Daniel Ellsberg, Johnson, Bush, Loyalty vs. Betrayal
A story of morality and ethics, and how Ellsberg exceeded the value of both presidents, by forsaking displaying courage, and trampling all-over, greed, violence and stupidity.
When Doctor Daniel Ellsberg was just 33 years old, he was appointed special assistant to Assistant Secretary of Defense John McNaughton. In his very first day, there the North Vietnamese navy allegedly fired 21 torpedoes at U.S. naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. Less than one hundred people were allowed access to top-secret transmissions, which indicated that the news was incorrect or bogus-the attack never happened.
With more than 200 people at the inaugural Ware Seminar on Global Citizenship at Elizabethtown College's Center for Global Citizenship, last Thursday evening Ellsberg said, "I knew Congress was being deceived into a declaration of war and that the public was being totally deceived into a landslide victory for a man who was about to plunge them into a big war." President Lyndon Johnson, used the situation of the false report of the non-incident to enflame the American people and thereby dragging America into war with Vietnam."
Doctor Daniel Ellsberg was not only a very bright young fellow but he also possessed a conscience. That cannot be said about many of those to which the title of this article refers. Ellsberg, now a 76-year-old activist, first gained attention during the Vietnam War by releasing the Pentagon Papers to several newspapers, including the New York Times and others, thereby outing unknown U.S. policy decisions concerning the war and its escalation.
Ellsberg said that of late he believes a coup has been organized with the presidency of George Bush, calling it, "rogue administration." I hail Dr. Ellsberg, in repeating what I have been saying since the impeachment of President Clinton. The Democrats paid no attention either to many who tried in vain to set them on the right path, including me back then and even less now. These days I find little difference, aside from talk between the two parties and those who pretend that this is not the case, are engaging in intellectual masturbation.
Ellsberg is convinced, as are many of us, that if another terrorist attack occurs in the United States, the president would suspend and dismantle the Constitution and that hundreds of thousands of Middle Easterners and dissidents could end up in detention camps. "I think we're in danger - we're in a crisis," he said. I think he is partially correct. I think this is the one time in history that real men must come to the aid of their Constitution, but because, perhaps unlike Ellsberg, I believe that the mercenaries which are allegedly picking-off innocent civilians, are practicing, for what they are planning to do here to Americans who oppose the bevy of treasonous cowards. I further believe that it isn't a matter of chance that "IF" there is a new 9/11 terrorist attack, or even that it will be a matter of chance that there "may be a terrorist attack."
I believe with all of my heart that the grandsons of those who attempted, along with Prescott Bush, to usurp FDR's presidency, in the 1930's, are hard at work planning a faux "terrorist attack," planned and executed by agents of members of this administration who have displayed enough treasonous behavior, that had they lived in General George Washington's or Abe Lincolns administration would have been dragged from the White House and congress by their collars and slammed into prison awaiting trial for High Treason. I further believe that if the Democrats capture the presidency and do not commence a War Trial and High Treason Trial against this administration, from top to bottom, then they are as guilty as these traitors.
Further, were I president, the day after the election, I would declare war on the mercenaries, every single one of them and the companies that hired them and their executives, and bring them to justice. It is time money stops talking and shuts the Hell up forever. Real Americans are sick and tired of overt, covert, treason and of cowards in congress and to that effort my time and money are going to Cindy Sheehan to begin a process of bringing the demoniacs to justice. I would then search out all of the subversive institutions, whether churches, "think tanks," mercenaries, industrialists, businesses and sweep the nation free of treason to our sacred documents, and for spilling blood and guts and defecating all over the dignity of this great nation and its people and for mass-murdering the people of another nation to satisfy the insanity of a group of men and women who are in league with Satan's biblically illiterate faux churches, which are a blasphemy upon the name of the True God and Satan's oil companies.
Lincoln, said: "The people are masters of both congress and courts, not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow those who pervert the constitution." In the coming election, (2008) I am asking here, and now, for all Americans to wake up and vote out the bastards. It is time for the single, employed, females, 60% of which did not vote in 2004, to put aside their personal agenda and pretend that they are responsible citizens and vote. It is time for those males who claim to be Americans, but often neglect they duty to their nation by pissing away their lives watching TV and drinking beer until their tummies look like watermelons and instead serve it as best, they can, by at least voting in presidential elections.
However, in the thirteen months leading up to that election, we must ask, are our top military commanders, and everyone of those of the Republican Party, and those who hold office in Washington, are they all treasonous cowards-Traitors-are not one of them Patriots? Americans are not subscribed to preserve the president, but to preserve the Constitution. And this, none of those in congress have done.
Political War Criminals have charge of our government-criminals who have matched the atrocities of Hitler, Stalin and Mao, but because they have money, and because their opponents are timid to the point of the distraction of supporters, their crimes go unabated. Those in The White House, their contractors, and supporters, still steal the wealth of our people and our treasury to emptiness, and still nothing is done. Oil is projected to rise to between $150-$200 a barrel and nothing is done. Habeas Corpus has been eliminated and still nothing is done. The Constitution has been fragmented and still, nothing is done.
Dr. Daniel Ellsberg Ph.D., said he has been called a traitor numerous times for breaking a "vow of secrecy" when he released the Pentagon Papers. Dr. Ellsberg pointed to actions taken by Bush that he said violate the law, including endorsing warrantless surveillance and lying to Congress about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. At the same time, he was quick to chastise the Democrats in Congress, saying that by going along with Bush's war they've failed their duty to uphold the Constitution.
He said the Senate resolution passed last Wednesday declaring Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, as a terrorist organization is an invitation for Bush to declare war on Iran.
Ellsberg compared Wednesday's resolution to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, passed Aug. 7, 1964, that gave Johnson a virtually blank check for combat in North Vietnam. He laid out a scenario of $200 a barrel for oil, the possibility of retaliatory attacks against the U.S. and the president keeping open the "nuclear option" to attack Iran. He said he is asking people in government who have information that could stop such a war before it happens to not do what he did by releasing the Pentagon Papers after the war started. He said they should do what he didn't do - release the information before a disaster happens. "Don't wait till the war has started," Ellsberg told the audience. "Don't wait till the bombs are falling or thousands more have died."
Dr. Ellsberg said he took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution - the same oath all-military and public servants are required to take. "It is not an oath to the president," Ellsberg said. "And it's not an oath to keep secrets. This is/was not an oath to the commander in chief, or the Fuhrer or Caesar or to the flag. "It is an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God, against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

The above bio harvested from the comments of Deans, colleagues, students, clients and collector's.
or, at least, minimize the control the perpetrators would possess afterwards, is by educating people of the current LEGAL PROCEEDINGS regarding the actual 9/11 attacks:
Dr Morgan Reynolds, the former Chief Economist of the US Dept of Labor, is suing private contractors alleging they defrauded the government by supplying bogus analyses for the official 9/11 NIST Report of an aluminum airplane with a plastic nosecone gliding into a steel/concrete building.
Dr Reynolds is represented by attorney Jerry Leaphart, and is demanding a Trial By Jury.
The US District Court, Southern New York, recently unsealed the case and Mr Leaphart is now notifying the Defendants.
Dr Judy Wood, a former Professor of Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University, recently filed an appeal with the government for their refusal to retract their report on the World Trade Center destruction. Dr Wood (and Dr Reynolds) have compiled much evidence demonstrating that the WTC was destroyed with directed energy weapons. She has been in contact with government officials and is getting results. See Dr Wood's site for evidence of directed energy weapons and PDFs of official Request for Corrections filed with the government.
Dr Wood is also represented by Jerry Leaphart.
Dr Wood is the only 9/11 Research Scientist to get NIST to confirm the statement in their own report of not having analyzed the "collapses" of the towers. This confirmation comes in NIST's response to Dr Wood's Request for Correction, both of which are archived here. The relevant quote from the Chief, Management and Organization Division at NIST to Dr Wood is as follows:
"As stated in NCSTAR 1, NIST only investigated the factors leading to the initiation of the collapses of the WTC towers, not the collapses themselves."
In addition, Trial Lawyer Jerry Leaphart said in an interview with Kevin Barrett:
"What I can tell you and the listeners, Kevin, is this. There is more admissible evidence associated with the theory that the World Trade Center was destroyed by directed energy weapons than there is admissible evidence for any single other theory out there that has been promulgated."
In them you will find at least two articles, one devoted to FDR's forcing contactors to rebate 97% of their profits. I urged all my congressmen to do the same. When I went into the service, my pay dropped by 90%. I see no reason why if soldiers must sacrifice and lose money why contractyors should make profits. This is their nation also. Where is ther sacrifice?

Short of a "general's revolt" when Bush decides to attack Iran [notice I did not say "if"], we need someone of conscience to be the next Deep Throat.
Of all the people in the administration, you'd think there would be one person who would have the cajones to some how, some way get copies of memos or other proof of what this administration is secretly and illegally up to, out to the press.

on the types of subhumans described by Prof. Peter Bagnol so eloquently I can only say that they have a major weakness- they are greedy beyond belief and never know where to stop. That greed should be exploited big time. In short- we here in the US must understand that greedy bastards are really greedy bastards and as Churchill said, " A gentleman likes animals but does not negotiate with them'. This is a new era now and that era dictates that whatever they do is bad, folks so disengage from them. They are not Americans. They are parasites. If you realise it, it would be much easier to make decisions, the right ones.
