ROLLING STONE: THE ETHANOL SCAM (A MUST READ!)

CONGRESS EYES PAY RAISE FOR ITSELF!

CONGRESS EYES PAY RAISE FOR ITSELF!
Oh ok, so y'all bumped the min-wage up to a WHOPPING $5.85, so it's time to give yourselves another $4,400, bringing their annual salaries to...$170,000! For doing...what?! Talking?! Passing a bunch of over-worded bullshit laws designed to confound and confuse the average person?! So do the math kids.
If you make $5.85 an hour, work 40 hours a week, you make annually a HUGE sum of...$12,168! (At least that's why my calculator said when I put in 5.85 X 40 X 52--ya know, 52 weeks a year?--and there ya go!)
If you are a dildo in CONgress (who still do not get that 75% of Americans want the BU$Hitler Crime Family IMPEACHED, and the goddamn ILLEGAL IRAQ WAR, EXCUSE ME, OCCUPATION, FUCKING ENDED ALREADY...just for starters, oh and HEALTH CARE FOR EVERYONE, goddamn assholes!) then you get $170,000! Not counting all the BRIBES, KICK-BACKS AND OTHER PERKS, LIKE "HERE, FLY ON MY CORPORATE JET AND ROLL UP ON MY HARD-ON WHILE I SHIT IN A HOOKER'S MOUTH, AND OH MAKE SURE YOU PASS SOME LAWS THAT MAKE IT EASY FOR MY SCUMBAG CORPORATION TO EXPLOIT THE AMERICAN LABOR FORCE SOME MORE..."
Oh and ain't it just nifty how everyone in CONgress gets TAX PAYER COVERED HEALTH CARE, meanwhile the rest of us DON'T GET SHIT?!
Cunts.

Question to 25%ers

Just curious folks who are in the 25% that still (somehow!) beLIEve BU$Hitler and his Criminal Gang are just the greatest thing since sliced bread or whatever, just a quicky question (and assuming you are a Christian):
THOU SHALT NOT LIE...what freakin' part of this do ya NOT understand?! Just curious, I just mention this in passing...

Ok, I'll be fair, it's actually (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments):
"Do not bear false witness against your neighbor" (or words to that affect)
One must not bear false witness in a court of law or other proceeding.

So...I am correct in deducting that lying before Congress would fall in the "court of law or other proceeding" category, no?!

Also, wasn't there one regarding MURDER or something along those lines?

Gimme a Fair and Balanced HAIL SATAN!

The answer to 1984...IS 1776!
9/11 is a goddamn LIE!
Show me the plane hitting the Pentagon!
If impeachment is not the table, WHY was it taken off? Blackmail!?

And 25% of America STILL supports BU$Hitler?!?!?!?!?

From http://www.TheRandiRhodesShow.com:

GONZO:
DOESN'T THIS MEAN THAT UNTIL 2006 THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WAS BREAKING THE LAW???
Data Mining requires a WARRANT too!

Flashback: Bloomberg reports that Warrantless Wiretapping began 7 MONTHS BEFORE 9/11.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has given Gonzo until Thursday to clarify contradictions in his testimony or risk a perjury investigation. Remember how well Karl Rove did with his “do over” for Patrick Fitzgerald.

Through it all, Bush is standing by his man.

THE WAR IN IRAQ:
Iraq’s PM Nouri al-Maliki and the top US Gen. In Iraq David Petraeus need a time out. Their relationship is so bad al-Maliki has asked Bush to remove Petraeus. Bush has no intention of withdrawing anyone from Iraq, generals included.

Is there a version of withdrawal the GOP can support?

Congress is opposing the Bush administration’s plan to sell $20 billion dollars worth of arms to the Saudis and other Persian Gulf countries.

While Bush is gift-wrapping the weapons for the Saudis, the US ambassador to the UN is accusing the Saudi Arabia of undermining the efforts to stop the violence in Iraq.

At least there is some good coming out of Iraq. The Iraq National Soccer team won the Asian Cup over the weekend.
Not so fast. During the celebration 4 people were killed from falling bullets!

Bush says he wants to modernize the FISA law. Translation: Bush wants to modify the FISA law to make it easier to avoid.

HAPPY TALK says We JUST MIGHT WIN THE WAR IN IRAQ! If we stay the course!

The Iraqi’s are coming up short on reconstruction. The US may need to add more to the billions we’ve already spent.

Kidnapped Americans STILL not found. They were contractors with NO EXPERIENCE, some hired off the Internet.

Congress, Bush and the Iraqi Parliament are headed for summer vacation. Our troops, on the other hand, aren’t going anywhere.

Pat Tillman...was he killed for his POLITICAL VIEWS?

CAGING VOTES!
From PBS’s “NOW”, Voter Caging and how it works.

THE ’08 CANDIDATES:
With only 3 Republican candidates signed on for the Sept. 17^th CNN/YouTube debate, it has been postponed with no new date assigned.

SIDEBARS:
Cheney gets a new heart…battery that is!

Michael Moore…you’ve been SERVED!

HACKED! A recent study found virtually EVERY Voting Machine used in California can be hacked into easily. ES&S machines couldn't be tested because they failed to meet the deadline for the Study.

W Fulfills Grandfather Prescott's Dream

Does this SHIT ever END?!


Sen. Prescott Bush straightens out Sen. Richard Nixon's hat.

From David Swanson and our friends at Smirking Chimp:

Bush Fulfills His Grandfather's Dream

by David Swanson | Jul 28 2007 - 2:01pm |

It's remarkably common for a grandson to take up his grandfather's major project. This occurred to me when I read recently of Thor Heyerdahl's grandson taking up his mission to cross the Pacific on a raft. But what really struck me was the BBC story aired on July 23rd documenting President George W. Bush's grandfather's involvement in a 1933 plot to overthrow the U.S. government and install a fascist dictatorship. I knew the story, but had not considered the possibility that the grandson was trying to accomplish what his grandfather had failed to achieve.

Prescott Sheldon Bush (1895 to 1972) attended Yale University and joined the secret society known as Skull and Bones. Prescott is widely reported to have stolen the skull of Native American leader Geronimo. As far as I know, this has not actually been confirmed. In fact, Prescott seems to have had a habit of making things up. He sent letters home from World War I claiming he'd received medals for heroism. After the letters were printed in newspapers, he had to retract his claims.

If this does not yet sound like the life of a George W. Bush ancestor, try this on for size: Prescott Bush's early business efforts tended to fail. He married the daughter of a very rich man named George Herbert Walker (the guy with the compound at Kennebunkport, Maine, that now belongs to the Bush family, and the origin of Dubya's middle initial). Walker installed Prescott Bush as an executive in Thyssen and Flick. From then on, Prescott's business dealings went better, and he entered politics.

Now, the name Thyssen comes from a German named Fritz Thyssen, major financial backer of the rise of Adolph Hitler. Thyssen was referred to in the New York Herald-Tribune as "Hitler's Angel." During the 1930s and early 1940s, and even as late as 1951, Prescott Bush was involved in business dealings with Thyssen, and was inevitably aware of both Thyssen's political activities and the fact that the companies involved were financially benefiting the nation of Germany. In addition, the companies Prescott Bush profited from included one engaged in mining operations in Poland using slave labor from Auschwitz. Two former slave laborers have sued the U.S. government and the heirs of Prescott Bush for $40 billion.

Until the United States entered World War II it was legal for Americans to do business with Germany, but in late 1942 Prescott Bush's businesses interests were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act. Among those businesses involved was the Hamburg America Lines, for which Prescott Bush served as a manager. A Congressional committee, in a report called the McCormack-Dickstein Report, found that Hamburg America Lines had offered free passage to Germany for journalists willing to write favorably about the Nazis, and had brought Nazi sympathizers to America. (Is this starting to remind anyone of our current president's relationship to the freedom of the press?)

The McCormack-Dickstein Committee was established to investigate a homegrown American fascist plot hatched in 1933. Here's how the BBC promoted its recent story:

"Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by right-wing American businessmen. The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans. The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression. Mike Thomson investigates why so little is known about this biggest ever peacetime threat to American democracy."

Great to see these particular cockroaches exposed to the light of day. Finally.

"Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Allen Dulles, the NAZIs, and the CIA

Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg once stated that "The Dulles brothers were traitors." Some historians believe that Allen Dulles became head of the newly formed CIA in large part to cover up his treasonous behavior and that of his clients. -- Christian Dewar, Making a Killing

Just before his death, James Jesus Angleton, the legendary chief of counterintelligence at the Central Intelligence Agency, was a bitter man. He felt betrayed by the people he had worked for all his life. In the end, he had come to realize that they were never really interested in American ideals of "freedom" and "democracy." They really only wanted "absolute power."

Angleton told author Joseph Trento that the reason he had gotten the counterintelligence job in the first place was by agreeing not to submit "sixty of Allen Dulles' closest friends" to a polygraph test concerning their business deals with the Nazis. In his end-of-life despair, Angleton assumed that he would see all his old companions again "in hell." -- Michael Hasty, Paranoid Shift


The study of the past is beset by uncertainty. Experts on ancient inscriptions can easily get into arguments over whether or not two prominent people with the same name were actually a single individual. The student of modern history doesn't normally run into such problems because our lives today are so well documented. But suppose that most present-day records were to be lost in the course of time, leaving only a few semi-mythic narratives. In that case, future historians might well conclude that the only way to make sense of the twentieth century was by assuming that there were actually two Allen Dulleses.

One Allen Dulles, they would tell us, was the head of a powerful group of covert agents who served the great American Republic at mid-century. The other, who lived and worked slightly earlier, had been dedicated to promoting the interests of the Nazi Reich, which was the sworn enemy of the Americans. Despite the coincidence of names, there could obviously have been no connection between them.

We, with our documentation intact, have no choice but to accept that these two Allen Dulleses were one and the same. But the price of our superior knowledge is that for us the twentieth century threatens to make no sense at all.

How do we begin to untangle this puzzle? Perhaps it would help if we went back to the start.

Allen Welsh Dulles was born to privilege and a tradition of public service. He was the grandson of one secretary of state and the nephew of another. But by the time he graduated from Princeton in 1914, the robber baron era of American history was coming to an an end, ushered out by the Sherman Anti-Trust Act -- which had been used in 1911 to break up Standard Oil -- and by the institution of the progressive income tax in 1913. The ruling elite was starting to view government less as their own private preserve and more as an unwanted intrusion on their ability to conduct business as usual. That shift of loyalties in itself may account for many of the paradoxical aspects of Dulles's career.

Gangsters. Murderers. NAZIs. Traitors.

So, what else is new?

____________________________________________

Here's an interesting bit of lesser-known history:

Nazis and the Republican Party

Investigative reporter Christopher Simpson says in “Blowback” that after World War II, Nazi émigrés were given CIA subsidies to build a far-right-wing power base in the U. S. These Nazis assumed prominent positions in the Republican Party's "ethnic outreach committees." Simpson documents the fact that these Nazis did not come to America as individuals but as part of organized groups with fascist political agendas. The Nazi agenda did not die along with Adolf Hitler. It moved to America (or a part of it did) and joined the far right of the Republican Party.

Simpson shows how the State Department and the CIA put high-ranking Nazis on the intelligence payroll "for their expertise in propaganda and psychological warfare," among other purposes. The most important Nazi employed by the U.S. was Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's most senior eastern front military intelligence officer. After Germany's defeat became certain, Gehlen offered the U. S. certain concessions in exchange for his own protection. Gehlen promoted hyped up cold war propaganda on behalf of the political right in this country, and helped shape U.S. perceptions of the cold war.

Journalist Russ Bellant (“Old Nazis, the New Right, and the Republican Party”) shows that Laszlo Pasztor, a convicted Nazi war collaborator, built the Republican émigré network. Pasztor, who served as adviser to Republican Paul Weyrich, belonged to the Hungarian Arrow Cross, a group that helped liquidate Hungary's Jews. Pasztor was founding chairman of the Republican Heritage Groups Council.

Two months before the November 1988 presidential election, a small newspaper, Washington Jewish Week, disclosed that a coalition for the Bush campaign included a number of outspoken Nazis and anti-Semites. The article prompted six leaders of Bush's coalition to resign.

NAZIs in the White House? Who'd believe it?

Bill for the Economy of Active Representation

You see section in red? That is in direct conflict with Directive 51 and the Military Commissions Act. Bush now assumes that he can send the troops in to put down insurrection or domestic violence without any request by the state.

We no longer have the country our Founders envisioned.

Bush is modifying the Constitution - all by his little own, asshole self.

________________________________

Hey--

I've just signed this petition: Bill for the Economy of Active Representation
Please read it, sign if you can, and pass along to anyone you know who may wish to ask for actual representation from our US Reps and Senators. Thanks!
Go to http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/activerepresentation to sign.

Target:
US Senate. House of Representatives, All Members
Created by:
Orion Karl Daley

We the undersigned, petition Congress ( both the Senate and the House ) to legislate law for the Economy of Active Representation as so defined herein. We see that "To be heard" is True Democracy, and "to be Represented" is the Truth of Democracy. In this petition we seek to be heard, with timely representation from you.

US Constitution: Article 4/Section 4: Republican government

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Republic is defined as follows:

A government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and is usually a president; also : a nation or other political unit having such a government 2 : a government in which supreme power is held by the citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives governing according to law; also : a nation or other political unit having such a form of government.

We the undersigned believe:

1- That any Bill to be debated on the floor should represent the people's voice, over and above what any representative might believe is better for the people. In electing an official into office we are giving them the power to act on our behalf. This is not the same as acting for us as in the case where people are declared incapable of acting on their own behalf.

2- That it is up to the specific Senate/House Representative to make their case to the people, and that the Senate/House Representative is to bring the peoples will to the floor.

3- To provide this form of Republic to the people, that all Senate and House websites are to provide on line web based Constituent polling such that registered constituents may vote on line, and that such results are reflect for any proposed Bill, Amendment, or otherwise action intended by the specific representative in the House, or Senate.

4- That on line web form email although is a means to reach one's Senate or House representative is not an empirical method for representing the constituents voice, and does not reflect the timeliness of it.

5- That all actions that the Senate or House Representative is involved in is clearly documented for a Yeah/Nay vote by on line constituents.

6- That only the result of this Yeah/Nay from the constituents of the specific Senate/House Representative be taken to the floor as the position of the specific Senate/House Representative .

7- That Internet technology is readily available , if not 'free ware' that can accomplish the majority of any website upgrade necessary for putting simple polling requirements.

8- That time frames are viewed as critical for realizing this bill into law, and compliance, and we see that there should be no worthwhile reason why the Senate and the House would not want to reach out to assure competent, honest, ethical and open representation on behalf of the American people.

9- That in compliance with the Peoples will for this petition, that Congress can save fortunes in tax payer dollars for the time specific Senate/House Representatives spend on the floors of Congress.

10- That open disclosure of earmarks can be clearly posted at the Senate and House websites, and disposition of budgets, current and project national debt.

11- That constituents may propose earmarks as a public formum, where they can be voted on by fellow constituents of the specific Senate/House Representative.

More detailed narrative for the purpose and need for the Economy of Active Representation is referenced at http://unity2008.org/Representatives.html.

We the undersigned further believe that with Congress in compliance with the Economy of Active Representation, in addition demonstrating further respect and regard for tax payer dollars by the Senate and The House, that this action will further instill trust from the people that Congress is seeking a more transparent and accountable government to serve the people.

Old-line Republican warns 'something's in the works' to trigger a police state!!!

Old-line Republican warns 'something's in the works' to trigger a police state
by Muriel Kane
Published: Thursday July 19, 2007
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Oldline_Republican_warns_somethings_in_works_0719.html

Thom Hartmann began his program on Thursday by reading from a new Executive Order which allows the government to seize the assets of anyone who interferes with its Iraq policies.
He then introduced old-line conservative Paul Craig Roberts -- a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan who has recently become known for his strong opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq War -- by quoting the "strong words" which open Roberts' latest column: "Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran."
"I don't actually think they're very strong," said Roberts of his words. "I get a lot of flak that they're understated and the situation is worse than I say. ... When Bush exercises this authority [under the new Executive Order] ... there's no check to it. It doesn't have to be ratified by Congress. The people who bear the brunt of these dictatorial police state actions have no recourse to the judiciary. So it really is a form of total, absolute, one-man rule. ... The American people don't really understand the danger that they face."
Roberts said that because of Bush's unpopularity, the Republicans face a total wipeout in 2008, and this may be why "the Democrats have not brought a halt to Bush's follies or the war, because they expect his unpopular policies to provide them with a landslide victory in next year's election."
However, Roberts emphasized, "the problem with this reasoning is that it assumes that Cheney and Rove and the Republicans are ignorant of these facts, or it assumes that they are content for the Republican Party to be destroyed after Bush has his fling." Roberts believes instead that Cheney and Rove intend to use a renewal of the War on Terror to rally the American people around the Republican Party. "Something's in the works," he said, adding that the Executive Orders need to create a police state are already in place.
"The administration figures themselves and prominent Republican propagandists ... are preparing us for another 9/11 event or series of events," Roberts continued. "Chertoff has predicted them. ... The National Intelligence Estimate is saying that al Qaeda has regrouped. ... You have to count on the fact that if al Qaeda's not going to do it, it's going to be orchestrated. ... The Republicans are praying for another 9/11."
Hartmann asked what we as the people can do if impeachment isn't about to happen. "If enough people were suspicious and alert, it would be harder for the administration to get away with it," Roberts replied. However, he added, "I don't think these wake-up calls are likely to be effective," pointing out the dominance of the mainstream media.
"Americans think their danger is terrorists," said Roberts. "They don't understand the terrorists cannot take away habeas corpus, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution. ... The terrorists are not anything like the threat that we face to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution from our own government in the name of fighting terrorism. Americans just aren't able to perceive that."
Roberts pointed out that it's old-line Republicans like himself, former Reagan associate deputy attorney general Bruce Fein, and Pat Buchanan who are the diehards in warning of the danger. "It's so obvious to people like us who have long been associated in the corridors of power," he said. "There's no belief in the people or anything like that. They have agendas. The people are in the way. The Constitution is in the way. ... Americans need to comprehend and look at how ruthless Cheney is. ... A person like that would do anything."
Roberts final suggestion was that, in the absence of a massive popular outcry, "the only constraints on what's going to happen will come from the federal bureaucracy and perhaps the military. They may have had enough. They may not go along with it."
The full audio of Thom Hartmann's interview with Paul Craig Roberts can be found here.

Holy Crap! Prescott Bush plotted coup against the USA in 1933!!!

Wowwy! Words almost fail me for this! It never ends with these cretins! Safe to say W inherited all the Nazi genes from his granddaddy.
And as if Prescott's well-documented funding of HITLER, especially Aushewitz, and being CONVICTED under the TRADING WITH THE ENEMY ACT wasn't bad enough!
The BU$Hitler Crime Family DOES NOT in any way shape or form believe in American Democracy. Period. Case fucking CLOSED.
