Operation Enduring Corporate Treason
Bechtel Bechtel has tried to be beneficiary of privatized water supply in
Bolivia. When they got control of the water supply, they raised prices on water. The law crafted for
Bechtel by corrupt local leaders even made it illegal for people to collect rainwater.

The now-defunct
FoodAndWaterWatch.org used to say:
"In
Bolivia, South America’s poorest country, angry residents in
Cochabamba kicked out
Bechtel in 2000 after eight months of highly problematic service and severe rate increases which left people unable to pay for water. Licking its wounds,
Bechtel filed a $50 million lawsuit (for claims of lost future profits) against the government of
Bolivia in the
World Bank court called
ICSID (
International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes).
Bechtel had made investments for less than $1 million. The case was settled in 2005 giving a significant breakthrough in a court where the corporations usually win. Faced with protests, barrages of e-mails, visits to their homes, and years of damaging press,
Bechtel executives
finally decided to surrender, walking away with a token payment equal to thirty cents. This retreat sets a very important global precedent. The international support from activists like you has helped to make this victory possible!"
Bush, George W. Although
George W Bush is not a corporation, he and
Dick Cheney have acted as servants of many large corporations that desire to ...
-get
free money by paying little or no taxes
-
control regulatory agencies directly by having Bush
-
appoint their executives to lead those agences
-
make a killing (no pun intended) on war profiteering
-
make a killing in the anti-terrorism security bonanza
-
pollute with impunity
George W Bush is the grandson of an
American Nazi, namely
Prescott Bush, who aided the
Nazis in their rise to power and after
WWII, he sent
Nazi money to exiles in South America.
Karl Rove is the grandson of a
German Nazi. 
A few of Bush's wrongsHis new
John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 supposedly gives him control of the
National Guard and lets him use them to kill protesters or others who oppose his government.
His new
Military Commissions Act of 2006 lets him declare whatever
US Citizens he chooses
"illegal enemy combatants", at which point he can take them away to prison, torture them and even kill them. In section
948a, it states:
(ii) a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the
Military Commis- sions Act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a
Combatant Status Review Tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the President or the
Secretary of Defense.

His government now says that as of mid-January 2007
, US Citizens will need the government's permission to leave the country and to re-enter.
Conspiring successfully to steal the election of 2000, thanks largely to his brother and governor of
Florida Jeb Bush who prevented
50,000 Democrats from voting, and
Catherine Harris who destroyed ballots
. Conspiring successfully to steal the election of 2004, thanks once again to his brother and governor of
Florida Jeb Bush who continued to prevent
50,000 Democrats from voting, as well as
Republican operatives in other states, particularly
Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio Secretary of State and co-chair of the campaign to reelect Bush in
Ohio, who rigged the vote there
. Bush was also helped by
Democratic governor Bill Richardson in
New Mexico (he's an ex-oil exec), and last but not least by his cousin
John Kerry's eagerness to declare defeat before the votes were even counted.

World to Bush...
Your administration
lied about the existence of
WMDs in
Iraq as a pretext to invade. The "
Neo-cons" wanted to invade Iraq as far back as
Clinton's presidency and have stated their desire in writing on several occassions.
His administration lied about a connection between
Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
He removed most of the environmental regulations of the past
30 years.
9/11:He and
Dick Cheney conspired in
2001 with numerous well-placed people (including probably his brother
Marvin Bush,
Marvin's company
Securacom (now Stratatec), the military, the corporate media and presumably
the CIA) to stage the terror attacks of 9/11. Physical evidence from the
WTC complex crime scene, despite
Rudolph Giuliani's destruction of most evidence, shows that thermate (an explosive) was used to sever supporting columns in the
Twin Towers as well as in
WTC building
7, resulting in controlled demolitions of those buildings on
9/11. Of course, these attacks were blamed on Muslim bogeymen and on
ex-CIA agent (still an agent?)
Osama bin Laden, who together serve very effectively as the new Lee
Harvey Oswalds.
Video of professor Steven E Jones discussing evidence from
WTC site.
He has perpetrated numerous attacks on the
US Constitution thanks to his "
Patriot" Act, which should more properly be called the
Bush's Treason Act.
Bush has used
"signing statements" to ignore the will of the
US Congress on numerous occasions. He pretends to accept a bill, then adds statements saying that he reserves the right to ignore or reject the law in question.
Bush is guilty of condoning torture, not only in Guantanamo but in no-longer-secret CIA prisons.
Bush's people "outed"
CIA agent
Valerie Plame allegedly because her husband rejected the idea that
Saddam Hussein bought yellowcake uranian in Africa.
The failed Iraq invasion, which has pushed petrol prices up by 100% or more in just 5 years, much to the joy of
Bush's friends the
Saudis,
Bush's friends the oil industry, and which has made war very profitable for
Bush/Cheney's friends at
Halliburton and other military contractors.

Corporations"
The West is now on a similar extremist ideological path [to communism]; the difference is that we are captive to detached and unaccountable corporations rather than to a detached and unaccountable state."
- David Korten author of
When Corporations Rule the World....
Operation Enduring Treason marches on with a lame congress devoid of statesmanship, courage or class, and a criminal presidency.
Republican and Democratic senators and congressman continue to rubber stamp the most criminal presidency in the history of the
United States of America. The difference here is that the American people KNOW what the Bush administration is ..they cannot help but know - WHEN will they stand. When?
