“If 2005 was the year of global Peak Oil, worldwide oil production in the year 2030 will be the same as it was in 1980. However, the world’s population in 2030 will be both much larger (approximately twice) and much more industrialized (oil-dependent) than it was in 1980. Consequently, worldwide demand for oil will outpace worldwide production of oil by a significant margin. As a result, the price will skyrocket, oil-dependant economies will crumble, and resource wars will explode."

“In a similar sense, an oil-based economy such as ours doesn't need to deplete its entire reserve of oil before it begins to collapse. A shortfall between demand and supply as little as 10-15 percent is enough to wholly shatter an oil-dependent economy and reduce its citizenry to poverty.”

“The coming oil shocks won't be so short-lived. They represent the onset of a new, permanent condition. Once the decline gets under way, production will drop (conservatively) by 3% per year, every year. War, terrorism, extreme weather and other "above ground" geopolitical factors will likely push the effective decline rate past 10% per year, thus cutting the total supply by 50% in 7 years.”

“It's not just transportation and agriculture that are entirely dependent on abundant, cheap oil. Modern medicine, water distribution, and national defense are each entirely powered by oil and petroleum derived chemicals.”

“The effects of even a small drop in production can be devastating. For instance, during the 1970s oil shocks, shortfalls in production as small as 5% caused the price of oil to nearly quadruple. The same thing happened in California a few years ago with natural gas: a production drop of less than 5% caused prices to skyrocket by 400%.”

The document’s mission statement reads, ““We need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our global responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for the future,”.

“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.”

“Even should Saddam pass from the scene,” the plan says U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain, despite domestic opposition in the Gulf states to the permanent stationing of U.S. troops. Iran, it says, “may well prove as large a threat to U.S. interests as Iraq has.”

A “core mission” for the transformed U.S. military is to “fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars,” according to the PNAC.

The strategic “transformation” of the U.S. military into an imperialistic force of global domination would require a huge increase in defense spending to “a minimum level of 3.5 to 3.8 percent of gross domestic product, adding $15 billion to $20 billion to total defense spending annually,” the PNAC plan said.

“The process of transformation… is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor.”

Not show probable cause, nor even reasonable grounds to believe that the person whose records it seeks is engaged in criminal activity. (Eliminating probable cause and reasonable suspicion, nice.)

Need not have any suspicion that the subject of the investigation is a foreign power or agent of a foreign power. (They can spy on US citizens.)

Investigate United States persons based in part on their exercise of First Amendment rights, and it can investigate non-United States persons based solely on their exercise of First Amendment rights. Those who are the subjects of the surveillance are never notified that their privacy has been compromised. (If I go to an anti-war rally and exercise my Freedom of Speech, that could be cause enough to be secretly investigated.)

Expansion of the definition of terrorism whereby individuals engaged in civil disobedience could risk losing their citizenship, and their organization could be subject to wiretapping and asset seizure;

Establishment of a national ID card, disguised as national standardization of drivers licensing.

Establishment of a national electronic database for birth and death certificates, with permanent identifying information assigned to each individual, such as a national ID number. (Didn’t the Nazis tattoo prisoners in their concentration camps with a number?)

Biometric identifiers - including fingerprints, face recognition software photos, iris or retinal scans, and other private physical identification - for travel documents which would be used for security in domestic air travel as well as overseas travel. (New passports that are issued already have an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chip in them. They have developed a pill-sized RFID implant that gets placed under your skin and allows the government to follow your every move. CNN reported about a Florida family that has volunteered to be the first recipients of this because they ‘wanted to feel safe’ from the terrorists.)

Enhanced "material support" provisions, allowing guilt by association with a group targeted by the administration; removal of habeas corpus relief for those detained under repressive immigration measures.

Allowing the death penalty in terrorism cases (with "terrorism" as defined in the USA PATRIOT Act); [The Patriot Act’s definition of “Terrorism”; USA PATRIOT Act: "activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state, that (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S."] You can be deemed a ‘Terrorist’ if you get into a barfight???

Americans could be extradited, searched and wiretapped at the behest of foreign nations, whether or not treaties allow it.

Lawful immigrants would be stripped of the right to a fair deportation hearing and federal courts would not be allowed to review immigration rulings.
