Clips from 911 Press for Truth

Filed under: headline news, Impeach — ben @ 9:52 am

I highly recommend the DVD 9/11 Press for Truth for anyone wishing to wake up their friends and family. It’s all mainstream news clips, quotes from the asses’ mouths, that prove the Bush Admin is flat out lying regarding September 11th.

Buy the dvd here- www.911pressfortruth.com

This is my 911p4t plus re-mix (18mb avi)

The one bit of info the movie didn’t include was about the 52 warnings prior to 9/11, including a cdrom mailed to airlines & airports about suicide hijackers.

The CD-ROM briefings said: “We don’t rule it out … If however, the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange hostages for prisoners, but to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion, a domestic hijacking would probably be preferable.”

This report was printed in August 2004, but withheld by Bush until after the election- (there is no way he would have ‘won’ the election) if this came out. By the way, that was the same month that they ’swift-boated’ Kerry for his actions in Vietnam, clearly the 52 warnings and Bush’s inaction before/during 9/11 would have been way more relevant.

This is my prior audio re-mix that included the 52 warnings report.

Impeach Bushco, Save Lives: Open-ended March on DC begins Jan 3rd

Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Impeach, Cointelpro — ben @ 1:57 pm

There must be thousands of anti-bush bloggers… why can’t we all work together? Anti-war patriots need to stop following cointelpro ‘leaders’ and start organizing our own actions.

Wouldn’t it be cool if every one of them put up a “March on DC to Impeach” banner. Haven’t you had enough of the Saturday afternoon protests that go nowhere? Who organizes a march when Congress isn’t even in town?

And this time, we’ll have none of that Nixon waving goodbye bullshit, we demand an open hearing, with Bush & co testifying under oath, in public- cross examined by Congress and members of the public. We demand the truth, and this time, we’re staying until the crooks and liars and are held accountable!

I’m just one person, would you please consider emailing a few anti-bush sites and asking them if they’ll post a banner too? Got better graphic arts skills than me, by all means make another and offer it up (- ;

What would MLK do if he were alive today? What about John Lennon? Funny how they were shot, and now we have a bunch of posers in their place, leading another Saturday march to nowhere.

Beirut has music blasting thru the walls of the Presidential Palace- why can’t we do that?

We could have a Woodstock 2007: Impeach for World Peace Concert in DC- with a whole range of peace artists from rap to country to rock. Can anyone out there contact: Eddie Vedder, Willie Nelson, Chuck D, Dixie Chicks, Green Day, Billy Bragg, Immortal Technique, John Mellencamp, Merle Haggard, Ani Difranco, Paris, Jynkz, et al….

It is time for an open-ended march on DC,
if not now, when?

Are all of the above singers sellouts? I don’t think so. Are they cowards? No- not that either. Maybe they are all just waiting for someone to organize it.

How WE Can Save America

Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Impeach — ben @ 3:54 pm

This is a letter to all of those Americans that know what is really happening in America.

We now know that Bush is openly disregarding the Constitution. We know that Congress is doing nothing about it, maybe they’ll appoint another ‘bi-partisan’ commission to ‘investigate’.

This is not acceptable.

All of those elected officials swore to Uphold and Defend the Constitution. They have collectively failed, whether due to bribes, blackmail, incompetence, collusion, etc we know not, but we know that they have FAILED to Defend the Constitution- period.

What are we supposed to do, just keep watching while they turn America into Orwell’s nightmare? Wait for Hilary in 2008? lol.

Solution:
435 Patriots to run for Congress.

Regular citizens that are mad as hell, and aren’t going to take it anymore. Here are the myths that WE need to dispell:

1. That Bush and Co. are honest Republicans.
2. That Democrats in DC are worth voting for.
3. That it takes millions of dollars to win a Congressional Race.

The top two are self-evident, but they are the issues that we’ll need to prove to the American people.

#3 is what I wish to prove to you.

I an positive that most of America is FED UP with this BUllSHit Government. What evidence do I have? These polls that have 87% voting to impeach, 98% believe that Congress is not working for US.

PLEASE read more, then ACT on it!

The top two Republicans in Congress caught in an outright lie.

Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Vaccines, Republicans, Impeach — ben @ 7:49 pm

A Republican staffer has named Frist and Hastert as the two lawmakers that added the vaccine makers liability protection to the defense bill- after the committee had met several times that day, and Dems even asked Alaska Senator Ted Stevens if the language was in the bill, and he told them no.

After the conference committee broke up, a meeting was called in Hastert’s office, [Rep staffer Keith] Kennedy said. Also at the meeting, according to a congressional staffer, were Frist, Stevens and House Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo.

About 10 or 10:30 p.m., Democratic staff members were handed the language and told it was now in the bill, Obey said.

He took to the House floor in a rage. He called Frist and Hastert “a couple of musclemen in Congress who think they have a right to tell everybody else that they have to do their bidding.”

Frist and Stevens deny this charge saying the language was in the bill when the conferees voted on it- but if that’s so, why did Stevens tell Obey no? It appears there are several witnesses to the Leaders meeting… this is the top two Republicans in Congress caught in an outright lie, blatantly adding in crap that wouldn’t pass on it’s own.

Frist has received $271,523 in campaign donations from the pharmaceutical and health products industry since 1989, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group.

Remember how Frist slipped this exact same lawsuit protection into the Patriot Act. At that time it was a big scandal, he didn’t even change the font- but literally copied and pasted this tiny item at the end of 450 pages of legal mumbo-jumbo. Now they have the gall to do it again… because they know the Democrats won’t do anything about it. A few will make noise, but that’s about it…

Why are the pharmaceuticals so concerned about this lawsuit protection anyway?

When the hell will people wake up to this dog and pony show of Reps and Dems screwing us all over?

Screw the Photos: Bush, Abramoff Smoking Gun is W Removing Prosecutor Twice

Filed under: headline news, Impeach — ben @ 10:32 am

Twice now, Bush has removed the prosecutor in the Abramoff case. Twice!

From the LA Times, Aug 8, 2005 via Bellaciao:

WASHINGTON — A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor, and the probe ended soon after.

SF Chronicle, Jan 27, 2006:

The investigation into Jack Abramoff, the disgraced Republican lobbyist, took a provocative new turn Thursday when the Justice Department said the chief prosecutor in the inquiry would step down next week because he had been nominated to a federal judgeship by President Bush.

How can Bush remove Abramoff’s prosecutor twice and get away with it?

I’m utterly speechless. Do I need to explain this… ? I mean, why isn’t this a major scandal that every politician and news network isn’t breaking. This is 24/7 headline news… but the corporate media buries it, while calling bloggers ‘irresponsible’.

What could be worse… how bout this? Bush says he doesn’t really know Abramoff, but in May 2001, Abramoff charged his clients, the Coushatta Tribe, $25,000 to have lunch with Bush, The Texas Observer even has a copy of the check. This arrangement would make Abramoff the pimp, and Bush the whore. To me it is unbelievable that the President of the US would do this, to make his buddy rich. Why wouldn’t he just have lunch with the tribe because he’s the President and he cares!

Iraq: View from the ground, Things are NOT getting better

Filed under: Iraq, US Govt, Impeach — ben @ 11:02 pm

Quotes from this WaPo article illustrate that contrary to what Bush says, Iraq is not getting better.

In the first month after the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division took over security duties in northern Iraq in late fall, roadside bombs killed or wounded more than a quarter of the 34-man platoon…

“It’s definitely more dangerous this time around,” agreed Spec. David Jones, 24, of New York, on his second tour in Iraq with the platoon. “I didn’t expect to lose so many friends so soon.”..

Heavy-handed sweeps through Baiji by U.S. forces in 2003 and 2004 left many people angry, frightened and humiliated, residents say.

“Most of the people fighting the Americans tell me they do nothing for us but destroy the houses and capture people,” Adil Faez Jeel, a director at the Baiji refinery, said of the U.S. forces. “There are no jobs, no water, no electricity.”..

“When Saddam was in power, we used to go to Mosul, to Tikrit, to Baghdad. . . . It was safer all over,” said Salah Aub Ramadan Obaydi, 65, a retired teacher.. Now “people get shot every day and no one cares.”..

“We have almost no support from the local people. We talk to 1,000 people and one will come forward.”

Bush Admin Trying to Restrict Free Speech at J31 SOTU Protest

Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Impeach — ben @ 8:40 am

From the WaPo or (BellaCiao), turf renovation trumps right to Free Speech:

The organizers of the Tuesday protest, called “World Can’t Wait — Drive Out the Bush Regime,” say the National Park Service and the U.S. Capitol Police initially offered them the Capitol Reflecting Pool as a demonstration site but changed their minds. Demonstrators have been told to confine their gathering to the gravel walkways on the Mall between Third and Fourth streets, farther from the Capitol. The grassy areas are fenced off because they are being resodded.

Resodding land California might work in January, but DC? Sounds like a load of BUllSHit to me.

Katrina Warnings Ignored!

Filed under: Katrina, US Govt, headline news, Impeach — ben @ 8:37 am

This is unbelievable!… from ABC NEWS:

Documents released today by Congress show that two days before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the White House received detailed damage forecasts from Homeland Security officials predicting that the city’s levees might be overtopped or breached.

Yet in the days after the storm struck on Aug. 29, federal officials, including President Bush, said the levee breaches could not have been foreseen.

Embattled former FEMA Director Michael Brown said, “I think we were all taken aback by the fact that the levees did break in so many places and caused such widespread devastation.”

Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff said, “I will tell you that really that perfect storm of combination of catastrophes exceeded the foresight of the planners and maybe anybody’s foresight.”

And on Sept. 1, President Bush told “Good Morning America”: ‘’I don’t think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees” that flooded New Orleans.

The documents provided today by the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, however, showed that the federal agencies overseen by Brown and Chertoff had compiled damage forecasts for the White House at least 48 hours before the storm’s landfall that predicted levee overtopping and breaches.

AND OUR “ELECTED” OFFICIALS DID NOTHING!
It’s called Criminal Negligence.

On Aug. 27, two days before the storm made landfall, FEMA had prepared a slide presentation for White House officials. The FEMA slides said a Category 4 storm surge “could greatly overtop levees and protective systems.” It’s unclear who at the White House received this briefing or how its contents were distributed afterward.

Did they see the slideshow? Why did they do nothing?
Did they not even watch the presentation? Why not?

Either Way- They didn’t do anything to prepare for the storm, and they left thousands of Americans stranded with no food and water for a week after the storm…

Despite this Major Warning, Bush Stayed on F@%king Vacation!!!

In a sane country, the above information would be enough to throw Bush and Co out of the WhiteHouse immediately.

Now there is an investigation, and the WhiteHouse has ordered FEMA witnesses to refuse to answer “almost every question” about the Katrina (lack of) response… and this according to Republican Senator Joe Lieberman.

And check out the ‘coincidences’ that parallel 9/11:

  • Bush takes month long vacation in August
  • Bush Receives major warning (last time it was the Aug 6th Memo titled, “Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside US”
  • Bush does nothing, enjoys vacation, thousands of Americans die.
  • Bush stonewalls investigation, because “national security” is at stake.
  • Hello…..People of America… How much is too much?

    At what point do we STOP BUSINESS AS USUAL?

    The new “Patriot” Act: Prison time for ‘disruptors’

    Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Democrats, Impeach — ben @ 9:57 pm

    “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!

    Why did Bush hire Death Squads Negroponte to Spy On US ?

    Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Republicans, Impeach, Spying — ben @ 6:38 pm

    It’s been exposed that Bush and Co have been spying on Peace Groups. Not spying to stop al-Qaeda, but spying to silence dissent. These are the tactics of a dictator. Constitutional scholars agree that Bush broke the law, clearly violating the Constitution.

    “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.” ~Patrick Henry

    Bush blatantly lied when he said they were only spying on al-Qaeda. In fact, they plugged into the nation’s main telecommunication arteries in a massive data-mining operation, scooping up everything and doing a pattern analysis, “searching for terrorists”.

    Bush says it’s to protect us, but he also says his tax cuts for the rich were a good thing, that he didn’t really know Ken Lay, that the war in Iraq has made us safer, and lots of other lies.

    How can anyone continue to believe this proven pathological liar?

    So this is all bad enough… but to top it off,
    Bush appointed Death Squads Negroponte as the Top Spymaster. He has access to all the NSA spying data, with limited Congressional Oversight.

    Negroponte gained his nickname in the 80’s when he oversaw Honduran Death Squads for Pappy Bush (Reagan was a puppet like W).

    According to The New York Times, Negroponte carried out “the covert strategy of the Reagan administration to crush the [opposition]”

    In 2005 Dubya appointed him Ambassador to Iraq, where rumors of Death Squads surfaced soon after, and were confirmed in a Knight-Ridder article in Dec.

    Now he’s the top spy in America, with every tool and technology available, he has the ability to, “impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back.”

    Why would a President hire someone nicknamed Death Squads Negroponte to spy on his own citizens?

    The biggest problem in America

    Filed under: US Govt, headline news, PNAC, Impeach — ben @ 9:17 am

    The biggest problem in America is the refusal of good-hearted Americans to see that Bush, Cheney, et al are not bumbling idiots, but truly evil bastards destroying our country. To realize that we must stop them before more die.

    Wake Up America: The evildoers Lied to start a war, needlessly killing a hundred thousand, and they Exploited 9/11 to do it.

    They Exploited 9/11. Think about that. What kind of person would say, “Before Sept 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained,” (mp3) even though Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.

    We have already seen:

  • The Supreme Court rush in to an emergency Saturday morning session to STOP the vote count (Dec 2000).
  • Bush received a Memo titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US” Aug 6th, 2001. He stayed on vacation, then 9/11 happened. (Why wasn’t that enough for impeachment?)
  • Criminal Tax Cuts for the Rich, while
  • Poverty reaching record levels
  • Oil Co Profits at all-time highs
  • $1.48 Billion “over-charged” by Halliburton
  • Halliburton pumping oil “that isn’t even metered”
  • The deliberate FUBAR of Iraq, if they had withdrawn the military in 2003, we would have saved Billions of dollars, and thousands of lives… but “saving Billions of Taxpayer $$” means Billions less for Halliburton to “earn”.
  • $9 Billion “Lost” by Paul Bremer’s CPA, which used Cash Bricks ($100,000 of stacked $100’s) stuffed in gunny sacks to pay contractors.
  • Stop Loss orders
  • Depleted Uranium
  • Stolen Election 2004 - Bush’s Cousin Kerry took a dive
  • Katrina “excercise”: FEMA turned help away; Bush stayed on vacation, again!
  • Katrina survivors testified that they were not rescued, but detained in “concentration camps”
  • A new bankrupcy law that cracks down on individuals, while they ’settle’ corporate bankrupcies for pennies on the dollar. MCI WorldCom “over-stated” earnings by $13 Billion, stock price collapsed robbing millions of investors of $160 Billion… MCI ’settled’ for $.5 Billion penalty, then gov’t gave them a $.3 Billion contract for Iraq phone service.
  • That MCI case is typical… the gov’t lets the big boys rob billions, while they crack down on the little guy that went bankrupt because of absurd medical bills ($50,000 for a broken arm?!), which is something else this corrupt gov’t has refused to address- the broken/corrupt medical industry.

    And now we have seen this corrupt gov’t revive Cointelpro tactics to spy on Americans. Bush says they’re spying on al-Qaeda to protect us, but the evidence indicates they’ve been spying on Quakers, Catholic Workers and other Peace Groups. Bush says it’s perfectly legal, but Constitutional scholars disagree.

    Cheney says the NSA spying could have prevented 9/11- yet they began this illegal domestic spying before 9/11. Cheney had maps of Iraq at his secret “energy task force” meeting in March 2001. Does this not indicate that they were planning on invading Iraq, even before 9/11 happened… wtf!

    Right now the evidence is clear that we have a criminal cabal running the US gov’t… and they are making it clear that they are going to continue launching wars, the only question is who’s next, Venezuela, Syria, Iran or Saudi Arabia?

    And instead of a Peace Movement demanding Impeachment for these numerous crimes against humanity, America has a bunch of ‘activists’ that wish to make a career out of fighting the system.

    While BushCo claims supreme powers of the executive branch a la Hitler, appointing another yes man to the Supreme Court… some ‘activists’ are content to wait for another phony election…. ?

    While these good-hearted but naive activists continue to follow phony leaders, BushCo is getting ready to implement Ollie North’s plan for martial law in case of “widespread internal dissent or national opposition to a military invasion abroad”. The plan could be: “Terrorist” Attack, Attack Iran, Martial Law…

    Yes, these corrupt bastards will do anything to stay in power, even kill thousands of American citizens as they did in New York and New Orleans… yet the Peace Movement is willing to wait…?

    Now BushCo is asking for the RubberStamp Congress to pass the new “Patriot” Act which creates a new Federal Police Force, a new American Gestapo…. while according to former Senator Frank Church, the NSA Spying “could enable [a dictator] to impose total tyranny.” They’ve been spying on us, making “The List” for four years, now they want a federal Gestapo to silence critics.

    In short, we have an unelected idiot pretending to be President, while Cheney and other PNAC evildoers plot more world conquest. They do not give a shit about America, they only care about themselves and their own greedy ambitions. Threats to National Security are really threats to Bush/Cheney’s hold on power, because if they go down, they will go to the ICC and to prison. And they will do anything to prevent that… including allowing another “terrorist” attack, which would give them the excuse for martial law, as Tommy Franks suggested.

    Doesn’t anyone else see the urgency? We must STOP THEM before the next attack or “natural” disaster allows them to grab more power and kill more innocents.

    To all Americans that desire peace in the world and a better life for your grandchildren:

    STOP WAITING for the Politicians to do something.
    STOP WAITING for MoveOn or TrueMajority or some phony activist “steam valve” to do something- they are frauds as proven by their silent complicity in the 2004 election theft.

    It is time for you to Stop Business as Usual.

    New Patriot Act creates the “Secret Service, Uniformed Division”

    Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Republicans, Impeach — ben @ 6:35 pm

    America has never had a federal police force, but hidden in the new “Patriot” Act is language that creates just such a beast.

    SEC. 605. THE UNIFORMED DIVISION, UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE.

    There is hereby created and established a permanent police force, to be known as the `United States Secret Service Uniformed Division’.

    The Secret Service, Uniformed Division will not operate solely in DC, but anywhere former Presidents travel, or foreign dignitaries, or even “as the President, on a case-by-case basis, may direct.” #8

    A federal police force, directed by the President. Is this not the Gestapo all over again?

    If the new “Patriot” Act passes, the new SSUD federal police can show up at:

    (11) An event designated.. as a special event of national significance.
    (12) Major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and, within 120 days of the general Presidential election…

    A federal goon squad on hand to arrest any ‘disruptors’ during the next Presidential Election… how can you look in the mirror and tell yourself that there’s hope for 2008? Or is that just an excuse to continue doing nothing right now?

    Note: This bill comes up in two weeks, to date only myself and Kurt Nimmo have written about it. I’ve written Democracy Now, CommonDreams, etc… nobody wants to touch it.

    MK Ultra is for real. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s reported fact that the CIA did 150+ experiments on mind control.

    There is much published evidence that the project involved not only the use of drugs to manipulate persons, but also the use of electronic signals to alter brain functioning.

    Their excuse was, “the Russians are doing mind-control”, so we have to research it as well, to see what they might be capable of… but for the CIA

    The experiments often took a sadistic turn. Gottlieb was known to torture victims by locking them in sensory deprivation chambers while dosed on LSD, or to make recordings of psychiatric patients’ therapy sessions, and then play a tape loop of the patient’s most self-degrading statement over and over through headphones after the patient had been restrained in a straitjacket and dosed with LSD.

    Forces within the US gov’t were doing this in the 60’s… now with the advances in technology, what are they capable of today?

    In Miami Nov 2003, federal goons shot young Americans in the back. They chanted and beat their shields and shamelessly attacked thousands of people marching for “People Over Profits”. It appeared to many that these cops were literally brainwashed, incapable of individual thought, just a pack of wolves, actually relishing the violence. It was scary.

    Bush Claiming Dictatorial Powers

    Filed under: US Govt, headline news, Republicans, Democrats, Impeach — ben @ 11:15 am

    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.

    Bush says spying legal, Legal Scholars say he’s lying again
