Stealing a Nation by John Pilger

STEALING A NATION (2004) is an extraordinary film about the plight of people of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean – secretly and brutally expelled from their homeland by British governments in the late 1960s and early 1970s, to make way for an American military base. The base, on the main island of Diego Garcia, was a launch pad for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq by John Pilger

In the 10 years (1991-2001) after Iraq invaded Kuwait, sanctions were imposed on Iraq through the UN, by the US and UK, the harsh restrictions on imports, including access to key medicines, resulted in far more deaths than the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and nagasaki, combined.

The point was regime change, but it never came. The overwhelming majority of those killed were the poor, elderly, women and children.

Empirically, sanctions overwhelmingly punish the poor, the destitute. While the sanctions were in place, the richest people in control of the resources (the regime) could still live a luxurious life and attempt to once more consolidate power. John Pilger tells the story.

The Infamous PNAC Document

In September 2000 the neo-straussian think-tank, called The Project for the New American Century (PNAC), published the now infamous document entitled Rebuilding America’s Defences.

In the wake of September 11th 2001 this document has come under increased scrutiny and has been widely quoted by critics of the War on Terrorism, as pointing to establishment complicity in the attacks of 9/11. It called for a revolution within the US military establishment so the US would become “tommorow’s dominant force”. This may be a slow process however, without, “some catastrophic and catalysing event like a new Pearl Harbour.”

The Project counts leaders of the US military, political, media, academic, and corporate, establishment amongst its subscribers. Including David Epstein, Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Francis Fukuyama, John R. Bolton, Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Steve Forbes, and so on.
