    Bob Cesca 10.06.2005 During War Speech, Bush Calls Himself a ’Tyrant’ and a ’Radical’
    Bush’s speech today at the National Endowment for Democracy was loaded with what author Mark Crispin Miller has observed as Bush’s pathological tendency for "projectivity."
    "Projectors are those people who consistently attack others for the things they hate most in themselves. When Bush talks about Saddam Hussein, he’s talking about himself . . . What’s significant about Bush’s projectivity is that (…)

    "Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it." - US General Douglas MacArthur (One of the most decorated soldiers in the history of the United States military)

    Press Silence on Impeachment
    Listen Now
    The corporate media in the United States can hardly claim to fill a journalistic role, anymore. The first duty of a real newsperson is to ask questions. But the corporate press can’t bring itself to ask even the most obvious questions, including on issues that are important to a high proportion of the public. When we refer to the corporate media, we’re also talking about the major polling (…)

    THE POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT OF GEORGE W. BUSH
    by Mark Kato
    Not a single day passes without some writer calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush. Although this writer heartily agrees with and endorses this sentiment, it is not likely to happen, at least not in the next fifteen months. Not until the mid-term elections of 2006 produce a Democratic majority in the House and a two-thirds Democratic majority in the Senate will there be the sine qua non for a successful impeachment and (…)

    BUSH THE GREAT EXPLOITER
    By Peter Fredson
    October 6, 2005
    George W. Bush has learned the art of exploitation well. He knows how to take unfair advantage of a person or group, or some accidental circumstance, for his own benefit or advancement, in an organized, deliberate or systematic way. He does this by linking his name to some occurrence or symbol, then strongly suggests that he has done something heroic or beneficial which should be rewarded with votes, support, cash and accolades. (…)

    This is an open letter to George W. Bush, who thinks he’s the President of the United States of America. It may be somewhat of a rant, but I think it’s time people started speaking their minds about this impostor.
    Dear George,
    First off, I am not going to address you as Mr. President because I believe you stole the elections in 2000 and especially in 2004. Your goons, your political operatives and whatever computer hackers were working for you made sure that the 2004 vote went in your (…)

    The separation of the Bush political machine from organized crime is often like the thin layer of rock between a seemingly ordinary surface and volcanic activity rumbling below. Sometimes, the lava spews forth and the illusion of normalcy is shattered.
    In the weeks ahead, a dangerous eruption is again threatening to shake the Bush family’s image of legitimacy, as the pressure from intersecting scandals builds.
    So far, the mainstream news media has focused mostly on the white-collar (…)

  • Posse and Harriet: The real reason that Bush picked Miers

    We have no idea whether the Senate is going to confirm Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. For once, it may actually be up to the Democrats, who right now are too busy watching and laughing at conservatives and their cat fights to be bothered with taking a stand. And that may take a while, considering that it’s still three years and counting for any type of Democratic position on Iraq.
    We do know that’s there’s a lot of head fakes going on right now. Miers is a conservative...but wait, (…)
