Today’s Topic: How All the Lies Now Come Together
This is going to be a long one, so you decide whether you wish to read further.
After 6 years of a Bush presidency, I think it is possible to now tie all the lies and actions of this administration together and come up with a comprehensive description of the design to take America into the new Imperialistic Millennia. However, I’m going to have to bring up a number of my other blogs in order to clearly describe the events as I saw them at the time, and how those perspectives have led me to my analysis. Either I pull up older blog references or I have to restate all the information contained within those blogs, and that wouldn’t be very readable.
First, shortly after 9/11 I offered on the web (prior to my blog) that America would become more like the terrorists whilst the terrorists become more like America. This has been proven true time and time again, for it makes no difference if one is to strap on explosives and kill a bunch of strangers, or if the American military bombs an Afghani wedding ceremony. The bombs still go off and the dead still end up a bloody mess on the ground. There is no differentiation between the dead killed by American declared terrorists, and those dead killed by American bombs. The dead are just as dead, and the living have to live with that knowledge. While I will admit that the intention is a governing factor, if indeed intention were a MAJOR factor, there would be no collateral dead from American actions, whilst the terrorists would be easily seen as terrorists.
The point isn’t to say that America is perpetrating terrorist bombings upon either the Afghani or Iraqi people purposely. But the crassness with which America can accept collateral damage leaves those who survive to believe that terrorist actions have taken their loved ones. Grief is a tremendous incentive for getting even.
If Saddam Hussein, who’s government never committed an act of terrorism against the United States, could be considered a terrorist supporting regime, then one would have to suppose that the history of the US should come into play for the entire world to determine whether our pronouncement of terrorism is the pot calling the kettle black or not. Now I'm not saying that Hussein wasn't one to promote terrorism by paying Palestinian parents of terrorists money for their loss, but that would be a fine point of semantics. Hussein didn't necessarily declare that he would support terrorism, but he certainly let it be known that those left behind by those who perpetrated terrorist attacks upon the jewish people of Israel would be monetarily compensated. One then only has spin to decide whether Saddam had compassion for the survivors, or surreptisiously chose to breed more terrorists whose only thought was to provide their parents and siblings with something more than they currently had. Pretty insiduous, but nothing different than our current government. The only difference is our government depends on greed to garner betrayal and it is not working in the Muslim world.
In other words, our true actions should speak louder than our words or our money, particularly when espoused by a regime within a Constitutional government of a representative democracy.
However, to try to keep this tome from becoming a book length project, let us just start at the beginning. On December 13th, 2000, George W. Bush was pronounced President by default. Yes, it was default of the Supreme Court, who in a 5 to 4 decision, decided that the recount of Florida presidential elections were to diverse to offer everyone their vote, so the Supreme Court voted for the citizens of Florida. Surprisingly enough, the reason given was that there were too many disparate methods of counting votes throughout the state and since there was no specific standardization, the votes counted couldn’t be guaranteed to be representative of the citizen’s votes.
Certainly this leads to one major problem in that Florida had been voting for Presidents for just as many years as any of the original colonies, and suddenly their votes couldn’t count because they weren’t counted the same across the board?
Now as strange as this seems, there hasn’t been one federal legislation passed since this determination to guarantee that each citizen’s vote counts the same as anyone else’s, and herein lies one of the faults for Bush’s second election. For if standardization is necessary across the voting districts, then why is this ruling not being applied to all the states in the country? When desegregation was ordered there wasn’t a question about the necessary efforts to guarantee the rights of all citizens of the United States. How so that the Supreme Court of this time could make such a proclamation as to decide an election and no legislative action was taken to guarantee that all districts throughout all the states in the country were employing the exact same measures in conducting a presidential election?
Let us get this right. The US Supreme Court said that all votes couldn’t be recounted in a standardized manner and therefore the votes that needed recounting would stand as specified by Kathryn Harris, then Secretary of State for Florida and a Bush campaign manager for the same state. The point is if the votes weren’t going to be valid on the recount, they couldn’t be valid upon the first count and this is the basis upon which the Supreme Court should have made their determination. If the recount couldn’t be accepted, the original vote count couldn’t be accepted.
Now by the Constitution, the Electoral votes needed to be represented in Congress by the 15th of December, but one has to realize that there were only 13 states at the time of the Constitution’s composition and those presenting the votes to Congress needed to ride horses to the capitol. And while a certain period of time is necessary for the transition from one presidency to another, nothing today says that one can’t hold off until 6:30 AM on the 15th of December to grab a flight to DC and cast their votes. On this point of a specific date I agree with the majority of the Supreme Court Justices, but only because the Constitution makes the case for allowing enough time to allow each state’s electors to travel by horse to the Capitol City. However, were one to apply new technologies towards this same transportation, certainly a vote recount wouldn’t be disregarded due to time restraints as perceived by the court. Kathryn Harris could have been in DC at 11:59 PM to represent the recounted votes to Congress and the requirement would have been fulfilled.
The Supreme Court pulled a fast one and it has turned out to be the first step in a large number of steps to render the Constitution useless and allowed a bloodless coup to have been perpetrated upon the United States Government, the Fifth Estate and the American people..
As much as I’d like to say that Al Gore was elected and should have occupied the White House, I have to admit that George W. Bush is currently and has been sitting in the President’s chair since January 20th, 2001, and the man in the chair certainly represents the presidency whether there is question about the legality of the election or not.
As much as I’d like to say that the Constitution would ultimately remain supreme as the law of the land, I can’t bring myself to make that statement. Constitutional interpretation has long been the bailiwick of the Supreme Court, but this administration isn’t even waiting for judicial interpretation. They are making their own determinations and then applying them by signing statements, coercion and legislative shenanigans. And when judicial concerns actually come to a head, the administration changes the parameters so that the judiciary can’t get involved unless the entire legal process is started over again, thus causing an extremely costly process in order to test the laws.
There are so many avenues of which this administration has resorted as to cause anyone with a level head to have whiplash. This administration refuses to have it’s actions come to light, or in the process of exposure, resorts to falling back to legal methods such as in the illegal wiretapping case or the exposure of Black prisons in undisclosed locations overseas. Once it became obvious that President Bush had admitted to breaking the law and that action would be taken to hold him accountable, it was amazingly surprising that the FISA court was suddenly capable of reacting in a timely manner and thus the administration would abide by using the FISA courts for proper warrants. Jeez, without a change in the FISA structure from 2001 on, suddenly the FISA court was more responsive to issuing legal warrants on wiretapping, and yet nothing had changed but the degree to which the administration could be held accountable.
These are the types of examples I intimate in the subject of this blog. The whole truth starts to become apparent when the lies won’t hold water anymore.
But even here we aren’t at an impasse with the administration. The best this Congress can do, bolstered by a Democrat majority in both houses, is to come up with a non-binding resolution against the President’s imposition of yet another surge of troops into a hotbed of sectarian hostilities, where only Americans will die for the rights of the Iraqi people.
I won’t beleaguer the point that the fight in Iraq was totally wrong at its inception, so saying it continues to be wrong now is moot. No, I am not trying to bring up failed policies of this administration, but bring to light something that has become even more apparent as time as gone on.
Some might recall that I mentioned that this President couldn’t give up the office come January 20th, 2009, because his administration couldn’t stand the true light of day. I mentioned that Bush’s actions were cause for impeachment after the announcement of the Downing Street Memo, and that Bush’s actions were pointed towards ultimately bringing a true Imperial America to the forefront by refusing to leave office. I surmised that ultimately such action would require a declaration of martial law although at the time I didn't see how such a declaration could be made. I pointed out the military’s closing of regionally strategic National Guard bases as a method to neuter the state governor’s ability to respond to local or regional disasters in order to allow active duty troops on the streets of America in defiance of Posse Comitatus.
I then viewed some of these possibilities in terms of how this administration deputized mercenary troops supplied by Blackwater, CACI and others as a method to have troops on the streets loyal to the President via contracts, thus bypassing Posse Comitatus in toto such as was exhibited in New Orleans immediately after Hurricane Katrina.
Well, I was wrong again, and in admiration for an administration that has kept me guessing year after year, I still find it amazing that I had it right after all. For it seems that in the passage of this FY 2008 budget Bush has again hidden some terminology that essentially negates Posse Comitatus, thus allowing active duty troops on the streets of American only at the command of the President, and imposed even a more strict interpretation of such an old law (the Insurrection Act of 1806), that the final piece towards controlling not only the government but it’s people is now in place.
Whether we realize it or not, the future has been cast and all the pieces are in play to make this country something other than what the Founding Fathers invisioned. How far it will go is still obscure, but one can surmise that such lengths were not reached in order to place the power over Americans by some other person acting as president. This President has no plans to leave office, and his actions and those of his henchmen who obscure the law of the land have already laid the groundwork. The only requirement is another attack upon American to firmly place George W. Bush in office under martial law.
If the picture isn’t pretty to you, then imagine how it looks to me, since I’ve been talking about this for years now. Just remember that there has never been an Empire without and Emperor. Personally I wouldn’t even want me to be an Emperor (and I’d be a good one, heh heh heh), much less George W. Bush.
I guess I’ll have to come back shortly with more. I kinda jumped to the end, but 4 pages of blog is more than enough for a single day.
