September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

“Another advantage of the totalitarian pattern is that it can be repeated indefinitely and keeps the
organization in a state of fluidity which permits it constantly to insert new layers, and define new
degrees of militancy.” [The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt, Harvest Book, 1968] 368
“Real power begins where secrecy begins.” [The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt,
Harvest Book, 1968] 403
For Arendt, militancy and secrecy were state or party sponsored. In this report, the
evidence has shown the emergence and use of private military armies by the Bush
administration and business partners in pursuit of their goals, as aligned through their
party allegiances. Such organizations have names which hide the fact that their sole
business is selling war and murder, packaged as “security.”
• Diligence
• FarWest
• CACI
• Strategic Consulting Group
• Titan Inc.
• Stratesec
There is however another layer of militancy, where organizations are fronts for illegal
intelligence operations, free of Congressional or Parliamentary oversight. These are
organizations where public leaders can deploy stolen public treasuries for the
purposes of advancing their personal business interests. They come under such
innocent names as
• International Republican Institute (not affiliated with the Republican Party)
• World Vision
• Wings of Democracy
• US-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce
• Office of Special Plans
• Internationale Weiterbildung und Entwicklung
• Azerbaijan International Operating Company
• American Commonwealth University
These organization and corporations are only a few of the “fronts” deployed by this
movement’s members.
7. It is a movement that masks its realities with lies.
“A mixture of gullibility and cynicism is prevalent in all ranks of totalitarian movements, and the
higher the rank, the more cynicism weighs down gullibility. The essential conviction shared by all
ranks, from fellow-traveler to leader, is that politics is a game of cheating and that the first
commandment of the movement: “The Fuehrer is always right,” is as necessary for the purpose of
world politics, i.e.., world-wide cheating, as the rules of military discipline are for the purpose of war
….
The result of this system is that the gullibility of sympathizers makes lies credible to the outside world,
while at the same time the graduated cynicism of membership and elite formation eliminates the
danger that the leader will ever be forced by the weight of his own propaganda to make good his own
