Political Perusals

In the lastest edition of "Dubyuh-Speak"; Television news programs and comedy shows have recently aired an excerpt from one of Bush's speeches. While speaking about his vague "War On Terror", he say that terrorists are becoming more & more sophisticated, but we're not going to let them "hold us hostile". (instead of "hostage") FRUEDIAN SLIP???????? or is he simply exhibiting more of his inability to speak the English language? There is a company on the web, that sells a calendar; featuring daily examples of "Dubyuh-Speak". (View at your own risk..., they are seriously frightening) Don't forget, that years of alcoholism ALWAYS kill many brain-cells!!! If he's our "best& brightest", then WE ARE IN DEEP SHIT!! Dave

The "Center for Public Integrity" has estimated that there are approx. 25,000 lobbyists working in Washington D.C. (Odd, but I thought that American Democracy belonged to ALL the people; not just those who can afford lobbyists!) They also have discovered that at least 850 American Oil & energy companies have "Off-shore" headquarters; OBVIOUS ploys to avoid paying American taxes!!!! (Guess who "makes-up-the-difference"???) It is no wonder that "George" cannot "do-the-math" regarding casuaties in Iraq; he hasn't been able to "do-the-math" regarding OUR ECONOMY!!! He has justified the killing of 12,000 Iraqi and 1000 Americans with vague references to " a war on terror" and mentions of 9-11 (where 2300+) people died) The numbers JUST DON'T "ADD-UP"! I have also learned that George W. spends $130,000 annually to belong to a Florida "Country-Club"..... Isn't that MOST OF WHAT HE EARNS AS PRESIDENT??? I guess that we can all "identify" with him; don't we ALL spend more than $100 Grand to play golf??? He's truly a "Man-of-the people"!!! Dave

The U.S. Census Bureau recently announced that in the year 2003, American children "living-in-poverty" increased by 17%.... This while "George -the-Lesser" contends that the economy is doing so-well!!! Is he a liar, or simply a moron??? See a new documentary film called "UNCOVERED" by Robert Greenwald, for a factual account of the motives and policies behind the Iraq war. THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE!!!!! THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW.

The most recent Bush-T.V. spots feature John Kerry denouncing the Viet Nam war; telling of attrocities comitted. Such attrocities have been WELL-DOCUMENTED, but are still relatively un-known by most Americans. The massacre at Mi Lai was the only attrocity that came to the public's attention, as it was comitted against women & children. Viet Nam vets will tell you that it was not un-common to see decapitated "Cong" with their heads on sticks and their testicles in their mouths. Such tactics were employed by BOTH sides, to terrorize and intimidate their enemies. Bush campaign strategists try to present Kerry as somehow "Un-American" by his testimony before Congress. Since when is the truth "Un-American"???? Apparently Bush/Cheney feel that "Blind-Patriotism" is more important than truth. Blind-Patriotism is an easy method to lead people to war. Another movie has been made about the "intel" surrounding the Iraqi invasion. Called "UNCOVERED", by Robert Greewald, it is a documentary that details how Bush/Cheney selectively culled "intelligence" to support their own pre-existing conclusions. It contains interviews with dozens of top-level F.B.I., C.I.A., and Administration officials; as well as many noted "middle-Eastern" authorities . It also details the "Project For A New American Century", or "P.N.A.C.".; whose members include: George W., Jeb, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz. P.N.A.C. has a well-documented agenda to use American military-might to invade & conquer Middle Eastern nations... going back as far as 1998. They feel that it is our "divine-duty" to inflict their concept of "Democracy" upon them; using our vastly superior Military-Industrial- strength. (Sounds reminiscent of the "Manifest-Destiny" that decimated most Native Americans in the 18th & 19th Century) The Sunday Albuquerque newspaper ran an editorial by John Dendahl; comparing Michael Moore's FARENHEIT 9-11, to the propaganda films of Nazi Germany. In this editorial, he states: (in the film) "what wasn't seen is an air transport being flown into the World Trade Center". Dendahl is SO un-informed that he doesn't know the difference between a "passenger-jet" and an "air transport" plane. Just who is this John Dendahl? I will research him and publish more>>> Dave

Today, an East-Coast Republican "politico" , named Marylin O'Grady, has attempted to mount a boycott of Bruce Springsteen's music. "The Boss" has volunteered his time and talent toward the campaign-comittee for Kerry., and now the Republicans are becoming desparate.... It seems that the only "celebrities" that Bush can muster are Lee Greenwood (WHO?), and Tim McGraw. Two inbred-redneck musicians who have limited appeal, and even less political insight. Does this Republican "Whacko" actually believe that ANYONE is going to express their political views by burning their Springsteen C.D.s???? Many Americans proudly display "Bumper-stickers" proclaiming "The Power of Pride"..... Have they forgotten that "Pride goeth before a fall"????? I am not especially impressed with Kerry, but I would GLADLY vote for a man who has the courage to "change his mind" about an issue, rather than a president who, "bullheadedly" pursues a policy of "staying the course"; when the course is OBVIOUSLY WRONG!!! Bush continues to create MORE Islamic militants every day; His Foreign-Policy reminds me of the statement of a Pentagon-spokesman, early in the war.... He said that their objective was to: "blow stuff up, and kill people". Bush is as obstinant, and single-minded as the president of Israel, Ariel Sharon. It is NOT POSSIBLE to "bomb, and kill your enemies and their families into "peace". If you follow Bush's strategy, we would have to kill EVERY Muslim on the face of the Earth!!! The "Christian Right", is neither "Right", or "Christian"....Bush justifies the killing of 11,000 Iraqi non-combatants with vague references to a "War on Terror", and the killing of 2300+ people on 9-11. What part of that is "CHRISTIAN"?????????? I encourage anyone who reads this to e-mail Ms. O'Grady, and inundate her with "outrage". Her attempts to support Bush are pathetic, ill-informed, and simply WRONG. Even William Buckley, on the Charlie Rose show, has admitted that Bush's war was ill-advised, and arbitray; Not based on credible evidence. He has also confessed that he believes Bush will LOSE the election, as a result of this war. .... Have we forgotten the promises of the 2000 campaign?? Those where Bush promised to "be a uniter, not a divider", where he promised to "downsize" government?, where he promised economic-growth based on tax-cuts"?? We now have UNPRECEDENTED bureaucracy, with Bush promising to establish a NEW level of "red-tape" in the intelligence-process., with a National Intelligence-director. The problem with "intelligence" is that BUSH HAS NONE!!! His tax-cuts, reminiscent of the "Trickle-down" economics of Reagan, have AGAIN caused economic stagnation, rising un-employment, MASSIVE Federal-Debt , while profitting the top-1% of tax-payers. The "rich" get richer, the environment gets pillaged, while American youth are killed . SO MANY military members are enlisted from the ranks the "poor" and "unemployed", yet I don't see the BUSH TWINS volunteering to join the military. Yesterday, QWest announced hundreds of job-cuts in the local Albuquerque call-center. Not long ago, M.C.I. closed it's "call-center"; laying-off hundreds. (out-sourcing such jobs to India). How long will it be before INTEL packs-up and moves to Mexico, or China??? Bush thinks that "Trade" is something that one does with baseball players, or bubble-gum-cards. Dave

Have you seen the latest Bush-T.V. spots?? They're the kind of "spots" that , after they have aired, make you wonder: "What the hell did he just say?" They're those "warm-fuzzy" yet vague attempts at "spin" that don't really say ANYTHING!! No mention of "issues", no explanations of "policy", no "vision", no attempt to explain his many failures, and corrupt-dealings, merely abstract references to such things as: "values", "Faith", "purpose", etc. I guess he's counting-on the votes of the "Lobotomized", the "un-informed", and the "un-caring" masses to re-elect him. His illegal war has killed almost 1000 Americans, wounded another 7000 more, and killed an estimated 11,000 Iraqi citizens. (not counting Iraqi military) A true "Civil War" has erupted in Iraq, with American troops caught in the crossfire. Suni, Shiite, Kurd, Taliban and Al Queda have all begun targeting any "foreigners"; and radical-fundamental- Muslim groups are "sprouting like weeds". Bush has truly "opened-a-can-of-worms" with his short-sighted, inept attempts to quell "terrorism". His administration IS STILL funding the "Strategic Space Initiative"; a truly insane, non-functional system that is supposed to protect America from "Missle-attack".( At a cost of 52 Billion dollars for the next 5 years alone!!) What happened to all those "oil-revenues", that were supposed to pay for this war?? Where are all the "W.M.D.s"???? Why have ALL intelligence-agencies DENIED any connection between Al Queda and Saddam Hussein?? This week, White House sources have been quoted as saying that they "may have over-estimated" the terrorist-threats that led to last-week's escalation of the "Threat-Level". Odd, that seems JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO BUSH'S JUSTIFICATION FOR THE WAR!!.... "Somewhat over-estimated"...Just like what he said about job-growth... "somewhat over-estimated". It now seems that Mr. Chalabi... Bush's #1 source for Iraqi-intelligence, has been charged with corruption & counterfeiting. (You remember him.. he was the one who said that American troops would be greeted as "liberators, with flowers; gladly handing-over their weapons".) Chalabi's nephew has also been charged with murder; this while he sits on the tribunal that is supposed to judge Saddam. Bush's record as "administrator" and "leader" is SO fraught with failures that it "boggles-the-mind"! Last week,( during a speech which he read), he stated that "terrorists are becoming more & more clever in their attacks on America, and so are we"...I am convinced that the man is truly a "moron". I recently compiled a list of Bush's failures, and evidence of corruption. It reached nearly three-pages!! I am simply "flaberghasted" that so many people are "clueless". The facts are available, and well-documented for anyone to learn. (except those that the Bush administration has sucessfully hid from scrutiny.... see Harken Energy, Arbusto Oil, Koch Industries, The Carlyle Group, The Barrick mining corporation, Halliburton, Enron, and the secret-Energy-Policy meetings of Dick Cheney). Bush has also used the W.T.O. and the World Bank to leverage control of publicly-owned utilites and water-works throughout the world; right into the hands of Bush-campaign-contributors. (See the recent riots and strikes in Argentina & Bolivia) Anyone who criticizes Bush is accused of "Bush-bashing", and being "un-patriotic" ; yet the corruption, and greed of this administration is unprecedented. We CANNOT ALLOW THESE THREATS TO OUR DEMOCRACY GO "UN-CHALLENGED"!!! Dave

ECONOMIC TERRORISM Today, the "Office of Homeland Security" announced an elevated "Threat-Level", due to "Credible-sources". It seems that Al Queda has found it cheaper to make a few phone-calls and send a few e-mails, than it is to actually mount an attack. Such "credible sources" cause panic, and escalate the activities of law-enforcement and intelligence agencies. Osama Bin Ladin can send a few vague e-mails, and sit back to watch us scurry around like cockroaches. We saw companies that make "duct-tape " and plastic sheeting experience "record-setting" sales, shortly after an escalation of the "Threat-Level". Such "scare-tactics" MAY even be fabricated; as they also serve to increase the paranoia in America, and therefore, the support for Bush's "War On Terrorism". Every time the "Threat-Level" is increased; Bush, Ashcroft, and Ridge appear on T.V. to re-affirm their resolve against "Terror". Instantly, the "Bush-approval-rating" climbs in the public-polls. It also serves as a boost for the "Military-Industrial-Complex", and an excuse for rising gas-prices. With Bush's intimate connections in Saudi Arabia, a "conspiracy-theorist" might even suspect his collaboration with Bin Ladin. Why has a $50 MILLION DOLLAR REWARD not produced the capture or killing of Bin Ladin?? Any number of "free-lance" mercenaries should SURELY "JUMP AT THE CHANCE" to capture Bin Ladin. I would bet "good-money" that the capture of Bin Ladin will occur shortly before the November elections. What better device than his capture, to assure the re-election of "George-The-Lesser"???? He can ride the "Patriotic-Fervor" ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!! Dick Cheney appeared in Albuquerque on July 31st. Tickets to his speech were given ONLY to those who agreed to sign a " loyalty-oath" to Bush- Cheney. Citing "security-concerns", a Republican spokesman made vague references to subversive "Democratic activists". Sound strangely familiar?? I guess I mistakenly believed that Cheney was EMPLOYED BY ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS!! Not just a few Republican "nut-jobs!" I suppose that I should not be surprised, since Cheney has spent more than 60% of his "public-appearances" RAISING MONEY FOR THE RE-ELECTION!!!! Doesn't he have WORK TO DO??? If you or I failed to do our jobs 60% of the time, we would IMMEDIATELY be fired!!! Lets make sure that Cheney gets his "walking-papers" as well!! ..........Dave
