The BEST Reasons to IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY!

Do you remember the USS Liberty incident, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, Operation Northwoods or the Watergate scandal? The United States Government lied to the American people and covered up the facts. It happened then and it's happening now! What's worse than lying is not telling us at all!

There are more people who believe in "conspiracy theories" than you may think. Question everything you're told. If it doesn't make sense, then something is wrong. Do some research and investigate!

Army 'Strategic Shock' Report Says Troops May Be Needed To Quell U.S. Civil Unrest
From PrisonPlanet - Wednesday, December 17, 2008
By Steve Watson & Paul Watson

"Purposeful domestic resistance" would require military to "rapidly determine the parameters defining the legitimate use of military force inside the United States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (PrisonPlanet) -- A recent report produced by the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Institute warns that the United States may experience massive civil unrest in the wake of a series of crises which it has termed "strategic shock."

The report, titled Known Unknowns: Unconventional Strategic Shocks in Defense Strategy Development, also suggests that the military may have to be used to quell domestic disorder.

"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security," the report, authored by [Ret.] Lt. Col. Nathan Freir, reads.

"Deliberate employment of weapons of mass destruction or other catastrophic capabilities, unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters are all paths to disruptive domestic shock." it continues.

Bailout payout tops $8 trillion
From politico.com - Tuesday, December 16, 2008
By JEANNE CUMMINGS

As the holiday season commences, it's worth taking stock of the last gift that President George W. Bush and the 110th Congress have left for U.S. taxpayers.

It's a package of about $8.7 trillion dollars' worth of potential taxpayer commitments for loans, guarantees and other bailout goodies for businesses and distressed homeowners.


A quote from WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM:

That's about $100,000 per household.

$100,000

Plus accruing interest.

$100,000

$100,000

Sheesh, if that doesn't make you want to riot, crawl in a hole you are already dead!

Thousands Gather in Georgia to Say "Yes We Can Stop Torture and Close the School of the Americas"
From SOA Watch Media Working Group - Friday, November 21, 2008

PRESS RELEASE forwarded from:
"SOA Watch Media Working Group" "info [at] soaw.org"

News Release: Thousands Gather in Georgia to Say "Yes We Can Stop Torture and Close the School of the Americas"

For immediate release
November 21, 2008

Thousands Gather this Weekend at Fort Benning, Georgia to say: Yes We Can Stop Torture and Close the School of Assassins Advocates for Justice in the Americas Look Forward with Hope

Columbus, GA - Thousands will gather this weekend, November 21-23, at the gates of Fort Benning, GA for what organizers hope may be the last mass protest to close the controversial School of the Americas, renamed Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (SOA/WHINSEC). With 35 Representatives who voted to continue funding the SOA/WHINSEC losing their seats in Congress on November 4th, human rights advocates have their sights set on pressuring the new Congress to permanently shut down the school in 2009. The last vote to defund the SOA/WHINSEC, in 2007, lost by a margin of only six votes.

Every November, the annual 'Vigil to Close the SOA/WHINSEC' draws thousands of people to the gates of Ft. Benning, the army base which houses the facility. Organizers hope to make the most out of the changing political climate that was revealed during this year's elections. "We feel qualified optimism," said SOA Watch founder Fr. Roy Bourgeois. "The American people have rejected the Bush Administration's policies of aggression, war-mongering and torture. By closing this notorious school of assassins now, Obama and the new Congress can show the world that we genuinely honor human rights." Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, "disappeared," massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the SOA/WHINSEC.

On Sunday, President-elect Barack Obama repeated on 60 Minutes his promise to close Guantánamo and to ensure that U.S. forces not use torture. However, he has yet to offer a clear position on the SOA/WHINSEC, despite the school's long association with torture and human rights abuses. SOA Watch is circulating a petition to the president-elect, urging him to issue an executive order to close the SOA/WHINSEC. Five Latin American countries have already announced their withdrawal from the training facility, citing its history of human rights abuses. SOA Watch believes that closing the SOA/WHINSEC is a pivotal opportunity for the U.S. to improve its relationships in the Western Hemisphere, and to fulfill Obama's stated goal of "regain[ing] America's moral stature in the world."

The vigil will culminate on Sunday, November 23 with a funeral procession to the gates of Ft. Benning. Activists will enter the base in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience. The vigil commemorates the November 16, 1989 massacre in El Salvador of Julia Elba Ramos, her 14-year-old daughter Celina, and six Jesuit priests. They were brutally murdered by a Salvadoran army unit that was led by military officers trained at the SOA. Jon Sobrino, SJ, the Jesuit priest who survived the massacre, will attend this year's vigil.

The School of the Americas made headlines in 1996 when the Pentagon released training manuals used at the school that advocated torture, extortion and execution. The involvement of SOA/WHINSEC graduates in human rights abuses continues. This October, Colombian Army commander General Mario Montoya resigned in the wake of a scandal over army killings of civilians that a UN official called "systematic and widespread." General Montoya not only received training at the SOA, but also taught soldiers as an instructor there. He has been replaced by General Oscar Gonzalez, also an SOA/WHINSEC graduate.

After research revealed that the SOA/WHINSEC continues to train known human rights abusers, and that instructors have been involved in numerous crimes, the Pentagon reacted by classifying the names of all officers, soldiers, and instructors.

Obama's Cabinet: Change or more status quo?
From Democracy Now! - Thursday, November 20, 2008

Is Obama going to provide the change he has promised or is it going to be more of the status quo?

Obama's picks for his cabinet have been plastered all over the news lately. It makes one wonder how we are going to get the change we need with Obama's current selection of cabinet members.

If Obama would appoint members of congress who voted against the war and who have a solid background of going to bat for the general public rather than the corporate elitists, then we will see some change. Otherwise, it would seem logical to expect more of the same policies as from Bush and the Clintons before him.

People seem to forget that former president Bill Clinton paved the way for some of the finacial trouble that we are in now.

Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to Carry Out "Crowd Control"
From AlterNet - Wednesday, October 8, 2008
By Naomi Wolf

VIDEO: Members of Congress were told they could face martial law if they didn't pass the bailout bill. This will not be the last time.

Background: the First Brigade of the Third Infantry Division, three to four thousand soldiers, has been deployed in the United States as of October 1. Their stated mission is the form of crowd control they practiced in Iraq, subduing "unruly individuals," and the management of a national emergency. I am in Seattle and heard from the brother of one of the soldiers that they are engaged in exercises now. Amy Goodman reported that an Army spokesperson confirmed that they will have access to lethal and non lethal crowd control technologies and tanks.

George Bush struck down Posse Comitatus, thus making it legal for military to patrol the U.S. He has also legally established that in the "War on Terror," the U.S. is at war around the globe and thus the whole world is a battlefield. Thus the U.S. is also a battlefield.

America Barely Escapes Permanent Economic Enslavement

View all of these links. You're not going to hear this stuff from the corporate news!

Rules hiding TRILLIONS in American debt: Liability $516,348 per U.S. household - Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Can America seriously afford to bail out the Wall Street Fat Cats in addition to paying off the already overwhelming debt they already owe?

America Says NO Bush Bailout! - On September 25th 2008, progressives came together in 251 emergency rallies in 41 states saying NO to the $700 billion Bush corporate bailout for Wall Street. As a result, the tax giveaway, assumed to be a "done deal" only a few days earlier was stalled and being reconsidered by lawmakers who are stunned by the speed and scale of America's reaction. Instead, Congress turned to work on an economic recovery package for Main Street.

America Says "NO!"

THEY BROKE IT, YOU BUY IT? - George Bush has proposed a Wall Street subsidy that will cost the American people at least $700,000,000,000 to bail out his wealthy investor buddies. That comes out to a TAX of over $2,300 for every man, woman, and child in America. We need to shine a light on any legislator who supports this tax hike to bail out the same Wall Street bankers whose speculation, false accounting, and lies caused this economic catastrophe. And, they need to be held accountable.

Please Help Send Karl Rove to Jail
From Secretary of State Project - Friday, August 8, 2008

In 2004, plans were put into motion to crack down on voter registration drives in poor and minority communities, suppressing votes and stripping citizens of a constitutional right. Evidence points to Karl Rove as the mastermind behind this plan and it's time he was held accountable. Join the Secretary of State Project and thousands of Americans in urging the House to take a stand against Rove today.

Don Hazen
Executive Editor, AlterNet.org


Karl Rove is above the law


Karl Rove has gone too far. It's time to make him pay.

The GOP's master trickster has his fingerprints all over a dirty scheme to suppress our votes. It's exactly the kind of scheme that the Secretary of State Project was formed to fight. And right now, we have a unique chance to hold Rove accountable for his acts.

Click here to help send Karl Rove to jail.

For those not following Rove's story, here's a bit of background. In 2004, Justice Department lawyers started getting strange instructions from Washington -- crack down on voter registration drives. But not all registration drives, mind you; just ones that registered poor and minority voters. The idea was to harass progressive organizations and keep poor and minority citizens from getting to the polls.

Many Justice Department lawyers, Republicans and Democrats alike, balked at these unscrupulous orders. They (rightly) refused to carry out a partisan witch hunt. And wouldn't you know it, Washington started cracking down on THEM -- firing a host of them and passing up others for promotion, in what came to be known as the U.S. Attorneys Scandal.

But who gave the vote-suppression orders in the first place? All signs point to Karl Rove. A long trail of evidence indicates that Rove cooked up and executed the whole scheme. To uncover the truth, the House of Representatives has launched an investigation. They sent Rove a subpoena. He ignored it. Repeatedly.

Now, the House is considering a measure to hold Rove in contempt of Congress. Last Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee voted, 20-14, to hold Rove in contempt. The vote now goes to the full House. If found guilty, he could go to jail. No, it's not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start.

Join hundreds of thousands of Americans urging the House to take a stand against Rove and his dirty tricks.

By holding Rove in contempt, we'll send a loud and clear signal to all Bush's cronies -- America's elections must be free and fair. Voter suppression will not be tolerated.

After you sign the petition, consider making a contribution to the Secretary of State Project and our candidates. Support from donors like you helped us raise $500,000 in 2006 and win 5 of our 7 elections. Help us continue building the movement against voter suppression, stolen elections and dirty tricksters like Karl Rove.

No War on Iran! Why the US has targeted Iran
From Fire This Time - Sunday, July 6, 2008
By Ali Yerevani

In July 1989 an American navy ship, the USS Vincennes, shot down an Iranian civilian plane, killing all 290 passengers and the crew in hopes of provoking Iran for a large scale confrontation. In January 2002, George Bush in his State of the Union speech referred to Iran --as well as N.Korea and Iraq- as part of an "axis of evil," saying the country is actively pursuing weapons of mass destruction. In 2006 US Congress appropriated $75 million to the State Department to use towards "democracy building" in Iran. This is was a turning point for how the US ruling class has finalized its war drive against Iran. Since October 2006, the US has been carrying out a massive military build up in the Persian Gulf. Provocations, Sanctions and military build up are all about a war drive. Without a doubt the US is preparing for a vicious military attack on Iran.

U.S. Imperialist Agenda and the Deepening Crisis in Iraq
From Fire This Time - Sunday, July 6, 2008
By Alison Bodine

September 3rd was the last time US President George Bush set foot on Iraqi soil, bloodied and wrecked after over 4 years of US occupation. At this time he had a few words to share with the people of Iraq and the world:

"When we begin to draw down troops from Iraq, it will be from a position of strength and success, not from the position of fear and failure."

For the people of Iraq who have endured an estimated 1.2 million deaths (UK-based ORB polling agency), and countless humiliations since the March 2003 military invasion, the idea of ever seeing the US leave seems distant or impossible, let alone from a position of "success" and "strength." The US has a long-term plan for their continued occupation of Iraq and it includes continued death and destruction for the people of Iraq and a rising massive humanitarian crisis.

How the US is turning Iraq into a permanent military base

In a declaration of principles signed by George Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on November 26th 2007 the ground work was laid for a long-term agreement on future cooperation between the US and Iraq. In the political, economic and security (military) sphere the US and the installed Iraqi Prime Minister are starting to plan for an "enduring" relationship to last well into the future. The plan will include United States support for the "democratic regime in Iraq against domestic and external dangers," according to Al-Maliki. It also includes plans to protect the US-drafted Iraqi constitution, give preferential treatment to US investments and continued support for a strategic partnership. This is the beginnings of their plans for "enduring" occupation.

Another part of continued US presence in Iraq are the 14 "enduring" (read: permanent) bases whose construction began as soon as the US invaded. These bases are long-term encampments for US forces in Iraq and outposts for military and government policy advisors that will remain in Iraq beyond any troop withdrawal or formal end to the occupation of Iraq.

To compliment US bases and the continued occupation, the US has also built a $740Million Embassy in Iraq, the largest in the world. It will eventually staff an estimated 4,000 regular employees, contractors, local Iraqi employees and visitors. It will also house 619 apartments and 27 separate buildings behind the well-secured walls of the "Green Zone" in Baghdad and serve as the main base for representing US interests in Iraq.

After 4 and a half years of occupation the US has not established anything close to stability or the assurance of a successful US proxy regime in Iraq. They know that after a troop withdrawal there will be an internal struggle in Iraq and that it is very possible that its' outcome will not be in favour of the US. As an insurance plan for all the work they have done to fuel US interests in Iraq, they now have the military bases and US Embassy at their back.

Mercenaries and Continued Occupation

Continued US presence in Iraq would not be possible without the assistance of 120,000 mercenaries in Iraq, the contract employees of military corporations such as Blackwater USA, DynCorp International and Armor Group. According to US "Order 17", issued in 2004, all mercenaries operating in Iraq are exempt from obeying Iraqi law. In this way mercenaries are allowed to operate without rule of law or accountability to anyone, except the corporations that employ them. This has meant numerous tragedies, with the lives and dignities of Iraqi people disappearing under the radar.

After a September 16th shooting in which 17 Iraqi civilians were needlessly killed by a Blackwater guard in a Baghdad square, this provision and the legal loop-hole allowing them to escape charges under US law came under fire from people internationally. As a way to avoid further embarrassment and scrutiny the US government signed a new agreement in December 2007. This agreement means that contract mercenaries are now accountable under US law. Unfortunately, this still does not mean that they will be charged and they are still not held accountable under Iraqi law.

Human Crisis: Daily Life in Iraq

Over the past four years of US-led occupation, the human crisis has deepened in Iraq. Iraqi woman and children have felt the greatest impact from the presence of hundreds of thousands of foreign military troops taking away their basic human rights to housing, food, water, education and a future with guns, bombs and tanks.

According to the Iraq Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, over 1.6 million children under the age of 12 have become homeless in Iraq. This is almost 70 percent of the 2.2 million homeless and internally displaced persons in Iraq. To make the situation even worse, internally displaced Iraqi's are not finding the infrastructure and basic aid that they need anywhere in Iraq. As one example, the Basra province in Southern Iraq can no longer handle families and children seeking refuge. A senior Iraqi official in the Basra Governing Council, Hassan Abdul-Kareem, explained to IRIN News Service. "We cannot cope with any more families seeking refuge in our province, whatever their reasons. The governorate is seriously affected by the high number of displaced families, health services have deteriorated, schools are overcrowded and we aren't even able to offer a good service to our locals. Things have become worse since the high influx of new arrivals,"

The situation has also deteriorated for girls hoping to attend school in Iraq. Families and mothers are worried about sending their girls to school for fear that they will be raped or killed. They are also needed to stay at home as one-million families are now headed by widows whose husbands have been killed by the occupation and the violence it has created (Aljazeera News: "Debating the US troop 'surge').

The Heavy Costs of the Occupation

Everyday the US spends $280Million towards death and destruction in Iraq. According to the American Friends Services Committee, a US based peace and justice organization, if you include not just the immediate costs of the war, but also ongoing factors such as long-term health care for veterans, interest on debt and replacement of military hardware, that number grows to $720Million a day. The American Friends Services Committee also broke down these numbers into what the money could have bought for social service in the US including: homes for almost 6,500 families or health care for 423,529 children, or could outfit 1.27 million homes with renewable electricity. The US-Congressional report entitled "The Hidden Costs of the Iraq War," stated the cast of the war from 2002 to present as being $1.3Trillion.

Not only does this money mean the destruction of civil society and human life in Iraq, it has also been another part of the deepening economic crisis in the US. This crisis has been marked most recently by the devaluation of the US dollar, the crisis in mortgage and the banking market and the continued growth of poverty in the US. The crisis that the US has created in Iraq is directly tied to the crisis in the US and the disgusting amount of money spent to fuel death and destruction.

Resistance to the occupation: in Iraq and World-wide

For over four years the US has been relying on its' consolidation of the occupation to demoralize the Iraqi people, and the movement of resistance against their continued presence in Iraq. Contrary to their hopes, the number of demonstrations, strikes and attacks on occupying forces has increased drastically as the occupation has continued. The US is now confronted with a deep political, social and military crisis. This is why they need permanent presence in Iraq. This is also why the people of Iraq will keep fighting any way that they can for their land, lives and dignity.

The continued struggle of the Iraqi people against the occupation and the US crisis in Iraq has also meant that its own enlisted fighters, the US military forces, are demoralizing. US Army suicide rates are at a record high of 18.4 per 100,000 active duty soldiers, according to military reports. A CBS News investigation also showed that military veterans aged 20-24, meaning those whom have served during the so-called "War on Terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan, had the highest suicide rate among all veterans, estimated between two and four times higher than civilians the same age. The US cannot fight without a willing army, and suicides rates are only one of the signs that the US is loosing ground with the troops.

If the Iraqi's kick the US out of Iraq it will mean a weakening of the position of the US and Israel that would accelerate the struggle of people all over the Middle East against Imperialism. In this new era of war and occupation which emerged as the "War on Terror" following Sept 11th 2001, we must come together as poor and working people against the occupation of Iraq. As peace and human loving people, we have no other choice but to work to build a united and effective antiwar movement to end this brutal war and echo the demands of the Iraqi people for life and self-determination!

US Out Now!

Bring the Troops Home Now!

Self-determination for all oppressed nations!

United States attempts to Weaken Mexican Sovereignty
Thursday, June 12, 2008
By Your-Rights.com

The United States Congress passed a bill, 311-106, to help Mexico crack down on the illegal drug trade and the cartels behind it. however, there is one small catch...

The Mexican government is opposing the anti-drug trafficking aid in the bill because of requirements in it that Mexico says interfere with its sovereignty!

This in and of its self might not be all that bad, however, considering all the fuss about a proposed North American Union (which some say is a farce), this is just one more peice of evidence to say it exists.

On top of all those references in the last link, Canada just showed a film on the CBC entitled, The Trojan Horse which was a fictional account of the all to real activities of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP).

There is also a huge wealth of information about the North American Union at Wikipedia.

An autopsy was performed as part of what seems to be part of an Army CID investigation of a detainee. The medical examiner said the cause of death was HOMICIDE!


To quote the medical examiner from the autopsy report:
''This 47-year-old White male, [redacted], died of blunt force injuries and asphyxia. The autopsy disclosed multiple blunt force injuries, including deep contusions of the chest wall, numerous displaced rib fractures, lung contusions, and hemorrhage into the mesentery of the small and large intestine. An examination of the neck structures revealed hemorrhage into the strap muscles and fractures of the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone. According to the investigative report provided by U.S. Army CID, the decedent was shackled to the top of a doorframe with a gag in his mouth at the time he lost consciousness and became pulseless.

''The severe blunt force injuries, the hanging position, and the obstruction of the oral cavity with a gag contributed to this individual's death. The manner of death is homicide.''

This autopsy report by its self is very disturbing. And on top of that autopsy report, we have George W. Bush admitting he not only knew WHAT WAS GOING ON, but that key administration officials discussed specific torture techniques.

George W. Bush ADMITS he approved torture!



Bush: "I Was Aware" of Harsh Tactics (cached)
ABC News
President Bush says he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details about how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to an exclusive interview with ABC News Friday.

"Well, we started to connect the dots, in order to protect the American people." Bush told ABC New's White House correspondent Martha Raddatz. "And, yes, I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved."


What makes me the most angry about this whole mess...

Ron Suskind: White House ordered forgery to link al-Qaeda/Saddam to 9/11 attacks

The FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11 (search)

NO LINK has been found between al Qaeda and Iraq before we invaded. (search)

George W. Bush tells a reporter that Iraq had "NOTHING" to do with the World Trade Center 9/11 attacks. (video)

U.S. and Allied Intelligence Services Had Penetrated The Highest Levels of Al Qaeda Prior to 9/11
(search) (old link)

BUSH DID NOT LIE! There WAS a connection between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein! The connection was the BUSH FAMILY!!!



So... The REAL Terrorists attacked on 9/11. George W. Bush used these attacks to ILLEGALLY invade a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Then George W. Bush captures the people who tried to protect their country from his illegal invasion.

Then... George W. Bush imprisons these INNOCENT people with no charges, no access to an attorney, no Habeas Corpus.

THEN, George W. Bush authorizes innocent people to be tortured for information about ties to al Qaeda that didn't even exist before our illegal invasion!

Then the C.I.A. DESTROYS THE EVIDENCE OF TORTURE as a Judge Sought Interrogation Data!


All of this torture, George W. Bush says, is to ''protect'' the American people from the al Qaeda threat that didn't even exist before Bush invaded Iraq!

So, after knowing all of this, why hasn't the United States Congress STARTED IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS?

Maybe it is because THEY ARE MAKING TO MUCH MONEY FROM THE WAR!

Loose NUKES: Secret ILLEGAL U.S. Government Backroom Deals
From Let Sibel Edmonds Speak - Sunday, January 27, 2008
By lukery

"What I found was damning" - "While the FBI was investigating, several arms of the government were shielding what was going on." -- Sibel Edmonds

This article will really open your eyes to how the major media companies in the United States are NOT doing their jobs!!! As you read the Times articles, just think about what you DID NOT HEAR ABOUT in the U.S. media!

This information isn't hidden away inside some secret report somewhere, it is PRINTED in the UK Times, a MAJOR International NEWSPAPER.

Can the U.S. media not find this information or are they purposefully keeping Americans in the dark as to what is going on within the U.S. Government?!?! You know the answer! Please write a letter to the editor of your paper to make more people aware!


Check out these quotes from the UK Times article:
Part of the article reads: Sibel Edmonds "said she heard evidence that one well-known senior official in the US State Department was being paid by Turkish agents in Washington who were selling the information on to black market buyers, including Pakistan."

Sibel Edmonds said "He was aiding foreign operatives against US interests by passing them highly classified information, not only from the State Department but also from the Pentagon, in exchange for money, position and political objectives."

Sibel Edmonds also said, "If you made public all the information that the FBI have on this case, you will see very high-level people going through criminal trials."

"What I found was damning," Sibel Edmonds said. "While the FBI was investigating, several arms of the government were shielding what was going on."


This article was published in the UK Times just three days after our previous article discussing Sibel Edmonds!

Abdul Qadeer Khan (a.k.a. A.Q. Kahn) is a person in the middle of the nuclear proliferation of the Middle East.

PROOF: Plans for North American Union (NAU) are REAL
Monday, January 21, 2008
By Your-Rights.com

On January 22, 2007, Rep. Virgil H. Goode, Jr. introduced H.CON.RES.40 titled "Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada."

This bill has 43 co-sponsors.

After campaigning to have the North American Union artlcle restored in Wikipedia, it is back! Thanks to all who helped!

Alex jones and his crew has compiled a long list of news articles that mention the North American Union.

We have witnessed a congressional bill describing the North American Union. We have Alex Jones' huge list of news articles about it, yet people still won't believe it is real!

Professor Robert Pastor says the North American Union is JUST A CRISIS AWAY.
Pastor "believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada."

"The memoirs of Jean Monnet, regarded as the architect of European unity, finally disclosed he had used a strategy of deceit, knowing his plan to form a European Union would never succeed if it were openly disclosed."

( Dr. Robert A. Pastor served as co-chair and a member of the 2005 Council on Foreign Relations' Independent Task Force on the Future of North America.)

Now that you know who Dr. Robert A. Pastor is, do you believe what he is saying?

If ANYONE on this planet knows about what is going on, this is the person!

Rep. Cynthia McKiney said that she believes the Federal Government is controlled by a criminal syndicate. This might sound like a conspiracy theory, until you EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE!

"Seat belt legislation started with child-restraint laws, then secondary enforcement, and finally a full-on mandate in the majority of states. Why does this legislative escalation occur? It's simple. The federal government just incentivizes their proposal so that each state, and by extension its citizens, feel like they have no choice but to go along with their program."

Tell Congress to Overturn the FCC's New Rules
From StopBigMedia.com - Friday, December 21, 2007

On December 18th, 2007, the FCC voted 3-2 along party lines to gut the longstanding "newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership" ban that prohibits a local newspaper from owning TV and radio stations in the same market. Our research has shown that this decision will mean less local news, less diverse perspectives and less competition in our country's media system. The FCC approved new rules that will unleash a flood of media consolidation across America. The new rules will further consolidate local media markets -- taking away independent voices in cities already woefully short on local news and investigative journalism. Congress has the power to throw out these rules -- and if hundreds of thousands of people demand it, they'll have to listen. Sign the open letter to Congress urging them to stop the FCC and stand with the public interest.

ACLU: Bush's wiretap bill violates Fourth Amendment
From RAW STORY - Tuesday, December 4, 2007
By Adam Doster

The Senate plans to take up legislation as early as this week to rein in the Bush Administration's spying powers by reforming the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Caroline Fredrickson, director of the Washington Legislative Office of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), says that when Congress rushed through wiretapping legislation this past August, they made a grave mistake.

"The Administration bill basically writes August's mistake in stone," she wrote in a press release Tuesday. "It does nothing to protect Americans' communications and violates the Fourth Amendment requirement that courts supervise any spying on American soil."



"The surveillance program began in February of 2001. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks of 9/11. These phone companies are cooperating with the government, not out of a sense of patriotism, but because they're being paid to do so. They're profiteers, not patriots.

"If the Congress grants these companies retroactive immunity it will mean they have no regard for the rule of law they took an oath to uphold. I've taken no oaths. The rule of law will mean absolutely nothing to me if this comes to pass."

Impeachment: If not now, when?
From Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Saturday, November 24, 2007
By LINDA BOYD

Lawmakers need to stand up for the Constitution and support impeachment

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. -- Article II, Section 4

On Nov. 6, Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney on the floor of the House of Representatives. For one shining moment the will of the majority of Americans and the promise of this nation's founders were truly represented.

The detailed charges were solemnly read from the House podium and televised on C-Span. House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer made a motion to table the bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lobbied hard for votes to table.

In a stunning turnaround, House Republicans changed strategy and voted decisively to prevent tabling the impeachment resolution.

Pelosi was defied by 85 Democratic members who voted against tabling the impeachment resolution. This includes John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and six committee members. The resolution was quickly voted back to the Judiciary Committee, where it is not resting quietly.

Judiciary Committee member Bob Wexler wrote, "The American people are served well with a legitimate and thorough impeachment inquiry. I will urge the Judiciary Committee to schedule impeachment hearings immediately and not let this issue languish as it has over the last six months. Only through hearings can we begin to correct the abuses of Dick Cheney and the Bush administration."

Impeachment is squarely on the table, and momentum is building. A year ago, almost no elected official breathed the word impeachment. Now impeachment has hit the House floor, and our electeds have gone on record. Millions of Americans are demanding an end to executive abuse of power.

After six years of state of emergency, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, continual war and occupations, our Constitution is deeply in crisis. Americans are in danger of losing our system of government and civil rights if they do not roll back the Bush administration's assault on the rule of law.

Allowing Cheney and George W. Bush to finish their terms without being impeached means future presidents are free to copy their lawless behavior. Of course many important issues deserve the attention of Congress. But the Constitution is the foundation of our democracy, not just an issue. Without the Constitution, we have nothing.

Polls show that 74 percent of Democrats and the majority of American adults support impeaching Cheney. "Never in our history have the high crimes and misdemeanors been so flagrant, and the people of our country know it," writes local author Richard Behan.

Kucinich has targeted Cheney first, but investigations will implicate the president as well. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50 percent of respondents say they "strongly disapprove" of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48 percent, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974. With these numbers, why aren't Bush and Cheney gone already?

The vice president is accused of:

  • purposely manipulating intelligence to fabricate a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in order to justify an attack on Iraq;

  • deceiving Congress about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida;

  • threatening aggression against the Republic of Iran, absent any real threat to the United States.


These violations of the Constitution and international treaty are just the tip of the iceberg. More articles of impeachment can be added at any time, and ample evidence to convict is on the public record. Representatives need to introduce articles regarding:

  • illegal war, in violation of both international treaty and the Constitution;

  • widespread domestic wiretapping in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a felony. Bush already has admitted to this;

  • condoning torture in violation of federal laws and international treaties;

  • rescinding habeas corpus, the cornerstone of Western law since the Magna Carta;

  • obstruction of justice regarding U.S. attorney firings;

  • subversion of the Constitution, abuse of signing statements and rescinding habeas corpus.


It's astounding that our representatives to Congress carry on with business as usual knowing that Americans lack habeas corpus and a working code of law. I want my representative, Dave Reichert, to block the doors of the House until habeas is restored as a basic human right in this nation!

In light of Bush's steady drumbeat for war with Iran, Kucinich said he will consider an impeachment resolution against him.

"Impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran," he says.

"The most conservative principle of the Founding Fathers was distrust of unchecked power. Centuries of experience substantiated that absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Constitution embraced a separation of powers to keep the legislative, executive and judicial branches in equilibrium," Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer and associate deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration, said in the October 2006 edition of Washington Monthly.

If Congress were serious about oversight, there already would be dozens of bills and resolutions calling for impeachment of Bush and Cheney. The "Unitary Executive Theory" violates the principle of balance of power in the Constitution. The president cites this "unitary" power in hundreds of signing statements that say he can ignore laws passed by Congress.

The First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments are all now subject to the caprice of government officials. The Military Commissions Act allows U.S. citizens to be detained without due process if they are declared enemy combatants. Without our permission, this country has become an exporter of torture.

Congress has failed to provide oversight and exercise its authority to rein in a criminal administration. Only swift action on impeachment can redeem it now. The people have done the heavy work of bringing impeachment forward. Representatives need only ask if the allegations are serious enough to warrant investigations.

George Bush and Dick Cheney promote an imperial presidency. They assert that the executive is the most powerful branch of government, undermining the judiciary and Congress in violation of the Constitution's bedrock principle of shared power among three co-equal branches. This subverts the very nature of our system of government.

"This is an attempt by the president to have the final word on his own constitutional powers, which eliminates the checks and balances that keep the country a democracy. ... That's a big problem because that's essentially a dictatorship," Fein said.

Washington For Impeachment and Citizens to Impeach Bush and Cheney are working to inform the public, collect signatures to petitions, provide forums, and lobby representatives. Washington was the second state to sponsor a bill for impeachment in the state Legislature.

Washington State Democratic organizations have passed resolutions in 11 Democratic legislative districts, five counties and the Washington State Democratic Central Committee. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, has received impeachment resolutions from almost every legislative district within his congressional district. When will he represent the will of his constituents and honor his oath to protect the Constitution?

The national movement to impeach is a non-partisan effort to restore the Constitution and the rule of law. People across the political spectrum can unite to preserve the Constitution and civil liberties given to us by the founders. Impeachment is the peaceful, orderly, constitutionally prescribed way to rid ourselves of a lawless administration.

The issue is not about removing Bush and Cheney as much as it is about preserving the Constitution and redeeming the office of the executive. The Constitution is the contract of governance between the people and the government. What happens when major portions of the contract are violated?

Congress has failed to call the president and vice president to account, so citizens must turn up the heat. Members of Congress who fail to demand investigations are covering for criminals. Every elected official has sworn an oath to "support and protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic." Anything less than impeachment and a full repudiation of the Bush administration's crimes and violations of the law is a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the public trust.

If we want our democracy back, we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work to clean out the House.

Sibel Edmonds Will Now Tell All - And Face Charges If Necessary - To Any Major Media Television Network That Will Let Her
From 911blogger.com - Monday, October 29, 2007
By Brad Friedman

Attention CBS 60 Minutes: we've got a huge scoop for you. If you want it.

Remember the exclusive story you aired on Sibel Edmonds, originally on October 27th, 2002, when she was not allowed to tell you everything that she heard while serving as an FBI translator after 9/11 because she was gagged by the rarely-invoked "States Secret Privilege"? Well, she's still gagged. In fact, as the ACLU first described her, she's "the most gagged person in the history of the United States of America".

But if you'll sit down and talk with her for an unedited interview, she has now told The BRAD BLOG during an exclusive interview, she will now tell you everything she knows.

Everything she hasn't been allowed to tell since 2002, about the criminal penetration of the FBI where she worked, and at the Departments of State and Defense; everything she heard concerning the corruption and illegal activities of several well-known members of Congress; everything she's aware of concerning information omitted and/or covered up in relation to 9/11. All of the information gleaned from her time listening to and translating wire-taps made prior to 9/11 at the FBI.

George W. Bush's SCREW THE KIDS Act PASSED
From Your-Rights.com - Friday, October 19, 2007

I can picture it now, George W. Bush sitting in a chair, wearing his bath robe and slippers, smoking a cigarette with a very satisfied smile on face knowing how well he has screwed the children!!!

George W. Bush and the Grand Old Perverts have found a way to screw more kids than a trailer park full of pedophiles!

Congress narrowly passed George W. Bush's SCREW THE KIDS Act by a 13 vote margin. The Act is similar to the NO CHILDS BEHIND LEFT Act, but screws kids in a different way.

Among other things, the SCREW THE CHILDREN Act, makes it almost mandatory that over 7 million vulnerable kids don't receive healthcare. The message from George W. Bush and Congress to these kids: "Don't even think about getting sick because if you do, YOUR SCREWED!!!"

I can't wait to see what other clever ways George W. Bush will come up with next to make sure vulnerable kids all over America get screwed!

Kucinich campaign is awaiting ABC News explanations for its actions
From dennis4president.com - Tuesday, August 21, 2007

The Kucinich campaign is still awaiting an official response from ABC News about the unexplained - some have charged "inexplicable" - way in which the network has handled its post-debate online coverage of Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich over the past few days.

Among the "outrages" that have energized tens of thousands of Kucinich supporters - and even non-supporters - thousands of whom have flooded the ABC News website and other online news sites with comments of protest:

  • Congressman Kucinich was apparently deliberately cropped out of a "Politics Page" photo of the candidates.

  • Sometime Monday afternoon, after Congressman Kucinich took a commanding lead in ABC's own on-line "Who won the Democratic debate" survey, the survey was dropped from prominence on the website.

  • ABC News has not officially reported the results of its online survey.

  • After the results of that survey showed Congressman Kucinich winning handily, ABC News, sometime Monday afternoon, replaced the original survey with a second survey asking "Who is winning the Democratic debate?"

  • During the early voting Monday afternoon and evening, U.S. Senator Barack Obama was in the lead. By sometime late Monday or early Tuesday morning, Congressman Kucinich regained the lead by a wide margin in this second survey.

  • Sometime Tuesday morning, ABC News apparently dropped the second survey from prominence or killed it entirely.

  • AND, as every viewer of the nationally televised Sunday Presidential forum is aware, Congressman Kucinich was not given an opportunity to answer a question from moderator George Stephanopoulos until 28 minutes into the program.

The Kucinich campaign submitted objections and inquiries to ABC News representatives on Monday and Tuesday. ABC News representatives have failed to respond - or even acknowledge - those objections and inquiries.

If you don't participate in this project to help drive Bush out of office, I just don't want to even imagine what will happen! SERIOUSLY!!! What Harm Can Bush Do Before His Term Is Up???? THINK ABOUT IT!!!

And, yes, this is LEGAL because you are not sending or soliciting for money.

Send the info you are reading here to 10 people. They send it to 10 people, etc, etc. until 50 Million people have seen it and are going to write Congress. Pretty simple actually.

What you may not realize, however, is this requires that  YOU  participate and mail this info to 10 of your friends and relatives (more than 10 would be even better!) and make sure that they do the same.

The fact that you are reading this says that chances are good you want Bush out of our Government as badly as millions of other Americans and millions of other people from all around the world!

Please help make this a reality! Help the world by driving Bush out of office! Write it down and don't forget to have 10 (or more) of your friends and family members do the same thing.

It is critical that you help as soon as humanly possible so that 50 million people can be reached in order that they can all send letters on Augist 18, 2007!
