P.B.S. Television tonight aired a damaging report on the Bush administration's devious strategies of altering, ajusting and ignoring the scientific research which was not favorable to their corporate contributors. We have a former oil-industry executive, Gail Norton, acting as the head of the department of the Interior. The show detailed studies by B.L.M. hydrologists, geologists, and environmental scientists. These people have decades of experience in their fields, and hold scores of degrees in many fields of science. When their published research was not-in-the-interest of oil & gas companies, energy companies, cattle conglomerates, etc., the research was re-written, "doctored", and supressed. P.B.S. documented a B.L.M. scientist, with 30 years experience. When his findings about "ground-water"and grazing were published, his findings were COMPLETELY CHANGED IN , WHAT IS CALLED, "A 180".!! It seems that various cattle-growers, who graze on federal land, have enough clout to achieve a complete re-write of "peer-reviewed" scientific data. In New Mexico, the Feds are attempting to "push-through" oil drilling on the Otero Mesa; an un-spolied area which is "environmentally-sensitive". This area is, unfortunately, VERY near the oil-fields, refineries, and associated "oil-patch" towns such as Artesia, Hobbs, and Lovington. A visit to any of these towns will quickly show what Bush has in mind for the Otero Mesa. These towns REEK of sulfur, oil-spills, and toxic-waste. Coincidentally, these are the SAME towns which were so prominently visited by Dick Cheney in his last election bid. (The largest employer in this area is HALLIBURTON!!) In countless instances, data about "Global-Warming", "Endangered Species", and "Environmental Impact" have been TOTALLY ALTERED!! We are currently experiencing a heat-wave, unprecedented in the last 50 years. We have massive evidence of "Global-Warming" and the melting of polar ice-caps. We have piles of data about the environmental-impact of industrial-toxins and "heavy-metals". Still, the Bush "LIARS" manipulate the truth and the scientific studies to meet their corrupt agendas. Today, the Kimberly Clark corporation "laid-off" 6000 workers. This follows this month's "lay-offs" by Kodak and Hewlett Packard. Last month alone, 111,000 American workers LOST THEIR JOBS!!! Still, we hear government "spokesmen" telling us HOW GREAT THE ECONOMY IS!!! "Dubyuh" still attempts to "stay-the-course" in Iraq; while a civil-war is fermenting.The Prime Minister of Iraq recently stated that "Civil War" is beginning. Bush claims to be "fighting-terrorism" by invading Iraq; yet the recent bombings in London and Egypt are the latest evidence that he has incited FAR more Islamic-fundamentalism and created FAR more terrorists. He has often stated, that "If we don't fight them over-there, we'll have to fight them here at home"...... It is just a matter-of-time before America is attacked again. Bush has stymied attemps to staff the I.N.S with more border-guards. He has FAILED to initiate any serious security measures at our seaports. Our "mass-transit" systems are totally unprotected from suicide-bombers. Bush's arrogant, short-sighted hubris has made the world MORE dangerous. He has "attacked a bee-hive, with a stick"; and now the "bees" are PISSED!!! Recent statistics have CONSERVATIVELY estimated the Iraqi-casualties at MORE THAN 25,000!!! Iraq has been experiencing "ethnic-strife" and tribal-warfare for 3000 years; Now Dubyuh-dumbass thinks that he can "create a democracy" in a matter of months....... After making election-claims that he wasn't interested in "Nation-building"!! His stupidity is KILLING people every day!!! He is TOTALLY IGNORANT of the lessons learned in Viet Nam. I suppose, he was too-busy "getting-drunk" and "schmoozing" with his fraternity-brothers to fathom the killing-fields of Cambodia. As part of the "Privledged-Elite", he cares NOTHING for the plight of the unemployed who join the military in desparation and some vague sense of "Patriotism"; those same "Jobless-poor", who die to make money for his corporate "Buddies".... such as Halliburton, G.E., Bechtel, and the Carlisle Group. It has recently been disclosed, that Valerie Plame's "cover".... a ficticious company with numerous other C.I.A. "Operatives", was assigned to "spy" on ARAMCO Oil. The oil company OWNED BY THE SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY!!! A COINCIDENCE???? I THINK NOT!!! Let's NEVER forget, that ENRON was the LARGEST-contributor to the Bush campaign in 2000!! Bush's elections reek of "fraud", deception, lies, and diversion. The I.RS. is now contracting "Choicepoint", a Neo-Con supported and operated "data-processing-firm". This is the same company, which manipulated the Florida voting-polls in 2000; denying more than 50,000 registered voters THE RIGHT TO VOTE!! and which secured the election for Bush!!! This is the same "data-processing-firm" which recently LOST secret, financial information on tens-of-thousands of Americans!!! How much corruption will Americans stand??? before they "become militant"?? The "Bush-Doctrine" seems to that of "Anything is alright, as long as we don't get-caught; or as long as we can "spin" our way out of it"!!! They "count-on" the fact that all Americans have very short "attention-spans"; If they "divert", and "deflect" long enough, we will all forget. History will show, as the evidence is already mounting, that the Bush administration is the MOST secretive, MOST devious, MOST corrupt, and MOST incompetent in our nations history!!................Dave
