The Crime of the Century

The Bush regime has launched a brutal, illegal war based entirely on lies from its inception. This immoral war has inflicted and continues to inflict untold misery and suffering for hundreds of thousands of human beings, including (but not limited to) Iraqis and Americans. Faced with this reality, the new democratic congress agrees only that the execution of the war has been unsuccessful. There is no condemnation or call for impeachment on a criminal administration that has deceived the world and caused the death and suffering of so many people. Folks, it's not about the execution, it's about the fact that this evil war never should have happened. And now, while politicians argue about the failed execution and the planned troop "surge", the criminal Bush regime is using this smoke screen as an opportunity to prepare an attack on Iran. Wake up! - Le Patriote
========================================================
Everyone can see the U.S. buildup of massive air and naval attack forces on Iran's borders. Fox "News," the Bush regime's main disinformation agency, is busy preparing its viewers for the U.S. attack by whipping up fear and hysteria over Iran. The Bush regime suddenly changed its line and now blames Iran instead of al-Qaeda for its defeat in Iraq. The Israel Lobby is working around the clock for a U.S. strike on Iran. On Jan. 30 Bush again threatened that he will respond firmly if Tehran escalates its involvement in Iraq.

Bush's threats are part of the propaganda that is creating an excuse that Bush can use to attack Iran.

Our generation's Gulf of Tonkin is about to drag us further into endless war

The made-in-USA tinderbox is unstable and about to blow, and the war profiteers and their puppets lighting the fuse have no concern for us. The enormous and dangerous forces against them only means more war, more contracts, and more profits. There is no way the world is going to sit back and let the US have its way with world energy resources without a fight, and we stand warned that we are being dragged into a virtual Armageddon. The antiwar movement made a good show this weekend demanding an end to the Iraq war. It will be too little, too late unless the people wake up and demand a halt to the war already under way against Iran.

Chavez a threat to democracy, US intelligence chief says

If you read the article posted below, you know that Nick Rockefeller revealed to Aaron Russo the future demonization of Hugo Chavez years ago. Hugo Chavez took the radical step of nationalizing Venzuela's oil, a step that cuts out the big American oil companies from the profit circle. That is the true reason for the demonization of Hugo Chavez. - Le Patriote
=============================================
Washington- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez exports a form of "radical populism" throughout Latin America that poses a threat to democracy, the top US intelligence official said Tuesday. John Negroponte, during hearings on his nomination to become deputy secretary of state, warned that frustration in Latin America about the lack of prosperity under democratic governments could further fuel the populism advocated by Chavez.

Aaron Russo Reveals NWO Plans for the World as Revealed to Him By Nick Rockefeller

Russo states that Rockefeller told him, "Eleven months before 9/11 happened there was going to be an event and out of that event we were going to invade Afghanistan to run pipelines through the Caspian sea, we were going to invade Iraq to take over the oil fields and establish a base in the Middle East, and we'd go after Chavez in Venezuela."

Rockefeller also told Russo that he would see soldiers looking in caves in Afghanistan and Pakistan for Osama bin Laden and that there would be an "Endless war on terror where there's no real enemy and the whole thing is a giant hoax," so that "the government could take over the American people," according to Russo, who said that Rockefeller was cynically laughing and joking as he made the astounding prediction.

Inflation and War Finance

The Pentagon recently reported that it now spends roughly $8.4 billion per month waging the war in Iraq, while the additional cost of our engagement in Afghanistan brings the monthly total to a staggering $10 billion. Since 2001, Congress has spent more than $500 billion on specific appropriations for Iraq. This sum is not reflected in official budget and deficit figures. Congress has funded the war by passing a series of so-called "supplemental" spending bills, which are passed outside of the normal appropriations process and thus deemed off-budget.

This is fundamentally dishonest: if we're going to have a war, let's face the costs-- both human and economic-- squarely. Congress has no business hiding the costs of war through accounting tricks.

The Historic, First Ever DC Massive Impeachment March That Nobody Reported On

Yesterday, I reported on the Antiwar Event in Washington D.C.

That's what it was billed as. That's why I went-- to send a message to stop the war, to stop Bush, Cheney, Lieberman, McCain and their enablers.

But I finally realized something quite extraordinary. This was not JUST an antiwar event. It was the largest and perhaps the first major IMPEACHMENT event ever to occur in Washington DC.

Bush Is About to Attack Iran - Why Can't Americans See It?

Everything is in place for an attack on Iran. Two aircraft carrier attack forces are deployed to the Persian Gulf, US attack aircraft have been moved to Turkey and other countries on Iran's borders, Patriot anti-missile defense systems are being moved to the Middle East to protect oil facilities and US bases from retaliation from Iranian missiles, and growing reams of disinformation alleging Iran's responsibility for the insurgency in Iraq are being fed to the gullible US media.

Maine revolts against digital U.S. ID card

Maine lawmakers on Thursday became the first in the nation to demand repeal of a federal law tightening identification requirements for drivers' licenses, a post-September 11 security measure that states say will cost them billions of dollars to administer.

Maine lawmakers passed a resolution urging repeal of the Real ID Act, which would create a national digital identification system by 2008. The lawmakers said it would cost Maine about $185 million, fail to boost security and put people at greater risk of identity theft.

Tax Protester Exposes Federal Government Fraud

The income tax does not meet either criteria of Constitutionally legal taxation in America, that is direct apportioned tax or indirect uniform tax. The IRS claims that the 16th Amendment allowed for a third form of taxation, however, the supreme court ruling on the amendment states that it allows for no new forms of taxation. More supreme court cases in the same period confirm the same conclusion. The 16th Amendment did not allow the Federal Government to levy a new tax, thus there is no Constitutional basis for the income tax.

Is Dick Cheney Out of Touch With Reality?

Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday dismissed as "hogwash" the suggestion that blunders may have hurt the administration's credibility on Iraq and led members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to question President Bush's plan to send more troops to Baghdad.

Well Dick, it would seem that 90% of Americans disagree with you!

What Comes Next - Bush Will Light the World on Fire

This most recent rebranding of the President's previously failed "plan" in Iraq, will fail again. When it does, the President won't be looking for a way out...he'll be looking at expanding the war - to Iran, Syria, and, perhaps, across the region. Worst yet, even if a regional conflagration isn't his goal, it will be the outcome of his actions. The administration is making clear now, the war in Iraq and likely the entire Middle East will not, if they have their way, ever end. Either the Democrats take a stand and impeach, or this administration will light the world on fire.

The Empire Turns Its Guns on the Citizenry

In recent years American police forces have called out SWAT teams 40,000 or more times annually. Last year did you read in your newspaper or hear on TV news of 110 hostage or terrorist events each day? No. What then were the SWAT teams doing? They were serving routine warrants to people who posed no danger to the police or to the public.

President Bush Lies in SOTU Address

In last night's SOTU, Bush reiterated his Feb 9, 2006 comment with the following statement:

"We stopped an al Qaeda plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the tallest building on the West Coast."

The day after the (original) announcement, twenty three separate intelligence experts, all with either CIA, FBI, NSA or military credentials, both in and out of service, angrily disputed Bush's remarks about the alleged L.A. plot, with one going as far as saying that the President was "full of sh*t."

In other words, the president knowingly made a false statement in an attempt to justify the invasions of privacy and violations of Constitutional liberties that his administration has perpetrated on the American people.

And the cogress critters applauded that? OUTRAGEOUS!

Response to the SOTU Address

* Our president is a criminal who has violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
* We are entangled in an evil and illegal war that was launched on a pack of lies.
* Illegal immigrants pour into our country, undermining the security of our nation and flooding our infrastructure to the point of breaking.
* The federal government not only did not help, but hindered attempts to rescue and help the victims of hurricane Katrina, actually confiscating weapons from people attempting to protect their private property.
* The dollar has lost value to the point of being all but worthless.
* We are hemorrhaging jobs at an alarming rate and the destruction of the middle class is well underway.
* With the "patriot act", DHS, and TSA, the US is becoming a police state that tortures people and imprisons them indefinitely without charges or legal representation.
* Plans are underway to attack yet another country (Iran) that has done us no harm and there are no indications that they intend to do us harm.

Quote of the Day - 2/23/2007

Socialism needs two legs on which to stand; a right and a left.
While appearing to be in complete opposition to one another,
they both march in the same direction. - Paul Proctor

Letter to Representatives 1/23/2007

Our country currently faces an urgent crisis. People have lost faith in the ability of the political process to carry out the will of the people. This republic is supposed be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Yet, today there seems to be a huge disconnect between the will of the people and the will of the government.

President Bush lied to the American people to justify attacking Iraq and Afghanistan, neither of which had anything to do with the attacks of 9/11. The war in Iraq was illegal and immoral from the beginning. Now the war has become a disaster beyond imagination, and Mr. Bush's solution is to send more troops to fan the flames of hatred and violence. That is simply unacceptable!

You are in a position to restore faith in the American political process and our system of checks and balances. The Congress and Senate are intended to prevent the executive branch from exercising power beyond that granted by the Constitution, not enable it. One of those checks is to implement the process of impeachment for a president who has broken the law and violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

If ever a president has committed crimes and offenses worthy of impeachment, GW Bush has. From lying to the American people to justify aggressive military actions, to implementing legislation that has all but gutted the Constitution to violating the Geneva convention, this president has lost the trust and confidence of the American people. He believes himself to be a supreme dictator, and that he is above the law. Viet Nam should have served as a horrible example of the failure of military intervention, but apparently this president wasn't paying attention, because he seems not to have learned from that lesson.

It is now your responsibility as my representative to uphold your oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States by initiating impeachment proceedings against an out of control criminal president immediately. The troop surge must be stopped now and our troops should begin coming home today. Not "redeployed", brought home to protect our borders, where a real threat to our national security exists. Any plans for attacking Iran must be abandoned now, and a diplomatic solution should be sought at all expense. A non-binding resolution is not sufficient and provides no substantive solution to the serious crisis our nation now faces.

This president and the globalist agenda currently represent the most serious threat to our continued existence as a nation. Will you be part of the problem or part of the solution?

It is now up to you to restore public confidence in the Constitutional political process in America. It is up to you to have the courage to take action to save our republic, to carry out the will of the people that elected you, and to restore sanity to this country. The only solution to a criminal and unrepentant president is to remove him and all those that play a supporting role within his administration from office immediately. - Le Patriote

Practically speaking, our meddling in the Middle East has only intensified strife and conflict. American tax dollars have militarized the entire region. We give Israel about $3 billion each year, but we also give Egypt $2 billion. Most other Middle East countries get money too, some of which ends up in the hands of Palestinian terrorists. Both sides have far more military weapons as a result. Talk about adding fuel to the fire! Our foolish and unconstitutional foreign aid has produced more violence, not less.

Ed Brown Has Defined His Line in the Sand by Taking a Stand Against the IRS

If you have seen Aaron Russos film America Freedom to Fascism then you understand the stand that Ed Brown is taking against the IRS and the fraudulent income tax. I by no means advocate violence and believe that lethal force is only justifiable in self-defense, but our founding fathers and those once considered freedom loving patriots fought the American Revolution over just such issues. Mr Brown is in need of our prayer as this situation looks like another Waco in the making. - Le Patriote
=====================================================
Since Brown and his wife were convicted last week, his case has captured the attention of a variety of fringe groups, including Gandhi-admiring protesters who have limited their involvement to building bonfires and waving signs and armed militia members anxious for confrontation. Some appreciate Brown's stand against the federal income tax, some his pointed criticism of the federal courts, and others his willingness to die for his cause. Whatever their reasons, they've all congregated at the sprawling fortress Brown calls home, turning it into a libertarian carnival with an uncertain ending.

"Everybody has their own place on that spectrum," said Dave Ridley of Keene, who has spent several days in Plainfield and positions himself on the nonviolent end. Ridley said he owns a gun but locks it up at home before going to Brown's. "Of course, any group of libertarians has a thousand different opinions."

The Jenga hypothesis, or how I learned to start worrying

September 11 was my second Tuesday in college, and I can remember standing with at least a hundred fellow students in front of a hastily arranged TV projection in a classroom in Murphy Hall, completely disoriented by the nauseating pictures I was seeing.

A graduate student in the University's School of Architecture stood next to me, shaking his head.

"There's no way those planes could have made those buildings come down," he muttered in a Swedish accent, and he walked away, leaving his fall coat by my side.

I never saw him again, but since that eternally disruptive and epoch-darkening day, I've been trying to figure out what he meant. More next week.

Iran: Pieces in Place for Escalation

The following text by Colonel Sam Gardiner (USAF, Retired) confirms our worst fears. The US is in an advanced state of readiness to wage war on Iran.

To reverse the tide requires a massive campaign of networking and outreach to inform people across the land, nationally and internationally, in neighborhoods, workplaces, parishes, schools, universities, municipalities, on the dangers of a US sponsored war, which contemplates the use of nuclear weapons. The message should be loud and clear: It is not Iran which is a threat to global security but the United States of America and Israel. Even without the use of nukes, the proposed aerial bombardments could result in escalation, ultimately leading us into a broader war in the Middle East.

Debate and discussion must also take place within the Military and Intelligence community, particularly with regard to the use of tactical nuclear weapons, within the corridors of the US Congress, in municipalities and at all levels of government. Ultimately, the legitimacy of the political and military actors in high office must be challenged.

The corporate media also bears a heavy responsibility for the cover-up of US sponsored war crimes. It must also be forcefully challenged for its biased coverage of the Middle East war.

What is needed is to break the conspiracy of silence, expose the media lies and distortions, confront the criminal nature of the US Administration and of those governments which support it, its war agenda as well as its so-called "Homeland Security agenda" which has already defined the contours of a police State.

The World is at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in modern history. The US has embarked on a military adventure, "a long war", which threatens the future of humanity. It is essential to bring the US war project to the forefront of political debate, particularly in North America and Western Europe. Political and military leaders who are opposed to the war must take a firm stance, from within their respective institutions. Citizens must take a stance individually and collectively against war.

An Impartial Interrogation of George W. Bush

During the long years between 1963 and 1975 when I fought to end the American war in Vietnam, first as a US Senator from South Dakota and then as my party's nominee for President, my four daughters ganged up on my one night. "Dad, why don't you give up this battle? You've been speaking out against this crazy war since we were little kids. When you won the Democratic presidential nomination, you got snowed under by President Nixon." In reply I said, "Just remember that sometimes in history even a tragic mistake produces something good. The good about Vietnam is that it is such a terrible blunder, we'll never go down that road again." Mr. President, we're going down that road again. So, what do I tell my daughters?

The Irrelevance of Military Victory

We should remember that Iran, like Iraq, is a third-world nation without a significant military. Nothing in history hints that she is likely to invade a neighboring country, let alone do anything to America or Israel. I am concerned, however, that a contrived Gulf of Tonkin-type incident may occur to gain popular support for an attack on Iran.

Even if such an attack is carried out by Israel over U.S. objections, we will be politically and morally culpable since we provided the weapons and dollars to make it possible.

Let's hope I'm wrong about this one.

Anti-War Movement Within the Ranks of the Enlisted

I recently watched the movie "Sir! no Sir" where I learned that during the Vietnam war there was a huge anti-war movement within the ranks of the enlisted troops. I never knew about that because the mainsteam media suppressed that information. The same is true today. There is a huge anti-war movement within the ranks of the troops who have been in Iraq. The reason for this is simple. Most people that actually go to the war front and realize the futility of the war and the cruelty and injustices being perpetrated there, want no further part of it. Check out the trailer from Sir! no Sir and notice in the article linked below it that the same conditions exist today with GW Bush's war in Iraq.

Making Sense of the Bush Doctrine

America is currently at great risk from a violent, angry man with illusions of grandeur, and outrageous demands for total submission to his will. Congress has the power and responsibility to shut him down, and to prevent more death, more destruction, more delusion. If they understand the Bush doctrine for what it is, and American actions in the Middle East for what they truly are, the Congress will have no choice but to stop all funds for this war, withdraw any support for this president in terms of foreign policy, and begin impeachment proceedings immediately.

Iraqis Should be Thankful?

There is a serious problem with the thinking of this administration. They create more enemies and terrorists and foment hatred towards the United States by commiting acts of atrocities and think the victims of those atrocities should be thankful? Bush thinks the Iraqi people should be thankful that we have killed over 600,000 innocent civilians, destroyed their country, tortured and raped thousands of people, and contaminated the entire region with depleted uranium. Wow, they get to live with the tremendous loss and fear that they have suffered under the US occupation. Gee, thanks George! - Le Patriote

He (Bush) said Iraqis should be thankful for all the United States has done for them since the invasion nearly four years ago.

"I think I am proud of the efforts we did," Bush said.

==========================================
Bush can tell blatant propagandistic lies, because Congress and the American people don't know enough facts to realize the absurdity of Bush's assertions.

Why is Bush telling these lies? Here is the answer: Bush says, "We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq."

In those words, Bush states perfectly clearly that victory in Iraq requires US forces to attack Iran and Syria. Moreover, Bush says, "We are also taking other steps to bolster the security of Iraq and protect American interests in the Middle East. I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region."

Carter Taking Heat for his Book and his Position on Zionism

The term "anti-semite" has been transformed from meaning "someone who hates Jews" to meaning "someone who the Zionists hate." Think about that statement for a minute. When Jimmy Carter speaks truthfully about the situation in Israel, he is labeled as an anti-semite. As a matter of fact, anyone critical of any action or policy of Israel or the Zionist agenda is labeled as an anti-semite. This effectively stifles all debate or criticism of the Isreali state and the Zionists and gives them carte blanche to do whatever they want to whomever they want. Do you see the danger in that? Does that seem right to you? Zionism is racism at its ugliest.

US Airstrike in Somalia Designed to Foment Hatred for Americans

When I first read the account of the airstrikes in Somalia, I noticed something right away. The story said the attack targeted a small group of suspected "Al Queda terrorists." The story also said an AC130 gunship was used in the airstrike. The story went on to say that the AC130 was a heavily armed aircraft capable of firing a tremoundous barrage and was intended for attacking "troop concentrations." Then I asked myself, if the target was a couple of individuals, why would they use a weapon intended for attacking large groups or "troop concentratoins." I mean, wouldn't that obviously result in innocent civilian casualties? This reckless and immoral act is just another in a series of actions by this administration designed to foment hatred for Americans. It is all part of the planned destruction of America! President Bush likes to say the radical muslims hate us because of our "freedoms." The fact is muslim hatred for the US is growing because we continue to kill their families, rape their daughters, torture them, and destroy their homeland. This type of event is the best recruitment advertisement any terrorist could ask for. - Le Patriote

Commentary on Jimmy Carter's New Book "Palestine:Peace Not Apartheid"

Zionists and American neoconservatives could care less about what the world community thinks. They are concerned only with Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. They realize that this goal can only be obtained with military coercion and have discarded any reliance on negotiation and compromise. Bush, for example, has refused the unanimous recommendation of the Iraq Study Group to talk with Iran and Syria. The US and Israeli electorates have proven to be powerless, while a handful of neoconservatives and Zionist settlers drive Middle East policy.

Why is the United States Military in Iraq?

The Zionists use the foolish American military to destroy Iraq's government.

Meanwhile, the Zionists get control of Iraq's resources and quietly kill the troublesome Iraqis, such as those with intelligence or useful skills.

The Zionists also set up and kill the Iraqis who try to become policemen.

The "reconstruction" of Iraq is a hoax. The Zionists are taking over, not reconstructing. The Americans are fooled over and over and over.

** Must Read - Iraq Troop Surge is a Smokescreen for Plans to Attack Iran

As you read this article, remember the USS Liberty incident when Israel attacked a US Navy vessel in international waters. The plan was to blame the attack on Eqypt and bring America into the war on the side of the Israelis. President Lyndon Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara where aware of and complicit in the plan to sink the ship and kill Americans. Fortunately, the ship was not sunk and the truth about this event has come out. Will Israel do the same thing again in the Persian Gulf and attempt to blame Iran? Only time will tell, but we should be highly suspicious of any such event. - Le Patriote
=====================================================
Commentators have expressed puzzlement over President Bush’s appointment of a US Navy admiral as commander in charge of the ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The appointment makes sense only if the administration’s attention has shifted from the insurgencies to an attack on Iran.

The Bush administration has recently doubled its aircraft carrier forces and air power in the Persian Gulf. According to credible news reports, the Israeli air force has been making practice runs in preparation for an attack on Iran.

Do the Right Thing Nancy - Stop Funding for the War and Start Impeachment Proceedings

As Pelosi prepares to take center stage, the Establishment has just finished holding a state funeral for a seriously flawed politician--Gerald Ford. As President in 1974, he pardoned that crook Richard Nixon. Outraged voters refused to elect Ford in 1976, turning instead to the Democratic nominee, Jimmy Carter. Questions: Will Pelosi learn from Ford’s failure and avoid his electoral fate? Will she bring to full account the two Antichrists, who have run our Republic into the ground, President George W. Bush and V. P. Dick Cheney? Impeachment proceedings, under the U.S. Constitution, must begin in the House of Representatives. It acts as a Grand Jury with the power to indict a wrongdoer. The U.S. Senate then sits in judgment on the accused.

Acts 5:38-39

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

Are Bush's Wars Winding Down or Heating Up?

The Israeli/neoconservative plan, of which Bush may be a part or simply a manipulated element, is to provoke a crisis with Iran in which the US Congress will have to support Israel. Both the Israeli government and the American neoconservatives are fanatical. It is a mistake to believe that either will be guided by reason or any appreciation of the potentially catastrophic consequences of an attack on Iran.

Until the US finds the courage to acquire a Middle East policy of its own, Americans will continue to reap the evil sowed by the Israel Lobby.

Revealed: Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran

Israel is trying to coerce the United States to do their dirty work by launching an attack on Iran. The fact is that Iran is at least ten years away from having a nuclear weapon (if they indeed intend to develop one) and poses absolutely no threat to the US. The fact is that Israel already has nuclear weapons (they got them from the US government) and has done more to destabilize the middle east with their agressive and brutal actions against the Palestinians (and the Lebanese) than any other country in the region. Furthermore, Israel has a record of drawing the US into wars that further Isreali causes. Take a look at the USS Liberty incident to see that Israel will go to great lengths to influence and even force the US to do their bidding, including killing Americans! - Le Patriote
======================================================
Israeli military commanders believe conventional strikes may no longer be enough to annihilate increasingly well-defended enrichment facilities. Several have been built beneath at least 70ft of concrete and rock. However, the nuclear-tipped bunker-busters would be used only if a conventional attack was ruled out and if the United States declined to intervene, senior sources said.

Israeli and American officials have met several times to consider military action. Military analysts said the disclosure of the plans could be intended to put pressure on Tehran to halt enrichment, cajole America into action or soften up world opinion in advance of an Israeli attack.

Governmental Crisis Ahead?

Bush has absolutely no intention of leaving Iraq. Any general officer who disagrees with his stupid “surge” is promptly fired and others warned that Bush will fire them if they open their mouths. The brass at the Pentagon and the troops in the field are approaching open mutiny.

Pat Robertson is a False Prophet by his Own Admission

The criteria for identifying a true prophet of God is really quite simple. Everything they say will come to pass, comes to pass exactly as predicted because the prophecy was delivered to the prophet from the very mouth of God.

"When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him"
(Deuteronomy 18:22).

I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss." - Pat Robertson

Therefore, using this criteria and by his own admission, Pat Robertson is a false prophet and is not to be trusted.

Iraq Vets Come Home Physically, Mentally Butchered

"I walk into the operating room and the general surgeons are doing their work and there is the body of this Navy SEAL, which is a physical specimen to behold," he told IPS. "And his abdomen is open, they're exploring both intestines. He's missing both legs below the knee, one arm is blown off, he's got incisions on his thighs to relieve the pressure on the parts of the legs that are hopefully gonna survive and there's genital injuries, and you just want to cry."

America RIP 1776-2006

2006 was the year that the United States died. Over the course of a year, just a few seconds in the span of a country, it's civilization and their way of life, we have witnessed the premature death of America. The underpinnings, the basic canons and the tenets of the United States, as well as it's physical borders, are gone.

Daddy Bush Attacks JFK "Conspiracy Theorists" at Ford Funeral

During his speech at yesterday's funeral service for Gerald Ford, former President George H.W. Bush bashed JFK "conspiracy theorists" and defended the Warren Commission report, another odd public outburst indicative of a crime family whose decades of misdeeds may finally be catching up with them.

The only thing Ford was good for was running defense for criminals when he pardoned the remorseless Richard Nixon and others after Watergate, allowing larcenous felons to walk free and leaving the legacy in place that it's OK to break the law if you are the President, a form of absolutism that has been keenly inherited by the current crop of crooks, including Dick Cheney who praised Ford for 'allowing the nation to heal' by protecting a cadre of organized crime gangsters.

Is Bush Planning His Exit Strategy?

Keep in mind as you read this article that the Bush family has already purchased almost a million acres of remote, easily defended land in Paraguay. Could this be where he intends to flee with the spoils after destroying America and inciting worldwide hatred of our once great republic?
=====================================================
They are making preparations for an infusion of 20,000 new troops here in the “immediate future.” Cadres will be shipped here along with large numbers of ‘weekend warriors’ from the National Guards and many recalled reservists. Then, a great “Final Drive to Victory” (as the official papers call it) and Bush can then have the military throw out the present very corrupt and vicious puppet government, (and, it is suggested strongly here by the top brass, being shot in groups of ten in some dismal cellar run by the CIA) put in a new Saddam and proclaim “a great victory for democracy” (again from the papers) to the Americans, take his loot and retire to a private, and easily defended, new location.

Keith Olbermann on "sacrifice"

Thousands of Iraqi civilians and US Troops died for the Bush administration's lies. Now, Bush wants to send more people to their deaths to feed his ego. This in spite of the fact that the vast majority of Americans want our troops out of Iraq NOW. All I can say is that Mr. Bush is insanely evil! Furthermore, if the democratic congress doesn't do everything in its power to stop this escalation, then they are complicit in these murders.

Maryland Reservist Killed by Police After Refusing Deployment to Iraq

Take note that this would have been Dean's second deployment to a senseless and brutal war. Mr Dean knew what he would experience if he was deployed to Iraq and in his mind, death was a better alternative. This is not a coward who is not willing to defend his country. This is a veteran who knows what these wars of aggression, brutality, and torture are like and what they are doing to innocent civilians and to our own troops?
=====================================================
A 29-year-old ex-soldier who had served 12 months in Afghanistan, upset over orders to deploy to Iraq, was shot to death December 26 after a night-long standoff at a house in Maryland. James E. Dean was notified earlier this month to report to Fort Benning, Georgia, on January 14, 2007, for service in Iraq.

Seducing of America by Spirits of Rebellion!

One generation has to be the last one, and I am convinced by the Word of God and by the signs of the times that the last generation is now alive on this troubled earth. The constant manufactured threat of terror has changed everything in the United States and has sent reactions and repercussions around the world. A crescendo of evil chaos is continually building, and Bible prophecy tells us what the final result will be.
