Bush defies Congress and the people with his every signing statement yet Congress seems strangely acquiescent. What reason have we to expect that Bush will suddenly stop defying Congress and the people? And, if he should be impeached, what reason have we to believe he will leave willingly?
The situation is surreal if not unprecedented. Although Bush enjoys the support of only about 28 percent of the American people, he faces no real Congressional opposition. What gives? I am more angry with Democrats than with the GOP. I had higher hopes for the Dems. I know the GOP to be a crime syndicate masquerading as a political party and am never disappointed.
Democrats were given majorities in both houses primarily because the people are sick, tired and disgusted with Bush's ongoing war crime, his Orwellian perpetual war. They are sick and disgusted with Bush's unseemly power grabs, his dumb ass arrogance, the unholy combination of stupidity and venality. Bush poses a clear and present danger to civilization.
Perhaps this is just the calm before the storm. Or worse --there will be no storm. Will we all go quietly into that good night where the Constitution, just a "goddamn piece of paper", is overtly trashed, Congress sent packing, and the high court kept around for the robes and the gravitas they bring to it all?
As Paul Craig Roberts pointed out --the bait-and-switch White House told the American people that the war on Iraq would last three weeks, six weeks --tops! The US has been stuck like flypaper for some six years. Now Bush tells us that the US will build permanent bases. He intends to keep the US in Iraq forever. I don't think so.
Roberts calls the comparison to Korea, a false analogy and so it is. It is said that a permanent US presence is necessary for Iraq's security. But we weren't told that going in and the biggest threat to Iraqis is us, as in, US. Roberts again points out that some 50 years after the "end" of combat in Korea, US troops are still there. US troops are likewise stationed in Europe some six decades after the end of World War II. [See: The neocon threat to American freedom] It's time to reassess the presence of "permanent" bases in Europe. It's a complete waste of taxpayer money, a gesture that means but one thing: US imperialism. To the rest of the world US imperialism means "oursourced murder".
Surely, it was obvious that we are in trouble when the "media" allowed Gen. Hayden get away with lying about the Fourth Amendment. Where are the Edward R. Murrows and Walter Cronkites of this generation? Good night and good luck, indeed! You're gonna need it.
The people have spoken and they are pissed. Bush's war on terrorism has failed to make us safe, yet he wants our Democracy for his sorry efforts. I was tempted to write that Bush should be given an ultimatum: end the war or be impeached! But, in fact, he should be impeached, tried, convicted, jailed and turned over to the Hague for war crimes trials anyway. This is not negotiable. The constitution is not negotiable. American Democracy is not negotiable. The time for making nice-nice is over! We shall not plea-bargain away our rights!
As I wrote recently, the people themselves have a remedy. There is sure to be a Federal Judge friendly to a petition to convene a Federal Grand Jury for the purpose of investigating a smorgasbord of charges against a crime syndicate better known as the Bush administration. Find that judge! Your honor, if you should read this blog, we have a job for you. Convene a grand jury to investigate George W. Bush and his entire, crooked gang. You will have probable cause in spades.
If the Congress will not end this war, this crooked administration, the people must! Enough of this crap is enough!
Bush cannot find comfort in the public's recent disaffection with the Democrats in Congress. When politicians learn how to read a poll, they will learn that the people of the US want the war against Iraq ended and they want it ended now! When the people, at last, regain control of a rogue government, the war hawks will be sent to the Hague for war crimes trials. Round-up time on the ranch.US: New polls reveal mass opposition to Democrats and Republicans
New opinion polls released this week show mounting discontent within the American population over the war in Iraq and the policies of both political parties.
The problems the nation faces are bi-partisan ones, and will only be solved with bi-partisan ropes around bi-partisan necks, and arguing over which one deserves the tallest tree and the shortest rope is a waste of time. - M. R.
Bush rewrites the laws passed by Congress. He does this by decree, euphemistically called "signing statements". Will the high court strike them down? Possibly, but that will not happen until a case is brought. So sweeping are the powers that Bush has now arrogated unto himself, it is hard to imagine how a single case will make any difference or undo the many harms already done.
This memorandum addresses the matter of how we can maximize the fact of our incumbency in dealing with persons known to be active in their opposition to our Administration, Stated a bit more bluntly --how we can use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.Bill Clinton is often associated with a Fleetwood Mac song called "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow". But Bush is the living proof that the GOP never stopped thinking about ways to screw their "political enemies". The problem is the GOP made of the American people an enemy.The people are sovereign. What is to be said of a political party that makes of the people, the sovereign, an enemy? The word traitor comes to mind.
The GOP has deteriorated over some 30 years but I have news for them. The Constitution was not negotiable in Nixon's day. It is not negotiable now. The GOP is not a political party. It's a criminal conspiracy. 911 is a gestalt of many crimes among many more.
Congressional Memorandum: Summary of Prima Facie Evidence of TreasonA Summary of the threshold of prima facie evidence is as follows.
I. The attacks of 9/11, as portrayed in the official account, could not have succeeded if standard operating procedures between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and NORAD had been followed. The Pentagon, under the leadership of Donald Rumsfeld, has provided three mutually inconsistent accounts of NORAD’s response, which means that at least two of them are false. Moreover, the third account, articulated by the 9/11 Commission, is contradicted by a wide range of facts, including evidence that the FAA had notified NORAD in a timely fashion. There must have been stand-down orders, and these could have come only from the highest levels of the Pentagon and the White House.
II. Overwhelming evidence exists that the collapses of the Twin Towers and Building 7 were instances of controlled demolition, and/or of the application of exotic weapons such as land-based, air-based or possible space-based Directed Energy Weapons (DEW). But al-Qaeda operatives could not have obtained the needed access to the buildings to plant the explosives and would not have ensured that the buildings come straight down. Nor could al-Qaeda operatives have obtained command and control of advanced Directed Energy Weapons, Microfusion devices (4th generation mini-nuclear weapons), bunker-busters, or other exotic weapons alternatives that are known to be in the deployment or testing phase in the US Defense arsenal. The controlled demolition and/or Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) or exotic weapons application, therefore, had to be the work of U.S. Government and other insiders. That President Bush was one of those insiders is suggested by the fact that his brother and cousin were principals in the company in charge of WTC security. Complicity at the highest levels of the federal government is also indicated by the removal of evidence (the collapsed steel), which at a crime scene is normally a federal offense. Finally, if the airplane strikes could have occurred only with the consent of the President and the Secretary of Defense (as suggested in the previous point), the coordination of these strikes with the demolition of the buildings - and/or with the use of exotic weapons such as Directed Energy Weapons - implies their involvement in the latter as well.
III. Overwhelming evidence also exists for the conclusion that the attack on the Pentagon was an inside job. That the official story could not be true is evident from many facts: Alleged hijacker Hani Hanjour’s incompetence; the choice of the Pentagon west wing as the target; the impossibility of a commercial airliner’s coming back to Washington undetected and hitting the Pentagon unless permitted; and the lack of physical evidence consistent with an attack by a Boeing 757. That the strike was an inside job is implied by the falsity of the official story, the evidence that the strike was made by a military aircraft, the removal of evidence, and the government’s refusal to release videos of the strike. This operation could hardly have been planned without the involvement of Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.
9/11 & DU at the Pentagon
In April, 2007, Leuren Moret exposed the U.S. military’s illegal use of Depleted Uranium (DU) weapons in target practice in Hawaii, in violation of U.S. military environmental regulations. The elevated radiation readings she recorded were carried by ABC-TV news in Hawaii on April 29 & 30, 2007.
Leuren Moret reported similar elevated radiation readings downwind from the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. Two days after 9/11, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that the Pentagon crash site rubble was radioactive and that the probable contaminant was Depleted Uranium (DU). The entry and exit holes through the Pentagon crash site were the signature of a kinetic energy penetrator, such as a Cruise missile, and the term “punch-out hole” was written by crash site investigators over the exit hole. This is a military term used for kinetic energy penetrators. Major Doug Rokke, former Director of the Gulf War I DU Cleanup Team, reported that an email from the Pentagon 30 minutes after impact confirmed a Cruise missile hit the Pentagon on 9/11. Recently vast Uranium deposits have been reported in Khazakhstan and Afghanistan. Khazakhstan is expected to out-produce Canada (now the world's top producer) in Uranium production within 12 years. This exposes the economic interests behind the events of 9/11, specifically the unjustified military attack by the U.S. on Afghanistan using 9/11 as a pretext.
IV. Complicity at the highest levels of the federal government is also indicated by President Bush’s remaining at the Florida Elementary school after it was evident---given the truth of the official account---that the United States was experiencing a surprise attack. This behavior makes sense only if Bush and his lead Secret Service agent knew that there would be no attack on the school.
V. The complicity of Vice President Cheney in the attack on the Pentagon and the downing of Flight 93 is implied by the testimony of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta in conjunction with the false claims of the 9/11 Commission, under the guidance of administration insider Philip Zelikow, as to when Cheney went to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) and when he issued the shoot-down authorization.
VI. The conclusion from the evidence that members of the Bush administration orchestrated the attacks of 9/11 is reinforced by the fact that they had some huge projects---prosecuting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and obtaining funding to accelerate the technological transformation of the military---that would likely be possible only in the event of “a new Pearl Harbor.”
The establishment of an International Citizen's 9/11 War Crimes Tribunal is justified, given that official institutions in the U.S. have failed to assign legal accountability for the False Flag Operation of 9/11. Representative John Conyers, Jr., Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee and his senior staff personally reviewed the 9/11 Independent Prosecutor Act and Congressional Memorandum following the 2006 U.S. Mid-term Election and Senior Staff met twice with representatives of the 9/11 Independent Prosecutor Act. The Chairman refused to introduce the Act, despite support for the Act by his Senior Staff. The 9/11 Commission failed to take testimony under oath from Bush and Cheney, and reached fraudulent conclusions.
9/11 As A War Crime
The False Flag Operation of 9/11 was the pretext for, and an integral part of the planning and execution of the illegal War of Aggression in 2001 against Afghanistan and of War Crimes committed by the United States in Afghanistan, as found by the Final Judgment, International Criminal Tribunal for Afghanistan at Tokyo. The Court found the use of Depleted Uranium (DU) weapons in Afghanistan to constitute War Crimes, Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, and Omnicide. The False Flag Operation of 9/11 is a legal component of these War Crimes, and the perpetrators of 9/11 are guilty Aggressive War, Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, and War Crimes.

It is sooo good to hear a voice like yours coming out of the Belley of the Beast - Texas USA.
Take that, you Sugarland Blimp-heads!
I just wondered in here from a link someone posted at Political Animal. Were we separated at birth? These mendacious bastards have negated my entire fucking life with their subversion of the Constitution. I took an oath once and proclaimed my willingness to die for that document.
Still mean it, to this very day two decades later.
1.) Impeach
2.) Indict
3.) Imprison
4.) Execute
Nothing less than the Republic itself is riding on it.

Please and thank you.:)
I just found your sight...cudos to you. I also fight the same war you do every week in our local editorials and trying to start a blog. Are Americans indifferent to losing our rights incrementally? I hope not. The bill of rights perverted. The constitution ignored. We are in a constitutional crisis as we speak. The polls are one thing, but where is the outrage. Americans can't be this naive can they... Anyway, good blog,I'll check back often,keep it up
Cheney is MORE powerful than the most powerful man in the world. He is the prime example of the corrupting influence of Power.
Cheney won't cooperate with Congress, claiming he is not an entity within the Executive branch. Cheney likely won't cooperate with the Senate, either, possibly claiming he is above their petty machinations. Cheney is the brains behind GWB, with Rove's willing assistance. [Rahm Emanuel has, so far, the best idea: cut off Cheney's allowance and kick him out of his government-provided housing!]
Did Cheney author the executive orders that GWB signed, e.g. posse comitatus, Martial Law, habeas corpus, enemy combatants, extraordinary rendition, acceptable torture, Geneva Conventions, domestic spying? Did he strongarm the CIA into providing bogus intel? Did he write "the sixteen words" and force GWB into saying them?
Was Cheney behind the 2000 Miami rout/"riot"? Did he strongarm SCOTUS? [And, in particular, how did he get Sandra Day O'Connor to agree?]
Was there a motive behind all the incursions into free speech, complete with "remote free speech zones" and detention for wearing "offensive Tshirts" or having the "wrong bumper sticker"? Whose idea was REAL-ID? The PATRIOT Act? Data mining?
Was Cheney behind the resurgence in nuclear weaponry? Pre-emptive warfare? The anthrax scares? Warmongering against Iran? Several coup attempts against Chavez? Selling ports to Dubai? Using DHS to manipulate media and public with "terror alerts"?
Is there a secret data network with a master file on Americans? Has he classified the most documents in history? Has he gutted FOIA?
Halliburton has a huge private army, as does Blackwater and CACI. Under Halliburton, and others, detention centers have been built all over the US.
The US military has been infiltrated by christian zealots, with a "Christian Embassy" spider-web throughout the entire system; the most dangerous soldiers are the zealot christian generals.
The FBI, Secret Service, CIA and Justice departments have been so badly tainted by this administration, they no longer enjoy the trust of the American people.
Can a man build a power-base for more than eight years but suddenly go quietly home?
Is Cheney planning a coup d'etat? A false-flag assassination of GWB blamed on "terrorists" before Election 2008?
Seriously, I see a man drunk with "super" powers. What I don't see, is a man willing to give it up...

Bush to America:

We The People to "decider guy":
"Fuck you, pal. We're ready to rumble. Better git a lawyer, son!"
I've always been astonished that people out there still fanatically support Bush.
To me, a 28 percent approval rating isn't low for this guy---it's bafflingly high.
Still, if you ever talk to Bush supporters, you'll find why they still support him.
These people live off in their own little hermitically sealed world.
It's a world in which Saddam was behind 9/11 and a world in which Saddam did have WMDs (but whisked them off to Syria just before the invasion).
Incidentally, as badly misinformed as these people are, you'll never find a more arrogant bunch of people who think they know more than all the rest of us.

"fanatically" is your key word...so, not only are many un or misinformed arrogant individuals,...many I believe are just mentally unstable (which had crossed my mind several times before reading Jung's quote I am posting). I remember Len posting a C.Jung comment/quote: Most societies population bases contain a 30% segment of individuals whose mental state suffers from some degree of psychosis.
I did not use parenthesis, as I am pulling this from my memory.
Bingo on the 28%... (the uncommitted 2% aren't crazy enough)
Of course I am kidding...some what.

Welcome back, Yogi. Things are not good in the belly of the beast. Education in Texas still sucks. Pollution is out of control. Neo-Texans appear not to give a shit about the environment and the "wide open spaces" for which Texas was known. I wish to hell they had never discovered oil. I'll bet there are more than a few Iraqis who feel the same way. I am tempted to say that oil IS the beast, 'cept Bush, in his perpetual state of delusion and faux religiosity, thinks himself The Beast. It's an idea he picked up while indulging various sick and demonic perversions at one too many soirees of the Skull and Bones.

Bertolt Brecht who must have had GOPPERS in mind when he wrote:
A man who does not know the truth is just an idiot but a man who knows the truth and calls it a lie is a crook!
That's a perfect description of the GOP attack on reason itself. I no longer acknowledge the legitimacy of the GOP. The GOP is not a political party, it has been hijacked, utterly bought and paid for by big corporations and powerful lobbies for whom winning is buying people and the government outright. The GOP is not a political party, it is a crime syndicate and should be investigated at the highest levels for violations of racketeering laws.

You've got the right attitude, Fuzz. In the sixties, we took it to the street. I even attempted lyrics: "We grown accustomed to your mace!" In fact, the military/industrial complex of oil barons and arms merchants as represented by Dick Cheney, may have grown soft, accustomed themselves to our pacifism. A change of tactics might shock them. Maybe new lyrics are in order: "We will, we will ROCK YOU!"

Recent studies confirm, essentially, people believe what they want to believe and what they want to believe is usually whatever it takes to make them feel good about themselves. In other words, it's "belief system" as addictive drug. Ronald Reagan was the master. GOPPERS of that era used to swoon: "But Unca Ronnie made us feel good about ourselves". Well, maybe some people --crooks, liars, thieves, run of the mill bigots, supply-siders and theocrats ought NOT feel good about themselves

And even though that seems rather high, upon reflection, Jung was probably right on target. Think of a standard bell curve. If "normal" people are represented by the bull in the middle, the fringe on either side could represent very nearly 30 percent of the population.
Len,
You are posting some great reads here my friend. I like that you put it all together. I know a lot of this stuff but couldn't put it all together the way you have. I DID NOT know about the elevated uranian levels at the Pentagon crash site and was shocked by that. My brother-in-law died at the Pentagon that day and sometimes I get so upset by all of this that I just gotta go away for awhile to calm down. I literally see red man! And I am not used to being that fucking pissed off you know. All the blood on Bush's hands! He is dripping with it, he IS a beast.
None of this criminal Bush Administration bullshit would be happening if congress was doing their job! Congress is violating the oath they took to uphold the constitution! They allow the criminals in the Bush Administration to break the law with impunity! Congress is aiding and abetting the Bush administration criminals! The people in this country need to wake up, and take matters into their own hands! It's time to march on Washington with pitchforks and torches, and tar and feathers! These crooked bastards, who have highjacked the country, are not going to throw themselves into prison! It's time for these crooks to realize that no
government is immune from public pressure! Let's get with the program!

Yours, mine - and incredibly: two reporters at WaPo. I woke the 'webs up a few minutes ago and found this, which answers one of my questions -
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062407B.shtml
Part I: "A Different Understanding With the President", from Truthout.com
I wrote my words on Saturday, and this appears on Sunday morning. Suffice to say I am in no loop that includes WaPo...
I love your blog, although I tend to back away from 9/11 conspiracies. Not because I don't believe in them; on the contrary, I spent most of '06 immersed in them. When I realized that I was becoming addicted, I had to find another focus, for my heart's (and soul's*) sake. I believe that there are so many issues with President Godsend's administration that narrowing my activism and giving my energies and limited funds to only about a dozen crimes makes more sense for me. So, I chose among others, RisingTheocracy and other extra-Constitutional predations.
At my age (61), running around shouting "Missile! Controlled demolition!" was draining my "resources"...
Long live the www and Truth!
*I say "soul's" even though I am an atheist and contribute to an atheist blog: God is for Suckers! At times, I am too worn down to find a better word to mean: my essential core values, ethics and conscience.
Oops! I forgot to include the opening paragraphs to a mind-blowing article. And I look forward to the next three Parts:
Just past the Oval Office, in the private dining room overlooking the South Lawn, Vice President Cheney joined President Bush at a round parquet table they shared once a week. Cheney brought a four-page text, written in strict secrecy by his lawyer. He carried it back out with him after lunch.
In less than an hour, the document traversed a West Wing circuit that gave its words the power of command. It changed hands four times, according to witnesses, with emphatic instructions to bypass staff review. When it returned to the Oval Office, in a blue portfolio embossed with the presidential seal, Bush pulled a felt-tip pen from his pocket and signed without sitting down. Almost no one else had seen the text.
Cheney's proposal had become a military order from the commander in chief. Foreign terrorism suspects held by the United States were stripped of access to any court - civilian or military, domestic or foreign. They could be confined indefinitely without charges and would be tried, if at all, in closed "military commissions."
"What the hell just happened?" Secretary of State Colin L. Powell demanded, a witness said, when CNN announced the order that evening, Nov. 13, 2001. National security adviser Condoleezza Rice, incensed, sent an aide to find out. Even witnesses to the Oval Office signing said they did not know the vice president had played any part.
I wonder how many of my other questions will be answered...

I hadn't known about the DU before researching for this article. The document is so strong, I opted to post it without my comments. After all, what more can be said? I've already called Bush out, so to speak, accusing him of mass murder, high treason, and all three categories of war crimes.
What a tragic time we live in! But, I fully intend to survive Bush. I wouldn't want to miss the fireworks when his evil cabal comes crashing down. It will be positively Wagnerian, a catastrophic Götterdämmerung, if not the end of the world associated with the Twilight of the Gods.

It is doubtful that Congress will act at this point. Even Rangel opposes impeachment for fear the GOP will rally around the embattled Bush. There is a fundamental flaw in any rationale that dictates we eschew duty and conscience for political expedience.

The "conspiracist" is Bush who put forward a whopper, an "official conspiracy theory".
I have not, in fact, posited a theory of my own. My position is simply this: there is probable cause to begin a grand jury or other official investigation of George W. Bush for the mass murder of US citizens. Probable cause is not a theory.
I believe that there are so many issues with President Godsend's administration that narrowing my activism and giving my energies and limited funds to only about a dozen crimes makes more sense for me.
"Overload" is a GOP strategy. I know how these bastards think.

I just found your sight...cudos to you. I also fight the same war you do every week in our local editorials and trying to start a blog.
Jump right in. You'll do fine on a blog. I was tentative, at first, delayed starting a blog. My very first post was an analysis of the motion picture Elizabeth, an analysis that I had written for a seminar that I was conducting on motion picture production. I had not intended to turn this into a political blog. That changed very quickly.
Len, I read your earliest archived posts and noticed the change in focus. Had I more time, I would have researched at what point you turned from 100% literary to 100% political. Just for my own pleasure in charting a mini-evolution.
As a proud political animal, I get much pleasure from your political posts - if "pleasure" is the right word! Perhaps "satisfaction" is better, since your views validate mine by expressing the outrage and injustice in our currents lives.
Anyone who has a viewpoint can blog. It's bloggers like you, Len, that keep people coming back, again and again. It's for the opinions and the sourced facts. Too bad we have bloggers like LGF and Myshallow Milkman...they are evil, through and through!
Naomi, I think I had in mind writing a political piece every now and again but never expected that I would write so many or that anyone other than a few very close friends would ever read anything on my blog. I made a couple of political points in Analysis and Review: Elizabeth, a few generic political observations. The first diatribe may have been Above the Law
The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper!
—George W. Bush
Indeed! One of the most insulting things you could say to a citizen loyal to the best of America. Of course, he didn't "say" it to us, he just demonstrated his disdain for the Constitution and Bill of Rights. No, he said it in the relative privacy of his West Wing; however, he has never denied it. Not exactly a default admission of guilt.
BTW, an excellent virginal rant! You're even better now...
And, if you're keeping track, I've found some of the answers to my questions (in my original comment). How quickly things are becoming uncovered. We now know more about The Puppeteer and his clueless sock-puppet. More rats are deserting his ship-of-state and some rats have even developed the ability to speak.
Where this will go, I won't speculate. I want too much...
