• On the Eve of my next Council Address...

  The World of Pax Americana continues to plummet

   Isn’t it just wonderful that our “objective” media is so balanced and fair that when someone criticizes a member of the government; they will gladly take the time out of their day to make the targeted officials case for them? I love “freedom of the press”, don’t you?

   It is apparent that Jack Abramoff has had more than 450 contacts with the BOOsh Regime, especially involving Repug Chairman Ken Mehlman, and BOOsh’s Deputy Chief of Minions, Karl Rove. I thought that BOOsh said he had never even heard of Abramoff before all of this scandalous behavior was revealed in the media…LIAR!!

   Repugs down south have suggested their own plan for taking care of current crime rate and delinquency problems; sterilize both male and female parents of disobedient children!! Councilman of a town in South Carolina said: “What we've got is a failure in society, whether it's in Mount Pleasant with yuppie parents or whether it's on the East Side with poor crackhead parents, We pick up stray animals and spay them. These mothers need to be spayed if they can't take care of theirs. … Once they have a child and it's running the streets, to let them continue to have children is totally unacceptable.( Deadbeat dads might ought to be sterilized as well).” Awesome representation these Repugs give us, huh?

   A recent scandal – involving sexual solicitation of a 16 year old male intern/page -has led to the end of one Repug Congressman’s term. What’s even more disturbing is the fact that the Repug House Majority Leader, the Repug Speaker of the House and a few other leading Repugs in the House knew about this for quite some time and still did NOTHING!! Majority Leader John Boehner’s actions as reported by the Washington Post and as cited by Crooks and Liars: “The resignation rocked the Capitol, and especially Foley's GOP colleagues, as lawmakers were rushing to adjourn for at least six weeks. House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) told The Washington Post last night that he had learned this spring of inappropriate "contact" between Foley and a 16-year-old page. Boehner said he then told House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.). Boehner later contacted The Post and said he could not remember whether he talked to Hastert.” Simply reprehensible.

   I may not be too happy with her Senatorial performance in the past six years, but Mrs. Clinton made one hell of a good point – in defense of her husband – when she said that if President Clinton had been shown the “bin-Laden Determined to Attack within the U.S.” briefing; he undoubtedly would’ve taken it MORE SERIOUSLY!! Right on!!

   It has truthfully been confirmed that Clinton did do all that he could to respond to Al-Qaeda’s attacks on our country. He responded in 1998 (to the attack on our African Embassies), and was accused of wagging the dog, and then didn’t know that Bin-Laden’s followers were responsible for the attack on the Cole until December of 2000. His reasoning for not responding then was that he didn’t want to involve our country in a new war as a new Administration was coming into office less than a month later. However, BOOsh was then addressed on this issue (the Cole response), how did he respond? He stated he didn’t retaliate because he didn’t want to “miss target and hit rubble”, and when he was asked about punishing the Taliban – to follow up on a Clinton Administration threat that they would be punished if we were attacked by al-Qaeda again while they resided in Afghanistan – and BOOsh’s response was that he didn’t punish them because he was “unaware of that threat”. What incompetence!!

   Despite BOOsh’s attempts to scapegoat the Pakistani government for their inept performance in capturing bin-Laden and ending this “war to terrorize” in due time; Pakistan has revealed that first off, they were bullied to join the “war”, and have actually released a number of al-Qaeda operatives to our CIA despite accusations that they haven’t “done enough”. What a way to make allies!!

   My oh my, have I just come across a great jackpot of information or not?!! In response to President Clinton’s claims regarding the fight against terrorism on Fox, Keith Olbermann decided to investigate the matter, here is what is investigation concluded (with video and other documented proof):

   1) Clinton’s National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, contacted BOOsh’s team in late 2000 to tell them of the urgency to go after al-Qaeda, BOOsh did nothing.

   2) In Early 2001, during the transition of administrations, Clinton’s people sent BOOsh’s Regime a detailed plan of how to deal with al-Qaeda, this is in contrast to Condoleezza Rice’s statements that they : ”were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al Qaeda.” Furthermore, Clinton’s - Cabinet Level – Counter-terrorism Czar Richard Clarke (who took part in delivering the plans to deal with Al-Qaeda, along with a memo of his in January 2001 that labeled al-Qaeda as our greatest threat) was demoted by Rice to a “deputy level” position. Clarke’s first meeting with the deputies was in April of 2001, that was with (then) Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz who insisted that Iraq – not al-Qaeda – was the worst terrorist threat to our country!! By Mid-July 2001, BOOsh’s deputies came up with a plan to deal with al-Qaeda, identical to Clinton’s!! Then, the next month, ALL of BOOsh’s people went on vacation!! The next meeting on al-Qaeda (with the principals) wasn’t until September 4^th, 2001!!

   3) In January of 2001, the CIA conclusively stated the al-Qaeda had attacked the USS Cole in October 2000. That was eight days after Clinton’s plans were sent to BOOsh on how to retaliate against al-Qaeda and the Taliban if it were revealed that Bin-Laden was behind the Cole Bombing!! In the Spring of 2001, Ari Fleischer took the question from a member of the press, who asked about the Administration’s thoughts on the Taliban’s proposal to hand Bin-Laden over to our government, Fleischer just responded by saying he’d get back to the public on that; there is NO record of any discussion within BOOsh’s Regime on the matter, following that press briefing.

   4) Then there is the MOST DAMNING portion of this expose: The August 6^th, 2001 Briefing that revealed Bin-Laden’s intent to use planes in a terrorist attack within our country, BOOsh did nothing except fish. What were the Regime’s comments on the issue?

   Rice: “I don’t think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile - a hijacked airplane as a missile.”,

   Lord Cheney: “[There] wasn’t any way then we could have anticipated what was about to happen, of course, on 9/11.” ,

   and the Dictator: “They struck in a way that was unimaginable.”, what do the facts say to the contrary?

   There have been a number of events over the past decade and a half that sent clear warnings of exactly how 9/11 would transpire; the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center.

   In 1994, the French thwarted a terrorist plot to crash a PLANE into the Eiffel Tower.

   In 1995, the Philippines discovered a terrorist plot to CRASH PLANES into the PENTAGON and THE WTC!!

   In 1999, a released federal study underlined a terrorist plot to crash a plane or two into the Pentagon.

   In 2001, during a testimony for the Embassy Bombing trial, it was unveiled to the government that Bin-Laden sent agents to our country to learn how to fly planes; the FBI learned that Moussaoui (the so-called 20^th Hijacker) was interested in flying jumbo planes, and would later warn that he was the kind of person that could “fly something into the WTC,” Senator Dianne Feinstein requested a meeting with Lord Cheney to discuss more aggressive counter-terror efforts on the day before 9/11, Cheney’s response was that he needed 6 MONTHS TO PREPARE FOR SUCH A MEETING, that same day, the NSA listened in on a communication between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia which indicated that 9/11 was “zero hour.” That Communication was translated into English the day AFTER the attacks!! Still feel safe with BOOsh and his Regime in control of our REAL “war on terror”? I sure in hell don’t!!

   Repugs are trying to claim that Democrats refused to work with them on the Detainee bill, but they are simply ignoring the fact that their establishment in Congress shot down 15 proposed Democratic Amendments to that bill. Of course, our so-called objective media does a hell of a job in pointing out these facts…wait, no they didn’t, I’m sorry.

   BOOsh’s Legal Advisor of the Fourth Reich (because he is NOT the lawyer of the American People) has warned that the entire judiciary should stay away from issuing rulings that could disrupt BOOsh’s “terror” policies. He cited “past example of the judiciary staying clear of Commander in Chief’s duty during wartime” as a reason for the judges across the country to obey the wishes of the Dictator. I really condemn any and all members of the Senate that voted to confirm and/or neglected to filibuster of Gonzales’ appointment!!

   Congress recently passed BOOsh’s detainee bill that will permit him to ignore Habeas Corpus, detain even Americans indefinitely without obeying the Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments of the Constitution. It permits the creation of Military Tribunals to further disobey the sixth amendment of the Constitution, by not holding PUBLIC CRIMINAL TRIALS. In doing this, the Repugs (and a few DINOs) have disobeyed the NINTH Amendment of the Constitution which states that no powers or rights that are listed within the constitution can be used to suppress other rights or powers, period! A Congress and Judiciary that are controlled by the same party as the Dictator, usually becomes the lap-dog for that same dictatorship.

   There are many reasons as to why the imperial conquest in Iraq is going so badly, but one of the biggest reasons is the person that BOOsh has allowed to control the effort; Dumb-ass Rums-failed!! It has been revealed – by a General – that Rummy once threatened a member of his staff for even considering a plan for “post-war Iraq”. I guess all of these morons either didn’t care or just thought the crisis would fix itself. Bad policy…

   Could it be so that our military is so desperate for new recruits that some recruiters will even consider forging parental signatures for underage recruits? It seems so. One recruiter has admitted to doing so, and I couldn’t be more disappointed. What does that say for thousands of other underage recruits? Parents everywhere should beware – not paranoid – but very aware.

   For those of you that may have the illusion that “Stop-loss” has died down, guess again. The Pentagon recently informed about 4,000 soldiers that they must stay in battle for a spell longer. As a Senator once said: “The Price of Empire is America’s Soul.”

   It’s amazing how stuff turns out sometimes; it has been revealed – in his own words – that Repug House Majority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) still believes that Saddam had ties – in one way or another – to 9/11. Only one party control of all three branches could lead to such clear incompetence!!

   It has been reported that – after a briefing on the fact that insurgent attacks on our forces average every 15 minutes – BOOsh has stated his clear intent to never withdraw from Iraq, even if his Dog and wife are the only two that support him. As Jim Wallis says in “God’s Politics”, bad theology makes bad foreign policy!!

   The Boston Globe has reported that the Iraq War costs 2 Billion dollars a week, as a result of a number of factors; the surge of insurgent attacks in both Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the construction of “semi-permanent” bases in both countries. Pax Americana (Peace through American Rule, American Empire) at its best.

   BOOsh’s Regime has censored a report that indicates global warming is causing our storms to become more and more powerful. Why? Well, it is simple. First off, BOOsh doesn’t care about pollution, and would rather treat his corporate, polluting special interests than take action to preserve the beautiful planet that GOD has blessed us with. Second of all, it just shows that Fundamentalists, and the Repugs are full of s**t!! 

  Tonight's Conclusion

   The Greatest President our Country has ever had (FDR), once said: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” While the worst occupant of that office (BOOsh) once said: “The only thing we have is fear.” Kind of explains their differences in handling Domestic and Foreign Policy.

   By the way, I was watching the debate between Mike Dewine and Sherrod Brown for Ohio's Senate Race, and Dewine - the Repug incumbent - openly stated that the Iraq War wasn't "about the Iraqi people, it is about us." A clear and very open endorsement of American Empire/Pax Americana.

   Now, I'm off to get some rest for the big day tomorrow...

  TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
