The GOP --a Parasite That Murdered Its Host
(3 comments) The nation must prepare to witness a collapse not seen since that of Rome, we conclude that Bush Jr finished the job begun by Reagan, that is the economic destruction of the United States --its economy, its education, its source of wealth, its future, its security!

'Great Depression' Lessons from 'It's a Wonderful Life'
Watching CNN leaves one the impression that the US is poised, like George Baily on a bridge, about to jump off into another Great Depression. George Baily owned the local 'Building and Loan' from which he received deposits which he loaned to build homes in Bedford Falls, a symbolic American 'every town'.

The End of the Rule of Law in America
(2 comments) US troops are back home in America to wage war upon the people of the US. New laws make public dissent of any kind --however peaceful --an act of 'terrorism'. Congress was threatened with martial law, literally blackmailed, into passing the infamous and ineffective bailout! The threat of martial law, therefore, is not only in the official record, it is made clear with the domestic use of US troops in American streets.

The Twilight of the GOP on the Eve of Great Depression II
'This generation of political leaders', primarily GOP, 'have failed utterly and catastrophically to project any sense of authority.' These are the words of a party on the eve of eclipse and the Great Depression II that they will have helped bring out.

The Alley Oop Candidate
Palin said "Yes, I have seen images of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them!", a statement consistent with her attempts to get 'creationists' on school boards. A 'creationist' believes that human beings were contemporary with dinosaurs because 'creation' took place just 6,000 years ago. When we look up into the night sky, we wee Andromeda as it as it was two million years ago. If the Earth were but six

Bush Proves Karl Marx Right About 'Capitalism'
(2 comments) Unfairly, a bailout price tag of some 700 billion dollars will be picked up by the American middle and poorer classes. None of those actually bearing the brunt of this transfer of wealth will benefit from it directly. The beneficiaries are those among some one percent of the nation who own about 99 percent of its total wealth.

Obama Wins Debate, Calls 'Crisis' a 'Final Verdict'
Barack Obama seized the offensive and never lost it! Setting the tone at the outset, he charged that McCain had been a 'loyal supporter' of an unpopular President over a period of eight years. He called the current financial crisis 'a final verdict on eight years of failed economic policies promoted by President Bush and supported by Sen. McCain.' We can't afford another four, he said.

Evidence that Bush Will Exploit 'Crisis' to Declare Martial Law
(2 comments) Having spent '35 of the last 60 months' patrolling Iraq armed and in uniform, the 1st Brigade Combat Team has been re-assigned. According to the Army Times, it will perform the same duties in the United States --or, as the Times puts it --"at home".

Three Reasons JFK was Murdered
(3 comments) Those who benefited most from his murder are most certainly guilty of it. Qui bono? JFK tried to stripe the power of the FED, abolish the Oil Depletion Allowance, and 'smash the CIA into a thousand pieces'. No President since JFK has dared to piss off so many powerful and ruthless people.

What McCain, Palin Have in Common with The Third Reich
(1 comments) Albert Speer is credited with having said that Nazi Germany was built upon empty, meaningless platitudes. The same can be said of every GOP 'reign of terror' --be it Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan or, more, recently George W. Bush. It is can said, as well, of the McCain-Palin campaign.

The Prosecution of George W. Bush, et al, for Mass Murder, High Treason
(2 comments) The fact that George W. Bush ordered and/or 'signed off' on that series of crimes called 911 can be proven in court. George W. Bush, therefore, must be prosecuted for the crimes of high treason, waging war upon the people of the US, and instances of mass murder in the US, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Who was involved in 9/11? Documentary reveals shocking facts
(2 comments) On the anniversary of 9/11, an Italian-produced documentary called ZERO, investigating the tragedy, is opening in Russia. The authors believe that the U.S. official version of events surrounding the attacks can't be true. U.S. networks have rejected the film.

'Songbird' McCain Exploits 911, Hopes to Become Bush's Third Term
Viet Nam Veterans and North Vietnamese call McCain 'Songbird" because he 'sang' like one while while a POW in Viet Nam. How does that qualify him to lead the US into war against people who had absolutely NOTHING to do with 911? It doesn't. McCain, like Giuliani before him, must be desperate. McCain is running on Giuliani's tried and failed mantra --911, 911, 911, 911.

Princeton University Reveals How the GOP Steals Election
Unless something is done, the GOP will steal the next election as well. Unless something is done, this series of primaries means absolutely nothing. The fix is undoubtedly in. Unless something is done, the GOP will walk away with another stolen election, another GOP nincompoop will foist upon the nation his personal and vainglorious ambitions of empire.

Sarah Palin Denies Global Warming, Says Polar Bears Not Endangered
(1 comments) Alaska leads the US in global warming! As for Polar Bears --Alaska's entire population of Polar Bears will be killed off by the year 2050 unless Palin's policies are stopped now. These developments are concurrent with the increase of oil exploration and drilling in Alaska. Palin is lying about Alaska, about oil, about Polar Bears and about Global Warming.

What Terrifies the Bush Administration
It has been asked what this government is afraid of. Rob Kall of OpEdNews made the point that America's most deadly weapons, formidable contingents of men in arms has failed to prove or demonstrate that the US is "powerful" --only that it is, in fact, afraid! What IS it that absolutely terrifies the Bush administration as well as the campaign of John McCain?

How McCain's Palin Pick Makes 'Age' Issue Number One
McCain's choice was designed to blunt the age issue. If McCain had chosen well, it might have been unfair to ask: what if the old codger should die in office? Now, it is irresponsible NOT to ask that question. Now --the campaign is all about age.

Impeachment Won't Help; Only Revolution Will Save America
(37 comments) If you happen to be among the top one percent of the nation, then, Bush has done a fabulous job for you. He's has enriched you and your type. You benefited from 911 which made possible Bush's agenda of aggressive war, dismantling the Constitution, and packing the courts. You should be proud and probably are.

The Beijing Olympics: Another Vulgar Celebration of Greed and 'Corporatist' Values
(4 comments) Over the next three weeks, we will watch a slick propaganda parade of Chinese "sporting heroes". We will NOT see the real Chinese regime that perpetrated the Massacre at Tiananmen Square. You will see, instead, the corporate face of fascism and tyranny.

Bush Sr's Faustian Bargain with China or How US/China Trade Threatens to Wipe Out the US Middle Class
(2 comments) US/China trade has benefited China and a US elite consisting of about 1 percent of the nation's total population. It should come as no surprise, then, that the origins of US/China Trade are traced to the GOP administration of Richard Nixon. It was George Bush Sr who laid the groundwork for the sellout of the US Middle Class.

Treason and Conspiracy: How Bush and his 'Material Supporters' Betrayed the Nation!
George W. Bush must answer to charges that he committed high treason and capital crimes, but also those who provided him with guilty 'material support' knowing that they would be enriched by his treasonous, murderous adventures, war crimes and frauds! Bush was not only bought and paid for but he sold his co-conspirators the nation as he sold out the people. There are two terms for this: 'high treason' and 'tyranny'!

Bugliosi to Congress: "The Bush administration has gotten away with thousands and THOUSANDS of murders!"
(2 comments) Offering the committee incriminating, documentary evidence to substantiate his charges, Bugliosi urged the committee to make a 'criminal referral' to the Justice Department to begin a criminal investigation of Bush and members of his administration to determine whether first degree murder charges should be brought against 'certain members of this administration'.Clearly --Bugliosi thinks the evidence supports not just an 'ind

Federal Judge Ruling: George W. Bush is a Felon
Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the US District Court in California has ruled that President George W. Bush is a felon in connection with Al-Harmain Islamic Foundation Inc. v Bush. It's now official that Bush's program of 'warrantless spying' is a crime against the people of the US.

The Un-American Lies of Antonin Scalia
(3 comments) It's time the American people fired the man who thinks himself 'too smart for the (Supreme) court'. Scalia has done it again. The architect of Bush v Gore, the disingenuous decision that stuck us with Bush, has stooped to yet another low. Scalia will tell bald faced lies to prop up his bullshit 'opinions'.

Release 'Detainees''; Charge and Imprison Bush for Capital Crimes
The Bush administration is trying once again to rewrite history and the law, specifically 'the official evidence against Guantanamo Bay detainees'. Typically the legal eagles in the Bush regime have it backward. Bushco should not be given a second chance to fabricate a case when it had none to begin with.

How Bush Helped Establish a Corporate 'New World Order'
(2 comments) 'Terrorism' is merely the pretext cited by George W. Bush to begin a series of oil wars that John McCain says may last '10,000 years'. Bush has helped his corporate 'base' create a 'New World Order' in which robber barons of big oil, assisted by 'big media', rule the world and plunder its resources. Bush is their tool!

Jung: Resisting the 'New World Order'
It is said of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung [1875 - 1961] that he was 'prophetic of today's ongoing debate about religion and science' as well as a much older debate about the 'individual' and the 'state'. Today --the GOP has demagogued religion while Bush, the party's flag bearer, has thrown in with 'state absolutists' --Friedrich Hegel, Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler and Pol Pot.

The Blood on Bush's hands
(1 comments) The equations of Einstein and Newton prove Bush a goddamned liar! If an airliner of some 100 tons had crashed into the Pentagon, some 100 tons of debris would have been recovered. It wasn't recovered because it wasn't there! Not even Bush's kiss ups have dared make such a claim!

Gore Vidal: Gore Vidal's Article of Impeachment
(5 comments) Naturally, I do not want to sound hard, but let me point out that even a banana Republican would be distressed to discover how much of our nation's treasury has been siphoned off by our vice president in the interest of his Cosa Nostra company, Halliburton, the lawless gang of mercenaries set loose by his administration in the Middle East.

Kucinich Moves to Impeach Bush
(1 comments) Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has introduced 35 articles of impeachment George W. Bush. At the top of a list of 'impeachable offenses' is "Article I: Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq."

The Brutal, 'Iraqi' Education That Awaits John McCain
Does victory consist of Halliburton getting all the oil it wants, raising the price of oil to every American still dependent upon fossil fuel vehicles? Does victory consist of a 'peace' (read: occupation) that an American presence is required for 100, perhaps, as McCain has suggested, 10,000 years? I don't think so, McCain!

American plans to loot Iraqi oil and other Bush war crimes
(1 comments) Though Bush has given every other lie and cover story to justify the US war of aggression against Iraq, the real reasons for the 'war' are now openly admitted. An article in American Daily proposes that the oil fields of Iraq be seized and plundered to pay off America's national debt of some 9.3 trillion dollars. Problem is --that's a war crime!

Bush's Conspiracy to Create an American Police State Part VIII: Atrocities are justified with lies, myths or propaganda
(8 comments) Bush is a rotten, transparent bald-faced liar and anyone still believing him is either stupid or complicit. Bush said: "We do not torture!" And all the while, his administration was working to 'legalize' the capital crimes that Bush himself had clearly ordered. What followed was an organized campaign of lies to justify torture.

The Origins of the Bush Regime in Hitler's Third Reich
(5 comments) The Bush family transplanted Nazi ideology to American soil where it took root and thrived. During World War II, the Bush family betrayed America, helped finance Adolph Hitler, and laid the groundwork for the creation of the CIA.

Bush's Conspiracy to Create an American Police State: Part VII, The Government Denies 'Due Process of Law'
When Bush sought 'powers' beyond those delegated in the Constitution, 911 had not yet occurred. When Bush sought to exempt US soldiers from war crimes prosecution, 911 was months away. Had Bush foreseen the vents of 911? What 'forbidden knowledge' or, more realistically, what 'secret plots' had he already hatched to foment a dictatorship?

Imminent Arrest of Americans for War Crimes?
(3 comments) The 'net' is abuzz with talk of the imminent arrest of Americans for war crimes -tortures that were ordered by Bush, anticipated by then House Speaker Tom Delay who sought to exempt Bush from war crimes charges. Bush 'lawyers' have rewritten US Codes prescribing the death penalty for specific violations of the Geneva Conventions. Did Bush anticiapte, perhaps, plan 911? What other explanation is there?

Tuesday, April 8, 2008
You Can't Handle the Truth
(8 comments) Two truths denied by nation and media: 1) Bush and Cheney are war criminals; 2) 911 was an inside job. In the meantime, unless something is done, Bush will have led this nation into another bloody, criminal war crime: an attack --possibly nuclear --upon Iran.

Evidence That the CIA Murdered RFK
A new BBC documentary supports the conclusion that the CIA planned and executed the assassination of Robert Kennedy. The new video and photographic evidence -- the result of a three year long investigation --"puts three senior CIA operatives" at the scene of the murder.

The Probable Cause to Charge Dick Cheney with Mass Murder, Terrorism, and High Treason
(6 comments) There is probable cause to indict Dick Cheney for the crime of supervising the events of 911, a capital crime consisting of high treason and mass murder. Not only was Cheney 'supervising' events that day, both Bush and Rice lied about it to the media and the American people.

Why George W. Bush Should Stand Trial for Capital Crimes
There is probable cause now to try George W. Bush for capital crimes in connection with the US program of torture at Abu Ghraib as well as the war of aggression against Iraq. There is evidence that George W. Bush ordered this program which most certainly resulted in numerous violations of the Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Principles. Federal law makes those violations punishable by death.

CIA Holocaust Claims Twenty Million Victims
(4 comments) The CIA has committed heinous acts of terrorismm on behalf of an increasing tiny, privileged American elite. On behalf of this tiny, privileged base, the CIA has placed itself above law or effective supervision. The CIA's war on the world has claimed an estimated 12 million to 20 million victims, far more than the best estimates attributed to Adolph Hitler's 'Holocaust' of World War

John McCain's 10,000 Years War
McCain wants to keep US troops in permanent bases in Iraq for "hundreds of years". He concedes that an Iraqi insurgency will likely continue for "go on for years and years and years", possibly 10,000 years.

US Cops Go Out of Control; US Citizens No Longer Safe
(7 comments) The US has become 'Thug Nation', defending and practicing torture abroad while, at home, cops run wild and out of control. Meanwhile, Bush predicts a terrorist attack that will make 911 'pale by comparison'. Are cops rehearsing for martial law?

Bush Wages War on Americans
(5 comments) When George W. Bush said of our "Constitution that it is "... just a Goddamn piece of paper!", he declared himself an outlaw at war with the American people. The Bush administration's culture of fear, hate and contempt for law inspires an epidemic of police lawlessness and thuggery that now terrorizes law-abiding Americans all over America. You can be thrown in jail upon a whim. You don't get to make a phone call.

Tasers, Torture and Terror Tactics: America Becomes a Police State
Torture and atrocities are not confined to Abu Ghraib. In and out of the nation's 'out-sourced' penal institutions, perverts with badges terrorize the nation, threatening innocent children, , women and the handicapped. Everyone is a target.

Of Bush and Evil: The Nature of his Crime Against Humanity
A "state" wishing to eradicate "unpredictability of human affairs" --as both Hitler and Mussolini were said to have attempted -- must make of its own apparatus an inhuman machine utterly lacking empathy. SS members become mere interchangeable parts in a killing machine. Master and slave alike cease to be entirely human. This is the state as machine. Such a state requires its Auschwitz, its Abu Ghraib, its Guantanamo.

The Three Irrefutable Facts That Shatter Bush's Official 911 Theory
(14 comments) Nothing Bush has ever said about 911 is true --nor is there a shred, a scintilla of verifiable evidence in support of it. Bush put forward a crazy conspiracy theory about a world wide conspiracy of radical Arabs and incompetent pilots. Not a word of it can be believed! Three indisputable, verifiable facts utterly disprove everything said by Bush and apologists about 911.

Ronald Reagan is Still Dead!
(1 comments) The GOP must be terribly disappointed in the way things are going so far. Mitt Romney, for example, built his campaign around two words: 'Ronald' and 'Reagan'. The party would make of Ronald Reagan a "savior". Failing live leadership, they would settle for dead heroes and in the end, a political rapture, a "second-coming" of Ronald Reagan! It didn't work. Reagan is still dead!

How an Iranian 'Oil Bourse' Threatens the American Empire
(3 comments) Iran's plans to trade oil in other currencies could sink the weak dollar. Bush, meanwhile, promises that he will join an Isareli nuclear strike on Iran. Is Bush leading us into a nuclear armageddon that cannot be won?

Reagan was no hero but he played one in a movie
Bush leaves in his wake a divided GOP, reduced to summoning up the corpse of Ronald Reagan. A glossed-over, revisionist memory of Reagan is all this miserable, morally bankrupt party has left.

GOP Economics: Keep on Doing Whatever Makes You Sick!
You can't understand the Bush legacy until you come to grips with the GOP mentality best summed up thus: just keep repeating failed strategies, just keep on doing whatever makes you sick, just keep on drinking from the poisoned well.

How Ronald Reagan Blew the World's Last Chance for Peace
(14 comments) Ronald Reagan is remembered for doubling the Federal Bureaucracy, tripling the national debt, and ushering in a two year long depression. He is remembered for making the rich, richer, the poor, poorer and all at taxpayer expense. As bad as all that is, Reagan's lasting legacy is his worst and most dangerous. Reagan may have blown the world's last chance to achieve a non-nuclear peace.

The GOP Will Have to Steal the Next Election Because They Cannot Win it
(20 comments) The Republican party is losing its "business base" because its on the wrong side of every issue that will decide the Presidency and the make up of congress. Those issues include the economy, the endless war, ballooning deficits and health care. A killer issue is a fact gaining traction even among the GOP: the GOP is bad for a good economy.

Economic Tsunami: A Perfect Storm Threatens US Economy
(3 comments) Highly leveraged US expansion, growth and empire are about to be swept away like a bamboo hut. As China leads the world in dumping dollars, the US appears to have exhausted the means by which it can continue to leverage or finance expansion and imperialism.

Divide and Conquer: Why Obama is Flat Wrong About Ronald Reagan
(1 comments) Barack Obama's timing could not have been worse. His thinly veiled comparison of himself to Ronald Reagan comes at a time when the US is poised precipitously at the brink of what may be the longest, deepest recession since Reaganomics ushered in a two year long depression back in 1982.

Bush Think: A Nuclear War Can be Fought and Won!
The origin of 'Bush think' may be found in a scenario dreamed up at the Rand Corporation at the height of the Cold War. Rand had designed mathematical models that dared think the unthinkable: a nuclear war can be won! Typically, the scenario relied heavily on 'game theory'. It proposed to use 'nukes' like poker chips,

How the CIA Created a Ruling, Corporate Overclass in America
(7 comments) The wealthy have always used many methods to accumulate wealth, but it was not until the mid-1970s ruling oligarchs coalesced into an efficient machine. After 1975, it became greater than the sum of its parts, a smooth flowing organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists, think tanks, conservative foundations, and PR firms that hurtled the richest 1 percent into the stratosphere.

Bush Sucks but Texas Blues Kicks Ass
George W. Bush et al will all rot in hell for ravaging Texas' environment and beating out Mississippi for "dead last" in Education. Texas' outsourced prison system must surely rank among the worst in the world with the the possible exception of Abu Ghraib and Gitmo! Stevie Ray Vaughn redeems the Lone Star. The great B.B. King said of Stevie Ray that he literally channeled his blues licks. And so he did!

What If Bill O'Reilly Really Were On the Supreme Court?
If Billo were on the Supreme Court, he might harass Ruth Badar Ginsburg as he, in fact, harassed a Fox producer. For case law, Billo might cite Perry Mason or Judge Judy. Justice Billo will dispatch free speech: AN ATTACK ON ME BY THE LOONY LEFT! His opinions would consist of SHUT UP!

Why Musharraf Lies About the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
If you want to find a culprit, look among those who lie about the crime. Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf failed to provide security for Benazir Bhutto. Now --he's lying about Bhutto, his own role, and the so-called "lone lever" theory of her death.

FOX News Joins BBC in Censoring Benazir Bhutto's Statement That Osama bin Laden Is Dead
(2 comments) The BBC is not alone in "censoring" Bhutto's references to the death of bin Laden. FOX News has aired short clips Bhuttos and, like the "beeb", Fox omits Bhutto's claim that Osama bin Laden is dead.

BBC Censored Benazir Bhutto's Reports that Bin Laden Had Been Murdered
(2 comments) When a news organization as venerable as the BBC censors the reportage of a story as important as the assassination of Benzir Bhutto --a highly visible critic of Bush/British policy with regard to the "War on Terrorism" et al --it is fair to ask: who is the BBC protecting?

With Bush in their pocket, the Carlyle Group buys the "Birth Certificate of Democracy" --the Magna Carta
(5 comments) Freedom's most valuable document, the Magna Carta, has been sold at auction to David Rubenstein, co-founder of the Carlyle Group, a web of Bush supporters if not co-conspirators. This sale of the very origins of our democratic heritage to the Carlyle Group is symbolic of the GOP sell out to the Military Industrial Complex, the merchants of war and death.

The Right Wing Threat of Theocracy
(1 comments) Mitt Romney is trying to "brush off" concerns about his public religiosity, concerns about what Thomas Jefferson called a "wall of separation" between church and state. Romney wants to have it both ways, implying that the founders were Christians, that the US was, in fact, founded upon the principles of "Christian religion". Romney's position is absolutely wrong.

Boxer: "The Biggest Foreign Policy Mistake --EVER!"
The Iraq war is a bait and switch war that has strengthened terrorism, diverted resources, and weakened the US militarily and economically. The war was and remains an immoral war crime against a civilian population. It is characterized by heinous torture outlawed by every international injunction. Sen.

The War Racket: How Americans Pay for Bush's War Crimes at the Bank, the Pump, the Shop & the Graveside
The war on terrorism is a criminal fraud. War is a racket fought by the masses for privileged elites and big corporations. Bush's quagmire is fought for the benefit of no-bid contractors like Halliburton and Blackwater and financed by America's working poor and middle classes who pay for the war -with their lives abroad and with their jobs, their retirement prospects, and their access to health care at

The Name "Bush" is Enough to Lose You a Court Case
Mere mention of Bush's name may tilt the scales of justice against you if you are the one bringing him up. The "decider" is now so reviled that professional consultants advise attorneys: if you want to win your day in court, don't even mention Bush's name in open court.

Is This World War III?
(2 comments) We had been promised a different kind of war, a shadowy war in which "evil doers" would be smoked out and brought to justice. Typical of a "bait and switch" administration, we got a quagmire! Promised limited government, we got Big Brother. Promised no "nation building", we got "nation destruction". Promised "faith based initiatives", we got a half-assed theocracy based on junk theology and claptrap!

Texas: Where Every Fascist Worth his Swastika Owns Himself a Politician Like Bush
The GOP looks and acts like a criminal conspiracy because it is one. It looks like a crime syndicate because it's cheaper to buy a politician than it is to obey the law. With Bush, they proved it all in Texas, a "lab" for a future fascist America.

How Bush Sold Out America
Bush is an ideological hit man for a radical, extremist cabal that hates America and the Constitution. Bush was put into office to pull off a job: execute a contract on the very source of our freedom, the Bill of Rights. Bush's mission: do a job on American freedom, rollback the achievements of the Supreme Court, secure a dictatorship for the blessings --not of liberty --but of big, fat, juicy defense contracts.

The Bush Legacy: One Nation Destroyed; Another Betrayed
A war that many thought would last but a few weeks is now in its fifth year. In that time two nations have been laid waste to. Iraq from without. The US from within. The people of the US, meanwhile, are under attack by their own "President", an ambitious mediocrity obsessed with "religio-psychotic" visions of vainglorious conquest for Jesus and Exxon-Mobil.

Bush Wages Orwellian War on Words and Wins, on Iraq and Loses
Bush defines things in ways that ensure he wins. What if the media tired of Bush's stupid vocabulary and, of its own volition, began calling whomever it is that we are slaughtering and murdering in Iraq what they truly are -- "victims of US oppression", "targets of Blackwater operatives", "human sacrifices to US imperialism"!

It was like watching a baby seal get clubbed, except I enjoyed it
The Existentialist Cowboy made the case that terrorism is much worse under Republican regimes. The Heritage Foundation should have known better than to pick a fight.

The Heritage Foundation Picks a Fight with "Cowboy" Blogger

George W. Bush invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein would have lowered the price of oil and would have insisted upon payment in Euros. It had nothing to do with fighting "terrorism" in Iraq where, in fact, there had been none. It had nothing to do with WMD in Iraq where, in fact, there had been none. It had nothing to do with bringing Democracy to Iraq where, in fact, there is none still.

Poverty Can Make You Get Sick and Die
Stats from several studies prove it. Policies of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and the GOP, in general, have harmed Americans by attacking the public health and increasing death rates as a result.

The Four Biggest Myths about the US War Against the People of Iraq
Lies about Iraq are easily disproved. The myths die harder. Bush lied about Iraq in order to attack and invade. The many myths, however, have to do with the geo-political significance of Iraq, US motives and incompetence, and the nature of the resistance to the illegal US occupation.

Iraq: Only Losers Get Charged with War Crimes
As the sun sets on America's would-be Middle Eastern empire, it is clear that this war was wrong and immoral. This war was and remains a crime. No doubt, Bush had hoped that a victory on the ground would have kept the architects of this crime against humanity off the gallows. He was wrong. Again.

The Dictator is a Dick
As Bush was moved quickly to put the White House beyond Constitutional checks and balances, Congressional scrutiny, and judicial oversight, Dictator Dick comes off the bench to steal the gold cup.

How George W. Bush and his Neocon Gang Screwed the World
Bush never bothered to ask: was it good for you? Now you feel dirty but a shower won't help. A whole nation feels dirty.

People to Bush, the GOP and the Congress: the Constitution is not Negotiable
Congressional Democrats didn't get the memo: the people want the war against Iraq to end and they want it to end now; the Constitution is not negotiable; and, finally, it's stupid to create dictatorship in America while claiming that we are fighting for Democracy in Iraq.

How the People May Bring Criminal Charges Against Bush
(2 comments) The people themselves may petition a court to convene a grand jury to investigate Bush's corrupt administration. Such a panel will have the power of the subpoena and the indictment.

911 Culprits? Why the Towers Really Fell
(24 comments) There is probable cause to begin an official investigation of George W. Bush in connection with the mass murders of US citizens on 911. In US law, investigations proceed from probable cause that a crime has been committed. Commonly, it refers to a standard by which an officer may make an arrest in connection with a crime.

Army Major General Claims Pentagon Lied About Bush Torture Program
NEW YORK (AFP) - A general who investigated US troops sexually humiliating Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison said in a report out Saturday that top Pentagon officials denied knowledge of lurid photographs of the acts. Army Major General Antonio Taguba says the Pentagon officials are lying.

Impeach and Convict Bush and Cheney for High Treason
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the gang subverted the Constitution to carry out a war of naked aggression, itself a war crime, and, under US Criminal Codes punishable by death. But it's worse than that. It is an aggravated crime as Rep Elizabeth Holtzman makes abundantly clear.

(5 comments) One of the greatest disasters to befall humankind was triggered by a state crime perpetrated by Adolf Hitler. That crime was The Reichstag Fire. It led inexorably to the Holocaust, a crime of unimaginable proportions.

Bush's Sorry, "Skull and Bones" Legacy of Torture and Psycho-sexual Perversity
A general who investigated US troops sexually humiliating Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison says Rumsfeld and other Pentagon honchos lied. Imagine that! Of course, they lied! When have they ever told the truth?

Pentagon Wages Deadly, Silent, Toxic War on US
(2 comments) While the US military is laying waste to Iraq, it wages a silent and toxic campaign against the people of the US. The US military is dumping toxic wastes offshore near heavily populated in the North East, the Southeast and the South -specifically New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston as well as locations farther south offshore between Newport News and Charleston and offshore between New Orleans and Mobile.

US Arrogance, atrocities and crimes guarantee generations of terrorism and Jihad against the US
(5 comments) Bush's order to attack and invade Iraq was and remains a war crime. -- a capital offense under US Codes. There is evidence that US troops are ordered to murder civilians. There is also probable cause to suspect that widespread atrocities are hushed up and go unpunished. Bush himself is culpable and should be tried in an international court.

Palast: Three Million Voters Challenged in Karl Rove's Fraudulent Scheme
(3 comments) 500 of some 5 million emails were delivered to Greg Palast by mistake. Intended for RNC.org they wound up in Palast's hands at RNC.com. The emails prove that Karl Rove schemed and conspired to rob three million Americans of their right to vote.

Life is a Cabaret but tomorrow belongs to Mein Fuhrer!
Submission to a tyrant takes many forms. Most people just muddle through when forced to choose: either your life or your soul. Few are so dramatically challenged. Most of us live our lives in the grayish hinterland of compromise. Most of us seek and find, for awhile anyway, safety in the no man's land of "no affirmation" and "no denial".

Choreographed Victory, Dishonorable War
Americans must go abroad to learn the truth about America, about Bush's war of aggression against Iraq, about the nature of a failed and illegitimate regime. The truth is rarely spoken in the American media if at all. The truth is Bush's tar baby war is lost.

The Screwing Over of the American People
(2 comments) It had been Bush's war. But with a little help from the Democratic leadership, Bush seems to have scraped off his nasty tar baby. What did the Democrats get for having sold their souls? A little salted pork! Bush is not grateful. He gloats. He prepares his triumphal procession to the forum.

The Government of the United States is Illegitimate
When the Democrats recently caved to Bush on Iraq, the majority of Americans who oppose Bush's conduct of the war against Iraq were left without a voice. Democrats now seem complicit in Bush's junta.

Pale Blue Dot

I am mad as hell and I am not gonna take this anymore
Men and women, whites and minorities are war-weary and fed up. It's a pessimism seldom shared across the demographic spectrum. It is not surprising to find women and minorities are less content than men and whites. But this time around, the nation has not been so gloomy since the end of the Bush Sr regime.

How Bush Became the Torture President
The United States, following World War II, championed the Nuremberg Principles and raised hopes that nations could be held to principles of international law. It was the world's best chance for peace and justice. The Bush regime has dashed those hopes amid fears of a new dark age of international lawlessness.

The Iraq War Makes Terrorism Worse, Al Qaeda Strikes Back
Bush will cite his failure in Iraq as reasons the US must stay and be bled. The prestigious Foreign Affairs magazine declares that "rushing into Iraq instead of finishing off the hunt for Osama bin Laden" has made terrorism worse, emboldened Al Qaeda, and taken the focus off the "War on Terrorism".

Pro-Gun Mythology: a Culture of Guns, Death and Violence
The NRA has worked assiduously to create a culture of guns, lies and violence in the United States. Their efforts have borne fruit. Almost anyone can get a gun; lies about the Second Amendment are unquestioned by intimidated politicians who should know better; and fatal shooting rampages will eventually cease to shock an inured public.

Bush administration violates the separation of powers, issues fiat robbing court of judicial power
(3 comments) Bush seems to be scrambling to consolidate dictatorial powers before his administration comes crashing down around him. According to the Washington Post, Bush has moved to implement the recent bill that abrogates habeas corpus, authorizing military trials of so-called "enemy combatants". The US District Court in Washington has been summarily notified that it no longer has jurisdiction.

Exposing the myth of the American "mission" in Iraq
(3 comments) Bush will not only preside over a military defeat in Iraq, he has already ushered in a new era -the end of the "American Century", the end of American ascension, the end of American empire. The new era is already characterized by increased nuclear proliferation and defiance, the decline of Democratic ideals and outright opposition to US interests all over the world.

The Week in Review from Republican Occupied America
(3 comments) In the week of Bush's greatest triumph so far, Bob Woodward focused the entire "mainstream media" on the lies Bush told about Iraq. Bush had very nearly consolidated dictatorial powers with the "Military Commission Act of 2006" -but had little time to savor his vainglory. Bush would get his way -stamping his feet and throwing a hissy fit! But, sadly, the nation would still be without a grown up to run the country.

Bush makes a hell of Iraq; Chavez smells sulfur; the minions of Satan get rich!
(3 comments) Iraq is hell if you live there, survive there, get tortured there. If it gets worse -and it will - the dead will be called lucky. War may be hell but Iraq is the product of one man's lies, frauds, deceptions. Things are so bad that I wonder if Bush will withdraw, re-invade and hope things turn out better. But that assumes Bush wants things to turn out better. He doesn't.

Congress is powerless to absolve Bush of capital crimes and torture charges
(3 comments) Bush is in a heap of trouble. Whatever torture compromise may work its way through an intimidated Congress, it cannot help Bush. The US Constitution requires nothing less than a Constitutional Amendment to relieve US obligations under the Geneva convention; and, at least one Constitutional provision means that nothing legal can get Bush off the hook for the crimes that he has already committed.

U.S. to Bush: Get yourself a good lawyer; you're gonna need one!
(3 comments) There may be probable cause to try George W. Bush for capital crimes. Bush is losing it. He's combative, belligerent, rambling, disconnected and overtly defensive. He's desperately trying to come up with various defenses on various fronts -all ex post facto. One is tempted to tell him: give up, George! Surrender to the authorities! You get one phone call; use it to get in touch in Jim Baker. Get your lies straight!

Bush's new "offensive": old lies wrapped up in newer desperation, hubris, arrogance and bigotry
(3 comments) Charles Gibson of ABC pressed the issue: what had Iraq to do with 911? Bush leaned forward aggressively and shot back: "I just told you!!" Nevertheless, Bush's new offensive is a failed cover story. Bush has damned the US to a perpetual, un-winnable conflict which Bush does not and cannot understand, against a mythic enemy which Bush has not and cannot define!

George Bush loses five middle east wars -three of them in Iraq!
(3 comments) Shi'ites and Sunnis are involved in a violent conflict for control of Central Iraq; Kurds are trying to secure the NW. What is that if not two, separate civil wars? A guerilla resistance, meanwhile, has all but beaten Bush's failed US occupation. What is that if not a guerilla war?

Catastrophic and Reckless: How Bush brought America to the brink of economic ruin!
(3 comments) Just a year ago Bush played guitar while New Orleans drowned. Nothing has been learned. Nothing has changed. New Orleans is morbidly fascinating because Americans, intuitively, have seen in that disaster our nation's future. But Bush, like a fiddling Nero, stays a failed course amid warnings that our nation is falling apart at the seams heading for third world status and catastrophe.

Another Loser of Lebanon II: America
(3 comments) In the wake of Lebanon II , US influence throughout the Middle East is on the wane and Iraq is in chaos. Nevertheless, there are indications that the Bush administration is going ahead with plans to build permanent US bases in Iraq. How much sense does this make at a time when the US has lost its ability to set or shape a Middle East agenda?

NSA case exposes blatant GOP hypocrisy
(3 comments) The American right wing has said repeatedly, loudly, and belligerently that they favored strict constructionist judges, strict constructionist interpretations of the Constitution. Now that they've got a decision that is as strictly drawn upon the Constitution as any decision in recent memory, the right wing responds by trashing the judge -Judge Anna Diggs Taylor!

Bush lost his proxy war on Lebanon
(3 comments) Olmert is not in trouble back home because he defeated Hezbollah; Olmert is in trouble because he didn't. Bush urged Olmert to attack Syria, perhaps hoping that Iran could be drawn into a wider conflict. It is time for Bush to go.

The Bush Administration: a study in failure, waste, and needless death
(3 comments) Bush isolated the US at the very moment in its history when it most needed the good will of the world. Cold War "liberals" were "internationalists" who sought to involve the United States positively in world affairs. But for a period of some 30 years, we lacked competent, "internationalist" leadership. The world is a more dangerous place because of it.

The Bush Administration May Have Urged Israel to Attack Syria
(3 comments) The lead that was buried in a less interesting story from the Jerusalem Post is a credible assertion that the Bush administration may be pressuring the government of Ehud Olmert to attack Syria and, thus, start World War III.

Human Rights Watch: Israeli Air Attacks Called 'War Crimes'
(3 comments) More voices join a rising chorus: Israel is perpetrating war crimes by deliberately targeting civilians in Lebanon. The latest group to raise the issue is Human Rights Watch which recently documented similar charges against the Bush administration in Iraq. The organization joins Louise Arbour, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, who said earlier that "...war crimes may have been committed in Lebanon" by Israel.

War Crimes and the Mideast Conflict
(3 comments) Israeli planes are now dropping their bombs and firing their missiles indiscriminately against civilian targets. Grain silos, food production, and storage plants have been destroyed. Bombs have reportedly been dropped on hospitals and on convoys of villagers fleeing from the Israeli shelling.

Human Rights Watch: Bush Administration Lied About Torture; it's widespread, endemic, and goes right up the chain of com
(3 comments) In a 53-page report, "No Blood, No Foul: Soldiers' Accounts of Detainee Abuse in Iraq," US soldiers reveal that contrary to previous statements by the Bush administration, detainees were routinely beaten, put in stressful positions, deprived of sleep and exposed to hot and cold extremes. Human Rights Watch bases its report on interviews, memoranda and sworn statements.

Bush has de-stabilized the middle east, strengthened Iran, abandoned Lebanon
(3 comments) The US has abandoned Lebanon, the best hope for democracy in the Middle East. As Israel's disproportionate attack on Lebanon contines, Lebanon's Shi'ite majority will find more in common with Iran than with the US.

American conservatives are dead wrong and why it matters
(3 comments) Many conservatives do not see themselves as subversives even as they support Bush assaults on the Constitution. The biggest lie yet told is that Bush took us to war in Iraq to bring Democracy to Iraq. Perhaps, then, when he has done so, we should all move to Iraq so that we might enjoy the blessings of Democracy. We've all but lost them here at home.

What would you do if you were tortured?
(3 comments) A war is lost when atrocities begin. Jean-Paul Sartre said that fascism is "...not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them." The rising tide of atrocities has turned the middle east irrevocably against the US even as secular nations now associate US troops with Abu Ghraib and Haditha -the CIA with an eastern European gulag. We have yet to reap the full effect of a gathering storm.

The Rise and Fall of The Enron Empire
(3 comments) The recent death of Ken Lay revived memories of a corporate scandal that seemingly triggered the fall of lined up dominoes. I had hopes that the truth about corporate America would trigger some real reforms, a sea change in American attitudes about how business is conducted, and, at least, some introspection about the shallowness of American culture. I was dissapointed.

Bush's Supreme Court to the GOP: there's more than one way to steal votes!
(3 comments) On the morning of his own election to the State Senate, a Sugar Land "neighbor" of Tom DeLay would rub his hands like a river boat gambler and ask: "Now....when do I get to meet with those lobbyists"? Now -a worrisome 7-2 decision has put the Supreme Court in the position of supporting -yet again -a purely partisan decision that helps only the GOP.

Bush says "stay the course" -but there is no course to stay.
(3 comments) Bush will eventually withdraw from Iraq; there is no other choice. Predictably, Bush will call an ignominious retreat a victory. Reminded that his policy was not merely wrong but wrong-headed, Bush will resort to the Thom Friedman defense: What does being right have to do with anything?

Democrats took the bait, stuck with Bush's tar baby
(3 comments) The so-called congressional debate about Iraq was a Karl Rove dream come true —a GOP stunt designed to make the GOP look united in defense of evil while Democrats looked divided in defense of what's right. At the end of the day, the Democrats were just as stuck to the Bush tar baby as Bush. When will the Democrats learn? Spreading guilt around is what goppers do best.

How Bush defrauded the world and, in the process, murdered tens of thousands of innocent civilians
(3 comments) Since Bush ordered the war of aggression against Iraq, tens of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed. The war crimes case against George W. Bush can be found in official documents —just as at Nuremberg —and in various verifiable items in the public record. Each death as a result of the U.S. invasion is, in fact, a capital crime under 18 S 2441.

Ding Dong! Zarqawi's still dead and Bush's campaign of war crimes is still alive
(3 comments) The media celebration of Al Zarqawi's alleged death last week is misplaced given Bush's history in Iraq. The media ignores some important facts. The "insurgency" could not target U.S. troops if they weren't there! Bin Laden —about whom this war we were told was begun —was never said to have been in Iraq. Iraq was Bush's first choice because the better targets were there.

How the U.S. Military deliberately lied about Haditha and tried to cover it up
(3 comments) The U.S. military deliberately ignored accounts by eyewitnesses, letting stand a U.S. cover story for a period of six months. The truth about the case is still hidden under the cover of an "on-going" investigation. It is doubtful that any meaningful investigation was ever conducted into one of the more recent outrages among "...countless My Lai massacres" in Iraq.

An Emerging Pattern of U.S. War Crimes and Atrocities in Iraq Suggests a Heinous Policy
(3 comments) The "few bad applies" defense falls apart in the face of "...countless My Lai massacres" in Iraq and new revelations. A pattern of war crimes emerges. News of other incidents supports the proposition that the Bush administration has deliberately waged a war on the civilian population of Iraq.

Bush's Lawless Administration Must End
(3 comments) The Bush regime —among the most unpopular in American history —has simply become intolerable. Bush has made of the Presidency a rogue, lawless dictatorship exploited for the commission of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Haditha Massacre: a product of a phony, failed, and immoral war!
(3 comments) The massacre at Haditha is a product of Bush's policy of aggressive war, U.S. sponsored war crimes, and outsourced torture. The massacre at Haditha is but a single tile in a bigger Bush mosaic that includes Fallujah, Abu Ghraib and the gulags of Eastern Europe. Nations losing wars commit atrocities. Logically, the situation can only be worse in wars that are themselves crimes.

A Constitutional showdown looms —but not the one we expected
(3 comments) At stake is a system of checks and balances established by the founders in 1787! Will it fall victim to the Bushco train wreck? For the first time in American history, armed federal agents of the executive branch of the government executed a raid on Congress and spent hours rifling through papers and removing materials that they alone deemed necessary to an investigation. This time even Republicans are alarmed.

How to know when you're living in a police state: telling the truth becomes a crime!

Bush has lost the war in Afghanistan and with it —the Middle East
(3 comments) Not only Iraq, but Afghanistan is lost. The Taliban was never really defeated. The Taliban —whose defeat Bush appears to have celebrated prematurely —is regaining control of Afghanistan while Hamid Karzai —a former UNOCAL consultant —is not safe outside Kabul.

Big Brother's Bad Timing
(3 comments) Bush's timing is lousy. He waited until Iraq was already lost before declaring that he has the authority to monitor international phone conversations involving citizens or legal residents inside the United States. He waited until his failure to capture Bin Laden got headlines. He waited until a growing majority of Americans believe that he lied in order to start a war in Iraq that has nothing to do with terrorism.

America de-hypnotizes itself and the GOP runs scared
(3 comments) Bush is hanging on to majorities in only three of the so-called "Red" States. Clearly —the nation has turned against Bush and with him —the GOP. At least one article stated that people don't just dislike Bush —they hate him. Given the public's "wrong track, right track" responses, Bush has no where to do but ever downward.

Has Bush crossed the Rubicon?
(3 comments) In 49 B.C. Rome found itself at war with itself. Though it was prohibited by the Roman constitution, Caesar crossed the Rubicon and defied the civil authorities. The law was on the side of the Senate and the citizens of Rome —but Caesar had the force of arms. He was elected consul and dictator for life. Cicero lamented, “Our beloved republic is gone forever.”

"Wires and lights in a box": Murrow's Prophetic Warning
(3 comments) Unlike our present "leaders" who have exploited and debased the term, Edward R. Murrow made of Democracy an ideal! Murrow did immeasurably more for the cause of "freedom" than all the GOP/right wing hate and fear mongering would ever do. One Murrow is worth one thousand Bushes; one Murrow might not undo the harm done by Bush in Iraq —but his memory might awaken a lost American dream of freedom.

Washington Post Theories about Hayden Appointment Are Not Credible
(3 comments) The Washington Post peddles the theory that Hayden is supposed to "rein in" Rumsfeld! Why not just fire Rumsfeld? And who will Bush appoint to rein in Hayden? That Rumsfeld requires "reining in" is the best argument yet for dumping him.

Goss leaves a wrecked CIA behind
(3 comments) The sudden departure of Porter Goss has refocused attention on the dictatorial nature of the Bush administration —an administration obsessed with control and secrecy. Most importantly, it is an administration obsessed with justifying —ex post facto if necessary —Bush's various crimes. Clearly that was the task that had been assigned to Porter Goss and just as clearly the effort has backfired. Goss leaves behind a weaker CIA and more tragically for the nation — a compromised national security.

Carl Bernstein Calls for a Senate investigation of the Bush administration
(3 comments) A real investigation will surely be the end of what's become a criminal conspiracy that is literally being run out of the White House. Some have suggested prosecution under RICO statutes. Bernstein's call for a Senate investigation comes at a time when a grass roots movement to impeach Bush "state by state" is gaining momentum even as Bush's ratings plunge seems driven by angry conservatives.

Inside Iraq Sans Media Coverage
(3 comments) As the Bush administration flies its victims in and out of gulags around the world in order to skirt the laws against torture and other crimes, Iraq continues to descend into civil war and chaos —most of it created by the United States. Much is made of some 140,000 civilians that were murdered by George W. Bush in the bombing campaign and the invasion —a crime against the peace begun upon a pack of lies. But where is the media coverage of U.S. atrocities that are perpetrated almost daily against the people of Iraq since that time? I am getting weary of trying to sift through the garbage that is passed off daily by the MSM.

A Grassroots "Velvet Revolution" Underway in America
(3 comments) An insurrection against the Bush regime is underway right now in America. It may turn out to be nothing less than a "velvet revolution" that brings down Bush's lawless regime. The best part is that it's entirely non-violent and legal; there is absolutely nothing George W. Bush can do about it —except throw one of his well-known temper tantrums. It's an impeachment juggernaut that will peak as Bush's support continues to wither away.

"Free My Country, My Ass!!"; U.S taking sides in Iraq Civil War?
(3 comments) Sunni Arabs have accused the Shiite majority and U.S. forces of operating and supporting death squads throughout Iraq as charges surface that U.S. torture of Iraqis continues with apparent impunity. The latest charges by Sunni arabs now take on an ominous political complexion: the U.S. has taken the Shiite side in an Iraq civil war.

Bush's Fraudulent War on Terrorism
(3 comments) Bush would have you believe that "terrorism" is the greatest threat of the 21st century but that's according to Bush, Blair and the regime du jour in Israel. The fact is your chances of being killed by terrorists are tiny; your chances of getting killed while crossing any big city street in America is much higher. According to a United Nations report by Peter Heinlein, political violence has been dropping since the end of the cold war.

Bush Exports American Sleaze, Moral Rot, Perversity, and the Torture, Rape of Children!
(3 comments) George W. Bush is not the only American President to spread and exploit a pernicious myth: the moral superiority of the United States! Bollocks! Under Bush, our most publicized export has not been morality, freedom, or opportunity. It is, rather, torture, brutality, war crimes, perversion and moral –or, more precisely -immoral stench. Clearly –American politicians have espoused and exploited this myth just as George W. Bush has capitalized upon the idea that individual Americans are targeted by international terrorists who “…jest hate freedom”, terrorists willing to blow themselves up because we are more free and possess more material goods. I’m sorry –but having a three car garage and lots of cheap gasoline are not among my values. And, in any case, Americans still supporting Bush are turning a blind eye to torture in return for cheap gas which has, obviously, not been forthcoming despite Bush's many outrages to human decency.

Rumsfeld's Fingerprints All Over Bush's Forgotten Quagmire
(3 comments) A civil war in Iraq overshadows yet another Bush failure: Afghanistan where the Taliban is reorganized and resurgent. The task of containing the "resurgency" has fallen to a force of some eleven thousand American servicemen who cannot be expected to prevent the Taliban from regaining power. Like the much bigger force in Iraq, American troop strength is completely inadequate for the job –a situation that has Rumsfeld’s finger prints all over it.

Pigs fly: George Will Opposes Attack On Iran!
(3 comments) George Will has made the best case for not nuking Iran. On ABC "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, Will said that Iran is a young society, connected to the internet, cell phone savvy, independent and aware of what’s going on throughout the world. The Mullahs, George says, cannot rule this emerging open society. Regime change will take place from within. Have conservatives re-discovered long atrophied brains —or have mainstream conservatives broken forever with NeoCons?

Impeachment is Not Enough
(3 comments) The voices for impeachment grow louder and more numerous by the day. More Republicans are running from Bush than Democrats; it looks like a stampede. But impeachment now will only help the GOP hang on to power. Mere impeachment fails to address the numerous crises that our nation now faces. Impeachment alone is not a good stop gap measure and would most certainly fail to stop what appears to be an imminent nuclear strike against Iran. Impeachment now would only make it easier for the Republican party to retain control of both houses of Congress. Impeachment now would make Dick Cheney President. A Cheney impeachment would make Dennis Hastert President. A Hastert impeachment leaves us with the Presdident pro tempore of the Senate. After that –Condoleeza Rice! None of these are attractive alternatives. None of them address the crises we face.

Connecting the Dots to Treason
(3 comments) Bush lied about having found WMD in Iraq for almost a year after the story had been discredited by the Pentagon itself. But this was the same year that Valerie Plame would be "outed" by George W. Bush. There is no rational explanation for persisting in a WMD story known to be untrue even as Bush "leaks" information that disrupts Plame's operation. Bush deliberately undermined the security of the U.S. His motives must surely go beyond mere revenge.

Callous Frauds, High Treason, and Lies: A Snapshot of the Bush Administration
(3 comments) George W. Bush endangered our national security in the process of covering up a fraud that he and Cheney perpetrated upon America and the world —namely, the many deliberate lies told to justify American aggression against Iraq. Let’s make this simple: Bush claims that he had the God-like power to make legal crimes that he has already committed.

Mainstream Media Get Suckered Again, Coverage of the Leak Scandals Hits New Low
(3 comments) Does the media get it? Listening to the major networks, surfing the net, one would never know that the libby-leak story is all about Iraq and the lies Bushco told to get us there. Bushco has gotten away with reframing yet another debate. So what if Bush could make the illegal legal? So what if Bush can de-classify upon a malicious, vindictive whim? All dictators claim omnipotence but the powers of a dictator do not justify the dictatorship!

Bush Deliberately Put Plame's Life in Jeopardy to Cover Up a Fraud!
(3 comments) It's not about Libby! It's not about Rove! It's not about Valerie Plame or Joe Wilson! It's all about Iraq, a fraud that Bush tried to cover up —by vindictively endangering the life of of Valerie Plame. It's about covering up a deliberate fraud that Bush perpetrated upon the American people and the world —the bogus case for war against Iraq! Wake up, folks! It doesn't get any more evil than this.

DeLay Partisans try to disrupt Democratic Rally
(3 comments) Brownshirt tactics in Sugar Land, TX. Tom DeLay partisans are photographed trying to disrupt a public rally and press conference by Democrat Nick Lampson. Before his announcement this week, it was expected that DeLay would have faced Lampson, a Democrat, an apparent victim of GOP gerrymandering in 2004.

Democrats should be laying the foundations for freedom in a post Bush world!
(3 comments) Democrats may be shy of impeachment for the same reasons that it would have been better for them if Tom DeLay had hung around until after the elections. But if the Democratic "platform" consists only of tactical moves to regain White House and Congress, they are doomed to fail. Democrats must now position themselves in opposition to the Bush dictatorship if they are to entertain thoughts of resurgence.

A Cowardly SCOTUS Takes the Easy Way Out, Refuses to Uphold Due Process of Law!
(3 comments) The Supreme Court has declined to rule on whether the Bush administration has the right to hold American citizens indefinitely without charges or trial. The High Court's lack of action in defense of Due Process moves the U.S. closer to dictatorship and leaves the Constitutional basis of our republic in doubt. Specifically, the high court refused to rule on an appeal by Jose Padilla, designated an "enemy combatant" by the Bush administration and held in a military brig in South Carolina for more than three years. The court's failure to act, is, in fact, a victory by default for Bush who claims all manner of inherent and implied war powers that, in fact, do not exist. Rather than clarifying, the high court has but muddied the waters.

The Emerging Outraged Majority
(3 comments) American voters are in a nasty mood. Across the board, Americans feel betrayed by the process, elected officials, and the government. At the very heart of discontent are lies about the war, the lobbying of congress, the fiscal soundness of the nation, the state of "freedom" itself. A growing grass roots anti-war movement especially feels betrayed by Democrats whose only position vis a vis the GOP seems to be of the form "...but we could have fought the war better than Bush!" That's cold comfort to those who believe the war was not only wrong but premised upon a pack of GOP lies.

GOP Fraud, Lies, and Certitude: Sources and Affects
(3 comments) The falsehoods of the Bush administration can be classified as: 1)Deliberate, planned campaigns of lies, falsehoods and propaganda; 2)Incompetent mistakes! The war in Iraq is both. If Bush deliberately misled the American people and the world's nations in order to justify his attack and invasion of Iraq, then the war, itself, is and continues to be a crime against the peace. It's continuation is but a series of crimes against humanity.

Scalia's Got Some 'Splainin' to Do; He's Thinking Backward Again!
(3 comments) Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia told an audience at the University of Freiburg in Switzerland that the Constitution does not protect foreigners held at the U.S. Military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And then he called European criticism of Bush "hypocritical"! Scalia is wrong and his statements are inconsistent and contradictory. Typically, Scalia's remarks are shot-through with fallacy and quite possibly deliberate distortions. Due Process of Law is not limited to "citizens" of the United States as Scalia would have you believe. Moreover, denial of "Due Process" violates Nuremberg and Geneva —treaties to which the United States is bound. Moreover, "Enemy combatant" is a term used arbitrarily by Bush; it is, conveniently for Bush, whatever Bush says it is. The term may or may not not apply to any one currently held in Guantanamo —but if Scalia's assumptive premise is followed to its logical conclusion, we will never know the truth of it.

Support a National Recall of George W. Bush
(3 comments) If the Democrats do not have the will to impeach and remove for incompetence and outright criminality of the high crimes type, then there is no other choice but to organize a national recall movement. GOP candidates might support a recall movement as it would most certainly pull their own fat out of the fire. Democratic reluctance may be understandable. They don't have the votes on a party line basis to impeach. A failed effort will only strengthen Bush. A successful effort will only embitter GOP hangers-on and radicalize them further. It is better to let the GOP do its own dirty work. On the other hand, a national movement to recall shifts the paradigm. Millions disillusioned by Bush in both parties could support such a movement without fear.

Bush's New PR Offensive: Old Lies Die Hard!
(3 comments) Bush has thrown down the gauntlet yet again —and congress continues to let him get away with it. Once again, the "rule of law" takes a beating. Bush repeats a fairy tale about Iraq and cites it as justification for his thumbing his nose at the Constitution. This is circular, delusional thinking at its most egregious. The reality in Iraq is a stark contrast that Bush never talks about this. Numerous writers in Iraq describe a "...a country convulsed by fear" where sectarian killings are commonplace. The scale of violence is largely unseen. It is most certainly undescribed or referenced by Bush! In a nation —still largely without lights or running water —civilians flee old neighborhoods desperately seeker safer ground, IF it can be found. Death squads roam the streets.

The Constitution —not Bush —is the Supreme Law of the Land
(3 comments) There are no "inherent powers" or "implicit" authorizations" that would, in any way, overturn, limit, or repeal the Fourth Amendment. Bush is not only wrong about that, he may have deliberately lied about it. Congress may not overrule the Fourth Amendment with statutory law. Constitutional Law is supreme and provisions in the Bill of Rights are valid until amended as set out in the Constitution itself. Widespread domestic surveillance is illegal whatever is done by Congress ex post facto. Until the Constitution is amended, it will remain illegal. At last, ex post facto laws, themselves, are expressly forbidden by the Constitution.

How right wing lies, myths, and propaganda endangers the world!
(3 comments) The modern GOP, like the Nazi party before them, is expert at avoiding responsibility. Hitler blamed Poland for his invasion of that nation; the modern GOP blames those victimized by supply-side or "trickle down" policy. When a plethora of bogus beliefs finds its way into mainstream discourse, the implications can be sinister. One of the most pernicious and persistent myths is supply-side economics —still used by Republicans to rationalize government largesse from which corporate and wealthy America benefit to the detriment of everyone else. So, why do Republicans adhere to a policy that even a cursory reading of real world stats thoroughly discredits? Reaganites themselves provide a clue: "...Reagan made us feel good about ourselves"!

A plague on ALL your houses!
(3 comments) I know how to put 99% percent of the world's religious charlatans and political demagogue war mongers out of business for good. Simply hold them to this standard: behave in such a way that what IS true can be verified to be so. How many could be held to that standard? Maybe NONE!

Blank Stares and Stupors
(3 comments) Bush is all but universally reviled and vulnerable. But when the U.S. military starts dropping bombs on Iran, Democrats will be looking at one another with blank stares —stupefied, dumbfounded. As Iraq descends into Civil War, Bush plans to use nukes on Iran; he makes a treasonous deal with Dubai, a hotbed of international terrorism. The subplot is equally nefarious: he has placed himself above the law. Democrats should be planning to retake both House and Senate, impeaching Bush, and restoring the Constitution and American Democracy. That's what they should be doing. But are they?

NeoCons Declare Defeat in Iraq; Bush Free to Pursue Defeat in Iran
(3 comments) NeoCons are deserting Bush faster than one or two Democrats can say "I told you so!". Now, an arch-conservative —William F. Buckley, Jr. —is most surely on record as having first used the "D" word to describe Bush in Iraq. Clue: the "D" word is DEFEAT!. In fact, there is some somewhat informed speculation that the GOP intends to flank Democrats on the "left"1 while Democrats try to flank Bush on the right. In spite of right wing defections throughout GOP ranks, the best Democrats can do is serve up "less bad"! American imperialists used to declare "victory" before pulling out. Now —defeat will be declared, leaving Bush free to pursue another defeat in Iran.

How Bush Duped Both his Base and the Democrats!
(3 comments) Bush turns out to be worse than a big spending liberal. He's a big spending "state absolutist" who's made fools of his base with unwitting help from Democrats. In the process, Bush has taken the Rumsfeld doctrine to its absurd conclusion: he will make do with the base he has, not the one he had or would like to have again.
