Political Perusals
Thursday, May 26, 2005
A member of the British Parliament recently testified before Congress, regarding illegal shipments of Iraqi oil, under the "Oil-For-Food" program of the United Nations. Mr. Galloway, stated that illegal oil shipments had made, "with full knowledge" of the American Government, being allowed "to pass" U.S. Naval blockades. He testified that these oil tankers ended up at a company in Houston Texas. It would be VERY interesting if a link; (hotel receipts, airline reservations, etc) could link this Houston-Texas company to the Dick Cheney "secret- energy-policy meetings". If such links exist, they would be evidence of CRIMINAL conspiracy by Dick Cheney. Any "investigative-journalists" interested in pursuing this?? Dave

America's military installations are bracing for the next "B.R.A.C. attack". (Base re-alignment and closure) Remember when Dubyuh spoke of "building oil-refineries on old military bases?"... Hmmm?? Methinks this is another "corporate give-away"... at the expense of American taxpayers. One MUST question the advisability of closing Military bases DURING A WAR!! I might seem logical to wait until our troops have returned from Iraq, and been processed through the various V.A. hospitals to start closing their facilities!! It is estimated that Halliburton and other contractors are building as many as FOURTEEN new military bases in Iraq!! They are also building the MOST EXPENSIVE embassy on the planet in Baghdad. Returning vets are ALREADY experiencing inadequate services and funding. Now Bush wants to close the facilities that support them. Is THIS "patriotism"?? Last week, a Cessna flew into "restricted" air-space in Washington D.C. The resultant panic was reminiscent of 'Chicken Little". Screaming people "ran-for-their-lives"; with NO plan or sense of direction; while the Washington D.C. city government WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF THE INCIDENT UNTIL AFTER IT WAS OVER!! Another FINE example of how the Bush administration has "dropped-the-ball" when it comes to "making America safer"!!Remember about 20 yeras ago, a similar airplane actualy STRUCK the White House?? There was minimal damage, and only the pilot (if I recall corectly) was killed! Al Queda operatives are surely laughing hysterically at our "Homeland Security". Every day, another example surfaces of the incompetance and stupidity of the Bush administration. Neo-Cons have recently begun an attack on a member of the British Parliament, who they claim profited from the Iraq "oil-for-food" program. To date, the ONLY evidence of any "profiteering" which has been found, shows a Houston-Texas oil company receiving illegal shipments of oil, WITH THE FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE U.S.GOVERNMENT!!!( the British Parliamentarian has testified that American Naval vessels allowed passage of Iraqi oil tankers, loaded with illegal shipments) Is it any wonder that the Cheney "secret energy-policy-meetings" are kept secret?? I would be willing to bet that same "Houston-Texas-based" oil company, (as well as ENRON) were involved with those "policy-meetings"!! Any involvement , by this company, in Cheney's "meetings" would be evidence of a "criminal-conspiracy" to manipulate gas & oil prices. Doesn't this BEG for further inquiry??......Dave

Did anybody catch Ann Coulter on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno", a few days ago?? It appears that her ONLY redeeming feature is her over-exposed thigh, which she flaunted via an extreme slit in her skirt. It seems that she was recently the target of a "pie-attack" ... an uncessful attempt at hitting her in the face with a cream pie. She could not intelligently articulate any serious concepts, prefering to mention the "pie-incident" at least SIX times!!! I could not help but think that her constant mention of "food" was, in some way, revealing something about her. Perhaps her name "Ann" is short for "ANN-AREXIA"!! Perhaps the "assailant" in the pie-attack was merely trying to FEED HER!! She truly needs some sort of nutrition; as her brain-cells are beginning to atrophy. Her vacuous diatribes give "Blondes a bad reputation"; chosing to ignore facts, spouting the same-old Neo-Con lies and propaganda................ Dave
Today, a local N.B.C. affiliate (K.O.B.T.V.) stated ,during a "news-cast" that movie critics were calling the "Star Wars Revenge of the Sith" movie; "Nothing but a thinly-disguised attack of President Bush"!!! It seems that the "Neo-Con-talking-heads" have their slimy tentacles throughout N.B.C. It is truly RIDICULOUS to portray this movie as an "attack" on Bush.... since it's plot-line has beenprogressing for 25 years; and this particular episode has been "in the works" for 15 years!! If Bush has ANY resemblence to Darth Vader, it is HIS OWN DOING!! In typical "double-speak" "Dubyuh-dumbass" referred to an "Axis of Evil"... (Iraq, North Korea, and China)!! you know "China"... Walmart's LARGEST MANUFACTURER, AND AMERICA'S # ONE TRADE-PARTNER!!! The "Shoe is now on the other foot" as it were. European and Asian nations are now comparing Bush's colonialism to the "Dark-Side" and it's "Evil Empire". I needn't remind anyone that AMERICA and Russia ARE THE ONLY "NUKE-YUH-LUHR" COUNTRIES THAT HAVE INVADED OTHER NATIONS!! In typical "Neo-Con" fashion, the Republican "spin-doctors" are now "attacking'... another lame-assed attempt to divert close-scrutiny of their incompetence, lack-of-leadership, and their corruption. George's Federal-judges recently allowed United Airlines to "weasel" out from their pension-fund-obligations to their employees. These obligations were EARNED by these employees, yet now these Federal-Judges feel obligated to protect United from bankruptcy..... only WEEKS after making it all-but-impossible for "Average-Americans" to declare bankruptcy. The Republican agenda makes it "O.K." for corporations to avoid their obligations; but "CRIMINAL" for Average-Americans, (who often have experienced job-loss, or major illnes) to declare bankruptcy!!! It seems vaguely reminiscent of the "Trickle-down-economics" of the Reagan era... The only "Trickle-Down" that I SEE, is that of "Being pissed-on"!!!! Ford Motor Company, and General Motors have now had their stock "devalued" to "junk-status"; Meanwhile, the "puppet-king" (Bush) continues to espouse the merits of "privatization" of Social Security funds., and claims that the economy is "making-progress"...... MAKING PROGRESS TOWARD FINANCIAL-RUIN!!! The estimated cost of the war in Iraq is now ONE BILLION DOLLARS PER WEEK!! The incompetance, and corruption of these "war-profiteers" is staggering!! They are building FOURTEEN military bases in Iraq. They are building the LARGEST embassy on earth, IN IRAQ!!..... all the while, "re-aligning" the military facilities in America!! (Read: sell-off prime real-estate to corporate contributors, and reward such contractors as Halliburton).... The "Rich" get richer, and everyone else "GETS SCREWED!!!"...........Dave

The people of California are FINALLY getting tired of "AHnold". Recent polls have shown a 25% drop in his approval-rating. Could it be, that they now know what I have been proclaiming for years??? That Schwartzenegger was "installed" as governor of California by Republican operatives... That the "energy-crisis" and resultant economic woes of California were a pre-meditated plan by ENRON , to plunder and blame Gray Davis?? Audio-tapes of Enron "energy-traders" have surfaced, which PROVE their conspiracy to create the infamous "rolling-blackouts". Must I remind you, that Ken Lay and ENRON were "Dubyuh's" LARGEST campaign contributors??? That Ken Lay has a long history of 'Shmoozing" with the Bush dynasty??? Governor Davis WAS NOT responsible for the economic chaos which elected "Ahnold". It was a carefully manipulated plan by "Neo-Cons" to discredit the Democrat Governor, and strenghten their stranglehold on a two-party democracy..... Dave
Recent debates have emerged about the need to have some form of a "National I.D."....While I too strongly support "Civil-liberties" and the "Right-To-Privacy", I cannot help but feel that such an "I.D." is greatly overdue. We now rely on various systems of documents and agencies... We carry "Social-Security-cards", "Passports", "Driver's Licenses", " Student-I.D.s", "work-I.D.s", "library-Cards", and a myriad of "Forms-of-Identification"; NONE OF WHICH are linked to a common data-base, or agency. Recent outbreaks of "identity-theft", the need for stricter "National-Security", and the need to manage the millions of "Un-documented workers"and emmigrants in to America have loudly illustrated the need for a systemic-overhaul. A "National I.D." could include a "retinal-scan", a few fingerprints, along with "vital-statistics"; it could even include things like medical information (allergies, meds., organ-donor-status, etc.) An "E.M.T.", at a an accident scene could instantly (by retinal-scan) access someone's entire medical data-base. Airline security could be tightened, and expeditied. Identity-theft could be thwarted. A "one-time" inconvenience could eliminate billions of dollars of bureaucratic redundancy. The threat of "Big-Brother" is a valid concern; but too-often, the current "system" protects only-those who "Have something to hide". Such a "National-I.D." could include various legal-safeguards to deter it's exploitation . We have the technology, and the infrastructure to enact such an I.D.; the thoughtful and appropriate application of such an I.D. is long overdue..........Dave

A few days ago, Dubyuh-Dumbass held a "Press-Conference". He attempted to "spontaneously" respond to questions, which he had probably pre-screened from reporters which he had "hand-selected". His responses vividly illustrated his incompetance and total lack of insight into serious, administrative matters. When asked about a certain court-case; he declined to answer... claiming that it was a matter "for lawyers". When asked about the economy, He also declined to answer; claiming that he "is not an economist"...... Didn't he graduate fro the Harvard School of Business?? with an M.B.A. in "business"??? Anyone who holds such a degree, would SURELY have had to take several years of "Economics" classes... (Unless, that is, he attended more "Frat-parties" than classes).. He also made statements to persuade listeners to support his ill-advised "Privatization" of Social Security.... (read: "divert Social Security money to Wall Street "robber-barons")... In these poorly-supported arguments, he stated that the survivor/ spouses of those who die before they reach retirement-age " will not receive the Social Security benefits from their deceased-spouse"..... THIS IS A TOTAL LIE!!!!.. He either is "clueless" about the functions of the system, or he is FLAGRANTLY LYING!!! Millions of spouses and dependant children have, and will receive payments from their deceased spouse or parent!! (Unless Bush gets his hands on the funds!!) Powerful lobbyists have spent millions to "grease-the-wheels" of Washington; these lobbyists represent the "Wall-Street" interests that brought us ENRON, WORLDCOM, TYCO, and countless others who have pillaged the 401K funds, and investment-portfolios of "average Americans". When a crime has been committed, it is always best to follow the "money-trail'. The "private" investment accounts , as proposed by the Neo-Cons, are an attempt to pilfer and destroy a social-safety-net which has functioned well for 50 years!! Bush and his "cronies" have already borrowed-against the Social-Security reserve; making it nearly insolvent; to pay for his "colonial-crusade" in Iraq. Now, rather than address the "solvency" of Social Security, he wants to further weaken it and divert money to his corrupt, corporate thieves!!! ALL economic prognosticators have stated that their is NO "imminent crisis" in our Social Security system!! So this begs-the-question: "Why "???? It is a common Republican-tactic of "avoidance"... whenever "issues" cannot be addressed; they create a "crisis", a "red-herring" (remember "GOD, GUNS & GAYS"?????) One CANNOT listen to a radio station, or watch television without being reminded to "be prepared"... "America is the target".... America is NOT the "target".....CORPORATE AMERICA, AND THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ARE THE TARGET!!! Al Queda didn't attack Disneyland, they attacked Wall Street!! They didn't attack Deming New Mexico; they attacked the Pentagon!!!...They attack the "seats-of-power"; the controlling leaders of a failed, arrogant foreign-policy that goes back decades. Few Americans know that Norman Schwartzkopf and the C.I.A. were responsible for the overthrow of the duly-elected president of Iran, and the subsequent installation of the Shah..... a strategy which caused the "Iranian-Hostage-Crisis"!!!!! America's un-questioning support of Israel and it's territorial land-grab has arroused years of hatred by Muslims. We always hear about the Hammas "terrorists", who killed Israelis; yet The Israeli military KILLS TEN TIMES MORE PALESTINIANS!!! Today, North Korea announced a new missle, which can carry a "nuk-yuh-lur" warhead. All of the "media" is frantic., yet no-one has reminded us that the ONLY nuclear-power which has waged an illegal invasion of another country IS AMERICA!!!!...GOT FEAR????? Bush/Cheney gladly attach themselves to "anti-abortion" movements; Yet it is little-known that when the economy is depressed, ABORTION RATES INCREASE!!! Bush's ineffective administration of our economy HAS ACTUALLY INCREASED THE NUMBER OF ABORTIONS PERFORMED IN AMERICA!! People who have NO access to birth-control, have NO access to pre-natal care, and cannot AFFORD CHILDREN, often times resort to abortion!! This "Born-Again Christian" president has IGNORED the most important tenents of Christianity. "Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me", "Thou shall not kill", "Thou shall have no other gods before me", "Thou shall not bear false witness", etc. The hypocrisy of the "Religious-Right" is FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG! The actions of the "Moral-Majority" have been the MOST non-Christian and morally-reprehensible in recent memory. Bush continues to cut funding to "Community-based-policing", to schools, to libraries, to mental-health facilities, to drug-treatment centers, to environmental improvement, to highways, and HUNDREDS of other badly-needed things.; while giving tax-cuts to the RICHEST 2% of Americans, and using "political-pork" to "grease-the-wheels" of his corporate contributors!! THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW!!!!!
