Fascists & False Prophets - American Treason

Pat Robertson's Katrina Cash
Max Blumenthal

Every cloud has a silver lining. Hurricane Katrina has devastated New Orleans, leaving thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless, and plunging the entire city into chaos. In the hurricane's wake, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its director, Michael Brown, forced out of his former job at the International Arabian Horse Association, with no credentials in disaster relief, have become targets of withering criticism. Yet FEMA's relief efforts have brought considerable assistance to at least one man who stands to benefit from Hurricane Katrina perhaps more than any other individual: Pat Robertson


The 911 Commission ..about as effective as the Warren Commission coverup of the Kennedy assassination.

Chair of the 9/11 comission, Kean, was on the board of Amoco with a member of the Bin Laden family.





Tom Delay , gerrymandered Texas and turned congress into a bada bing money laundry for the religious right, who may represent a religion but certainly not NOT God.


The Christian Coalition is a fascist group, listed in the top ten fascist organizations of the world.

They are sexist, racist, and homophobic with an orchestrated campaign of terror against our community.


With the Bush Administration's approval, Robertson's $66 million relief organization, Operation Blessing, has been prominently featured on FEMA's list of charitable groups accepting donations for hurricane relief. Dozens of media outlets, including the New York Times, CNN and the Associated Press, duly reprinted FEMA's list, unwittingly acting as agents soliciting cash for Robertson. "How in the heck did that happen?" Richard Walden, president of the disaster-relief group Operation USA, asked of Operation Blessing's inclusion on FEMA's list. "That gives Pat Robertson millions of extra dollars."

...THAT honey, is not only a violation of religious freedom (who says the tax payer wants to give money to these clowns) it is fascism.

It's ALL Fascism: Christian, Islamic, Zionist - GET REAL

John Ashcroft set the stage when he used public funding to drape the statues of justice. Such a sense of entitlement from someone who could not win an election over a dead man, but clearly had the qualifications to be Attorney General under the Bush Occupation.



Katherine Harris another facsimile of a human being.

Where is her heart, her integrity, her character?
Bin Laden didn't pass the Patriot Act, gut the American middle class, or open American borders to cheap SLAVE labor.
Is THIS Islamo fascism? The Iraqis did NOT attack the USA and they are still under occupation and tortured as a matter of "policy".

For what ? The sick fantasies of Rumsfeld? Bush? Negroponte? Kissinger?


THIS is fascism: flag pledges, blind fanatic nationalism, blind obedience to a dictator, who constantly abuses the very public he claims to represent.

Get REAL Rummie, and quit patornizing us. We KNOW what fascism is and suggest you sir, look in the damn mirror.

Rumsfeld - the Nazi in the Mirror is You

Neo Cons base their rigid right wing mantra on the teachings of Leo Strauss. Strauss taught that most people were too stupid to govern themselves and so required the rule of an elite.

This administration has some gall calling anyone else a Nazi sympathizer, when the Bush family had companies "seized for trading with the enemy" THROUGHOUT WWII.




Ol Rummie making a mint on tragedy - his life.



Fascist Fox - deserves a class action suit for treason. They are nothing but a platform for Fascist Orthodox Xenophobia





















The question that hangs in the air is how did this society produce the people and circumstances in which such orders could be given and carried out? It is exactly the same question that Germany had to face after 1945 but from this perspective the US seems poorly equipped educationally or morally to face it.
http://www.counterpunch.org/colm05132004.html

The addition of a personal sadistic and sexual element to the degradation makes it utterly clear what the torturers thought of their prisoners and of Arabs generally. And where did they develop that view of Arabs and Iraqis whom they were telling the rest of the world they were liberating from degradation and torture?
http://www.counterpunch.org/colm05132004.html

...

The USA and Israel, have opted out of International Court, defied the rules of the Geneva convention, attempted to systematically destroy the UN and today Donald Rumsfeld insulted the majority of the world by stating that those who disagree with his policy are equivalent to Nazi sympathizers.

Gee wrongo Donny baby that would put them in total agreement with you (being a nazi sympathizer that is) and I cannot think of many human beings who do agree with you on much of anything.

Why is it that in a country of over 240 million people, that Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are involved in every war. Heck Lynn Cheney sat on the board of Lockheed Martin for 16 years, while contract after contract went their way. Now Dick is paid millions and contracts are directed to Halliburton with great entitlement, like who are "we" to question their holy hubris.

Rumsfeld the Nazi in the mirror is you, and we are quite tired of your sick projection of paranoid, fear driven drivel on the world - begone reptilian scourge of a being, be gone.

On behalf of Mother Earth and Father Sky - resign Rumsfeld...and pu-lease no self pitying, Tom Delay speeches, for once - just go.

Let It Start With Us - Hold the Bastards Accountable

No one more exemplifies this criminal patronizing patriarchy than self righteous, crook Tom Delay. Former leader of the RNC he has been forced to resign, one small step in a sea of Neo Con Nazis bent on bilking the nation dry while enslaving, starving or generally abusing the balance (the majority) of the population who disagree with them.


While a fascist Australian controls US media from stem to stern, FOX (Fascist Orthodox Xenophobia) on demand in goosestep with the "White" House Neo Cons, whose entire agenda is that of totalitarian fascism, with global firms controlling the world.




While unaccountable GWB, the spoiled not terribly bright, narcissistic, psychopathic son of a Nazi family projects his sick paranoia on the world.

Oil pumps over swaztikas ...gee this could be the next Canada - USA border display, but then I understand that Fox, Martin and Bush signed an agreement making us all one big country - but the news media didn't think it was a story. Of course congress was not consulted, nor was Canadian parliament.

...still think we live in a democracy (on either side of the border?)
It was said of the Reagan administration that everything was spin. NOTHING was policy, it was all spin.

The American male, "the Daddy Party"

modeling daily for the children and the world.

Aggregate The Travesties to Hold Bush and Cheney Responsible
by Ralph Nader

What will it take for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney to be held responsible for a multitude of political crimes, recklessness, prevarications and just plain massive ongoing mismanagement of the taxpayers government?

The first step is to aggregate these travesties so they add up to a more comprehensive judgment. Then, together they confront us with an awful truth - that our present system of constitution, law and checks and balances have failed to be invoked by the elected and appointed officials of our Congress and our Courts. This is happening even though the polls have been dropping on the Bush regime for over a year and are now quite negative on many important questions.

Consider the following sample of irresponsibility and flouting of the law and then ask yourself how much more will it take to start holding the Bush/Cheney crowd of serial fibbers and dictacrats accountable? Is there ever to be a tipping point in the Washington world of spineless Democrats and supine Congressional Republicans worried about Bush losing the 2006 elections?

The drug benefit boondoggle, starting January 1, 2006, has been by all reports maelstrom of confusion, deprivation, gouging and misadministration, leaving many sick people in a frightening limbo. That is Bushland messing up big time while giving the gouging, long-subsidized profit-glutted drug companies hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade paid by the taxpayer.
Katrina! The breaching of the levees was predicted at least over a year before and warned about just before the Hurricane hit by federal officials but ignored by the Administration. Bush's godliness complex let him give the public the impression that the destruction was an unavoidable Act of God, when it was an avoidable disaster of Bush. The White House earlier had cut the Army Corps of Engineers budget designed for hurricane defense in New Orleans. The Corps itself is not blameless, but its commander in chief is, after all, George W. Bush.
Bush-Cheney plunged our country into an endless war-quagmire in Iraq on an often repeated platform of falsehoods, cover-ups and deliberate distractions from the ignored necessities here at home. Tens of thousands of Americans have lost their lives, their limbs or their health over there and casualties of innocent Iraqi adults and children are much more numerous.

Already costing hundreds of billions of dollars, the mismanagement of this war of choice is the material of hundreds of Pentagon audits, Congressional reports, official admissions, firsthand press reports and Congressional condemnations by the respected Government Accountability Office (GAO)."Iraq Rebuilding Badly Hobbled", U.S. Report finds, "is a recent front page headline in /The New York Times /- one of many such headlines in recent months. The corporate contractors, such as Halliburton, will set records for waste and worse as the facts spill out to the people.
The impeachable George W. Bush imperiously asserts that he will continue to violate federal law and place the American people under any surveillance that he chooses to impose without ever using a Congressionally approved procedure which requiresfor a quick and secret court warrant that is even permitted to be retroactive.He and his pitchmen claim that they are pursuing terrorists. But the National Security Agency's (NSA) electronic dragnets are enveloping millions of people, flooding the FBI with what that agency says is mountains of indiscriminate undigested data that are useless.
Besides, as of the end of 2004, Bush and John Ashcroft, his then Attorney General had arrested 5000 people on suspicion of terrorism, jailed them, most without charges, and then proceeded to strike out. Two were convicted and the convictions were overturned in Michigan. The Bush scorecard, according to Georgetown Law professor David Cole was 0 for 5000! Does this record qualify for chronic abuse of legal process or is it just sloppy law enforcement designed to produce political press releases?
Bush pumps "the ownership society" and opposes attempts to give investors the power that should accrue to them as owners over the self-enriching managers of the giant corporations. As a result, big time corporate executives keep vastly overpaying themselves, through their rubber-stamp Boards of Directors (starting at $7200 an hour in 2002 and upward for the CEOs of the top 300 corporations). Warren Buffet called runaway executive compensation and stock options a central cause of cooking corporate books and undermining jobs and their own companies' financial stability.
Cutting life-sustaining programs for needy children, sick adults and regulatory health-safety protections for most Americans while reducing the taxes of the richest one percent, including his own and Cheney's taxes, invites Biblical condemnation. He has left many Americans defenseless from preventable hazards here at home, while he plays the providential Viceroy of Iraq. At the same time, Bush's forked tongue touts "the safety of the American people" as his highest responsibility.
He encumbers young children with taxes (who will have to pay the debt) through massive federal deficits brought about significantly by huge numbers of corporate handouts, giveaways, subsidies and tax escapism. That's one way of leaving children behind.
Mismangement and underfunding implode his educational distraction called No Child Left Behind. Just ask the Republican state of Utah or millions of teachers beset with constant, vapid standardized multiple choice tests created by corporate consultants.
He huffs and puffs about spreading democracies around the world while condoning and encouraging the shipment of whole American industries and jobs to the communist Chinese dictatorship, and other dictatorships on which he continues to lavish such globalized policies.
However, his boomeranging foreign policy may yet turn him into an unintended patron saint of elected Islamic theocracies.
These and many other documentations of his tortured tenure can demonstrate what their aggregation can contribute to motivate the American people toward holding him and Cheney accountable to them under the rule of law. But don't count on the Democrats leading. They blew another election - Congressional and Presidentially - against the worst Republicans in American history.
Aggregation, my fellow citizens, is up to your independent minds and judgments to absorb and act upon.
For a sample of aggregation, see DemocracyRising.us.

The Criminalization of American Justice, Or - You Bet Your Ass I Am Angry

Not since WWII and the rise of Hitler have we seen such sanctioned national stupidity. Yet we are told these are the "elite" who need to lead us.
A "president" placed first by a corrupt Supreme Court and then by a Diebold.

Thanks corporate news they could not achieve this treason without your help.

Perhaps it is time to start a class action suit against the criminally negligent "Jon Bonet" fabricated news,
because very few of us trust a single word from "the most trusted name in news."

Meanwhile, a known pedophile has managed to manipulate the system in plain view of the world, flying business class to what most of us believed to be a bogus media circus, to distract from the ever growing list of criminal acts committed by the Bush administration and by mr. Bush himself.

Robbin' Hood From a Long Line of Bush Barbarians

Bush - The Dyslexic Robin Hood
by roseeriter

Wed Mar 16, 2005 at 01:48:24 AM PDT

"Taking from the poor and giving to the rich"

"The results of these and many more instances of "reverse RobinHoodism" (taking from the poor and giving to the rich), are clearly manifested in the wealth distribution in the United States. Thirty years ago, one percent of the U. S. households owned about twenty percent of the national wealth, and a typical CEO of a large corporation earned forty times as much as the average worker. Today, that one percent owns about half of the national wealth, and that same typical CEO is paid five hundred times as much as his worker. To put that number in perspective, this means that the CEO earns, in half a day, the annual salary of his median worker. As a result of the Bush policies, that trend can only accelerate."
...

"Social Democratic Morality," expressed in a political system best described by Abraham Lincoln as a "government of the people, by the people and for the people."
It is a government constrained by the rule of law to which all citizens, including the President and his Administration, must submit. It is a government, the policies, rules and legislation of which are designed to result in the greatest good for the greatest number in a regime of "equal justice under law." It is a government that acknowledges and protects such public goods as a clean environment, wild places, civic pride, public safety, and free association. And it is a government that proclaims that economic prosperity is cooperative achievement of workers and investors, as well as educators, researchers, and government.

George Bush has said that he wants to run the government like a business. He has achieved his objective, for although Bush was allegedly "elected" as President of all the people, Bush, Inc. is in effect, less a government than it is a vast holding company. The firm's executive officers are Bush, Cheney, and the Bush Cabinet. The Board of Directors are the Republican Party and the GOP Congressional leadership. The stockholders are the contributors to the Republican campaigns. The "accounts receivable" to the firm are the federal tax revenues from 280 million American citizens, who receive, in return, poor if any government services. Finally, the product of Bush, Inc., is regulatory relief, legislation, and government contracts, all designed to benefit the stockholders.



Bush, Inc. is a truly remarkable accomplishment. Here is a system that deliberately and systematically extracts wealth from the vast majority of citizens that produce that wealth, as it simultaneously withdraws public services from those citizens.





The degradation of the natural environment adversely affects every citizen. The ill-gained windfall profits from relaxation of environmental regulation and enforcement, benefits the privileged few.

USA - Unaccountable Slime of America

We Must Hold the Scoundrels Accountable
by Paul Craig Roberts

The BBC reports that two former British government employees have been charged with violating the Official Secrets Act.
The Official Secrets Act is useful for protecting the British government from accountability. ..

The British government knew in advance that the invasion was wrong. Members of the British cabinet were concerned that British participation in an act of naked aggression would expose British government officials to war crimes charges. Nevertheless, Blair insisted that the UK had to support Bush. Little doubt but Blair was concerned that otherwise his political retirement would not be secured with U.S. corporate directorships.ernment officials can be charged under the act.
...
As the publication by the London Times (May 1, 2005) of the super secret Downing Street Memo (July 23, 2002) made clear, prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the head of British intelligence returned from meetings in Washington to tell the British cabinet that the Bush administration first made the decision to invade Iraq and then manufactured the "intelligence" to justify the decision.

Consequently, the U.S. and UK governments invaded a country for reasons that were different from the fabricated reasons used to make the case to the public. Thus did the highest officials in the two governments commit a plethora of crimes.

Under the Nuremberg standard, it is a war crime to initiate military aggression.

When the International Court indicated the USA would be required to rebuild the country of Nicaraugua, and that Henry Kissinger was wanted as a war criminal for his part in the genocide of South America, Bush pulled the USA from Intl Court.





It is a criminal act both in the U.S. and the UK to commit military forces to action under false pretenses.

Many aspects of the conduct of the war are criminal. Torture, murder of civilians, corruption in contracts. Prosecutors could build a list of charges against President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Prime Minister Blair.

... and yes there is a God,

The prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, has announced the formation of a new grand jury to continue the investigation of illegal acts by Bush administration high officials.
...

The worst transgression was the Bush administration's decision to deceive our nation in order to use a war in Iraq to pursue an undeclared agenda in the Middle East. Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld committed treason. They still have not told us the real reason they were so determined to invade Iraq that they used falsified intelligence to justify a war of aggression. We must find out their real agenda and hold them fully accountable for their crimes.

9/11 An Inside Job? Who Knows?

A group of 9/11 widows are demanding a full and independent investigation into the crimes of September 11th after new allegations reveal that the Kean 9/11 Commission suspected that they were being deceived by the Pentagon. The 9/11 widows released a withering statement criticizing the Kean Commission for not properly investigating the attack from all angles:

Recent stories in the Washington Post, the New York Times, as well as the release of the transcripts of the NORAD tapes in Vanity Fair, clearly show that the 9/11 Commission failed in its duties," says the widows' statement.

"Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate," reported Dan Eggan for The Washington Post.


"As one of its last acts before disbanding, in July 2004, the 9/11 commission made referrals to the inspector general's offices of both the Department of Transportation (which includes the F.A.A.) and the Defense Department to further investigate whether witnesses had lied," wrote Michael Bronner for Vanity Fair.

...
Furthermore, the lack of tenacity and curiosity, by the Commissioners themselves, to determine why NORAD had deceived them is unconscionable," the statement continues. "Knowing full well that the lack of military response was such a critical failure, begs the question of whether that same lack of tenacity and curiosity was applied to other critical areas of the 9/11 investigation."

...The 9/11 Widows have exposed a progressive crumbling of the official story. ...

The 9/11 Commission looks increasingly like part of a massive coverup. The Commission knew that they were being lied to by somebody, but did they bother to follow up and demand the truth? According to the Washington Post, they dithered about it for awhile and then passed the buck:

...
Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission, hoping to hide the bungled response to the hijackings, these sources said.

http://weblog.timoregan.com/2006/08/official-sept-11th-story-falling-apart.html

This September 11th., lets hold them accountable, (in Gitmo for a few years), with just the old testament and John Ashcroft singing "Let The Eagle Soar" (twenty four hours a day).

Amen.

Treason & Christian Fascism in America

Murder on their minds: Robertson not alone among conservative media figures
Pat Robertson's recent call for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has sparked significant media coverage. But Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, is not the first to make a comment of this sort.

Indeed, Media Matters for America has documented several other instances of conservative media figures advocating or musing about the execution of people with whom they disagree


O'Reilly said LA Times' Kinsley wouldn't "get it" until terrorists "cut off his head"

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said that the Los Angeles Times editorial board wouldn't understand his objection to legal representation for detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, until terrorists kill editorial page editor Michael Kinsley.

Coulter (reincarnated Nazi prison camp guard ) said the debate over Clinton should have been "whether to impeach or assassinate"

Syndicated columnist Ann Coulter argued that the national debate during the Monica Lewinsky controversy should not have focused on whether President Bill Clinton "did it," but rather "whether to impeach or assassinate" him.

THESE PEOPLE have no shame. Their contempt for democracy is so great they will stop at nothing to undermine it. Their adherence to fundamentalist beliefs that blinds them to reality is frightening. They must be stopped.
And that’s just the Republicans.

Their protection is nothing but spin and a shake down racket with billions going directly to Halliburton, Lockheed Martin and Bechtel. Religion is an elaborate money laundry that makes the Islamic charity funding money laundry look like small change.

It is fascism we all have to worry about and it currently comes in THREE forms, all working together to destroy the world. Christian, Islamic and Zionist fascism advocates believe the world will end, and they are doing everything they can to make it happen. They seem to believe they can do anything to anyone with impunity, as long as it is done in the name of THEIR God.

The corporate interests could care less as long as they make a buck selling the machines of death and war to either side - makes no matter. We are caught inbetween the rage of both parties, caught in an endless dance orchestrated by the evil in the White House having a party funding both sides, and laughing all the way to the bank.

Veterans Camp With Cindy at the Best Little Whorehouse (Crawford) in Texas

Cindy Sheehan gives chickenhawk, Richard Perle an infrequent opportunity to be accountable. Do not hold your breath, conscience, empathy and integrity waiting for a response - this species of Neo Con is against evolution because they are incapable of evolving. They are clearly devoid of empathy, conscience, personal integrity or statesmanship.

http://www.gsfp.org/article.php?list=type&type=21

Goldstar families for peace will be leading the camp out at Crawford and their web site is where I lifted the logo in support of Cindy Sheehan.


Camp Casey August 6th-Sept 2nd 2006 Cindy Sheehan and Gold Star Families for Peace have returned to Crawford Texas. President Bush has still not satisfactorily answered our question, "What Noble Cause did our loved ones die for?" One year later we are still in the quagmire that is Iraq. As of this writing 2613 of our brave and noble military men and women have died for this Noble Cause. Join us at Camp Casey and show the President that we will not accept one more death be it American or Iraqi.

Check out Geoffrey Millard's recent Article About Camp Casey on TruthOut.org


I would highly recommend you load up with the latest Dixie Chicks CD which includes "Ain't Ready to Make Nice". The album has gone platinum (over a million sold) but we can do better (smile) ...hey these gals stood up and said they were ashamed GWB was from Texas some time ago. The religious rite money laundry for the Bush crime family have trashed them through pressure on country stations to not play their music. Everytime I buy another CD I smile. Isn't FREE enterprise great!
While the fraudulent fundamentalist religions of the world make a mockery of God. (The dollar says one nation under God, - it says nothing about religion.)

Whose Side Are THEY On?

President Bush is Not Above the Law

We're back in Dick's office, where all our troubles began.
Vice President Dick Cheney, the man who fantasized secret meetings between Mohammad Atta and some Czech in a coffee shop.
The Dick Cheney who said Saddam "has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons," which helped him concoct our miserable war in Iraq.

Vice President Cheney, the guy who directed the hit on a CIA operative, not to mention may have destroyed emails so the prosecutor can't discover the truth. Decided that the "New Sovereigntist" club could craft policies that would make anything his boss did legal even if it wasn't, which brings us to Bush's illegal domestic wiretapping scheme. ...


Rather than the Jon Benet ten year old spin machine, we would LOVE to see this criminal brought to justice.







...Alberto Gonzales had his date with the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, as of right now, we've hit the proverbial presidential snag. That is, George W. Bush is stonewalling the release of classifed Justice Department memos. I'm so shocked.
The Bush administration is rebuffing requests from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee for its classified legal opinions on President Bush's domestic spying program, setting up a confrontation in advance of a hearing New York Times
But it's not just Democrats who want answers. Senator Specter has said Bush's illegal wiretapping "violates FISA — there's no doubt about that." ...
(Taylor Marsh archives link below)
http://www.taylormarsh.com/archives_view.php?id=1834... Taylor goes on to say,
So, if you had any illusions that the White House was taking this challenge from Congress seriously, this should put them to rest. Just chalk it up as another Jack Abramoff the president stole our pictures moment, only this time we're talking about classified legal documents which made the argument that our president was above the law. If Dick Cheney has his way, these documents will never see the light of day. ...


While the administration has laid out its legal defense repeatedly in the last two weeks, the formal legal opinions developed at the Justice Department to justify the program remain classified. The administration has refused even to publicly acknowledge the existence of the memorandums, but The New York Times has reported that two sets of legal opinions by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel asserted the president's broad power to order wiretaps without warrants in protecting national security. Senate Panel Rebuffed on Documents on U.S. Spying
...



This is Prescott Bush (George's grandfather), often called "Hitler's Angel" he helped bankroll the dictator to such an extent that WWII would not have been possible without his aid to Nazi Germany. He was Hitler's banker placing US fascist firms in touch with slave camps in Germany. The Bush's profited directly from the labor at Auschwitz concentration camp.

A slave labor force all over the world, ruled by them, whom they deem "elite".



Unless the American military, or the American intelligence service can indict and bring these
criminals to justice, the world is done. Anyway you look it the USA has sunk to warlord status, with one, not terribly bright, but clearly criminal and connected family holding the nation hostage. Perhaps it is time we looked at the palaces lived in by our own leaders, and how they got the money to live there.

In Canada we have a Prime Minister, who too is a Neo Con and we cannot even seem to get the CBC to ask him if he got any funding from Jack Abramoff.

The Toll of a Treasonous Media

"It's as though we are evil."

Gore Vidal - the transcript of an interview of Vidal - published in The Progressive magazine.

I want to share with you a quote from that:


We've never had a government like this. The United States has done wicked things in the past to other countries but never on such a scale and never in such an existentialist way. It is as though we are evil. We strike first. We'll destroy you. This is an eternal war against terrorism. It's like a war against dandruff. There's no such thing as a war against terrorism. It's idiotic. These are slogans. These are lies. It's advertising, which is the only art form we ever invented and developed.

But our media has collapsed. They've questioned no one. One of the reasons Bush and Cheney are so daring is that they know there's nobody to stop them. Nobody is going to write a story that says this is not a war, only Congress can declare war. And you can only have a war with another country. You can't have a war with bad temper or a war against paranoids. Nothing makes any sense, and the people are getting very confused. The people are not stupid, but they are totally misinformed... [Our leaders] don't want us to know anything. When you've got a press like we have, you no longer have an informed citizenry.
August 22, 2006

PRESIDENT BUSH EMPHASIZED no fewer than 10 times in his news conference Monday that U.S. forces would not leave Iraq "before the job is done." It's a clever piece of rhetoric, appealing to Americans' sense of duty as well as their pride. Just one question: What was that job again?

Everyone BUT the US media knows this is a criminal government, appointed by a corrupt court and a fraudulent election process, but then I suspect they do know - it simply is not the spin they are paid to sell us.
