If it were not a given that Bush’s handlers would rush him down to Virginia Tech as soon as the political opportunity arose, one could ask if it were appropriate that he, or any other politician, be there at all. The blood had not even dried on the walls and there he was. No way was the White House going to let the first few days be a time for Virginia Tech to look inward for friend to friend support and some self reflection.

It gets worse. Bush is a man with personality disorders; not unlike a good many of the people around him and who voted for him. His are just …out there. The one on display yesterday was his abundance of sadism. Get’s a truckload from his mom. A bit more than 24 hours after the murders, he stands before traumatized youth and brings up images of what happened. “Students woke up, and they grabbed their backpacks and they headed for class. And soon the day took a dark turn, with students and faculty barricading themselves in classrooms and dormitories -- confused, terrified, and deeply worried. …It's impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering. Those whose lives were taken did nothing to deserve their fate. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now they're gone -- and they leave behind grieving families, and grieving classmates, and a grieving nation. “

He probably did not write all these “condolences", but the sadism reflected in the words uttered is pure Bush. Those who conspired with him saw another opportunity to spread fear among the weak and uncritical among us. Bush adds his own twist. These are awful people.

If Silvio Berlusconi gave Bush the Niger documents in October 2001, Bush had to be ecstatic. They still had to be vetted though. The CIA trashed them and Cheney asked the guy at the beginning of the whole thing to convene a meeting with the intent to legitimize them. That guy was Michael Ledeen--Iran Contra bagman, fluent speaker of Italian, close associate of fascist elements in SISMI and the Italian defense ministry.

Ledeen, who I knew well at Washington University in the 70's wrote creepy biographies of Italian fascist of the 1920's. Ledeen is close to the Likudniks, Harold Rhode, Doug Feith and the convicted spies within the Department of Defense.

Wilson was sent to Niger by the CIA to validate that the documents were bogus--not investigate their veracity. These documents were created well before 9/11. Why.

This is where it gets really ugly for politicians who inductively follow the etiology of the forgeries. It involves the right wing in Israel and their belief that the best way to get to Iran (the enemy) was through Baghdad. Ledeen, Rhodes, et. al are close to the Likud right wing.

Congress should haul in Ledeen first, then the others including Berlusconi, Pollari, Martine as well as convicted felons: Weisman and Rosen.

This cabal goes way back into the 1990's and it involves treason.

Now, with Lewis “Scooter” Libby convicted of perjury, obstruction and lying to federal investigators, the origins of the U.S. attack on Iraq is finally getting a bit of play in the dunces’ news outlets—the networks. The cloud over the office of the vice President that Fitzgerald referred to in his trial summation is: making public the name of a covert intelligence agent (illegal if Cheney did it, and he did) and the outright lying to the American public on the evidence that ginned up frenzy for an attack on Iraq.

The why of all this hideous history is on the mind of at least several million of the American citizenry. So why is the Congress dodging the questions? Not all are stained from the black dye that was the vote to allow attack under low barrier conditions. (You’re not going to get any noise out of Hillary Clinton.) But, why have not hearings started on the matter? Perhaps, this conviction of Libby will embolden those who can convene the hearings.

There is a good short article on Libby, Cheney and the Niger “affair” by David Lindorff in today’s Commondreams.org. Although, I among many, have followed the damaging actions of traitors like Michael Ledeen (Iran-Contra bagman), Harold Rhodes and felon Larry Franklin for years, the big question a hearing will zero in on is this: If Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi brought the forged Niger document s to the White House in October 2001 and they were trashed by the CIA, how come Bush used those 16 words in his 2003 State of the Union Address? Certainly, if these documents were the juice he needed to attack Iraq, he would have read them when Berlusconi gave them to him in October. HE KNEW THEY WERE PHONEY THEN.

Meanwhile, Cheney was working with his gang to give the forgeries real life. Hence, the meeting in Rome was convened in December, 2001 where Ledeen, Franklin, fascists in the Italian government et al. hatched plan re-routing the forgeries through Britain for legitimization. (What did Blair know ?)

Bush had to know that this was in process and had to silence CIA Director Tenent in order to use the Niger forgeries. They got to him. Cheney, who was the facilitator and nerve center of all this, got pissy after he read Joe Wilson's op-ed in the NY Times.

Bush knew everything all along. But first, the Congress must subpoena Ledeen, Rhodes, Libby, Franklin, Tenent and Cheney. They have got to do it soon before Libby is pardoned. He has to be squeezed by the congress in public.

Cabal

It is well known that the loudest noise promoting a U.S. attack on Iraq grew from a group of Likudniks at the American Enterprise Institute in the 1990’s. Led by Richard Perle, this group, which included: Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, his wife Meyrev Wurmser, Jonathan Torop, James Colbert, and Robert Lowenberg—authored the “infamous” paper “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.” The paper had four principal points: 1) the then Labor government had to be stopped from trading land for peace as was supported by the Clinton Administration; and Zionism re-established as the bedrock of Israeli policy 2) direct or proxy military confrontation with Syria in the effort t to roll back it regional influence—especially in Lebanon. 3) The removal of Saddam Hussein from power as part of an effort to further weaken Syria (and left unsaid, a pro Western Iraq regime that could mitigate Iranian regional influence. 4) Israel must free itself from dependence on United States Aid—economic and military- so it could freely pursue a Zionist agenda with regard to containing Palestinians. One of the authors of this manifesto, David Wurmser, authored a book in 1999 titled: Tyranny’s Ally: America’s Failure to Defeat Saddam Hussein (AEI Press—no less). In a nutshell, Wurmser argued that sanctions against Hussein were a failure and Hussein was amassing weapons of mass destruction. For this book, it seems Wurmser had extensive bull sessions with Michael Ledeen, well know Likudnik with fascist sympathies—and bagman during the Iran Contra affair, Perle, James Woolsey, Harold Rhodes, and Ahmed Chalabi. Douglas Feith was in the mix too.

These Likudniks and their Israeli crew boss, Benjamin Netanyahu, worked hard in the 1990’s to transform Israel from a country willing to negotiate with Palestinians and its neighbors to a garrison military state by 2000. Lethal and evil forces were about to converge in the Pentagon when the fratboy Texas governor was appointed president of the United States. From 1996 to 2000, David Wurmser seems to be the public mouthpiece for an attack on Iraq. Bush’s selection of Cheney to be veep opens the door for the likes of these guys to influence policy. With the appointment of Rumsfeld as defense secretary, the Likudniks are ensconced deep in the Pentagon.

Hussein was a dead man.

Republican leaders, and I assume with help from the White House, circulated “debate points” which yesterday ad nauseam spilled from congressional mouths like so many rotten teeth. No doubt the most repulsive “debate point” is the one that vomits out racist attacks on Muslims, or, psst….brown skinned Arabs. The debate term used was radical Islamists. Fittingly, Ii was the center point of the spew from the Republican Southern congressional delegation. Deep in the heart of the South racism took its ugly turn toward the next 150 years during Reconstruction. It played well on the disenfranchised and illiterate white man, who is not so much illiterate today as just plain ignorant of reasons he cannot get a piece of the American Dream. All of which brings me to this…

Barack Obama. The way I see it is that the spew from the mouths of these hideous men is paving the way for a direct assault on Barack Obama over the next year. If he is on the ticket and able to pull some of the middle class white vote away from the Republican nominee, the South might experience a sea change in the composition of its congressional delegation; and some of these hideous men will be out of a job. These guys remind me of the worst loudmouths I encountered at college fraternities: stupid and without any grace. Once gone, it will be very difficult to resurrect this type.

For now though, these guys are saying that if we don’t war now against the radical Islamists, they will attack us on our own soil. It will not be a big leap to overlay this racism on an Obama campaign for the presidency. Can you trust this man, Barack Hussein Obama?

The other debate points circulated were played out the last few years: not supporting the troops; we will be “staying the course” if we do not escalate the “war”; freedom and democracy for the Iraqis and al Qaeda will destabilize the region. Meanwhile, not one of them said that our troops are getting mauled by Saudi supported Sunnis.

I expect more of the sludge today.

Read the little stuff. Forget the convoluted health insurance scheme; it’ll never fly once folks realize it’s about taking another step toward cutting your employer loose from contributing to your healthcare. Don’t forget that this thug and his class came to power to loot the treasury and jettison taxes on the richest Americans. No lie; that was their goal. The dumb klutz the dumb klutzes elected was to be a diversion while industrial guys offloaded our jobs to slaves in China; investment bankers made money off our a huge national debt; and media barons consolidated the airways and became the house organ for the GOP. Forget the GOP Congress; to these interests, they were just a bunch of hicks who could be bought. True enough.

And forget the chatter about Iraq. We are getting out of there and congressional players like Hagel, Murtha, Biden and Levin are working closely with the generals Bush dissed to come up with a withdrawal plan. The Libby trial will help keep traitor Cheney in the news though. But, he had to be licking his lips when Bush mentioned strategic oil reserves.

The remainder of the speech was B.S. Doubling the oil reserves? The world is awash in oil; there ain’t no shortage—just OPEC and Exxon, RD, and Chevron. Since the Democratic Congress wants to cut huge subsidies to big oil, don’t worry, they will get the money anyhow: We will slurp all their surpluses with our tax dollars. Real cash, not crappy paper we sell the Party slave masters in China. Cool, big oil will get $billions directly from the treasury and create a short (or medium term) term shortage of the petrol at the pump. Bend over suckers.

The Real Stuff

When Bush finally got to immigration reform, he said he wanted to “give employers the tools to verify the legal status of their workers.” Hold on partner; how ya’ gonna do that without violating the Constitution’s prohibition of the state keeping tabs on all its citizens?

Remember the talk of a national identity card back in 2003 and 2004? The work behind the scenes continues even if the issue was besmirched then. Yes Virginia, there is an American version of the Stasse, KGB, Securitatae, being organized right now, and Bush wants you to know that. Money is flowing out of the government now to corporate sources like Choice Point to come up with ways for “readers” to pick up on data circuits embedded at birth. Everything about you, everything will be there for a fascist government to use. The technology is there and is cheap.

Put this together with Alberto Gonzales’s declaration that habeas corpus is not a right guaranteed by the Constitution and their ideology and designs come into focus: they want a totalitarian state for the benefit of big corporations.

No unions, no labor costs, no agitators, no freedom.

None Of our present problems are George Bush's fault. The cause of all
our problems from health care to Iraq are the fault of a rubber stamp
ordered by Vice President Cheney. He ordered that all documents
entering the Whitehouse had to be stamped with this particular rubber
stamp, for neo-conservative security purposes, before delivery to the
President.

The substance of the message embedded on the rubber stamp was
customized to keep Bush happy and pliable.

When the stamp was used to stamp a document the result was a bright red
ink warning that read "BURN BEFORE READING."

President Bush is, and always has been, allowed one book of matches a day.
