Publisher's Note: Due to repeated problems with the Maxpages server, a
new Ledger website has been created and is under construction.
Programming is at the HTML level with far greater webspace, so a much
better site will result after the learning curve is breached. The URL
is http://www.stormpages.com/llanoledger. Both Maxpages websites,
however, will continue to be maintained and updated for quite some time
until the readership has been made aware of the new website.

*************December 31, 2001************
*****Tribunal Pressure*****
Surprisingly, the "President" is apparently succumbing somewhat to
pressure from literally a handful of critics regarding military
tribunals. No substantive change, however. Just window dressing. ...
Hey, George? Kangaroo justice is kangaroo justice. No happy face
possible. While a gullible public will gladly tolerate and embrace
"justice" remarkably reminiscent of Nazi Germany, history will not be
so kind.
Bush and his henchmen are desperately and determinedly drafting
procedures to be used during tribunals. The accused will apparently be
presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Mighty
generous of the "President", no? Unlike civilian courts, hearsay
evidence will be admissible. -- As long as a "reasonable person" would
find it "useful". Convenient, no? Justice? What for? In fascist
America? Why bother?
Death sentences would be imposed only by a unanimous vote of the
commission. ... Five "uniformed officers" beholden to "Die Fuhrer", --
the jackass occupying the White House. Right to appeal? Certainly. Only
to a "military review panel" beholden to guess who? Why the "President"
of course. Adolph and Benito would have been proud. ... You follow well
in their foot stamps, George. Sieg Heil.
As the "President" has arrogantly and disingenuously made quite
clear, any treatment afforded bin Laden and his cohorts will be better
then that accorded 9/11 victims. -- Amazing how easily an unabashed
right wing fascist can embrace kangaroo justice and evisceration of the
Bill of Rights. ... "Let's roll."
*****Tribunal Defense Attorneys*****
The finest attorneys have always been willing to defend the most
despicable defendants for a number of reasons. Why? Primarily, the
accused have a constitutional right to counsel. The most important
reason of all. Sadly, the vast majority of the aggressively stupid
public doesn't understand or approve.
In the case of tribunals, however, attorneys run the risk of
legitimizing what amounts to no more than kangaroo justice. Readers are
reminded tribunals are constructed to guarantee imposition of
government policy. Not determine guilt or innocence. Nearly all
tribunal defense attorneys will lose their cases, -- by design. When
their clients are finally executed, these lawyers will have effectively
rubber stamped government fiat. Not "justice".
What better message to send the Nazis occupying the White House and
"Justice" Department than for no attorney to agree to represent
tribunal defendants? Pointedly, force the United States government to
execute terrorists with no rubber stamp from the legal community.
Sadly, this will never happen. Why? There is no honor among thieves.
*****"President" Miffed*****
Ole' George "The Tush" Bush supposedly has his shorts in a knot over
treatment afforded one of his guards on an American Airlines plane. The
unidentified Secret Service agent was on his way to the "President's"
ranch when booted off the aircraft. Although strongly denied by the
airline, seems he was the victim of racial profiling. ... Couldn't
happen, could it? Not in the United States, right? The unidentified
guard is Arab-American. Who'd 'a "thunk" it, no?
The jackass occupying the White House disingenuously lamented:
"There's an inquiry going on as to specifically what took place, but if
he was treated that way because of his ethnicity, that's - that will
make me madder than heck." Ah, gee willokers, Mr. "President"? Is that
right, sir? What the hell do you call the interrogation of 5,000 Arab
foreigners by our Nazi Attorney General? ... An exchange of
pleasantries among friends, you jackass?
We reap what we sow. In this case? Fascism. Then again, the American people are too aggressively stupid to understand. Pitiful.
*****Afghans Want Bombing End*****
The Afghan government declared last Friday bin Laden most probably fled
to Pakistan and urged the United States to wrap up the bombing.
Clearly, they're tired of the deaths of hundreds of innocent citizens.
While credit certainly must be given to U.S. forces for not
deliberately targeting civilians, many have died nonetheless. The
jackass occupying the White House will certainly have to decide in the
near future whether the point of diminishing returns has indeed been
reached.
"The Tush", of course, has been planning to carry the war on elsewhere
subsequently. Be interesting to see if international support remains as
strong when the "Commander-In-Chief" finally moves on to other
countries. Readers are reminded Mr. Bush, by admission as well as
definition, is waging an open-ended war. Definition of victory?
Conveniently, "Die Fuhrer" hasn't provided one yet. ... Apparently, the
jackass will know it when he sees it. Comforting, no?
*****Bush-Cheney Funds Funneled to GOP*****
That's right. Ole' George "The Tush" and "Slick Dick" Cheney have
no problems donating some $270,000 left over from the Recount Fund to
the Republican Party. ... Got to take care of the loyal henchmen, no?
The money was originally raised to pay legal bills from the
post-election battle. -- A battle resulting in a fascist Supreme Court
conveniently appointing an ideological compadre to the Oval Office.
Pointedly, the Republicans involved in the Recount Fund had promised
contributors "any monies not expended for this purpose will be returned
on a pro rata basis." Now, that seems to have conveniently changed. Who
were the "contributors"? No one knows. ... As American as mom and apple
pie.
*****Exceptional Honesty From Right?*****
Couldn't be, could it? An editorial in The Washington Times dated
December 27, 2001 quite correctly lambasted the jackass in the White
House for warmly embracing Kazakhstan's corrupt dictator, Nursultan
Nazarbayev just before Christmas. Got to give The Times credit for its
courage. The Nazi in the Oval Office couldn't have been pleased. ...
Amazing how the corrupt and abusive will get in bed with anyone to
consolidate power and enforce their agenda. ... Right, Mr. "President"?
Why would Ole' George do something so foolish? For the sake of Big Oil,
of course. Nazarbayev is currently being investigated by the "Justice"
Department for bribery and money-laundering. Didn't stop the "Chief
Executive" from granting U.S. support to this corrupt dictator who has
no regard for human rights. Sieg Heil, Mr. "President".
*****Klee's Kaleidoscope*****
Be sure to click on 'Kaleidoscope V4' on the Maxpages site or
'Kaleidoscope' on the Stormpages site for Harvey Klee's latest edition.
This publication is a forum for a diversity of viewpoints. All are
encouraged to submit material.
*****Unbridled Fear*****
As strongly asserted in the last 35 editions, gut-wrenching fear
generated by the Narcotics Enforcement Team is quite impressive. After
all, these Nazi stormtroopers not only outrageously intimidate
defendants and their gutless attorneys, but even innocent third parties
who have suffered at their corrupt and abusive hands.
Recently, a source came forward with allegations regarding the death of
a loved one under exceptionally curious circumstances. Sadly, the
survivor got cold feet.
Most pointedly and quite publicly, how in hell do you expect these
abuses to end if you don't have the guts to stand up and expose them to
the light of day?
Every time a source cowardly runs the other way, the corrupt and
abusive sons of bitches win. Every g-ddamned time. Worse yet, another
nail is driven into the coffin of liberty.
If you don't have the courage to stand up and do the right thing, why
should this writer continue to place himself in physical and legal
jeopardy trying to expose the outrageous corruption and abuse?
