I GET IT - SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT ABOUT WHAT GEORGE BUSH SAID ABOUT 9-11

...................................................

...................................................
George Bush asked by a child about 9/11
If you ignore the editorializing and just watch and listen to George Bush, this video shows Bush being flip, joking when talking about 9/11. Odd.

Uploaded by notanotherconspiracy
In a way I wish the editorializing was left out of these videos and just Rumsfeld and Bush be caught talking. I think that would be enough to show us who these men are.

"...That's what I was just going to say. This President's pretty much a victim of success. We haven't had an attack in five years. Hell, the perception of the threat is so low in this society that it's not surprising that the behavior pattern reflects a low threat assessment. The same thing's in Europe, there's a low threat perception.

Former White House official confirms operation...

While the Saudis have long denied involvement in the massacre that claimed the lives of some 3,000 people, 15 of the 19 hijackers came from the kingdom.

Former White House counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke described the Saudi exodus in an interview for the current issue of Vanity Fair on newsstands today. Clarke, who left the White House in February, lends confirmation to reports of the evacuation which first surfaced in September 2001, but have been dispelled as rumor and urban legend.

Citing Clarke, the magazine reports that within a week of the hijackings private planes picked up individuals from 10 cities, including Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Houston and Boston. Aviation officials complained the flights took place before the government had lifted flight restrictions for the general public.

See TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE. INDICT CRIMINALS BUSH, CHENEY and RUMSFELD

"A Few Bad Apples .... " ~ Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales
Uploaded by THINKFilmNY

Youtube of Alberto Gonzales


In George W Bush's first Inaugural Address he said:
"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity."

Dignity is not something that describes the United States after Bagram in Afghanistan, Abu_Ghraib in Iraq and Guantanamo in Cuba. (A Growing Afghan Prison Rivals Bleak Guantanamo)

After seeing Alex Gibney's documentary Taxi to the Dark Side today with the free on demand
feature, it was clear to me that George W Bush, Richard Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld need to be indicted. It is clear that they are criminals. I knew this before seeing the film, but it is so potent when seeing this documentary film. The three of them, as well as other Bush appointees have broken the U.S. Constitution and the oath they swore to. They have made us the United States citizens amoral bystanders. We have a corrupt government. The world knows it. The United States of America is bankrupt of accountability internationally.

There is no way that the behavior clearly shown in Taxi to the Dark Side wouldn't make the the USA targets of hate. Before the Bush administration, there were other acts done by the USA government that drew distaste and hatred toward the USA, but the Bush-Cheney administration has a case so deservingly merited to be tried in a court of justice somewhere. If not initiated by our apparently morally bankrupt congress, perhaps the International Criminal Court will indict the players. The buck stops at the administration's branch. And Bush and Cheney should not get away with their crimes.

Dennis Kucinich has been calling for Bush's impeachment. And you can sign the petition. Here is the text:

Kucinich Petition

WHEREAS, in his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed abuses of power.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and Commander in Chief, and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States and that he be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Personally, I believe Congress has been derelict to the extreme in their duty to oversee the Administration's criminal activity. International law (Geneva Convention) has been broken, as well as national law. I would like to see the Intermational Criminal Court (ICC) look into the crimes done by the Administration. According to the text at this ICC link victims "have the possibility under the Statute to present their views and observations before the Court".

The Book: Impeach the President - The Case Against Bush and Cheney

George W Bush gives a tour of the Oval Office - this is worth a look just for the irony of his attempt to appear....well, I'll leave it to you to decide.

Dick Cheney gives a tour of Vice President office.

George W Bush and Dick Cheney have been in office since January 20, 2001.

Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defense overseeing the army, navy, air force, and marines from 2001 to December 2006 for the Bush-Cheney administration.

Intel ops to expand at Bagram prison

By Peter Eisler - USA Today
Posted : Thursday Sep 18, 2008

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon plans to expand intelligence operations at its main prison in Afghanistan, records and interviews with military officials show.

Interrogators and analysts are being sought for a bigger Bagram prison scheduled to open next year. They will be hired to question prisoners and provide intelligence that can be used on the battlefield, according to contract solicitations reviewed by USA Today. The Army also is seeking a “trained Mullah” to conduct Islamic services for detainees and advise U.S. officials on religious issues...

“One thing we have not taken advantage of is just trying to understand what is motivating people to join the insurgency,” he said.

The new $60 million facility will also include more space for detainee religious services, education programs and family visits.

WE WERE AT A CROSSROADS A LONG TIME AGO

NOW WE ARE IN A HOLE AND NEED TO STOP THE IGNORANT HAZE WE ARE LIVING IN. We cannot continue the path we are on and expect the results to afford us the status quo in the future. We are on a national policy and governmental mindset that is stagnant, dangerous - and we are in sinking sand. I heard a man speak last year who said that in several years the world stage would not see the USA maintain its number one position of power in the world. But that China will become that position. Our national economy is being funded by loans from guess who? China.
.............................................

.............................................
Is China really the country that we want to be in debt to? It seems preposterous that we would want a country with China's human rights abuses be our bank in essence. But then we have allowed our own country to ignore basic human rights in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.

The Abu Ghraib Scandal Cover-Up?

The Patriot Act is frighteningly unconstitutional. The First Amendment states that “CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW……da duh, da duh, da duh… But they did and Bush signed it. Of course Bush ordered it. You are not as free as you think you are.

The Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” The Patriot Act removes this Fourth Amendment from our Constitutional Rights.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_PATRIOT_Act
The Patriot Act

Have you read the Constitution lately? I have a tiny little booklet of it that I picked up at my U.S. Senator Jack Reed’s Cranston office when I lobbied him regarding Darfur May 29, 2007. It sits here at my computer.

The United States of America is not the country that I believe in anymore. We have given the USA haters an arsenal of reasons to detest us. I detest our actions…Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, The Patriot Act. And that’s just for starters.

Every day that George Bush is our President is one more day of me wanting to
a. impeach him and his whole crew,
b. refuse to pay my taxes that support his disastrous government –
it certainly isn’t my government,
c. tell the world that I am sorry.
d. send a message to congress to grow back a backbone, find a moral compass and step up to the plate and give me some reason to not think they are totally useless.

THE QUESTION ISN’T… IS THE WORLD BETTER WITHOUT SADDAM HUSSEIN, BUT IS IT BETTER WITH PRESIDENT GW BUSH

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.


Bush Wants Us to Be Clueless about how he works this government and to be dumb enough to accept that he is qualified to be President. In the very least Bush and his administration welcome our apathy.

I don’t have the complete list of the incompetent people that George Bush has chosen as his administration or people he is associated with. You can go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/nominations/indexJ-L.html

where the nominations are listed. But just consider my short list and that they all say “I SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF the PRESIDENT”. Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Miers, Scooter Libby, John Bolton, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz, Porter Goss, Michael D Brown, Tom DeLay, James Leon Holmes, Paul O’Neill, Richard Stickler, Richard H. Carmona, Jack Abramoff. The ones on that list who I respect are Colin Powell, Richard Carmona and Richard Stickler and they weren’t liked by Bush. They were "fired".

If you would like to put on your future resume that you worked for the George Bush White House, go here and apply http://www.whitehouse.gov/appointments/

AT this link it begins:

APPOINTMENTS
One of President Bush's top priorities is to select men and women of the greatest ability and highest ethical and professional integrity to serve in policymaking and key administrative positions in his administration.

"The success of the Bush-Cheney administration will depend on the quality appointees we choose to join us to lead this nation in the years ahead. I will look for people who are willing to work hard to do what is best for America, who examine the facts and do what is right whether or not it is popular. I will look for people from across the country and from every walk of life. I welcome all who are ready for this great challenge to apply."

President George W. Bush

FACTORS TO CONSIDER

To serve our country as a member of the Bush-Cheney administration will be both an honor and a privilege. However, government service is not for everyone. Anyone thinking about applying should be aware that:

  • The hours are long and the pace intense.
  • There is much public/press scrutiny, as you would expect in an open, democratic form of government such as ours.
  • Most applicants under serious consideration for an appointment will go through a full FBI background check in which their employment, professional, personal, travel, medical, financial, legal, military and educational histories will be reviewed and scrutinized…….

THE PROCESS

Anyone wanting to apply for a non-career position in the Executive Office of the President or a Federal Department, Agency or Commission should proceed as follows:

  • Fill out the application form provided below and submit it electronically. You will be sent an email or card indicating that your application has been received. Your information will be kept on file for as long as the President is in office, and you will be considered for the position(s) or subject area(s) in which you have expressed an interest whenever openings occur.

Etc. Seriously this is taken from the White House website.

Imagine, you too could have your name added to the long list of Bush’s People, get a Bush-created nickname, such as Turd Blossom. Would you consider serving this President? OMG!

And then there is the U.S. National Debt

The Outstanding Public Debt as of Aug 17, 2007:

$ 8 , 9 6 6 , 8 5 9 , 0 2 0 , 6 5 4 . 9 6

The estimated population of the United States is 302,726,976
so each citizen's share of this debt is $29,620.28.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.43 billion per day since September 29, 2006!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House! From http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/

Below are some selected YouTubes of the Bush People.

If you only watch one video, watch this one:

To get the truthful news on the United States you have to go outside the United States more often than not. This video is on the U.S. War in Iraq. The Guardian's award-winning photographer and filmmaker Sean Smith spent two months embedded with US troops in Baghdad and Anbar province. His harrowing documentary exposes the exhaustion and disillusionment of the soldiers.” From the Guardian website
