The Supreme Value System and Strategic Plan for World Rule
I was sceptical of the 9/11 events from the first time I saw the reel of it. It was on every major network within minutes. All the guilty parties were declared before any evidence was shown. The first questions of any criminal investigation were erased. Who had the most compelling motives for the event? Who alone had the means to explode two central icon buildings in New York into ashes and molten metal in seconds?1
Others questions soon arose in the aftermath. Why was all the evidence at the crime scenes removed or confiscated on the spot? Who was behind the continuous false information and non-stop repetition of ‘foreign/Arab terrorists’ when no proof of guilt existed? Who was blocking all independent inquiry?
Even 11 years on these questions are still not answered.
But those immediately named guilty without any forensic proof certainly fitted to the need for a plausible Enemy now that the ‘threat of the Soviet Union’ and ‘communist world rule’ was dead. How else could the billion-dollar-a-day military be justified with no peace dividend amidst a corporately hollowed-out U.S. economy entering its long-term slide? While all the media and most of the people asserted the official 9/11 conspiracy theory as given fact, not all did. A Bay-Street broker with whom I was improbably discussing the event in Cuba had no problem in recognising the value meaning. When I asked what he thought about the official conspiracy theory, he was frank: “You can call it what you want, but America needs a war to pull the people together and expand into new resource rich areas. That’s what it has always done from Mexico on. And that is what it needs now”. When I wondered why none in the know said so, he smirked: “It would be impolite”, adding, “It affects the entire future prosperity of America and the West”. And all the deaths? “It had to be done –far less than it could have been”. The 19 Arabs with box-cutters reducing the World Trade Center buildings to ash in a few seconds? He shrugged.
Thus everyone since 9/11 is prohibited nail-clippers on planes to confirm the absurd – including 15 of the 19 alleged hijackers being from Saudi Arabia and many found still alive after crashing the planes into the buildings.2 As for the diabolical mastermind Osama bin Laden, he is never linked by any evidence to the crime, never claims responsibility for the strike, and the videos of him are fakes. ‘Ground Zero’ is a double entendre. All doubts are erased a-priori.
Decoding the U.S. Theater of Wars and the Moral Driver Behind
One already knew that suspension of belief is the first act of fiction, and that instant culture rules the U.S. One already knew that monster technical events are America’s stock in trade. And one already knew the long history of false U.S. pretexts for war - so well established that a young strategic thinker a decade after 9/11 advises the right-wing Washington Policy Institute on how to create a crisis by deadly planned incident to make war on Iran – ‘it is the traditional way of getting into war for what is best in America’s interests”.3 One further knew from past research that the U.S.’s strategic leadership since 1945 had been Nazi-based in information and connections and the dominant Central-European figures articulating it ever after across Democrat and Republican lines have a common cause. For over 40 years, Henry Kissinger as Republican and Zbigniew Brzezinski as Democrat have been protégés of David Rockefeller, selected as Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group leaders, and capable on the record of any mass-homicidal plan ‘to advance U.S. interests’. The banker-and-oil imperial line through David Rockefeller as paradigm case goes back to the Nazi period to John Foster Dulles (an in-law) and his brother Allen Dulles (OSS and then CIA Director) , who Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg called a ‘traitors’ for their support of the Nazi regime. The Rockefeller Foundation funded and developed German Eugenics programs in the pre-war years and Standard Oil supplied oil in collaboration with I.G. Farben, and so on.4
More deeply, the supreme moral goal and strategic methods governing U.S. covert-state performance have not only have been very similar in moral principle, but have bridged underneath Rockefellers’ protégés Kissinger and Brzezinski, and more deeply still the theoretical godfather of U.S. covert state policy, Leo Strauss, who was funded out of Germany by David Rockefeller from the start. The inner logic of covert and not-so-covert U.S. corporate world rule since 1945 unified under Wall Street financial management and transnational corporate treaties for unhindered control of commodities and money capital flows across all borders is undeniable if seldom tracked. This architecture of the grand plan for a New World Order is evident in both strategic policy and global political and armed action over decades which have seen all the objectives increasingly fulfilled with deadly crises being constructed for war pretexts the standard technique. Behind them as first post-Nazi historical turn lies the 1947 National Security Act (NSA) which created the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and explicitly licenses destruction of life, truth and other societies as institutional methods. The CIA is charged with designing, planning and executing “propaganda, economic war, direct preventive action, sabotage, anti-sabotage, destruction, subversion against hostile States, assistance to clandestine liberation movements, guerrilla murders, assistance to indigenous groups opposed to the enemy countries of the ‘free world’. The linkage back to Nazi methods and world-rule goal as the highest moral objective is not just one of corresponding ultimate principles and strategic policy formation. It relied on Nazi SS intelligence sources and means from the beginning of the covert terror state.5
There is no heinous means that is not assumed as the highest morality by this long-standing covert institutional formation linking to the presidential office – as we will see more ahead. It is an explicitly secret system involving at least the Defense Department and the CIA, the former with many more operatives and offices. The Special Activities Division (SAD) to carry out NSA criminal operations, for typical example, also confers the highest honors awarded in recognition of distinguished valor and excellence – as did the earlier SS prototype in Germany. What people find difficult to recognise is that these actions whether by the SAD or other system operations are conceived as the highest duty, however life-system destructive and mass murderous they are - right to the top of the covert system. All are super patriots in their own view, as were the Nazis. Contradiction between declared and actual values, however, is a central mode of the covert system. For example, what can is considered a high duty in the perpetual U.S. ‘war on drugs’, the most morally obligatory commitment of the U.S. state, is at the same time a war against and with other drug operations to transport illegal hard drugs into the U.S. itself. We might see here a parallel between foreign mass murder and domestic mass murder in 9/11, with both regarded as high patriotism in this supreme morality. In the background of America’s Reichstag Fire and likewise disclosing the unlimited geo-strategic action that can be operationalized as necessary and good, the post-1945 U.S. control of international sea-lanes made the covert U.S. state the world’s dominant narcotics controller so as to fund secret criminal war actions from South-East Asia to Latin America, including by the addiction of its own peoples.6 This woeful method has been long known by experts, but only came to light in the Reagan-state funding of the death-squad Contras of Nicaragua as ‘the moral equivalent of the founding fathers’ (a tribute he later gave to both the drug-running warlords and the jihadists of Afghanistan later to be from the ‘al Qaeda’). At first these ultimate moral contradictions seem merely insane, but only if one does not comprehend the underlying supreme morality of which they are all expressions. This supreme morality is ever more total U.S. world rule and self-maximizing position at the same time, with global corporate money demand multiplication the ultimate value driver.
These lines of moral institution, policy, strategic plan, and massive life destruction at every level are indisputable facts of the covert and official faces of the U.S. state, but are not connected across the dots to the September 11, 2001 attack. Since most people cannot believe their ‘own government’ or ‘the leader of the free world’ could execute such a sabotage action as ‘9/11’ in which thousands of American themselves died, these behavioral reminders forge the unifying meaning. Worse still occurred in the last ‘war’ before 9/11 as we will shortly see.
Underneath the ‘stolen election’ of George Bush Jr. - whose family made its money by serving the covert financial requirements of the Nazi regime before and during the 1939-45 War - was a domestic and foreign administration which would push further than any in the past to ‘advance U.S. Interests’ to full-spectrum world rule. Its project included reversing the Roosevelt New Deal and the social state within the U.S. itself - “an anomaly” as Bush Jr. expressed the historical perspective and ethic at work. The plan was more explicit in the published Project for the New American Century formed from 1997 on. It even supplied the need for a 9/11 event in its 2000 version, the year that Bush Jr. was elected and the year before 9/11. To indicate the ‘non-partisan’ nature of the planning, Democrat National security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski had already called for a 9/11-style domestic attack to move policy forward in his 1998 book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives.7
The Moral Compass of 9/11
As a moral philosopher with social value systems as my primary object of analysis, my first thoughts in understanding ‘9/11’ were of the system motives, known methods, and objective interests driving the event which could coherently explain it. Whatever the immediate hold of the official conspiracy theory on the public mind, a rational explanation is required which is consistent with the suppressed facts and the organising geo-strategic plan on both sides of the event.
For over a decade before 9/11, there were three U.S.-propelled global trends that almost never come into the understanding of 9/11 itself. 9/11 truth seekers themselves have focused on the foreground technics and the transparent motive for oil. But these are undergirded by deeper se-shifts of geopolitical and economic wars of seizure and destruction by other name against which the world’s people were rising. To compel books of analysis into one unifying frame, transnational corporate-rights treaties from NAFTA to the Maastracht Treaty to the WTO overrode all other rights across borders; the private ‘financialization’ stripping of social sectors and welfare states had advanced across the world; and the totalizing movement of the system across all former ‘cold war’ and cultural borders was ‘the new world order’ in formation. Together these vast shifts towards transnational money-sequence rule of all reversed centuries of democratic evolution. And every step of the supreme value program was life blind at every step of its global operationalization.8
Yet states and cultures were so sweepingly re-set into unaccountable transnational corporate and bank rule that few recognised the absolutist value program being imposed on the world. Fewer still recognised all was unfolding according to plan.
What has been least appreciated about the long-term strategic plan unfolding on both sides of what was immediately called ‘9/11’ – Call Emergency! - is that supreme banker and global money director David Rockefeller had summarized “the plan” to fellow money-party elites across borders at the Bildersberg meeting in Baden Germany in June 1991 - exactly at the same time that the Soviet Union and its resistant barriers fell.9 Bear in mind that Rockefeller among other initiatives appointed both Kissinger and Brzezinski for the lead in both the supranational Bilderberg and Trilateral strategic bodies of which he was the lead patron, not to mention financed the unemployed academic Leo Strauss out of Germany to be the godfather ‘philosopher’ of the ‘new world order’. Rockefeller is very exact to his fellow ‘elite of the elite’ of the Western world where only Americans and Europe are invited and reportage excluded:
A supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries', Rockefeller said.10
Observe the foundational new concepts in place of responsible government and democratic accountability. They are now consigned to “past centuries”. A ‘supranational sovereignty’ has replaced them and is morally “preferable”. Rockefeller is not exaggerating. By 1991 a ‘supranational sovereignty’ had already developed in the form of transnational treaties conferring override rights to of ‘profit opportunity’ on transnational corporations and private bank rule of government finances across borders – procedurally trumping any elected legislatures and their laws which are inconsistent with their thousands of treaty articles, even when the system eventually leads to world depression as now.11 The source of the legitimacy of governments, ultimate ‘sovereignty’, has now passed as preferable to ‘an intellectual elite and bankers’: more exactly, academic strategy servants and transnational money sequences overriding all human and planetary life requirements a-priori by the supreme moral goal.
To test the meaning, ask which function of the world’s people and means of life is not now in debt to Wall Street and the private global banking system it leads. Ask which means of life from food and water to autos and pension cheques is not thus ultimately controlled, or which commodity is not under oligopolistic corporate sway. The ‘surely preferable’ objective was already achieved by 1991 or in advanced global institutional motion. Now supreme over all else so that all else is now accountable to it, and it is not accountable to anything above it, ‘the plan’ seemed all but accomplished by Rockefeller’s own considered words.
But what if people resist the new world rule with no life coordinate or constraint at any level of its execution? We may recall that during the death-squad rule of the Argentina generals at this time in which civilians were murdered and tortured in the thousands, National Security Adviser Kissinger congratulated the junta on their "very good results - - The quicker you succeed the better.” Kissinger also heartily approved of the earlier massacres and torture in Chile. The resistance was in this way pre-empted long before the Soviet Union fell, and after 1990 had no block in the Middle East and Central Asia either. ‘The plan’ has been very long term. Kissinger the geo-executer was originally appointed to high office by Rockefeller (to lead the Council on Foreign Relations back in 1954), and – to give a sense of the long-range trajectory of the plan design - was incredibly the U.S. administration’s first choice for an ‘independent 9/11 Commission’. The obviously not-independent Kissinger was still not a problem for ‘the free press and official discourse. But when he was required to disclose his business connections, he withdrew to stay covert in his ongoing backroom capacities and enrichment.
The 9/11 sacrifice is better understood within this deep-structural context of the unfolding plan. Thus David Rockefeller gave special thanks to the media like “the New York Times, Washington Post, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion” in co-operating with it. Rockefeller was again precise:
This plan for the world would have been impossible for us to develop if we had been subjected to the light of publicity during those years.12
The plan’s next decisive steps were in fact already in motion as Rockefeller expressed gratitude for the media black-out. A new strategic manifesto from the Pentagon was in preparation entitled “Defense Planning Guidance on Post-Cold- War Strategy,” completed on February 18, 1992.13 Prepared under the supervision of Paul Wolfowitz, then the Pentagon’s Undersecretary for Policy, it was disclosed in March of 1992 by the New York Times. After the first invasion of Iraq, it became known as the Project for the New American Century publicly released from 1997 to 2000 prior to 9/11. Again we may note the long arc of planning control, crisis and war as required. Item 6 of the strategic plan defined the agenda in general terms: “In the Middle East and Southwest Asia, our overall objective is to remain the predominant power in the region and preserve U.S. and western access to the region’s oil.”
Oil-rich Iraq had in fact been invaded – not only to privatize its peerlessly high-quality surface oilfields but to destroy its region-leading socialist infrastructure. Iraq became accessible for invasion as the arms-bankrupted Soviet Union was in collapse. We may observe that the covertly genocidal destruction of Iraq described ahead bridged Republican and Democrat administrations over three changes of government – disclosing how the covert state operates as a moral constant across party fronts. The actions confirm and express the one supreme moral goal identified above. They bridge on the ground from Saddam himself as CIA-payroll killer and war proxy against Iran to recapture lost Iran oilfields dating from 1980 to 1988 to the fall of the USSR in 1991 as the axis of the long-term strategic plan of global turnaround to ‘America’s century’ still to come before and after 9/11. But between 1990 and 2003 Saddam was transmuted from former ally, to aggressor against Kuwait in an invasion given an official green light from the U.S. government, to ‘mushroom cloud’ threat with invented ‘weapons of mass destruction’. In fact, National Security Adviser Wolfowitz explained after the invasion found nothing of the kind: “[We had] virtually no economic options with Iraq because the country floats on a sea of oil.” Observe how the invasion is conceived as obligatory for a reason that expresses the supreme value goal. Observe that it occurs less than two years after 9/11 which gave the open-cheque justification for the carpet bombing and occupation which allowed the expropriation of Iraq’s society’s oil resources.
The problem was not the evil Saddam or ‘the weapons of mass destruction’, the standard reverse projection.14 It was the Iraqi people themselves and their developed oil-funded social life infrastructure between the supreme oil-fields and their U.S. corporate control and privatization from 2003 on as the ‘supranational sovereignty’ in action. 9/11 was, thus, first the justification for invading Afghanistan – to clear the way for oil pipes into the former Soviet republics loaded with oil around the Caspian Sea like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan – pipes that prompted the U.S. representative to predictively warn the Taliban: “Either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs.”15 9/11 was then the necessary basis of justification for the carpet bombing of Baghdad for the unifying supreme objective.
In fact never published in the corporate media keeping the glare of publicity away from the supreme moral objective, the publicly owned and managed oil revenues of Iraq had been invested since the 1950’s in Iraq’s advanced social infrastructure leading the Middle East with free higher education, high health standards, and near universal livelihood security. The world’s oldest civilisation was robust in organisational capacities long before the CIA-asset Saddam was installed. Despite his murdering his way to the top in this function, even Saddam could not destroy the system because socialist government had been achieved decades earlier by a powerful oil-workers’ union base and a population glad to have all education free, an efficient low-cost foods delivery system, and the most advanced public healthcare system in the Middle East. So there was not only ‘the sea of oil’ as a motive to remove the people sitting on it to its rightful U.S. control in the new ‘supranational sovereignty’ of the world. Just as important in this ultimate moral cause, what the U.S. covert state always seeks to destroy by any means is a successful social infrastructure without private big oil, bankers and transnational corporations free to control it towards higher profit opportunities.

1 Understandably the improbable physics of the meltdown of the WTC steel-girded cement towers by a jet-plane impact has drawn increasing interest, with the nanothermite explanation of the explosion outwards of steel, the severing of fireproof steel columns, the molten metal and dust remains, and analysis of the residue dust found to contain it leading to the conclusion that a military-grade nanothermite explains the explosive conversion of the towers into millions of cubic yards of dust in under 10 seconds average (9 seconds in the South tower, 11 seconds in the North tower). Certainly the jet-fires of the official conspiracy theory cannot explain it without violating the laws of physics (e.g. the tested fireproof melting point of the steel, the shock-wave power required to explain the severed columns, the free-fall of the 500,000 tons of steel-cement resistance at near the speed of gravity, the explanation of ‘weakened steel’ by fires explaining 1.4% of the mass, the huge steel pieces flying outwards from the buildings, the conversion of the hundreds of thousands of tons of mass into fine dust in moments by fuel fire). The nanothermite explanation (h2 below) s is most widely supported by the 9/11 truth movement and its standard account is found in “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in the Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe” by Niels Harrit, et al. Open Chemical Physics Journal (April 6, 2009). Professor James Fetzer, an internationally eminent philosopher of science, provides in the article cited below the definitive taxonomy of the theories of the building falls as follows: (h1) the collapse theory, (h2) the nanothermite theory, (h3) the DEW [Directed Energy Weapon] theory [proposed by chemical and mechanical engineer Dr. Judy Wood who argues the molecular disassociation cannot be explained by chemical laws], and (h4), the micro-nuclear theory, which should be distinguished by its own sub-theories, including (h4a) the 150kt subbasement theory (associated with Dimitri Khalezov) and the (h4b) mini and micro-nuke theory (associated with The Anonymous Physicist, Dr. William Deagle, Dr. Ed Ward, Jeff Prager and Don Fox, among others).” <http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/10/29/mini-neutron-bombs-a-major-piece-of-the-911-puzzle/>. While Fetzer accepts the nano-thermite evidence of explosion, he argues it is insufficient to explain the combustion velocity required for such a pulverizing explosion, and so convincingly favours (h4b), the micro-nuclear explanans as most consistently adequate to the evidence. He as other informed experts rejects “the ‘official account’–that the buildings collapsed, due to the intense heat of the jet-fuel based fires, which caused the steel to lose its strength and lead to a cascade of floors falling upon one another” - as “the least defensible theory of all”. My analysis ahead of the official U.S. National Institute of Technology and Standards (NIST) account goes further, and logically demonstrates that it is a non-explanation by erasure. Analysis here also brackets out the demolition of Building 7, of which much has been made by the movement for 9/11 truth, as long ago known to be a standard demolition by its owner, Larry Silverstein, who made $500 million over his original investment by ‘pulling’ the building on the same day, and was, further, able to collect twice on his 3.5 billion insurance on his holdings in the other attacked buildings – a striking money-sequencing symbol of the very big business of 9/11 deconstructed ahead. <http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/background/owners.html>.

4 See Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy: An Expose of the Nazi-American Money Plot 1933-1949 (New York: Dell Publishing Co., 1983) is the classic documentation and historical account. Transnational corporations involved after war was declared in 1942 included IBM (concentration camp identification system), Dupont (chemical gases), General Motors, Ford (armoured vehicles) and Union Banking (in which George Bush Jr.’s grandfather was a Director, making the family’s fortune). All ended up not only with their property intact or returned but most with reparations for damages caused to it.
5 After the massive defeat of the German armed forces in the Battle of Stalingrad in January 1943, Martin Bormann, the Deputy Fuhrer and the main linkage of the Nazi party with the industrial and financial cartels that ran the German economy, conceived a plan for post-War organization of German Nazis in Latin America, South Africa, Egypt and Indonesia called the ‘Organization of Veterans of the S.S.,’ or Odessa by acronym. A main element of the Odessa was led by General Reinhard Gehlen who was head of the Foreign Armies East in German Army Headquarters. He was responsible for all intelligence operations through East Europe and the Soviet Union, and in the remaining months of the war deposited the extensive files in a hiding place in the Bavarian Alps. After the war was over, he negotiated a secret treaty to work ‘jointly with the Americans’ on the basis of the detailed files and the services of some 4000 agents. ‘By one estimate, some 70 per cent of the total intelligence flowing into NATO’s military committee and Allied headquarters (SHAPE) on the Soviet Union, the countries of East Europe, the rest of Europe and indeed the rest of the world was generated [from this source].’ (Carl Oglesby, 'The Secret Treaty of Fort Hunt’. Covert Action Bulletin, 35, Fall 1990, pp. 8–16.) Corroborating this heavily researched account, Lake Sagaris reports in her detailed study of Pinochet’s Chile (Sagaris, op. cit.) that Nazi activity and influence in Chile was particularly widespread during Pinochet’s military dictatorship from 1973–90 (cited in Graeme Mount, ‘The Long Shadow of Chile’s Fascism’, Literary Review of Canada, October 1996, pp. 8–10). Pinochet’s coup occurred on the same day as 9/11 (September 11, 1973).

New York: Basic Books, 1998: "Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." (p. 211). On the international front, Democrat national security adviser Brzezinski advised: “The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the final step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere power, the United States, as the sole and, indeed, the first truly global power." (p. xiii) and "To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.” (p.40). The 9/11 event managed to fulfil all these objectives at once.

9 While this analysis does track the David Rockefeller thread of ‘the plan’, it by no means restricts explanation to this dominant thread of moral meaning. Many other dominant money-sequence interests are in interlocked involvement with the supreme value purpose and its system enactment. In this interlock, for example, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo own Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP and Chevron Texaco along with Deutsche Bank, BNP, and Barclays, these corporations in turn having heavy involvement in supranational armaments and media systems. We may observe the wider interlocking system of transnational money-sequence control of global industry across domains in the Rockefeller portfolio of Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, BP Amoco, Marathon Oil, Freeport McMoran, Quaker Oats, ASARCO, United, Delta, Northwest, ITT, International Harvester, Xerox, Boeing, Westinghouse, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, International Paper, Pfizer, Motorola, Monsanto, Union Carbide and General Foods. (See concise summary at http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-federal-reserve-cartel-the-eight-families/25080). Wherever the U.S. state goes in demand, crime and war it is to enforce this private transnational money sequence system.

14 I define reverse projection as attributing to others what you are doing yourself as the reason for attacking them. U.S. foreign policy is defined by this generic reversal operation. The reversals have five standard operations: i. claiming humanitarian assistance to victims of a regime when in fact bombing or attacking them; ii. standing up to terrorism when by far the greater terrorism is perpetrated by doing so; iii. covertly supporting the very terrorist organisations as a justification for these dominant terrorist activities; iv. imposing the extremist form of terror, torture, to ‘stop the terrorists’; v. planning, organising and waging the supreme crime of humanity, a war of aggression, to compel the other society to ‘comply with the laws and norms of the community of nations.’
