On Neo Conservatives
by Thomas Dahlheimer
President Dwight Eisenhower wrote, "We must guard against
the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial
complex. We must never let the weight of this combination
endanger our liberties or democratic processes."
If it goes unchecked it will inevitably lead to a state
of constant war, a fascist government and an ideology to
pursue total war and absolute world domination. The
industries involved, mostly arms and oil corporations,
economically profit and also gain political influence from
all conflicts and war. The global military-industrial
complex and its chief partner, the U.S.A., have this
dangerous new ideology, which is termed neo-conservatism.
The philosophy of this ideology is that it is often
compulsory for leaders to deceive and manipulate others for
their gain, as long as it benefits the state. In constitutional
democracies, the leadership power to deceive and manipulate
others resides in the "emergency powers." After the Nazis
created a state of "emergency" and blamed communist
terrorists for it, they were able to unite the German people
in opposition to a perceived "enemy". Hitler was thus enabled
to gain dictatorial power.
Under the neo-conservatives, the government of the United
States has grown larger than ever before. The neo-cons advocate
an imperialistic foreign policy. They believe in the concept of
pre-emptive war, are strong advocates of an American Empire
and that it is necessary to remove many personal liberties
to increase and sustain the state's power. They promote a
new, inclusive and integrative force, a new ideological tool,
a globalization stradegy, to contain and suppress nationalist
and oppositional movements around the world.
The neo-conservatives can not maintained their power
without help from the media, which is owned by the
military-industrial complex. The U.S. media is entirely
owned by a few corporations; Time Warner, Disney,
News Corporation, General Electric. GE is also a
military corporation and it is making high-tech
surveillance equipment, both are making it billions
of dollars from the "War on Terror," terrorists being
the new "enemy," and the emergence of a domestic police
state at home.
The anti-Soviet weapon is being replaced by the tool of
"free trade." This new phase of capitalist accumulation
and colonization is termed "globalization." Neo-cons advocate
integration versus fragmentation. Thus again, the world is seen
through the prism of the good versus the evil, with globalization
representing good, satisfaction of economic needs for
the wealthy and removal of trade barriers in pursuit of progress.
The tools of global governance are the global institutions of
management of the economy, environment and politics. They
include GATT, the World Trade Organization, the Security Council,
the World Bank and the IMF. NAFTA, APEC, the EU, and the G-8 are
among the regional instruments which are in synchronization
with the global institutions. Together, they are touted as
the instruments of integration and homogenization which counter
the global forces of fragmentation, which include nationalists,
Islamic fundamentalism, terrorism, Indigenous decolonization
movements and ethnic rivalries. This is the neo-cons plan
and strategy to usher in a new world order.
