Myth #9: The (fill in the blank) scandal is going to
bring down the House of Bush, or key members within it.
Some writers seem to have an obsession with predicting the imminent demise
of Team Bush (I'm thinking here again, for some reason, of Michael Ruppert),
as one scandal or another supposedly threatens to overtake the, uhmm, "neocons"
-- as though the dissemination of deliberately leaked 'limited hangouts,'
and other damage control measures, somehow indicates that the media has
suddenly decided to do its job.
The Plame scandal was, according to many, the one that was going to bring
Team Bush down. It gave a lot of lefties a chance to express outrage over
the outing of a CIA asset, and to absurdly claim that such an outing
threatens our national security, when all that is really threatened is
both the success of various covert operations aimed at expanding the
Western empire, and the well-being of the assets involved in those
operations.
Personally, I would like to see Team Bush expand on this new policy. In
fact, I think the names of all CIA assets around the world should be
published. Let the chips fall where they may. I'm guessing that more than
a few outed assets would be shipped home in roughly the same condition as
Charles Dean. I'm not suggesting here, mind you, that Charles was, you
know, a CIA asset or anything like that, even though his
ultra-conservative family has long been deeply connected. Charles just
happened to be backpacking around Laos at the time that a genocidal war
was being covertly waged there. I'm sure that a lot of pleasure-seekers
were backpacking around Laos at the time. And I'm also sure that little
brother Howard, being the 'liberal,' 'anti-war' candidate that he is,
never had any affiliation with the CIA. No, he has turned his back on his
family's money and politics -- not unlike, I suppose, that Osama bin Laden
guy. But here I digress ...
Myth #10: Team Bush's militarism and domestic repression is driven by a
'crisis' of global capitalism.
This school of thought holds that Team Bush's resort to more overtly
fascist rule is a desperate attempt to keep a failed system propped up. In
essence, this is yet another attempt to explain what is portrayed as a
significant break in the continuum of U.S. foreign and domestic policy.
But here again I must ask: what has really changed?
With a 'liberal,' pre-9/11 administration in place, we launched unprovoked
cruise missile strikes on two sovereign nations (Sudan and Afghanistan).
We intermittently bombed, throughout the entire 8-year administration, the
nation of Iraq, while simultaneously 'sanctioning' hundreds of thousands
of Iraqi civilians to early graves. We launched an unprovoked war of
aggression against Serbia, justified with stories of genocide and ethnic
cleansing that turned out to be - surprise! - lies. We openly flaunted
international law and then charged our victims with war crimes, even while
openly celebrating our own war crimes. We meddled covertly in the affairs
of countless nations. We enthusiastically embraced 'globalization,' 'free
markets' and 'free trade.' We cheered welfare 'reform,' just as many of us
now cheer Medicare 'reform.' We doubled the nation's prison population. We
expanded the use of the death penalty and expanded the reach of the FBI
and the CIA. We experienced 'terrorist' attacks at both the World Trade
Center and the Oklahoma City federal building, and those attacks were
followed by legislation that vastly expanded the repressive powers of the
state, setting the stage for the even more repressive Patriot Act.
So what has changed? Very little, except that the volume has been turned
up. And it will continue to be turned up. Because the bitch of it is, you
see, that within a few years, the way things are today won't seem all that
bad. But for the 'powers that be,' that hardly represents a crisis. To the
contrary, it represents progress.
Now that was fun, wasn't it? Direct, lucid, honest, and
untroubled by sacred cows or worse, sacred progressive icons. You see,
progressives can be as much sheeple as the rest of the flock, ready to be
razzled and dazzled by seemingly well-prepared and, well..... progressive
folks who have established their credentials with limited hangouts that pass
for anti-establishment investigation and reporting.
I don't often get into such groups and my experience with
a crowd of progressive sycophants attending a lecture by David Barsamian is
all that I can call upon at the moment. I recall the middle aged women
swooning at every word as though it were the most precious substance on the
planet. No one commented on his lack of comment about the anomalies in the
evidence regarding 9-11. He is a close associate of Noam Chomsky, another
swoonable icon of the progressive left. Both Barsamian and Chomsky keep the
focus on the horrific results that accrue to a nation that causes so much
suffering around the world . While that is a truism, it is NOT an
explanation for the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
To my chagrin, I chose to remain silent in fear of the
deadly damage possible at the hands of these worshipful groupies.
Mostly we think of propaganda as the ham-handed work of
dull fascists or bright, amoral neoconservatives and boot-licking
journalists protecting their paychecks and prerogatives among the lower
level agents of the Illuminati and the New World Order. Their focus was
defined by George W. Bush, joking at a Gridiron Club dinner, Washington,
D.C., March 2001: "You can fool some of the people all of the time and those
are the ones you want to concentrate on."
The rest are probably leftists and progressives who
consider themselves too smart to fall for the crap that comes out of
Townhall, Newsmax, WorldNetDaily, National Review or The Weekly
Standard not to mention the mainstream corporate news.
These come with so many holes in their facts and information that any fairly
well informed progressive intellectual can easily see through it. When it
has more holes than Swiss cheese and its twice as moldy as Limburger, I
don't need it. If it was in my fridge I would get rid of it before it stunk
up the house. If it's full of holes and can't be held up to the light, I
call it a lie. When it stinks, I hold my nose and scold the liar who brought
it in.
Progressive liars are more elegant, more subtle, cerebral.
By constantly referring to our responsibility to change the way we interact
with the world, the Gate Keepers of the Left attempt to control the debate
and focus the action to maintain the fracas. Huey Newton, Abbie Hoffman and
Jerry Rubin were among those icons of the 70's who would lead their
followers into protest after protest to set up the reaction that Spiro Agnew
could sneer about or the police could crack down upon with a vengeance. Hard
hats against college kids, National Guard rifles against innocent students.
This set the visual memory of a generation and factionalized America.
Divided we are conquered. Set into opposing camps and stirred with
incendiary rhetoric we vent our anger against our countrymen while the Hand
of the Illuminati steals our life, livelihood, and freedom one paycheck at a
time and quietly runs a monetary scam that would be the envy of any
counterfeiter or conman.
Now is a good time to notice who among the progressives is
really a shill for the Illuminati agenda to establish a New World Order.
Three years ago we had the opportunity to sort out the hidden hand from
among the "progressives" and the "left." Those who blindly followed the
Official Conspiracy Theory with limpid qualifications stood out like a sore
thumb. Progressive icons like Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, Noam Chomsky,
Norman Solomon, Counterpunch, and many others could be seen as the
self-appointed Gatekeepers of the Left. You could recognize them instantly
from their insistence on Arab hijackers despite the lack of evidence and the
improbability that hijackers would do their training in the US, raise such a
ruckus as to be noticed, manage to get the United Stats Air Force to stand
down while four jumbo jets careened around the skies and headed toward
restricted airspace for over an hour. These "progressive journalists" had no
difficulty accepting the likelihood that a passionate, suicidal Muslim would
abandon his Koran in a trash can at such a crucial time in his life or that
when everything else was crushed and hammered to powder a passport of
Mohammed Atta would miraculously show up in the street near Ground Zero.
Alternative/progressive news sites on the Internet are
entering the political fray in seemingly blind support of John Kerry
regardless of his actual stance on many substantive issues and his record of
performance in Congress. He is not anti-war. He voted to allow Bush to
choose war and has expressed the possible need to renew the draft. He is not
a freedom fighter. He voted for the Patriot Act and has been involved in
reducing constitutional protection under the rubric of fighting terrorism.
He has not been a vocal critic of the Official Conspiracy Theory that was
supposed to explain 9-11. Kerry has not sincerely searched for the truth. He
covered up the drug dealing at the Mena Airport by not calling witnesses who
had evidence to show that Bush and Clinton were both involved. Stephen Zunes
has written:
Senator Kerry has also been a big supporter of the
neo-liberal model of globalization. He supported NAFTA, despite its lack of
adequate environmental safeguards or labor standards. He voted to ratify
U.S. membership in the World Trade Organization, despite its ability to
overrule national legislation that protects consumers and the environment,
in order to maximize corporate profits. He even pushed for most-favored
nation trading status for China, despite that government's savage repression
of independent unions and pro-democracy activists.

Kerry is a Zionist and he has told his Zionist audiences
so He has pledged to continue Bush administration policy of vetoing any
United Nations Security Council resolution seen as one-sided against Israel.
He has hidden his Jewish bloodlines and allegiances to Zionism very well.
And Zionism and America do NOT express the same ideals. Zionism is NOT
democratic. Zionism is racist and elitist. Zionism is NOT Judaism. Many
traditional Jews have been fighting the blasphemy and heresy of Zionism for
over a century. Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesman for Neturei Karta
International has said,
Zionism refuses to accept our status as people in exile.
This is metaphysical impudence. It is the task of world Jewry to remain
patriotic citizens of the lands of their dispersion and pursue peace with
all people. In the Holy Land, this means welcoming Palestinian sovereignty
over the land. Accordingly, the rejection of Zionism is the only path to
peace.
John Kerry is the white knight riding in to rescue us in
this electoral charade set up to manipulate us into a fervor of support for
the left hand of the Illuminati agenda. It happened before and we got
continued attacks on Iraqis, the death of several hundred thousand Iraqi
children, the bombing of Serbia and Kosovo, "depleted" uranium use in the
Balkans that will poison the land for 4 billion years, NAFTA, executive
orders that tightened the grip of the New World Order, and a carnival of
leering old men distracting the national attention over Bill and Monica.
