Governments USA

I went to go hit a bucket of golf balls today. (Beautiful day, 85 and sunny). The place I go to is inhabited by crusty old men who scratch a lot and talk shit all day long. This is their retirement. I know this place to be pretty conservative so I just go to hit a bucket and not chew the fat.

Today I’m walking in to get my bucket and I hear one dude telling another in his heavy southern drawl "did you see the thing on C-SPAN with this COnyers feller?" That’s all I needed. I spent the next 45 minutes telling them about the petition, the work that’s been going on for weeks, and so on. They had a lot of questions and I was able to fill in some gaps in their information. There were other people listening and chiming in. Out of the 6 or 7 people there NOT ONE defended Bushit. Not one. Even guys who by looking at them you know are Republicans were piling on. They didn’t know how much Halliburton has stolen, as an example of information that they still don’t have. When I started to walk away and start hitting golf balls...

...Here it comes.....

The guy I originally started talking to says "I think there’s gonna be an impeachment".!!! EVERYONE ELSE WAS NODDING THEIR HEADS IN AGREEMENT.

I was floored...and then I was giddy...then I nailed 80 out of 90 golf swings.

  • Thank God, and don’t stop hammering away the facts at the doubters!

  • Another great story from DU

    I’m certainly not as eloquent or loquacious as many of the folks on this board. However, listening to Ed Schultz today, I heard something completely unexpected.

    He was giving the opening speech of his radio show to a crowd at a carpenter’s union hall in St. Paul, Minnesota. Typical blue-collar crowd, probably moderate to conservative (but not radical right), in a very Republican city.

    He mentioned the "I" word as having come up in Congress for the first time. Impeachment.

    And the place exploded. The cheering all but overwhelmed the microphones, and didn’t stop for five full minutes. You’d have thought that he’d just suggested putting all the union busters, outsourcers and corporate heads to the guillotine. I was expecting cheering and support, but not a riot!

    Impeachment itself may never happen, but could this reaction be the start of something big? Like maybe the political tides of the ’mushy middle’ — even if they are trade unionists — finally swinging our way? I find it hard to not be encouraged by what I heard over the radio today, and I could sure use some considering what’s been going on since Bush’s fraudulent re-election.

    • St. Paul? Republican???

      I lived in St. Paul for 17 years. If there is a more reliably Democratic city in USA, I would like to know where it is. Fact, Norm Coleman was elected as a DFL mayor of St. Paul. Then he switched parties. When he ran for the Senate last fall, not ONE precinct in all of St. Paul went to Norman in spite of the fact that he ran on his record as a "successful" mayor.

      And as for the Carpenter’s Union, I lived in the same precinct as that union’s business manager for five years. He was, hands down, the best political mind in the neighborhood and we were home to Macalester College and had full professors in our caucus.

      My guess is that most in that audience went to hear Ed Shultz hoping he was progressive enough

    • Impeachment? How about a war crimes trial or treason? Killing over 100,000 people certainly rises to the death penalty.

      And another thing, stop just blaming Bush. The president is just a 4-year fall guy. It took many years and a lot of blackmail and bribery to corrupt congress. That is where the real power lies and that is who has to be replaced. Re-elect NOBODY - NO EXCEPTIONS!

      It was congress that did not declare war. It was congress that turned their responsibility over to a drunken coke head president appointed by the supreme court after massive election fraud was discovered. Bush is just a puppet, chosen by design to lead the type of people that fight in the military. The believers.

      Hundreds of millions of people all over world protested the war, we all knew the truth. Every member of congress signed a secrecy agreement regarding the war in Iraq except one. Dennis Kucinich.

      Your congress is being blackmailed and bribed by the largest spy ring in the world - The Israeli Mossad

      The war in Iraq was cooked up in 1992 by Rabbi Dov Zackheim. The plan was called project for a new American century. The US dollar was nullified by the NESARA ruling. Yes it really happened and yes there is a massive counter Intel program to make it appear as a bunch of nuts. They needed a way to end the Iraqi petrol buck as the interest on US dollars being held in foreign banks is all the dollar is worth.

      Oil rich countries were tired of American belligerence and were going to start trading oil for euros which would make the dollar worthless.

      The EU was formed to counter the military threats and buildup that the Zionist plan called for. Europe was once our friends.

      This is the danger in letting a minority such as the Zionist (CFR, Worlds banking system, JDL, ADL, 60% of your congress, most of your press,the military industrial complex, etc.) control your government.
      It is the price of apathy that only the poor and middle class pay. George Bush has financially done quite nicely through his fathers war related businesses but then, that is the history of the Bush family.

    • How do you know Dov Z was behind this...and the secrecy agreement signed by Congress...this would explain the lack of debate in Congress...

    • EXCELLENT MESSAGE—YOU SHOULD BE SPEAKING TO VERY LARGE GROUPS OF IGNORANT aMERICANS—SOON, AND VERY SOON!!
      pLEASE KEEP SENDING YOUR WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE OUT TO THE SLEEPING MASSES.

    • Greetings,

      Not mentioned any more is the anthrax experience and the possible reasons for it (Scare the democrats and the press into shut-up mode). I think the report from Indira Singh at the Citizens Commission reveals how compromised our government is. Here is a note I sent my senators:

      Wondered if you have been to this site: http://www.911busters.com/

      or here: http://www.911busters.com/911-Commission.html

      where you can check out: Indira Singh reading Sibel Edward’s Letter
      and: Indira Singh and Michael Ruppert Questions and Answers

      Not mentioned on the page is Ptech, ever hear of them? Indira says they are a CIA front that composes software with ’back doors’ that control most of the US Government. She used to work with JP Morgan Bank. After she reads Sibel Edwards letter to Mr. Keen, she talks about her own investigations and findings... maybe some of your listners would like to hear what she has to say about "Our State of Affairs".

      From a former assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury

      http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts107.html

      How much more shame and complicity will Americans allow Bush and his neocon brownshirts to shovel onto their shoulders before Americans say "enough!" and remove from office the war criminal who has sullied America’s good name?

      And there is this report:
      America’s Ministry of Propaganda Exposed —

      See: http://www.rense.com/general44/minis.htm Which has four links to earthisland.org reports.
      http://www.earthisland.org/project/newsPage2.cfm?newsID=491&pageID=177&subSiteID=44
      Part One
      The 56-page investigation was assembled by USAF Colonel (Ret.) Sam Gardiner. "Truth from These Podia: Summary of a Study of Strategic Influence, Perception Management, Strategic Information Warfare and Strategic Psychological Operations in Gulf II" identifies more than 50 stories about the Iraq war that were faked by government propaganda artists in a covert campaign to "market" the military invasion of Iraq.

      http://www.earthisland.org/project/newsPage2.cfm?newsID=492&pageID=177&subSiteID=44
      Part Two
      To Gardiner, the "most serious transformation of language" involved Washington’s directive to refer to Iraq’s irregular troops as "terrorist death squads." The order apparently came down on March 25.

      Renaming the Iraqi defenders "terrorists" appears to have been part of the strategic influence campaign since it served to connect the Iraqi fighters with "one of the major themes of Gulf II — Iraq = terrorist = 9/11."

      http://www.earthisland.org/project/newsPage2.cfm?newsID=493&pageID=177&subSiteID=44
      Part Three
      Targeting Critics, Spreading Lies, and PSYOPS

      Protesters in Baghdad lie down in the path of US armored vehicles. The White House Office of Global Communication is not interested in distributing photos of ordinary Iraqi citizens nonviolently demonstration against the US occupation.The tools of strategic influence were not only wielded against Saddam Hussein, they were also turned against foreign allies and domestic critics who dared to question Bush’s agenda. The French were among the first to feel the sting of these attacks.

      Sam Gardiner’s report notes that the French were clearly "the focus of punishment in the strategic influence campaign." He has identified "at least eight times when false stories or engineered stories were aimed at them, the majority appearing after their lack of support in the UN for US and UK actions."

      http://www.earthisland.org/project/newsPage2.cfm?newsID=494&pageID=177&subSiteID=44
      Part Four
      In the oddest example of perception management, Pentagon media masters actually created a website to promote world peace. The "EmpowerPeace" website appeared to represent a citizen’s anti-war movement. The goal seemed to be to foster the impression that the US people (and especially US children) were essentially peace-loving. "It looked like a grassroots effort," Gardiner recalls. "It seems to have been aimed at the Arab audience set."

      The EmpowerPeace website didn’t last long. The reason, Gardiner suspects, is that its creation probably violated the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which bans the domestic dissemination of government propaganda.

      I sent this to my Senators too:
      stolen democracy report

      http://opednews.com/wade_061805_reclaiming.htm

      Your country has been stolen from you by an administration that lies with impunity and has a complicit press that tells you it is far more important what is happening to the runaway bride than in the Iraq War. Your democracy has been stolen by a party that thinks nothing of changing 200 year old filibuster rules and are so rife with corruption that the people, who manage ethics, will not investigate the least ethical man in DC, because they have all contributed to his Political Action Committee. This corruption knows no ends. For example, Robert F. Kennedy has just released an expose detailing how this administration tried to cover up for the pharmaceutical lobby after it was revealed that an ingredient in vaccines had contributed to high rates of autism in children. Here is the frightening part. Senator Bill Frist attached a rider to the bill that created the Department of Homeland Security, called the Eli-Lilly Protection Act. Essentially, this eliminated the rights of parents to sue vaccine makers for the autism they created. Bill Frist received over $800,000 from the pharmaceutical lobby. Conflict of interest anyone? This is how it works now in your democracy. It is sold every day to the highest bidder. It was yours. It has been stolen.

       America, our soul has also been stolen. We used to be the light for the world. We used to be respected in the world, now we are hated. We used to lead the world, now we invade it. We were told five years ago that the rule of law was crucial to uphold our democracy. We were told that the lies of William Jefferson Clinton would destroy the fabric of this country and the only remedy was impeachment. Those lies were personal in nature, involving a sexual indiscretion. Today we are faced with the prospect of a President whose lies have led this country to war, killed over 1,700 American soldiers, and countless innocent civilians. Suddenly the rule of law seems to not matter anymore. Instead of impeachment hearings, the same republicans will not even allow judiciary hearings to address the facts discussed here today. They look you in the face, preach family values and then kill your kids. They sermonize about the rule of law, but only when it does not implicate their own. They moralize about a culture of life, when all they embrace are the politics of death. When faced with the realities however, they abandon all pretense. They bully the minority party. They take their gavel and go home. They profit off the blood they spill and steal our democracy. They profit off damaging the health of our children, and steal our country. They profit off of the death of our kids and steal our collective soul.

      Oh my, how do we "Collective Souls" Stand firm in our United Position for Just Peace? United for Impeachment sounds good to me.

      I wear deception dollars, (deceptiondollar.com) and hand them out as a ’public education service’. Trying to call the Volunteers of America to Attention, like you. Now how do we embrace and console those who have been so deceived? Those who are our relations, and have given us such grief. It will take that to have a Healing. To have a Nation that comes together to Celebrate our Liberty and Renewed Democracy.

      Thanks for being there.
      Peace, AnotherDreamWeaver

  • I know we need to take it one step at a time here , but as good as the "tide turning" is - I just can’t WAIT for the "9/11 Truth tsunami" to hit America ! If they lied about Iraq ( and everything else ) , why should we believe them when they hand us "The Official 9/11 Story"?

    • Amen. Either BushCo SPONSORED the 9-11 attacks, or — at the very least, but I don’t think they’re guilty of mere complicity — they had foreknowledge of the attacks, affirmatively wanted them to happen, and withheld what might have been an effective military response.

      But when you hear about people who worked in the WTC South Tower describing how bomb-sniffing security dogs were taken off the job just days before attacks, and there were "engineers" in the building during a "power-down" (no security cameras!) the weekend preceding the attacks, and you learn that the security company had Marvin Bush as a director, and you see "Flight 175" emitting a flash maybe 1/3 of a second before impact . . . nah, this wasn’t Arabs with boxcutters, this was fucking professionals.

    • 9-11 Ten-4 Keep all eyes on the Fraud of the Epock. TELL THE TRUTH about 9-11. TELL THE TRUTH about 9-11...TELL THE TRUTH..

  • Good news indeed! Congress.org A thank you to Rep. Conyers and Sen. Durbin for their stand for truth is in order... You can even email Mr. Bush or Cheney as well if you like...
    Let’s keep the tide rolling... the next tsunami may just land on the current administration and all of the lap-dog gop gophers...
    The unraveling begins...
    Take care all

    • The fact is that they are in office messing everything up. The bottom line is "DO NOT RE-ELECT ANYONE". And if you want a reason not to....learn to read and use the net.......

    • As Homer Simpson would say, "Woohooooooo!!!!!". Wow! GOLFERS listening to the facts and then AGREEING about impeachment. Am I dreaming?? Who knows?----things like this could start.....wait a minute.....drum roll.....a REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!

      Let’s keep it up, folks! All in favor, say with me: REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!

    • I wouldn’t be too optimistic about this potential impeachment - no doubt it will be psychologically removed from the people’s minds with another coincidental terrorist attack. Perhaps it will be blamed on Iran or Syria this time? A question that must ALWAYS be asked is: "Who benefits?" That will usually point you towards the "source"...

  • Impeachment is bullshit. It’s a six month media distraction that changes nothing about how this country is being run. Unless you wipe both houses clean, and free this nation’s wealth from the scam of the federal reserve, it may as well be another Michael Jackson trial. Everyone in DC has to go, and don’t forget that the corporate media duped Americans into accepting this agenda of tyranny and murder, and helped to conceal the crimes of 9-11. They’re accessories in the murder of 3000 people. I hope all of their heads roll down the street. It’s what they deserve. — Jolly Roger

  • 2006 is impeachment time! Guantanamo gulag is then crowded with Bushco’s people. All this criminals united in one place!

  • I definatly agree with you guys more and more people are starting to wake up to whats going on in this country I know when the media does report on things like john conyers meeting they always like to throw in that it was started by all the far left wing bloggers to try to illegitamize the movement I for one can tell you that as a former republican people in my former party have started to join this movement ive told every conservative i know about the downing street memo and the medias attempt to bury it every single person ive told was shocked and grew angry they all said the same thing yea it makes me mad but what can we do i told them for one you should sign john conyers petition i got 18 people to sign it and all of them were republicans i told them after that to mention it to everyone at school now my whole school is is having discussions about it even the teachers i always thought the only way to bring bush to justice was to to to kill him myself but now i was shocked what you could do just by telling a few people.

  • I think it is a great thing to see actually happen. However, like picking weeds, you can get what you see. But it’s what you don’t see that keeps coming back again and again. You have to be sure you get the root too!

    To impeach Bush without punishing others involved would be a serious mistake. There are Bush’s NeoCon friends, the Republican loyalists and even the media bosses (yes, they covered up what they knew to be a serious sequence of crimes).

    In addition, there are numerous other factions within your country that are involved.

    To be sure, those ignorant redneck fools that support Bush - average Jack and Jill Americans - are responsible as well. If they had all banded together with non-supporters to fight the illegal actions of the government, something could have been done. So, to some extent, they were complicit in the illegal war of terrorism. They cannot just use the excuse that the government lied. That fact was known early on and they ignored it.

    And, the most hideous form of the "weeds" are the ones that hide in areas least expected to be involved. Why was there no outrage by the Democrats when Bush "won" the second election? Think about it. Everyone knew there was funny business going on with Diebold. Why did Kerry not protest when there was ample evidence of tampering? (How much money was left in his "war chest"? Where did it go?)

    When Kerry supposedly first caught wind of the Downing Street Memo, he indicated he would start impeachment proceedings. Why did he back off? Perhaps it was a good (false flag) cover.

    And, this is the type of democracy the US wants to spread to other countries?

  • Line them all up and send them to Iraq in orange prison garb. Make their families pay to clean up the mess they have made over there (including the DU) and rebuild what was lost from the ground up. And make them do the work. Then let the Iraqis have it out with them.

  • It is very good that awareness of Bushinista lying is increasing. We can only hope that this extends to 911. We cannot expect that the MSM will help much in this effort: the Wash Post attacks even Conyers’ DSM hearings! It’s up to the continuing blogger efforts.

    Which leads me to my point: the awareness of Bushinista lying will be very good only if the next (perhaps imminent?) 911 event causes an immediate knee-jerk reaction in a majority of people that the new 911 was an inside job. The desired reaction is that of a horde of angry hornets descending on their seats of government, bent on a tar and feathering.

    The clamping down of the internet and other interpersonal communication (cell phones) must figure into their plans. This would of course cause economic chaos, but if the next 911 takes an econmic form, that and the attendant civilian communication shutdown could be blamed on the enemy (e.g, Iran). Don’t forget that Israel/Mossad has a hand in US communications (e.g., AmDocs, etc.).

    I have no answers, other than that of just keep talking about government mendacity and their capacity for utter ruthlessness: killing of their own for the benefit of the elites— Pearl Harbor, 911, US troops in Iraq, etc..

  • Just want to let you all know—my cure for sick america—pass a tough law that all of us become jews—end of all problems.
    I read last week an article that i like to share-just the jest of it and shows you how sick america is with the jewish blight.
    Back when we were bombing the shit out of Bosnia,there was a top official general,the americans wanted to kill him.At the time 8 disinformation army agents were working at CNN and one at NPR.The rest possibly at fox,however,the trap was to use Larry King(jew)CNN and have the victum travel to the local TV station for an interview by satellite.Luck for the victum,he was late 6 minites.A USA bomb was sent down-3 seconds into the King interview. It appeared that Larry was not to pleased to see a guy blown up.
    There is very many sick people in Amerikaka .Time to put limits on Jews controlling government and a bill be made to make it a crime in buying people out.

  • Nationalize USA Oil Production and Distribution (and really hurt Bushit)
