Empire Fondue

Is it empire?

Or a wilted Flower

In denial of it parched roots?

And who will bring water

And who will sit around and watch it die

Walking past it while it lie

Helplessly screaming

And beating the earth

Yet you show no remorse

For death

In the face of which

We Must Show Universal Compassion

Though it is empire

And we watched it grow

As the subdued manifestation

Of our own wickedness

We will be the guilty accomplices

Murder by proxy

Of the adolescent flower child

Empire

Who can

And Likely will

Raze Mesopotamia and

Bleed Eurasia

As it takes its bow

IF you didn't catch it, check out Pres. Bush Speech on U.S. Space Policy. We (the US) are going to get a foothold on the moon and pioneer space. It is pretty cold out there and there isn't too much oxygen. Come to think of it, there isn't that much oxygen on earth. Anyway, read the PNAC's Rebuilding America's Defenses and the context in which we hope to space travel will have a new (well, it's intended) meaning. Bush is probably the only one in the country who can actually get a foot hold on the moon. My feet are not to good at picking things up. Amazing things one can do when they are the link to the prehensile tail.

Militarization of space is one of the most important items on the PNAC's agenda. After redistributing our military presence in Asia (invading Afghanistan and Iraq and pulling our troops out of Saudi Arabia while relocating them in Uzbekistan and elsewhere), challenging regimes which pose a threat to America's interests abroad (because they live there and rely on the resources), and controlling cyberspace, the PNAC hopes to be able to deploy hypersonic bombers traveling at 18 times the speed of sound, and drop some mini-nukes on whoever, whenever, wherever they may, thus establishing a total militaristic control over the globe. I am not making this shit up. It is all available in their own documents (if you haven't read them yet, do so now and you will understand why 911 happened, why we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, and all else that is happening: just go to the New Nukes page and read away).

So don't be confused by the NeoCon Hype about space exploration. NASA wasn't founded to boldly go where no primate has gone before, it was created in recognition of the fact that those who rule space, rule.

So who is the crazy one?

I think it is time for the entire administration to undergo psychiatric analysis and prescribed treatment.

If you have any suggestions for treatment, send the to me, or some News Journals' Editorial Staff

Have a splendid Day!

A Poem

Beautiful Stream

Always Carries me Across

The Land of Fornidden dreams

Where i can be reckless and Unseen

Unhindered and Unperturbed

By this worlds words

Trying to misformulate

One's pure essence

Towards Broken Spirits

and Heartless Heroes

“Just walking in the country is not going to reveal the truth”

David Kay: CIA Guy (Or Weapons Expert)?

“Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

US Constitution

It is incredibly embarrassing to hear David Kay speak about the progress of the search for Weapons Mostly Disappeared. Was it not Saddam's WMD capabilities which posed an imminent threat to US national security? Was this not the reason Congress was sold on their joint resolution authorizing Bush to use military force at his leisure (Public Law 107-243)?

Mr. Kay's temporary conclusions and mutterings serve only to negate Bush's justification for invading Iraq. It is now clear that Bush intentionally deceived Congress into authorizing the pre-emptive use of military force and that he intentionally undermined the UN's inspection regime in his mad rush to oust Saddam Hussein from power claiming that Saddam posed an imminent threat to US security and the region. Saddam's local adversaries did not perceive this threat. To the contrary, the Arab League signed a resolution, pre-invasion, demanding the US immediately withdraw its troops from the `occupied territories' as it was the US which posed an imminent threat to the security of their region.

After $300 million spent and not a single WMD found Kay tells us the Iraqi Survey Group needs another $600 million and 9-12 months (coincides with the election) to find Hussein Bin Laden's intent to take over the Middle East before the US does. This admission contradicts the imminent threat theory. Of course we must always view Bush's actions in the context of the Neocon cookbook for a Pax Americana (RAD). In fact, we can thank Mr. Wolfowitz' for his confession that WMD was just propaganda to sell Congress and the People on a war for economic and political control over the critical geographical center necessary to establish American global hegemony.

Commenting on Kay's report, Senator Rockefeller (D- W.Va.) offered some cutting remarks on the doctrine of pre-emptive wars yet concluded that we shall have to wait for the final report, stopping short of an accusation that the Bush Administration lied. It would be nice to see these Congressional Reps, regardless of their party, do the right thing. The right thing to do, and what we pay them for, is to uphold the Constitution in the name of the people. If they can't do their job and hold Bush accountable for his reckless unilateralist treatise then they should all be fired.

Bush has lied to Congress and the American people and endangered our national security. His violations of International Law and the Constitution have clearly aided terrorist organizations in their hatred of the US and have served to make the US a much less secure place. On this premise alone Bush is impeachable.

A More Secure World

"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors."

-- George Herbert Walker Bush, 1999

At this point in time any polite criticism of US policy would only serve to insult anyone with an IQ above that of our fearless CEO. Whether we look at US domestic policy or US foreign policy it has become clear that the Bush Administration has failed in all areas of both. The world opinion of the US is grim. The US is seen as the world's largest terrorist state because of its illegal unilateralist actions to establish a Pax Americana. The very fact alone that the United States under-went a political transformation during the 2000 non-violent coup and quickly set out to adopt it's policies dreamed up by Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, Rice, Kristol, Feith, Bolton, Libby, Abrams, Ridge, Poindexter, Rove, Card - inhale- and the rest of the NeoClown Circus was enough to turn the world against it. The fact that each of it's policies have failed miserably in the eyes of the international community has vilified Americans and made the world much less secure. To put it simply, the perpetual war on terrorism to protect the homeland has isolated Americans and pissed of the rest of the world.

The latest blunder from the White House is that of two of its top level aides leaked information to journalist Andrew Novak that the wife of former Ambassador Joe Wilson is a CIA agent. This was apparently in retaliation for Wilson's coming forward and claiming that he had been sent by the CIA to investigate the fraudulent claim that Niger had sole Uranium Yellow cakes to Iraq. While the US public and Congress are calling for an independent investigation into which `most insidious' traitor was responsible for this crime, it has for the time being been handed over to John Ashcroft to deal with, where we are certain to expect an honest and unadulterated inquiry.

Like the Hutton inquiry regarding the `Sexed-Up' Dossier, used to persuade the British Parliament to authorize the use of force against the UK, this inquiry will likely show that no one, in fact, released any information (and that we are all in paranoid anti-patriot land). The UK case is the exact parallel to what is happening in the US in that it was the Niger uranium yellow-cake claims which the administration knowingly lied about to pressure Congress into singing resolution 107-243. When Joe Wilson declared that he had been sent to Niger at the behest of Cheney's office and came back with no evidence supporting the claim that Cheney was seeking to establish, the Bush Administration sought to intimidate Wilson and others from acting in a similar fashion.

A critical piece of info to bear in mind in all of this is that ordinarily the intelligence agency will investigate things they believe are of importance. In this case, Cheney and Libby went to the CIA and asked them to come up with information supporting their claims- the opposite of the way things usually take place within the intelligence community. Even the National Intelligence Estimate cited by the Administration has admittedly gaping holes regarding Iraq's WMD program. As it turns out, Iraq efourreasons.org/davidkay.htm" does not have the WMD the Administration claimed they did. Rumsfeld, et al, are of course saying that they need more time and $600,000,000. Isn't more time what the UN and international community was asking for to verify, or disprove, the existence of WMD in Iraq- or, rather, the existence of a WMD program, or even a few scientists who might want to build some bombs.

With regard to international policy, The Bush Administration has violated just about every international law I can think of- not to mention the US Constitution. US foreign policy is no longer run by State. Instead, US foreign policy is controlled by the Department of Defense and the Pentagon, the dictates of which preemptive wars to protect American interests abroad are the main strategy for achieving world supremacy. As Chomsky states, “Preventive war is, very simply, the 'supreme crime' condemned at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals."

In invading a sovereign nation without a security council resolution authorizing the use of force, or a declaration of war issued by congress, this administration has engaged in a policy which can only be seen by the international community as a completely arrogant and empirical transition from the US as a member of an international community which , many years in the making, has struggled to create and maintain the integrity of countless international organizations and treatises to prevent nations from precisely what the US has chosen to do.

The US has left a brutal mess flourishing in Afghanistan, where US troops and civilians are killed on a regular basis. Pre-taliban warlords, the very same ones provided with cash and military equipment by the US during it's Mujahadeen war against the former soviet Union, have taken over much of the country and there is little safety or security for women and children.

In Iraq conditions are much the same. The Neocons have blundered terribly in their gross underestimation of what would be necessary to stabilize Iraq. That or they fully intended to leave it in chaos while they raped the Iraqis of their culture, history, land, and natural resources. What else could they have been thinking, that the Shiites, Sunni's and Kurds were going to sit down to tea and crumpets. Perhaps the Project for the New American Century has other plans for destabilizing the nation. Their product “ Rebuilding America's Defenses” directly states this, as does a craftwork from some of the very same people about four years prior (1996) - written for the Israeli government under Netanyahu - entitled “ A Clean Break, A New Strategy for Securing the Realm”. Needles to say that the realm has never been less secure and that Iraqi's and American's are getting killed and maimed on an hourly basis. The Israeli Palestine `conflict' has never been better- in the eyes of Sharon and his Zionist friends in Washington.

…And the US has been hit by record deficits never before even imagined. Jobs are lost by the millions and the rich get their taxes cut while military personal are getting their benefits slashed. All of this while the US is planning a new line of tactical nuclear weapons to deter everyone else from developing them.

In the mean time, there is no Bin Laden, no Saddam, no WMD, and an apparently endless stream of lies emanating from the `Pent'-House.

Maybe now that Bush's' approval rating has sunk there will be a renewed call for impeachment.
