This applies as well to Bush Jr as to Herr <br />Hitler. If war does not often cause the rise of 'paranoid style' <br />leaders, they are, in the end the result of those leaders and their <br />fear-driven style. Thus war is but the real world manifestation of <br />paranoid fears and delusions. The Reichstag Fire and 911 are the most <br />obvious examples. As models by which fascist regimes may be easily <br />installed upon waves of fear, they are to be studied. It is hoped that <br />the tragic experiences will have been instructive. If nothing is learned<br /> then those who died will have been sacrificed for the vainglorious <br />ambitions of just two men: Hitler and Bush.<br /><br />More recently in <br />America, having learned the lessons of corporatism from Adolph Hitler <br />whose military adventures were financed by legal abstrations, <br />specifically I.G. Farben, Thyssen, Krupp et al, the GOP leadership will <br />conspire with their corporate sponsors to invade sovereign nations for <br />the purpose of enriching the corporate sponsors. The GOP/corporate <br />partnership wasted no time. In his second week in office, George W. Bush<br /> created the 'energy task-force' and placed Vice-President Dick Cheney <br />in charge. As if it had been scripted, Dick Cheney's 'Energy Task Force'<br /> convened to carve up the oil fields of Iraq! And, as conveniently for <br />Bush as was the Reichstag fire for Hitler, 911 provided the Jr Bush the <br />pre-text he needed to commit this nation to a war of naked aggression <br />against the peole of Iraq. It was a war crime for which the architects <br />must stand trial as did Nazis at Nuremberg.<br /><br />From a file called: the Utter Absurdity of the Right Wing:<br /><br /> IS THIS FOX NEWS TALKING HEAD - BRIAN KILMEADE - ACTUALLY A CIA/SCAIFE/BUSH AGENT?<br /><br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH3BTaWrQ3I<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2h8imURMFk<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=c06UapLlfnwplungernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-16747127982642815862011-07-19T07:41:20.242-04:002011-07-19T07:41:20.242-04:00 SPEAKING OF BOOK DEALS AND TREASON:
http://www.... SPEAKING OF BOOK DEALS AND TREASON:<br /><br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Center-Storm-Katherine-Harris/dp/B0006IWYSC<br /><br /><br />By calling the election for his cousin when he did, Ellis proved instrumental<br />in turning Bush’s loss in the popular vote into an apparently righteous<br />struggle to gain the presidency. With a constitutional crisis looming on the<br />horizon, pundits called for Gore, and not Bush, to be a "patriot" and<br />concede. In a fair count, without shenanigans or election irregularities, the<br />Miami Herald estimated Gore would have won Florida by 23,000 votes. The Bush<br />strategy all along was to prevent a recount and run out the clock — which he<br />succeeded in doing, eventually winning the state and the presidency by a few<br />hundred votes. The strategy only worked because Ellis coronated him the winner.<br /><br /><br />Weeks later, Ellis’ former colleague, Bill Kovach, while defending Ellis’<br />integrity as a journalist, reported that Ellis had been in telephone contact<br />with both Jeb and George W. Bush on election night prior to his making the<br />election call. Even Kovach admitted this was improper.<br /><br /><br />It’s a clear a conflict of interest for a presidential candidate’s close<br />and loyal first cousin, the nephew of a former U.S. President, to end up in a<br />position to call the election for the U.S. national media?<br /><br /><br />The puzzle comes together quickly. Ellis works for Roger Ailes, the director<br />of Fox News. Ailes is the former Republican party media consultant who,<br />according to Time Magazine, engineered Richard Nixon’s 1968 political<br />resurrection, scripted Ronald Reagan’s 1984 debate comeback and was<br />responsible for rescuing George Bush Senior’s floundering presidential<br />campaign in 1988. It was Ailes who coached then candidate Bush Senior’s<br />campaign performance, prepared him for debates, coordinated his television<br />advertising, and cooked up the racially divisive Willie Horton campaign,<br />eventually turning a double digit deficit in the polls into an election day<br />upset for George Bush Senior. Ailes also served a stint as producer of the Rush<br />Limbaugh radio show.<br /><br /><br />He moved over to Fox after being recruited by Rupert Murdoch, the Australian<br />born founder and CEO of News Corporation, the owner of Fox News. Murdoch, whose<br />media empire spans 52 countries with primary investments in Canada, the United<br />States, Britain and Australia, is one of the largest contributors to the<br />Republican party. In 1996 alone, he gave roughly $1 million to Republican party<br />campaigns. In 1995 he attempted to give Republican House speaker Newt Gingrich a<br />$4.5 million "advance" against royalties on a forthcoming Gingrich<br />authored, Murdoch published book, "To Renew America." The House Ethics<br />Committee, however, forced Gingrich to return the money.<br /><br />The specter of the Ellis, Ailes, Murdoch team bearing responsibility for the<br />miscall that set in motion a Bush team victory script with George W. as heir<br />apparent to the White House, is, in it’s own right, quite frightening. It is<br />not, however, out of place, given recent events in Florida.<br /><br /><br />Let’s not forget that Florida, the key state in deciding the presidential<br />contest, is run by George W. Bush’s brother, Governor Jeb Bush. The Florida<br />election is held under the supervision of Florida Secretary of State, Katherine<br />Harris, a co-chair of the Bush campaign. It was Harris who used her position to<br />stifle a hand recount and who eventually certified an allegedly incomplete vote<br />count. Add to this the specter of bizarre "butterfly" ballots and<br />imprecise 19th century vote tabulating technology (with older<br />counting machines amassed in minority communities), allegations of police<br />officers harassing Black voters, and the fact that, under Florida law one third<br />of the adult African-American male population is barred from voting because of<br />felony convictions resulting from previous run-ins with the aforementioned<br />police, and what we see is an electoral system more reminiscent of a corrupt<br />third world fiefdom, than a supposed industrial democracy. If such an election<br />transpired in any other country, the world would condemn it.plungernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-61871868571556187342011-07-19T07:15:11.625-04:002011-07-19T07:15:11.625-04:00Wouldn't Scotland Yard itself become the prime...Wouldn't Scotland Yard itself become the prime suspect into the death of the whistleblower responsible for revealing police complicity in a coverup? If the Chief Of Police himself had ordered a "hit" on the man who brought him down, how different would it look from this? The police department itself is responsible for the writing of this incredible and unbelievable description:<br /><br />"currently being treated as unexplained but not <br />thought to be suspicious"<br /><br />So who controls the police? How high up does this go? Was the reporters death a professional hit? If so, who ordered it? Does it extend to the Office Of The Prime Minister? Higher perhaps?<br /><br />From Brad's article linked above:<br /><br />I suppose it's also worth noting that the British police who report that<br /> Soare's death is "currently being treated as unexplained but not <br />thought to be suspicious", are also fingered as part of the hacking <br />scandal in which police were allegedly bribed for cell phone numbers <br />used to hack into the voice mails of celebrities, politicians, a murder <br />victim and, reportedly, troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.plungernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-73767990488079619862011-07-19T07:02:20.656-04:002011-07-19T07:02:20.656-04:00 Brad's take on the hackers hacking the hacker...

Beyond that one issue, however, Congress should include <br />Fox News, Murdoch’s most financially successful U.S. operation and one <br />that is already infamous for distorting the function of a normal <br />news-gathering organization into an unofficial-in-name-only mouthpiece <br />for the Republican Party. Fox News, by the way, has been making news of <br />its own for its sparse-to-nonexistent coverage of Murdoch’s massive <br />problems in Great Britain. Some of Fox’s panelists were even caught off-camera<br /> talking about deliberately avoiding the issue. Yeah, that’s a <br />legitimate news organization, all right, and not a front for right-wing <br />propaganda.
