For those of you who don’t remember a week or so ago an article was released on FamilySecurityMatters.org calling for Bush to attack Iran and become President for Life.
Here’s a link to the cache of the article, and here’s the URL for the original story:

As you can see they’re trying to hide this article, as they only wanted their brainwashed readers to see this, not smart people who use Digg and Reddit and see through this nonsense.
Update:
Thanks to Cliff Schecter for catching this, it looks like FSM has none other than Dick Cheney on their Board.
Of course I checked and he’s not listed on their page about the board, so who knows if he’s right.
What is funny is that the board is full of ex-government employees in charge of propaganda, oh I mean press relations, and lots of professional liars, oops again, I mean public affairs and public relations people.
I really wish people would stop saying “Congress legalizes spying” or “Congress passes Bush Spy Law”
Here’s a crazy one from Wired:
Come on. By saying that the bill actually legalized activities that can never be legal under our Constitution they give undue credit to the Bush Administration’s argument. This is the propaganda right here, the really good stuff. This is how they get you, by legitimizing a ridiculous statement with another in the media.
The headline I want to see is “President Bush and Congress attempting to ILLEGALLY violate the 4th Amendment”
That is what has happened. Our Congress has once again demonstrated its complicity in enabling the Bush Administration to run completely amok.
Of course, so have I, and so have you, and so has everyone else. I’m fed up with the blatant disregard for anything besides their masters wishes. It’s time to dethrone the people behind the curtain, the ones who have so completely controlled America for the last 100 years that hardly anyone even speaks of them anymore.
Denying the truth, that America has literally been taken over, and our entire Government is an act, there to let us believe we have a Republic is what they want, it’s what they need. Without that their whole charade comes to a halt.
That’s right, our Congress has rubber stamped a bill written by the Bush Administration that is supposed to make warrantless wiretapping okay, even though the Congress has no Authority to grant Unconstitutional powers to the Executive.
From the article:
“After months of prodding by House Republicans, Congress has finally closed the terrorist loophole in our surveillance law — and America will be the safer for it,” declared House Minority Leader John Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
The terrorist loophole? Is this guy for real?
Face it folks, our country is basically gone. Every Congressman and Senator that voted yes on this bill is a traitor, point blank.
The questions is what are we going to do about it?
The Bush Administration has once again declared itself above the law. Of course this is a conclusion you have to come to by yourself, as you won’t hear that from the mainstream media. Instead they say the President has claimed “executive privilege” as if this actually means something.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE
The idea that the media plays along with this nonsense is proof itself that they are working in collusion with the Bush Administration to give the idea of executive privilege legitimacy. By doing so they are guilty of treason against the US Constitution, by colluding to turn our Republic into a Dictatorship.
You can’t argue that Bush isn’t acting like a dictator. Here are the definition:
dic·ta·tor (dĭk’tā’tər, dĭk-tā’-) pronunciation
n.
1.
1. An absolute ruler.
2. A tyrant; a despot.
2. An ancient Roman magistrate appointed temporarily to deal with an immediate crisis or emergency.
3. One who dictates: These initials are those of the dictator of the letter.
ty·rant (tī’rənt) pronunciation
n.
1. An absolute ruler who governs without restrictions.
2. A ruler who exercises power in a harsh, cruel manner.
3. An oppressive, harsh, arbitrary person.
des·pot (dĕs’pət) pronunciation
n.
1. A ruler with absolute power.
2. A person who wields power oppressively; a tyrant.
3.
1. A Byzantine emperor or prince.
2. An Eastern Orthodox bishop or patriarch.
You can’t really sum it up any better than that.
Is this American? Is this what we want our children to grow up with? The longer we as a people, as Americans, put off dealing with this situation, the bigger losses we’ll suffer when we do finally address it.
Enough is enough.
“if the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts.”
-George H.W. Bush
How can these elitists say this kind of stuff and get away with it?
I guess confessions to treason just aren’t what they used to be.
I think Hoover said it best:
“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”
-J. Edgar Hoover, ex-FBI director on the New World Order conspiracy
More and more people are starting to believe it exists. Now we just need sturdy lamp posts and a bunch of rope.
If you can’t pour a beer without spilling it, you’re not qualified to run this country.
So I was reading the LA Times and I saw this little blurb about an American Citizen who was arrested in the US, declared an “enemy combatant” and put in a military brig where he was tortured for 44 months without being charged with any crime.
Then, just before the Supreme Court was going to rule on whether or not you can declare an American Citizen who is arrested in the US an “enemy combatant” the Bush Administration had Padilla transferred into federal custody and charged with a crime.
It turn out his lawyers brought up Padilla’s Constitutional right to a speedy trial, believing that that they had been violated. Turns out they weren’t:
Accused Al Qaeda operative Jose Padilla was held in military detention without charges as an enemy combatant for three years and eight months, but his constitutional right to a speedy trial has not been violated, a federal judge ruled in Miami.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke refused to scrap the terrorism charges that Padilla faces, saying, “Dismissal of the indictment is not appropriate at this time.”
Padilla was arrested May 8, 2002, and declared an enemy combatant by President Bush the next month. During the following years at the Navy brig in Charleston, S.C., Padilla was repeatedly interrogated about terrorism activities, but he was not formally charged until November 2005. His trial is set for April 16.
This guy is an American Citizen. He has all the same rights you and I have. That means they can do this to you and me.
They can arrest you and hold you indefinitely without charges.
They can torture you.
They can use evidence gained through torture against you.
They can use secret evidence against you.
They can try you without a jury of your peers.
They can execute you, even without trying you.
How did this happen in America? Anyone remember the Military Commissions Act of 2006?
Add that to Operation Falcon and things start getting scary.
Throw in the John Warner Natinoal Defense Authorization Act
What if the war was against us?
Well, it’s not really a “draft”, it’s “National Service” but it just happened to be introduced on the same day as the ’surge’ of additional troops in Iraq was announced in the media, and later confirmed by Bush’s State of the Union Speech.
Introduced by Rep. Rangel, the act would:
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make permanent the favorable treatment afforded combat pay under the earned income tax credit, and for other purposes.
One good thing about this bill is it looks like there will be a limitation on recruitment into the armed services:
(b) Limitation on Induction for Military Service- Persons described in section 102(a) may be inducted to perform military service only if–
(1) a declaration of war is in effect;
(2) the President declares a national emergency, which the President determines necessitates the induction of persons to perform military service, and immediately informs Congress of the reasons for the declaration and the need to induct persons for military service; or
(3) members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps are engaged in a contingency operation pursuant to a congressional authorization for the use of military force.
Oh, wait. We’ve been living under at least one of these conditions almost continually for the last 30 years, and right now #2 and #3 are in effect.
So, what does this mean? I believe it means that we are getting ramped up to greatly expand the use of our armed services around the globe. The next obvious target is Iran. Also on the list is Syria, North Korea, and Venezuela. And that’s just the immediate list. Who knows what else these maniacs are planning.
The Univeral National Service Act of 2007
ABC has reported (link) that at least ninety advanced troops from the 82nd Airborne Division have arrived in Baghdad today, with an additional 800 troops expected to arrive on Thursday.
These additional troops represent the first wave of what is expected to be a surge of 20,000 additional troops.
Apparently Bush’s speech tonight to announce his “new plan” in Iraq will only confirm actions that have already begun.
In response to the expected announcement from Bush Democrats in Congress have already started working on a way to stop Bush from carrying out his surge. Today legislation was introduced in an attempt to block funding for Bush’s increase in troop levels.
While that tidbit is being played out in the media the fact that Bush has been financing the war mostly without any approved funding from Congress is being completely ignored.
I see this panning out one of two ways:
1. The Dems will block funding, while asking Bush to justify the need for more troops. After some “debate” a “compromise” will be reached, and more troops will go in.
2. The Dems will pass legislation blocking funding for increasing troop levels and Bush will do it anyways.
This would not surprise me at all. Tony Snow has already said that Bush doesn’t necessarily need Congresses permission to increase troop levels:
Q- But in terms of anything out of the Pentagon — the troops, deployment, any of the programs we initiate - the President, alone, has the authority to –
MR. SNOW: You know what, I don’t want to play junior constitutional lawyer on this, so let’s wait until we see what happens, if you have specific questions about constitutional authority. But, you know, Congress has the power of the purse. The President has the ability to exercise his own authority if he thinks Congress has voted the wrong way.
So, according to Snow, if Bush doesn’t like the way Congress votes he can override it?
Sounds an awful lot like a Dictator to me.
Honestly, I hope it works out with something like #2 above. The quickest way to get rid of a dictator is to make him act like one.
