　転送、転載、引用、訳出、大歓迎！

　本日(2002/10/10)、午後、新著『９・11事件の真相』脱稿、10月25日には発売可能となり、しばしの休息、このところ時折覗くことにしていた米大統領立候補者リンドン・ラルーチェ（フランス語読みはラルーシュ）の電網宝庫を見たら、普段より大きな字で、「チェニーは辞任すべきだとラルーチェは語る」(LaRouche Says Cheney Must Resign)の見出しがあった。

　これは大変である。

　日付では、今月の4日に発行号(Vol. 29, No. 38, October 4, 2002)のトップ記事である。

　この記事への伏線としては、事前に、かなりの記事があるが、特には、911事件の翌月、昨年10月26日付けの記事、「ウオルフウィッツ秘密結社がアメリカ国内の敵」(`Wolfowitz Cabal' Is an Enemy Within U.S.)批判を挙げて置く。ここですでに、911からイラク攻撃に至る筋書きへの批判がなされている。

　こちらは以下の表題のみを紹介する。現国防次官、ユダヤ人のウオルフウィッツが中心に座る「新保守派」または「極右」集団の中に、現副大統領のチェニーも含まれているのである。

　ラルーチェは、彼らをアメリカの「国内の敵」と呼んでいたのである。

`Wolfowitz Cabal' Is an Enemy Within U.S.
by Michele Steinberg

　さて、最新の大見出し記事の内容だが、これは凄い。というのは、まず、私の以下の通信と呼応する内容の「ユーラシア大陸」全体の征服、「パクス・アメリカーナ」への野望を炙り出しているのである。

　以上で引用終わり。

　しかも、現在の焦点のイラクへの「先制攻撃」戦略が1990年に当時の国防長官チェニーらによって密かに編まれた世界戦略、『封じ込めから世界の主導権へ？』(From Containment to Global Leadership?)に遡るものであるだけでなく、何と、1928年の出版で、アングロ・アメリカンが共有する夢、H.G.ウエルズ原作、その名も『誰でも参加できる陰謀』（THE OPEN CONSPIRACY)に起源する「ウエルズ的悪夢」(Wellsian nightmare)なのだと、喝破している「のである。

　THE OPEN CONSPIRACYについては、次の電網宝庫に簡潔な解説がある。

THE OPEN CONSPIRACY
by H. G. Wells
Summary: 'The Open Conspiracy' was Wells' 'Blue print for a world revolution'; he regarded this book as his finished statement on the way the world ought to be ordered.[中略]
His book 'The Open Conspiracy' was published in 1928, subtitled 'Blue Prints for a World Revolution'.[後略]

　以上で引用終わり。

　私は、本が貴重品だった戦後の中学生の頃、戦前の本好きの叔父が残した20冊ほどの大型の古本、H.G.ウエルズの大著の日本語訳、『世界文化史大系』を愛読した。そのためもあって、ここでまた、私は、「ウエルズ的悪夢」という言葉に遭遇し、再び、驚いたのである。というのは、本日脱稿したばかりの新著の終わり際に、私は、次の項目を設け、同じ規模の「悪夢」を記していたからである。

　ああ、何とも恐ろしい一致なのであるが、考えてみれば、簡単なことなのかもしれない。少しは歴史を心得て、ユーラシア大陸の碁盤を睨むならば、岡目八目でも同じ発想が浮かぶがずだからである。以下、全文の紹介である。

LaRouche Demands
Cheney's Resignation

by Jeffrey Steinberg

Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. based his Sept. 20 demand for Vice President Dick Cheney's resignation on newly accumulated evidence that Cheney, and a team of his longtime underlings, have willfully lied to the American public, Congress, and the President, about the circumstances under which they have promoted war against Iraq; and have promulgated a dangerous new national security doctrine for the United States, based on the abrogation of the basic principles of international law and the Constitutional principles of the American Republic. The basic facts of the case are clear.

The White House's Sept. 19 proposed Congressional resolution on Iraq, and "The National Security Strategy of the United States of America," issued Sept. 17 over President George W. Bush's signature, have been presented as a "new" national security doctrine, forced by the events of Sept. 11, 2001, and by Saddam Hussein's persistent pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, which he is purportedly about to unleash against American targets and/or share with terrorists. The common feature of the draft war powers resolution and the "National Security Strategy" is that they promote a doctrine of American unilateral pre-emptive military action.

But as LaRouche wrote on Sept. 20, "The existing proof is, that neither of these two documents has been prompted in any way by factually defined, recent developments within the Iraq-controlled portions of the area within that nation's borders, nor... the attacks on the U.S.A. by any of the nations or organizations fingered as `rogue states' since Sept. 20, 2001."

The doctrine of preemptive war, which Bush Administration hawks claim is an outgrowth of 9/11 and the imminent threat posed by Saddam Hussein, was actually written in 1990, by Paul Wolfowitz, I. Lewis Libby, and other utopians. It was triggered by the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the prospect of the Anglo-American utopians moving unfettered to their goal of world imperium, in the image of H.G. Wells' book The Open Conspiracy.

Details of 1990 Pre-emption Doctrine

This was documented in an April 1, 2002 New Yorker magazine article by Nicholas Lemann. In "The Next World Order," Lemann reported:

"After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Dick Cheney, then the Secretary of Defense, set up a `shop,' as they say, to think about American foreign policy after the Cold War, at the grand strategic level. The project, whose existence was kept quiet, included people who are now back in the game, at a higher level: among them, Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense; Lewis Libby, Cheney's chief of staff; and Eric Edelman, a senior foreign-policy advisor to Cheney -- generally speaking, a cohesive group of conservatives who regard themselves as bigger-thinking, tougher-minded, and intellectually bolder than most other people in Washington... Colin Powell, then the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, mounted a competing and presumably more ideologically moderate effort to re-imagine American foreign policy and defense. A date was set -- May 21, 1990 -- on which each team would brief Cheney for an hour; Cheney would then brief President Bush, after which Bush would make a foreign-policy address unveiling the new grand strategy.

"Everybody worked for months on the `five-twenty-one brief,' with a sense that the shape of the post-Cold War world was at stake. When Wolfowitz and Powell arrived at Cheney's office on May 21st, Wolfowitz went first, but his briefing lasted far beyond the allotted hour, and Cheney (a hawk who, perhaps, liked what he was hearing) did not call time on him. Powell didn't get to present his alternate version of the future of the United States in the world until a couple of weeks later. Cheney briefed President Bush, using material mostly from Wolfowitz, and Bush prepared his major foreign-policy address. But he delivered it on August 2, 1990, the day that Iraq invaded Kuwait, so nobody noticed."

Lemann continued: "The team kept working. In 1992 the Times got its hands on a version of the material, and published a front-page story saying that the Pentagon envisioned a future in which the United States could, and should, prevent any other nation or alliance from becoming a great power... Controversy ensued about the Bush Administration's hawks being `unilateral' -- controversy that Cheney's people but an end to with denials and the counter-leak of an edited, softer version..."

The "softer version" was the parting-shot, January 1993 "Defense Strategy for the 1990s: The Regional Defense Strategy," issued by Cheney. Lemann also noted that another member of the Cheney team, Zalmay Khalilzad, published a short book, putting forward the same thesis several years into the Clinton Administration, under the title From Containment to Global Leadership?, which featured the same call for the United States to take preemptive steps to "preclude the rise of another global rival for the indefinite future.... It is a vital U.S. interest," Khalilzad preached, "to preclude such a development -- i.e., to be willing to use force if necessary for the purpose."

Buttressing the basic point of the Lemann story on the Cheney "Team B" exercise in the Spring of 1990, Jim Lobe wrote about the Spring 1992 Cheney draft Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), which promoted the same preemptive war doctrine, causing a factional firestorm inside Bush 41's team. Lobe wrote, in several online news publications in early September 2002, "When excerpts of the document first appeared in the New York Times in the Spring of 1992, Sen. Joe Biden, now chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was particularly outraged, calling it a prescription for `literally a Pax Americana,' an American empire...

"The document argued that the core assumption guiding U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century should be the need to establish permanent U.S. dominance over virtually all of Eurasia." Among the strategies spelled out by Wolfowitz and Libby: "Deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role," and taking preemptive action against states suspected of developing weapons of mass destruction.

Lobe reported, "The draft, leaked apparently by a high-ranking source in the military, sparked an intense but fleeting uproar. At the insistence of then-National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft and Secretary of State James Baker, the final DPG document was toned down beyond recognition."

Lobe then made the crucial link which Lyndon LaRouche had elaborated one day earlier during his Sept. 11, 2002 webcast (see EIR, Sept. 20): "Through the nineties, the two authors and their boss, then-Pentagon chief Dick Cheney, continued to wait for the right opportunity to fulfill their imperial dreams.

"Their long wait came to an end on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when two hijacked commercial airliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan and a third into the Pentagon outside Washington.

"And the timing could not have been more ideal. Dick Cheney had already become the most powerful vice president in U.S. history, while the draft's two authors, Wolfowitz and Libby, were now Deputy Defense Secretary and Cheney's chief of staff and national security adviser, respectively."

Lobe noted, "Advocates of the new paradigm are part of a coalition of three major political forces, which include right-wing Machtpolitikers, like Rumsfeld and Cheney, mainly Jewish neo-conservatives closely tied to the Likud Party in Israel, and leaders of the Christian and Catholic Right."

Project for the New American Century

Yet another piece of evidence supporting LaRouche's webcast analysis: The Sept. 15 issue of the Scottish Sunday Herald published an article by Neil Mackay, titled "Bush Planned Iraq `Regime Change' Before Becoming President." Mackay wrote that "a secret blueprint for U.S. global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure `regime change' even before he took power in January 2001."

Mackay referred to the September 2000 report, "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century," by the rabid neo-conservative think-tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC). He quoted from the section of the 90-page report dealing with Iraq: "The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."

The PNAC study precisely repeated the language of the 1990 and 1992 Cheney Defense Department studies, promoting a "blueprint for maintaining global U.S. preeminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests." It is not surprising that the study so closely followed the Pentagon studies of a decade earlier. Two of the principal participants in the task force that produced the document were Paul Wolfowitz and Lewis Libby. Others included Robert Kagan, William Kristol, and Dov Zakheim (now Pentagon Comptroller).

The Introduction to the PNAC's Sept. 2000 study was unabashed about the fact that it was based entirely on the Cheney Defense Department studies from the early 1990s. The Introduction stated, "In broad terms, we saw the project as building upon the defense strategy outlined by the Cheney Defense Department in the waning days of the Bush Administration. The Defense Policy Guidance (DPG) drafted in the early months of 1992 provided a blueprint for maintaining U.S. preeminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests... The basic tenets of the DPG, in our judgment, remain sound." This is hardly a surprising conclusion, given that the two primary authors of the Cheney DPG, Paul Wolfowitz and Lewis Libby, were participants in the group.

Indeed, the September 2000 study stated: "At present the United States faces no global rival. America's grand strategy should aim to preserve and extend this advantageous position as far into the future as possible. There are, however, potentially powerful states dissatisfied with the current situation and eager to change it, if they can, in directions that endanger the relatively peaceful, prosperous and free condition the world enjoys today. Up to now, they have been deterred from doing so by the capability and global presence of American military power. But, as that power declines, relatively and absolutely, the happy conditions that follow from it will be inevitably undermined. Preserving the desirable strategic situation in which the United States now finds itself requires a globally preeminent military capability both today and in the future."

Reviewing this book of evidence against the Cheney cabal, LaRouche noted that while there is no evidence placing responsibility for the 9/11 attacks on the doorsteps of this group, it is undeniable that no one else gained as much from them. From 1990, when the policy was first promoted, in response to the imminent collapse of the Soviet Empire, through to Sept. 11, 2001, the doctrine of imperial pre-emption and unilateral American military supremacy had been promoted by this group of utopians, but persistently beaten back, by combinations of military traditionalists and other institutional forces inside the United States, appalled at the idea of the U.S.A. abandoning its heritage for a British or Roman pursuit of world empire. he Cheney-Wolfowitz-Perle-Sharon gang moved, in the wake of 9/11, to pursue their Wellsian nightmare.
