Fatigue started settling down over him like heavy, cold air. I saw it in his face, eyes mostly, a sudden deadening heaviness. After turning his head and glancing at me like he knew I could see him de-energizing, he continued, voice withering: "‘92... Cheney, Defense Secretary, had his deputy Wolfowitz draw up a strategy report for establishing and protecting a New World Order. America as the new Rome. Pre-emptive attacks on any possible competitors. Nuclear weapons, go for it. Dominate the globe by force, control resources... permanent war. It’s all in the public record, go to the PNAC website. They made no secret about craving a catalyzing event such as Pearl Harbor to set their satanic plans in motion. The Air Force was ordered to stand down on nine-one-one so the terrorists could consummate their catalyzing event, and a new breed of Manifest Destiny was rolling. This time we’re not talking about sea to shining sea, we’re talkin’ about the whole fuckin’ planet. United States of Earth. Fear, hyped-up patriotism, xenophobia, permanent war on terror... such are their tools. And these are not a bunch of fringe radicals in their tanks anymore. Cheney, Rove, Rummy, Perle, Wolfowitz, Kristol, Feith, the others, the Extreme Court gave ‘em the keys. Resource wars are coming, oil first. We’ll take over supplies in the Middle East, then Africa, South America. Got sizeable reserves? We’re gonna link you with terror, plant phony evidence, whatever, then bomb. Yeah, the War on Terror, ticket to perpetual global mayhem, bottom line always and forever, the enriching of the rich, empowering of the powerful. Bilderberg orgasm. Smokescreens and mirrors. Millions of people slaughtered in the name of... Manifest Destiny also. The American angel Columbia bringing righteousness and light to any dark corner of the globe where precious natural resources beckon. (see American Progress) All over the planet, people obliterated just like Native Americans, in the name...." The effort of trying to get more oxygen into his blood seemed overwhelming. He dragged his tongue over his yellowed lips. "Just remember, P...N...A...C. Lizards with huge ideas that make sense only in tanks. If Americans don’t wake up fast...."
