Beck Expects Terror From "the Left," Ignoring Recent History

Just as George "PNAC" Bush needed 9/11 to justify hegemony from "the Right," Barack "ZBig" Obama  needs a new catalyzing event to justify hegemony from "the Left"

Both PNAC ("the Right") and Zbigniew Brzezinski ("the Left") previously admitted that the American people would not support government hegemony unless there was a catalyzing event, a new Pearl Harbor

FREEDOMFRIENDS Rob Argento Nov 12, 2010 | Just as neoconservatives William Kristol and Robert Kagan's PNAC (Project for the New American Century) pretty much selected and advised President George W. Bush, neoliberal Zbigniew Brzezinski ("ZBig") promoted and advised President Obama. Why is this significant?

Well, both neoconservative and neoliberal camps had previously publicly urged US domination in the middle east and elsewhere, but suggested that the American people would not support something like that unless something catastrophic happened to bring them in tow. For example, Section V of PNAC's Rebuilding America's Defenses, titled Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force, includes the sentence: "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor."

Similar language in Brzezinski's book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And It's Geostrategic Imperatives indicated that "The attitude of the American public toward the external projection of American power has been much more ambivalent. The public supported America's engagement in World War II largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor."

As we see, both "the Right" and "the Left" acknowledge that sometimes something very big has to happen to shock the American people into supporting their strategic objectives, whether domestic or global.

If there is a worry here it is this: Frightening events can be used by "the Powers That Be" as much as by "the Terrorists" in their vain and possibly criminal pursuit of or disruption of political, economic and military domination.
