The right wing thinks that because Bush fucked up Iraq, more Americans should die. The right wing thinks that because Bush has waged war on all the wrong countries, more Americans should die. The right wing thinks that because Bush's approval ratings are in the toilet, more Americans should die!There is something psychotic about the right wing's perverse nostalgia for those halcyon days of national tragedy --the deaths of some 3,000 innocent people, most of whom were American citizens. There is but pure evil in the right wing's wish to find in American deaths, Bush's vindication. Columnist Stu Bykofsky who hopes "terrorists" strike the US for our own good.
ONE MONTH from The Anniversary, I'm thinking another 9/11 would help America.What this bastard Byofsky is saying is that because Bush fucked up his war of naked aggression against a nation that even GOP fanatics now admit had nothing whatsoever to do with the events of 911, the US should be struck by terrorists again.
What kind of a sick bastard would write such a thing?

A bastard so sick of how splintered we are politically - thanks mainly to our ineptitude in Iraq - that we have forgotten who the enemy is.
It is not Bush and it is not Hillary and it is not Daily Kos or Bill O'Reilly or Giuliani or Barack. It is global terrorists who use Islam to justify their hideous sins, including blowing up women and children.
...Iraq has fractured the US into jigsaw pieces of competing interests that encourage our enemies. We are deeply divided and division is weakness.
It's not surprising that Bkkofsky's biggest booster was Faux News with a headline across the screen that read:
NEED ANOTHER 911
It would appear to me that the right wing has given their treasonous game away. They are positively nostalgic about 911. The phrase "need another 911" sounds like a call for action. The phrase sounds for all the world like a signal. Need another 911!!
Homeland Security Director, Michael Chertoff, member of the radical "Federalist Society", states that he has a feeling in his gut that Bykofky will get his wish --another deadly terrorist attack!
He got as specific as saying that al-Qaida seems to like the summer, but as to the rest of it, he is perfectly content to let us sit and wait and worry — and to contemplate his gut.Ric Santorum on the Hugh Hewitt radio show, wistfully implied that more terrorist attacks will occur and that they will "... alter the body politic" leading to a reversal of the anti-war sentiment in America. Again, the right wing theme is sounded. The right wing seeks in the deaths of more innocent Americans a vindication of Bush's policy of aggression, torture and war crimes.
His gut!
We used to have John Ashcroft’s major announcements.
We used to have David Paulison’s breathless advisories about how to use duct tape against radiation attacks.
We used to have Tom Ridge’s color-coded threat levels.
Now we have Michael Chertoff’s gut!
At last --there is Bush himself.
There are several things wrong with this mindset:Bush Claims Power to Wage War on US Citizens
Bush proves himself a "state absolutist", arrogating unto himself the power to wage war on the American people.The President is now claiming, and is aggressively exercising, the right to use any and all war powers against American citizens even within the United States, and he insists that neither Congress nor the courts can do anything to stop him or even restrict him.So when Bush says that the "Constitution is just a Goddamned piece of paper", he aligns himself with Hitler, Mussolini, Mao -- "state absolutists", fascists, and radical communists.—Glenn Greenwald: The NSA Fight Begins - Strategies for Moving Forward
- It ignores a fact: Bush and GOP policies cause terrorism. I have the stats to prove it.[See: The Heritage Foundation Picks a Fight with the Cowboy and Terrorism is Worse Under GOP Regimes ]
- To find Bush's vindication in the deaths of more innocent Americans is a symptom of a very virulent form of psychotic delusion. Again --Bush's wars have had nothing to do with terrorism other than to make terrorism worse.
- To wish for the deaths of innocent Americans is symptomatic of an utter lack of empathy, said by Dr. Gustav Gilbert --whose job it was to interview accused Nazi war criminals --to be the very root of "evil"

What boggles my mind is that such incredibly sick constructs as "We NEED ANOTHER 9/11 are mouthed seriously and under the guise of uber-patriotism. It appeals to the non-thinking, hopelessly kool-aide drunk minions.
I'm agast that anybody who spouts such nonesense can be taken seriously....
but such is the world under GWB.

These people are what Carl Jung feared, that is, they are but instances of mass psychosis.
Hannah Arendt also wrote about the "banality of evil", exemplified most commonly by the bureaucratic murder of Jews and other minorities by Nazis. Similarly, Dr. Gustav Gilbert, who interviewed the Nazi war criminals (before they were hanged) said that they exemplified the "utter lack of empathy" which he said defined "evil".
I have often written and defended my position: the GOP is not a political party, it is a crime syndicate, a criminal conspiracy. Lately, it's become even worse. The GOP IS the evil empire and they have made same of the US.
The advocacy of murder and mass destruction, moreover, is NOT protected free speech! It is worse than yelling FIRE in a crowded theater which Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes flatly stated was not protected speech under the First Amendment. Holmes wrote: "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic..."
Holmes was not smart enough to quit while he was ahead. His observation about fires and theaters was valid enough as far as it went. However, Holmes claimed that the distribution of anti-draft literature during WWI was analogous to yelling fire in a crowded theater. That simply was NOT so...especially in WWI which the US entered rather late in the day. Moreover, there was never a threat of imminent invasion of US territory. Holmes' analogy, was rather, overblown and most certainly not based upon a scholarly interpretation of the First Amendment.
Just another quick note.

And yet there is one frequent commenter on my blog who says the people that want to take our freedoms away are the "fascist left."
It's 1984 and up is down and down is up.
Homeland Security, is giving money to the States, and Cities to start placing camera's , so they can watch our every move. Don't you love it. Their all over England and of course China.
I'm sure it is in the hopes to disturb people, frighten them so they wouldn't demonstrate against the War and Bush.
Of course, Len is right they are trying to put the fear of God into us. They have been doing that since 9-11.
In the end it takes courage, to move forward and pursue every avenue whether it be the printed word or talking to to others about what this group has done in regards to breaking our laws, torture, detention centers etc. Right always wins!

Yep! That's been their fallacious mantra all along.
I have several answers.
1) But it was the right wing that, in fact DID take away our freedoms.
2) Historically, it is ALWAYS the right wing that "takes" away freedom.
3) What difference does it make to me whether I am enslaved by Hitler or by Stalin? Labels don't mean a thing! It's what is actually done that counts and, again, it is the right wing that ALWAYS comes down against freedom! Period!
4) That the right wing would say that is not surprising; it's a cover story. The right wing never tells you what they really want to do. The HIDDEN AGENDA and the fact is: the right wing ALWAYS takes your freedom away.
They did it via Hitler and now they've done it via Bush.
Those are the facts that Bush's apologists will have to live with.
When Bush falls --and he will --we will simply start at the top of the list. Justice time! US Codes title 18, Section 2441 specify the death penalty. Bush and his close advisors are in violation of that provision.
The problem with American politics is that for several reason (I won't go into now) there are only two viable parties and neither will tell you truth.
The GOP lies because no one would vote for them if they ever told the truth about what they really intend to do TO you!
The Democrats lie because they fear the GOP counter attack if they dared to tell the truth.
Of the two, the Democrats are the less odious.
If we had a mult-party system, we might get at the truth. But there are many reasons we don't have such a system. Perhaps I should write an article about why we don't.

On the upside, TurdBlossom is officially looking for another dung heap. For the good of his family.
Ain't that just too bad.
I got the strong impression on 9-11, and in the days and weeks after, that the right wing in this country was secretly glad. What they thought they had was another Pearl Harbor, something that would get 90% of Americans marching in lockstep and marginalize any opposition. It worked for a few months. Their own hubris and incompetence unraveled it. Now some are brazen enough to admit this sentiment. What's another 3,000 or so people, when you've got a country to "unite." Mere collateral damage.

Every organization is pathological. Real reasons for leaving include "falling on the sword" for the assholes in power and getting the hell out before the shit hits the fan. At a time when Bush is in the toilet and the GOP is under seige, you can take your pick. One, the other or both. Wanting to spend more time with the wifey and kiddos is the cue card response.
CNN, by the way, is wrong in giving the impression that Karl Rove was in any way innovative in the use of direct mail circa 1980. George McGovern had already pioneered direct mail in his run against Nixon in the early '70s.

As I recall, it was the PNAC document entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses" that recalled Peal Harbor with such fond nostalgia.
The document identified four "core missions": 1) defend the American homeland; 2) fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars; 3) perform the "constabulary" duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical region; 4) transform US forces to exploit the "revolution in military affairs."
PNAC said that, in order to carry out that programs, the US would need to "nuclear strategic superiority", "restore the personnel strength" of US forces, and "reposition US forces to respond to 21st Century strategic concerns in East Asia".
Aside from being flawed in its inception, this program fails, as has Bush, to define those "21st Century strategic concerns". I suspect that those are GOP/right wing code words for "steal Middle East oil".
An analogy: the theft of Polish coal for the production of synthetic fuels was, for Hitler, a "strategic concern".

Len sez: "CNN, by the way, is wrong in giving the impression that Karl Rove was in any way innovative in the use of direct mail circa 1980. George McGovern had already pioneered direct mail in his run against Nixon in the early '70s."
Followed the '72 campaign with passion and gusto. Some freak on the National Affairs Desk at Rolling Stone magazine was speaking directly to dissidents worldwide, especially those whose asses were pencilled in for Hamburger Hill.
Anyway, I remember how Gary Hart and Frank Mankiewitz guided(a la Rove but with integrity) George McGovern's doomed campaign. They never gave up, providing focus for the anti-Vietnam war movement and Uncle Sammy's humiliating exit, three years later.
Uncle Duke admired Frank Mankiewitz, once describing how during the frenzied campaign, Frank could alight from a commercial flight, home in on an airport wall-phone (this was pre-cell days) and co-ordinate the whole show with an address book, a fistful of quarters, and an irrepressible spritz. And always with a heart full of hope. Sewer-snipes like TurdBlossom don’t belong on the same planet as Frank M, Gary H. and the principled Senator from South Dakota, George McGovern.
The Imbecile, barring impeachment, can only protect his “brain” until Jan 09. Then a whole bunch of legal eagles, well-versed in Constitutional Law as well as the tenets of fundamental human decency are going to ignite a squibb or two in the “architect’s” foundations. ‘Twill be then, comrades, in a denuoement of such sweet symmetry, that we’ll witness Karl fall on his own footprints too, as he takes the rest of the muthas with him.
Either that or, we outspoken folk will all be in Gulags like Gitmo.
Let me get this straight. The need for another attack is to wake people up. The need to wake people up is so that their vigilance would prevent another attack.
Sounds to me like somebody needs a lesson in rudimentary logic.

A Hunter Thompson trove here and what he was working when he was "suicided" here. Also: Hunter Thompson was working on WTC collapse story before mysterious sudden death, warned he'd be 'suicided'
I remember how Gary Hart and Frank Mankiewitz guided(a la Rove but with integrity) George McGovern's doomed campaign.
The US might have become a better country had McGovern won that race. It was the death of American idealism. Our hopes had already been dashed with the right wing murder of JFK. I will write a JFK piece but the right wing won't like it.
The motion picture Executive Action cited a statistical study which placed the odds of so many key JFK "witnesses" dying off under such suspicious circumstances at a BILLION TO ONE!
Also see: Executive Action and more here.
I suppose we should be grateful McGovern was not murdered. Almost everyone else had been "suicided" or killed in weird accidents.
The Imbecile, barring impeachment, can only protect his “brain” until Jan 09. Then a whole bunch of legal eagles, well-versed in Constitutional Law as well as the tenets of fundamental human decency are going to ignite a squibb or two in the “architect’s” foundations."
If they are not murdered first.
The GOP strategy is very simple. LIE, STEAL, MURDER!
The GOP is still powerful but cornered. They will start murdering folk soon.
Remember JFK, Jr and Paul Wellstone.
I am serious when I say that the GOP is NOT a political party. It's a racket, a crime syndicate, a criminal conspiracy. And it should be treated as such.
In the sixties, thanks to the memory of the Joe Hill, the "word" was organize. In the wake of all our tragic experiences, I would modify that: ORGANIZE, INVESTIGATE, AGITATE, PROSECUTE!
I am one angry dude.

Logic --let alone truth --was never the right wing's strong suit. Could the GOP, many have asked, really perpetrate the events of 911 in order to give Bush the dictatorship that he so obviously and overtly wanted and coveted?
Yep!
Is the GOP planning another surprise now?
Yep!
And Bush Sr will probably be lurking around in the background, like the ghoulish spook he is, just as he was in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
I think it's time the right wing got its ass kicked! And when I say "ass kicked" I mean that in the "Texas" sense of the term.
From the Film "Executive Action" [1973]
Chris: Yeah, I got his rifle. It's a 6.5 millimeter Italian Carcano. It shoots high and to the left, and the bolt sticks. Christ, the Italians quit makin' these 25 years ago! They called it "The rifle that never hurt anyone... on purpose!"
BTW --the film "Executive Action" was based on Mark Lane's book Rush to Judgement. Both Lane's book and the motion picture --Executive Action (1973) were most certainly strong influences on Oliver Stones JFK.
So --Karl Rove resigned.
BFD!!!
He should have done the HONORABLE thing.
We have the right to drive you insane.
Well it is said that psychopaths can recognize each other in society. They have been banding together for decades to prey on the rest of us. Wolves in sheep's clothing for sure. The majority of the world can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that these people not only mean exactly what they say, but are supremely confident the sheeple will not wake enough to notice.
re what was lost with JFK and RFK, there is a remarkable 8-hour series called "Evidence of Revision" available on YouTube. It's worth every minute. You will never look at the events of the "60s and '70's the same way again. All five links listed here:

Nolo, thanks for the encouragement. Keep the faith and keep up the great work. You will always find a forum here. Until we are all declared enemies of the State of GOP, that is.
Alex Jones is right they are all part of a Death Cult
The suggestion that Michael Chertoff has guts is silly. It seems more likely that he extrudes his stomach to absorb the bound, gagged victims brought to him by the secret service.
Good one, Campbell...
