Quips, Queries and Questions to the Bush Barbarians



Texas has oil, and is the home base of the terrorists turning America into a fascist state - why not bomb them and nationalize the oil?















Ah George and Abramoff the mobster sentenced to six years in jail. Everyone BUT American media seems to know that K Street had to go through Abramoff to Bush. Like the ENRON fraud this connection has been swept under the rug. Why isn't American media tying the links of corruption together and doing their job?





What is this the training center at the School of Americas where the USA trains death squads
to stir up civil war in every country they invade.
Then while the local inhabitants are killing each other - they steal the oil, or the diamonds, gold or whatever booty is available.

Why don't Americans know about the School of Americas and that fact that most FREE people consider it a training school for terrorists.



Who vetted George H.W. Bush for the presidency? This disgusting "family" has sixty years of trading with the enemy, lying to the people and continually provoking war for profit. The facts are in the U.S. National Archives.



What is the difference between Saddam and a Bush? Both torture, both lie, both steal, both
manipulate the media and have a secret police that operates beneath the law - ANY law.







What CEO will the fascist corporate machine pick next to fulfill their deregulation of America and the complete overthrow of American democracy?

Only Diebold or the fascist Opus Dei Supreme Court know for sure eh!

There clearly is no legal system of any integrity left in the USA, or these monsters would be in jail.

USA - From Democracy to Fascism

The USA is no longer a democratic state. Voting machines are compromised, the Supreme Court is loaded with Catholic fundamentalists of the misogynist Opus Dei ilk (the same brand name associated with Robert Hansen the biggest Soviet Spy in history who is also Opus Dei and FBI.)

Is America Fascist?

By Sherwood Ross

If it hasn’t gone the way of Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany, it’s sure teetering on the brink. America is a nation in deepening crisis, a nation whose leaders repeatedly plunge their citizens into, and make them pay for, serial wars abroad, while stealing their liberties at home. USA has become a country that treats its citizens like trash (New Orleans), tortures its enemies(Abu Ghraib), threatens other nations with nuclear fire(Iran), flouts international treaties(UN Charter re Iraq), and spies on(FISA), and intimidates, its critics(No Fly). Americans that can clearly see the totalitarian machinations of Vladimir Putin in Russia and Hu Jintao in China are blind to the fascism threatening to envelop them as well.


Webster’s defines fascism as “a totalitarian governmental system led by a dictator and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism, militarism, and often racism.” A comparison of 20th century fascist and communist regimes with President Bush’s USA indicates the machinery for a full-blown totalitarian takeover is now in place, even if no coup has occurred. As Naomi Wolf writes in “The End of America”(Chelsea Green)the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill’s Section 333 allows the president “to declare martial law and take charge of the National Guard troops without the permission of a governor when ‘public order’ has been lost…” and to “send the guard into our streets during a public health emergency, terrorist attack or ‘other condition.’”


The enabling crowbar was the Military Commissions Act of 2006. It gives the president authority to set up his own system for bringing alien combatants to trial while denying them protection of the Geneva Conventions. “The president and his lawyers now claim the authority to designate any American citizen he chooses as being an ‘enemy combatant,’” Wolf writes of power usurpation that characterized the post-World War One epoch in Europe and Asia.
Thus, Congress has empowered Bush just as Germany’s Reichstag empoweredBold Hitler, Wolf writes, recalling Hitler’s boast, “Democracy will be overthrown with the tools of democracy.” Hitler’s Interior Minister issued Clause 2 that gave police the power to hold people in custody indefinitely and without a court order, powers the U.S. Congress today has conferred upon “The Decider” in the White House. Mussolini’s used the less grandiose “Il Duce” or “The Leader.”

May the light of every soul murdered by this sick, sad, WAG THE DOG media and their presidency of thugs and dead enders be held to account under the laws of Nuremberg for war criminals.

Going back the article we get a glimmer of the crime laid open to execution by the silence of US media.

Wolf writes that dictators justify their usurpation of domestic liberties by raising the alarm of “terrorist” threats. Stalin, for example, used this very term in 1934 when he warned his public of a world-wide conspiracy by capitalists to overthrow the Soviet state. If there have been no mass arrests of native-born Americans it is only because the president has not chosen to exercise this authority. If you think it can’t happen to you, recall that in September of 2003 the Army arrested 36-year-old American-born Muslim chaplain James Yee, a West Point graduate, allegedly for “espionage and possibly treason”---but more likely for calling for better conditions for Gitmo inmates. Wolf wrote:

“He was blindfolded; his ears were blocked; he was manacled and then put into solitary confinement for 76 days; forbidden mail, television, or anything to read except the Koran. His family was not allowed to visit him. …His lawyers were told he would face execution. (But)Within six months, the U.S. government had dropped all criminal charges against Yee.” Yes, just as it has dropped charges against hundreds of Guantanamo prisoners earlier, men labeled by former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld as “the worst of the worst” but against the overwhelming majority of whom the Bush regime apparently had no case whatever!

----

Fascism is America and it is what American industry has supported along with selling arms to the enemy prior to every war, from Samuel Bush with Remington Arms in WWI to Prescott Bush and the Nazis, to Poppy's (H.W.) drug running CIA and to today's mob boss baby Bush. The censored media have clearly never vetted or covered the crimes of the worst mob family in history - America's Caligula.

Our Criminally Complicit Corporate Owned Media



WAG THE DOG: HOW TO CONCEAL MASSIVE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE by Ellen Brown WebofDebt.com
August 14th, 2008

“I’m in show business, why come to me?”

War is show business, that’s why we’re here.”
– “Wag the Dog” (1997 film)

Last week, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had just announced record losses, and so had most reporting corporations. Unemployment was mounting, the foreclosure crisis was deepening, state budgets were in shambles, and massive bailouts were everywhere. Investors had every reason to expect the dollar and the stock market to plummet, and gold and oil to shoot up. Strangely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 300 points, the dollar strengthened, and gold and oil were crushed. What happened?
It hardly took psychic powers to see that the Plunge Protection Team had come to the rescue. Formally known as the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, the PPT was once concealed and its very existence denied as if it were a matter of strict national security. But the PPT has now come out of the closet. What was once a legally questionable “manipulator” of markets has become a sanctioned stabilizer and protector of markets. The new tone was set in January 2008, when global markets took their worst tumble since September 11, 2001. Senator Hillary Clinton said in a statement reported by the State News Service:

...The mystery over what was going on with the dollar the first week in August was solved by James Turk, founder of Gold Money, who wrote on August 7:
“[T]he banking problems in the United States continue to mount, while the federal government’s deficit continues to soar out of control. . . . So what happened to cause the dollar to rally over the past three weeks? In a word, intervention. Central banks have propped up the dollar, and here’s the proof.

“When central banks intervene in the currency markets, they exchange their currency for dollars. Central banks then use the dollars they acquire to buy US government debt instruments so that they can earn interest on their money. The debt instruments central banks acquire are held in custody for them at the Federal Reserve, which reports this amount weekly

“On July 16, 2008 . . . , the Federal Reserve reported holding $2,349 billion of US government paper in custody for central banks. In its report released today, this amount had grown over the past three weeks to $2,401 billion, a 38.4% annual rate of growth. . . . So central banks were accumulating dollars over the past three weeks at a rate far above what one would expect as a result of the US trade deficit. The logical conclusion is that they were intervening in currency markets. They were buying dollars for the purpose of propping it up, to keep the dollar from falling off the edge of the cliff and doing so ignited a short covering rally, which is not too difficult to do given the leverage employed in the markets these days by hedge funds and others.”

Just as central banks manipulate currencies in concert, so gold can be manipulated by massive selling of central bank reserves. Oil and any other market can be manipulated as well. But markets can be manipulated by only so much and for only so long without fixing the underlying problem. There is more bad news coming down the pike, news of such magnitude that no amount of ordinary manipulation is liable to conceal it. (complete story at the link above)





Heck this Con has turned patriotism into a disease of the ignorant, by the ignorant, for the narrow minded narcissism of American "values." While chastising Putin for essentially everything the USA is doing in Iraq...it is horridly hollow to listen to this man without recalling the final scene in the movie "Apocalypse Now" where the director had Marlon Brando free associate to come up with the ending.

His line..."it's just the horror of it all, the horror."



You bet in counting there is strength and like everything else criminal in the USA today, the Repugs have it wired:

What makes this SAIC report, called "The Pentagon Papers of Electronic Voting" by some computer experts, so important is that:

1. It shows, in black and white, that what Diebold says to election officials and voters across the country is not the truth.

2. It shows that there are virtually no security protocols in place for certain Diebold machines and that the recommended security protocols were purposely removed.

3. It shows that the analyzed Diebold machines were not functional nor secure for use in elections and raises serious doubts that they are ready for the November 7, 2006 Midterm elections.
The study, dated September 17, 2003, is the response to research performed by Johns Hopkins University Computer Science Professor Avi Rubin citing severe security flaws on the Diebold touch screen machines, including a surprising lack of security, (encryption), on the memory cards. Maryland sought to ascertain whether their Diebold Touch Screen machines were, in fact, safe for Maryland voters to use.
But Diebold, in return for allowing their super secret, proprietary machines to be examined by the independent laboratory, insisted on two huge concessions from the State of Maryland.
First, SAIC would not be allowed to even look at the source code, the heart and guts of electronic voting machines. Second, they would be allowed to go through the SAIC Report, line by line, and redact anything and everything that they felt was proprietary, had a potential for security breaches or could provide a road map for anyone who wanted to compromise the system.
In other words, whatever they wanted to do with the public part of the report they could. (complete story here http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/35557#comment-203654


Small wonder Americans know little of what goes on outside their borders, their "news" agencies pump hours of corporate propaganda into their homes, interrupted only by the obsessive compulsive need to ram advertising down the throats of the viewer paying to receive it! They profess to be human beings, yet have to "humanize" every candidate they put forward to us.

i.e.
Bold, shocking, powerful, and authoritative best characterize State of Darkness which exposes the war crimes not only of President W. Bush but of nine presidents since 1945. Public discourse in the United States has yet to debate these violations of international law despite the fact that they attain the level of genocide. This is a groundbreaking work which for the first time exhaustively details American complicity in genocide

I systematically and definitively prove that the United States is either guilty of or complicit in genocide in eight different countries since 1945. Using criteria that I carefully establish in the introduction along with documentation based almost exclusively on declassified documents and with rigorous reasoning, I demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that since 1945, nine American presidents are complicit in genocide.

For example, American actions against Iraq are undeniably a case of genocide given the death of over two million people, the displacement of five million, the more than one million who are in desperate need of emergency assistance, and the complete destruction of the infrastructure of Iraq. This level of death and destruction are a direct result of the 1991 bombing, the sanctions imposed between 1990 and 2003, the bombing between 1991 and 2003 in the no-fly zones and the 2003 bombing and occupation. The impact of American policies in Iraq irrefutably meets the criteria of genocide in the Genocide Convention.

Debate on the issues raised in this book is long overdue and is imperative to filling a gaping lacuna in the historical record of the United States. Knowledge of the suffering and loss experienced by the victims of American interventions has emboldened me to write this book in the hope that awareness will promote activism.http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/35557#comment-203654


What the WAG THE DOG criminal corporate media hides from the public, with distraction after distraction.


None of this would have been possible without a conscious effort by lenders, who have spent billions of dollars in advertising to change the language of home loans and, with it, Americans' attitudes toward debt.

When, one might ask, are we going to start holding American media accountable.

The mountain of facts about the Bush past and the past of American industry resides in the U. S. National Archives for those with a nose for truth and a heart that demands integrity.

The axis of evil in the USA is in the mirror ..in all of our mirrors. Every time we turn our heads and look the other way, or refuse to hear the cries of those bombed, tortured, alone, crying out for us to HEAR them, as a part of our collective humanity, we shut down our hearts, our chance for salvation.

The USA media networks have become the mirror of a narcissistic psychopathic presidency, miming idiocy and distracting with disgusting displays of individual narcissism, the media have quite simply become the presidential psychosis and paralysis gripping the country.

The IRON CURTAIN of censored news is an endless drone in the USA, ...anything to distract from the ongoing genocide committed by the USA, Saudi Arabia and the Mossad. We've become a world run by criminal gangs with the INTEL agencies nothing but thugs operating devoid of law and then pointing the finger at the other guy.

Georgian forces armed by the USA fired "rounds" of rockets into Ossettia because the residents did not want to stay within Georgia...THIS Is the democracy Bush brings...

The USA provoked this action all the way down the line..yet all we hear from the
US media and this sick, sad, simplistically psychopathic presidency are the same accusations that could apply to America - right down the line. Fabricated evidence, illegal incarceration, illegal, immoral invasion and NO country with the high ground to challenge... because of the Bush Barbarians and their paid off press coverage.

The owners of all the major networks should be tried for treason along with the criminals holding the country hostage.

Criminal News Agencies Block Truth From Public



American news media is criminally complicit with the GOP/Bush campaign to destroy America.

One does not have to look far to find the damage American media has inflicted on the country and the world.

Here is smattering of articles addressing this issue:

"Even more telling, particularly coming from an official who was in charge of dealing with the press, is McClellan’s harsh indictment of the American media as a servile and willing accomplice in this process.

“If anything, the national press corps was probably too deferential to the White House and to the administration in regard to the most important decision facing the nation during my years in Washington, the choice over whether to go to war in Iraq,” he writes. “The collapse of the administration’s rationales for war, which became apparent months after our invasion, should never have come as such a surprise. ... In this case, the ‘liberal media’ didn’t live up to its reputation. If it had, the country would have been better served.”

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/may2008/bush-m29.shtml


Writes McClellan:

"In the fall of 2002, Bush and his White house were engaging in a carefully-orchestrated campaign to shape and manipulate sources of public approval to our advantage. We'd done much the same on other issues--tax cuts and education--to great success. But war with Iraq was different. Beyond the irreversible human costs and substantial financial price, the decision to go to war and the way we went about selling it would ultimately lead to increased polarization and intensified partisan warfare. Our lack of candor and honesty in making the case for war would later provoke a partisan response from our opponents that, in its own way, further distorted and obscured a more nuanced reality. Another cycle of deception would cloud the public's ability to see larger, underlying important truths that are critical to understand in order to avoid the same problems in the future.

"And through it all, the media would serve as complicit enablers. Their primary focus would be on covering the campaign to sell the war, rather than aggressively questioning the rationale for war or pursuing the truth behind it… the media would neglect their watchdog role, focusing less on truth and accuracy and more on whether the campaign was succeeding. Was the president winning or losing the argument? How were Democrats responding? What were the electoral implications? What did the polls say? And the truth--about the actual nature of the threat posed by Saddam, the right way to confront it, and the possible risks of military conflict--would get largely left behind…"
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/mcclellan-media.html

Daniel Ellsberg was instrumental in bringing the end to the Viet Nam war by exposing Pentagon Papers that proved the Pentagon themselves thought the war "unwinnable" and they continued the effort ONLY to support the military industrial complex. Ellsberg released papers to the news media proving the war was a sham.
They printed those papers then - I wonder if they would now.

Daniel Ellsberg:

In support of the official cover-up, various American journalists in the last weeks have reportedly received calls from "intelligence sources" hinting that "what Sibel Edmonds stumbled onto" is not a rogue operation by American officials and Congressmen working to their own advantage --- as believed by Edmonds and some other former or active FBI officials --- but a sensitive covert operation authorized at high levels. If there is any truth to that, we clearly have another prize candidate --- giving us, as blowback, the Pakistani Bomb and nuclear sales --- in the category of "worst covert operation in U.S. history," rivaling such contenders as the Bay of Pigs, Iran-Contra, and the secret CIA torture camps abroad.

If "freedom of the press is mainly for the people who own presses," it is time for those owners to stop using that freedom to help conceal official wrongdoing.
In the first two of those, the American press gullibly responded to official warnings of "sensitivity" and sat on information they should have reported (as did the New York Times, for a year, on the illegal NSA surveillance program). If the Washington Post had heeded such warnings and demands with respect to the covert torture camps, they would have missed a well-earned Pulitzer Prize and the camps would still be torturing. http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5583

The criminal conspiracy that destroys America
Capitol Hill Blue
Sadly, the President of the United States is a criminal. In fact, he should be arrested, tried and sentenced to life in prison as a repeat offender.
He is a war criminal who led this nation into an illegal conflict based on lies. His criminal conduct in the invasion of Iraq has led to the deaths of more than 2,000 American military men and women and countless thousands of Iraqi civilians.
He ripped the Constitution to shreds, ordering the National Security Agency, the Pentagon and other government agencies to spy on American citizens.
His administration trampled basic American freedoms, creating a police state through the Gestapo tactics of the Department of Homeland Security and the rights-robbing USA Patriot Act.
He lied to the American people about his close relationship with corrupt GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff, claiming he didn’t know the man who raised more than $100,000 for his campaign and visited the White House more than 200 times in his first year in office as well as trips to the ranch in Crawford, Texas.
He ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to withhold information about dangerous toxins dumped into the air over Manhattan when terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center.
His vice president met secretly with the CEOs of America’s top energy companies, cutting deals that gave those companies record profits while ripping off consumers at the gas pump.
http://www.rinf.com/columnists/news/the-criminal-conspiracy-that-destroys-america

Paul Craig Roberts, former Reagan official:

"There is no longer any question whatsoever, not a single sliver of doubt, that Americans were deceived into this disastrous war. The president of the United States lied to the American people, as did the vice president, the national security adviser, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the deputy secretary of defense, the undersecretary of defense, and every neoconservative in the Bush administration, think tanks, and media.
The fact that the American people were lied to and deceived does not absolve them from blame. The lie was transparent, the logic nonexistent, the true facts available and easy to discover.
America failed because the American people failed. The American people failed because their self-righteousness and hubris made them easy saps for deception.
Even now after five years of a disastrous policy, Republicans cannot accept the facts about the U.S. invasion and failed occupation of Iraq. At the recent "debate" between Republican presidential candidates in South Carolina, Rep. Ron Paul dared to tell the truth. Paul said that our difficulties in the Middle East are "blowback" from our government's determined attempts to exercise hegemony over the Middle East.
http://www.antiwar.com/roberts/?articleid=11009


According to the Washington Post, since 2002 leading Democrats lawmakers received "about 30 private CIA briefings, some of which included descriptions of waterboarding, overseas rendition sites, "and other harsh interrogation methods." Officials present at some of the meetings, told the Post that the reaction from legislators "was not just approval, but encouragement."
If so, it would answer one of the great mysteries of 2007. The Democrats, once in control of Congress, had the courage to pursue cutoff of funds for the Iraq war, even though the Bush administration was happy to take advantage of their effort by characterizing it as failure to support the troops. The obvious companion strategy would have been to conduct intensive investigations to show that the entire Bush project has been to subvert law and Constitutional government in the interests of aggrandizing power nationally and internationally."
http://www.alternet.org/story/70218/

Indeed OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD, the CIA propaganda system that runs the US media,
is nothing but a cheer leader for a country that is ruled by a gang of thugs and dead enders
who have normallized torture, while the country currently incarcerates more people than any country in the world.

American media is crimjnally complicit with the first Dictator in American history, a congress that is merely a criminal gang subsidized by K street and news media that is the laughing stock of the world.

Real news agencies do not have to bleat out every few moments that they are "the most trusted name in news." They just act and report responsibly, the who, what, when, where, why and how of TRUTH, the facts of a situation.

At the Nuremberg trials the Nazi propagandists were prosecuted, omitting only the American contributions to the arming of Nazi Germany.

It is time for our own Caine Mutiny. Let us collectively stand worldwide and tell these
lying, cheating, misleading news agencies and the tyrants they rode in on to go to hell.
Nationalize the oil, arrest Bush and Cheney and watch the world cool down.
Oh and put on trial the most UNtrusted names in news in the history of our respective countries.
They, like the scum who have stolen office, are the root of this evil.
