• How do you transfer from a Democratic-Republic to a Fascist Authoritarian Dictatorship?

  One step at a time...

  
  

   Want to know what BOOsh’s plan is to help Americans with our Healthcare Crisis? “Go Shopping!!” The BIC recently signed a Dictation that ordered the health industry to compile and share information with patients that would allow them to “weigh their options, and seek the best price/quality”.

  
  

   Here’s what BOOsh’s Death Secretary Leavitt said: “We're all about being cost-conscious … It's just the American way. We clip coupons. We check for bargain flights on the Web. We carefully research major purchases. But when it comes to health care, we lack the tools to compare either quality or the costs.”

  
  

   So, we are supposed to treat our health needs as if they could be bargained with? BOOsh’s order apparently says: “Use, where available, health information computer systems that talk to each other. That way, the health records of a veteran living in Maine can be viewed by a doctor working in California if the veteran needs emergency care there during a vacation.” Ok, what if someone needs a heart transplant, or some kind of emergency life saving surgery? Does this near-death patient REALLY have to look at a list that compares which hospital will give them better results and lower prices as if it’s some f**king store advertisement search for the best prices of bread? What if that emergency surgery has to take place immediately? Will that patient be able to wait for transportation across the country, out of the city or to the next state? RIDICULOUS!! Just another excuse for Repugs to ignore true Healthcare Reform that would actually benefit the American People!!

  
  

   BOOsh talked the talk after Katrina, but – as he usually does – has come short in actually living up to his promise to help “heal” the wounds of the Gulf Coast. His Regime allowed a select few reconstruction companies to overcharge the government by four times or more, handed out over 7 Billion dollars worth of No-Bid Contracts to a select few companies, they refused to build the levees to withstand a Category Five hurricane, they allowed up to One Billion dollars to be wasted with no results, the majority of the Katrina Refugees are still technically homeless, and BOOsh’s people keep refusing to help that State and Local governments by saying that it “costs too much”. Did you expect anything else?

  
  

   Rush Limbaugh recently stated that all those opposed to this War in Iraq or any of BOOsh’s actions are “actively seeking our defeat”. He proclaims that all liberals want our country to “lose” and that we are all therefore “unpatriotic”. He states that he “respectively disagrees” with the Dictator who falsely claimed that he doesn’t “question the patriotism” of those who oppose him. Limbaugh basically claimed that because we “don’t view the world the same way” as they do, then we are hence; un-American. To claim that wanting an end to a war based on false pretenses and that violated all kinds of laws is unpatriotic is deceitful. To proclaim that just because we have a different view on how to truly defeat terrorism that we want to “lose the fight” is straight out wrong.

  
  

   The fact is simple; these people – the neo-conservatives that run this country and our media – are fascist. Define fascist: a reactionary and dictatorial person. These people want us – the American people, whose inalienable rights are protected by the great 219 year old “piece of paper” – to cede our liberties to a group of people that want to tell us which of those rights we can have during their so-called “war on terror” (war to terrorize). How is that not “dictating”? Define dictate: to give orders, an authoritative order or command.

  
  

   If you don’t see the recent actions of this Repug ran government as Fascist and an attempt to disintegrate the Democratic-Republic that we live in; then you are truly blind. If you study history, you will learn that Repugs usually side with the old-extinct Federalist party. The Democrats came from the Old Democratic-Republican party. What was the clear difference? Democratic-Republicans stood up for a Democratic-Republican society that worked for the people, elected by the people, and that kept each level and branch in government balanced and in check. The Federalists wanted a STRONG CENTRAL government that ruled over the states and dictated to them what they could and could not do. That’s the facts.

  
  

   Ever hear about the company that BOOsh’s former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson leads nowadays? It’s called VeriChip, and it has created a chip that can be implanted in your skin. They say that it is the size of a “grain of rice”, and it has won FDA approval. The Securities and Exchange Commission complains that the chip could dislodge and travel elsewhere in your body, as well as cause infections and other discomforting problems. They started implanting these chips in the bodies that were found in Katrina’s aftermath last year to identify the bodies, and now they have a new plan; implanting it in every member of our military!! They have promised to allow our soldiers to have a choice of whether or not to accept it, but the attempt is to replace the age-old “dog tags” with this chip in due time. Now, that’s some scary….you know what.

  
  

   The woman that helped BOOsh steal Florida in 2000 is running for the U.S. Senate; former Florida Secretary of State and current Congresswoman Katherine Harris recently claimed that “God chooses our rulers” and that “God never intended this to be a nation of secular laws…(allowing such a thing will allow the government to) legislate sin”; using these as her reasoning that Church and State are not and shouldn’t ever be separate (BTW, isn’t legislating war, legislating sin? Isn’t legislating pay offs to the rich instead of helping the needy legislating sin? Hmmm…). Let me express something here;

  
  

   Read the Following Biblical Verse: Matthew 22:21 “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.”

  
  

   And now the First Amendment of the Constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”

  
  

   Finally, a quote from our Third President, and the Author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson on the First of January of 1802 in a letter to a Church:

  
  

  “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”

  
  

   With all three that I have shared with you so far, I will conclude with this: The law doesn’t prohibit members of government from practicing their private religious beliefs. It merely prevents them from using that power, that influence from proselytizing to the people they serve. It prevents them from making laws that dictate to people which religion is right, and/or whether or not religion can be practiced at all. Jesus Christ – the son of God – strongly preached the importance (which is repeated in two other verses in the Bible) of keeping the two separate in action and in collecting any kind of taxes/tithes. This prevents the creation of a Theocratic Government, as well as an anti-religious government. Harris is a twit, or a liar…plain and simple.

  
  

   In yet another attempt to suppress the First Amendment and create a strong centralized Fascist Federal Government; Repugs in Congress want to restrict the right of the people and of the body they serve in to keep oversight of government actions. Their attempt is to officially make it illegal to share most actions that the government takes with the people they serve and with themselves. How do you transition a nation from Republic to Dictatorship? Eliminate Checks and Balances and sneak some curtailments of liberties for the people. Plain and simple.

  
  

   Ever looked up towards the sky after a jet has flown above? Ever noticed that white trail that seems to look like stratus clouds? Ever wondered why it stays there for so long? There are quite a few reports that those trails are packed with chemicals, and could be one of the key reasons why respiratory diseases are becoming so rampant. Having had asthma since I was six months old, I tend to read stories like this to get informed as to why I am so cursed with this dreadful illness. Either way, I want more answers.

  
  

   Prominent members of the Repug party are advocating a “moratorium” on immigration in order to preserve the “white race”. Sound like neo-Nazi propaganda to you? Well, look no further than Patrick Buchanan. Former Repug and then Reform Party Presidential Candidate, and news commentator for MSNBC. This is what he said exactly: “America faces an existential crisis. If we do not get control of our borders, by 2050 Americans of European descent will be a minority in the nation their ancestors created and built. No nation has ever undergone so radical a demographic transformation and survived.” Reality check, our founding fathers may have been from Europe, but the workforce and military might were built on the backs of Americans that were from all over the world (hence the nickname “melting pot”). Furthermore, those same European Ancestors you speak of conquered and slaughtered many natives for this land. In effect, it was stolen from the original inhabitants!! Self Righteous bigot!!

  
  

   It’s so interesting to peer into the mindset of a Tyrant like BOOsh. A man that views himself as being solely responsible for the federal government, a man that believes not in the separation of powers or of Church and State, a man that has expressed his belief that the Constitution is merely a “g*damned piece of paper”. What an incredible man we have at the helm, what an incredible leader we have to take us through the storm, the author of the “war to terrorize” and the one responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths…has indeed – in the words of fundamentalist “evangelists” and of Katherine Harris…been appointed by “god” (mammon). Oh Lord, help us all.

  
  

   Fundamentalists have no place in the medical profession; especially when their extremist beliefs hinder them from doing their job. A young woman that suffered a rape was denied the right to an emergency contraceptive called “plan B” because the doctor felt that it was immoral. So, now doctors make up the law as they go?! Hey, medical practitioners; you have a job to do, you took an oath…HONOR IT!!

  
  

   Iran - in response to the recent tension over their controversial enrichment program - has launched a series of war games to showcase their ability to defend their country against any threat. Diplomacy is the only way to make this end in a good way, war will only cause more problems for our country, for the region and for the innocent.

  
  

   It is depressing to see how much of a failure “Operation Enduring Freedom” (War in Afghanistan) has become. In the past year or so, the Afghan people have drawn up a laundry list of complaints about their government and the Imperial Occupants. Their “president”, Hamid Karzai, has had so much hatred directed towards him for allowing drug warlords and the mafia to take control of the police. He has permitted corrupted officials to take seats in their Supreme Court and sits by as thousands remain without food, or jobs. Hundreds of Afghans are applying for visas to find jobs in Iran and Pakistan, because of what their nation lacks. People are actually turning to the Taliban for help, because they have lost faith in the new Afghan Government’s ability to serve them properly. Once again, this is NO WAY to win their “hearts and minds”. Do the research; some leading causes of terrorist activity/recruitment are Poverty, Corrupted Governments, Joblessness, and the slaughter of loved ones. If nothing changes soon, Afghan will become another “Iraq”.

  
  

   Using the “War to Terrorize” as an excuse, BOOsh and company are seeking a number of changes to law in order to divert any legal action against those of them that have broken American and International laws. The first change is an amendment to a law that would prevent defendants from using the Geneva Conventions as a defense in American Courts. The Second is an amendment to the war crimes act that would eliminate our nation’s obligation to obey the anti-torture article of the Geneva Conventions. The BOOsh Regime claims that these proposed changes won’t change our “obligations…under the Geneva Conventions.” I say bulls**t.  How can you prevent a defendant from using International law as a defense in court? If any other country were to do such a thing; these people in our government would launch a massive outcry against that obvious violation. Hypocrisy…plain and simple.

  
  

   Isn’t it just common knowledge that BOOsh should be tried for his war crimes against humanity? Well, it is so obvious that the man who prosecuted the Nazis during the Nuremburg trials has actually come out strongly in favor of such action. If a man that helped bring the most criminal military to that date to justice believes that BOOsh should be held accountable for crimes similar or worse, then I demand action be taken NOW!!

  
  

   Either Mr. Roboto needs the Energizer Battery or his transmitter suffered a recent malfunction of humiliating proportions: (From the BIC himself) “I made my position clear about this war on terror. I uh... And uh... by the way, the enemy made their position clear, yet again, when they... when... wwwwww... when... when umm... we were able to um... stop 'em, see.” LMAO.

  
  

   When an environmentalist recently attended a meeting regarding an issue of how to improve fish migration in the Mississippi river, he proposed getting rid of the local dam that hinders fish from naturally moving around and – following a misleading report by his local newspaper regarding his comments – a brief run in with the FBI; this guy is all shook up. It seems like anyone – and I mean anyone, on the left hand of the political spectrum – can be a “terrorist”. Land of the Free indeed…

  
  

   For all of you Repugs out there that “drink the koolaid” that has been poured by the Fundamentalists (which says that Iraq and 9/11 were linked somehow), read this quote from BOOsh himself – for the umpteenth time: “BUSH: What did Iraq have to do with what? QUESTION: The attacks upon the World Trade Center. BUSH: Nothing…” LOL…it’s so sad to know that so many are still so deceived to actually believe that lie, even when their own beloved Dictator doesn’t believe it.

  
  

   In the wake of the military’s recent order that calls for thousands of inactive Marines and other military members to return to duty; a veteran has expressed the fact that this was an action of “last resort”. What does he mean by “Last Resort”? Well, obviously, this is the last desperate attempt to get people to fight before the Federal order to force people into battle (the draft) makes its dreaded return. Keep your eyes open.

  
  

   Roughly 91% of the Iraqi population opposes the American Occupation (according to one poll), and it appears that a relatively small and unnoticed sect of the Islam faith has joined the call for “jihad”. The Sufis have joined Shia and Sunni rebels in demanding that BOOsh’s imperial forces leave at once!! The longer we stay and destroy, the more enemies we make!!

  
  

   Rums-Failed recently stated that he sees no reason why the soldiers and their families should be angry with him, especially since they are all “proud volunteers”. Hey buddy, does back-door draft mean anything to you at all? Stop-loss? Recalling Inactive Troops? Nothing? Oh, that’s right, you could honestly care less. Of course, our volunteers are proud servants of the military, but it’s when that sacred sacrifice is misused and defiled that they become pissed off…duh!!

  
  

   The Dollar has fell against the Yen. This is just the beginning of our nation’s troubles, because if our currency continues to fall in value to other countries, then many countries will cease investing in the Dollar and redirecting their attention towards the Euro. Enticing huh?

  
  

   It appears that Israel has already VIOLATED the very young cease fire. Hmm, now Hezbollah has been silent, but yet this so-called responsible government has taken the first step in betraying an oath just to “flex” their military “muscle” again? Great role models they are…

  
  

   Hey, want to hear something else “cool”? Hezbollah hasn’t only been keeping their end of the Cease-Fire, but they have also now been spending millions of dollars on rebuilding projects in Lebanon!! That’s right, they are actually helping the Lebanese recover from the war; effectively winning the “hearts and minds” of those people. Hmm, doesn’t that sound familiar? Oh yes, it’s the same plan that has been used by some in our military and other third world governments to deter terrorist recruitment. All you have to do is rebuild homes, schools, provide food and energy, and then create good jobs and TA DA…you suddenly prevent thousands – if not millions – from joining groups for vengeance (terrorist organizations)!! Too bad that the Western World seems t be really slow on really caring for preventing terrorism, and too focused on proving they can kill a large group of people with a handful of weapons.

  
  

   After seeing the recent military drills in South Korea between U.S. and S. Korean troops; the DPRK has stated that the drills – combined with last month’s UN Resolution against them – are tantamount to a ”declaration of war”. Additionally, the DPRK stated that the drills nullified the 1953 Armistice and that they may take a responsive action. A direct quote from the DPRK military: “(The DPRK) reserves the right to undertake a pre-emptive action for self-defense against the enemy at a crucial time it deems necessary to defend itself.” Well, I would have to say that BOOsh is to blame for the resurrection of the term “pre-emptive military action” seeing how he used that excuse to invade Iraq, and probably Iran; although Iraq was in no way shape or form an imminent threat to us. BOOsh and Company seem to be taking daily notes from Nazi policy. Anyway, we must keep our eyes on the DPRK, because even though so many out there are numb to their “wolf-cry boy” warnings; it is imperative that we pay attention and try to calm the impending storm.

  
  

   A former member of Japan’s government was a victim of arson after he criticized Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi for visiting a World War Two shrine that celebrated the Kamikaze Suicide Pilots and the Imperial Conquest of Pre-World War Two Japan. He warned of the evident rise of aggressive nationalism that has come from the Right Wing’s view that Japan did nothing wrong in those early militaristic/imperialistic days. It is so sad to see this happening to a country that was at once pacified by the appalling effects of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but that’s what happens when the nation that is the so-called “greatest superpower ever” has a group of leaders that preach pre-emptive action and Fascist Nationalism on such a wide-scale. We are the role models for all three worlds – by our own making – and we may very well learn to regret that.

  
  

   How do Conservative Judges treat the American Laborer? Well, let’s think about it for a second: a recent case - where flight attendants of an airline corporation suffered a pay cut of up to 40% at the same time that that same company has received a quarterly profit of nearly 200 Million dollars - ended with a Federal decision to restrict the right to strike (protected by federal law and the constitution) just because it might “kill” that company – remember that they made a recent profit – and simply because “things have changed.” Don’t we all just love how our government and it’s corporate masters treat how working class?!! Bravo for America!!

  
  

   A Neo-Con federal judge recently ruled that the government could spy on our media if they have “materials” not regularly “available to the public”. Suppression of a free press is one of the key steps to transitioning a Democratic-Republic to an Authoritarian Dictatorship. The whole point to establishing a “free press” was to give the people an independent investigative source that would monitor the government’s action to deter it from centralizing and curtailing any liberties guaranteed by the constitution. Duh…

  
  

   Did you know that you could become a suspect in a criminal case now based on your relation to an ex-convict? The FBI has now issued a new directive that gives officers that power to call people up that MAY be related to someone who’s DNA was found at the scene of a crime. This is based on the assumption that if you have relatives that commit crimes; you will too. Permission to discriminate based on relation, beautiful.

  
  

   In Colorado, a school teacher was placed on “administrative leave” for “insubordination”. Why? Simply because he put a number of international flags up around the classroom. The school apparently demanded that he remove the flags of China and Mexico, but when he refused – citing the fact that it is a visual aid for students – he was escorted from the school. The school promised they were only complying with a state law that makes that prohibits displaying foreign flags for long periods of time if it “isn’t part of the curriculum”. My view is that this is a suppression of free speech. Why can’t someone either share international cultures or even display their proud heritage as a teacher? This is so ridiculous that it’s not funny. Talk about nationalism at its worst.

  
  

   A “Baptist Church” recently voted a 12 year old boy - that said he wanted Christ to come into his life – out of the congregation. Why would these so-called servants of God do such a thing? Because this boy is bi-racial, and they didn’t want him bringing his “people” (aka “Negroes” in KKK speech) to their establishment. For shame.

  
  

   Speaking of the KKK, a former Klansman was reinstated as a state patroller in Nebraska after an arbitrator ruled that his termination was in violation of the First Amendment. Saying that the KKK is protected by the First Amendment is a violation of the Ninth Amendment:

  
  

  “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

  
  

   Simply because the so-called “First Amendment Right” of the KKK is used to try and “deny” the rights guaranteed by the !4^th and 15^th Amendments of the Constitution. Yes, every American has the right to express themselves freely, but when they hold a position where they can possibly strike fear in the hearts of a select few, that’s simply in violation of the 9^th.

  
  

  Tonight's Conclusion

  
  

   Don't you just love the world today? Well if you do...you need to commit yourself immediately...if not...organize and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!

  
  

   Until next time...

  
  

  TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
