G’Day World “On The Pod” #45 – Jason Miller

Jason S. Miller is a 38 y.o. American activist from Kansas who has been writing articles and blog posts articulating his concerns over the current American administration. We talk a lot about America’s current push for PAX AMERICANA and, in particular, the objectives of Rumsfeld/Cheney-lead “think tank” Project for the New American Century.

Jason’s blog: Thomas Paine’s Corner

Blueprint for American Imperialism: Project for the New American Century. Of particular interest, is this quote from Page 63 of the PNAC document “Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century“:

“Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor”.

This document was written in September 2000, 12 months before America got a new Pearl Harbour in the form of 9/11.

Jason’s activist essays have appeared on over 100 Websites, the distribution of his newsletter is now over 1500, and he has had 24,000 hits on his blog since May of 2005.

Some stats Jason provided in his recent newsletter:

Cost of the Empire’s Quest for Global Domination (and other stats):

American military deaths: 1,852 (since the occupation began on 3/19/03)

Americans Wounded in the Invasion and Occupation: 13,877

Iraqi Civilian Deaths: 23,000 to 25,000 (despite the propaganda to the contrary, they count as human beings too)

Monetary Cost of War: $188 billion and counting

National Debt: $7.9 trillion and counting (thanks to China and Japan for floating the Neocons the cash to carry out their perverse version of the American Dream)
