Perpetual War, Fight Club and 9/11

From Reclaiming The Culture.

The requirement of "perpetual war" in the Straussian political framework and an "external threat" must exist, even if it is manufactured...this foreboding analysis of how Straussian philosophy permeated the underlying neoconservative political strategy: Only perpetual war can overturn the modern project, with its emphasis on self-preservation and 'creature comforts.'

Seymour Hersh's new book to detail "how eight or nine neoconservative, radicals if you will, overthrew the American government."

Veteran investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has broken some massive stories in his day, but uncovering secret societies within the highest echelons of America's military would probably be the biggest of his career.

Well, get ready for the media storm: That's essentially what Hersh told an audience in Doha, Qatar recently, according to a report published earlier this week by Foreign Policy.

Speaking at a campus operated by Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, Hersh said he was working on a new book that details how eight or nine neoconservative, radicals if you will, overthrew the American government.

It's not only that the neocons took it over but how easily they did it -- how Congress disappeared, how the press became part of it, how the public acquiesced," he continued, according to the published quotes.

Hersh also lamented President Obama's continuance of the Bush administration's worst abuses.
