Save the USA

My position is this, Nobody (save the neo-Nazis) would support Bush & Co if they knew the truth. Nobody. If somehow we could get this information to the last remaining Bush supporters…

Have you heard Rep. Bernie Sanders talk- he’s great at calling out the oil companies, Bush cronies, etc…. he sounds great- but when it counts, he tucks tail just like the rest of them. Most of the “progressive” politicians in DC are nothing more than frauds.

Why am I so outraged? Because on Thom Hartmann’s Air America radio show, Bernie just said ~ ‘Kerry really won the election’.

This pissed me off, not because I disagree, but because he didn’t say this last year when it counted. I was watching the big January 6th election challenge last year, and I was angry when Conyers, the man “leading the election challenge”, gave his time to Bernie, who said:

I agree with John Kerry. I think George W. Bush won Ohio… What today is about is to demand that the Federal Government begin to move forward…

First off, why would Conyers give his time to someone that disagreed with the findings of his report? That makes no sense.

Regardless, let’s give Bernie the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he didn’t know about the fraud last year, but now he does… If that’s the case, then why isn’t he calling for Bush to be impeached for stealing the election? WTF? He stole it, but we’ll try again in 2008? What a crock.

Sanders is worse than Bush, because he’s one of the phony Democrats selling out America with their fake opposition to the Bush regime. Bernie now claiming that Kerry really won is just more posturing by this Poser.

“Freedom” in Bush’s America: Prison time for “disrupting major events including political conventions and the Olympics.”

From Section 602 of the new “Patriot” Act:

SEC. 602. INTERFERENCE WITH NATIONAL SPECIAL SECURITY EVENTS.

[disruptors] willfully and knowingly to enter or remain in any posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted area of a building… with intent to impede or disrupt…

To “impede or disrupt” a political convention is now a crime… Like during our 2004 State Democratic Convention, when the Kerry delegates went to count themselves in a seperate room, and I called them on it, calling for a recount because the rules were specific, delegates were to remain in same room. The Chair (DLC Ho) and a few minders shushed me and said, “the room is booked” so we have to leave now- after hours of boring speeches, we had 15 minutes to debate Kerry vs Kucinich, then we had to leave because a dinner banquet had the same room booked???

If this new “Patriot” Act passes, trying to engage the tv believing delegates in a real conversation could be called “impeding” the convention - I’m sure the DLC Chair and many others would agree that could I was a “troublemaker”… speaking out next time could get me a year in prison, ten if I’m holding a “weapon” such as a microphone.

Violation of this section, and attempts or conspiracies to commit such violations, shall be punishable by– 10 years, if– weapon or firearm; or injury
else, one year

So even “conspiracies” to “disrupt” are punishable with prison time. Does that mean if several people “on the list” go to a convention, that they’re conspiring and could end up in prison? Of course it doesn’t mean the new law will be abused, but the loose language ought to cause major concern.

Sec 605 of the Patriot Act says the new Gestapo can

make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony

I heard on the radio that they pulled someone over for “looking suspicious”. Is that “reasonable grounds” for an arrest in Bush’s America? Complain about it and they tag on resisting arrest to your charges…

This law is laying the legal groundwork for silencing dissent, for arresting and imprisoning those that are a threat to the Criminals in our Gov’t. What we have is the fascists showing their cards and making a run for end zone.

It’s time for all activists to realize the urgency of the moment.

Waiting for another “election” is BUllSHit!

Reagan Appointee Paul Craig Roberts on the money again:

President Bush has used “signing statements” hundreds of times to vitiate the meaning of statutes passed by Congress. In effect, Bush is vetoing the bills he signs into law by asserting unilateral authority as commander-in-chief to bypass or set aside the laws he signs. For example, Bush has asserted that he has the power to ignore the McCain amendment against torture, to ignore the law that requires a warrant to spy on Americans, to ignore the prohibition against indefinite detention without charges or trial, and to ignore the Geneva Conventions to which the US is signatory.

In effect, Bush is asserting the powers that accrued to Hitler in 1933. His Federalist Society apologists and Department of Justice appointees claim that President Bush has the same power to interpret the Constitution as the Supreme Court. An Alito Court is likely to agree with this false claim.

This is the great issue that is before the country.

Bush is declaring himself above the law, and Congress is rolling over. Gore’s call for a special counsel, to make that an issue in the Nov election, is ridiculous. Lawsuits against the Bush spying are a waste of time, the Supreme Court appointed Bush in 2000, they will simply rule that Bush does indeed have whatever power he desires.

Bush broke the law like a dictator, spying on Peace Groups this is a blatant power grab… and we’re supposed to accept it.

STOP WAITING FOR THE DEMOCRATS
TO DO SOMETHING!

WE MUST DO IT OURSELVES

from Gore’s big speech on the Constitutional Crisis:

The President and I agree on one thing. The threat from terrorism is all too real. There is simply no question that we continue to face new challenges in the wake of the attack on September 11th and that we must be ever-vigilant in protecting our citizens from harm.

Terror terror everywhere. Orwell, 1984- the gov’t terrorized it’s own citizens into accepting the police state. Face it people, Gore is just another establishment ho. Even though he’s bashing Bush now, after the next terror attack, you can expect Gore to back Bush all the way.

A special counsel should immediately be appointed by the Attorney General to remedy the obvious conflict of interest that prevents him from investigating what many believe are serious violations of law by the President.

But according to scholars, we already know Bush broke the law, and continues to do so. Gore’s call for an investigation is just more stalling BUllSHit. We don’t need an investigation, we need articles of impeachment.

Gore did the same thing for the 2004 election, came out and blasted the Patriot Act, then told Democrats to back Kerry who was actually for expanding the Patriot Act. It’s like a con-artist’s sleight of hand- boldly say one thing, then point followers the wrong way.

If Gore was for real, he’d mention the new Secret Service Uniformed Division BushCo is trying to establish in the new Patriot Act, coming up soon. Two Republicans warn that BushCo is willing to introduce martial law to stay in power- Gore didn’t mention that.

If this were Clinton and sex, the Republicans would be screaming for impeachment, but instead it’s Bush spying on Americans like a tinpot dictator, lying about it like a high school dropout, starting a war killing thousands… and the best the Dems can manage it, let’s appt another phony investigator that will string this thing along til the next phony election. Isn’t the imbalance obvious? Why aren’t there any Dems with teeth? There are, they just never make it to DC.

We have a clear case that the president has broken the law, and the Democratic Party has proven itself unwilling to stand up. They are complicit. Enough time has passed, enough evidence has been made public and the Congressional Dems remain on vacation! It was just reported that the spying began BEFORE 9/11. That blows the whole ‘9/11 changed everything’ excuse out of the water….
Yet the Democrats remain silent.

Most of the America wants out of Iraq, but Congress doesn’t care. There is no good reason to stay, except that every 5 days the military-industrial complex scoops up another Billion Dollars of your Children’s money.
And the Democrcats remain silent.

A Zogby Poll says 52% of the public supports impeachment- but evidently, in Congress there is not even 1% support for impeachment- proof that the US Congress does not truly represent the will of the people.
The Democrats are the “loyal opposition” - loyal to Bush, not us.

The Senate is attending to Alito, business as usual… Bush just broke the law, lies and says it’s legal, and they’re content to wait til Feb to discuss it? They’re content to let Alito through, so the Illegal Spying case will go to the Supreme Court…duh!
And the Democrats remain silent.

“Oh well, let’s try to win in 2006.” is their plan- yet there was widespread evidence of election fraud in 2000, 2002 & 2004. What has been done to remedy the situation for 2006? Nothing.
The Democrats are silent on all that matters.

Wake Up America- The DC Democrats are complicit!

That is the problem. Good people across America refuse to believe that most DC “Democrats” are corrupt just like the Repubs. People want to believe that the Dems are fighting for them, because it allows citizens to shirk their responsibility to be informed- ‘the Dems are doing it for me’. No, they are not- and our children, and others around the world, are going to suffer the consequences- because the Good Americans refused to see that the Democrats are complicit.

Senator Frank Church chaired the Senate Hearings on the FBI’s Cointelpro operation, which spied upon & attempted to INFILTRATE, DISRUPT & DISCREDIT the peace movement, even Martin Luther King Jr.

if a dictator ever took over, the NSA “could enable [him] to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back.”

Reps Murtha & Moran demonstrate that they don’t have a clue.

During their town hall meeting on C-span [at 1:06:20], a young woman asked about the Pentagon missing TRILLIONS, which was announced by Rumsfeld at a press conference on Sept 10, 2001. (Funny timing, eh)

Both Moran and Murtha don’t even know about it… they say she must be talking about Billions- they brush off the intelligent young lady as if she doesn’t have a clue- when it fact it is they- the elected Representatives that are uninformed.

IMO, to not know about this huge story of the missing Trillions, illustrates that these two CongressCritters are incompetent.

This town hall meeting should serve as a wake up call- the public is better informed than the Critters- period. Not just this young gal, but many of the questions were on the money- several of the Citizens at this town hall meeting demonstrated that they would make better Representatives than the two old goats that have been “earning” ~ $160,000 a year for decades.

Impeach Now or let them continue spying on Peace Groups, adding to their list.

Impeach Now or let them pass the New “Patriot” Act, which gives Bush and the crooks in Congress a Federal Gestapo to protect them.

Bush & Cheney want you to wait til November…

foul language advisory- had to get this off my chest (- ;

Doesn’t it seem like everyone is just waiting for the next big hit…. why are we waiting for them to act, why can’t everyone see that the fucking Dems are letting him off the fucking hook. What a bunch of cheap fucking whores… that’s why Bush is getting away with it all- it’s not the fucking Repubs in Congress- it’s Dems like Pelosi- can you believe the fucking house leader’s plan for Iraq is to have no plan, to let each Democrat choose as they may… Instead of leading the charge, she’s got no official position as “Leader” of the Dems? WTF?!!!

And now this spy thing- they are letting him continue to break the fucking law!!! He bitch slaps them on tv, and says to Congress, I’m gonna keep breakin the law, and you’re gonna keep bending over when Dick tells you to.

What the fuck will it take to get people to realize that most if not all 535 members of Congress are fucking whores!

Visualize: Loud Music in the streets of SF, chants of “Fuck Dick, Fuck Bush, saying it loud raising our fists”… maybe the first protest will start in SF, then other cities will catch on… shut down the fucking system.

With Dem leaders like this…

Newsweek: Do you think the Democrats can win back the majority in either the House or the Senate?
Kos: I think Democrats will make gains, but it’s 2008 we need to think about.

Ha ha… on one hand we have a former Reagan official describing Bush’s Nazi tactics, we have two Repub Congressmen warning of BushCo declaring Martial Law…. but the most popular Dem blogger says absolutely nothing about that stuff, nothing about impeachment, and there’s little hope for the 2006 election.

This is a progressive leader? Sure. Gee, I wonder how “Kos” got to be so popular. Probably the same way Nancy “No Iraq Plan is our goal” Pelosi got to be Dem “Leader” of the House.

Progressive Democrat?

…

But in the case of President admitting to an impeachable offense, spying on his own citizens like any tinpot dictator would…. and our CongressCritters are going to continue their vacation? Think about it.

This Congress is proving their utter complicity… it’s almost like the good Dems are standing down, it’d be easier for some Americans to digest- that the entire Congress is corrupt- not just the Repubs. So instead of a Repub vs Dem fight amongst the citizens, it becomes an us vs them thing.

We the People must remove this corrupt government. Waiting til 2006 elections is not a good option. But at $6 Billion a month Halliburton and friends have probably hired “PR firms” to push the idea- impeach after the election. Stall all the way, then steal it again….

Innocent people are dying everyday while BushCo cronies gorge at the trough.

Via Puppet Bush, the neocons are trying to assert dictatorial powers, spying on citizens to create “the list” of dissenters to be silenced.

They must stopped as soon as possible- not “wait til the next election”.

(hat tip to a DUer for the great analogy)
(PS- I’m not on DemUnderground- kicked off during the ‘04 primaries for saying Kerry was a setup- good people post at DU, but i think it’s run by Cointelpro)

Bush’s claim is that we should trust him because he’s got to protect us. After he read The Pet Goat on 911 morning? Who the f*$k would trust this SOB? I think it far more likely that he’s spying on us to protect himself, not Americans. Did you see how much he cared about the people of New Orleans….? And just like 9/11, he was on vacation the entire month before it hit- funny coincidence, eh.

I wish to stress The Urgency of the situation:

1. Hitler used the Reichstag fire to pass the Enabling Act and grab power.
2. Hitler used the claim of protecting his nation to launch a pre-emptive attack on Poland.
3. Under the guise of protection, Hitler rounded up dissenters.

Bush used 9/11 to pass the “Patriot” Act, then the pre-emptive attack on Iraq… he’s already done two- perhaps number three is not far behind? You know he’s got Nazi connections right?

The new “Patriot” Act is just what Bush needs, his own Gestapo. A federal police force that travels the country…. You think I’m nuts? Watch the videos of the goons at the Miami FTAA protests- special thugs that follow orders like trained dogs.

Helllllloooo People! Time to start the Revolution! If we don’t do it now, they’re going to round people up and put them in concentration camps. And just like in Germany, most Americans just don’t want to believe it, and they don’t see any camps in their neighborhood, so lets just pretend they are icky rumors, like that 9/11 truth movement and the lone gunemen wackos.

Note to Howard Zinn, Cindy Sheehan and other Patriots:
So you’re not a billionaire, but you’ve got some cash- why not go down to Lafayette Park with a few big tents and a bunch of friends, esp some with cameras, laptops, etc… Make a statement that we are here to protest grievances against this government- God given rights enshrined in the 1st Amendment, rights that no tinpot dictator and lapdog congress can take away.

Go and dare them to arrest you- have bloggers & v(ideo)loggers cover the event so the whole world will see it real-time. The time is ripe- people will join you and the numbers will swell. But don’t lay down and obstruct the sidewalk, that gives them a reason to arrest you. Instead, just set up your tents and say we’re not leaving until this corrupt President and Congress are removed from office. Millions would join you if they could afford it.

If they try to arrest you and you’re not doing anything wrong… what are they going to say- you’re terrorists? They have nothing on you, and you can ask the cops if they took an oath to defend the Constitution…. get it all on video and to the net asap.

ps- While you’re camping, don’t forget to play “out the agents” quite often (- ;

The problem now is not Bush believers, but the left leadership that is taking a dive. Phrases like broke the law, high crimes, impeachable offense, & treason are commonplace all over the net and now even mainstream media. At this moment, there should be loud calls for impeachment from every Democrat in America, and out of 200+ DC Dems, the best we’ve got is one call for Censure?

Where is Congress anyway? The Senate returns in a week or two, but the House may be on vacation until January 31st. Did most of them return to their home states, or are they still in DC? Seems to me like they’re in hiding. WTF are they doing taking a vacation when this SOB is has flagrantly violated the law, and he continues to do so. Congresspeople, where are you!

I’m listening to this mp3 of John Conyers…. “how much is enough?… the point where you can’t take it anymore.” - he’s just now getting there?

Honestly, Mr. Conyers is to be commended for speaking out since he appears to be the only Dem to do so, but I find myself listening and thinking that no movement will succeed with Mr. Conyers as the spokesman. No offense intended, but Mr. Conyers doesn’t have the charisma and/or passion to inspire a movement. His Censure deal now is about the Iraq war, something that should have been introduced back in June 2005, so now he comes out with right when the spy scandal breaks… and now he’s gathering signatures again. A fat lot of good that did last year, but he’ll try again, hoping that Bush listens this time? Bush is the criminal- don’t ask him to look at your petitions, prosecute him!

Seriously, why don’t we have a vibrant young leader “goin’ off” on everything Bush has done, there is sooo much evidence, all we need is someone to lead the charge and take him down. It’s like a vacuum on the left…. Where did everyone go?

The silence is deafening.

Is this it for America, are we just going down without a fight… at the end of the month, right when there could be massive Protests at the State of the Union, Congress will be considering the new “Patriot” act, which contains provisions to create a new Gestapo, a federal police force that travels the country and has the power to arrest people at will, 1yr in jail for “unauthorized signs”!!! Is this not exactly what Hitler did?

No, the real problem isn’t with the Bush followers, it’s with the LEFT that keeps following these fake groups and fake leaders that lead to nowhere. It’s time for the LEFT to wake up to how bad it really is, and that more is required than a donation to moveon. The time is ripe for a group to go down to your local “public” radio station and demand that the NPR propaganda be replaced with real, live dialogue between citizens.

So what’s it gonna be- will Americans riseup and reclaim our country- or we allow the neocons to assume the dictatorship while the continue to front dubya and laugh at the stupid sheep being led to the slaughter.

Dictator: a ruler who is unconstrained by law

re: the illegal spying
Bush is trying to establish himself above the law. He just slapped Congress in the face then, rather than apologizing, he lied about it and told them he was going to continue the illegal spying whether they like it or not. He’s asking Congress to roll over once again, let him admit to an impeachable offense, then let him off the hook again- this time proving to all that Bush is above the law, in effect crowning him America’s first dictator. Perhaps thats even why they did it- to showboat their power to the elite, while the masses of sheep are distracted by gadgets, tv, viagra… there’s a diversion for everyone.

Spying on Americans without a warrant is expressly forbidden in the Constitution. Bush admitted to authorizing this unconstitutional act more than 30 times. This means Bush broke the law. There is no grey area here, Bush broke the law- period.

What’s worse is that Bush knows he was breaking the law, and then continued to lie about it at his press conference Dec 19th when he claimed that he had this authority under the Constitution- an outright lie to America on national television.

Proof: During a series of campaign speeches in 2004, Bush talked about wiretaps and claimed that a court order was always used in cases of domestic spying. We know now that this was untrue- Bush deliberately lied to his supporters on the campaign trail.

To all Bush Supporters: he looked in your face and lied to you.

But more importantly, this video proof of Bush on the campaign trail proves that he knew it was against the law to spy on Americans without a warrant… and he did it anyway as he lied to his followers.

Bush also lied when he said they were only monitoring international phone calls. A leak to NY Times reporter exposed that in fact, the NSA had tapped into the main arteries of America’s telecommunications system. Supposedly looking for patterns of terrorist activity, they were monitoring all phone and email traffic in America.

Maybe they didn’t authorize rogue agents to use this tool to identify dissenters… but they opened the door for such abuse to take place. That is a High Crime worthy of Impeachment.

NOWHERE in the Constitution does it mention Censure in regards to a President. Nowhere. Censure is for Congress to shame one of it’s own, Impeachment is to be used in the case of a renegade President. Bush swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. He broke that oath in a very serious manner and he must be impeached, or the rule of law is dead.

Censure is also BUllSHit for this reason- the repubs will sign on, then claim that’s good enough, any calls for impeachment will be brushed aside as, “we already censured him.” Censure is not good enough.

At this point, there is no need for an investigation. ZERO. All the evidence is in public. The President admitted to an impeachable offense on national tv.

If Congress does not hold Bush accountable, then they are telling the world that Bush is above the law- that he is dictator.

Plan of Action

We The People remind Congress that they too took an oath to defend the Constitution, from both enemies foreign and domestic. If they side with their buddy Bush, then they too are traitors and will be tried alongside Bush, Cheney & the Neocons when we finally arrest them.

1. Call or Fax (this pdf) Congress and let them know, impeachment or else. Imagine if Kos, TPM, other progressive sites picked up on this, so many thousands of faxes could be sent…)
2. Organize State Of The Union MOSH II protest, gather in DC to put the pressure on Congress the week before the SOTU.
3. Jan 31st, surround the capitol building, project truth videos to the riot cops, remind them that they too took an oath to defend the Constitution.

One more thing… just say no to candlelight vigils- it’s time to be loud and rockin’ - check out these two samples from the upcoming Public Enemy reunion with special guest Paris.

from the WaPo:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party.

Pelosi said Democrats will produce an issue agenda for the 2006 elections but it will not include a position on Iraq.

This is utterly absurd for the supposed “Opposition Leader”. Who elected her Leader? Why don’t the Real Democrats try to vote her out- if nothing else it’d expose who is complicit among them.

Harry Reid in a surprise offensive move demands that the senate move foward with inquiry in to the Bush Administration’s use of ‘intelligence’ before the assault on Iraq…
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/01/AR2005110101037.html”>

A report was issued in July last year, but a “phase two” inquiry into how the Bush administration used that intelligence has not been held. Reid accused Roberts of breaking a promise to conduct that investigation in an effort to “provide political cover for this administration,” which he said had “consistently and repeatedly manipulated the facts” in making its case to invade Iraq in 2003.

“I demand on behalf of the American people that we understand why these investigations are not being conducted,”

but Frist hit back with an emotional yet logic challenged response…

Frist told reporters that he has never as majority leader “been slapped in the face with such an affront to the leadership of this grand institution.”

“This is an affront to me personally,” he said. “It’s an affront to our leadership. It’s an affront to the United States of America. And it is wrong.”

Frist sharply criticized Reid personally, saying he could never trust the Democratic leader again.

In the end they agreed to form a bipartisan committee of six senators to report on progress by the Senate Intelligence Committee in reviewing prewar intelligence. Can this be the first of many moves to finally represent democrats by the democratic party? Can we possibly get a ‘emotional intelligence’ class in service day for senate Republicans? Then we might be making some progress.
