- Now that mainstream media bias is an established fact
and recognized as such by the mainstream reading and viewing public, the
revelation of Vice President Dick Cheney's total unilateral control over
all levels and branches of American government has not only raised eyebrows
and concerns of dictatorship, but for those politically astute, begs the
question as to why theWashington Post would be the journalistic vehicle
to publish the four-part June 24 through June 27 series exposing this reality.
-
- The Post's publisher, Donald E. Graham, has once again
participated in the annual secret Bilderberg conclave, the latter the principal
organizational player whose membership is made up of extremely high-level
international bankers, mass media publishers, corporatists in both the
oil industry and the military-industrial complex, and other principal international
political movers and shakers. Bilderberg's primary objective is a one
world global government, the New World Order. And the NWO will be phased
in via the European and then the North American Union.
-
- Is it safe to say that the most recent Bilderberg <http://www.bilderberg.org/2007.htm>meeting,
held in Istanbul May 31 to June 3rd, considered the most vital issues confronting
future global government? And of course, those issues would have been
1) Iraq, and 2) Iran. It is clear that American, British and Israeli control
over Mid East oil is definitely on the agenda in their lockstep, jackboot
march to deliver US all to the New World Order. This triumvirate is the
world's "real axis of evil."
-
- Mountain ranges of corporate money have been provided
to Congress by lobbyists and corporatists representing the oil industry,
military weapons contractors, AIPAC, banking and media interests, to not
only buy into American government, but to where their "investments"
have now facilitated total control of America. They have replaced what
was once reserved as the exclusive representative domain of the people
of the United States, which allowed the latter their collective voice in
government. And the people's representatives, after abandoning America's
interests, have turned over congressional war-making powers to Bush, who
has in turn delegated virtually all of his presidential duties to Vice
President Richard B. Cheney. And Cheney-Bush are profiting personally
via heavy investment interests in oil and an oil support industry giant
[Halliburton].
-
- Constitutionally speaking, the Office of Vice President
of the United States of America has no duties. This inefficate position
in the executive branch serves only as President of the Senate, and then
functions legislatively only in an extremely narrow capacity to break a
deadlocked vote. Complaints about the "do-nothing" status of
the vice president's role and function date back toAmerica's first Vice
President, John Adams.
-
- Considering the absence of constitutionally mandated
responsibilities, it should be clear that at least from a regulatory and
legal standpoint, there's little to nothing a vice president can do wrong;
he has, basically, no executive branch functions. And it is for this reason
that Congressman Dennis Kucinich's House Resolution 333, seemed at first,
to be a wrong-headed exercise in partisan politics hand wringing.
-
- But that was before the Washington Post launched its
four-part series. The Post is a nationally recognized bastion of the American
mass media. It is the paper of <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/watergate/index.html>Watergate
fame, the paper of Bradlee, Bernstein and Woodward. And considering all
that the Cheney-Bush regime has done to launch NWO, the attempted legalization
of Mexican illegals, the private "negotiations" between Bush
and the heads of Canada and Mexico to dissolve totally our borders to create
a North American Union, the United States' unilateral abolition of the
Geneva Conventions and other international treaties ensuring and protecting
the sovereignty of independent nations, why would Graham's Washington Post
now attack Bilderberg's "dream team?"
-
- Obviously, something is up with the planners and conspirators
maneuvering the human race into a one world global government. The Post
series, written by staff writers Barton Gellman and Jo Becker, would never
have been allowed off the ground and would have never been accorded so
much focus unless it was sanctioned and possibly even urged by the Bilderbergs.
And consider the appearance of the series so shortly after the latter's
annual secret meeting. So what's up?
-
- It can only be speculated since the movement for global
government is so secret. That is why everything the Cheney-Bush crime
machine does is a matter of "national security." 9/11 was indeed
an inside job perpetrated by Cheney-Bush; it is the source of their unlimited
dictatorial power. But if they arranged 9/11, why the suspension of our
Bill of Rights and why the intense spying on Americans? The answer is
obvious: they fear Americans will find out, organize, and plan an armed
rebellion. They do not fear al Qaeda, because al Qaeda doesn't exist,
or at least it didn't exist in terms of planning and executing 9/11. No,
Cheney-Bush intend to enslave America, strip it of its national identity,
and serve US all up to the New World Order. Multizillionaire international
banker David Rockefeller has already admitted to the latter effort.
-
- Apparently, something has happened to interfere with
the bankers' plans and schedule. Perhaps Cheney-Bush have provided too
much evidence of their criminal and treasonist intentions, and the threat
of an armed rebellion is now looming larger than ever. Perhaps a military
coup is in the wind. Or perhaps, the unpopularity of the Cheney-Bush dictatorship
is causing even the world conspirators to fractionalize. Whatever it is,
something must be up to have triggered the Gellman-Becker series.
-
- The exposé has now provided solid evidence that
Cheney is running the show and is therefore definitely impeachable. As
Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer and a former associate deputy attorney
general under Ronald Reagan wrote in his June 27th article, "Impeach
Cheney" and posted in <http://www.slate.com/toolbar.aspx?action=print&id=2169292>Slate,
"Under Dick Cheney, the office of the vice president has been transformed
from a tiny acorn into an unprecedented giant oak. In grasping and exercising
presidential powers, Cheney has dulled political accountability and concocted
theories for evading the law and the Constitution that would have embarrassed
King George III."
-
- Fein continues: "The most recent invention we know
of is the vice president's insistence that an executive order governing
the handling of classified information in the executive branch does not
reach his office because he also serves as president of the Senate. In
other words, the vice president is a unique legislative-executive creature
standing above and beyond the Constitution. The House judiciary committee
should commence an impeachment inquiry. As Alexander Hamilton advised
in the Federalist Papers, an impeachable offense is a political crime against
the nation. Cheney's multiple crimes against the Constitution clearly
qualify."
-
- During the Clinton administration, Bill Clinton "wrote
legislation" via executive orders. The opposition's beef at the time
was that such presidential fiat executive orders were not national law,
but were instead confined to operational directives within the executive
branch alone. Now Cheney explains his vision that executive orders do
not apply to the executive branch of government, and if they do, they don't
apply to him because he has decided he isn't in the executive branch of
government. That's not what is written in the Constitution. His arrogant
defiance of the United States Constitution and an executive order that
applies directly to him constitute the very political crimes attorney Bruce
Fein pointed out were in violation of the rule of law of this nation.
-
- And although the Gellman-Becker Post series started out
promisingly enough, and in spite of the fact that it still evidences a
refreshing air of professional journalism, Part I of the series defining
Cheney's criminal dictatorial control gives way later in the series to
a condoning tone and a dimension of approval articulating Cheney's exceptional
talent in cutting through the mire of government bureaucracy red tape to
arrive expeditiously at common sense solutions. The plight of the Klamath
basin farmers in opposing the federal Environmental Protection Agency,
a cause resoundingly favored by "conservatives" who hate the
bureaucratic stupidity of big government, was presented by the "liberal"
Washington Post as a case in point as to Cheney's astonishing and beneficent
vision. Huh?! Championing the rights of individuals trying to earn profits
over caring, compassionate, Big Brother government is now a cause for the
Washington Post?
-
- As stated, the series does indeed expose Cheney's dictatorial
control, but before the series is over, this dictatorial control is offered
up as "good" dictatorship. Perhaps this is the real purpose
of the series, to admit to Cheney's total control of America, but to blunt
its horror and danger by pointing out evidence of beneficence. And considering
that no more mention of this horrible anomaly in American government can
be found anywhere in the mass media, it would seem that its timing and
shock effect would wear off quickly given the newspaper mentality and short
collective memory of the American public. Again, it is most difficult
to surmise the real intent of the series.
-
- Part I is the most shocking in terms of describing how
one individual controls ALL in American government. Here's an example
from the opening paragraph: "Just past the Oval Office, in the private
dining room overlooking the South Lawn, Vice President Cheney joined President
Bush at a round parquet table they shared once a week. Cheney brought
a four-page text, written in strict secrecy by his lawyer. He carried
it back out with him after lunch.
-
- In less than an hour, the document traversed a West Wing
circuit that gave its words the power of command. It changed hands four
times, according to witnesses, with emphatic instructions to bypass staff
review. When it returned to the Oval Office, in a blue portfolio embossed
with the presidential seal, Bush pulled a felt-tip pen from his pocket
and signed without sitting down. Almost no one else had seen the text."
-
- The article continues: "Cheney's proposal had become
a military order from the commander in chief. Foreign terrorism suspects
held by the United States were stripped of access to any court -- civilian
or military, domestic or foreign. They could be confined indefinitely
without charges and would be tried, if at all, in closed 'military commissions.'"
-
- Is this the way American laws should be written? Does
this align with Constitutional constraints that provide for a separation
of powers and checks and balances to ensure individual freedoms? "Suspects"
are now designated as such by the government's executive branch, and proof
in a court of law is now no longer required. And what is to differentiate
between a terror suspect and any other kind of suspect? And how about
members of a political opposition are they also "terrorists"
because they disagree with this criminal administration? Only Cheney and
Bush now have this power, which they gave to themselves!
-
- Even members of Bush's own administration were outraged
by this dictatorial fiat. Gellman and Becker elaborate after members of
the Bush regime found out about the fiat while still in the dark as to
its origin: "'What the hell just happened?' Secretary of State Colin
L. Powell demanded, a witness said, when CNN announced the order that evening,
Nov. 13, 2001. National security adviser Condoleezza Rice, incensed, sent
an aide to find out. Even witnesses to the Oval Office signing said they
did not know the vice president had played any part."
-
- As much as Cheney covets total control protected by total
secrecy, Gellman and Becker note that, "Cheney expresses indifference,
in public and private, to any verdict but history's, and those close to
him say he means it." But isn't this the same outlook that can be
attributed to Hitler and Stalin? Isn't it the same indifference and arrogance
that justifies "breaking some eggs to make an omelet?"
-
- In the opinion of this writer, there is more behind Cheney's
quest for unlimited power, shrouded in absolute secrecy, and all-encompassing
in every matter of federal government control. And the article makes it
clear, that anyone who crosses Cheney gets wasted. Gellman and Becker
point out to the sharp differences of opinion and the conflicts that former
EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman had with Cheney, differences that
led her to eventually resign from the agency. They mention former Attorney
General John Ashcroft's differences with Cheney, also leading to his resignation.
The article documents Cheney's meddling with both the EPA and the Department
of Justice. And his pressuring the CIA for fraudulent intelligence to
justify the invasion of Iraqis now well known.
-
- The Washington Post's Gellman-Becker series is, whatever
the reason for its airing, an absolute masterpiece of journalism, but not
for reasons that are immediately obvious. It's not the writing style,
nor is it even the revelations resultant from intense investigative reporting.
Perhaps the real benefits of the article have been totally missed by Graham
and the Post's executive staff. The expose answers two not so obvious
questions: first, why do we have such an incompetent fool as president,
and second, why does such an incompetent fool wield so much power and is
so assertive regarding "his" decisions? The series provides
the answer: Dick Cheney.
-
- For early on in the quest to rid America of a very popular
yet very destructive president, Cheney's name came up as a dedicated American
to replace a dedicated internationalist. And this may be the real reason
for the subdued attack/exposure on Cheney. It may not be his fascism that
offends, but his nationalism. Perhaps it's Cheney's vision for a New World
Order controlled byWashington that bothers the Bilderberg internationalists.
And it is this same nationalism which turned off the bankers to both Hitler
and Stalin. But there is no need to speculate the connection between Cheney
and Bush.
-
- Undoubtedly, Cheney was the GOP's pick to replace Clinton.
But because of his heart problems, Cheney would never win a presidential
election. Enter stage right, G. Bush, a simpleton, and an obedient and
virtually clueless stooge. Bush serves not only as the buffoon heat sink
for the GOP dictatorship, but is also its "decider" as related
in the Post's series when describing how Cheney writes law and Bush decides
to sign without either reading or understanding what it is that he is signing.
The series explores how Cheney decides on everything that is within the
federal government's purview.
-
- The series explains Cheney's involvement and direct supervision
and control over the Department of Justice, his intimidation of the EPA,
his power over the CIA, his total control of foreign policy, and his total
control over the White House staff and Bush. Gellman and Becker try to
paint the picture that Bush retains some identity distinct from Cheney's
oversight, but at least for this observer, it simply doesn't work. I'm
convinced that Cheney is behind EVERYTHING this dangerous, corrupt and
criminal regime has perpetrated. And that would include 9/11!
-
- As Dr. David Ray Griffin has pointed out in his latest
book, both the 9/11 Commission report and the government-sanctioned released
tapes falsify the timeframe wherein Cheney was in the bunker on 9/11.
After reading the Post series, can there be any doubt as to who was in
charge on that awful day? Can there be any doubt as to who really ordered
those WTC buildings to be "pulled?" Can there be any doubt as
to who decided that certain attorneys in the Justice Department were to
be let go? And for Hillary and Congressman Nadler, can there be any doubt
as to who made the phone call to EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman
directing her to lie about the condition of the pulverized glass, concrete
and steel in the dust and smoke of the disintegrated WTC buildings? Hillary
demanded to know who gave the order to Whitman; now we know!
-
- The benefit of this journalistic effort has little to
do with presentation; it has everything to do with timeliness and the solving
of the types of mysteries such as Hillary and Congressman Nadler were looking
into. Can one imagine the anger in Whitman for having to take the fall
for the very guy that forced her to resign? Here are Gellman and Becker
again: "Stealth is among Cheney's most effective tools. Man-size
Mosler safes, used elsewhere in government for classified secrets, store
the workaday business of the office of the vice president. Even talking
points for reporters are sometimes stamped 'Treated As: Top Secret/SCI.'
Experts in and out of government said Cheney's office appears to have
invented that designation, which alludes to 'sensitive compartmented information,'
the most closely guarded category of government secrets. By adding the
words 'treated as,' they said, Cheney seeks to protect unclassified work
as though its disclosure would cause 'exceptionally grave damage to national
security.'"
-
- And, "Across the board, the vice president's office
goes to unusual lengths to avoid transparency. Cheney declines to disclose
the names or even the size of his staff, generally releases no public calendar
and ordered the Secret Service to destroy his visitor logs. His general
counsel has asserted that 'the vice presidency is a unique office that
is neither a part of the executive branch nor a part of the legislative
branch,' and is therefore exempt from rules governing either. Cheney is
refusing to observe an executive order on the handling of national security
secrets, and he proposed to abolish a federal office that insisted on auditing
his compliance." Have you ever seen a better description of a total
dictatorship?
-
- If the evidence wasn't there before, it sure as hell
is now! Cheney is absolutely guilty as charged, and Congress now has the
evidence. Congressman Kucinich hit the nail perfectly on the head, and
the time for Congress to nail the Cheney-Bush regime is long overdue.
Nothing more needs to be written or said about the Cheney-Bush regime;
it's now all been said. And in conjunction with the continuously mounting
scientific evidence proving the 9/11 terrorist acts as being inside jobs,
we also know of Cheney's modus operandi and his commitment to history instead
of his required dedication to America and its people. Has there ever been
a more immoral character than Cheney capable of the expression "the
public be damned?"
-
- As Bruce Fein wrote after reading the Post series, "Cheney
must be impeached!" Fein documents the long list of criminal activities
the Bush administration, now proven to be under the total control of Cheney,
has perpetrated against the American people and the entire human race for
which the administration, the Congress, AND the American people must now
all be held accountable for in the eyes of our Creator. How many letters
have you sent to your congressional representatives and senators? How
many discussion groups or activist groups have you joined or participated
in? Should you come up with a negative response, then YOU are guilty as
well! Anyone who remains silent witnessing these egregious crimes and
the evil of merely one "human" being should consider themselves
an accessory, before, during and after the fact. It is time to impeach,
sentence and punish these most dangerous and evil criminals!
