The New American Century (2009)
The New American Century goes into the untold history of The Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Let’s see what it has to say:
- Origins of PNAC:
- The Project for the New American Century developed from the belief of its founders, William Kristol and Robert Kagan, that the Republican Party lacked a compelling vision for American foreign policy.
- They aimed to effectively criticize President Bill Clinton’s foreign policy record.
- Major Themes:
- The documentary exposes how every major war in U.S. history was based on a complete fraud, with insiders themselves admitting it.
- It reveals how the first film theaters in the U.S. were used over a century ago to broadcast propaganda and manipulate public opinion during the Spanish-American War.
- The film connects the dots between PNAC’s white papers and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, fulfilling the oil company Unocal’s pipeline needs.
- Halliburton’s Excessive Spending:
- Under their cost plus exclusive contract with the U.S. government, Halliburton went on a reckless spending spree.
- Instead of blowing $30 million, they burned through BILLIONS, even destroying expensive vehicles over minor issues like a flat tire.
The New American Century puts light on hidden agendas, manipulation, and the complex web of interests shaping U.S. policies and actions.
