The DLC and PNAC share the same origin

Edited on Sun Dec-25-05 02:53 PM by LunaC

Current PNAC members were proteges of Henry ("Scoop”) Jackson and Daniel Patrick (“Pat”) Moynihan

“…look at the 1970s, when the neo-conservatives in the Democratic Party grouped themselves into the Coalition for a Democratic Majority (CDM). The CDM's two leading lights in Congress were the Democratic Senators Henry "Scoop" Jackson and Patrick Moynihan. The Cold Warrior and fanatically pro-Israel Jackson remains the model for the DLC crowd today. The DLC's former President, Sen. Joe Lieberman declares he is proud to be identified as a " 'Scoop' Jackson Democrat." It was these two Senators' offices that housed the Leo Straussian "Children of Satan" behind the no-exit Iraq War.

From Jackson's staff came:

* Paul Wolfowitz, now Deputy Secretary of Defense and a leading Straussian chicken-hawk;

* Richard Perle (on Jackson's staff from 1969 until going into the Defense Department in 1981), and until his recent forced
resignation, chairman of Rumsfeld's Defense Policy Board. It is reported that Perle maintains Democratic Party membership
to this day, out of fealty to Scoop. Perle later brought along Doug Feith, now Rumsfeld's Undersecretary for Policy, who has
been a Perle "groupie" since the late 1970s, largely due to Feith's family background deep in the terrorist movement
founded by Zionist fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky. In the 1980s, Feith financed Perle through the International Advisers Inc.,
a firm in which Feith was the only stockholder;

* Frank Gaffney, who heads the Center for Security Policy, a "private" neo-con group which cheerleads for imperial wars and
brutally anti-Palestinian policies;

From Moynihan's office came:

* Elliott Abrams, an Iran/Contra convict who now tries to shape Administration Middle East policy from the National Security
Council staff;

* Abram Shulsky, who heads the Office of Special Plans under Feith in the Pentagon, which concocted fraudulent intelligence
estimates used by the Administration to justify the Iraq War;

* Gary Schmitt, the head of the empire-promoting Project for a New American Century and a close collaborator of Shulsky.
Schmitt worked under Roy Godson of the National Strategy Information Center in the early 1980s. Anti-LaRouche operative
Godson was active in the CDM in the 1970s, narrowly escaped prosecution in the Iran-Contra scandals of the 1980s, and now
is a consultant to Feith and Shulsky's Office of Special Plans.

Many thanks to Octafish for putting me on the trail of “Scoop” Jackson and inspiring me to stumble onto this discovery. I was pretty shocked to learn how the DLC and PNAC share the same heritage. Now I have a better understanding of Lieberman - he's from the Democratic branch of PNAC!

While rooting around on Google, I also discovered that Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz, Abramowitz and Carlucci were part of the Balkan Action Committee which brought us the war against Yugoslavia just because the Caspian region has the world's largest untapped oil reserves. These bastards have been fucking up the world in the pursuit of oil for a long time!
