The ‘Greater Israel’ Scheme And Its Global Power Play: A Delusional Recipe For Armageddon By Matthew Ehret In 1996, a nest of American-born imperialists revolving around Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Richard Perle created a new think tank  called  “The Project for a New American Century.” While the principled aim of the think tank ultimately hinged on a new “Pearl Harbor moment” that would justify a new era of regime-change wars in the Middle East, a secondary but equally important part of the formula involved the dominance of “Greater Israel” Likud fanatics then taking power over the murdered body of Yitzhak Rabin. It was toward the start of the new regime of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Richard Perle wrote the  report  “ Clean Break: A Strategy for Securing the  Realm,” which outlined a series of goals that would govern the strategic vision of Washington and Tel Aviv for the next two decades.

  What lies behind Benjamin Netanyahu’s lies and Hamas’s evasions by  Thierry Meyssan The official version of the Hamas-Israel war raises more questions than it answers.

That is a question that really interests me. —Theodore Zeldin Dear Friends + Interlocutors, What are they trying to do, what do they want to accomplish, and why? With reference to the entrenched cabal that has been running Washington for decades, in particular since the end of the Cold War (1990), these basic questions have been racking my brain in recent weeks.

Its collective mindset went fantee. To quote from  the Pentagon document , known as the Defense Planning Guidance:  “...The U.S. must show the lead...
