitution. Why is this happening? The
answer can be summed up in two words: "Corporate Personhood".
Ever since the late 19th century, clever corporate lawyers have been gaining
the rights and privileges of persons for the fictitious persons that are
corporations.”[145]
