definition of fascism
for new readers? An abusive and dangerous oligarchy based on a
pernicious
blend of government, big business, and religion. ... A boot-heel
cynically
placed on the throat of the masses, justified in principle by
perversion
and bastardization of religion.

Bush Staff Ordered To Attend Ethics Refresher November 5, 2005
Impressive, isn't it? Immediately after "Scooter" Libby was indicted, White House Counsel recommended all staff attend a refresher ethics class. Why? Why is remedial ethics required to understand one must not disclose the identity of a covert CIA agent?
... That it would immediately destroy her career. ... That it could, and would, endanger not only the agent, but all her contacts. ... That such criminal disclosure not be done to retaliate against the agent's husband for having the audacity to aggressively question the "President's" rationale for going to war in Iraq. -- Doesn't take a rocket scientist, does it?
Especially disturbing, since the criminal disclosure of top secret information had its origin at the highest level of government. -- That both top level fascist bastards responsible will likely never be prosecuted for their crimes. ... At the very least, dereliction of duty. -- That both "elected" officials stole office five years ago with the aid and assistance of their equally fascist compadres on the Supreme Court. -- That the buck, indeed, never stops any longer with anyone in the top level of government in our formerly great country. -- That taking "personal responsibility" now means cowardly passing the buck to underlings.
Most galling of all, the mandatory order for an ethics refresher came from the "President" himself. -- An abashed fascist who deliberately eviscerated the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments through repeated signings of unconstitutional legislation and equally unconstitutional Executive Orders. ... A fascist who ordered an unjust, unprovoked invasion of Iraq under false pretenses for self-serving political reasons. ... A "President" who holds "detainees" for years with no access to the courts.
...
A Nazi who believes the Geneva
Conventions to be "quaint" and "inapplicable." ... A "Chief
Executive"
who presides over torture and abuse of "terrorist suspects" in
CIA-established
prisons overseas, euphemistically called "black sites." ... A
"Commander
In Chief" who publicly claims he will not tolerate such torture, yet
callously
and hypocritically wants the CIA to be exempt from torture prohibitions
and other abuses of prisoners. In Nazi America.
Sadly, the "President's" visit to the economic Summit of the Americas in Argentina sparked rioting. Rubber bullets and tear gas were fired at the mob by 8,000 police. Protesters are strongly opposed to Bush's trade policies and view the United States as an imperialist power. They point to trade policies they believe will only benefit the U.S. as well as the unprovoked attack against Iraq under false pretenses and subsequent occupation.
Questions
on Rove, Libby, and
the CIA leak fiasco continued to dog the "President" on the
trip.
Mr. Bush cowardly brushed them aside, continued to stonewall, and
disingenuously
used the ongoing investigation as a convenient excuse not to discuss
Rove's
continued employment in the White House. ... Despite the fact
he
is still under criminal investigation and, without question, discussed
the CIA agent's identity with reporters at the time she was outed by
someone
on Bush's staff over two years ago.
"Vice President" "Slick Dick" Cheney's former Chief of Staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby was arraigned on two counts of perjury, two counts of making false statements, and one count of obstruction of justice in the CIA leak case. Libby pleaded not guilty and apparently plans a vigorous defense.
Hopefully, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzsimmons will resist any plea bargain and force the case to trial. -- The only way to determine who was ultimately responsible for the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity, as well as the party or parties responsible for the Iraq weapons of mass destruction fiasco.
Serious
questions remain regarding
the Special Prosecutor's motivation, intentions, and foot-dragging over
the last two years. Despite a lengthy investigation no one
was indicted
on the leak charge. The Special Prosecutor's claim, Libby's
failure
to truthfully answer questions was the reason no one was indicted for
the
leak, rings hollow. Worse, why didn't he indict a year ago
prior
to the election. ... Was he protecting the "President" from
political
damage?
It's been long known the American government has "rendered" terrorist suspects to foreign countries to be "interrogated," that is, tortured by those governments. Now, The Washington Post and NBC News have confirmed the CIA has established a network of prisons overseas, called "black sites," to personally "interrogate" alleged terrorists. -- Reportedly, to avoid pesky domestic constitutional rights issues, and conveniently impose torture "interrogation" tactics with impunity.
Prisoners have reportedly been killed, not only in these CIA "black sites," but also at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, and elsewhere. The "Administration's" policy of abuse and torture, although falsely denied by the "Administration," is strongly opposed by the military. Military personnel know quite well torture and abuse of prisoners do not elicit accurate information. Worse, such atrocious practices place present and future U.S. soldiers at risk for the same treatment, or worse, if captured.
Over
100 suspected terrorists
have been so "interrogated" in foreign CIA prisons by an
"Administration"
that believes the Geneva Conventions to be "quaint" and
"inapplicable."
Clearly, the fascist occupying the White House haughtily believes, by
divine
right, he has the mandate to do as he pleases. In the
governmental
plane, the U.S. has sadly become a nation of men, not
law.
Certainly, not the Constitution. In
Nazi America.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid cunningly used a parliamentary maneuver to force a closed Senate session on an investigation stalled by Republicans on the "President's" purported "overstatement of intelligence" prior to the Iraq invasion. Republicans, amusingly caught off guard and embarrassed, are furious. Tough, isn't it?
Time
to finally resolve precisely
who is responsible for "justification" of the unprovoked attack
launched
under false pretenses. U.S. deaths of 2,025 killed in action
and
15,000 maimed demand no less. To say nothing of the estimated
30-70,000
Iraqis killed. Hopefully, Democrats will insist "personal
responsibility"
not be reserved just for the unwashed, but those in the highest
echelons
of government as well.
In a deliberate, intentional, concocted effort to divert public attention from the Libby indictments, the "President" quickly announced government plans to handle a feared bird flu pandemic. While the possibility of a pandemic is plausible, it is still just that, -- a possibility. Not yet, reality.
Callously, Mr. Bush intentionally pandered to deliberately-fanned public fears of a possible, future health crisis for blatant, self-serving political purposes. Disturbingly, the "President" wants Congress to approve use of the military to enforce quarantines.
This directly raises Posse Comitatus issues, the specter of the military using deadly force against its own citizens, and most ominous of all, -- a convenient excuse for imposition of martial law and suspension of civil and constitutional rights and liberties.
Relaxation
of Posse Commitatus,
i.e. use of the military to provide domestic policing, could and would,
directly lead to a government by military junta and a fascist police
state.
Precisely, what our fascist "President" and his henchmen desperately
want.
Wake up. Before it's too late.
In a deliberate, calculated effort to distract attention from the "Scooter" Libby indictments, the "President" quickly nominated "Judge" Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court. Alito has sat on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals the last 15 years. The "Judge" is 55 and a graduate of Princeton and Yale. No question, an Ivy League elitist and bona fide fascist. -- So far to the Right, he puts Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas to shame.
Alito has a clear judicial record of eviscerating the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments. -- Strongly opposed to civil and constitutional rights and liberties. -- Repeatedly favored big business at the expense of the public. Sadly, the "Judge" is a Neanderthal who does not think a woman has the right, intelligence, and capability of deciding for herself what she can and cannot do with her uterus.
Consequently, he believes states have the right to impose any restrictions on abortion they want. They don't. The Supreme Court reversed him. The "Judge" condescendingly thinks a woman must inform her husband of her intention to get an abortion. -- Again, he was reversed. Laughably, this pathetic, knuckle-dragging Neanderthal apparently chauvinistically believes the "lil' lady" desperately needs guidance from the man in her life.
Alito is clearly opposed to abortion rights and would likely reverse Roe v. Wade if given the opportunity. The "Judge" is a fascist who brilliantly "legislates" his perverse ideology and religious views from the bench. He should not be confirmed. Democrats and Republicans who prize civil and constitutional rights and liberties should filibuster this atrocious nomination.
If unsuccessful, they should walk out of the Senate, thereby denying remaining Republican fascists a quorum. There is no choice. Should Roe be reversed, and/or all civil and constitutional rights and liberties permanently abrogated, there will be no alternative to a repeat of 1776.
The
Fascist Right is brilliantly
establishing a "Christian" theocracy in our formerly great
country.
This will not stand unopposed. Sadly, a war here would, no
doubt,
make Iraq look like a Sunday picnic. A walk in the
park. Time
for Americans to wake up before too late.
The Bush "Administration" does not allow media access to Dover AFB, -- where war dead are returned from overseas. ... Conveniently using "family privacy" as an excuse. Consequently, there is no simple, effective way to confirm military and "Administration" casualty figures. Until recently, in fact, the "Administration" made no attempt to accurately tabulate Iraqi-national war dead and wounded. Interesting, isn't it?
Iraqi war dead are estimated at 30-70,000 killed. No one knows for sure. Iraqi nationals, when interviewed however, question the "Administration's" claim of approximately 2,000 American military personnel killed. They believe it to be much higher, -- as a result of intense attacks by insurgents.
Similar claims of inaccurate casualty figures were made decades ago in Vietnam. After all, American presidents have always been sorely tempted to under-report war dead and wounded in an effort to stem nose-diving public support for war, -- as casualties increase.
The Bush "Administration" has a well-cultivated penchant for, shall we say, "massaging" the truth. Why haven't the media established a toll-free number and asked the public to report all dead or wounded military family members? -- To determine whether or not the "Administration" is indeed telling the truth. ... Or lying like hell to cover its cowardly ass.
Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks is lying in state at the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. -- The first woman in history to be so honored. On December 1, 1955, Ms. Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man and was arrested, launching the civil rights movement. The U.S. Supreme Court subsequently ruled segregation unconstitutional.
Racism has consequently retreated to the closet, -- far more difficult to combat and root out. Worst of all, it conveniently and cowardly hides behind political correctness. Precisely, why our hypocritical "President" has ordered the Flag flown at half staff Wednesday, the day of the funeral. Exactly, why Parks is lying in state at the Rotunda, as well.
While
Ms. Parks richly deserves
both honors and more, she's being phonily and condescendingly honored
by
Congress and the "President." Both Congress and the "Chief
Executive"
have quietly worked behind the scene for years to eviscerate programs
critical
to the civil rights movement such as Affirmative Action, welfare,
Medicaid,
Medicare, housing assistance, educational programs, etc.. The
list
can go on. In Nazi America.
Where day is night, night
is day, and manure smells perversely sweet.
