- Last night, President Bush delivered the State of the
Union Address, a speech that had to be written for him by our masters (though,
in all fairness, Bush did pretty much keep his crayons within the lines).
-
- Incredibly enough, Bush claimed that "we are winning"
in Iraq.
-
- Even though it has become plain that America never will
escape from Iraq with her dignity, Bush ruled out a withdrawal by saying,
"If we were to leave these vicious attackers alone, they would not
leave us alone. They would simply move the battlefield to our own shores."
Via all those Iraqi and Palestinian aircraft carriers, no doubt.
Words. Just words. Spoken only as a man who ran from war when
it was his turn could speak them.
-
 Bush called for all of us to "stand
behind the American military." I agree. We should show
our total support of our sons and daughters in uniform by bringing them
home tomorrow. Then we can get busy court martialing the generals
and impeaching the sickening excuse for a man now occupying the Oval Office.
-
- As expected, Bush repeatedly set up the coming invasion
of Iran. "And we do not forget...Syria, Burma, Zimbabwe, North
Korea and Iran because the demands of justice, and the peace of this world,
require their freedom as well."
-
- Bush did settle the question as to who gets to start
the festivities in Iran when he claimed that "Iran...sponsors terrorists
in the Palestinian territories and in Lebanon, and that must come to an
end. The Iranian government is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions,
and the nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain
nuclear weapons." Did you just hear him invite Israel to bomb
the hell out of Iran? I did. Guess who gets to go in afterward
and do the dirty work? Right. Your kids and mine. Have
you picked out your son's burial plot yet?
-
- At least Bush honestly drew the battle line when he said,
"And one of the main sources of reaction and opposition is radical
Islam." I've said it before and I'll say it again: This
is not a war on "terrorism," it is a war on Islam, blood enemy
of Israel and its bullyboy, the United States of America.
-
- Bush's true allegiance became clear when, later in the
speech, he demanded that "the leaders of (Palestine's ruling party)
Hamas must recognize Israel, disarm, reject terrorism and work for lasting
peace." Remember that Palestinian children are the ones lobbing
rocks at the Israeli tanks rolling through their neighborhoods and who
are getting shot in the head by Israeli snipers as punishment for their
meager efforts to protect their sisters and brothers. Remember that
it was Rachel Corrie, peace activist, who was run down and brutally murdered
by an Israeli tank on Palestinian soil where she stood up for the right
of Palestinians simply to exist.
-
- And, what's this about Zimbabwe (nee Rhodesia)?
We're going to invade Zimbabwe? Yeah, right. That'll be the
day when we do anything to support the rights of downtrodden Whites anywhere
in the world.
-
- Once a year, at about this time, the President delivers
the State of the Union address. Tomorrow is Groundhog Day.
Many people have gotten these two events mixed up in their minds, which
is understandable. As someone over at Air America Radio once pointed
out: "It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless
ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication
while the other involves a groundhog."
-
-
 ..........
-
- Twins separated at birth?
- Coincidence?
- You be the judge.
-
- More important than anything Bush had to say was the
fact that Samuel Alito was confirmed and sworn in yesterday as America's
newest Supreme Court Justice. Alito was on hand last night to pay
homage to his Fuhrer, along with the other new shill in black robes, Chief
Justice Roberts, who demonstrated admirable restraint by eschewing those
ridiculous stripes that Rehnquist affected near the end of his tenure.
-
- The staged diversion this past week with Alito's confirmation
hearings was the abortion "issue." (I call it a diversion
because, at the Federal level, it shouldn't even be an issue, since the
now-discarded US Constitution reserves such questions for States to decide).
What got neglected in the Alito hearings was the vitally significant point
that his is the fifth vote to be added to the Supreme Court which can be
counted upon always to support the most expansive view of Presidential
power possible.
-
- Already irrelevant, the US Supreme Court has gone beyond
merely rubber stamping the Administration and now will be its direct extension.
Long ago, our congressmen got bought off by the same Neocons who pick all
the presidential candidates. That was before Zionists acquired the
designation of Neocon, which itself also is a diversion, incidentally.
Therefore, we now have a single branch of government, operating unhindered
by a Constitution or, even, its own laws. A branch run exclusively
by the same old gang: Zionist world bankers.
-
- Of course, America shifted to a single-party system (with
Democrat and Republican wings) quite a while ago - that's why so few vote
anymore. Not that voting matters, anyway, since it conclusively has been
proven that rampant voter fraud occurs even with the hand-picked candidates
who are allowed to run for office at every level in America.
-
 All that was missing from Bush's
speech last night was a rousing chorus of "Ein volk! Ein reich!
Ein Fuhrer!"
-
- Here is something that should send a chill down the spines
of all who consider themselves to be either liberal or conservative, Democrat
or Republican: I regularly see satisfaction expressed on many hard-core,
Nazi skinhead Internet forums with the progression of America ever deeper
into fascism. Why should this bother you? Because they say,
"Good. Now, when we come to power, the mechanisms already will
be there to implement our agenda." Think about that for a moment.
-
- Bush actually thinks he is doing good, believe it or
not - God's work, actually. That's how he can justify the means he
erects to accomplish his ends. The problem with means is that they
tend to outlast the ends.
-
- Let me repeat that last phrase for you Bush supporters.
It is the reality upon which the Nazi wannabes hang their hopes, you know.
Even ignoring all concern for fairness or justice, it is key to understanding
just why one must never allow ends to justify means. The problem
with means is that they tend to outlast the ends. And you can quote
me on that.
-
- One could argue quite convincingly that Abraham Lincoln
was the first real tyrant to expand Presidential powers and that it was
he who left the means lying around to be abused today. If so, then
Franklin Roosevelt deserves a healthy dose of credit for expanding them
well beyond Lincoln. Bush, however, has shown both Lincoln and Roosevelt
to have been pikers.
-
- Only insiders dared think of Roosevelt as vindictive
and only Southerners viewed Lincoln as evil, while neither were viewed
as being intellectually deficient. The vast majority of Americans
today, however, agree that George W. Bush is both venal and stupid.
-
- Perhaps the most telling moment of the President's speech
came before it began, when antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan, the officially
invited and legitimate guest of a Democrat congressman, was arrested in
the entryway and hauled away in cuffs. Why? Because she has
been a steadfast Bush critic, a thorn in his side. She officially
is a "dissenter," which now is a crime in America. Very
good, boys and girls. Yes, that is right. It is a pure thought
crime!
-
- Ms. Sheehan's treatment was explained during Bush's speech
when he said, "there is a difference between responsible criticism
that aims for success, and defeatism...second-guessing is not a strategy."
At least, not a strategy designed to keep you out of jail in America.
How odd that, a few minutes later, Bush added, "liberty is the right
and hope of all humanity." Remember the last Attorney General's
caution that we all "watch what (we) say?" Still think
we have free speech? Think again...but, keep it to yourself if you
expect to keep your "right" to liberty.
-
- And you can bet that Cindy Sheehan had to take the bus
to Washington, DC, because all who publicly disagree with this Administration
are being placed on the TSA "No-Fly" List and thus turned away
at all of America's airline departure gates. The "No-Fly"
List was started after 9-11 with a few hundred names, but has since swelled
to over 80,000 Americans. No, they won't tell you if your name is
on the list. You find out only if you show up, luggage in hand and
plans made. Guess whether I am on that list.
-
 Bush demanded that Congress "reauthorize
the Patriot Act," without even mentioning the dictatorial powers contained
within Patriot Act II, then he admitted that he had authorized all those
illegal NSA wiretaps since first he was sworn in. Then came the most
blatant lie of the evening: Bush said that "appropriate members
of Congress" had been notified of those wiretaps in advance.
This, of course, already has been denied by members of Congress.
-
- Not a mention of the secret prisons, the torture, the
many violations of both the Constitution (that "damned piece of paper")
and statutory law or so much else that has been wrong with this Presidency,
of course.
-
- Then Bush turned to the domestic front. The lies
and misrepresentations came so fast and furious that I was unable to take
comprehensive notes, but they all boiled down to: We're going to
cut taxes and increase spending, all while we cut the deficit in half during
the balance of Bush's term in office. The only thing missing was
a miracle involving fishes and loaves.
-
- The Democrats' response was given by Virginia's new governor,
who amiably trotted out a host of platitudes, all of which added up to
one thing: increase spending even more than Bush has promised.
-
- Clearly, a new day is dawning. The Beginning of
the End of America is over. So is the Middle. Now comes the
End of the End. Make no mistake. This is the Crack of Doom.
-
- Homeland Security just let another of those massive,
no-bid contracts to Halliburton, the company that still pays a salary to
Dick Cheney, believe it or not - this time to upgrade and maintain those
nonexistent detention camps scattered throughout the rural areas of America.
Thus, another urban myth becomes reality.
-
- And it has been leaked that, very soon now, Homeland
Security will be going through all bank safety deposit boxes and inventorying
their contents. Tomorrow is when you should go empty yours.
Not the next day. Tomorrow!
-
 As watchers of this space know
full well, gold and other precious metals suddenly are doing their classic
pre-World-War runup. When we go into Iran, which both Russia and
China deem to be within their strategic spheres of influence, truly World
War III will start. But, what choice do we have? Otherwise,
in March the dollar crashes due to establishment of the independent Iranian
oil bourse (marketplace) where all the world's oil will, for the first
time, be obtainable by presenting something other than dollar bills.
If all those overseas dollars then come marching home, you know what happens
and our masters, ever conscious of their personal wealth and indifferent
to our lot, simply cannot allow that to happen. So what if your son
dies in the process? No skin off their noses.
-
- Finally, Bush also stated last night that "the United
States of America supports democratic reform across the broader Middle
East." Unlike so many, I actually think that is terrific news.
If we can make democracy work elsewhere, then there is a chance, however
slim, that someday we might actually give it a try here in America!
