Save the USA

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?

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…

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?

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.

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

FLYERS

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.

With the ominous signs of a US attack on Iran, I did a little digging, but I’m not sure what I uncovered- hopefully someone else out there can clarify.

“Representative” Ileana Ros-Lehtinen introduced HR 282 Jan 6, 2005:

To hold the current regime in Iran accountable for its threatening behavior and to support a transition to democracy in Iran.

This bill was passed Jun 7, 2005, 409-2. But the summary was changed from “hold Iran accountable” to “…urging action against anti-Semitism by United Nations member states, and for other purposes.”

But then on Oct 28, 2005, Rep Ros-Lehtinen says to the House:

H.R. 282 , the Iran Freedom Support Act.. provides a comprehensive, multi-tiered, non-military approach to the Iranian threat. The legislation has 325 co-sponsors, and I urge that it be acted upon before the House adjourns this year.

Mr. Speaker, Iran is the full ticket. It is not just Israel’s problem. It constitutes a clear and present danger to regional and global security and must elicit a clear and comprehensive response.

The time has come for Congress and the international community to hold Iran accountable for its destructive behavior.

Nice that she says it’s a “non-military approach” - roflmao, why would anyone believe that? The Iran Freedom Act is just a little too close to the Iraqi Liberation Act, and we all know how that went.

So in June 2005 the House passed HR282, then in Oct Ms Ros-Lehtinen urges that the House act on HR282… wtf- is that a different bill with the same number? Is this some sort of sleight of hand to be used when Congress enacts “the Doomsday Plan“?

I made this picture to go with some Katrina stuff, but I’m not done with that yet, but I wanted to post the picture anyway… does it fit? (- ;

mp3

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 (- ;

In light of the increasing poverty in America, homeless veterans, Vets that just returned from Iraq and can’t get health care because the “Support our Troops” Republicans keep cutting their health care… these hypocrites are sick. BellaCiao

The Defense Department paid contractors $8 billion over five years in bonuses on weapons programs that were often dogged by severe cost overruns, performance problems and delays, the Government Accountability Office said.

The agency, an independent auditor for Congress, reviewed 93 of 597 military contracts in force between 1999 and 2004 that included the possibility of a bonus. Contractors on average were awarded about 90 percent of the bonus money available, the agency said in the draft of a report it sent to the Pentagon and plans to release next week.

For example, Lockheed Martin and Boeing, the two largest defense contractors, received $1.7 billion, or about 91 percent of $1.847 billion available on four major programs, including the Joint Strike Fighter, even as these programs “experienced significant cost increases, technical problems and development delays,” the draft said.

And this $8 Billion in bonuses is only for 93 out of 597 contracts- at that rate there could be another $40 Billion in bonuses the Pentagon auditor hasn’t reviewed yet. We only know about this because two Senators

asked the agency to review the bonus system after senior defense officials complained that the awards are paid regardless of performance.

There are homeless veterans in America, yet our gov’t is giving Billions of dollars in bonuses to the military-industrial complex, “regardless of performance”. Just like the tax cuts- billions to the rich while most of America suffers. Are these the actions of noble leaders, or con-men?

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.

I’m not the only one stating that Bush has declared himself above the law….

Jay Bookman in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution:

In asserting his right to ignore the law, President Bush has slapped Congress right across the face and told them they better like it.

Congress can now mutter “Yes, sir” and cower in its corner like a whipped dog, as it has for most of the past five years, or it can fight back to defend its institutional authority. Either choice will mark a turning point in U.S. history.

Well put. Wake Up America! Pull yer head out of the stupid sitcoms and realize that a 21st century fascist dictatorship is trying to assert itself. The wannabe dictator shamelessly lied on national tv, everyone paying attention saw it… will he get away with it and become dictator, or will we demand the rule of law prevail?

27 yr CIA Veteran Ray McGovern:

Whether authorizing torture or wiretaps, [Bush] reserves the right to act irrespective of domestic or international law.

The question is whether Congress and the courts will acquiese in this usurpation of their own powers, or whether there are still enough men and women in those branches of government determined to honor their oath to defend the Constitution of the United States “from all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

A glimmer of hope from

Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, who told reporters:

“I took an oath of office to the Constitution. I didn’t take an oath of office to my party or to my president.”

What is Congress going to do about it? Probably nothing, unless We put the heat on them.

Note to Progressives: Ever notice how all the big name progressive blogs have tons of ads… What would it take to get these bloggers to advertise a DC protest- they won’t earn any money, but they could help give birth to world peace. Are y’all capitalists working for cash, or patriots working for peace? It’s time to show your true colors. Please consider posting an Impeach Now banner, link to any Impeach Bush Now page you desire- just focus on Impeachment NOW- before the next attack.

There are two kinds of Republicans these days, Bush & non-Bush Republicans. Here are two from Congress- one is correct, the other is either lying or perhaps merely confused.

Bushie Senator Bill Frist: “”We have more to fear from terrorism than we do from this Patriot Act.”

Texas Rep. Ron Paul: “We have far more to fear from an unaccountable government at home than from any foreign terrorist.” - from his House site - The 911 Commission Charade

Who do you Trust?

Two major problems with the new ‘Patriot’ Act

Bill Frist caught lying about his Trust Fund

Bill’s family business is HCA (fomerly Columbia) health care- an HMO, in fact the HMO guilty of the largest Medi-care fraud ever… but it wasn’t the Frist’s fault- so it’s lucky they were able to settle with the government for $1.7 billion, and avoid a nasty lawsuit that might have cost them much, much, more.

seems like good fodder for a Holiday (extended family) conversation (- ;

A few Republican Senators are planning on filibustering the new Patriot Act, (the House version makes permanent 14 out of 16 of the ’sunsetting’ provisions). They passed it right after 9/11, taking away our freedoms to protect us, telling us it would only be temporary. Now they’re trying to take our freedoms permanently by ramming this bill through a lazy Congress that just wants to go home for vacation.

Please call or fax these Senators, encouraging them to filibuster as long as it takes (in ‘71 Senator Mike Gravel filibustered for 5 months to end the draft!) Their sworn duty is to uphold the constitution, maybe we can encourage one or more of them to stand strong in the face of adversity.

This is very real America- we are turning into a totalitarian police state - we must stop this madness now- before the next attack.

Former Republican Congressman Bob Barr:

“I think it’s a real danger where we have the military becoming involved in all sorts of domestic matters and we have the government being able to seize very private personal records on people without any suspicion that they’ve done anything wrong. This is a dramatic turn of events that has accelerated greatly since 9/11.”

Barr made comments very similar to those of current Republican Congressman Ron Paul in stating that natural disasters could be used by the government as a pretext to abolish posse comitatus.

“If we have the military involved whenever there’s a windstorm, rain or tornado then what we are doing is that we are undermining the entire basis on what our constitutional representative democratic form of government was founded.”

Barr said that legislation like the Patriot Act and its imminent re-authorization and expansion were more of a threat to the American way of life than any terrorist attack.

“Even when the leaders in Washington say we’re not going to let the terrorists change our way of life, they are implementing policies that do precisely that.”

Barr elaborated that the manipulation of fear was a key cornerstone in the government’s coup de ‘tat on constitutional liberties.

“They’re using people’s fear of another terrorist attack to move forward with various government programs that the government has wanted to gather and put in place for many many years. They’re using the fear which is now driving public policy in this country which is very unfortunate and very un-American. Our leaders are shamelessly playing on that fear to implement and grab power.“

Current Republican Congressman Ron Paul:

“They’re putting their back up against the wall and saying, if need be we’re going to have martial law.”

“We’ve heard all these statements by the President, by the administration, why they need more militarism at the federal government to keep people in check so nobody knows how this will turn out but I do know that the only thing we can do about it is try to alert the American people to what’s going on so they can be prepared.”

(MP3s of both Barr and Paul available, click the links then look at bottom of page)

Wouldn’t it be cool if We The People recruited 435 regular Americans to run for Congress… sure maybe Ron Paul and a few others are for real, but I still think it’d be better to simply Sweep the House.

from this excellent article by Murray Waas:

“You can’t distinguish between Al Qaeda and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror,” President Bush said on September 25, 2002.

The next day, Rumsfeld said, “We have what we consider to be credible evidence that Al Qaeda leaders have sought contacts with Iraq who could help them acquire … weapons-of-mass-destruction capabilities.”

The most explosive of allegations came from Cheney, who said that September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta, the pilot of the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center, had met in Prague, in the Czech Republic, with a senior Iraqi intelligence agent, Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani, five months before the attacks. On December 9, 2001, Cheney said on NBC’s Meet the Press: “[I]t’s pretty well confirmed that [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in [the Czech Republic] last April, several months before the attack.”

Cheney continued to make the charge, even after he was briefed, according to government records and officials, that both the CIA and the FBI discounted the possibility of such a meeting.

The CIA & the FBI told him it never happened- yet Cheney continued to make the claim, intentionally lying to America again and again. We don’t need no stinkin investigation, this liar should be impeached- now.

Republican Congressman Ron Paul spoke to Alex Jones and as a Washington insider seems to have information that the incredibly corrupt Republican House of Cards is coming down.
interview with Alex Jones

“I think there’s a lot more excitement coming and it’s not going to be good for the Republicans,” stated Paul.

“The things that I hear have to do with Karl Rove and Abramoff and that’s much much worse than anybody would believe and it involves DeLay as well.”

“And that type of an indictment will be much more serious than the indictment of shifting campaign funds around…..there’s some political infighting which could make that really interesting.”

And then there is this damning information about Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist…

“The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Frist earned tens of thousands of dollars from HCA stock in a partnership controlled by his brother, outside of the blind trusts he created to avoid a conflict of interest.

“It seems that for years, Frist may have misled his constituents and the American people about his health care industry stock holdings and the conflict of interest they created as he drafted our nation’s health care policy,” …

“Within days of Frist’s July stock sale, HCA warned investors about weaker-than-expected financial performance, which sent the stock price spiraling downward by 9 percent in one day.”

Washington Post

Exposing the Republican culture of corruption in Washington, D.C. couldn’t come at a better time, as Bush is asking congress to abolish Posse Comitatus and allow him to set up Martial Law to quarantine US citizens.

Congressman Ron Paul

“To me it’s so strange that the President can make these proposals and it’s even plausible. When he talks about martial law dealing with some epidemic that might come later on and having forced quarantines, doing away with Posse Comitatus in order to deal with natural disasters, and hardly anybody says anything. People must be scared to death.”

Paul, himself a medical doctor, agreed that the bird flu threat was empty fearmongering….”My first reaction going from my political and medical background is that it’s way overly hyped and to think that they have gone this far with it, without a single case in the whole country and they’re willing to change the law and turn it into a military state?”

It seems they are already using New Orleans to try out their military state, setting up Guantanamo at a bus station, forcing people to sleep on concrete and do slave labor…all for being arrested for violating curfew…

Anthony Jack, former detainee, explains

“I was in my yard, and a young white guy came by the gate and I was talking to him and the police came and arrested both of us,” he recounted. “He was outside breaking curfew; I was inside… behind the gate. The police broke my gate down with a pick-ax. They broke it completely off the fence.”

They were then told they could either plead guilty and they would be sentenced to about 40 hours of “community service.” or if they wished the maintain their innocence they would be sent to Hunts Correctional Facility where they could wait as long as 21 days to be processed.

In the end, given the choice between unpaid work and continued incarceration, nearly all chose to plead guilty.

“The police are basically arresting people for curfew violations and public intoxication and just using it as a way to get free labor to clean up the prisons and court houses and the police stations. They’re just using it as a way to get people to do their dirty work for free.”

Brandon Toussaint said he was arrested going from the downstairs of is apartment complex to another apartment upstairs.Toussaint said he had already done a few days of work for the police, cleaning up and painting their facilities.
“If they needed someone to clean up their city, they could have just asked,” he said.

This abuse of power and disregard for the US consitution must be stopped immediately if we are to save what is left of our democracy. Otherwise, Guantanamo might be coming to a town near you.

As Ron Paul suggests…the government is on a delusional power trip that threatens the country.

“These guys are ready to start a war with Iran, Syria, North Korea or China. They can’t possibly do that, it’s so insane, we don’t have the money, we don’t have the troops, we probably don’t even have the ammunition.”

“But, if they are truly delusional they just might do something that’s totally irrational.”
