Surveillance Society
   by Robert Parry as seen on  consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
One of the most neglected but important questions about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks is whether
they were, in effect, a sucker punch from a marginal group of extremists who succeeded because a new
American administration let its guard down.

If that is the case, then the massive retaliation launched by the United States, which has gone far beyond
attacking al-Qaeda's bases in Afghanistan, may be viewed as a dangerous - and possibly counter-productive
- overreaction, a classic example of playing into an enemy's hands.

The Bush administration's response to the Sept. 11 attacks has included invading another Muslim country,
Iraq, which had little or no connection to al-Qaeda; tolerating abuse of detainees in secret prisons to the
detriment of America's image around the world; and restricting civil liberties at home.

A Titanic Mistake Swindle
 Bush rapes Treasury for the 100th Time

 Link

 Excerpt:
FEMA gave Titan more than a half million dollars in new Katrina contracts. 
Here are the top five reasons this was a very bad idea:

TORTURE: Titan is under two different federal investigations for its role in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. 
The Taguba report - the official government report into the prison abuse — found a Titan employee 
committed "indecent acts" and was involved in "cruelty and maltreatment" of Iraqi prisoners. 

NEGLIGENCE: Titan bilked the U.S. government out of millions of dollars by sending hundreds of unqualified
interpreters to Iraq. On top of that, Pentagon auditors recommended withholding $4.9 million from Titan's Iraq
translator contract due to questionable billing practices.

ESPIONAGE: Another Titan employee working at the prison in Guantanamo Bay was sentenced 
to 20 months in prison for espionage against the United States. 

BRIBERY: In March 2003, Titan admitted guilt in an "international bribery scheme." The company had to pay 
$28,500 to the SEC for trying to influence the presidential election of the West African nation of Benin.

CHEATING: A federal inspector general report last year found Titan overcharged American taxpayers for a 
troop counseling contract. The company gave nearly all of the work to a subcontractor, yet added its own fee 
to each of the invoices. The report charged: "We believe that Titan's fee could represent largely unnecessary 
costs to the government." 
 

I believe this writer has missed the forest for the trees.
Titan must be a tentacle of the BFEE.and here's why:

Example One: A federal inspector general report last December concluded that taxpayers overpaid for 
a $229 million Titan military contract because the firm subcontracted substantially all of the work.   Link
Thats $229M was split between Titan and the BFEE.

That'd be like hiring Ol' Bart for $1,000,000 to do some plastic surgery on your wife.
All I can do is open a phone book and hire a plastic surgeon for, say, $300,000.
That way, the surgeon makes $300K, I make $700K and I kick back half to the BFEE.
There's no other reason to give a no-bid contract to a firm to hire someone else.

That's why they hired Halliburton to serve food in Iraq.
Halliburton is an oil field services company - they don't know a damn thing about food,
but they can hire a food company for half price and kick back the diff to Cheney & Smirk.

Example Two: The GSA inspector general last year issued an audit report that raised questions about 
Titan's $229 million contract to provide employee assistance and counseling to military families. 

The report concluded that Titan subcontracted nearly all of the work to a subcontractor called Ceridian. 
Nonetheless, Titan added its own fee to each contract invoice, the report found.  
"Titan's fee could represent largely unnecessary costs to the government," the report concluded.    Link

Duh, ya think?
 

The BFEE has been raping the Treasury for five years with scams like this, 
and I've been talking about it until I'm blue in the face, but who listens to the facts these days?

No-fucking-body, that's who, and that's a damn shame.

"The president's unilateral creation of commissions, his single-handed definition of the 
offenses and persons subject to their jurisdiction, and his promulgation of the rules of

that no man, or branch of government, could be so powerful."

Bush has always been a "screw the Constitution" kind of guy.

Random Thought...

I'm watching Der Monkey give a speech to some troops who were ordered to attend.
The latest pools say 59 percent of military families don't support his make-me-rich policies.

I'm wondering why none of these captive soldiers has the bravery to stand up during the speech and say, 
"That's a damned lie! We're dying in Iraq to raise the value of Halliburton stock, you bastard!"

What's the worst it could cost them?
A weekend in the brig?

Or (gasp) a life-saving discharge to get out of Bush's soldier-eating Iraqi quarmire?
Wait, Der Monkey just said, "The enemy does not follow the rules of warfare."
The rules of warfare say you can't use phosphorus bombs, but we're doing that.

I'll bet the rules of warfare say you can't blow up a crowded restaurant because your
flawed intellignce says Saddam or his kids might be there, but we did that, too.

The rules of warfare also say you can't torture captured soldiers, but Bush and Cheney
are asking for explicit permission from Congress to break those rules of warfare.

Why do these soldiers accept Bush's lies?

Bush: All-time Spend King
 Sheeeit, you read that here over a year ago

 Link

 Excerpt:
Bush has spent/stolen more money from foreign governments and banks than the previous
42 presidents combined, says the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of moderate Democrats.

According to the Treasury, from 1776-2000,  42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion
from foreign governments and financial institutions. Bush has borrowed $1.05 trillion. Earlier this year,
the Blue Dog Coalition unveiled a 12-step plan to "cure" the nation's "addiction to deficit spending." .
 

I have a 1-step plan to fix that - we impeach the bastard.

BBC NEWS Americas Jewish extremist killed in jail

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4411408.stm

Almost daily, I've been reading Bartcop for about three years now.

DO NOTICE, if this guy featured in the above hyper had been a Muslim -- or even an Irish Catholic
-- who conspired to blow up the Crystal Cathedral or some Anglican church in the British Isles,
he'd be ranked right up there with bin Ladin or Moussoui. BUT NO, he's just a "Jewish (aka Zionist) extremist."

Who called him that?
Certainly not me - I haven't even read that story, don't care to read that story - why would I?
Besides, I try to avoid religious insanity.
 

But will Bart ever discuss or lament this fact of POLITICS along with his rather formula-censored tirades against
(un)popular Christianity which has a stranglehold on Washington D.C.? the very fact that this double-standard!
is so "religiously" maintained by America's MSM (and yes, even Bartcop) confirms volumes about how endemic
is America's own culture of religious and racial bigotry.

ha ha
Bartcop is the mainstream media now, is that what you're saying?
That's very nice of you, but really, you flatter me too much.
CBS gets a million dollars for 30-seconds, I get $50 for 2 days.
 

Are you a religious bigot, Bartcop?

Sure, in that I pre-judge religion to be for the weak and the scared.
And when I run for president, you can quote me.
 

Or will you finally admit that it's the religiously bigoted of WASHINGTON who are feeding hundreds-of-billions
(upfront AND under the table) of taxpayer dollars to Zionland instead of taking care of America's own FIRST?

I've always said we give too much money to Israel.
That's why I said it'd be cheaper to move Israel to Oklahoma than pay $6B a year renting "sacred sand."
It's safer here, it's cheaper here and we wouldn't have a war and Bush's ex-partners blowing up New York.
Funny - you're trying to "trap me" into saying stuff that's on a hundred back pages.
 

Whether Congress surrenders the money because they're Apocalyptic believers, or just because AIPAC
"showed them the money" is besides the point. One things for sure, AIPAC doesn't discriminate,
It's BOUGHT OUT both sides of the isle!

I'll take your word for that - I have no idea what the AIPAC is because I have no dog in that race..
Perhaps you've mistaken me for someone who gives a fuck?
 

Even more than getting "cheaper" oil (for which we ain't), CHRISTIAN ZIONISM is a central neo-con focus
of America's terrifying cultural war against Islam. Furthermore, MUSLIMS DID NOT START IT! It actually
"started" way back at the beginning of the 20th century ...........

<snipped so much I had to buy new scissors>

ha ha
How many more hundreds of chapters does this never-ending story have?
I ain't got the time.
 

Tell me Bart, is the main reason you avoid talking about Zionism as America's undeclared terror-war's
principle sponsor really just because you don't want to "get into that religious pissing match?"

There's too many nutjobs - people like yourself - involved in this crap.
This subject turns sane people crazy.
I'm old, I've seen it happen dozens of times.
 

Or is it more likely because it would guarantee that your major financial "sponsors" (whom you really
can't do without) would summarily pull out all their financing if you revealed to your audience the
"tasteless truth" of their war-crimes hoodwinking?

ha ha
I have sponsors?
Could you tell them my check is late?
ha ha

Let's get a chant going,
"Send bart his check, send Bart his check!"

OK, now just the girls...
"Send bart his check, send Bart his check!"

Now just the dudes...
"Send bart his check, send Bart his check!"

Now just the straight people...
"Send bart his check, send Bart his check!"

Lewis, you weren't chanting that time...

ha ha

Are my sponsors Jewish?
Marc Perkle's not Jewish, is he?

Also, why is it that you casually paint ALL of Islam and most of generic Christianity with the
broad-brushed color of (stupidity and) "terrorism" but you won't even go near the more
encompassing terrorists (e.g., above hyperlink) of Zionism?

...because ...I forgive the Mossad for 9-11?

ha ha

Sorry, that was mean.
 

Dude, if you knew anything about me you'd know I have an IQ of 64, and STILL
I'm smart enough to avoid stepping in the let's-kill-each-other madness that is religious insanity.

They're all crazy, except Perkel - he's just half crazy.
Heck, even you, without the religious insanity, might be a half-normal guy.

I see on your fundraising page that your internet connection costs are $750 a month
which is terrible because your site doesn't get that many hits.

You should sign up with Perkel's ISP service - wait - isn't he a Zionist?
No, he's the Pope of Reality!

spike your lil' counter there, but if you want some publicity, there are classier ways than telling

Bush: torture is the American way

 Link

 Excerpt:
"Only" nine senators voted against the prohibition of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
of persons under custody or control the United States." Nine out of 100. Should we be proud? Should we cry?

"We do not torture," said our pitifully inarticulate president, straining through emphasis and repetition to erase the obvious.

A string of prisons in Eastern Europe in which suspects are held and tortured indefinitely, without trial, without lawyers,
without the right to confront their accusers, without knowing the evidence or the charges against them, if any. Forever.
It's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." Another secret prison in the midst of a military camp on an island run by
an infamous dictator. Prisoner without a name, cell without a number.

Who are we? What have we become?

"Sometimes you gotta play rough," said Dick Cheney.
No shit, Dick?
Now why don't you tell that to John McCain?
 

Jimmy the lawyer
 

Jimmy, why would an intelligent, successful lawyer say something so crazy?
Just to see your name in print on the internets' 38,000th most popular page?

"Torture" isn't "torture."  Are you color-blind to all shades of gray?
Bush tortures for fun and profit and because he can.
I am McCain's 1-in-a-million - you know that - so why give me Tommy Dimwit?

Trust me, if some scumbag had Molly Ivin's grandchild buried underground, low on oxygen,
Molly would turn into a grizzly bear and tear that bastard limb from limb - anybody would.

People who say they wouldn't are lying to themselves.

Subject: white phosphorus

While speaking/spinning on on Democracy Now! Lt Col Steven Boylan said that
the white phosporous (WP) was used in Falluja for illumination and obscuration.
How times have changed since the old days when I served.

Instead of spreading WP haphazardly all over a city and its population we had
something called illumination rounds.  It was WP but had a parachute to provide
overhead illumination and nearly always burned out before reaching the ground.

When we wanted obscuration we used non-toxic smoke instead  of a WP death cloud.

How the NeoCons - and the Dems - sunk the Ship of State 

 Link

 Excerpt:
As bad as things seem now, it can get worse. This is the conclusion one comes to after reading 
E.J. Dionne's commentary in last Monday's edition of the Washington Post.

Dionne urged Democrats to find a vision. Perhaps Dionne simply should paint Senator Kerry as the 
Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz and sing 'If Kerry only had a brain.' The fact is, the visionary and 
moral leadership offered by such stalwarts of the DNC remain the best hopes of people like Karl Rove. 
There isn't a vacant deck chair on the "D.N.C. Titanic" during this Democrat cruise.

Whatever happened to the refrain, "Bush stole the election"? Several days ago John Kerry made a 
hasty retreat from what he had once openly stated to Mark Crispin Miller, (author of "Fooled Again") 
that Bush had in fact stolen the 04 elections. The silence is deafening. No one has uttered a peep about
vacancy in John Kerry's trousers these days. This is the man who wanted to be President? The NeoCons 
in the White House must rejoice daily that Providence has provided them with the current Democratic leadership.

I used to shop at WalMart and I used to be a WalMart stockholder back when WalMart bragged 
about their products being made in America. Now I'm living in California where WalMart has given 
Governor Schwarzenegger over a million dollars to promote his special election reforms. 

WalMart is now the third largest trading partner with Communist China and I'm not comfortable with 
communist money being pumped into our local elections. So I'm going to vote against WalMart in the 
elections on Tuesday because I really don't think WalMart has the best interests of the people in mind.

Gee, Bart,

Wasn't it in Episode 1523 or 1428 or 1354 or somewhere that you got embroiled in a long series of 
arguments/discussions on using torture to find out when and where that nuke was and how it was justified then? 

So how can you criticize your government for wanting to use torture to find out where those non-existent nukes are? 
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself.

Jean, is it wrong to shoot a cop?
Yes, in 99.99 percent of the cases.

Is it wrong to shoot a cop who's shooting a child per second?  
No, but the crazies want to paint me as "Mr Cop Killer," for saving those children.

Why do we have to go over the same ground 100 times?

Forty something years ago, the nuns explained that a "No Swimming" sign doesn't apply if your friend 
who can't swim has falllen into the lake.  I was a kid then, and I understood what they meant.

Am I that ineffective as a communicator that nobody has a clue what I'm saying?

If a couple of people would write and say, "We get it," maybe we could drop this.

Hey Bart!
You got an email that said:

 The other 34 percent think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to Church."

I'm not sure if they are using Intelligent Design in whatever classroom this guy was taught in, 
but where I come from, 64 + 34 = 98, not 100.  What about the other two percent?  
Were they unable to respond due to national security reasons?

Dude, two percent have no opinion about the sun being bright.
 

Plus:
Right after that, you show this picture:

 
It looks to me like there were 51 Yeas and 48 Nays (was the other senator being 
Guckerted at the time?).  So how come the vote shows as rejected?

Steno Jude's Last Take
 Judith Miller's main problem

  Link

 Excerpt:
Adam Clymer recalls an episode during the 1988 presidential campaign, when Miller was deputy Washington 
bureau chief. Then the political editor based in New York, Clymer got a call from Miller. She was demanding 
that a story about Dukakis be pulled from the paper. The story was too soft, she complained -- and said Lee Atwater, 
the political strategist for Bush the Smarter, believed it was soft as well. Clymer said he was stunned to realize that 
Atwater had been told about it before publication. He and Miller argued and he ultimately hung up on her, twice. 
To Clymer, it was an indication of Miller's main problem. "She had gotten too close to her sources," he says."
 

So why would the New York Whore Times have Atwater's operative writing "objective" news stories for them?

Whoops, I think I answered my own question.
It's the Whore Times.
