12. Keep it kicked and spread the word - the Crazies are the BFEE!
The Crazies

The right-wing think tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC) is founded in Washington. It flatly states that its main goal is to achieve global political and military dominion for the United States. Their first action is a statement that calls for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity." Members include Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby, James Woolsey, writer Francis Fukuyama, William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, Bush's Vice President Dan Quayle, billionaire publisher Steve Forbes, Reagan national security official and key Iran-contra figure Elliot Abrams, and writer Norman Podhoretz. It is this organization that coins the term "Pax Americana" to sum up its ideas for global dominion. Later, ABC's Ted Koppel will characterize PNAC's ideas as "a secret blueprint for US global dominion." Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern says that the PNAC members had a certain reputation around Washington: "When we saw those people coming back into town, all of us said...'Oh my God, the crazies are back.'" McGovern says that their geopolitical schemes of world domination would typically go "right into the circular file." (CCR, Dominion, Asia Times, Amy and David Goodman)
