I'm not familiar with that conspiracy. The necons redily admit that they want their corporations to be more powerful than any common entity and so state in their New American Century blog. Their underlying philosophy is that the ordinary people should be ruled by the "philosopher kings" or the self-appointed elite. TP

There was an interesting reference to the neocons and their obsession with the Leo Strauss philosophy of Rule by the Elite. (From a drudge link:) guardian.co.uk But the speech was aflame with images of destruction and vengeance. The neoconservatives were ecstatic, perhaps as much by their influence in inserting their gnostic codewords into the speech as the dogmatism of the speech itself. For them, Bush's rhetoric about "eternal hope that is meant to be fulfiled" was a sign of their triumph. The speech, crowed neocon William Kristol, who consulted on it, was indeed "informed by Strauss" - a reference to Leo Strauss, philosopher of obscurantist strands of absolutist thought, mentor and inspiration to some neocons who believe they fulfil his teaching by acting as tutors to politicians in need of their superior guidance. 'Informed" is hardly the precise word to account for the manipulation of Bush's impulses by cultish advisers with ulterior motives. The rest of the article is interesting too TP
