9/11 & Bush's 'Negligence'
 by Robert Parry as seen on  Consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
In the government's pursuit of the death penalty for Moussaoui, FBI officials have inadvertently revealed
how an even mildly competent Bush could have prevented the 9-11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people
- and set the country on a dangerous course for revenge.

A... big part of the problem was the lack of urgency at the top. Bush, who had been President for half a year,
was taking a month-long vacation at his ranch and shrugged off the growing alarm within our intelligence community.

Bush's role was crucial. As President, he was the best-positioned official to force the various parts of the government
to undertake a top-down review of what was known, what evidence was being missed, what could be done.

Counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke said Clinton reacted to such threats with urgent top-level meetings to
"shake the trees" at the FBI, CIA, Customs and other relevant agencies.  Clarke said senior managers would
respond by going back to their agencies to demand a search for any overlooked information and to put rank-and-file
personnel on high alert, as happened when an al-Qaeda plot to bomb Millennium celebrations was thwarted in 1999.
 
 

One thing is certain: Bush is no Clinton.
Clinton sought to prevent attacks, Bush sought to profit from them after we buried the dead.

Bush: I Don't Have to Obey the Law
 No need for him to obey his own Patriot Act

 Link

 Excerpt:
When Bush signed the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act this month, he included an addendum
saying that he did not feel obliged to obey requirements that he inform Congress about how the FBI
was using the act's expanded police powers.

The bill contained several oversight provisions intended to make sure the FBI did not abuse the special
terrorism-related powers to search homes and secretly seize papers. The provisions require Justice
Department officials to keep closer track of how often the FBI uses the new powers and in what type
of situations. Under the law, the administration would have to provide the information to Congress by certain dates.

Bush signed the bill with fanfare March 9, calling it "a piece of legislation that's vital to win the war on terror
and to protect the American people." But after the reporters and guests had left, the White House quietly
issued a "signing statement," that said that Nush did not consider himself bound to tell Congress how
the Patriot Act powers were being used
 

We need to impeach this bastard.
Where can we find a Republican who respects the rule of law?

Subject: Hillary

so let me get this straight - when you criticize previous candidates for not fighting hard enough,  that's constructive 
criticism, but when someone else criticizes hillary (or clark, or at one time kerry) for not being left enough, 
pro-choice enough, anti-war enough you wonder why they'd want to "hurt the obvious front-runner"?!?!

I'm going to vote for the Democratic nominee. Anyone else who says that has my blessing.
People who look forward to throwing their vote away on a candidate who won't get three
percent of the vote must want more of the hell we're in now.
 

just because your life fared better under the clintons doesn't mean everything they touch turns to gold. 
there were millions of newly created poor in this country and throughout mexico, and central america who 
think clinton is just the 42nd american president trading dark people's livelihoods for multinational corporations profits. 
and the better those of us here in the bully of the beast fared under clinton, and the more his loyalists had to defend him 
from those GOP blow job police, the more he was able to pass nafta and the like.

i get trying to keep her momentum going, but you can do that through criticism. and the more hillary gets, the better, 
its the only way she's going to hear what 'the people' are needing. otherwise the only criticism she's going to hear is 
going to be coming from religious groups, and business groups and they'll pretend they speak the  people's words. 
and without anybody telling hillary otherwise, she'll probably believe them - why else would we actually consider 
that in 2006 to 'play it safe' the liberal would have to be warm to banning certain abortions, not be 'too' anti-war?

i've enjoyed reading your site for years but i just don't get this blanket apology/free pass you are giving to hillary
- she's DLC for christ sakes. her interests appear to be business interests - not yours.

Of course, the right-wing bastards will deny the facts like they deny all science,

Mehlman To Call For Mehlman's Resignation?

 Link

 Excerpt:
In light of his recently-revealed connection to the New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal, here's a fun memo
from Ken Mehlman from August 2005 talking about how it is "vitally important that our election system be free
from fraud and intimidation." The RNC Chairman was responding to an American Center for Voting Rights report
on voter fraud in the 2004 presidential election. Mehlman waxed particularly sanctimonious when noting the RNC's
"zero-tolerance policy" for voter fraud, intimidation and suppression.

"The position of the Republican National Committee is simple: we will not tolerate fraud; we will not tolerate
intimidation; we will not tolerate suppression. No employee, associate, or any person representing the
Republican party who engages in these kinds of acts will remain in that position."

That letter, dated August 9, 2005, was sent just two days before the RNC admitted they were paying for
James Tobin's legal defense. Note that Tracey Schmitt, the RNC media contact on the anti-voter
suppression memo, was also the one quoted by AP defending the RNC's support for Tobin.

Russ Never Sleeps

 Link

 Excerpt:
"The fear factor inside the Democratic Party is appalling," he added. "You've got these small-minded
Democratic-consultant-driven political leaders, and then you've got real neocons who refuse to listen
to the base of the party...You have these voices of unbridled ambition - Hillary Clinton first among them
- who are asking the base to nominate them, when they're not even listening to the base when it comes to
the most important issue in American politics today."   Look at the 2004 convention in Boston, Michael said:
"Ninety percent of the people in that nominating hall wanted to end this war, and they wound up voting in
a ticket where both candidates voted for it - and said they still supported it.'"
 
 

Correction to his Hillary frothing - Hillary has not asked anyone to nominate her.
    We assume she's running, but she's not going to mention it until 2007.

I want unbridled ambition in a Demo candidate. Without it, we're stuck with candidates
    who don't mind losing and aren't we all damn tired of that?

I want to end this war, but I doubt 90% of Democrats do, even today.

It might not be a great article, or even a decent one, but I loved the title.

Specter: Bush is 'just plain wrong'
 ABC News is a Mickey Mouse company in bed with America's biggest criminals

 Link

 Excerpt:
Senator Arlen Specter, A vocal Republican critic of  Bush's secret spying program will preside over
Senate efforts to make Bush's illegal spying legal, but he was pessimistic that Bush wanted to listen.

"They want to do just as they please, for as long as they can get away with it," he said said.
"I think what is going on now without congressional intervention or judicial intervention is just plain wrong."

Specter was one of the first Republicans to publicly question Bush's authority to monitor international
calls when one party is inside the United States without first getting court approval. The NSA has
been conducting the surveillance when calls and e-mails are thought to involve al-Qaida.
 

Objection!
That bold print is what the lying government claims they are doing.
Why is ABC News printing Bush claims as tho they are proven facts?

Because they are whores who are doing all they can to help Bush hide the truth from Americans.

I'm so old, I remember when the press wasn't a partner in government crimes.
I'm so old, I remember when the press refused to ignore alledged presidential affairs.

Now they're complicit in real crimes that involve wars, murders and the rape of the Constitution.

9-11 Conspiracies are Wrong
  by Houston Wade

 Link

 Excerpt:
Prolonged heat will cause recrystallization of steel and make it weaker.  The flames from the jet fuel and other materials
that caught fire inside the World Trade Centers did not have to reach temperatures to where the steel would melt;
instead they only had to heat the steel to a point of creep, about 1000°C.  This was easy to do because contrary to
what Loose Change and many conspiracy sights out there suggest the adiabatic flame temperature of the kerosene
fuel Jet-A is 1727°C, not 800°C.  As you can see here  Jet-A gets hot.

According to my Pocket Ref the highest melting point any type of steel can achieve is 1,505°C  and lowest
melting point for any type of steel is 1,388°C.  Jet-A easily overcomes these temperature barriers.

I told you; long before the war began, that before we were through with the Iraqis they'd 
be begging for Saddam to return. The latest poll out of the "cradle of civilization" shows

So much for the "Mission Accomplished," eh? 

Trouble is there is no end in sight, at least not for the Junta. Von Rumsfeld, Dead-eye Dick, Kindasleezy 
and Smirky have all crawled out from under their rocks to beat up a little support for the current and the 
new oil wars to come. Before we can conquer the world we have to control all the energy that we can,

Subject: Is this victory?

Sometimes it's easier to tell what isn't a victory than what is a victory.
The current government of Afghanistan has a constitution that says
anyone converting from Islam to Christianity is to be put to death.
That my friends is NOT a victory.

Bush says that he is deeply troubled that Christians can be executed for their faith.
I was expecting Bush to be outraged rather than just troubled because after all,
he is a Christian, isn't he?

Good point.
Pat Tilman and others died in Afghanistan - so they could execute Christians?

The Hillary Juggernaut
 Why she might already be unstoppable

 Link
 

[Opponents] will face in Hillary the most formidable presidential front-runner in modern political history.
(And, yes, I am counting George W. Bush in 2000.) Here are 10 reasons why she will be a daunting foe:

1) Universal name recognition.

2) Her capacity to raise $100 million like that. (snaps fingers)

3) The ability to dominate the free media, tracked by 100 reporters.

4) Her emotional support from a significant percentage of women voters out to make history.

5) Nostalgia for Bill Clinton's peace and prosperity.

6) Continuing Democratic resentment over impeachment. (That's hueueueuge.)

7) Hillary's over-cautious political style that avoids risk and mistakes.

8) The most potent candidate surrogate in political history - her husband.

9) The ability of the Clinton name and legacy to attract minority voters.

10) At least a half-dozen candidates who will divide the anti-Hillary Democrats.
      She could win major primaries with 35 percent of the vote.
 

Hmmmm, ...I was just thinking of how poorly I've set this up.
When she wins, dozens of people will hate me for being right.

...have I mentioned lately what a great guy Russ Feingold is?
 

Hillary is so fake - I hate her.

Subject: More magazine

So, because there are "older women" that have magazines geared towards their interests,
that means there is no credibility?  That means that every "older" woman should like Hillary Clinton?

To whom are your angry questions addressed?
Who said More Magazine had no credibility?
Who said every "older" woman should be like Hillary?
 

What a narrow minded perspective you have on this.

Who is narrow minded, and why would you make that charge?
 

You never heard of More Magazine because it was geared to "older women".

That's your first factual statement.
Why would you expect Ol' Bart to have heard of More Magazine?
Have they been in business a long time?  Have they made the news before?
Are men expected to read a magazine for older women?

Confession: I've never heard of Working Mother magazine, either.
I've never heard of Disgruntled Housewife or Moondance, either, so I guess I'm a bad man.
 

Well, maybe you should gear your observations towards "older women"
and learn a few things about a legitimate outlook on politics and the outcome
of voting with you visual observations and not your brain.....if you have one.
 Scooter
 

Oh, now I'm starting to understand.

You don't like Hillary.
As of today, I think she has the best chance of winning in 2008, so I have no brain.
My political opinions aren't "legitimate" because you disagree with them.

Like most people who shudder at the thought of Hillary taking our country back from Bush,
you have failed to mention a possible alternative to Hillary and I think I know why.

The reason people are afraid to mention another candidate is because right now
whoever is Number Two is so far back, they can't even be seen in the rear view mirror.
Anyone you name is going to invite laughter - and I apologize for that.

Lastly, if your logic says insulting me is your best option, I say go for it.
I mean, why use reason and manners and common sense when you have insults?

Note: They couldn't draw a nastier look on Hillary's face?

 Excerpt:
Hillary's newfound centrism isn't completely insincere. Her bellicose interventionism has a history: 
it was Hillary who berated her husband for not bombing Belgrade soon enough and hard enough. 
As Gail Sheehy relates in Hillary's Choice:

Hillary expressed her views by phone to the President: 'I urged him to bomb.' The Clintons argued 
the issue over the next few days. [The president expressed] what-ifs: What if bombing promoted 
more executions? What if it took apart the NATO alliance? Hillary responded, 'You cannot let this 
go on at the end of a century that has seen the major holocaust of our time. What do we have NATO 
for if not to defend our way of life?' The next day the President declared that force was necessary.

Love the site!

Van, thanks for that, but that's a right-wing rag quoting a whore named Gail Sheedy.

Sheedy recalls what Hillary told Bill on the phone? 
Unless Bill or Hillary repeated the conversation to the Sheedy whore (not even implied)
it means Sheedy is either a mind reader or a just another Beltway whore fabricating quotes.

Besides Sheedy being a mind reader, the author can see into the future!

Hillary would have occupied Iraq a decade earlier, riding into Baghdad at the head of her troops 
like Pallas Athena descending on the Trojans, striding boldly into what Gen. William E. Odom 
has described as "the greatest strategic disaster in our history."

How about that!
Hillary is going to be guilty of  "the greatest strategic disaster in our history."

"99 Luftballons" is a Cold-War era protest song that tells the story of 99 red balloons floating

Subject: V for Vendetta

Greetings Bart!

Have you seen V for Vendetta?  I saw it last night and was surprised at how sophisticated it was
and how damning of the government and fascism.  It's like a combination of Fight Club, Batman Begins
and the Matrix (but is better in some ways than all three!)

It takes place in slightly futuristic Britain but has many familiar themes to us - constant surveillance of the population,
a 9-11 style attack used by the warmongers to seize power, curfews, martial law.  Gays are being rounded up and
thrown into gitmo-style detainment camps.  Religious fundamentalism is being used as propaganda to manipulate the
population.  There is even a British Rush Limbaugh character who is secretly addicted to over-the-counter meds!

ha ha

"V" is Hugo Weaving and the femme Natalie Portman.  There is a hardcore scene where Portman's character
confronts her fear of death and emerges stronger for it which speaks volumes about the controlling power of fear.

I'm sure everyone in the theatre went home and had the same conversation we did - about the tactics of fear,
the slide into fascism at home and what we can do about it.   It's quite a conversation starter and brings up
questions about when treason and sedition are necessary.

Maybe you could see it and write a review?  I thought your analysis of "War of the Worlds" captured the
essence of that movie perfectly!  I'd really enjoy reading your analysis of this one.

Keep swinging the hammer!
All the best,

Rush (No, not that one)

Prayer and Healing
 Researchers look for a connection

 Link

 Excerpt:
At the Fairfax Community Church in Virginia, the faithful regularly pray for ailing strangers...
(if they're white, straight and voted for Der Monkey) The outpouring of spiritual healing has inspired
a small group of researchers to attempt to use the tools of modern science to test the power of prayer
to cure others. The results have been mixed and highly controversial.
 

ha ha
Yes, "mixed" in that some people were cured by God's intervention
and some who God didn't like enough to bother saving, I suppose.

As long as they're not using my money, I don't care if they try to connect healing with unicorns.
But look for these good Christians to lie about the results - what choice to they have?

They're either going to prove that God doesn't listen to prayers, (bad for business),   or
They're going to prove prayers work, and Oh I hope they're willing to bet on that.
 

You crazies at Fairfax Community Church in Virginia?  Leave this one alone - you can't win.
