John Conyers: Plant or Vegetable?

Fascism only occurs with the LACK of an organized opposition. When you know about PNAC, you know these bastards have been planning these wars et al for a long time. OF course they knew there would be widespread opposition, so they also planned (planted) the opposition.

Consider DemocraticUnderground, after 5 years of BushCo Disaster Capitalism (create a disaster, then capitalize on it), and 80,000 DUers on the case, wouldn't you think they'd have a virtual encyclopedia of Bush's Crimes? I'm sure the atrocities have been documented in various posts, but for some reason "Skinner" doesn't see the need to organize it all. If I sent someone to DU to find Election Fraud info, would they be able to find it? Why not? Members cannot search DU unless they donate- what kind of activist forum is that?

In the 60s and 70s COINTELPRO had to fight anti-war leaders like Lennon and Abbie Hoffman- this time around they planted the leaders and most Americans follow like sheep. They even have plants in Congress, like John Conyers. Think about it, Conyers investigations always lead to a dead end. He is the master stalling agent for BushCo.

* Election Fraud 2004- Conyers released the 100 page report Jan 5, the day before the big vote. What he couldn't release a summary a little sooner than that? Did you watch the Jan 6th Challenge- Conyers's big moment to speak, he was really weak- then he passed his time to fellow Critter Sanders whose first statement was, "I believe Bush won the election." If Conyers had damning evidence of fraud, then why did he pass his time to someone with the opposite viewpoint? It makes no sense. What has Conyers done about fixing the election process for 2006? Nothing. But you can buy a signed copy of his report for $50. What a hero.

* Downing Street Memo- After the June 16 hearing with Ray McGovern, Joe Wilson... Articles of Impeachment should have been introduced the next day. What did Conyers do- nothing! Then in July, Barbara Lee introduced a Resolution of Inquiry, which has to be acted on in 14 days, but aww shucks, she introduced it too late and Congress went on vacation for the month of August. When they returned, Katrina happened and the Res of Inquiry was lost in the aftermath.

What's Conyers doing now? His staff wrote a 273 page report about the Lies that led to war:

Our investigation has found that while the allegations set forth in this Report rise to the level of impeachable misconduct.. more information and investigatory authority is needed [because] the Bush Administration has largely ignored efforts by Members of Congress to obtain necessary information and documents

Huh? Bush and Co have committed impeachable offenses, but since they refuse to give us information justifying their actions, all we can do is keep asking nicely? If members of Congress had introduced Articles of Impeachment last June, then perhaps the disaster in New Orleans could have been averted. But they failed, and thousands more Americans are dead.

Many people believe that Conyers' "Constitution in Crisis" report is also about the NSA Illegally spying on Americans- it is not- it's all about Iraq. People think it's about spying because Conyers introduced it as a bait and switch right when the NSA Spy scandal was exposed. Many people just assume he's talking about the Spying due to the timing.

I am so sick of progressives looking to Conyers and the Dems to do something. Right now, they are all guilty of Failing to Defend the Constitution. There is no further investigation required- period. Bush admitted to an impeachable offense, Congress just re-wrote the law to make this UnConsitutional Spying "legal". According to Conyers' himself, the new language says that:

a warrant must be sought whenever possible (read convenient). Frankly, if you don't get penalized for ignoring the court in the first place, where's the incentive to now begin obeying the law? This is absolutely disgraceful.

Why isn't this enough for Conyers to introduce Articles of Impeachment? If not now, then when?

If the truth were known, every single American (save the nazi skinheads) would demand impeachment for Bush and Co. We need to Demand a Vote on Articles of Impeachment ASAP, so it's on the record. For those that vote against impeachment, there is still time to get Pro-Impeachment Candidates on the ballot in 49 states.

The time has come when Silence is Betrayal. It's time to offer CongressCritters immunity if they vote for Articles of Impeachment. Otherwise they too will be tried for complicity- Every Damn One of Them.

I'm from MI. and go to Conyers site and he is all talk with little action.
Actually I'm pretty much discouraged with all of congress.
We do need a major change with many policys concerning our government.

This is probably the dumbest

This is probably the dumbest blog post I've ever seen. Do your self a favor and learn a little about Congress works. The Republicans conrol the House of Representatives, which means they control the entire legislative process in that body. The only power that democrats have is to talk and try and stir public support.

funny comment- I've been

funny comment- I've been studying congress intensely for the past few years - and as a matter of fact, Congress doesn't work. It's entirely dysfunctional -you should watch a "debate" on c-span, nothing but prepared statements read to an empty room.

"The Republicans conrol the House" because they stole the elections. They lied to start a war, they lied about 9/11, you think election fraud is too much? lol

How about responding to some substance- explain:
June 16, 2005- Conyers had the DSM hearing- then nothing.
Jan 20, 2006- Conyers held the NSA hearing- then nothing.

All he's doing is providing a place for people to vent, then stall stall stall.
