- The Congress of the United States, in theory, makes up
one third of the government. It's primary responsibilities include providing
a check on excessive powers in the other two branches, and in that capacity
they are responsible for oversight of the administration, and for approving
Budget's that must be approved by them-for the entire government to function.
-
- They failed to stop the illegal Supreme Court ruling,
in 2000, that in effect appointed George W. Bush to the presidency. After
911, the Congress granted extraordinary powers to the executive that in
effect made the executive into a full-blown dictator: as they had effectively
ceded their congressional powers to him for the duration of a war that
Bush says "shall never end." During the entire time from 2000
up to the present moment the Congress has yet to hold meaningful
examinations of any of the things that Cheney-Bush have done or are continuing
to do-going forward. These actions by the congress are crimes against
those people that they purport to serve, in their capacities as representatives
of the people in the Republic of the United States. The USA is not 'a
democracy' it is a Republic!
-
- In a democracy the majority rules absolutely. In a Republic
all people have a right to their own views, and minority opinion is supposed
to be protected from majority rule: this difference is paramount and is
the essence that is required to keep a free nation FREE! Congress
continues to maintain the fiction that there are two parties working in
this so-called system: That is simply not true!
- There is no formal opposition, and hasn't been for decades.
What there is may look like the congress's of old-but since at least
the end of WWII, every year has seen each congress grow ever- further from
the actual will of the people, that they were sent to Washington to theoretically
represent.
-
- Congress represents the Corporations and the 37,000 lobbyists
that pay extra for their time: and that wholeheartedly includes whatever
is good for the State of Israel: yet the wishes of American taxpayers
are no longer even considered by the congress, as having any real meaning.
That is the environment in which the so-called debate on the troop surge
is taking place. And as of today, long after Pelosi's "first hundred
hours" it appears that the New Congress is exactly the SAME-as-the-old-congress:
Thoroughly bought and paid for and definitely NOT there to do the bidding
of the people of the United States of America (1)
-
- The current quagmire is over whether or not to even have
a debate, about a non-binding resolution against the "decider's"
announced troop surge in Iraq. Too many of these fake representatives
are trying to term the pending non-binding- resolution as a vote against
"supporting the troops." That could easily be fixed! All that
needs to be included in the language is the recognition that what is being
challenged is not the funding for the troops but the lack of leadership
that wants to send those troops straight into certain death for no real
reason at all- except to continue the cover that the "Decider"
needs to fend off criticism until he can start his third war in this new
Millennium.
-
- The language should say: 'This resolution is intended
to stop commanding authorities from issuing orders that are and have many-
times-over, already proven to have failed. This resolution is aimed at
the commanders of our forces, all the way to the Commander-in- Chief, and
does not seek to deprive the troops of anything they need: Rather it seeks
to keep those troops already there alive, while it seeks to prevent more
men and women from going to their certain deaths at the hands of completely
incompetent commanders and policies-as can be seen from the last four
years of failed warfare!'
-
- As a footnote: both the Congress and the Pentagon, as
well as the Commander-in-Chief must take responsibility for following
exactly the same course in Baghdad, as did a different American armed
force, when the exact-same kinds of collaborative warfare practices (pretending
to train and arm the locals to "secure" the country) were used
in Saigon, Vietnam. It did not work in 1975 at the conclusion of that
twenty-five year war, and it will not work now. Iraq has something like
75% unemployment and starvation and disease are becoming real problems
along with the displacement of millions of people. There is virtually
no other 'occupation' available to Iraqi's except to join some kind of
force, just to stay alive. The fact that neither congress nor the Pentagon
seems to find any of that troubling, or even to be a factor in why the
war continues to intensify-make clear-some of the fallacies at the heart
of this darkness that is called the War-on-Iraq (2).
-
- When the White House announced its new Budget, it contained
$1.6 Trillion in domestic cuts for the programs that keep Americans alive,
and increases for the Pentagon, the War, and Israel-while seeking to make
the obscene "tax-cuts" permanent. "The Decider" promised
that only in this way could we obtain a balanced budget somewhere down
the road. You don't have to have a degree in economics to figure out that
this Budget is just more Snake-Oil and worth nothing at all to the national
dialogue.
-
- What needs to happen is that those previous tax-breaks
need to be retroactively reversed, and the money needs to go into reparations
for the war, to be paid to the displaced, the wounded, and the families
of the innocent dead. New, War-Profits-Taxes need to be levied on all
those corporations that have profited massively from this unilateral and
illegal war. The amount of the taxes ought to be drawn from a large percentage
of their questionable War-profits- according to the degree of transparency
provided to the public: The more secret the contracts, the higher the
taxes ought to be. Funds to continue the War should be cut to the minimum
needed to extract the troops and to provide for the humanitarian assistance
needed for the NGO's to begin to rebuild both the people and the country
of Iraq. Maybe some new people here might be able to find some diplomats
that haven't been involved in mass murders in this or the previous decades,
to represent US, and oversea the corrections needed, to begin to correct
what USA incorporated has done to the Middle-East. Of course none of this
will happen power never willingly surrenders its powers: but at
least it is clear that something has to change for all those people (both
here and there) who want their countries back!
-
- On the budget-a key to understanding just what a total
failure looks like is-is the cost of treating the wounded. That figure
translates now to sixteen wounded for every death reported. The costs
of treatment alone will run from $350 to $700 billion: and as soon as
light-on-the-debate is over, 'the decider' will begin to slash the hell
out of those military benefits, just as he has been doing all along.
- This is not part of "the costs of the war"
for a so-called president who thinks that the only thing he needs to worry
about is more weapons and mercenaries, and, he intends to pay for that
by slashing every social program that congress ever authorized- especially
those that affect the truly needy!
-
- The issues that this masquerade that calls itself the
Congress must deal with now are fundamental to the rights and liberties
of all Americans, and unless the crimes against the people are reversed
by congress, then we should just send congress home and cut-out the middlemen
by using AIPAC directly, instead of relying on the second- hand-hacks who
are posing as American congressmen and women. Yes it has come to that-and
no it cannot wait, or be postponed for another week or two or
- To whenever, the corrupt leadership in congress decides
to allow this issue to be heard (3).
-
- For this nation to have gone for nearly six years without
any congressional oversight whatsoever, lays it all out "on the
table" as politicians are so fond of saying. The public should give
their politicians the same harsh treatment that these imposters have been
giving others now for the last six years. We should assume their guilt
unless they can easily prove their innocence. There are perhaps a few
dozen who have tried mightily to do their jobs, and their efforts are
easy to see, just as the efforts of those who thwarted them, cannot really
remain a secret. Maybe a committee might want to ask Cheney why his financial
holdings are not in this country! Or some might want to delve into the
backgrounds of some of those perennially present members of the "old-guard"
that simply refuse to die. There also needs to be a limit on presidential
pardons for criminals, especially when those being pardoned actually worked
directly for the one giving the pardons. America has the filth of decades
to clean-up the background video speaks to some of this-but the
whole truth is far larger (4)
-
-
- ?Everyone in that group that's wedded to corporate plunderings
seems to know the price of everything and the value of nothing. And these
are the people that we have allowed to wreck the environment, to destroy
the value of diplomacy, and to erase the nation states that once held
so much of humanity together. In today's world the North-American-Union
is about to become a fact. That involves dissolving the borders between
Canada, the USA and Mexico; you can see the fragments of all three in
this preliminary logo. The dollar will become the Amero, and all of that
without being brought anywhere near public opinion. It's not scheduled
for a vote in congress, and it won't be a part of any campaign platform
because we're not supposed to know -until it "happens."
Google NAU, there's enough there to see this TREASON in its infancy-and
to begin to challenge this one-unless you don't mind losing this nation
literally!
-
- About the only escape clause from this obviously impossible
decent into the labyrinth, might be something like this: Each congress
is theoretically different from it predecessors. So if this congress
were to suddenly discover the testosterone to challenge the current status
quo-then maybe that might be enough to begin to turn the tide back to
being a nation in our own right again: Maybe not!
-
- One thing is clear, we cannot go on with business as
usual, and we must stop this war, before the two we have morphs into three.
Sorting out the crimes committed all round seems far too big to tackle
now, but with performance as a guide, a great deal could still be accomplished.
-
- Israel's influence must be SHUT DOWN and investigations
into her behavior beginning with the Attack on the USS Liberty must be
undertaken-or we need to all be granted Israeli citizenship, since it's
our money anyway! A start in this direction might begin with turning back
that obscenity that is pending in congress now; the one that seeks to
grant protection to Israel from scrutiny by anyone who has questions about
that countries so-called history. No other nation on this earth has ever
tried to classify the knowledge of its own history as a punishable offense
with prison-terms for anyone outside their own country, anyone that dares
to question, the supposed international historical record. So watch the
clip below and ask yourself if this man's 'cause' is just, or is
it just another cover-story for yet another power grab at the expense
of the rest of the world (5).
-
- Congress has FAILED, no question about that-now it's
up to us!
