Allen L Roland's Radio Weblog
My ongoing theme is always the truth , as I see it , and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

ROVE TO BE INDICTED / CHENEY NEXT

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own: H.G. Wells

Karl Rove will be indicted by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald ~ related to his role in the CIA leak case and it appears very likely that an obstruction charge against Rove will be included with charges of perjury and lying to investigators .
 
Rest assured, Fitzgerald's sights are now aimed at Dick Cheney whose finger prints are all over every abuse of power, lie and deception of the Cheney/Bush administration for the past four years.
 
Evidently, according to Jason Leopold, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.
 
All of this in the wake of a recent OpEdNews/Zogby People's poll of Non Fox News Viewers, where 64% support Censure of George W Bush, and 75% Want Cheney Impeachment Investigation Started.

Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators

By Jason Leopold

http://informationclearinghouse.info/article13038.htm

05/13/06 "
t r u t h o u t" -- -- Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.

During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.

Robert Luskin, Rove's attorney, did not return a call for comment. Sources said Fitzgerald was in Washington, DC, Friday and met with Luskin for about 15 hours to go over the charges against Rove, which include perjury and lying to investigators about how and when Rove discovered that Valerie Plame Wilson was a covert CIA operative and whether he shared that information with reporters, sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said.

It was still unknown Saturday whether Fitzgerald charged Rove with a more serious obstruction of justice charge.
Sources close to the case said Friday that it appeared very likely that an obstruction charge against Rove would be included with charges of perjury and lying to investigators.

An announcement by Fitzgerald is expected to come this week, sources close to the case said. However, the day and time is unknown. Randall Samborn, a spokesman for the special prosecutor was unavailable for comment. In the past, Samborn said he could not comment on the case.

The grand jury hearing evidence in the Plame Wilson case met Friday on other matters while Fitzgerald spent the entire day at Luskin's office. The meeting was a closely guarded secret and seems to have taken place without the knowledge of the media.

As TruthOut reported Friday evening, Rove told President Bush and Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, as well as a few other high level administration officials, that he will be indicted in the CIA leak case and will immediately resign his White House job when the special counsel publicly announces the charges against him, according to sources.

Details of Rove's discussions with the president and Bolten have spread through the corridors of the White House, where low-level staffers and senior officials were trying to determine how the indictment would impact an administration that has been mired in a number of high-profile political scandals for nearly a year, said a half-dozen White House aides and two senior officials who work at the Republican National Committee.

Speaking on condition of anonymity Friday night, sources confirmed Rove's indictment was imminent. These individuals requested anonymity saying they were not authorized to speak publicly about Rove's situation. A spokesman in the White House press office said they would not comment on "wildly speculative rumors."

Rove's announcement to President Bush and Bolten comes more than a month after he alerted the new chief of staff to a meeting his attorney had with Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in which Fitzgerald told Luskin that his case against Rove would soon be coming to a close and that he was leaning toward charging Rove with perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to investigators, according to sources close to the investigation.

A few weeks after he spoke with Fitzgerald, Luskin arranged for Rove to return to the grand jury for a fifth time to testify in hopes of fending off an indictment related to Rove's role in the CIA leak, sources said.

That meeting was followed almost immediately by an announcement by newly-appointed White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten of changes in the responsibilities of some White House officials, including Rove, who was stripped of his policy duties and would no longer hold the title of deputy White House chief of staff.

The White House said Rove would focus on the November elections and his change in status in no way reflected his fifth appearance before the grand jury or the possibility of an indictment.

But since Rove testified two weeks ago, the White House has been coordinating a response to what is sure to be the biggest political scandal it has faced thus far: the loss of a key political operative who has been instrumental in shaping White House policy on a wide range of domestic issues.

Rove testified that he first found out about Plame Wilson from reading a newspaper report in July 2003 and only after the story was published did he share damaging information about her CIA status with other reporters.

However, evidence has surfaced during the course of the two-year-old investigation that shows Rove spoke with at least two reporters about Plame Wilson prior to the publication of the column.

The explanation Rove provided to the grand jury - that he was dealing with more urgent White House matters and therefore forgot - has not convinced Fitzgerald that Rove has been entirely truthful in his testimony and resulted in the indictment.

Some White House staffers said it's the uncertainty of Rove's status in the leak case that has made it difficult for the administration's domestic policy agenda and that the announcement of an indictment and Rove's subsequent resignation, while serious, would allow the administration to move forward on a wide range of issues.

"We need to start fresh and we can't do that with the uncertainty of Karl's case hanging over our heads," said one White House aide. "There's no doubt that it will be front page news if and when (an indictment) happens. But eventually it will become old news quickly. The key issue here is that the president or Mr. Bolten respond to the charges immediately, make a statement and then move on to other important policy issues and keep that as the main focus going forward."

MEMORIES OF MY MOTHER 
 
                         Allen L Roland
 
 
 
My mother died suddenly in 1987 in Connecticut.
 
She appeared sitting on my bed at that moment in
Sonoma, California ~ just as I was
falling asleep.
 
I could feel her deep love for me and she
whispered ~ Allen, I know
Allen, I know
 
I fell asleep saying to myself ~ that can't be
my mother.
 
Two days later ~ I learned of her death
from my brother and I realized that I
had an after-death experience with
my mother.
 
50% of Americans have had such an
experience with a loved one ~ according
to Gallup .
 
My mother had read my Unified Field Theory
atleast a month before she died ~
so she must have been telling me that
she now knew what I knew. 
 
The Unified Field is, in essence, a state of
love and soul consciousness that exists
not only beyond time and space
but also
beneath our deepest fears. 
 
What an incredible act of love from my
mother ~ from beyond death and obviously
in a joyful state of soul consciousness. 
 
When I went back to Boston for my mothers
funeral ~ I decided to share the loving
and joyful moments I experienced with my
mother. 
 
I remember lying outside my mothers door before
I could walk and wondering why my mother
was crying inside ~ and wanting somehow to
help her.
 
I remember sitting on my mothers lap for a picture
with my twin brother, at four years old, and realizing how extraordinarily  beautiful my mother was ~ she looked
like Greta Garbo.
 
I remember the last time my mother spanked me
with a hairbrush when I was probably seven or
eight years old ~ the hairbrush broke in half
and we both burst into a spontaneous laughter
that literally brought us to our knees.
 
I remember her playing the piano with myself
standing behind her ~ my hands on her shoulders  
while I sang the words of the old standards she
loved to play.
 
Songs like That Old Black Magic , As time goes by and
 
Those were magic moments and, in some ways, we bonded through the music we played and sang together.
 
Two of those songs are on my CD which is under BOOK & CD AUDIO on my website www.allenroland.com 
 
About ten years before she died she shared with me a reoccurring dream from childhood ~ which still haunted her . The dream was a young blonde haired little girl running free in a meadow and laughing in delight. I told her that the little girl was herself and the dream represented her deep desire to reconnect with that same childhood state of love, joy and soul consciousness.
 
She said that it was too late for her ~ but the sad reality was that she was getting too many secondary benefits for being a victim and martyr . 
 
So, obviously my most precious memory of my mother was when
she came to me after she died ~ for it was only then that the
shackles of her victimhood had finally been released ~ it was only then that I could truly feel her profound love for me  ~  as well as her joyous need to share with me her new awareness of this state of soul consciousness deepest within herself  ~  
 
She was finally once again laughing and running
free in that meadow 
 
Allen , I know
    Allen, I know ...
