- "I know from the private Republican polls (the ones
you never see and never get into the media) that they are in serious danger
of losing control of the government come November. The problem is that
although the rank and file, and the leadership, know this, they cannot
communicate to Bush that sea changes have to be made, at least cosmetic
ones, or public anger will get to the point that impeachment is a probability.
-
- Frankly, our President is a nut. He won't listen to anyone
and does what he wants. The stupid twit actually believes he is some kind
of God and can do anything he likes whenever he likes it. Thank God Bush
doesn't get the urge to shoot a hunting rifle at passing tourists. His
bizarre and distasteful sex life coupled with his binge drinking makes
him a true menace. People thought a lecherous Clinton was bad but this
one makes Clinton look like St. Vincent DePaul by comparison.
-
- The leadership has more or less decided that since Bush
will not change, he will simply have to go to save the rest of them or,
if they are ideologues, for the common good. For themselves, not necessarily
for the American people.
-
- Although Bush stubbornly refuses to release any document
which he feels might make him look bad, others are doing just that. Tens
of thousands of pages of memos, reports, notes, tapes, and all kinds of
priceless milestones on George W. Bush's journey to the underworld are
being assembled and studied for possible "leaks."
-
- I have seen some of these and am now going to do my frightened
friends a huge favor by publishing some of the more awful ones.
-
- For example: According to in-house memos now circulating,
the DHS has issued orders to banks across America which announce to them
that "under the Patriot Act" (whatever that crap means) the DHS
has the absolute right to seize, without any warrant whatsoever, any and
all customer bank accounts, to make "periodic and unannounced"
visits to any bank to open and inspect the contents of "selected safe
deposit boxes." Further, these boxes, taken from a DHS list of people
who are considered "hostile to the present government, citizens who
have visited outside the United States before or after 9/11 to countries
now considered to be hostile to this country" " :Russia, Peoples
Republic of China, Mexico, Guatemala, Spain, Italy, Egypt, France, Syria,
Lebanon, Libya, Turkey or the Sudan" or any citizen who has a bank
account in any of those listed countries are considered to be of legitimate
interest in the "ongoing investigations into foreign and domestic
terrorism."
-
- Further, the DHA "shall, at the discretion of the
agent supervising the search, remove, photograph or seize as evidence"
any of the following items"bar gold, gold coins, firearms of any kind
unless manufactured prior to 1878, documents such as passports or foreign
bank account records, pornography or any material that, in the opinion
of the agent, shall be deemed of to be of a contraband nature."
-
- DHS memos also state that banks are informed that any
bank employee, on any level, that releases "improper" "classified
DHS Security information" to any member of the public, to include
the customers whose boxes have been clandestinely opened and inspected
and "any other party, to include members of the media" and further
"that the posting of any such information on the internet will be
grounds for the immediate termination of the said employee or employees
and their prosecution under the Patriot Act."
-
- Currently, the two major targets of these completely
illegal and warrantless searches and seizures, are the California-based
Bank of America and the Compass Bank. The former is one of the largest
banks in the United States and Compass Bank ( Compass Bancshares, Inc).
is a $30.1 billion Southwestern financial holding company which operates
385 full-service banking centers including 139 in Texas, 89 in Alabama,
73 in Arizona, 42 in Florida, 32 in Colorado and 10 in New Mexico.
-
- Of extraordinary interest to the DHS are Bank of America
records relating to their Bank Of America 'SafeSend Money to Mexico' program.
-
- It should be noted that the DHS states that "in
the event that the owners of these confiscated objects do not file an administrative
complaint within three (3) months subsequent to said confiscation, the
aforesaid items shall pass to the permanent custody of the DHS"
-
- Isn't that wonderful? You and your wife are visiting
relatives in France, Uncle Einar's $100,000 collection of gold coins is
lifted out of your box and you don't get back to the United States for
two months and don't check your looted box for another four months. My,
some nice DHS person, or maybe two, has a nice new BMW to show off to his
neighbors. Tough luck, Uncle Einar!
-
- Oh, and you might like to know that the spate of "robberies"
of bank credit card and personal data that took place in and around February
of 2005, were not robberies at all. The DHS, using its muscle, simply went
off with trucks full of data to mine at their leisure. The banks involved
said nothing, and will say nothing. If they do, their people will be at
a nice Federal country club, making shoes for the Army while the DHS bosses,
to include the FEMA thieves, will be buying property on Rodeo Drive in
Beverly Hills or Palm Desert. Or some nice marina like Marine del Ray to
keep their nice new 150' yacht.
-
- To date, in California alone (the only report I have
seen) over 1,500 banks have been "visited" and boxes rifled between
January, 2005 and January, 2006.
-
- Next time, something about DARPA to amuse and entertain
you all."
