BUSH BUSINESS

A Chronicle of Disaster for America and its People

 

Impeachment hearing in the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled for July 25, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. Will this be an attempt at placating the impeachment demands of the populace or did Rep. John Conyers change his mind and decide to really investigate high crimes of the Bush Administration? Contact your congressmen and urge them to have an open and fair hearing of the evidence. It is time for Bush-Cheney, et al to pay the piper for their sins against humanity and their crimes of greed and torture.
Contact Congressman Conyers:

Phone: 202-225-5126
Rep. Dennis Kucinich has prepared a video thanking you for your help in getting impeachment heard by the Judicial Committee, CLICK HERE to view.

YOUR CANDIDATE AND THE FOURTH AMENDMENT-
Democratic apparent nominee Barack Obama played politics with your civil liberties- he went both ways, voted for amendments that he knew would fail and then voted for the FISA bill.
Republican nominee heir-apparent John McCain decided to abstain - therefore he can have it both ways.

Hillary Clinton heard the message while campaigning and even though she could not stop the establishment super delegates from going to Obama, she voted for the people and the fourth amendment.


Do you feel the Democratic Party going down the wrong road in lock-step with the Republicans with the nomination of Senator Barack Obama? if so, contact Howard Dean at the Democratic National Committee and impress upon him that FISA, War Funding and IRAN blockade votes by Obama lead you to believe he is not the man for 2008. Ask him to get the Super Delegates to reconsider and support a candidate who has Democratic Party principles.  CLICK HERE to contact DNC Chairman, Howard Dean.

 

Republicans voted in lock-step with Bush to shut out civil liberties and continue to pay telecoms huge fees to spy on you, me and everyone. The following Democrats voted with the Republicans- Let's vote them out in November if they are up for re-election and if not this year, when they do run again..

OBAMA'S CHANGE LOOKS LIKE MORE OF THE SAME
Letter to Jerry Pippin from columnist Jerry Wilhite

Jerry,

First, I would say to you that the people who have been saying that the Attorney General could go against the telecon companies are correct.  However, there is no requirement to do so.  It could be, just as Bush's "I'm a uniter" statement, just sop for the followers.  We don't even know who will be AG, much less whether he is "owned" by special interests.

The amendments do remove immunity.  That is a case of a Democrat saying :"Enough!!" 

Obama announced today that he would expand funding to faith based charities, because government just couldn't do it all.  Let's think about that.  The war in Iraq is a tremendous loss of money and manpower.  The war in Pakistan is a waste of money and manpower.  The war in Afghanistan is a waste of money and manpower.  The wan on drugs may cost more than the others combined. 

The General Accounting Office has demonstrated a failure to properly account for our tax dollars.  Hundreds of Millions, maybe even BILLIONS of dollars have disappeared in Iraq.  Until the GAO can get it right, keep the money in house.  I don't believe all faith based anything is necessarily above embezzlement. 

I want honest government the way it used to be.  Changing occupants in the Oval Office may not be good enough.  All incumbents, but a couple, should be voted out of office.  They simply have not done their jobs!! 

I offer no solutions.  I had thought Obama was the answer.  Now, I am not so sure.  Sure wish I knew who he was going to select for VP.  Edwards would make me feel better.  Kucinich would make me ecstatic.  Probably won't be either.

I will reserve my final opinion for a while.  However, professional politician Obama is starting to not look so good.  Just my two cents worth!!

 JW
July 1, 2008

My Answer -  Wilhite, I had suspected this all along, too many of the establishment politicians were jumping on the Obama train. Looks like it will be Bush Business as usual with just a slightly different spin. Too bad. You have to give these Bush people credit, they know what favors money can buy, indeed.
Jerry Pippin

BUSH BUSINESS Works
Because He Shares the Wealth!
Much like the old time pirates on open seas, Bush and company loves to give away US tax payer financed borrowed money. Remember the 8 billion in paper sacks taken to Iraq to buy loyalty and to allow old cronies to take their share, just like the mafia used to do in the counting rooms of Vegas? Well now we get the official word, two billion Pentagon borrowed dollars is missing.  It went to Pakistan, but no one knows who got it? Government accounting is creative especially at the Pentagon, but they just can't cover up the fact that two billion is missing.  

Where did it go, payoff to Ben Laden for helping the crooks take over the US government and steal, steal and lie, lie? Then there is crooked General Motors-trained executive who decided he was a General and ruled the country of Pakistan with an iron fist; he needed to get a little of the goodies too and he did. 

On a hot humid day in June in the US, it is apparent that we have been had by Bush/Cheney and now McCain wanting to be Bush 3? Will the country wise up and throw the bums out and into jail cells or will FEAR take over with another terrorist attack just before election time? If the stakes of liberty and pursuit of happiness for the general population were not so high, one would have to congratulate these two-bit..no that's two-trillion-dollar crooks for their ability to keep on stealing, lying and cheating, and oh, what are a few hundred thousand fatalities in the pursuit of wealth, the world is too populated anyway, right?

McCain and Obama were seated next to each other at today's memorial service for Tim Russert

THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE TIM RUSSERT EULOGY
Tom Brokaw with a bottle of Russert's favorite beer, Rolling Rock, toasted: "There will be some tears, some laughs, and the occasional truth." This is a difficult column to write and it is full of danger. The danger of misunderstanding. First of all by all accounts Tim Russert was a fine man, most liked him a lot.
He was by all accounts a family man, a devout Catholic and at least atone time he was like me a liberal when it came to political matters.  Then there is the overriding factor that will also be apparent in this article: Tim Russert was wildly successful, while from common roots much like myself, he rose to the very top of a couple of professions and his career makes mine look like a minor league player.  
 
So why write anything? Shouldn't Tim Russert be allowed to rest in peace, after all, look at what has been done in his name in just recent days. President Bush, Laura, the first lady, Jack Welch the former chairman of Russert's parent company GE, heaping praise on this man. The obvious emotions of his fellow colleagues and competitors being truly felt and transmitted to everyone. 
 
The two presidential-to-be candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama sitting together, even the Clintons were there, competitor CBS news even offered a video feed of the memorial service. But there is something that needs to be said to counter balance the natural re-writing of history by the media on their fallen media leader, so I am going to say it in the next paragraph and just let it hang out there for the reader to contemplate.
 
The problem with the career of Tim Russert rising to the top is the problem we have with the corporate media today and have had for some time. It was just brought home with the untimely death of their leading journalistic general. As far as Russert was concerned, religion and his beliefs based on that religion were evident in his work as an editor of truth. He was in charge of the NBC news bureau and his liberal background working for Democrats in the past was over-compensated by his effort to show fairness to the other side. In short, he slanted his "Meet the Press" questions in favor of the neo con movement. It was apparent to many liberals and in death, the elite of the corporate crowd and the leader of the neo conservative movement President Bush himself showed up with emotion to honor in their opinion a good foot soldier for their movement. 
 
Russert in this writer's opinion is solely responsible for Hillary Clinton's demise as the apparent nominee of the Democratic party. Russert had allowed without prejudice, the right wing conspiracy to trash President Clinton by using his forum every Sunday morning, with Russert not asking hard questions about war, graft, abuse of power by the Republican party. Yet he hammered away at the Democratic players with tough questions. He seemed to have it in for the Clintons. 
 
Why would he say two months ago that "this contest is over," referring to Hillary's race and  it appeared to me the NBC news bias for Barack Obama and John McCain was there. Hillary is a better person than me, I guess. I would not have gone to his funeral; but I guess that is just another piece of the evidence of what is wrong with national politics. The players decided sometime ago that Russert and NBC would be the national deal makers, why? 
 
Well, it was easy to see the pure sadness in the eyes of former GE chairman Welch as he revealed a personal relationship with Russert the other night on TV. The same with the President of the United States. This is not the time to write about the sins of corporate media and what they have done to America, we do that on a regular basis already.
 
Corporate influence and religious ideology should be out of government and I think it should be out of the media coverage of politics as well. Tonight the sun sets on the tomb on Tim Russert, for the first night of many futures days and nights. In the corporate board rooms and the news rooms of the networks and across America, the work will continue, reporting news hourly and daily. 
 
Russert was a good warrior for the corporate world, for the big media world, a king maker in national politics. Is this the way we want our news to be told in the future? I salute Mr. Russert for his success and for his humanity on a personal level, but did he do us any favors in his loyal pursuit of ideals that are fine for the million dollar a year men in communications and corporations; but what about the rest of us?
 
Shouldn't a reporter, especially one who has clout, one who controls the destiny of so many who work for him, shouldn't he have been a little more objective in the matter of the Clintons, the matter of war under false pretenses, the matter of billions being stolen by a fraudulent administration? 
 
Our sympathy goes out to the Russert family and to NBC news; but I leave with this question. How did a political animal with no journalism training become the boss of the most important news bureau in the NBC news family? Well, one thing is apparent Mr. Welch liked him a lot.

Beyond Impeachment: We All Can Play a Role in Bringing the
Bu$ch-Cheezey RICO Junta to Account

 
Larry W. Bryant has the right idea. He recently wrote a letter to the US Marshall's office in DC saying he wanted to put Bush/Cheney under citizens arrest for high crimes against the US. Bryant helped us with an impeachment drive we did in our hometown of Muskogee in which we wanted to get a citizens grand jury to look at the crimes of the Bush Administration. We halted the drive with only a few hundred signatures left on the required amount due to the landslide sea-change off-year congressional elections. We mistakenly thought the Democratic Party would pursue such obvious miscarriages of authority created by Bush and company over the IRAQ war, voter fraud and massive graft in the billions to close associates. It did not happen. 
 
Now Bryant is off on a new romp for justice and truth and he has a point. If Bush/Cheney and others can escape without punishment for their crimes what will the next group who seize power feel they can do and get done without retribution? His efforts have been met with stony silence by those in charge including his own congressman, James Moran.
 
Check out his on line petition and sign it: CLICK HERE
 
Contact your congressman and others in power with a plea for justice. When Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney and their associates leave office, they will all be billions of dollars richer thru graft.  The Constitution protecting individual citizens will be lying on the ground trampled by ambitions of the few for more power unchecked and the moral authority of the United States throughout the world will be in half-light, diminishing every day before our very eyes.
 
We salute Bryant and all others who do have a sense that harm has been done to Lady Liberty, she was literally raped and pillaged before our very eyes by this group of characters never before seen in the history of this great nation. We must repair the damage, it is almost too late.

The executives of these news organizations made it possible for President Bush to cause the death of well over 4,000 American Soldiers - Scott McClellan former Press Secretary for President Bush confirms in his new book what we have been saying for years here at www.bushbusiness.com: The Administration lied on a daily basis about the reasons for war and other policies that have not come home to ruin our reputation, our economy  - and the mass media was a willing partner.

CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin said that network executives had pushed her not to do hard-hitting pieces on the Bush administration. Will other brave reporters come forward? Will other news people come forward with the truth? The evidence is everywhere that the American people have been propagandized for years in the name of honest news reporting and now the truth is coming out, these men and women of journalism have created crimes against humanity under the cover of patriotic fever for a war everyone knew or should have known was a creation of the neo-con movement for fun and profit.

Will anyone go to jail? Manslaughter, negligent homicide and perjury crimes are rampant and now in the cover up torture, black mail and other crimes are being committed daily by members of the press, members of this administration. Just today, Friday, May 30, 2008, while men and women die under false pretenses our secretary of state is in a hotel in Europe with the rock group KISS partying it up. When will the American People say. "Enough is enough." We submit to you many TV news men, major newspaper correspondents should be fired, executives of these organizations need to be prosecuted and members of the administration should be held accountable and prosecuted.

I Suppose I Have Always Been Naïve
by Jerry Wilhite
05/30/08

I suppose I have always been naïve…but I trusted politicians. Now, like a firestorm, I learn that a few may have been deceitful. What a shock to my little, ole country-boy mind.

A former Press Secretary, for no less noble an institution than the White House has confirmed what many had only suspected. President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and others among their staff grossly misled the American public prior to “shocking and awing” the world with more bombs than we could afford. I, in my innocence, would never have thought it possible.

The mere thought that the same men who saved New Orleans, wherever it used to be, and the same men who forged an energy policy to protect Americans from rising oil costs would be deceitful just went against my grain.

I have been angry with the media being embedded with troops because I feared a bond might be forged, which would cause our media to just print news releases rather than facts. It turns out I was horribly wrong. As a perfect example, President Bush announced, in a warrior type way, “Mission Accomplished”. The media has paid zero attention and continues to talk about dead and dying people in the newfound Democracy of Iraq. Hell to the Chief!!

I suppose growing up in Oklahoma may have been partially responsible for my mind-set on politicians. We had Will Rogers to keep us straight. Texas had Billy Saul Estes. They were worlds apart in attitude and character. Now this disgruntled, whistle blowing, former Press Secretary tells us that Bush-Cheney, and probably McCain are more Estes type.

My god, say it isn’t so; politicians lacking in morals and scruples. Give me back the good old times!!

wilhite@jerrypippin.com


 The country is buzzing today over a tell-all book by former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. In his explosive memoir, McClellan reveals that the Bush administration ran a "political propaganda campaign" to mislead the American public on the war in Iraq.

But he takes it one step further, implicating the mainstream media for its role in "enabling" this propaganda: "The national press corps was probably too deferential to the White House" in spreading the president's case for the war, McClellan writes. The mainstream media didn't live up to its watchdog reputation. "If it had, the country would have been better served."

This should be a shock to everyone. The president's own spokesman lays a large share of the blame for Bush's pro-war propaganda on the media's "deferential" treatment of White House spin.

Please become part of a growing people-powered campaign to investigate this scandal and make media more accountable to the public:


Make Mainstream Media Answer for Spreading Pro-War Propaganda

Click on the link above and sign a letter that urges House Committee Chairs Ike Skelton, John Tierney and Henry Waxman to convene full congressional hearings about propaganda in the news.

The media's complicity in promoting this war was confirmed Wednesday night by CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin who said that network executives had pushed her not to do hard-hitting pieces on the Bush administration as the nation readied for war.

"The press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives, frankly, to make sure that this was a war presented in a way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation," Yellin told CNN's Anderson Cooper. (Watch the video).


Tonight's Phoenix Fund Raiser for John McCain Featuring President George W. Bush has been Cancelled because of Lack of Support
In further evidence that Bush Business has ruined the Republican Party, their expected Presidential candidate can't even get enough support in his home state of Arizona. This was brought home today by the cancellation of the event. The Bush White House said they are going to have more private events (so they can do a little arm twisting for funds?) Read the complete story HERE


NEW WORLD ORDER or OLD WORLD ORDER CONTINUED? 
Researcher Don Nicoloff believes he can prove that Presidential Candidate John McCain is a descendent of Churchill and rulers of England.
 
 In a series of articles for the Idaho Observer newspaper involved time-consuming research shows that McCain and his heritage was largely invented out of thin air by two Republican Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and James Buchanan- in conspiracy with  Prince Albert/King Edward VII and one of his mistresses, most likely Lady Randolph Churchill  It is very detailed but worth the time to read the case of McCain- another candidate pushed to the forefront of American Politics with a false pedigree and links to a world power conspiracy. CLICK HERE for  Part 1 (Published in the April issue of The Idaho Observer)

YALE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR SAID HE FLUNKED CHENEY

Former  economics professor at Yale University, Dr. Alfred E. Webre, told Jerry Pippin in a private phone conversation recently -"Cheney did not have what it took to pass my class at Yale-" Webre noted that President Bush and Vice President Cheney both are evil men, noting that Bush wanted to brand students with a branding iron."
CLICK HERE for the recording of the phone conversation. So we ask, is it any wonder that we have a financial collapse of our economy? That we are torturing people in the name of security? Don't you think it is about time for Bush Business to come to an end? Contact your congressman and tell them Bush/Cheney must pay for their crimes against the US and humanity?   

Ron Paul Tells All on Bush and Company

Bush Business was successful only because of a skilled group of radicals who made up their own rules and their own name for their group, "Neo-Conservatives." CLICK HERE for a YouTube presentation by Ron Paul, the Republican Congressman from Texas who explains in detail who these people are and why they are dangerous to our country and to the world.
 
This is something I urge everyone to look at ...Ron Paul lays out the story of the neo cons in great detail and to his credit mentions that Clinton is not one of them.

BUSH TRIES FEAR TACTIC AS GOP CONTINUES TO FALL - MISSISSIPPI NOW HAS A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR..

 
(5-14-08) Republican panic grips Washington as Mississippi House seat goes Democratic. In a last minute effort to stop the tide of a coming Democratic Landslide, President Bush has pulled out the terrorist card again. This time he says an ultimate act of terrorism is if the Democrats get elected to the Presidency.  He says they will pull out of Iraq and create another terrorist attack on America. Meanwhile evidence is showing the neo-con's have cried wolf once too often..a bedrock of Southern Support went down last night when Mississippi elected a Democratic candidate to house in a special election. 

Travis Childers, a Democrat, won a special election for a House seat in Mississippi on Tuesday night, defeating Republican opponent Greg Davis and lengthening a string of Democratic victories in solidly Republican congressional areas. The win by Childers adds to potential trouble for the Republican party in the fall. 


BUSH USES MARINES TO PROTECT POPPY FIELDS

(05-08-08) Last week, the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit moved into southern Helmand province, the world's largest opium poppy-growing region [thanks to Bush], and now find themselves surrounded by green fields of the illegal plants that produce the main ingredient of heroin. The Marines are not destroying the plants. In fact, they are reassuring villagers the poppies won't be touched. American commanders say the Marines would only alienate people and drive them to take up arms if they eliminated the impoverished Afghans' only source of income.

jUST AS THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE in SE Asia was the center of illegal drugs in the 60s and 70s, when the Senior Bush, and former President, was CIA director, junior Bush will not be out done. The Country in 2000 with the support and collaboration of the UN has almost completely ended the illegal drug trade but then came the yanks and opion cultivation again was on the rise  beginning in October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels and staying there.

Bush Business is not only good for the military industrial complex but is heaven for the dopers too. Does the Bush Mafia get protection money or are they just in for a huge cut of the profits?


Jon Stewart on Larry King Live

In Larry King's interview with Jon Stewart, February 20, 2008, Larry brought up the subject of the primaries and asked him if America was ready for a woman or a black president.

Jon looked at him quizzically and said, "That was such a non-question!
Did anyone ask us in 2000 if America was ready for a moron?"

 


A listener to our radio shows and a regular visitor to Bush Business sent us an email with some of the terms she found on the Internet describing our President Dubya, the nutcase- Here is her letter:
 
"These are a few of the names that were given to Bush on the net today -am sure there are more but doesn't sound like most people think he has any brains at all.  Pretty funny actually.  I agree with all of them too.

Cheney says "Go to Hell. Congress is not my boss."
(04-29-08) His lawyer says Congress has no authority over Dickie boy and what he does as Vice President. Will the Democrats in Congress take this insult or will they IMPEACH? Enough is enough, let's tell Dick to go home. The battle lines have been drawn because of requests from congressional Democrats that David Addington, the vice-president's chief of staff, testify about his involvement in the approval of interrogation tactics used at Guantanamo Bay. Ruling out voluntary cooperation by Addington, Cheney lawyer Kathryn Wheelbarger said Cheney's conduct is "not within the committee's power of inquiry"."

Cheney and his oil friends continue to make money and give the finger to Congress. Shell Oil has reported  record profits.   4.58 billion pounds  for Royal Dutch Shell and British Petroleum  made $7.6 billion which is 73 per cent over last quarter.


Voting in the US Gets Tougher Under New GOP -Backed Laws

 
(4-29-08)  Election Day in Florida May Look Familiar Eight years after the debacle of "hanging chads" [coup d'etat], Florida once again seems to be courting electoral trouble. 'Election' Day may end up looking oddly familiar. According to independent elections experts, it is now harder to vote here than in nearly every other state in the nation. Some critics predict that tens of thousands of potential voters will be kept off the rolls -- many of them poor, black or Hispanic. Election lawyers say Florida's Republican-controlled government has introduced more restrictions on the voting process than other states since 2000 and has fought harder to keep them.

Coup 2008 underway: The Supreme Court ruling on Monday upholding Indiana’s voter ID law is likely to lead to more laws and litigation, voting experts said. Lawmakers in at least four states may seek to pass stricter regulations in the next year or so, the experts said. In response, voting rights groups might sue on behalf of individuals or groups in an effort to exempt them.

States can require voters to produce photo identification, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, upholding a Republican-inspired law that Democrats say will keep some poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots. Twenty-five states require some form of ID, and the court's 6-3 decision rejecting a challenge to Indiana's strict voter ID law could encourage others to adopt their own measures. Oklahoma legislators said the decision should help them get a version approved.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that all states can demand photo identification papers from voters in a decision which could impact on the US presidential race six months before the 'elections.'


DUBYA BREAKS RECORD
 The Gallup Poll which has 70 years of  history and most of it highly favorable to Republicans did everything they could to slant the truth but it was hopeless.  69 percent of the US population has an unfavorable opinion of George W. Bush..the worst public opinion poll number for any US President ever in the Gallup poll!
 
In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, 28% of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing; 69% disapprove. If you add this up only 1 per cent had no opinion of Mr. Bush. Most experts think this will translate into a huge victory for whomever the Democratic Party selects as their nominee in Denver in August. McCain is largely seen as a clone of Bush so it appears the era of Bush Business is coming to an end.

BUSH PUSHES AND CONGRESS GIVES
(4-20-08) A bill that would have helped states pay to switch to paper-election balloting systems and for random audits after elections died out of a House committee this week, but its prime sponsor said he is not giving up the fight. U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) said the bill he sponsored, House Bill 5036, the Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act, would help make the nation's elections more accurate and secure by helping states move to paper ballots over touch-screen electronic machines. The bill, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, went down to defeat in the House 239-178, with 223 Democrats in favor and 176 Republican opposed, after the White House sent out a statement opposing the measure.

Building Fences one of the profit centers for Bush Business -
(4-18-08) Lori Price (http://www.legitgov.org/) said it best this morning:
Mr. Bush, tear down this wall!
U.S. Begins Erecting Wall in Sadr City
Construction of a massive concrete wall that will partition Sadr City, the densely populated Shiite neighborhood in the Iraqi capital, from the Green Zone is underway.  The construction began Tuesday night. The team building the barrier was protected by M-1 tanks, Stryker vehicles and Apache attack helicopters.   


Cheney-Rascal of Sorts? Commentary on the Media Reveals Itself to All

4-11-08- Rascal?  May be too polite a word to describe Vice President Richard (Dick) Cheney. The strange story of the naked woman in the sunglasses got lots of coverage even from CBS news but the real story here is evidence has surfaced that Cheney loves torture and signed off on doing it early on in the Bush Administration.  He was not the only one however, lots of top level people signed on to the idea of torturing suspects. Even the Justice Department said it was legal but is that law? Most law professors don't think so.  If it were law then no administration would be held accountable for any illegal activity.
 
We suggest  that as long as Congress does not prosecute, as long as US attorneys do not prosecute, then not only is the Bush Business of torture going to continue, but so will the stealing of funds, and many other illegal activities that have assured the second Bush Administration its rightful place in history, the WORST.

THE IRAQ SEQUEL PLAYS OUT ON CAPITOL HILL
( 4-9-08)  Theatrics and tactics played center stage on Tuesday and today, Wednesday, on capitol hill. Today in the Senate, Army Gen. David Petraeus; actually used last years script, as if the Senators would not catch on that they heard the same words last year. Even down to the exact dates the General said, in July a 45 day grace period for assessment and then a decision on more or less troops in September.
 
This re-run had stooge for the administration Senator Joe Lieberman setting up the IRAN monologue. As drama critics had expected, the good General seized the question about IRAN's meddling in US Army Affairs in IRAQ and ran with it. The indication was simply, "We can't win in IRAQ so let's go to IRAN."
 
This was the same playbook used in Vietnam by Kissinger and Nixon, promising to end the war in '68 and by '70 moving into other neighboring countries to "smoke out the enemy." When Henry and Dick did it, it cost us 20,000 more casualties.  This time Dubya and the current DIck think the deaths of US Troops will be fewer. Could it be because they plan to use Tactical nuclear weapons? 
 
A further indication that IRAN is on the front burner is the announcement late Tuesday night that President Bush has an important international policy speech to give to the nation on Thursday night. 
 
Hey, they re-ran last year's congressional testimony on Tuesday why not rerun that speech Bush gave back before invading Iraq, just change the words from Iraq to Iran and Saddam to militant muslims?  Bush Business has bankrupted us morally and with this new projected move, it will bankrupt us financially.
 
Have any of the economists noticed that the reason the economy sucks is that the money has been sucked out to fight IRAQ on credit?

BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS PANIC ATTACK AND ACTS ACCORDINGLY

(4-4-08) Just when it seemed like the Senate was about to pass a bill protecting journalists from revealing their sources in stories about government wrongdoing, Bush/Cheney and their puppet attorney General Michael Mukasey have come out opposed to this bill on national security issues. This is not a new tactic by Bush and his cronies as they have used terrorism and national security to cover their tracks in stealing billions and even waging a war on untruths. Now these same people are asking you to believe the traitors among us are the journalist and whistle blowers. 
 
A Department of Justice Web site was posted on Thursday aimed at drawing support for administration proposals which would gut the present Shield Bill. We will watch the vote and tell you who is a friend of honest journalism and who is not.  

 Bush Business was Good but Mostly Illegal - Watch the gang get ready for jail time -one by one- it will happen more often and faster once Democrats get control of the rugged Justice Department
 
Under criminal investigation, HUD secretary resigns (03-31-08) Top Bush official faces charges of cronyism and favoritism- The Bush administration's top housing official is resigning at a time when the housing industry is embroiled in crisis. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson announced Monday he is quitting. His resignation will take effect on April 18. Jackson is under criminal investigation and has been fending off allegations of cronyism and favoritism involving HUD contractors for the past two years.

“And the Band Played On!!”
by Jerry Wilhite - 03/30/08

I don’t really know the origin of this, but feel it was a tribute to the band on the Titanic who continued to play, even as their ship tried to throw them into the sea. Today we have a similar situation, the Obama-Clinton race for the Presidency. Today, two bands playing on, in the near future one survivor will stand victorious.

Many feel this race will damage the chances for the Democrats in the general election. However, both parties are fully entitled to fight to the end. The so-called mud slinging that has occurred has been relatively very minor. That isn’t the problem.

I believe this is the first time I have seen the electorate so firmly committed to a candidate, no matter which one. It is a very possible scenario to conclude there will be two bands still playing at the convention. Large numbers of followers of each candidate have said they will vote for Nader, or McCain, or stay home if their candidate is not the bandleader in the General Election.

I have repeatedly stated that I would prefer a Democrat in office than a Republican. The Democrats have much work to do to restore our rights and liberties. The Republicans are quite happy to keep feathering the nest of their cronies until our currency is worthless.

Think, people, before you give away your vote in a snit. The losers in that scenario are all Americans. By all means, fight like Hell for your bandleader. But, when push comes to shove in the General Election, vote Democrat. We plainly can’t afford Republicans anymore!!

Meanwhile, the bands play on!!

Final Months of Bush Business Shows that Most "Friends" of the US Do Not Trust Us Anymore
 
The record for being a friend to the US if you are a leader of a small Arab Country is pretty clear. Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi warned Arab allies of the United States that they could meet the same fate as former Iraq president Saddam Hussein, hanged in 2006 three years after the US-led invasion. "A foreign force occupied an Arab country and hanged its president and we stood by and watched," he told an Arab summit in the Syrian capital. 
 
"How can they execute a prisoner of war and the president of a member of the Arab League?" Gaddafi asked. He said Saddam had been a friend of the United States during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s "before they turned against him and executed him. You could all suffer the same fate, he warned. Even you, even we, who are considered friends of America, one day (America) can give the green light for our own hanging," said the Libyan leader.
 
The Godfather of the Bush takeover of American politics, former President Ronald Reagan ordered bombing Gaddafi and the Libyan leader's daughter was killed in the incident.  The pretense was the Pan Am bombing over Scotland which later evidence showed a likelihood of its being a CIA act to rev up tensions for Republican political purposes.

(3-28-08) NORTH KOREA FIRES OFF SEVERAL MISSILE TESTS  and Pakistan says US not welcome to continue with "killing fields" in their country. Meanwhile Defense Secretary Gates wants to find our missing Nukes- orders inventory search.. remember last September the Nukes flying across country? Well this week, nuclear fuses were given to Taiwan by accident. Bush Business is out of control when it comes to containing nuclear weapons. Open Rebellion in Iran, huge gaps in financial accountability of weapon purchases, lots of missing money and missing weapons and Bush today at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton said, "My party is the party of security." Could it be that Bush Business today has moved from just making money to insane ideas about using nukes?

Voter Fraud by Rush Limbaugh - Will They Prosecute?
There are two things about this report below I wish to comment on. First of all, let's by all means send Rush to jail for encouraging voter fraud and perjury on innocent people who somehow believe the BS that Rush puts out every day. There is an investigation going on in Ohio about voter fraud.  It is against the law to swear your loyalty to the Democratic Party under oath while intending to influence a vote while being a member of another  political party. Rush Limbaugh urged everyone to cross over and vote for Hillary in Ohio and Texas, in effect breaking election laws in Ohio. Limbaugh not only should be punished but also the stations in Ohio who broadcast his plea without disclaimers and that would be all, General Managers, CEOs, and Program Directors they can all go to a prison in Ohio..a private prison where meals are skimped for profit, where guards don't have obey civil rights laws and where torture is routinely practiced on inmates, usually of color.  Yes, this is a great idea.

Secondly, Rush may think he is king but he is not, his ratings are flat and in many markets fading, and have been for sometime. So he and conservatives can kid themselves all they want, but Rush is not the reason a million more Democrats voted in Ohio than Republicans. The country has had it with the double standard of cheap punks who are running the Republican Party including the lying leaders, Bush, Cheney, and McCain. They have killed a million Iraqis in a war started under false pretense and the naive support of ordinary Americans who tend to believe their leaders despite the unbelievable tales they tell for power and money.  America is waking up and the Republican party is now going to suffer the consequences of cynical behavior praying on the fears of good Christian people who tend to believe they (Republicans) are on God's side. I think a reality check will show God was active in human activities long before America existed. 

Personally as a member of the media for over four decades, I think many of the "moves and shakers" need to leave with the discounted Republican movement. These media kings in search of the almighty dollar over ethics and morality are guilty of treason. Their lock on the human emotions created by what we refer to as the "buzz" of day to day media blitzing must be broken and responsible ownership of TV and radio stations, networks and even in my business, Internet Broadcasting, must prevail or all is lost for America. The hacks who promoted the propaganda of the Nazi and Communist war machines are envious of how corporate America and the hyper-conservative movement has taken over America's independent thinkers.

God save the Queen? How about God save us from ourselves. This is a time when the golden rule is needed to be our guide; unfortunately I see the power brokers unrepentant and conniving waiting for the next chance to get what little change is left in your jeans in the next round of fear mongering.

JibJab_Media makes the point that our media associates and friends have indeed lost their way and we as American citizens are the worse for it; in fact, we may not survive much longer due to the neglect and deceit of the corporate media - CLICK HERE to watch What We Call the News.

March 20, 2008 and the War in IRAQ is five years and still going strong.  Mission Accomplished?
Trillions of Dollars spent and Haliburton and friends of Bush/Cheney have made 200 billion plus in profits. A million Iraqi's have died, 4,000 combat deaths for US Military and estimates of thousands more who were off the rolls because they died later in military hospitals and were not counted by the lying cheats who conned their way into this phony war against terrorism.  Fitting that today, a video of Osama Bin Laden appears threatening violence against the European Union. Bush Business is good and the script writers of the greatest fictional account of a war on Terrorism continues to grind out the saga of stories based on  half truths and fears generated by religious interest.  Bush Business remains strong even though the results of Bush policies have weakened  the financial structure of America and the world.  Will these corrupt unprincipled men remain in power, passing the torch of greed and deceit to McCain and company? Stay tuned, the epic battle of good vs. evil continues ...      


Bush Business is Good -
Well at least for some people.  If you are a Gold merchant, it almost made a thousand dollars an ounce today (3-13-08) and Oil is $110.00 a barrel.  Why? Because Bush Business rules allow for excessive charges without penalty.  It was the way Dick and Dubya saw the world, and so far they are getting their friends in high places richer than anyone could have ever dreamed and oh yes, the Democrats can't even stop Torture. Veto override failed in the Congress this week.  Will Bush and Cheney go quietly? Not if the money people get their way. 


At least one treated for possible Anthrax poison possibly contained in death threat to Bush in Fort Worth Federal Building mail  

 
News Update from Citizens For Legitimate Government

All items are here:

Federal employee opens letter containing powder, threat to Bush --Information about threat to president turned over to FBI 10 Mar 2008 (TX) There was no anthrax or any other dangerous substance in an envelope that was opened Monday in an office at the federal building in downtown Fort Worth, officials said. The letter did, however, contain a threat to the president [sic] of the United States, and it also warned that anthrax was enclosed, officials said. Some powder fell out of the letter, but a subsequent field test indicated it was harmless. [See: At least one person treated for anthrax exposure in Fort Worth 10 Mar 2008 At least one person was being treated Monday at the Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital emergency room after the patient had claimed to have been exposed to anthrax.]


Could it Be that Mr. Bush has Finally Seen the Light?
(03-05-08) - It has been apparent for some time that George W. Bush has failed once again in his career choices. His presidency will go down in history as one of the most lackluster and corrupt ever. Today, just before a photo-op during which he would endorse John McCain and his run for the Presidency, Bush decided to give a preview of his next career change.

The question is simply, should Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, or even George Burns be worried about their dancing legacy?

Once again Bush is pursuing a dance career after he has tried managing baseball teams, drilling for oil, and running the great state of Texas - as well as the good old USA -  into a desperate situation financially.

While George dances, his beloved home state of Texas is turning from Red to Blue before his eyes.
