"W" the Queerist Cowboy of All ?

Maureen Dowd:

Gorgeous George Bush...The 'Queerest' Cowboy President of Them All



Maureen Dowd, with Hot Monkey Love, is in suitably skittish mood for the holiday season. Her gift is the ability to use popular culture to make strong political points. She takes "Brokeback Mountain", the gay cowboy movie and turns it into another anti-Bush satire.

As President Bush tries to shake off his dazed look and regain his swagger, he will no doubt dust off his cowboy routine: his gunslinger pose, his squinty-eyed gaze, his dead-or-alive one-liners, his Crawford brush clearing. But this time, he may want to think twice before strapping on a Texas-shaped belt buckle. W. might inadvertently conjure up images of Bushback Mountain.

...a review of Brokeback Mountain when it won the Palme d'Or in Cannes last September. Here's an excerpt:

WHO ARE YOU CALLING BUTCH?

All that leather, all those nights with their partners by the campfire... As the Palme d'Or is won by a film that finally portrays two cowboys as lovers. One wonders why it took so long to tell it straight. Across Wyoming into Montana and Idaho, smoke signals are carrying the message from Venice. It reaches down through Colorado (where Brokeback Mountain also played at Telluride recently) to New Mexico and Arizona. Battling wind, sandstorm and the sturdy resistance of "W" (did you ever think, it's really "double you"?), the coded report has gone like wildfire: "Pink hats are in this year, boys." The code is required because those pioneers of smoke talk - the Native Americans - remain religiously opposed to certain tender understandings among cowboys. Never mind, the truth is out at last (thanks to Annie Proulx and director Ang Lee). After cowboys had done their best on lonely tours of duty to do what a man must do with sheep, steers, coyotes and wolves (and some of these guys are called "Stumpy" for good reason), they did turn to each other. That's right, pardner, some of the best men you ever saw on or off a horse have been gay.Whatever next, eh? George Bush in the closet? National Inquirer headline screams: "Is Bush Queer?" Not that Maureen Dowd suggests that Bush might be butch to mask his gayness to himself. Maureen Dowd also includes another icon of popular culture - King Kong:
This lovable overgrown monkey is more like the brooding, wounded and steadfast romantic heroes Heathcliff and Rick Blaine. Like Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy, Peter Jackson's big ape goes for gals with spunk. He likes babes who juggle more than jiggle. http://www.radicalleft.net/blog/_archives/2005/12/18/1453292.html






We COULD have a fascists frog march parade down Wall Street and likely cover at least a block with wall to wall evil doers.














Of course if it WAS Ari who helped Gannon get into the White House.

Remember Arrogant Ari, the Nazi of News...who made us all shudder with the similarity to a Nazi
SS officer.












A credited reporter was dumped so a male prostitute could be given credentials to work in the White House.

He had carte blanche at all hours and stayed overnight on numerous occasions.

The liberal news media, dropped the story quicker than you could say "how much?"










After bilking the national treasury, laying waste to the world environment, coupled with starting an illegal, immoral war, complete with torture chambers worldwide... "W" has now turned his focus on AMERIKA.

The Global Glare on Bush


As Condi Rice trots all over the world making statements like "the United States does not torture"....

One has to marvel at how complete the disconnect is between REALITY (truth) and
the fabricated BUBBLE this administration isolates itself in (completely above the law).








Perhaps turning Kennebunkport into a Holocaust Museum in honor of the millions who have died to support it....
might be a start.

ESPECIALLY since the US National archives detail the Bush involvement in funding Hitler and profiting from Auschwitz.
(Including having companies "seized for trading with the enemy" - the American national pastime)





Ah the money laundering religious right of extremist hacks, here in all their glory.

Coulter is a replica of the women who loved Hitler,
verbatim - heck she could look herself up and find her replica as a Nazi prison camp guard at Ravensbruck.












OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD media.

Where the Bush CIA (within the CIA)
mainstream media, like Germany under fascism, was quick to hop in bed with Mugabe Bush.









But then when someone like Deferral Dick, can manage to LIE everytime he opens his mouth, then get angry and bully when he is not believed. Well, it merely exemplifies that the White House is under ORGANIZED CRIME.

Completely above the law, they are the PEOPLE OF THE LIE.

Where truth is an exception and God is always on their lips.

The Global Village may have to take on these thugs first in the WORLD COURT - clearly there is no law that applies to them in America

Protection or Pathological Lying?





Young Iraqi terrorist uses WMD on soldier.

More than half of Iraq's population of 38 million were children, thousands of whom have been made homeless orphans, many without limbs. They suffer horribly EVERYDAY, as they struggle on with no sewage system, no water, no parents, and little hope.










Negroponte - in charge of ALL US INTEL

http://www.soaw.org/new/newswire_detail.php?id=704

Excerpt from SOA watch (School of Americas, where the assassins of Salvadore Allende and Father Romaro were trained)

Originally published by The Nation - David Corn is the author.

Not only has Negroponte declined to acknowledge the obvious; when he was ambassador, the State Department rigged its Honduras human rights reports to Congress. As a 1995 Baltimore Sun series noted, "A comparison of the annual human rights reports prepared while Negroponte was ambassador with the facts as they were then known shows that Congress was deliberately misled." The Sun reported, "Time and again...Negroponte was confronted with evidence that a Honduran army intelligence unit, trained by the CIA, was stalking, kidnapping, torturing and killing suspected subversives." But this didn't make it into State Department reports. Had Honduras been found to be engaging in systematic abuses, it could have lost its US aid--thwarting the Reagan Administration's use of Honduras to support the contras. (more at above listed link)



Imperial domination of the world planned from pre WWII. American industry sold to Adolf Hitler throughout WWII, then imported Gestapo agents to work in the CIA after the war.

In southern USA the American army forced U.S. soldiers of color to WAIT on German prisoners of war.






Three million Vietnamese died of Agent Orange, Napalm, and other forms of wretched (chemical) bombing by the U.S.A.

There are more people incarcerated in the USA per capita than ANYWHERE in the world (where their labor is sold back to corporations - cheap).

Bush executed 150 HUMAN BEINGS in the State of Texas - more than any Governor in the history of the USA.




http://www.soaw.org/new/newswire_detail.php?id=704


Negroponte has claimed "there was no effort to soft pedal" abuses in Honduras. Yet in public statements he repeatedly conveyed a misleading appearance, and in the years since he has held tight--in the face of compelling evidence--to the view that the abuses that did occur were merely unfortunate exceptions. Negroponte's confirmation hearing will provide senators a chance to probe Bush's plans (or lack thereof) in Iraq. But if Negroponte's record as an abuse denier is not questioned, as seems likely, he will once again be able to escape his haunted past.

....

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation produced a special entitled "Where Are the Children", http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/cinemareal/where.html that addresses the capture and selling of children in South America throughout the Iran Contra affair. The CIA, working with Mr. Negroponte had locals trained at the School of Americas...who then worked for the CIA. Families throughout Bolivia, Chile, El Salvador - and the Honduras - ESPECIALLY if they were (are) poor - have had their children stolen and sold to families in the USA or to prostitution rings - a thriving trade that destroyed the entire fabric of poor indigenous families in South America. THIS is what the head of national intelligence of the USA is most known for, along with drug running and death squads - then altering reports to congress to cover his tracks.

An excerpt:

"Hundreds, if not thousands of children, were abducted in the chaos and fighting of El Salvador's civil war. They were put up for adoption around the world. Years passed, but many mothers and fathers refused to give up hope that they might be able to find their child out there somewhere. Now one priest has made it his mission to find the missing, and his organization is reuniting children with the biological families they didn't know they had.See the CBC News: Correspondent site for more information and link on this story. Joan Leishman, former CBC News correspondent for Latin America follows the detective work of Pro-Busqueda staffers as they travel to remote areas to question families, take DNA samples and psychologically prepare families for reunions. And she talks to Father Cortina about his work, his passion for El Salvador and his faith in the face of the evils he has witnessed.
...

Like the Bush family, Negroponte operates completely above International Law, American domestic law or the Geneva convention. He changes human rights reports with apparent impunity or simply lies without reprecussion. He too is clearly above the law.

For some in the world there are no laws, unfortunately those people have stolen the highest office in the land where they direct military contracts to the monopolistic corporate treason
controlling the world. They quite literally use us as slaves to fund their evil.

Writers Who Give Us Voice in Dark Times



Shauna Singh Baldwin is an acclaimed author, a former radio announcer, and one of the first women to take on the sport of polo in India.

A Giller nominee for her work based on the story of Noor Inayat Khan (code name Madeleine), a British secret service agent - The Tiger Claw.

Her web site http://www.shaunasinghbaldwin.com/
hosts a wealth of articles, books and even recipes from Shauna's delightful, mosaic - her life.

Here is a brief excerpt from an article entitled:

Writers in a Time of Terrorism
Speech delivered in Toronto
to The Writers’ Union of Canada, at its AGM.
May 2005.

I’m told writers have a unique role, in that we “speak truth to power.”

To that I say:

Some of us do, and some of us become bards for those who pay our bills or have the authority to help us get ahead. At Bleu-Met-Bleu in Montreal this year, Vladimir Tasic a writer who came here from the former Yugoslavia reminded me,

“yes many of us speak truth to power, but power doesn’t listen.”

If you ever have such thoughts, whisper this secret mantra: the world would be a far worse place if I stopped writing.

It’s often said that better writing comes out of oppression. But though I do want to write better, I would really prefer to work on it privately. There’s enough fear of penury associated with writing that we don’t crave more.

Worldwide, fascists – whom some call patriots – and fundamentalists whom some call conservatives, are at war. They are laying seige to our compassion for those not of our tribe, the very compassion that expresses our common humanity. The Handmaid's Tale solution – personal escape into the mountains – is no option. Film and TV cannot help us enter other minds. Only writers can offer a simulation of other points of view, and the sound of someone else’s voice in our heads. We must engage more, not less. I predict writers will be at the forefront of the battle for compassion – it just goes with the territory.

Here is an excerpt from the article "An Assignment For You "

TODAY’S ASSIGNMENT, A Prescription From Dr. E.

I assign you to be a beautiful, good, kind, awakened, soulful person, a true work of art as we say, ser humano, a true human being. In a world filled with so much darkness, such a soul shines like gold; can be seen from a far distance; is dramatically different.

Want to help? Show your deepest most divine self to the world. There is nothing more rare, more strange, more needed. Why would you wait? Not worthy? Oh piffle. Not ready? Okay, so when? Next lifetime? Don't be silly with me about this. Inferiority complex? Okay, let me put it this way to you: you're not good enough to think you're not good enough. And you can quote me to yourself whenever you have need... Dr. E. said so.

Have you forgotten that you made promises to your Beloved before you ever came to earth? The time to fulfill these is truly now. You want to cease feeling helpless, and you want to help the aching world? Serve someone and something. Everyone on earth serves someone and something. This means being your truest self now, fulfilling the promises you made to heaven long ago.

Anything you do from the soulful self will help lighten the burdens of the world. Anything. You have no idea what the smallest word, the tiniest generosity can cause to be set in motion. Be outrageous in forgiving. Be dramatic in reconciling. Mistakes? Back up and make them as right as you can, then move on. Be off the charts in kindness. In whatever you are called to, strive to be devoted to it in all aspects large and small. Fall short? Try again. Mastery is made in increments, not in leaps. Be brave, be fierce, be visionary. Mend the parts of the world that are "within your reach." To strive to live this way is the most dramatic gift you can ever give to the world.

Consider yourselves assigned.
No lack of love, tu abuelita, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D.

A Blessing - May You Know Your "I"


A dear soul sent me some older magazines she had been saving and this wonderful blessing was enclosed.

I was so touched by it I wanted to share it with the world, since - in a way - it is from all of us to one another.


Our Lady of Guadeloupe is included as the archetypal image of the Mother Earth.









I am the one whose praise echoes on high
I adorn all the earth
I am the breeze that nurtures all things green
I encourage blossoms to flourish with ripening fruits
I am led by the spirit to feed the purest streams
I am the rain coming from the dew
that causes the grasses to laugh with the joy of life.
I am the yearning for good.


Hildegard of Bingen


When Only the LIE is Allowed

Guido Gonzales - see Harpers - Texas Clemency memos.
150 people were put to death in Texas thanks to this man.
His final reading in each case did not even include the position of the prisoner - thus making the decision directed toward one conclusion. THIS is American justice under this man.



Homeland SECURITY another oxymoron and monstrosity for money laundering. The patriotic title is right out of Nazi Germany.

Protecting the Homeland against "x" terrorists...was the cry of Adolf Hitler.








Condi blatently lies throughout the world.

Er, doll....has anyone told you the photographs of what the USA does to people in custody are ALL OVER THE WORLD. Including the abuse (rape, molestation of CHILDREN?)






Come tip toe through the corporate criminal negligence called treason with me. I can do anything. I am completely above the law.

Dad buys me whatever I want...and what he doesn't buy

YOU DO. So sure I'll hold your hand.

Heck suitcases full of cash for Iran Contra, me, and the family,
we will do ANYTHING for you. You paid the price.

Besides what you and Bandar know could put us all away for a very l-ong time.


You might want to check out some facts and truth at web sites all around the world. This is one of about 5 million that came up today outlining 9/11 - Made in the USA
http://www.waronfreedom.org/newrels.html

9-11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA

by Webster Griffin Tarpley, Terrorism Expert

This book provides an urgent answer to the failure of the US intelligence agencies, the Congressional Joint Inquiry, and the Kean-Hamilton 9-11 Commission to discover the basic facts in the September 2001 terror attacks. The author starts from the official myth of 9-11 - nineteen Arab hijackers, al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, the laptop in the cave in Afghanistan - and shows how this myth was fabricated during the ten days after 9-11 by media leaks from George Tenet and Richard Clarke, remarks by Colin Powell, and Bush's September 20 address to Congress. In the meantime, each of these figures has been repeatedly caught blatantly lying about Iraq and other subjects, and it is high time their lies about 9-11 be exposed. After a reality check to establish that no proof for the official account of 9-11 has ever been forthcoming, the author develops a theory of international terrorism based on the experience of the Kennedy assassination, the Red Brigades, the Baader-Meinhof group, and other recent cases.International terrorism - including 9-11 - is overwhelmingly the product of intelligence agencies, he argues, pointing out the roles of patsies and fall-guys, of networks of moles inside the government and the media, of anonymous professionals who actually carry out the atrocities the public sees, and of secret command cells in privatized paramilitary settings. Using this framework, Tarpley proceeds to analyze a score of points at which the official account of 9-11 is absurd, contradictory, highly suspicious, or just physically impossible. Answering objections, the author shows that such vital ideas in American history as the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's House Divided Speech, and the 1860 Republican Party platform would be classified as conspiracy theories by the self-appointed neocon guardians of orthodoxy today. Tarpley outlines the long history of terrorism as a tool to manipulate public opinion in favor of war and dictatorship, from Guy Fawkes to the Maine to Operation Northwoods. Through his famous spot resolutions which rejected the Polk administration's official account of the outbreak of the Mexican War, the figure of Abraham Lincoln emerges to exemplify the classical American demand for truth and rejection of government manipulation. The book concludes with a survey of the November 2004 presidential election in the U.S. and the geopolitical struggle between U.S. expansionist neo-cons and the Russian federation; it is the first book to place 9/11 within an ongoing Cold War context. Release: April 28, 2005
Webster Griffin Tarpley is an activist and historian best known for his George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography (1992), which has become an underground classic on the internet at www.tarpley.net. An expert on international terrorism with decades of experience, he directed the study Chi ha ucciso Aldo Moro? (Who Killed Aldo Moro?), which was commissioned by a member of the Italian government and published in Rome in 1978. He also co-authored American Leviathan: Administrative Fascism Under the Bush Regime (1991), which identified many tendencies which have become prominent today, and Surviving the Cataclysm (1999), an analysis of the world financial crisis. Against Oligarchy, a collection of his essays and speeches, appeared on the internet in 1996.

Stop the Republican Pedophile Patriarchy



Rummie ordering his military stud videos from Abu Gharib, personally taking time to direct how long people should be forced to stand in uncomfortable positions and lord knows what else.





Likely Jeff could tell us since he has a l-ong affiliation with the Republican party and in particular the Bush's.

His name has cropped up in regard to a pedophile ring (into which he is suspected to have been abducted during Bush Srs. reign) - now again
in this Bush league White House, where he had carte blanche, at all hours to all staff. Now why would that be?







His mother claims this is the same boy - man.









An AMERICAN military "preparation for interrogation" of prisoners in Iraq.

A Pictorial Summary of the Week





As Bush's illegal directive to spy on Americans was made public, many more are seeing the truth.















The program we would ALL like to see.

Can you imagine how refreshing it would be to hear someone speak the bloody truth on CNN.

Gawd. Larry and his soft ball questions.
Bush Senior was having breakfast with the Bin Laden Group at the Ritz Carlton, when the WTC was hit. At that moment their profits in oil,
and Carlyle Inc - went through the ceiling.
Larry always hands Bush Sr. some softball question that allows him to deflect from where he really was.




Gonzales - war criminal under the articles of Nuremberg, and the Geneva Convention.




The plan Hitler's mob had to fly a plane into American skyscrapers. Hmm..all those Nazis Dad recruited for the CIA...??








Well, you know George he is such a fun guy. He just wanted to cover for ol Zar while on his last turkey tote to Iraq.

Gotta keep the Muslims whipped up against one another so a civil war will start and then lord knows when the USA can leave...eh?

MANY Iraqis believe the CIA is behind the bombings and deliberately whips up conflict between the Sunnis and the Shites.



Ol George has a lot in common with the Taliban, more than is published that is for sure.

"much of what we just witnessed [in the US 2000 Presidential election] not only matches historical examples from the CIA's past history of election rigging and outright overthrows, but can be found in a respected coup 'manual' authored by a one-time advisor to President Reagan....

Whatever his strengths might be, no one seriously believes that George W. Bush has the acuity or connections necessary to plan... well anything, really. Although he was conspicuously absent throughout the entire [2000 election] campaign, it goes without saying that GW's secret patrone was one of the best in the biz: his father, George Herbert Walker Bush.... As the first director (DCI) of the CIA to be elected President, not to forget (or belittle) his eight-year tenure as VP, GHW Bush's crimes are now legendary. Over the years he formulated, directed and otherwise facilitated brutal guerilla wars, coups, death squads, propaganda operations, money laundering, assassinations 8 , and drug smuggling 9 . And that's just for starters. Most importantly in our context, GHW Bush has a documented history of using former and active-duty CIA agents in election campaigns... the most important one is still remembered today as 'The October Surprise.' 14 .... In exchange for holding the [American] hostages until after the election [when President Carter lost the Presidency to the Reagan-Bush campaign after failing to negotiate the hostages' release before polling day, nlpwessex], the Reagan-Bush team offered the Iranians millions of dollars in arms, material, and other considerations. Sure enough, the hostages were held until minutes after Reagan's inauguration, then 'suddenly' released. Bush and Casey personally participated in the secret negotiations. James Baker, who would be Reagan's chief of staff and Bush's Sec. of State, was also involved....."COUP 2K by JOHN DEEPublished in Lumpen, Jan. 2001

World to US PEOPLE - It is TIME to Stand






9/11 is an INSIDE JOB paralleling the Reichstag Fire set by Hitler's mob (who also happened to be funded by Prescott Bush, grandfather GWB).












Guido Gonzales the mob man in charge of the AG, who finds the Geneva convention "quaint" and did not bother to place an argument FOR the prisoner in his infamous Texas Clemency memos that helped GWB put over 150 people to DEATH in Texas.


Loud, lying, lecherous, obnoxious O'Reilly - the epitomy of everything you do NOT want your kid to be - spews hatred from sun up until sun down.

Bush's favorite station.

Whose side are THEY on...they seem to hate more than half of America.






This insufferable little man, has used our community to promote hatred, mis-information and generally distract from the overall criminality of their pedophile ring, drug running administration.

While the likes of Gannon walk about the White House,
this puerile pimp of propaganda, has copied the strategy of Adolf Hitler - VERBATIM.

Is the public talking about the pedophile ring connection through Gannon - then attack gay marriage through the paid off media.

Karl is so effective for destroying all hope that humankind might be evolving.


Do Americans wonder why they hear about the evil scourge of communism...but not so much about fascism?

I guess we all know why. The U.S. National archives (search under "who funded Hitler") host the proof that the Bush family and numerous American CORPORATIONS profited through trade, funding the Nazis AND off the SLAVE CAMPS.

Not much has changed since that period of time because none of the Americans were ever brought to justice for treason. So on the surface we have the democracy spin, while in South America they had the bullets, the rape, sodomy and torture (right out of the School of Americas). Then thirty years of military rule under Pinochet in Chile ...and children all over South America have disappeared..heck Mr. Negroponte adopted FIVE himself... they just seemed to pop up FOR SALE as part of the Iran Contra charge in South America.

Rise to your promise America, each heart must stand in personal integrity and say "no more, not now, not ever" - it is time. It is time to TELL these monsters that they are under arrest for treason, abuse of power, and crimes against humanity. The WORLD has had it.

These lying, facile, facades of human beings are a disgrace to humanity and an example of how organized crime operates above the law in the USA . Unchecked, unbalanced, and unreported.

14 points of fascism under george bush in the united states wake up and smell the fascism
In "Fascism Anyone?," Laurence Britt identifies 14 characteristics common to fascist regimes. His comparisons of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet yielded this list of 14 "identifying characteristics of fascism."
Download the informative trifold pamphlet of these 14 points in .pdf format here (right click, save target as)
1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.



and let's not forget the failed "Bring 'em on!"
Headstones of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are inscribed with the Pentagons war-marketing slogans
September 11 = Party time with country superstar Clint Black! Bring your coolers and sparklers! All lovingly sponsored by the Department of Defense, Lockheed Martin, and Subway restaurant
American Nation Brainwashed: I spoke to some 2,000 students during their annual lecture at a Baptist college in Pennsylvania. After a short prayer service for peace centered on the Beatitudes, I took the stage and got right to the point. “Now let me get this straight,” I said. “Jesus says, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’ which means he does not say, ‘Blessed are the warmakers,’ - With that, the place exploded, and 500 students stormed out. The rest of them then started chanting, “Bush! Bush! Bush!” Some may remember Duce! Duce! Duce! -ed.
2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
The Frontline program "The Torture Question" Watch it online
Republicans kill defense spending bill because McCain Amendment prohibits "cruel, degrading and inhuman treatment"
Bush threatens to veto $442b defense bill if Congress investigates detainee abuses.
"For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously.": Bush calls Amnesty International's "gulag" report absurd (three times in two sentences)
Guantanamo Judge: “I don’t care about international law. I don’t want to hear the words ‘international law’ again. We are not concerned with international law.”
Rumsfeld to approve new guidelines that will formalize the administration's policy of imprisoning without the protections of the Geneva Conventions and enable the Pentagon to legally hold "ghost detainees,"
US 'preparing to detain terror suspects for life without trial'
U.S. oks evidence gained through torture.

3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4.) Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5.) Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
It's legal again, to fire gov't workers for being gay
Bush calls for Constitutional ban on same-sex marriages

6.) Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
Smoking Gun Memo? Iraq Bombshell Goes Mostly Unreported in US Media
Report shows U.S. government has been engaged in illegal propaganda aimed at its own citizens and the story gets only 41 mentions in the media

More...
8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
Jerry Falwell cleared of charges that he broke federal election law by urging followers to vote for Bush

9.) Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
The K Street Project is a project by the Republican party to pressure Washington lobbying firms to hire Republicans in top positions, and to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with access to influential officials. It was launched in 1995, by Republican strategist Grover Norquist and House majority leader Tom DeLay.

10.) Labor Power is Suppressed
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
Schwarzenegger steps up attacks on labor unions in California
Labor Department warns unions against using their money politically
Organized labor locks horns with White House
President Bush Attacks Organized Labor Bush attacked organized labor Saturday, issuing orders effectively reducing how much money unions can spend for political activities and opening up government contracts to non-union bidding.

Congress and the Department of Labor are trying to change the rules on overtime pay, eliminating the 40 hour work week, taking eligibility for overtime pay away from millions of workers, and replacing time and a half pay with comp days.
11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
Bush's new economic plan cuts funding for arts, education
Artists from all over the world are being refused entry to the US on security grounds.

'The Republican War on Science' explains how conservatives undermine science by whipping up controversy and manipulating the media.
More...
12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations
America: secret jails, secret courts, secret arrests, and now secret laws
House votes to make PATRIOT ACT permanent
Snitch-or-Go-to-Jail bill will make pretty much anything short of reporting on everyone you see for doing just about anything a jailable offense. With minimum sentences, up to and including life without parole.

The problem with Gonzales is that he has been deeply involved in developing some of the most sweeping claims of near-dictatorial presidential power in our nation's history, allowing him to imprison and even (at least in theory) torture anyone in the world, at any time
Police officers don't have to give a reason at the time they arrest someone, the U.S. Supreme Court said in a ruling that shields officers from false-arrest lawsuits.
More...
13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
Bush Cronyism: Foxes Guarding the henhouse
If Bush's pick is confirmed, that will mean the five top appointees at Justice have zero prosecutorial experience among them.
Iran-Contra Felons Get Good Jobs from Bush

US Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) lost track of $9 billion
"Contracting in the aftermath of the hurricanes has been marked by waste, corruption and cronyism"
More...
14. Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Powerful Government Accounting Office report confirms key 2004 stolen election findings
Conyers hearing in which Clinton Curtis testifies that he was hired to create hackable voting machines (.wmv)
The Republican Party has quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide private defense lawyers for a former Bush campaign official charged with conspiring to keep Democrats from voting in New Hampshire.

No explanation for the machines in Mahoning County that recorded Kerry votes for Bush, the improper purging in Cuyahoga County, the lock down in Warren County, the 99% voter turnout in Miami County, the machine tampering in Hocking County
Less access than Kazakhstan. Fewer fail-safes than Venezuela. Not as simple Republic of Georgia. The 2004 Elections according to international observers.
This picture is what stopped the ballot recounts in Florida shortly after it seemed that legitimate President Gore had a lead. The "citizens" started what was later called "the preppy riot". Screaming, yelling, pounding on the walls, these "outraged citizens" intimidated the polling officials to halt the court mandated recount. A closer look reveals who they really were. They were bussed and flown in at Republican lawmakers expense. Some even flew in on Tom Delay's private plane.

Fascists and False Prophets Rule the USA

In 2004 Common Dreams, Guy Reel - Neo Cons are just Con men...

The stepford women (below) - act like someone after three martinis - mean, vicious, coupled with vacuous and facile. What wonderful role models.


http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0729-07.htm
Guy Reel - Common Dreams 2004


when did the nastiness in today's politics begin and whose fault is it? The "conservative" commentator said it was because of Democrats' behavior during the not-pretty Robert Bork confirmation hearings; the "liberal" said it happened when Newt Gingrich made political disagreements personal in the 1990s.

They're both wrong. It happened with the rise of Rush Limbaugh and the hundreds of Limbaugh drones on local talk radio stations across the country. They are loud, they are mean, and they never cease. They even go on at night; some of the most outrageous lunatics you've ever heard are on your local radio dials well into the wee hours. And they are given national platforms for their endless, paranoid propaganda.

Often they just spew outright lies. Other times they will commit logical fallacies - grossly mischaracterizing their opponents' positions, then arguing against those mischaracterizations (a favorite tactic of the Bush campaign's attack machine against John Kerry). Usually they will offer little analysis, just condemnation and hatred for anyone who doesn't share their views.
They villify anyone who disagrees with them. They attack our morality, our humanity. Then they accuse us of doing that to them.





At Nuremberg - Goebbels and his right wing, hate spreading propaganda machine were sentenced -

so should the American puerile propaganda machine
be prosecuted. Abuse of public air waves, spreading hatred and lies ... IN THE NAME OF GOD, no less.

The world is tired of their constant, lying, static polluting the air waves of the earth.






Left to Right (no pun intended)

Mentally disturbed - Ann Coulter

IMUS - we are not sure where the hell he is -
is he in his body?

O'Reilly - your Fundamentalist, Orthodox,
Xenophobe put out by puerile FOX
the fascist broadcasting service from Australia

After that they just blend into one ten year old boy (immature, dysfunctional ten year old boy...mostly a pack animal looking to see what the leader is doing so he can wag his tail and run after for approval...assuming they have "bought-in" to the TV news any one of them is "manufacturing" )

....

More from Common Dreams link above:

They villify anyone who disagrees with them. They attack our morality, our humanity. Then they accuse us of doing that to them.

And that is their dirty little secret: A popular ruse of propagandists is to accuse their opponents of doing exactly what they're doing. It keeps the opponent on the defensive; it doesn't matter if it's a lie.

Thus we hear or see:

* Limbaugh telling millions of self-proclaimed "dittoheads" that it is actually Democrats who don't think for themselves;

* Bush accusing Kerry of running a negative campaign when Bush has cheapened his office and the incumbency by offering nothing but pathological criticism of Kerry, with no justifications for his own policies;

* A Republican Party obscenely accusing Kerry of an "extreme makeover" when the GOP candidate claims he's a war president one day and a peace president the next - and that he's compassionate and not a divider;

* Conservative talk-mongers claiming Democrats are full of hate while they accuse Democrats of treason and immorality;

* Radio blowhards calling Democrats the party of the elites when it is the elite Republicans who are profiting from the greatest imbalance of wealth and power in our nation's history;

* Republicans accusing Democrats of not supporting the troops, then chuckling as their president cuts benefits for veterans;

* Rightist politicians claiming Democrats are tax-happy, when it is their policies that have solidified tax increases for generations;

* The same politicians claiming Democrats are fiscally irresponsible, when in the last three years the GOP has presided over increased budgets, government and pork like pigs to the trough;

* Radio commentators consulting their talking-points memos to help them lie about Democrats' willingness to fight terrorism - when the Republicans let the murderer Osama bin Laden walk free while they fought a war that had nothing to do with 9/11;

* Party spokesman questioning the patriotism of John Kerry - when Bush avoided real service while Kerry risked his own life to save his men when he hunted down and killed an enemy gunner in Vietnam.

In short, they're not neo-cons, they're con men. They're what a friend calls the "rightie-tighties." They don't speak for America. They are the elite, speaking for more wealth and power for the elitists.

Of course, I don't have to listen to it. I can change my radio dial. But that doesn't stop the talk; it just stops me from hearing it. I'd rather hear it to know what the enemies of America are saying, so I can fight back against it.
