  • 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 4th, 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 6th, 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 20th 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

September 24, 2006

  • Don't just join a group or a movement, START ONE!!

    "We are the ones we have been waiting for"

     It has taken place. The movement of urging City Council – here in Newark – to demand that our Congressmen (of Ohio’s 12th and 18th Districts) immediately support and/or co-sponsor H.Res.635 is underway. On September 18th, 2006. I stood before Council and gave the following speech (this is in original context, I did do some minor grammatical editing just before I spoke.):

    "Members of Council,

     My reasoning for being here is to urge your consideration, drafting and passage of a resolution that demands the Congressmen of the 12th and 18th Districts to co-sponsor H.Res. 635. Which says the following:

     

    Creating a select committee to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, retaliating against critics, and to make recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment.”

     

     I recently sent you a letter that requested the passage of this resolution in the model of Newfane, Vermont’s Town Hall resolution that passed in late 2005, which encouraged six other town halls in Vermont alone to pass similar resolution leading to Congressmen Bernie Sanders – the only independent in Congress – to sign on as a co-sponsor to this resolution.

     

     Similar resolutions have been passed at the local level of government in California, New York, North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. In addition to this are the resolutions under consideration in Illinois and Pennsylvania, alongside State Level pending resolutions in California, Illinois and Vermont.

     

     As I did in my letter, I will repeat here tonight a reminder of the fact that Impeachment – an act that has only been successful twice in the past – is merely an indictment and is NOT a punishment. The resolution that I’m asking you to demand our Congressmen support isn’t even for impeachment – yet. It creates a committee that will investigate Bush’s war policies and opens the door for impeachment. In effect, it turns a two step process into a three step process.

     

     I’ll remind you that I am not in this alone, nor is this an attack against one party. I sent you a copy of a letter that I sent to DNC Chairman Howard Dean that which warned that if the Democratic Party doesn’t openly endorse this congressional resolution, then they will no longer receive money from me. I plan on sending a similar letter to the state Democratic Party as well. Furthermore, as a club member of the local party, I will renounce my official membership to that party if they do not endorse this in an ample amount of time.

     

     Why is this so important that I would stop supporting every level of the Democratic Party should they fail to act now? Because defending this Democratic-Republic from corruption and tyranny shouldn’t take a backseat to a Politician’s or Party’s selfish quest for power or more of it. If winning elections is more important than defending democracy when it matters – even if the odds are stacked against you – then that individual or party isn’t deserving of the power they seek.

     

     Remembering that you are – as elected members of local, state or federal government – servants of the people and as defenders of the United States Constitution; I implore you to act now. Our Constitution is in crisis and it is vital that you act now.

     

     What does the Constitution say about impeachment? In Article II, Section 4, it reads: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

     

     I have researched – and continue to research – the laundry list of impeachable offenses that have been committed by this administration. With at least 13 central subjects to focus on, I have dozens of resources that affirm my position. This includes over 750 broken laws, violations of at least 9 Constitutional Amendments, Treason, Bribery, and many other unconstitutional actions. There is no doubt that George Bush qualifies for impeachment.

     

     Reading the history books, you will find that the two presidents that have been impeached have seen his action based on weak cases. Why were they impeached? President Andrew Johnson was impeached in the late 1800s for firing a member of his cabinet. Why’s this an impeachable offense? Because it was a violation of a law that the Republican controlled congress passed – overriding a veto – that restricted the president from terminating a member of his own cabinet. The Supreme Court would later rule that law unconstitutional because the Executive Branch works for the president, and the chief executive officer doesn’t need the consent of the senate to fire a member of cabinet, just to appoint one.

     

     President Clinton was impeached for more serious charges with regards to perjury, abuse of power and obstruction of justice, but those were centered on his extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky along with all his actions to cover those actions up. Contrary to what you may or may not believe, Clinton was punished, paying finds, accepting the consequences through disbarment and relinquishing his right to serve on the Supreme Court, all after he later confessed to having deceived the public regarding that matter.

     

     If action is not taken now, then it will set a precedent for all future occupants in government that they can disregard the constitution, international and American law and get away with it. Is that what this country was created for? I realize that we live in a city and county that leans Republican. However, your duty to protect the constitution from the rise of tyranny supersedes the duty to do the bidding of the public, because the very foundation of all our rights is within that 230 year old document. It is the sacred Holy Grail of this great land, and even of the movement of democracy throughout the world.

     

     As a proud American, I see the desecration – through certain policies – of our constitution as sacrilegious, and disgraceful. I pledge to be here every time this Council convenes – in defense of this cause, with the necessary information – until either this resolution has passed, Congress has passed H.Res.635 or until it is clear that Bush’s tenure in office will be at an end without any action taken.

     

     Thank you."

     Afterwards, I heard some responses from City Council Members:

     Councilwoman At-Large Irene Kennedy (D): She expressed her belief that the local government isn’t the proper arena for this debate, and that I should start a “citizen’s petition”.

     Councilman At-Large David Rhodes (R): Noted that he completely agreed with Kennedy.

     Councilman At-Large Bob Diebold (R): Boldly stated that neither party had the answers and that only the people do. Agreed with the previous two Council Members. He then told me – privately – that my movement was cool, and even encouraged me to keep returning with follow-ups.

     7th Ward Councilman Bill Rauch (D): He told the press that he agreed with Rhodes and company, and expressed support for a possible new petition. He stated in council that he wasn’t too impressed with the previous two impeachments, but that the current Repug controlled government must make Warren G. Harding proud.

     Council President Marc Guthrie (D): I’m so happy that I know him personally. He told me that he greatly admired my “courage and tenacity” in this movement and that I remind him of himself when he was my age. I have begun to see this man as my mentor, it is so easy to look up to him, because he is so honest and right to the point. I’ll always have incredible respect for this man.

     I was very disappointed that my representative in Council – Democrat Shirley Stare – who remained silent on this issue. But, that’s why October 2nd will be so important. It will be the second of many speeches to come!! Down with BOOsh!!

     Repugs recently began slinging mud in Clinton’s direction claiming that he was to blame – yet again – for 9/11. On Fox News, Clinton slung the mud right back at them. He told them how it is when he insisted that he tried his damnedest to capture or kill bin-Laden, despite right wing accusations of “wagging the dog” and an apparent “obsession with bin Laden”. He then wanted to know why BOOsh has treated Afghanistan as if it’s 1/7th as important as Iraq in the “war to terrorize”, and why BOOsh has taken more time to get Bin Laden despite the fact that he has had more chances and support in his pursuit. You go Clinton!!!

     Did you know that some high profile Repugs even admit that their party broke the law in disenfranchising Democratic Voters, hell, they even think it’s funny!! Let’s all join in on their joy and laughter!!! Down with Democracy!!

     I want to know why there are those out there that would want to rip our brave men and women off. Why would anyone want to scam a soldier or the family member of one into getting a loan that is going to charge them interest that will bankrupt them? Furthermore, why are some Repugs so reluctant to stop it?!! What injustice for the people that sacrifice so the rest of us won’t have to.

     Does it creep anyone else out that there are so-called religious groups that train children and young teens to live by BOOsh’s example and even go as far as sometimes praying BEFORE A CUT-OUT cardboard IMAGE OF HIM?!!! Sure does here…

     If you think that Repugs stand strong for religion, then you have it dead wrong. How come, the Repug ran IRS has punished churches when they speak out against war, but when it comes to other so-called religious groups that openly and actively mobilize to get certain politicians elected; they receive no citation or phone call from that same government entity? Why? It’s because Repugs don’t care for Democracy, the Republic, or Religious Freedom!! That’s why they don’t like the separation of church and state, because the simply want a Theocratic Government that tells us what religion to practice.

     BTW, if some out there would be so naïve to believe that it would follow Jesus Christ, then you have another thing coming. Since when did Christ support the Death Penalty, War, Torture, “Shoot First Laws”, suppression of freedoms, tax breaks for the rich, and refusing the inherent right of accessibility to healthcare for ALL AMERICANS? There are so many more issues to note here, but the Repugs benefit more from the APOSTATE church, not the actual movement that obeys the commands of Jesus Christ.

     Did I ever mention that the Repug ran FCC has been censoring reports that could badly damage the image of our monopolized media? Well, it has. Isn’t it so odd how group of thugs could disrespect and disregard all of these Constitutional Amendments without recourse? America is truly an awesome nation.

     Also in a move to suppress the equal rights of the underprivileged, the Repug controlled House recently passed a bill to force voters to show an ID at the polls. This is despite the fact that there are many voters out there that could lose their IDs, and not have access – at that time – to any other proof of identification. Just another event that proves their true hatred for Democracy.

     According to a retired General, military operations in Iran have been underway for a year and a half!! He has cited evidence that has been given to him from a number of sources and has even pointed towards the similarities to the escalated military operations in Iraq in 2002 (without Congressional approval). War – officially – is right around the corner as it seems. (I’m really hoping I’m wrong)

     What a shame this Congress has become… I mean, when there are leaders an either side of any of the two houses that refuse to identify any interrogation methods that might qualify as tortuous because it could help the enemy train in defense of it, then this parliamentary body has truly lost its way. We MUST save the Republic!!

     According to a recently released report, our Prisons are unable to prevent the recruitment of inmates for terrorist organizations! Due to our overpopulated system, combined with a lack of qualified Muslim chaplains, the system has to rely on Muslim volunteers to come in and counsel the inmates when they request it. The result is that a large number of these volunteers are distributing deceitful and radical versions of the Quran, and leading a lot of inmates to have sentiments of hatred towards fellow Americans and other non-Muslims. Beautiful!!

     One Canadian man recently fell victim to BOOsh’s policies of CIA detainee renditions. He was captured in New York – en route from a trip in Tunisia to his home in Canada – and taken – in one of our government planes – to the Mideast, and eventually sent to Syria where he was detained for close to a year and beaten regularly with a metal cable until Bashar Assad’s Government concluded that he had no terrorist ties and released him. This is undoubtedly a WAR CRIME, and BOOsh MUST BE PUNISHED!!

     An employee of Halliburton that was injured in a convoy attack was actually offered the Defense of Freedom medal on the condition that he relinquish his right to sue to corporation that he works for. What a great American Corporate Entity to represent us in our Global Empire!! Screwing us over by curtailing our rights, one case at a time…

     Dumb-ass Rums-failed has claimed that if we had kept Saddam in power to this date, then he’d be even richer from the petrol sales!! Oh my Gosh!! He’d have the ability to get rich of off selling oil!! He’d gouge our gas prices!! Wait, hasn’t that happened ANYWAYS since Saddam was deposed?!! Oh yes, because the production of oil has been cut, therefore causing an increase in the price of oil!! Repug really should give up on their gas price rhetoric right now, it’s becoming too easy to connect the dots (relating to the dropping gas prices and their election hopes.) Stop while you’re ahead…

     Following suit of other countries that seem to be headed in the same direction; Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s son has proposed that his country join the nuclear club!! That’s all we need, another dictatorial regime with Nuclear weapons, but with all of BOOsh’s rhetoric and lack of respect for Cold War-era anti-nuclear treaties, many third world countries are bound to go back on their word to stay away from enriching uranium, using plutonium or, the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Great job Mr. Ass-face!!

    Tonight's Conclusion

     As I started this out, don't wait for a movement to catch your eye before you jump in. Hit the ground running with your own movement. We have never been a nation of followers, we are a nation of leaders, take advantage of the Democratic-Republic and become the wind-changer, become the radical change that you long for, be that inspirational leader that you have been looking for!! Start as soon as you finish reading this if you can...

     Just as Howard Dean once said during the 2004 Campaign "You/we HAVE THE POWER!!" Use it!!

    TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

  • A Threat to International Security

    Please Somebody WAKE ME UP!!! (From this Nightmare)

     According to one report, greenhouse gases are rising at a faster rate than previously expected. Could this be a SERIOUS SIGN that our government needs to seriously consider GLOBAL WARMING as a SERIOUS (third time of using that word) THREAT?!! I think so!

     Did you know that Repugs in Congress once screamed their heads off and threw a fit about alleged long term ties between Halliburton and President Lyndon Johnson during the Vietnam War? Now, about 40 years later, they hypocritically criticize our guys for coming out against Lord Cheney’s ties with the same Corporation…shame.

     In comments recently made on his MSNBC show “Hardball”, Chris Matthews made the implication that our enemies around the world would somehow smile upon a Democratic takeover in Congress. He implied this when he said that they would look at such an event as a mandate against BOOsh’s war policies …. Or a mandate in favor of the enemy. Liberal Media?

     I swear I almost fell out of my seat during lunch break at work this past week when I read that Bob Ney is going to plead GUILTY to the charges of corruption in relation to Jack Abramoff. It is truly an incredible day. However, it is tragic as well. I do hope that Ney learns from this and repents of his actions, which would truly be the best first step to recovery that he could take.

     A recent study - which concluded that corporate monopolies of local news circuits diminishes the availability of trustworthy news – was ordered destroyed by BOOsh appointed leaders of the Federal Communications Commission…suppression of the First Amendment at its best!!

     Repug corruption in Congress have even disgusted fellow conservatives so much that they have come out in support of a GOP overthrow in November…that’s right, you heard me, Conservatives want conservatives OUT OF OFFICE!!

     More suppression of the First Amendment...BOOsh’s Imperial Military has been holding an Associated Press photographer in an Iraqi Prison with no official charges. To be exact, this is also ignoring the Sixth and Seventh Amendments as well as the Geneva Conventions…IMPEACH!!!

     The Pakistani Government – one of BOOsh’s key allies in his “War to Terrorize” – has announced that they will be backing down against the Taliban because of a peace agreement, in addition to stating that Bin Laden will not be captured by their government as long as he acts like a “peaceful citizen”!! So, we are not allowed to send our troops into Pakistan to get the Taliban and Bin laden, and Pakistan won’t help us get neither…How did BOOsh once define a nation as being an enemy of the US in this “war”? Why did we invade Afghanistan again? It is well known that the Afghan Insurgency uses Pakistan as a base, but now we just have to wait for them to attack from that country?!! Some ally…

     Never forget the fact that about 3 months prior to 9/11, the BOOsh Regime didn’t want to hear anything about terrorism. They preferred vacations and petty disputes over ANWR and Tax Cuts to dealing with our greatest threat before the worst attack our nation had ever seen from Terrorists!! ABC is lying to you, Clinton didn’t drop the ball, BOOsh was given the ball and he decided to pop it instead of put it in play.

     Along with ABCs deceitful miniseries called the “Path to 9/11”, Scholastic distributed “Guides” for High School teachers to give to their students to encourage them to watch the series and “discuss” what they have seen. It misleads students to think that Clinton is solely to blame for 9/11, that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and possessed WMDs (both are contrary to the truth) prior to the war and that the 2003 Invasion was justified, it leads students to believe that Afghanistan has been a success despite reports of the rising insurgency and violence that has erupted as a result of BOOsh’s incompetent use of our military and winning the peace in that country (this also includes the fact that BOOsh’s Regime failed to destroy Afghanistan’s Narcotic Problem, effectively making it a powerful Narco-State). Furthermore, it attempts to convince viewers that the media – in observing their First Amendment right to free speech and free press – has become a hindrance to the “war to terrorize”. This is nothing less than an attempt to brainwash our youth and create a new generation of BOOshites!!

     Hell, do you remember when the Right Wing Media attacked the miniseries regarding Ronald Reagan in 2003 because of its falsehoods? Where the hell is the coverage regarding the outcry against the falsehoods of this new crap pile?!!

     Are you into solving puzzles? Well, solve this one for me if you can: 44 - or most of the - Repugs (and one DINO) voted against a measure in the Senate that would increase the Department of Defenses funding in fighting the trade of narcotics in Afghanistan. If you read up on this subject, you’ll find out some very important facts regarding this, warlords now control most of Afghanistan, the Taliban has – in the past – and still profits from the trade of illicit drugs from these warlords. Production of narcotics has jumped 50 percent in the past year alone!! All of this is due to BOOsh’s failure to destroy the drug infrastructure before it became a problem. Why? Mainly because it was a coalition of these Afghan Warlords that helped overthrow the Taliban. Beautiful… Read “State of War”…you really learn a lot about this matter…

     Conservative Radio Host Michael Savage stated that instead of teaching our children how to play sports, we should “militarize” them instead (to respond to the training of Arab kids in using AK-47s). Anyone else view this as being a sick idea? Who wants an army of 14, 13, 10, 8 year olds?!!

     BOOsh’s recent admission to violating international law with the rendition of detainees (around 14,000 to estimate) between various secret CIA prisons and torture-states has prompted the European Union to demand that the location of these prisons be revealed!! BOOsh’s lack of respect for the law (both American and International) is a grave threat to our relations with our nations, especially with the EU. Nice job, ass-mite!!

     As a result of the rising insurgency in Afghanistan; Darth Cheney has stated that we will be in that conflict for a long time. Of course, this is what they said about Iraq, because they have NO plan for winning the peace and getting our troops home, that’s what happens when you allow the Department of Defense to develop it’s own foreign policy while avoiding any role by the State Department in that field. (Remember that the State Department’s number one role is Foreign Policy, diplomacy)

     In the aftermath of 9/11, during that period of time when a large portion of the nation was paranoid towards all citizens of Arab descent, several people were arrested with reasons related to their ethnicity. Hell, the police – in some cases – actually arrested these people on false charges. It is just so sad to see how one event can lead to the destruction of so many liberties.

     In an act to defend America, the Syrian government thwarted an attempted terrorist attack against our embassy recently. Although the BOOsh Regime “thanked” the Syrians for their protection, they concluded addressing the matter by claiming that it didn’t improve our relations with Syria much….WTF?! How are we to gain allies with that kind of attitude? We’ll align with terrorist sympathizers in Pakistan but not with Syria? Hypocrisy…

     In other “fronts of the terror war”, the International Atomic Energy Agency recently declared the Repugs claims against Iran as “outrageous and dishonest”. Hmm, so, they are at it again? According to their report, the BOOsh Regime and their allies in Congress have been misleading the public regarding the their accusations that Iran has been enriching uranium to make WMDs. This must be an indictment of the Repug corruption in our government, BOOsh must be impeached…NOW!!!

     As I have mentioned on this site before, BOOsh is seeking to overturn the War Crimes Act of 1996 (passed by a Repug controlled Congress, BTW). What is his justification? The law and Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions are “too vague”. Bulls**t!! How come whenever it comes to obeying the law or acknowledging important briefings…they are too vague? Incompetence and corruption…plain and simple. Furthermore, BOOsh seemed angry as hell that Colin Powell was criticizing his policies. BOOsh wants to “protect” his cronies from prosecution for war crimes, but doesn’t seem to care that allowing such a thing won’t only jeopardize our image in the world, but would also endanger our own citizens abroad as well as our soldiers….of course, that’s one thing you can expect for the far right wing…they never think long term. It’s a lack of critical thought and historical perspective. Nothing could be more dangerous to our nation’s survival.

     Matt Lauer recently interviewed the Dictator and inquired about his CIA Secret Prisons in Europe and techniques. In response, BOOsh expressed his “confusion” as to why the prisons aren’t within the law, and would later express that he won’t discuss the detail of exactly what techniques are utilized to extract information from detainees in the secret prisons. Let me just say this, if a prison or any facility has to remain secret, then they aren’t only hiding stuff from the “enemy”. Something illegal is transpiring here, and BOOsh (along with his cronies) MUST be punished!!

     If you think that BOOsh and company like our First Amendment, then take a trip down memory lane to the week that followed 9/11 when a number of journalists were fired for writing/expressing opinions that BOOsh’s incompetence was to blame for the attacks. A quote from then-BOOsh Propaganda Secretary Ari Fleischer:

    There are reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do, and that this is not a time for remarks like that. It never is.”

     As well as then Attorney General John Ashcroft: “We need honest, reasoned debate not fear mongering. To those who pit Americans against immigrants and citizens against non-citizens, to those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enemies, and pause to America's friends. They encourage people of goodwill to remain silent in the face of evil.

     Isn’t awesome to have great patriots like these in our executive branch?!!

     The Senate has released a report that merely affirms what the CIA said last fall; there was NO LINK between Saddam and Al-Qaeda!! BOOsh lied to Congress, to the world…to his own people…plain and simple.

     Furthermore, the Senate also affirmed that Saddam saw al-Qaeda as a threat to his power, and would’ve taken “extreme steps” to ally with them against our country. This report underlines the facts that not did former CIA Director George Tenet usually “change” his position on Iraq-Terrorist ties in the lead up to war at the request of the Regime, but BOOsh’s people also ignored certain declassified reports that debunked their accusations of such ties (even one that came out the same day as BOOsh’s October 7th, 2002 speech to Congress regarding the “ties”). Repugs are claiming that these reports are old news and in no way can be used as proof that BOOsh purposely misled us. Here’s my stance on this, if BOOsh isn’t guilty of purposely misleading us, then he IS guilty for purposely ignoring the incompetence of his Regime Cronies so that his policies couldn’t be discredited. He purposely fought tooth and nail for Rums-failed to stay on board despite all the evidence of his failures (coupled with the evidence of the fact that Rums-failed often ignored BOOsh’s demands to institute his own foreign policy – read “State of War”). Willful Ignorance can be just as dangerous as deceit, when you are the leader of a nation.

     Meanwhile, Repugs in Congress continue to distort the facts – and ignore the reports – while asserting that our “enemies” in Iraq are the “same people that attacked” on 9/11. They also continue to question our patriotism and claim that those opposed to Repug policies in this “war to terrorize” are guilty of wanting us to lose this war. Inexcusable. It should be known that a “war on terror” should be fought like the “war on poverty”, did President Lyndon B. Johnson start bombing our poorest after declaring that war? No, he attacked it with policies that were aimed at decreasing joblessness, hunger, and homelessness. A “war on terror” should be conducted as a “part two” of the “war on poverty”, but aimed at decreasing poverty in the third world, condemning – and not aligning with dictators (like in Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.), condemning the acts of terror by both the terrorist groups and the Israeli government, and truly supporting a two state solution to the middle east crisis. That, not bombs, will defeat terror!!

     In a move that isn't likely to ease tensions in the Orient – not – a former government official of Japan has voiced his strong opinion that the Japanese should consider going nuclear after examining the surrounding nuclear powers in the region…that’s all we’d need…he even cited the possibility that his country and the US might not always be allies as being justification for such a movement…talk about paranoia.

     Four Iraq War veterans and one supporter were arrested at the Pentagon on September 11th, 2006 while protesting the use of Depleted Uranium by our military. All four of the veterans are victims of this horrible weapon and were silenced because of this Regime’s hatred of our Constitutional Rights…how can you even think about blocking the voice of those that have sacrificed themselves for this country? It’s truly sickening!!

     It appears that many of our allies – including South Korea – are begging the US to not impose new sanctions on the DPRK, for fear of rising tensions on that peninsula. Hey, I’d take the South Koreans word for it, if sanctions would be bad, then – for the love of God – DON’T DO IT!! To the DPRK, sanctions equal “act of war”…remember that.

     Iran’s President has called for a “purge” of Liberal and Secular teachers in their universities. I movement against Liberalism and Secularism….hmmm…sounds like something right out of the Neo-Conservatives/Fundamentalists playbook!!

     Want to talk about suppression of a free press? How about the BOOsh Regime using our tax dollars to pay news outlets to spread propaganda against foreign governments? If we are to uphold the inherent right of all societies to a free press, then we must NOT take part in any act that will lead to actively bribing the media of ANY COUNTRY to deceive their viewing public regarding any government!!

    Tonight's Conclusion

     Too bad this isn't just a bad dream I could be woke up from huh? (Unless there is true progressive reform in November)

     Until next time...

    TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

September 4, 2006

  • Enjoying the Ride on the BOOsh Mobile? How About the Repug Rollercoaster?

    End the madness now!!!

     The labor force is under attack by the richest among us. Wages are on the decline and - in fact – have the lowest share of the GDP since the 1940s!! Meanwhile, the corporate profit and salaries of those that run those corporate bodies have an enormous share of the total Gross Domestic Product. When BOOsh and company says that our economy is improving, they are actually saying that the benefits of the economy are shifting further away from their enemies (the laborer) and into the hands of the rich and powerful. Bye bye, Democracy….hello Plutocracy!!

     It is very evident that the right wing doesn’t care for the people that even work for them. Right Wing columnists recently launched a barrage of character attacks on the recently released hostages from FOX News. Why? Simply because these guys seem to have pro-Islam/Palestinian viewpoints and are calling for the western world to be more open to the suffering of those people. Simply because they didn’t come out demanding the death of their captors…if anything, these men seemed to be forgiving of those that trespassed against them; isn’t that what CHRIST demands of us?

     Repugs in the Senate have been doing everything they can to prevent legislation that would make our government more accountable from even reaching debate. It’s just so obvious that these people don’t serve the people who elect them, because they merely serve their own selfish quest for power and more of it.

     It is so shameful to know that BOOsh and his cabal have been trying to cover up the fact that they were pointing fingers everywhere but at themselves last year when the were demanding that no one take part in “finger-pointing”. Repugs in the media are doing their best to deceive Americans into forgetting/overlooking the BOOsh Regimes’ crimes of trying to pass the buck to State and Local officials for the obvious Federal failures in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Then again, it’s never the fault of the federal government when two factors come into play: 1) Repugs control it, 2) The Poor are in need…

     Ann Coulter has an evil heart, so evil in fact that she has and continues to repeatedly call for the assassination of those that she disagrees with. From the assassination of President Clinton, to the “fragging” of John Murtha, the poisoning of Supreme Court Associate Justice Paul Stevens, and now to the murder of Lincoln Chaffee. This woman needs some serious help. The very fact that the media gives her so much airtime is PROOF enough that there IS NO LIBERAL MEDIA…In America (Because of the fact that only an independent media with an “open mind” could be liberal by definition)!!

     As BOOsh pulls out all stops to help his Repug allies keep control of Congress keep this in mind: whether or not you like him and what his policies are, you ARE PAYING FOR HIS campaigning!! Remember that our taxes pay for Air Force One fuel, as well as for the gas that is put in his motorcade. Isn’t it great to know that we are all doing our part to help Repugs stay in power?!!

     Defense Contractor Corporations have seen doubling profits since the “War to Terrorize” began. Compared to the profits of other corporate organizations that have no war profits, it’s no wonder that people get in the war profiteering business. Pathetic, but true. Christ said it best in Second Timothy: “For the Love of Money is the Root of All Evil”.

     To criticize BOOsh’s military policies is to “appease” to the “terrorists” the same way Repugs appeased the Nazis in the 1930s; at least that’s what War Secretary Rums-failed believes. He - along with the rest of the BOOsh crew - claims that we face a “new type of fascism” with obviously no clue as to what the definition of that term is, but yet he – like all sinners – is ignoring his own fascist rhetoric by pointing his fingers to others. One big step of in the march towards establishing a fascist state is to demonize all critics as Unpatriotic and immoral…don’t believe me, research it yourself!!

     There is a disgusting attempt by the Right Wing Media to blame Clinton and other Democrats for allowing 9/11 to happen, although Repugs did their part in preventing Clinton from fighting terror, along with the fact that Repugs themselves have even debunked this ignorant claim. The so-called “wall” that prevented information sharing between intelligence officials reportedly was created throughout the Cold War’s duration, escalated during Reagan’s tenure and has even been used by BOOsh’s Regime!! BOOsh and company can always be trusted to pass the buck…

     It seems that – according to one report – the fight against terrorism has reached “pre-911 levels”. But I thought that the “pre-911” mindset was what led to 9/11 in the first place? Of course, if you haven’t figured it out by now; this was never about fighting terror; it’s always been about war profits and retaining/gaining power!!

     The most influential Shiite religious leader has recently declared that his nation is too close to an all out civil war to prevent it now. This has been made inevitable by BOOsh’s incompetence and dishonest methods of executing military action and other foreign policy matters. Look what we have to look forward to if Repugs retain control of Congress or the White House in the coming years. Of course, just because BOOsh claims to be Repug doesn’t mean that all of them will be like him, but their unwillingness to speak out against him or to demand action against him is enough proof that they don’t care anymore about international and American laws than he does!!

     If you are in the military, and lead an ambush that slaughters dozens of civilians (including women and children) and claim that you were under attack, you can be recommended for a medal in BOOsh’s military!! Awesome eh?!!

     As BOOsh attempts to use the Iraq War’s Insurgency combined with the supposed ties it has to Iran to get support for action against Iran; many are actually insisting that Iran has more to benefit from a stable Iraq and would therefore be stupid to try and fund the failure of this new government. To be honest, many of those that are in the insurgency or that support it actually oppose Iran as much as they oppose the Empire that occupies them. Iran has very strong ties with the people that now have control over the new Iraq puppet government, and actually funds them. Why would Iran want to depose a group that they would greatly benefit from? Much like the argument that Christ once made when his opponents accused him of working for Satan; “a house divided can not stand”, was that not his response? Just makes no sense to think that Iran would want the Shiite-ruled Iraq to fall, what would they have to benefit from that?

     It is so depressing to see Repugs still using the refuted “evidence” of WMDs during debates and campaigns these days. Then again, since it took lies to start this war, it will take lies to keep it going…at least in the eyes of the cowardly bastards that started it.

     As a result of growing US Imperialism and Aggression in foreign policy, many are uniting against us. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez visited Syrian President Bashar Assad this past week to show unity against the U.S. Empire. Venezuela has built an alliance with Syria and Iran, and are in the process of signing treaties to solidify this new alliance…awesome world the Repugs have set up for the next generation to inherit huh? Too sad…

     While BOOsh’s Regime bolster about the recent successful testing of their Missile Defense System, the DPRK is using this test as a means to scare their people into supporting efforts to prepare for the re-initiation of the Korean War. They claim that our government is merely taunting them and begging for conflict, so they “must” boost their deterrent. Incredible…

     A recent attempt by a school to censor free speech was recently overruled by an appeals court. In 2004, the middle school in question suspended a student for wearing a shirt that protested BOOsh’s hypocrisy and imperialistic policies in images that also portrayed him as a Cocaine and Alcohol abuser. Victory one for freedom!!

     While everyone else is too damned stubborn to actually find a real solution to the whole debacle in Lebanon, a man that has been successful in negotiating the release of war prisoners of five separate occasions, a man that has great knowledge of the bible and of domestic and foreign policy, a man that should have become President in 1988, the Reverend Jesse Jackson has gone to Lebanon to try and negotiate the release of the two captured Israeli Soldiers. He is attempting to get Hezbollah to provide irrefutable proof that the soldiers are alright in order to ease tensions in the region and to steadily bring them home. I believe that Jesse Jackson should at least be thanked for his bravery in this matter; at least someone is trying to do something to release these guys that don’t include the death of another person!!

    Tonight's Conclusion

     As some would think that raising a baby in this world might be insane, I say there is hope. That hope lies in our determination as a society to crush fascism in its tracks and empower Democracy to survive for future generations. As Jim Wallis once stated: We are the leaders that we have been waiting for!!

     Until Next Time...

    TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

August 28, 2006

  • 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 Churchrecently 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 !4th and 15th 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 9th.


    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

August 19, 2006

  • Our Congress must do it's job, or Checks and Balances will be forever lost

    Do your patriotic duty and demand accountability NOW!!


     Definite wake up call; Home sales have plummeted in 28 states!! Yeah, the so-called “healthy economy” is causing a regurgitation of sorts…hey, here’s a clue; Healthy Job Creation (you know, jobs in the MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY, NOT SERVICES) leads to more home ownership. Maybe that would help our government change course…oh s**t, an uniformed public in addition to Fascists in all levels of government leads to willful ignorance/blind nationalistic ideology running all government policies!! Sorry middle class, your shafting will continue for a couple more decades; after all, abortion, gay marriage, and flag burning are much more important domestic issues right now!


     Repugs in the Media (which they control anyway) are now trying to claim that Congressional Democrats’ recent opposition to the Repug Minimum Wage/Tax Cut scam is “proof of their partisanship”. They claim that that debacle was proof that Democrats have decided to work against Repugs on every issues, “even if they originally like the idea when proposed by Democrats”. The fact is that Democrats in Congress were doing their job – something that has been rare since the DLC took over Democratic Policies – in protecting real improvements in minimum wages from the Repug-favored tax cuts for the rich! No wonder why Repugs want to censor us (which you’ll hear more about later), because it is then that they can spread all the propaganda they want without fearing any debunk in response to their rhetorical bulls**t!!


     There should be no doubts among all Americans – especially Democrats – that BOOsh has committed more than enough Impeachable crimes to be locked away for life, but some “Democrats” are actually chastising those who even consider investigating or looking into the possibility of such a thing. Harry Reid being one of them. Then again, that’s what happens when a right-wing organization - that answers to the same corporate sponsors that the Dictator does – known as the DLC controls the Democratic Party and it’s maneuvering. These people are just as bad as BOOsh for sitting and letting him get away with his crimes; traitors, all of them.


     In a court ruling that undoubtedly rattled the BOOsh Regime; Federal Judge Taylor demanded an end to the Domestic Spy Program after declaring it unconstitutional!! BOOsh claims that he doesn’t have to comply because the program is within “executive authority”. However, he fails to back himself up on that and justifies it by saying that further disclosure on what makes this program legal could compromise “state secrets”. Always the typical Fascist rhetoric, “I’m not breaking the law, we need to protect our country from this endless threat – even at the expense of inalienable rights – but I can’t prove that I’m complying with the law because I could further endanger our fight against that infinite enemy.”


     The Right Wing Media has its influence in every outlet, even CNN isn’t free from Right Wing Propaganda. Several CNN reporters made claims that the recent court ruling against the illegal spy program has been a “damaging blow” to a “key program” in the endless battle against “terrorists”. We should be used to this by now, but it is just more proof of First Amendment violations; these people aren’t reporting the facts – independent from government propaganda – they are merely servants of the people they report on.


     There is no doubt the DLC was very upset with the Lamont victory over BOOsh and Corporate puppet Lieberman. They HATE progressivism and will fight to the bitter end to eliminate it. Why do they hate progressivism? Because it jeopardizes their corporate ties and would threaten to make society work for the “working class” again; not for corporate taskmasters!!


     I agree with fellow liberals that demand the stripping of Lieberman’s seniority before November. In his current position, if Lieberman wins re-election – as a Right Wing Independent – and if the Democrats regain control of the Senate; then Lieberman could become the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee!! This committee could be in good position to investigate the Iraq War policies of the Dictator, especially the rhetoric that led to the war. Do you honestly think that this traitor – Lieberman – would actually investigate the guy that he recognizes as the “boss”? Riiiight…


     Did you know that Repugs once altered a picture – using computer technology – to make it look as if John Kerry was a Satanist. In the picture, Kerry is shown “shaking hands” with the Leader of Satanism. Although it is very similar to a fake picture that portrays BOOsh reading an upside down book, it is still cheap. In fact, the two don’t even really compare because the fact of the matter is that these people tried to make Kerry look evil…not stupid!


     The Federal Repugs’ efforts to strengthen the Federal Government and – undoubtedly – give BOOsh MORE power has struck great concern among 51 governors (including territorial). The movement is unconstitutional and is – without a doubt – an attempt to curtail the inherent sovereignty of the individual state governments. What is the move exactly? A provision of the defense bill that would grant BOOsh the authority to take control of all National Guard units in the event of a national disaster or “emergency”. Just knowing that this attempt to use Katrina in a way that will empower BOOsh is bad enough, but just about anything can constitute an “emergency”; especially with this bunch running the show!!


     One thing that has always angered me is how the RIGHT WING MEDIA (there is NO Liberal Media) has sugar coated every illegal action by BOOsh. Talk about apologists!! The Washington Post – frequently labeled as a liberal paper – has claimed that BOOsh’s “controversial” program consist of “secret surveillance”. There is NO mention of the facts that not only are these programs WARRANTLESS, but they are – therefore – ILLEGAL!! Fascism at it’s best.


     In an interview conducted with a Repug Congressman; Fox News suggested that Congress create a “Federal Office of Media Censorship”!! WTF??!! Didn’t we fight against this kind of oppression with regards to the Soviets and Nazis? Oh, that’s right, this is the “war to terrorize”, and all bets are off!! F**king fascists!!


     Don Imus of MSNBC recently expressed his frustrations with the Democratic Party for “bailing” out on Lieberman. He “threatened” to “ban” all Democrats from his show (like any Democrats with a BRAIN would think of being a guest on this obvious DLC puppet show) if they didn’t support Lieberman over the Democratic Nominee Ned Lamont!! Furthermore, Imus and his band of idiots insinuated that they might have some damaging information on Democratic Senator Chris Dodd; threatening to “reveal the secrets” if Dodd didn’t “get on board”. How is THIS a Liberal media?!!


     I’m sure that - by now – you’ve heard about Senator George Allen calling his African-American opponent “macaca”. He claims that he didn’t know that this was a French Tunisian racial slur that refers to people of African descent as “monkeys”. Hmm, that’s funny, because all evidence of Allen’s past proves otherwise, after all, his own MOTHER is from that very region of the world!! Of course, the media – as always – will permit this Repug to get away with this, like they do in every case.


     Hey, that “Shoot First” law is making life better already!! It seems that in Kentucky – where the Legislature recently passed the law – a Coke-head recently was successful in utilizing this law in obtaining a plea bargain for the bludgeoning death of his “dealer”. He beat the man with a bronze lamp, and then gets a bargain that includes possible parole in a matter of MONTHS…great job NRA!!


     The lady that is Ney’s pick to replace him in the run for 18th District Congressman here in Ohio – State Senator Joy Padgett – once attacked a man that holds the record for having been held longer than any other American as a hostage by Hezbollah in the late-1980s. I once briefly talked about this, but here’s the deal. This woman attacked this born-again Christian man – who became renewed in his faith during the hostage situation – during their battle for her State Senate seat in 2004.


     She claimed that a picture of him shaking hands with one of his captors was proof that he would be “weak on terror”. The picture was real, but it wasn’t out of weakness; this man was doing as God demands us by forgiving those that have sinned against him. He also – at the time of the picture – was demanding to know why he was targeted to become their hostage. Joy Padgett is a sorry excuse for an American, and an even worse human being. She doesn’t deserve to be our Congresswoman!!


     One of Joe Lieberman’s so-called “democratic” supporters is a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Vice-Chairman!! Mark Pryor – of Arkansas – is a strong Lieberman supporter and second in charge of a committee that pledges “Our mission is to elect more Democrats to the United States Senate.” Hmm, a man that is supporting a so-called Independent in a Senate race where that same man – that he supports – left the party because he didn’t win the primary. Mark Pryor must leave the DSCC for being a lying thief and “sabotage detective” for the Repugs, or he must live up to his organization’s promise and support the Democratic Nominee in Connecticut for the Senate!!


     Want proof that Lieberman is no more than a Repug in Independent clothing (seeing how he showed half of his true colors when he ignored the voice of the people in the Primary)? You have to look no further than the Dictator’s very own rhetoric. When asked who BOOsh supports in the Connecticut Race for Senate, Tony Snow said this:


    The president supports the democratic process in the state of Connecticut and wishes them a successful election in November.” Wait a minute…no endorsement for the Repug nominee in Connecticut? Of course not!! Remember Karl Rove offered Lieberman all the help that the “Boss” (BOOsh) can give him!! In order to further embolden their extremist agenda, the Repugs stab their own in the back in favor of traitors like Lieberman.


     Do you think that BOOsh cares for our veterans? Well, would it help to know that he once bitched about Congress’s idea to raise the $6,000 gratuity death benefit for families of fallen soldiers by approximately 100% (calling it wasteful and unnecessary, I was unaware that the sacrifice of our soldiers was wasteful, no wait…rewarding it is wasteful, gotcha.) He wanted to cut “imminent danger pay” by 33%, Family separation allowance (allotted to families of soldiers in vicious battlefields) by 60%. Fellow Repugs at the time refused to even consider tax incentives on home ownership for soldiers. Furthermore, BOOsh proposed cutting soldier pay raises by about 51%. Hmm, BOOsh loves our soldiers…when they become cannon fodder in his ridiculous imperial conquests.


     Prescott Bush, the grandfather of the Dictator, was not only a member of Skull and Bones (like BOOsh and his Father), but was also financially successful in large part due to his ties to the Nazis. Prescott helped the Nazis transfer money from one location to the next, he profited from slave labor at Concentration Camps, and aided the Nazis with their production of weapons. This didn’t end when the U.S. entered WW2, which means, that Prescott fulfilled the Constitutional Requirement for a Traitor. Not only did Prescott financially help Hitler rise to power and build his military up, but he also helped fund the murder of slaves in camps as well as allied soldiers, way to go!! I guess servitude to Fascism runs in the family!!


     The Right Wing Media likes to claim that Democrats are “weak/soft on terror”. However, they ignore all evidence to the contrary. When Repug Saxby Chambliss defeated Democratic Senator Max Cleland (an honorable Vietnam vet that lost three limbs in that war); it was large due to the Chambliss attack ads that claimed Cleland was a “liar” that strongly “opposed” the Homeland Security Department. The fact is that Cleland was one of the biggest supporters of the DHS when BOOsh opposed its creation. Cleland only voted against the DHS when Repug poisonous provisions to the DHS creation bill were directed to negatively impact labor unions. Furthermore, Repugs still lie about Kerry “claiming” that a “global test” was required for US Military Action. Kerry never claimed such a thing – in fact – he actually said this:


    No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America. But if and when you do it, [moderator] Jim [Lehrer], you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.


     Do you see anything in that entire answer that indicates that we need “permission” to use our military? NO! What he was saying was that our government needs to be honest to the entire planet with regards to why we have a “need” to utilize our military. The “global test” was regarding to honesty, not “permission” as BOOsh and company implied misleadingly.


     Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson’s lawyer plans to force Lord Cheney, Propaganda and Fascist Policy Deputy Chief of Minions Karl Rove, and Libby (the only man who’s been charged in the CIA Plame Scandal) to testify in court regarding each of their roles in the treasonous act of unveiling a COVERT AGENT’S Identity for political revenge at a time when she was investigating Iran’s proliferation of WMDs!! May the truth set them free!!


     Don Imus’ producer recently commented that Ned Lamont looks a lot like the guy who’s “confessed” to Jon Benet Ramsey’s murder (I put that in quotation because I still strongly suspect the Ramsey’s were somewhat involved in that…but I digress)!! In fact, the producer implied that he “thought” the two were one and the same!! Then, Bernard McGuirk went on to say: “Is that who you want representing you, Connecticut?” Now, if that isn’t a pathetic attempt to demonize the Primary Victor of the senate race for the Democratic nomination for Connecticut Senator I don’t know what is!!


     A Right Wing, Repug organization has come out calling Lieberman a “martyr” in the aftermath of the recent Primary decision. Why is he a martyr? Because he “stands up for Israel”…who’s the target of this misleading campaign? Jewish voters!! If Lieberman - or BOOsh for that matter – really cared for the Israeli people, then they wouldn’t have sent our troops to Iraq, and wouldn’t blindly support the crimes of the Israeli GOVERNMENT no matter what they do. The fact that our government only cries foul when Palestinians are in the wrong does a disservice to the Israeli people and any hopes for TRUE PEACE!! If anything, Lieberman is a traitor to his ethnic roots!!


     Hey, Repugs in Florida apparently believe that “Blacks aren’t very good swimmers”…ummm, how do these people keep winning elections again?


     MSNBC really totes the Repug propaganda machine (almost as much as Fox), especially Chris Matthews. Mr. Matthews has deceptively linked Terrorists to liberals (claiming that Leftists meet in “mosques … (or in other words) meetings that are associated with -- with their background.”), claims that Liberals basically hate Israel and are Anti-Western in nature. He then implied that honoring civil rights could lead to the deaths of thousands!! WTF?!! Our Inalienable Rights – guaranteed by the Constitution – have stood since the Constitution was adopted in the late 1780s, and not once has it compromised National Security!! Furthermore, I’m liberal and I both have sympathy for the Israeli CITIZENS and am very Pro-Western Society, just not PRO-WESTERN GOVERNMENT, especially as BOOsh is leading the charge at the moment!!


     Furthermore, Matthews consistently utilizes his position as a major columnist for MSNBC to promote his younger – REPUG – brother in his campaign bid for Lt. Governor in Pennsylvania. Matthews keeps insisting that he has nothing to do with his brother’s race, but yet the severe conflict of interest peeks its ugly head every time the race comes up in conversation on the show “Hardball”. Maybe Matthews is trying to follow his mentor Tony Snow (Propaganda Secretary and former Fox Columnist), thinking that if he helps his brother succeed then he’ll get a spot as Press Secretary of the hopeful Repug Administration in that state!!


     Lord Cheney’s recent attempt to make Ned Lamont look like an apologist for terrorism prompted criticism from the First and Former Secretary of Homeland Security; Tom Ridge. Hmm, a former puppet has criticized his former bosses. In fact, Ridge has also revealed other incredible facts, the falsehood of certain “terror alerts” for instance.


     Just how much of a difference has the BOOsh Regime made when one looks at the issue of terrorism? Actually, he’s made quite the difference. Terrorist acts have actually multiplied by an unimaginable amount since BOOsh launched this so-called “war”. Way to go!! BOOsh’s motto should be similar to McDonald’s, but instead of the “billion served” it should be: “A Million Terrorists made every year”


     Seymour Hersch accurately predicted in a recent article that BOOsh and his regime would see the cease-fire for Israel; no matter what the reality was. Why was he able to predict this well? It may come as a shock to you, but it is because this was PART OF THE PLAN. We have learned that BOOsh and his Regime were working with Israel on how to make an assault against Hezbollah work out in a way that would clear the way for another pre-emptive war, target: Iran!! Apparently, this arrangement was in the works long before the July 12th kidnappings!! See what I mean, how is this supposed to help us in any argument that insists the US doesn’t have a bias in favor of Israel, and that the two aren’t conspiring to take over the Arab World?!! Tell me!!


     Does BOOsh really want to deter terrorist acts in the United States? Why do I ask? Well, looking at the facts in front of me; it causes the urge to inquire to pop up. Examine the following facts: BOOsh tried to cut 6 million dollars of funding for screening technology that could track explosives in airports, trains and buses!! BOOsh has been slow on many other movements to improve screening, including finalizing a deal that will help our many sources of transportation to screen liquid explosives (you know, like the ones proposed to be used in the British Terror Plot), this is despite the fact that over a decade ago, there was a foiled plot that involved liquid explosives. Furthermore, BOOsh has also prevented our government from sharing screening technology with our allies, to prevent deadly hijackings, attacks, or other plots from happening on flights destined for the U.S.!! True American or Opportunist? I say; Opportunist…the biggest characteristic of a Fascist!!


     If you have any doubt that BOOsh is an opportunist; then maybe you should watch the video piece that displays the shocking truth (not really shocking, I figured this out two years ago): BOOsh and company have used the terror alert for political reasons in times when certain reports of their corruption have led to them slipping in the opinion polls!! One such incident that “prompted a terror alert” was when Powell revealed that BOOsh had him present false documents before the UN in 2003. During the interview, a staff member of Powell’s rudely interrupted the interview and declared that the interview was “over” before Powell decided to reveal the truth. Do not become willfully ignorant, these bastards in power (including their allies in Congress) are traitors and are DANGEROUS!!


     The recent attacks have led BOOsh to imply that we are “safer, but not safe yet”. His statements are implying that we will be “at war” with “terrorists” for “years to come”.  Just read what he said about the “terrorists only advantage”:


    The enemy has got an advantage when it comes to attacking our homeland: They got to be right one time and we've got to be right 100 percent of the time to protect the American people.


     Translation: We must always use our unconstitutional methods of surveillance and other police actions because that “one time” can come at ANY TIME…beware…at least until November. To BOOsh, the “nature of the world we live in” is enough to keep us in this constant state of fear, at least until he and his allies achieve their goal of unchecked, unlimited power over the masses and most powerful military machine in the world!!


     Hamid Karzai, the guy that BOOsh appointed as Afghan president because of his former employment by oil company; Unocal, has condemned the Imperial Forces for their recent slaughter of innocent Afghan Citizens and Police in an air strike that was supposedly meant for “escaping insurgents”. Not even BOOsh’s puppets are bowing before him as much anymore. Nearly five years of Occupation leads to growing frustrations, hence the reason for the growing Iraqi-style insurgency in Afghanistan. History could be a great ally…assuming that you are smart enough to actually pay attention to it.


     Hey, Repug media: BOOsh’s recent approval rating – according to Zogby – is at 34%!! Damn, the foiled British terror plot really gave him a …wait, no boost here…LMAO…he actually fell two percentage points since that news broke…LMAO!!!


     In the aftermath of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon; the Arab League has declared the “road map to peace” as being DEAD. Therefore, they have called for the UN to comprise a brand new peace plan that will “last”. Russia has called for a rethinking of BOOsh’s failed proposal that was supposed to create a “Palestinian State” last year. The fact of the matter is that there ALREADY IS a Palestinian State, but the British Empire and the UN took it away from them – against their will, the source of all this hatred – in 1948. Remember also that BOOsh has never been committed to establishing a new Palestine, as is proven by his policies; helping Israel with their plot to invade Lebanon, demonizing Iran and Syria, and pissing Palestinians off every time he sided with the Israel when they committed war crimes against the citizenry of their occupied territories; needless to say, this “peace plan” was dead on arrival.


     Some are implying that BOOsh and Blair fabricated the recently displayed terror plot in London for political gain. Why? “How could they even say such a thing?” You say…Observe the following facts that have become known that give serious doubt as to the validity of this “plot”:


    1) It is apparent that the arrested suspects had no “functioning prototype” of this explosive device that they “planned” to use in their “attack”.


    2) There hasn’t been any evidence of these suspects possessing the necessary tickets or even passports for that matter to board any flight whatsoever out of the country.


    3) It seems that the police in London are struggling to find the necessary evidence required to actually prosecute these guys, let alone keep them in jail!!


    4) BOOsh didn’t use the disclosure of this “report” to reform our government’s policies regarding screening and all other Terrorist Deterrents; instead, he has used this whole fiasco for political gain to attack his opponents as being “weak” in his “war to terrorize”.


     You know, I have to agree, this whole damn thing (after reading this report) smells funny. Almost as funny as the Regime’s constant use of all other Terrorist Alerts for political maneuvering. I can’t stress enough how important it is that this man be punished for constantly abusing his power, misleading the American people, committing numerous war crimes and pissing all over the rule of law (both American and International)!!


     If there is any doubt – whatsoever – regarding BOOsh’s intentions to continue the Imperial march of war towards either/both Syria and/or Iran, you need not look further than the Regime’s recent rhetoric about their intentions to speed a proposal through the UN next month to “sanction” Iran for their negligence in complying with demands to “disarm and cease their nuclear ambitions”. BOOsh’s cronies cite the fact that Iransupports Hezbollah as well as other terrorist organizations and has played a destabilizing role in the Middle East.” Notice that I did say “fact”. This is because I don’t deny that Iran is truly an enemy to peace.


     However, they are NOT an imminent threat to the United States. They are a threat – at least in some cases – to BOOsh’s Imperial Conquest in Iraq, but they have not directly threatened us. BOOsh is wanting to return to his WMDs rhetoric again as well as using the issue of “terror” to build support for his next conquest. The only addition this time will be the recent confusing outcome of Israel’s battle with Hezbollah in their aggressive invasion of Lebanese territory; as has been predicted, BOOsh will use that catastrophe for political “capital” and will do his damnedest convincing the public, the planet and Congress once again that we are in a position to pre-emptively act once more. Do not fall for it again America; we can’t afford it (according to the article that I referenced to, over 20 military leaders agree).


     BOOsh is using his “war to terrorize” to try and get support for a recent maneuver to choke the life out of the Freedom of Information Act. In fact, the Dictator has offered a One Million Dollar reward for anyone that can find a way to interpret the law in a way that could clear the way for either kill FOIA or limit it severely! When President L.B. Johnson signed the FOIA in 1966; he wrote a signing statement that has become the focal point of BOOsh’s quest to limit the public’s access to information. Apparently, Johnson stated that the public may only be entitled to information that doesn’t endanger national security.


     Let me point something out here: Observe (once more) the First Amendment of the Constitution:


    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


     The FOIA was merely an affirmation of the First Amendment promise that the people will always possess the power to observe the actions of their servants in government and keep them in check!! Signing Statements can not be used as a Presidential Interpretation of law. Only the courts have that authority!! If Johnson intended to change this law, then he should’ve vetoed it. If he was trying to change the meaning of the law, then he was no less a violator of constitutional law than BOOsh is today!!


     The First Amendment strictly prohibits congress from ever passing any law that would curtail the right and power of the citizens to observe the actions of our government and keep them in check. There are NO EXCEPTIONS, if there were, the Constitution would say so!! Our government needs to remember that this is a Democratic – Republic. What does that entail? It means that (Republic) it is a government that serves the people (Democratic) elected by the people!! Hence, these people in office are our bitches (to put it bluntly), they are NOT OUR MASTERS!!!


     Severely poor handling of the military has led many to speak out against Dumb-ass Rums-failed; especially repugs. Then again, this is all – in turn – a reflection of BOOsh’s character because he adores and treasures the work that this man is doing. Why don’t people just wake up already? (People being Repugs, you can’t love the man’s actions, but yet complain about one of his underlings without holding the man who hired him accountable for that incompetence...it’s just ignorant and blind.)


     BOOsh’s “war” in Iraq has made our fight against terror harder and harder everyday. It is now so bad that the insurgents are becoming more aggressive and harder to negotiate with. Al Sadr – for instance – has lost control of many followers due to his “moderation”. He actually fears for his own life out of fear for repercussions in negotiating an end to the fighting against the Imperial Rulers. At this present time, it is hard to imagine how Iraq will not plummet into all out civil war; killing more Iraqis and more of our own.


     Think the Repugs love our soldiers? Think they are really looking out for Iraqi people’s best interest? Check again; Depleted Uranium – the waste of regular uranium that’s left over after the creation of nuclear weapons – is a favorite new toy for Rums-failed’s military. They put it on artillery shells, they armor the tanks with it and it leaves behind a radioactive trail that will outlive all life on earth!! Many of our returning soldiers that have been living in these areas where this weapon was used have come back with a laundry list of new illnesses. Imagine what the innocent civilians are going through!! How is this not a war crime?


     Stop loss? Is it justified or an obvious abuse of the trust of our bravest? The latter is fact, because BOOsh and company simply don’t care for the people fighting their Imperial Conquest!! Around 300 U.S. soldiers were ordered to return to duty for an additional four months after just returning home. If any of those men die while this extended tour is underway; then I’ll pray humbly that that family wakes up to the truth and demands accountability!! Children miss their parents, spouses miss their significant other…quit screwing them over!!!


     The Government Accountability Office has released a report that criminal activity by military recruiters has doubled in certain cases over the past two years. Apparently, recruiters have used false documents more than what they did two years ago, the number of those REPORTED incidents grew by 33% from 2004. The incidents of sexually related REPORTED misconduct grew by roughly 130% from 2004!! This is the end-result of an immoral war that was based on a pack of lies. An immoral war that is strained for help, leaving the military division that has suffered the most, needing the most. Therefore, recruiters for that division resort to illegal tactics in order to meet their quota. As one great American once said: “Immoral Behavior breeds Immoral Behavior”. Repugs set the standards, and therefore encourage lawlessness!


     The Military – in addition to the scandal clad recruiting office – has been enlisting the highest amount of the lowest scoring recruits in nearly three decades. Category Four recruits will make up roughly four percent of this year’s total enlistments. This is up from the policy of the 90s where the “highest scoring” recruits were the most valuable, because they perform better in training and in battle. Low scoring recruits are more likely to commit the atrocities that have been heard of or seen in Haditha and Abu Ghraib. For shame…


     How would you like to know that certain members of the military are training young children in a course called “Back to Basics Christian Academy”? Nothing wrong with teaching Christian values, but the overall missions is mixing government funded military policy with religious doctrine…can anyone say “Nazi youth”?


     It seems that BOOsh’s imperial conquest in Iraq has paralyzed the National Guard with shortages of supplies and manpower in the Homeland. According to National Guard leaders; the Guard is unprepared for two major events (hurricanes for instance like Katrina and Rita from last year). The diverse National Guard units have to borrow equipment from other states at this moment in time; geez, Homeland Security – in BOOsh’s policies – at its best!!


     It would seem that Mexico is modeling their “democracy” after the one envisioned by Repugs here in the States. A protest regarding Mexico’s recent controversial election led to a squabble where police tear gassed and beat peaceful protesters down. After the police struck first with force, the protesters reacted violently by throwing objects and fists at the officers. Great example to set BOOsh.


     You know, our government is paranoid about China’s recent military build up (can you blame them?), but China insists that they should just “shut up” and “stop worrying”!! LOL, Here’s the full quote from the Chinese envoy to the UN:


    It's better for the U.S. to shut up," Sha said. "Keep quiet. It's much, much better. – (No one need worry because) China basically is a peace-loving nation. – (This build up threatens no one for it is a) legitimate defense.”


     Much, much better for our government to be silent as this monster builds strength? Why? So you can smother us with the metaphorical “pillow” as we “sleep”? I don’t propose engaging China in a fight (seeing how they have the largest standing military in the world, in addition to about 300 Million more of-age draft ready citizens that could be assembled at the snap of a finger), but I do propose that we “sleep” with “one eye opened” at least. LMAO…


     The Constitution means squat to Repugs and their allies in Federal Courts. A Federal Judge – appointed by BOOsh himself – has ruled that it is ok for BOOsh to sign an unconstitutional bill. The recently “passed” spending bill that came into controversy was only VOTED ON BY ONE HOUSE OF CONGRESS. Both Houses voted on the measure, but they had passed two different versions, as a matter of fact there was a difference of $2 Billion!! BOOsh elected to rush and sign the one that promised cuts in Medicare coverage for certain prescriptions – being the evident asshole that he is – ignoring the Constitutional law that says that BOTH HOUSES must concur on the SAME BILL before it receives a Presidential Approval.


     Repugs justify a similar ruling from Federal Courts in the 1980s, but they completely ignore the fact that that was about a bill that Both Houses of Congress had passed identical versions of!! What this decision warrants is a policy where the Speaker of the House and the Vice President (president of the senate) can sign off on a bill that has only been passed by one house before it is sent to the Oval Office, astonishing!! Basically, with this precedent, Repugs only have to control the House, retain the White House, and they’ll be able to pass whatever they want and justify it with this decision!!!


     Oh yeah, one more note, the judge that issued this warning was an associate of Kenneth Starr’s during the Investigation that led to Clinton’s Impeachment. One of their primary goals was to curtail “executive privilege” (a theory created by Nixon) in order to gain information about the First family (which is where they were very successful). That same man then – after being appointed to federal court by BOOsh – permitted Lord Cheney to get away with not disclosing his passed dealings as CEO of Halliburton because of – gasp – “Executive Privilege”. Hmm, it seems that this Nixon-era theory of executive authority only applies to Repugs in office!


    Tonight's Conclusion


     Our Constitution is constantly under the attack of these right wing Facsists...


     It is at this time that I quote Benjamin Franklin:


     "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither"


     I can't stress enough how much that quote means to me, and to the survival of our great experiment that is the Democratic Republic of the United States of America...


     Til next time...

  • The War to Terrorize, a political talking point and tragedy of Biblical proportions

    If BOOsh's Reign of Terror were a Movie, it would be called (as I recently stated in a Yahoo Answer that was awarded "Best Answer"): "Raising George: The Story of How an Entire Nation was Forced to Endure the Pains of Collectively Raising a Toddler in the White House"


     Many Repugs claim that the thwarted terror plot empowers BOOsh’s unconstitutional spy programs. But, as one columnist has so eloquently put it, the UK terror plot was thwarted LEGALLY, and was in no way shape or form in violation of their laws. The deceit by the right wing has reached new pathetic levels of desperation. It’s just sad and out-right hilarious at the same time. Expect their ignorant rhetoric to intensify as the Congressional races come closer and closer to completion.


     Polls show that BOOsh is back at 33% approval rating. So his so-called “boost” received by Zarqawi’s death was very short lived. Why are “democrats” in Congress still afraid to bring up charges against him?


     For those of you that think Lieberman is an honest democrat that cares for our country…think again. He’s merely parroting Repug rhetoric, and is only concerned with retaining his own power to get off on his ego trip. Remove him from every Democratic Club and Committee, and urge him to join the Repugs if he wishes to act like one!!


     The Right Wingers are – indeed – Fascists. Proven by their rhetoric and actions everyday. Many of them are even going to the extremes of calling liberals/leftists “apologists” for those that commit terrorist acts!! They claim that we support Hezbollah’s actions and want our country to lose the “War to Terrorize”. I never said I wanted our country to lose any way, I never said I was an apologist for terrorism, and have never supported Hezbollah’s evil actions. I oppose warfare no matter who wages it!! It’s not a matter of wanting my country to fail in military operations, it’s a matter of wanting my leaders to use their brains and utilize military action as a LAST RESORT!!!!


     Meanwhile, other Repugs claim that the recent movement to “purge” Lieberman from the Democratic Party is because we hate his “Pro-American” stance as opposed to our “Anti-American” position. Such bullsh*t!! If anything, we are Pro-American because we stand up for the United States Constitution, our American laws, and our country’s image as received by our neighbors and allies throughout the globe.


     I’m deeply saddened to see that the great cable monopoly of Time Warner Broadcasting has taken over Adelphia here in Newark. Especially in light of the fact that Warner has censored Democratic views in areas that they completely dominate. In New York, they aired two Repug candidates for Senate in a heated debate, but when Hillary Clinton was set to debate her opponent (Jon Tasini), the company refused to air it. Yet another incident that proves the rising influence of Fascism in our country.


     There are people in our government that want to loosen restrictions on testing new medications on prison inmates. As far as I’m concerned, these people are already being punished and are serving their time; this is nothing less than the Unconstitutional Act of “Cruel and Unusual Punishment”. Testing drugs on prisoners is the ethical and moral equivalent of testing products on helpless animals or even Nazi Experimentation on babies during the Holocaust!!


     Right Wing Judges have said that BOOsh’s unconstitutional signature on a bill that was not identical in both houses of Congress is “ok”. Once again, failure to punish criminals that violate the constitution now sets a precedent for the future, act now or lose this power forever!!


     Hey, I have a special little update for the “License to Kill” supporters out there (that includes you too PrideofRalston) who thinks that these “Stand your ground/Shoot First” laws are going to improve our nation’s security and crime situation: How does it do our nation any good for one man to gun down another over a trash can placement dispute (just to justify it with this new law)? I may defend people’s right to carry a concealed weapon as long as they are proven competent and have been awarded a license to carry one, but incidents like the one that I have cited here are the reason why I am edgy about this whole debacle.


     Are you aware of the FACT that BOOsh knew about the terror plots in Britain for SIX DAYS without doing anything to warn the American people or even to bolster our nation’s defenses against such an attack?!! How is this supposed to encourage Americans? How is this supposed to reinforce the thought that BOOsh doesn’t want another catastrophic event to occur in the United States? His incompetence will be the death of us if he isn’t removed!! To be completely honest, it has been reported that BOOsh and company had little to do with the foiled terror plot at all!! Awesome team work between allies, right?!!


     Our government plans on creating an Electronic Passport that will carry all of the basic information that is on the paper passports, and will allow customs to “speed” through the process. Sounds cool and all, except for three other electronic identification methods that have been approved: VeriChip, Credit Cards and the National ID. Does this concern anyone else as much as it does me? Maybe I’m overreacting, but I just get nervous when I hear about any effort to put massive amounts of private information on a chip.


     Repug Senator Rick Santorum claims that people who leaked and published information about the illegal Domestic Surveillance Programs are traitors. He advocated that the government should “aggressively pursue” these “traitors” and punish them for their deeds. Suppression of free speech and free press; usual movements of a fascist state, as history teaches us. His justification for this tough talk was the recently unveiled information about the terror plot in Great Britain. So, our government should use fear of “terror” to suppress our inalienable rights?! Who is the traitor?


     To be honest, the real traitor is the one who would (as Ben Franklin once put it) “sacrifice essential liberties for temporary security”; thus giving our “enemies” a victory over democracy. The constitution defines a traitor as anyone who: (Article III, Section 3) “adher(es) to (our) Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” The people that disclosed the illegal programs are doing their duty to protect the people and constitution of this great country, but you – Mr. Santorum – are aiding them in their efforts to destroy the U.S. from within.


     Neo-Con Radio Host Glenn Beck expresses a “sincere” warning to all Muslims as our planet sits on the “brink of World War Three”:


    All you Muslims who have sat on your frickin' hands the whole time and have not been marching in the streets and have not been saying, "Hey, you know what? There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. We need to be the first ones in the recruitment office lining up to shoot the bad Muslims in the head." I'm telling you, with God as my witness…human beings are not strong enough, unfortunately, to restrain themselves from putting up razor wire and putting you on one side of it. When…people become hungry, when people see that their way of life is on the edge of being over, they will put razor wire up and just based on the way you look or just based on your religion, they will round you up. Is that wrong? Oh my gosh, it is Nazi, World War II wrong, but society has proved it time and time again: It will happen.


     Regardless of whether or not you or I see this as a true possibility, it is an alarming message to a community that our society is already having trouble impressing. How’s this supposed to prevent Muslims from joining organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al-Qaeda? How is it supposed to give these people encouragement that Americans and the rest of the western world looks out for their best interest? It doesn’t help at all. If anything, this could be used as fuel by the “enemy” to make more “enemies”. If anything, I’d say that Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution applies here as well!!


     The British Terror plot has many similarities to an Asian Terror plot that was foiled over a decade ago. Both were to happen on U.S. Bound flights and both were to deal with “liquid” explosives. As a fellow intellectual once asked, if it was so easy to foil both plots that are so similar, then why was it so difficult – after an incredible number of warnings – to prevent the 9/11 Hijackings? Wrap your brain around that one.


     After Democratic Congressman John Murtha talked about the crimes committed by troops in Haditha, Iraq; Nazi Barbie Ann Coulter claimed that Murtha is “the reason soldiers invented fragging. Not familiar with the term? It’s military slang for the intentional slaughter of a fellow soldier in your unit. When she was recently asked to explain her reasoning for saying such a thing about someone that was simply citing proven facts; Coulter stated that she had no reservations regairding her comments in addition to the following comments:


    You can quote anything I've said back to me and ask me if I have reservations, if I would have done it differently, if I would have said it differently -- do I have any regrets? The answer is no.” After she was asked if she was encouraging someone to “off” Murtha, she replied: “It is what it is.” She would later state that: “if (Murtha) did get fragged, he'd finally deserve one of those Purple Hearts.” Honestly, how does this woman get so much airtime?


     RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman openly cites old retracted information to attack war heroes like Murtha when he says: “Rep. John Murtha…claims America is more dangerous than Iran and North Korea.” This was a claim that was from a misquote that the original corrected six weeks ago!! Pathetic!!


     Some Repug talking heads still suggest that calling for withdrawal of our troops and supporting our troops can’t come out of the same sentence. These people are single-minded fools that can’t ever comprehend or even consider the ability to use brainpower for multi-tasking. Hell, you really don’t have to multi-task to support our troops by demanding their safe return home or PROPER USE OF SERVICES. I’m tired of constantly explaining how both are synonymous; it’s like explaining a bad “blonde joke” to a room full of blondes. Note: I am a blonde, so it is not intended to offend my blonde-haired readers, just for comparison…lol.


     BOOsh and his Regime have been giving blank checks to certain corporate interests that have government contracts. One company has received nearly $100 Million more than they were originally supposed to get. The lack of true congressional oversight has permitted many to get away with robbing the American Taxpayers blind!!


     As I have noted before, our strong ties with Taiwan (that include the sale of certain high-profile weapons to that country) could be a recipe for disaster in the near future. If the Taiwanese people don’t change their anti-China rhetoric soon, we may find ourselves smack-dab in the middle of the worst international crisis in History. A War between China and Taiwan will drag our nation and surrounding Pacific countries into a wide range conflict.


    Pray for sanity, I beg of you.

  • From an Ohioan's perspective: our world is in a downward spiral

    Pray for Sanity...our world needs it


     The recent cheap trick by Repugs to “raise” the minimum wage had another evil scam within it. Repugs were proposing that a rock-bottom flat wage rate be set for all worker’s receiving tips; $2.13. You ask “why is that so bad?” Well, if it had been successful, the bill would’ve cut the pay of worker’s in seven states where Tip-Receiving Employees receive the same minimum wage as everyone else. This was purely fueled by greed and spitefulness, because whether or not it passed; Repugs and their Corporate Allies won.


     Repugs in Las Vegas have made it illegal to feed the homeless on public property!! Threatening a fine of up to $1,000 for anyone willing to be a Good Samaritan; this law is a prime example of why I absolutely detest this group of hypocritical bastards! Thank God that the ACLU is on top of this with a law suit; next time someone questions the morality of the American Civil Liberties Union, all I have to do is just point to this despicable story!!


     Repug Radio Talk-Show Host, Neal Boortz recently stated the following about all adults earning minimum wage (and I quote): “how incompetent, how ignorant, how worthless is an adult…that can't earn more than the minimum wage?" Boortz continued: "You have to really, really, really be a pretty pathetic human being to not be able to earn more than ... the minimum wage.” Hey Boortz, I have two words for you buddy, “F**K YOU!!” Ever considered that there are people out there that don’t have the adequate education or work experience to get a better job? Ever think of the possibility that many of these people don’t have the time to get that proper training or experience because maybe they are parents or have multiple crappy jobs? I hope to God Almighty that this guy doesn’t claim to be a Christian, because his hypocritical nature is truly evident here!!


     How would you like to know that BOOsh plans on cutting the Medicare compensation for Doctors by up to 5.1 percent? That’s right, Doctor’s are going to get less pay from Medicare as a part of a new spending reduction plan that also includes some other crazy proposals where Hospitals will only have an increase in compensation if they report the results of procedures to the government. Sounds like Repugs are bringing our government closer and closer to laziness when it comes to helping our seniors.


     A recent decision in San Francisco will place the question of “Should BOOsh and Lord Cheney be Impeached?” on the ballot in November. How many more of these smaller statements must be made before CONGRESS FINALLY ACTS?!! If you are a citizen of Newark, Ohio…or even from Licking CountySIGN MY PETITION NOW!!


     Repugs in states like Oregon wish to violate the 14th Amendment directly by stripping anyone born of an illegal immigrant or non-citizen of their inherent American Citizenship!!


     The Constitution clearly says: (In the 14th Amendment) “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Do you see any exceptions that say “unless they are born of an illegal immigrant or non-citizen”? No. Apparently, Repugs in Congress also recently considered this proposal; shows how much they really respect our constitution.


     A recent Repug Voter Registration scam coerces potheads to sign on a petition to legalize marijuana followed by their registration as a repug voter. How deceitful!! If it weren’t for Repugs, marijuana would already be legal…durrr!!!


     After the whining Lieberman lost in the primary election – as I had predicted – Karl Rove…you know, BOOsh’s Deputy Chief of Goons offered Lieberman the help of the “boss” (as he referred to BOOsh as), saying that the BIC will be “willing to do whatever Lieberman needs help with” to be “re-elected”. Lieberman has filed as an Independent in the race for his Senate Seat (you know, the one that he desecrated by almost frenching the Dictator), and has refused to congratulate Lamont on a well fought victory. Crush this Coward in November!!


     Here in Ohio’s 18th Congressional District, Bob Ney’s recent announcement that he will not seek reelection has Repugs struggling to find his replacement. His choice in State Senator Joy Padget (a bitch that labeled a man that she ran against a couple years ago as anti-American and a coward, although he was a hostage in a major incident about two decades ago…that was Terry Anderson) to replace him this fall might be in trouble. For one, there are two laws that Repugs made in our state law that prevent two things; 1) A candidate running for a state and federal office at the same time (originally intended to target Democratic Nominee for Governor and Congressman Ted Strickland) 2) A “sore-loser” running for an office in a general election when they lost an earlier primary for a separate office. Padget lost a primary bid for Lieutenant Governor this past May, and it seems that Repugs have screwed themselves while trying to limit options for Democrats…LMAO!!!!


     Lord Cheney could be in troublewhat else is new? – regarding his practices as CEO of Halliburton. In Great Britain, there’s an investigation into Halliburton’s practices of how they attained contracts for construction/reconstruction. Could be interesting…


     General Geoffrey Miller – the guy who oversaw detainee treatment in Cuba and in Iraq (that includes Abu Ghraib) – has received honors for his “good work” in the so-called “war on terror”. It is very possible that this guy was the top influential figure in the sexually oriented scandal in Abu Ghraib Prison. Just like Nazi Germany, if you commit war crimes in our military – as long as you are a commanding officer – you will be commended for your work instead of punished for your misdeeds.


     The Pentagon misled the 9/11 Commission regarding their response to the hijackings that transpired that fateful morning. Does this surprise anyone?


     BOOsh plans on further desecrating our Constitution in his “War to Terrorize” (as this site will label the “War on Terror” from now on) by persuading a Repug Controlled Congress to pass legislation that would do allow Dumb-ass Rums-failed to put on trial before a military tribunal anyone “(that are) not members of al-Qaeda or the Taliban and are not directly involved in acts of international terrorism”. Furthermore, the proposal “would also allow the secretary of defense to add crimes at will to those under the military court’s jurisdiction”. Military Tribunals – as viewed by the Evil BOOsh Regime – don’t have to abide by Constitutional Requirements. No right to legal counsel, no right to speedy trial, no right to contest accusations and accusers with witnesses either for or against. Hearsay evidence is empowered and even encouraged in the “war to terrorize”. How’s this different from Stalin’s tactics to oppress his people’s right to dissent and smashing any and all threats to his power?


     As the drumbeat to BOOsh’s next front in his “war” continues, his cronies now claim that there isn’t “any evidence yet that (Iran is) complying with the demand and requirement of the international community”. Oh, well I guess that we should all cover our heads with towels, buy duct tape and gas masks, volunteer for the military and call for God’s wrath to rain down on the Iranians!! I’ve seen this rhetoric before and knowing that many out there will fall for it makes me sick!!


     BOOsh wants to change our War Crime laws to permit Internationally Illegal behavior in warfare. The main target is a law that Clinton signed which underlines our need to strictly abide by the rules of the Geneva Conventions. If BOOsh is successful – and he will be if change doesn’t occur in November – then the brutal and despicable acts in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib will surely become more and more frequent as time goes on. Beautiful example to set for the rest of the world!!


     Shiite followers of al-Sadr demonstrated in support of Hezbollah and Lebanon chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America”. Their hatred for BOOsh was definitely evident as pictures of him were torched as well as expressions of BOOsh and Saddam being “Two faces of the same coin”. Damn, just when BOOsh and them “thought” that supporting Israel’s actions were going to help in their “War to Terrorize”…


     While Repugs were attempting to pass their cheap trick of a tax cut for the rich…where were Ted Kennedy and John Kerry? Well, they were off doing something that you’ll never see BOOsh doing…attending the funeral of soldiers that died in the Iraq War. Kerry and Kennedy – war veterans themselves – displayed their true love for our brave men and women, while the cowardly chickenhawks continued to offer more rewards for their rich masters. Thank You Kerry and Kennedy for showing that you care.


     Repugs are blaming a “tight budget” on their recent proposals to cut funding for “research and treatment of brain injuries caused by bomb blasts, an injury that military scientists describe as a signature wound of the Iraq war.” Now, I want to know what morons out there still believe that these f**kers love and care for our brave men and women in the military. As far as they’re concerned, these soldiers volunteered to be cannon fodder, and will be treated as such…no better. I say that since these people are so willing to give their precious lives for our country, then they ALL deserve the best care that our tax dollars can buy!!


     It seems that Iran and North Korea are using their common interests, trade partners and enemies as reasoning to team up once more. North Korea and Iran have been sharing technology for missiles and other weapon to further booster their combined deterrence. North Korea may be arming old-Soviet Submarines with advanced missile-launching capabilities and they have been building new missile silos and other sites near the DMZ. Truly terrifying.


     As BOOsh, Blair and their ignorant band of retards attempt to deceive Lebanon and force them to accept a “temporary” Israeli occupation of their land, Lebanon – backed by many allies throughout the Arab World – has refused to support any measure by the UN that does not call for an immediate withdrawal of Israeli Troops. Hezbollah will not agree to a cease-fire nor will the Arabs settle until all Israeli Troops leave Lebanese soil; why are Arabs being asked to be the only group making sacrifices? It’s Lebanon that would have to give up a large section of their land to International Peacekeepers…not Israel…It’s Lebanon that would have to agree to a foreign occupation by a force that invaded and slaughtered many of their people…not Israel. And we wonder why these people hate the “western world”.


     One reason that our country is not demanding a cease-fire and withdrawal of Israeli Troops in the Mideast Crisis is probably because it is being used as an excuse to attack Iran and/or Syria!! Blair recently warned that both countries were “risking confrontation” for their apparent ties with terrorist organizations. To anyone that believes that Blair is competent and capable of making great decisions, I simply point towards this to expose the true nature of his weak-mindedness and apparent knack for giving into temptation.


     Israel recently decided to greatly “expand” their offensive in Lebanon. The IDF (Israeli Defense Force) reported that they had “found” dead soldiers from the Iranian Republican Army among the dead Hezbollah fighters. Iran denies this, but I look at it with caution. This is just MORE proof to the theory that this war is merely an excuse to start a war with Iran and/or Syria. Beware…


     BOOsh and Blair’s dreams may come true when it comes to Syria…because a leading member of their government has threatened: “If Israel attacks Syria by any means, on the ground, in the air, our leadership ordered the armed forces to reply immediately”. Effectively spreading the conflict even further, Syria’s intervention would be a disaster. Israel has had many close calls with air strikes coming close to crossing the border with Syria. The Syrian government claims that they only give moral support for Hezbollah, but this conflict has built up some much tension that the Syrians “welcome” the possibility of a broader conflict. If Syria gets involved, then I believe that the rest of the region will tumble into a chaotic mess…like a row of dominoes. Thank you BOOsh…honestly.


    Tonight's Conclusion


     As you can see, the world is filled with chaos...but, I urge you all not to fret;


     There's still hope. As you will read on my Yahoo 360 site... the creation of new life is always a positive sign in light of anarchy.

  • Jihad on the Horizon, Demand an end to Incompetence in our Government

    What would you do to defend our Country from tyranny and oppression?


     Michael Hayden (and other cronies from the BOOsh Regime) is urging Congress to break away from the Fourth Amendment and allow the NSA to spy on whoever they want/whenever they want, claiming that warrants “hinder the fight against terrorists”. Bull**it!! We need not allow these bastards to get away with changing our laws in such a way that they end up having room to invade our privacy without fearing a lawsuit or congressional complaints. Too much power!!


     My Congressman, Bob Ney (R) has a little brain. Or at least that’s what it seems like when someone reads the following;


     “I believe we must protect marriage from activist judges who want to define marriage for the rest of the nation. … Another issue we must protect from the decisions of activist judges is the Pledge of Allegiance. It is absolutely outrageous courts in this country have ruled saying the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional because of the phrase "under God." Indeed, if "under God" makes the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will have to be declared unconstitutional as well, since both documents explicitly refer to God. … Finally, the House also addressed this week the President's veto of H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. I did not vote for this legislation or to override the President's veto as I believe there are ways to conduct stem cell research without destruction of human embryos.


     I’m embarrassed to have representation in Washington D.C. like this. The Fundamentalist right wing has no business telling me who I can or can’t marry, no religious organization has the right to tell me what God I have to acknowledge or worship, and no leader of any religion has the right to block the progress of scientific research that could save lives. Bob Ney is in violation of the First Amendment which clearly states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. Seeing how marriage is recognized as a religious institution having been first initiated with the union of Adam and Eve, then this should be treated as a RELIGIOUS matter, which means that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for Congress to make any law that would prohibit any religion from allowing any combination of people to marry. The government doesn’t even have the authority to block same sex marriages by judges, because the 14th Amendment protects every Americans equal right to get the same treatment.


     As for the pledge of allegiance, Ney needs a history lesson on when the label “god” was placed on certain government items. Yes, the Declaration of Independence mentioned “god”, but if you research quotes by its author (Thomas Jefferson), you will find a large number of instances where he opposed any mixing of “church and state”. As for Ney’s claim that the Constitution mentions God in it as well...here is the ONLY time that the Constitution makes any mention whatsoever of a deity:


     “Article 7 (Ratification of the Constitution); Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth. In Witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names. (followed by the signatures)” See? LOL!!! This is used as “proof” that the founding fathers all shared a common belief in God and “wanted” this nation to be “Christian”. The vast majority of all public officials in the English Speaking World referred to the date as “year of our Lord (followed by the number year)” That is no affirmation by our founding fathers of this being a “Christian Nation”.


     I think Ney needs to READ THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. As for “Under God”, “So Help Me God” and “In God We Trust”; every one of those were used later, not by our founders. The Oath of office as instructed in the Constitution did not include “god”, “Under God” was added to the pledge during the 1950s as a “weapon” to “unite” Americans against the so-called “godless Communists”, and “In God We Trust” was added on our currency during the Civil War to “unite” Americans behind the belief that God himself would reunite that Union. Pays off to know history doesn’t it? Finally, the Stem Cell fiasco is just tragic.


     Funny that BOOsh’s only veto is as heartless as his only grant of Clemency (out of 153 opportunities) as Governor of Texas. The policy of handling Embryonic Stem Cell Research is as fundamentalist as the previous two subjects, along with the abortion issue. Just lawmakers trying to shove their religious rhetoric down the throats of their constituents at the expense of progress!


     I’m fed up with these cowards in Congress. Repugs in both houses have proposed a bill to increase the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour…but there’s a catch; in order to achieve this increase for the unfortunate section of the population that has to raise a family on minimum wage, the rich must get a tax cut. That’s right, a provision of the wage increase states that the Estate Tax (so-called Death tax) must be cut tremendously in order for our poorest to get a pay raise. WTF?!! That’s what I call a cheap trick. See, the Repugs are trying to have the false appearance of helping the poor while realistically putting Democrats in a position where they’ll vote against the increase they have so desired!! This is bull**it, and is mirrored by similar votes when it comes to other issues like Abortion and the War in Iraq!!


     Recent polls have shown that a large number of Americans (a majority in fact) have been angered by BOOsh’s incompetent leadership, especially on the Stem Cell Veto. Americans aren’t stupid, we know that we need this research if we want to have a chance at taking care of some of our worst illnesses.


     The Surveillance Detection Report should set alarms off for every freedom loving American. Air Marshalls in certain areas have been given a quota to deliver at least one “SDR” on terrorist suspect activity a month or risk not being rewarded in a number of ways. This dangerous rule threatens to put thousands of frequent fliers in danger of being arrested or subjected to any other similar type of humiliation simply because an Air Marshall placed them on a watch list in order to get a pay raise. Great huh?!


     The BOOsh Regime doesn’t plan on obeying the Supreme Court or the Geneva Conventions, because they plan on continuously changing and “interpreting” the law to make their ideology work. It’s a no win situation as long as these guys continue to hold the reigns of power. Sad.


     Pakistan is now planning on updating a nuclear reactor so that it could produce up to 50 nuclear weapons every year! This is in light of the announcement of BOOsh’s plot to sell several dozen military jets to Pakistan, and could cause that region to edge closer to a Nuclear Arms Race and possible war. I’m almost done trying to understand the logic of this Regime, and even closer to giving up on explaining why they still have ignorant supporters.


    Tonight's Conclusion - Justifying Impeachment


     Why must BOOsh be impeached? The Constitution says so:


    1. SIGNING STATEMENTS


     a) Article I, Section 7; “(Every bill shall) be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it.” BOOsh’s “Signing Statements” are in clear violation of this Constitutional Requirement, because if he doesn’t approve of a bill, then he must VETO it, which gives Congress an opportunity to reexamine the bill if need be and try again. BOOsh uses the “signing statements” to interpret the laws in whatever way he wishes so that he can “change” the meaning of a law he doesn’t like.


     b) Article I, Section 1; “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States” and Section 8 “Congress shall have Power To make all Laws” along with Article II, Section 1;


     “Before (the President) enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.


     And Article VI; “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land. - The Senators and Representatives…and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution.


     Translation? Confirmation that BOOsh is in violation of the Constitution when he disobeys any Congressionally made laws, Treaties and other Constitutional Laws. Furthermore on the Treaties subject (Article II, Section 2 “(The President) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur”); BOOsh has pulled out of a number of Cold War Era treaties without congressional approval and needs to be punished for this.


    2. WAR


     a) Article I, Section 8; “The Congress shall have Power To declare War” The “Authorization to use force against Iraq” bill was unconstitutional, and so was BOOsh’s actions in playing a part in this illegal scheme. BOOsh’s war in Iraq is unconstitutional because Congress never DECLARED WAR against Iraq this time around, instead Congress illegally gave BOOsh the so-called blank check to use force when and if he thought it was necessary.


    3. Congressional Obligation to Impeach : Article II, Section 4; “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” BOOsh and his Cabal are not only guilty of not obeying the Laws that Congress passes, and not obeying the Constitution (which can be seen as High Crimes), but they are also guilty of Treason, as in the case of Valerie Plame, and of Bribery as in recent cases where they have coerced certain members of the media to illegally spread their propaganda after accepting a hefty bribe.


    4. TREASON (VALERIE PLAME)


    a) Article III, Section 3; “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” In response to Ambassador Joe Wilson’s report about BOOsh’s lies against Iraq, BOOsh and Company authorized the unveiling of his wife’s (a CIA Operative) Identity while she was on a covert mission surveying the proliferation of weapons into, through, and/or out of Iran. How is that not aiding our “enemies”?


    5. Suppressing the First Amendment


    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


     a) BOOsh has recently called for a “Marriage Protection Amendment” that would be in violation of suppressing free religious expression. He has also illegally sent tax dollars to religious institutions while allowing those same organizations to discriminate who gets employed with that money.


     b) On numerous occasions, BOOsh has suppressed the right to assemble peaceably and speak out against the government. Several Federal Agencies have targeted peaceful activists as “suspected terrorists”. In other cases, Americans have been kicked out of tax payer functions for simply having a different opinion, and so-called “free speech zones” have been created by this cabal to further silence dissent.


     c) BOOsh has violated the right to a free press several times as well; bribing media members to spread his propaganda both during the build up for war and during his run for office. He has also appointed members of the media to Cabinet positions, more than likely as a reward for their loyalty to the Neo-Con cause.


    6. Violation of the Fourth Amendment


    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


     a) It is certainly no mystery by now that BOOsh has repeatedly violated this law by justifying it with being necessary to fighting the “war on terror”. From spying on our Bank Transactions to our Emails, letters and phone conversations, BOOsh has made it clear that he doesn’t believe he needs a warrant to look into these private “paper and effects”. Furthermore, recent Repug proposals would still lead to the NSA breaking the law when it comes to that last underlined part. Repugs want a blank check “warrant” that doesn’t specify who or what will be seized. Legal? Hell No.


    7. Ignoring the Fifth Amendment


    No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law


     a) On many occasions, BOOsh has allowed Muslim citizens to be arrested without due process simply because they appear to be a “terrorist suspect”.


    8. Violation of the Sixth Amendment


    In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury ….and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.


     a) As I have previously reported here, BOOsh has imprisoned many Muslim Americans and so-called “enemy combatants” and has sent them to a number of military tribunals. Hell, a large number of them have been held without charges, without counsel, and have been tried without public oversight, without witnesses against or for them!


    9. Disrespect for the Eighth Amendment


    Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.


     a) The death penalty violates this all of the times…however, BOOsh’s Torture Memos also violate this.


    10. Ignoring the Tenth Amendment


    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.


     a) If BOOsh signs the proposal to force non-CCW states to recognize the “CCW Licenses” of citizens from other states, then he will be in clear violation of this Amendment.


    11. Disrespecting the 14th and 15th Amendments


    No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” and “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.


     a) The “Marriage Protection Amendment” would violate this law, unless the 14th were repealed.


     b) Some states have laws preventing Americans from exercising their equal right to vote merely because they had a previous conviction, although they had already served their time. Of course, that has almost nothing to do with BOOsh, but BOOsh’s appointments of people that do violate this law to the FEC is of major concern.


     With all that in mind…is there any doubt about whether or not BOOsh needs to be impeached?


    TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

July 24, 2006

  • 277 Days into my Xanga Membership (as I just learned)...

    A new entry, but not alot of new news...as the beat goes on in BOOsh World


     BOOsh’s Imperial Propaganda-Protection Attorney Gonzales has insisted that the Justice Department can’t investigate the NSA Spy Program because BOOsh has blocked security clearance access to investigators. Gonzales insists that this is within BOOsh’s “inherent constitutional authority” and BOOsh’s spokes-bitches claim that this is not something that should be under the oversight of the Justice Department. Ok, let’s look at facts here. There is no INHERENT CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY of any government official to BYPASS any RIGHTS of the People!!! Especially not our right to privacy!! How is Gonzales supposed to honor his position as the lawyer of the People if he does everything he can to keep the actions of BOOsh and his cabal in the shadows? The purpose of the Attorney General is to be the legal protection of the citizenry from an oppressive government. In other words, Gonzales isn’t BOOsh’s lawyer, he is OUR LAWYER!!! Must I use the seven letter “I” word again?


     Do you admire Right wing nuts like Ann Coulter? Well if you do, then you do not deserve the label of being a freedom loving American, in my eyes. Bitch Coulter has come out saying that John Murtha should be executed for stating that the war needs to be ended at the soonest practicable date. OK, so dissenting American deserve death for wanting to end an illegal war that has been fought in our name. Coulter is a perfect model of an idol worshipping Fascist.


     If you think that suppression of the First Amendment is non-existent under BOOsh…think again. It is clear that there is nothing BOOsh hates more than dissent. He has coined the phrase “free speech zone” and even introduced “loyalty oaths” to the 2004 Campaign. I was a volunteer for Kerry and attended two Kerry Rallies, and never had to sign any kind of oath before getting a FREE TICKET. Repugs, Independents and Democrats were all invited. Hell, less than 20 feet away from the rally were a bunch of hecklers calling Kerry a “flip-flop”. But, BOOsh has done everything he can to put any dissent far far away from wherever it is that he shows up. He’s a coward, plain and simple. Furthermore, this is another example of the many Constitutional Violations the BIC has committed. Since when do Americans have to be in a preordained “zone” to exercise any right guaranteed by the Law of the Land? Nothing gives any government official the right to oppress our right to dissent and to be HEARD DISSENTING!! Impeach this Bastard NOW!!!


     Well, that twisted Bastard has finally lived up to a promise to veto a bill. Here are a few reasons why: First of all, it would’ve been pointless to sign the stem cell bill with a signing statement because there was no language in the bill that he wanted to pass anyway. There was nothing in the bill that he could twist and dement to make it work for him. This MOFO (for lack of a better expression) doesn’t care about the millions of lives that could possibly benefit from this. Furthermore, this is just like his stance on the death penalty. Out of 153 Executions that he could’ve commuted or granted clemency on (as Texas Governor); the Bastard only granted clemency to one…the admitted and convicted murderer/rapist of over 200 people, including children (keep in mind that mentally retarded and converted Christians were also among those that he just let die). I hate this man…plain and simple.


     Did you know that our government has been requiring that Americans repay the government for being evacuated out of Lebanon? Yeah, it’s sad…but so true. BOOsh’s Propaganda Secretary Snow has stated that the government has been “forced” to collect the $150 (or more, including possible plain ticket back to the states from the Mediterranean) by a law passed in 2003. According to some, it was not the intent of Congress to block evacuations with ridiculous charges in case of emergency. How in the hell are we going to charge our own citizens when they are seeking refuge from a war torn region?!! That’s yet another case of justice in BOOsh world!!


     Despite his appalling job as Recess Ambassador to the UN; BOOsh wants to confirm Bolton. This man is a nut and has been partially responsible for many of the mishaps that have occurred with our foreign policies since he was thrown into his current post last summer. If it wasn’t for many of the things that Bolton has blurted out in the UN, maybe relations would be somewhat better with China and Russia…maybe we wouldn’t be as close to a possible war with the DPRK as we are now…and maybe…just maybe…a cease-fire would’ve been demanded already in the current Mideast Crisis!!! But noooooo…that’s assuming we’d have a competent group of leaders in charge of our government!!


     Many Lebanese believe that this brutal conflict between Israel and Hezbollah (that has killed many people in Lebanon and Israel) is what BOOsh wants. Is this without warrant? How can you blame these people for thinking such things as of late?


     Honestly, I have to come to terms with the possibility that not only does BOOsh not care about the innocents lost in this violence…but he is also helping the effort that takes those lives away to begin with. It was recently disclosed that BOOsh has approved a sped-up delivery of precision-guided missiles to Israel from a deal that was made last year. To cover this sadistic idiocy up, BOOsh has also released information regarding an apparent weapons sale in the worth of billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia. That’s awesome!!! We sell billions of weapons to a terrorist nation that was host to 15/19 Hijackers from 9-11. If it’s not BOOsh’s love for innocent blood that’s at issue, then it’s his knack for choosing oil over justice and peace.


     It shouldn’t be ignored that there is proof in the matter that BOOsh only cares for Saudi Arabia’s oil and not their opinions….a recent letter from the Saudi Royal Government pleaded with BOOsh to call for a cease fire, but BOOsh just gave them the finger and told his spokes-bitches to tout their ignorant “you all know where we stand” response. I agree with the Saudi Arabia when they say: “There is only one problem in this crisis: It is Lebanon, and the inability of Lebanon to exercise its sovereignty over its territory, - Everybody who needs to help, who must help, should help.” Exactly. The United States is supposedly the greatest ally that Israel has, so we should act like a great friend and advise them to cut this crap out and get BACK ON THE ROAD TO PEACE. Then again, we must remember that the BIC doesn’t really know what the f**k “sovereign” means, so I’d have to advise the Saudis to re-explain this entire dire situation to BOOsh in the most childish, redneck, dumb-ass terms possible. Or just give him a book entitled “Foreign Policy in the Middle East for Dummies”.


     Iraq is becoming a bedlam, and as I continue to watch the horror over there, I am never surprised (unfortunately) by this insanity. According to several reports; the Civilian casualties in Iraq have increased steadily every month since this year began. Over the past two months alone, there have been approximately 6,000 civilians slain!! Do we call this progress?


     For just a few dollars, any Iraqi can become an Iraqi police officer, soldier or even an American Soldier. That’s right, on the various street markets throughout Iraq, uniforms, equipment and even medals can be purchased by the citizenry. Which is ok in any other case, except for the fact that Insurgents have been using these to trick civilians and our soldiers, and leave them blind sided for a cheap sneak attack. Does it look like these people can take control of their own affairs any time soon? Unfortunately…no. That’s not backing up the view that we need to stay there longer, that’s a sign that we need to improve our methods of training and do so in a timely manner so we can get the hell out of there!!


     The Iraqi Parliament speaker recently delivered harsh criticism of the “butchery” of Iraq’s Oppressive, Imperial Occupant forces in front of a UN delegation. Talk about an embarrassing moment for BOOsh…”hey, here’s a guy that will tell you all about my …evil actions…wait a minute, get that guy out of there…he only knows the truth, my greatest enemy!!” The Speaker also demanded that our Empire withdrawal from Iraq as soon as possible to let Iraqis deal with their own problems. Didn’t BOOsh and company once say that we would leave Iraq when we were asked to be their government? How many times has that happened now?


     As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t count on a withdrawal anytime soon, because Rums-failed is planning on sending more troops to Iraq anyway. Did you know that insurgent attacks have increased by 40 percent in the past few weeks? Once again, it remains clear that this quagmire is far from over, unless we rid ourselves of the nimrods who run the show!!


     I’ve read sadistic stories about this war before, but barely anything has compared to what I recently read about some of the abusive actions of the 4th Infantry Division. With a commander named Odierno (that is poised to become the number two man in charge of overseeing all operations Iraq) the 4ID has committed some heinous actions and have basically got away with most or all of them. This evil commander once told his troops to round up all “military age men between 16 and 60 years old” in a town because they supposedly couldn’t tell which were good or bad!! This man then simply discharged one soldier that murdered a man that was handcuffed after turning himself in. Others that have been influenced by this guy have committed other horrible acts…such as seeking revenge for other dead commanders by handcuffing and drowning a man or by chasing another into his house, beating him and then viciously shooting them down in cold blood.


     The latter offense became a huge issue, and was even a matter handled in military court, however, this is how that story went: “Staff Sgt. Shane Werst, led an Iraqi into his home, allegedly struck him about 10 times, then shot him at least six times with his M-4 carbine. - "I can't help but feeling like I was part of an execution," Pfc. Nathan Stewart, the other soldier who was there, later testified. The facts of the matter aren't in dispute. Werst then pulled out a handgun, fired it into a wall, and told Stewart to smear the dead man's fingerprints on it. - Charged months later with murder, Werst testified that he acted in self-defense. Werst said he had planted the handgun on the dead man because "I was second-guessing myself." He was acquitted by a military jury.” Acquitted by a military jury because he justified planting the victims prints on the murder weapon was a result of “second guessing”…BULLSHIT!!! That’s an excuse that the Nazis would’ve used. Let me ask my readers this one question;


     If one of your loved ones was suddenly chased into his house, beaten and then murdered by a police officer, and that same officer suddenly planted your lost loved one’s prints on the weapon…would you accept or even expect the murderer’s acquittal because he claimed that the planting of the prints was because of “second guessing”?!! Honestly, this has gone too far!!


     It seems that relations with Russia have been getting worse as of late. Especially in the wake of Putin’s crackdown on Democracy and Dissent in his country, alongside the War in Iraq, the issues with North Korea and Iran…and now this insane crisis with Israel and Lebanon. BOOsh has made things worse – as only his stupid ass can – by exposing his hypocrisy and carelessness. BOOsh first tried to “coerce” Putin to make improvements in the areas of free press and free speech (as well as sectionalism) to make Russia a better place. He cited how his Regime is supposedly promoting “institutional change in parts of the world like Iraq where there's a free press and free religion” and would like for Russia to follow Iraq’s example. In a hilarious reply, Putin shot back: “We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq, I will tell you quite honestly” LMAO!!!! I will note that although I see Putin for the dictator he really is…this comment makes so much sense. How can one dictator try to tell another dictator to not run their country as a dictatorship? Well, this whole showdown between the Oppressors has led to BOOsh blocking Russia from having a WTO membership, causing the U.S. to remain as the only country that hasn’t ok’d it. Beautiful, just beautiful!!


     The South American alliance against the United States Free Trade Route has grown more powerful. Although it is still dwarfed by NAFTA, this alliance now has the membership of Venezuela, and has announced plans to increase trade with Cuba. These Nations are doing their best to break free from the American Empire’s enslavement of their people, and I couldn’t be happier for them. However, just because I’m happy for their movement, I’m very angry at how it had to happen. The incompetent bastards that control this Empire had their chance and still have the opportunity to help improve our trade relations with our Hemisphere. They can do this by ending the lop-sided and counter-productive policies of “Free Trade” and starting fair trade which would force trade partners to improve their treatment and pay of workers, therefore steadily ending the policies of slave wages and the curse of out(and in)sourcing! Wake up America, the people that you ignorant rednecks keep electing (not directed towards ALL Americans, just the section that vote straight Repug without thinking first) are only destroying our great nation and our relations with other countries!! If you truly love the middle class, then you will kick these idiots out now!!


    Tonight's Conclusion


     You all should take note of everything that is going on around the world right now. It doesn't seem to be calming down at all...just getting worse. I'm a huge believer in the Bible, and know alot about the end times prophecies (not everything though). Keep an eye out on the following situations because the prophecies often come to mind when I read about or watch them:


    1) The Israel-Lebanon Crisis


    2) The War in Iraq and in Afghanistan


    3) The Tensions between the American Empire and Syria/Iran.


    4) The Falling Value of the U.S. Dollar


    5) The growing movement for regions to unite against the United States.


    6) The Nuclear Weapons Debacle with North Korea (that involves China, Russia, South Korea and Japan as well)


    and 7) The Increasing Influence of Fascist/Fundamentalists in our (and surrounding) government(s).


    Keep those in mind along with some other smaller factors...


    TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
