I can only imagine how the author feels. He prosecuted Charles Manson who orchestrated the deaths of 5 people. In Manson's delusional mind, he believed those 5 individuals had to die. He rightfully was imprisoned for life. Bush orchestrated the deaths of 4,000 American soldiers and over 100,000 Iraquis. He knew, based on CIA intelligence, that they did NOT have to die, but he lied to make it happen all the same. Then millions of Americans voted for him for a second presidential term.

Ha!

George Bush is like a cleaned up version of Charles Manson.

This is progress, but we need to dig deeper. The Bush Administration is also obviously responsible for 9/11, along with certain radical Israelis in the cabal who are dual citizens. Too many people are still too horrified to see this, though it is plain as day, once you take off the nationalistic blinders, and can admit that you've been fooled.

This administration, and particularly the Bush family, is direct descendent of the Nazi regime. Once we wrap our mind around that, it is easier to see how truly grave this political crisis is.

Pat Tillman realized it and was shot in the head at close range by his "superiors," while Rumsfeld covered it up. Those airmen who last summer averted the theft of nuclear weapons, also paid with their lives. The battle has barely begun. It is not a war against Islam. The world needs to unify to remove the Fascists in our White House, and send them to prison for life, not allow them to escape to George Bush's ranch in Paraguay, like the Nazis did before him. Then maybe we can get civilization back on track toward peace and democracy. Not before. See Patriotsquestion911.com

The movement is growing.

So, Mr. Bugliosi has laid out the case. When does the action come?

"Bush and his administration knowingly lied to Congress and to the American public — lies that have cost the lives of more than 4,000 young American soldiers and close to $1 trillion."

Ethnocentricity lives.

Actually, I think Bush should also be prosecuted for the murder of the language.

Dear Kelmer (May 9th, 2008 12:57 p.m.)

--gwb as a cleaned-up version of Manson--

Perhaps a read of Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray will help explain the "cleaned-up" appearance of gwb.

There is one very BIG GLARING OMISSION from your introductory remarks concerning the fall out of the lies of this administration:
- There are over 1 million Iraqis dead- children, grandmothers, people just like you and me just living out their days and now gone b/c of this administration's lies
- over 2 million Iraqis who have been displaced and are in exile.
When speaking of the American dead do not forget of the Iraqis who have suffered immeasureably b/c of the cowardly actions of this immoral administration.
Remember that the next time you write of the chronology of offenses by this administration, sir.

It is so damned obvious that America was hijacked once by the 9/11 criminals and then a second time by the Bush criminals. Yet we can't talk about the crimes of the latter group even though its crimes were ultimately so many times worse if you take into account the death toll. I have followed this from day one and at each obvious crime and lie I would scream that America was being lied to, scammed. But in this invisible world of true Republican crime there is no way to make the people realize what has happened. The fox still runs the henhouse. The suits are still shiny and there's always a new colored tie to correspond with the newest lie. I guess I'm crazy. This is definitely what my president wants me to believe. Believe anything and everything but my own eyes and mind. Well, it's getting hard to do. How long are you supposed to pretend black is white and that our president is not a criminal?

The correct charge for the prosecution of George W. Bush, et al, would in fact be mass murder, not just murder. While the scope of events surrounding the Iraq War does indeed boggle the moral sensibilities and mind, but acknowledging the "crackpot realism" of the neo-cons behind the Project for a New American Century and their surrogate president is just the tip of the iceberg. The plan envisualized the future through the prism of the struggle for resources throughout the world and the need for America to project military presence anywhere, and indeed everywhere at once in the world if need be, to maintain control over those resources. The essential resource needed for America to meet this vision was oil and so a large and permanent presence in the Persian Gulf was the central point of the entire undertaking.
To enlist the support of the American public in this task, the neo-cons opted for the cover rhetoric of spreading democracy in the Middle East. Rather than looking to the solution of a unified, secular, democratic Palestine, however (which would be the obvious choice for a beacon by example, if one were really contemplated), PNAC considered the potential for overthrowing the governments of Iran, Syria, and Iraq, finally selecting the last as being the most achievable. They were well aware that the American public would not support this effort, however, absent the catalyst of "a new Pearl Harbor."
When PNAC drafted its proposal, the American military presence in the Persian Gulf was established in Saudi Arabia, and it was that presence which motivated the 9/11 hijackers, most of whom were from Saudi Arabia. The American troops were perceived by the Arab people as an adjunct to the secret police of the Saud family (a role played, paradoxically, by the fundamentalist Wahhabi sect), and seen by other Muslim fundamentalists as an intolerable defilement of the holy land. Our troops in Saudi Arabia were withdrawn at the commencement of the current war in Iraq, but the contemplated permanent station of American troops within the embassy compound in Baghdad is likely to have the same effect. (This scheme is supported by all the aspiring presidential candidates, except for Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul, virtually guaranteeing more blowback terror in the future.)
Coming into office with the announced intention of waging war on Iraq, but needing "a new Pearl Harbor" to achieve that, the Bush administration was in the position of a person who has published a manifesto proclaiming that he has discovered a means of benefitting from a car accident. If such a person subsequently has a car accident, nobody would infer that it was really an accident since all that is needed to have it is to close one's eyes. Despite warnings from the departing Clinton administration that terrorism was the greatest threat facing the nation, the Bush administration dismissed the idea insisting that "drugs" was the greatest problem. Questions about terrorism from the press were routinely referred to Vice President Cheney, who did not hold his first meeting on the subject until September 4, 2001. Apparently the only outcome of that meeting was to appoint Michael Brown to the assistant directorship of FEMA; he took office two days later, displacing an experienced PhD from the previous administration.
Elevating the nature of the attack from criminal terrorism to full-fledged act of war, the WTC buildings were indeed collapsed by controlled demolition, as inferred by both Dan Rather and Ted Koppel, but it was not necessarily accomplished as a bit of stagecraft requiring specific foreknowledge of the attack. It was conducted under the auspices of a secret FEMA program called Godzilla that affects other buildings in the US and throughout the world.
The Godzilla story begins in January 1995 with the Kobe earthquake tragedy. The damage inflicted upon the city was unprecedented in its severity. Many buildings slumped precipitously, threatening surrounding property. Some buildings had been uprooted from their foundations and thrown down intact into intersections. Insurance companies took a bath and the extent of damages triggered payouts from international reinsurance carriers. The risk became a matter of serious concern to globalized insurance corporations.
Actuaries calculated scenarios in which a similar quake could hit a major city, toppling its tallest structures onto surrounding property – property more valuable than the skyscraper itself. Buildings could also sag, looming over more valuable properties, and collapse before any action could be taken to protect surrounding property from collateral damage. Terrorism of course could also create these conditions as had been attempted on the World Trade Center in 1993.
The large insurance companies presented these concerns to FEMA, who spent about a year studying the matter and searching for solutions. The result was a secret program called Godzilla. This program is in part a secret building code by the terms of which structures deemed of concern must submit a plan for demolition that FEMA keeps on file. Planned buildings over a certain height must submit a demolition plan along with a construction plan and the construction plan must include facilities and features within the structure and machinery for the potential installation of demolition explosives.
Within the demolition option widely known to the emergency worker sector under FEMA, there is a more secret designation for demolition on demand based on a rating system comparing risk and surrounding property values. Of course, the World Trade Center towers topped the list for the demolition on demand rating and its "charged" status was installed. Intelligence work in terrorist cells have identified other targets that are likely to have received this designation: Coit Tower in San Francisco and Sears Tower in Chicago, for instance, however, most major cities have landmark structures that are likely to have received this rating. Buildings with this designation have demolition explosives already situated inside them.
Other buildings are still of concern, of course, and to deal with these under emergency conditions, the various FEMA headquarters nationwide maintain stockpiles of demolition explosive that can be deployed within hours. Installing the Godzilla emergency system and protocol was fairly expensive, but the bulk of its cost was in 1997 when it went on-line. Much of the expense, the drafting of demolition plans, was borne by building owners. Continuing costs arise for FEMA in the quality testing of stockpiled demolition explosives and the off-line check and recycling of installed demolition devices in the high risk structures.
Successful implementation and demonstration within the US created pressure for other nations to follow suit, especially as urged by the global reinsurance industry. The penalty for non-compliance would come in the form of dramatically increased insurance rates because although Kobe and 9/11 events are rare, they are very costly when they occur.
Of course when the Clinton administration installed Godzilla, it was universally conceived as a tool to be used to promote public safety. No one imagined that it would be used for the blatantly partisan ploy of creating "a new Pearl Harbor," as it was by the Bush administration. Demolition of the towers could have taken place that afternoon or the next day and none would have questioned the wisdom of the action since the extent of damages exceeded the values of the structures. Both towers were razed, however, just as the smoke issuing from them changed from black to white, indicating that the fires were burning themselves out and the window of opportunity to cast the blame for their collapse onto the impacts was closing. That this decision negatively impacted public safety was no concern of the decision makers.
FEMA headquarters for the World Trade Center complex was in the Salomon Brothers building, WTC 7, which was demolished later that day after the materials had been brought to the site and distributed inside. This prevented discovery of documents and receipts relating to Godzilla and the installation of demolition devices inside the WTC towers. Three secret service agents died in the collapse of WTC 7 protecting the security of communications equipment and files of the CIA, the FBI and FEMA.
The Godzilla protocol cannot be implemented by just any fire chief, however, FEMA executive authority is required and their authority must be issued under a variety of emergency scenarios by the President and the White House. On September 11, President Bush, once he finally decided to respond to the crisis, issued a blanket approval to Vice President Cheney in the situation room at the undisclosed location. The decision to implement Godzilla at the time when it was done was a joint decision involving Vice President Cheney, acting with the authority of President Bush, then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, then National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice, then acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers, then director of FEMA Joseph Allbaugh, then assistant director of FEMA Michael Brown, the director of FEMA Region II (name unknown), New York Governor George Pataki, then mayor of New York City Rudy Guiliani, the director of the New York Port Authority (name unknown) owner of record, and the then current lease holder, Larry Silverstein.
Because FEMA already knew the cause of the collapse of the buildings, it only called for a volunteer forensics team – and then brushed aside the objections of its engineers to issue a cursory, speculative report on the cause: a complete abdication of its responsiblities towards architectural engineering and the public. It did, however, have secret investigators posing as medical teams combing the building débris for unexploded devices to report on the success of this emergency management measure.

Like father, like son....George H.W. Bush, while a vice-presidential candidate with Reagan, committed treason against the US by paying off Iranian militants with CREEP (Nixon's Campaign to Reelect the President) money to keep our diplomats hostage while Jimmy Carter held office.

George W. Bush has committed treason against our country for the reasons articulated by Bugliosi, as well as other forms of treason.

There is no justice in our country until both Bush's are brought to justice. Until then, we only have a police state where ordinary people are subjected to the criminal justice system.

Let us not forget TREASON!!!

However, criminal prosecution should not be limited to George W. (George the Lesser), but should also include most of the entire Bush administration, past and present.

They're digging up the old Barker Ranch in Death Valley as we speak looking for old Manson victims and that's roughly forty years on. Imagine how long it would take to dig up all of Bush's victims. What an ignorant little man, responsible for the deaths – unnecessary deaths – of so many innocents. Bush is a candidate for war crimes but I may as well wish the air to be purple or water turn into wine. There is no justice – Just ice.

Also, being that George W. is the Commander In Chief of the U.S. Military, as he and hims minions have constantly reminded us, his actions would necessitate a Court Martial.

I'll believe it when I see it, as there has been no real indication that they will ever experience JUSTICE, at least in this life. I would love to be sitting at the Pearly Gates when George W. appears to meet his maker.

Please...tell me something I don't know! What's the purpose of this article, other than a book promotion?

Old news - how do we get action? Trying to prosecute an ex-President is like moving the Empire State building to Alaska.

Vincent Bugliosi wrote: "Even after Bush admitted on September 17, 2003, that he had "no evidence" that Saddam Hussein was involved with 9/11, he audaciously continued, in the months and years that followed, to clearly suggest, without stating it outright, that Hussein was involved in 9/11."

Bugliosi doesn't go far enough: there is plenty of hard physical evidence that completely undermines the official 9/11 narrative involving 19 "Islamic extremist hijackers" and implicating insiders within our own government and military in these pivotal attacks. The 9/11 false flag operation has been used to justify very aggressive U.S. foreign and domestic policy, and has been used in past judicial action as justification for invoking "state secrets" privileges and shrowding evidence under the cover of "preserving national security." By dispelling the official myth of 9/11 (again, using the abundant hard, physical evidence, in addition to witness testimony and very obvious government obstruction of various investigations/perjury/fraud), the justification for state secrecy is undermined. More importantly, the public would not tolerate the attacks on our civil liberties or the lies justifying wars of aggression.

There is no "rule of law" in the USA. The law exists merely to control the masses, not the powerful. Bush and his allies are guilty of war crimes on a mass scale and Congress, for refusing to impeach and jail these murders, these traitors, are complicit in these crimes. Shame on Congress. Shame on America. One million Iraqis dead. Jesus Christ, what has this country become?

The darkest and coldest hour is just before first light.

A new dawn is just beyond the horizon people.

There is ALWAYS justice in the end, man's - or God's (karma)

Keep your powder dry and let not hate ruin you.

One more thing--to any American people posting here. Read this and act, or else WE are complicit, too.

"There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" — Mario Savio

Bush-Cheney can never escape what they have done. Every day a new piece of evidence is forthcoming supporting my suspicions about the truth behind 9/11. They must be held accountable in a court of law else we will lose our allies one by one, not to mention our democracy. It is all very tragic, but no less than the (over) one million who have been slaughtered, plus those who died on 9/11, thousands maimed for life, and thousands who have committed suicide.

The first thing in causing change . . . to remove the rot and hold it accountable, is for the public to cease living a fantasy and come to terms with the truth.

Meanwhile don't watch media pundants like Matthews, Blitzer, and the rest (all legends in their own minds) . . . who are a threat to democracy and peace.

I believe we have a moral obligation to hold a large scale (tens of thousands) mock impeachment trial of Bush & Co. for high crimes & treason. We can do this; to the naysayers: if big mainstream media ignores the action, then we must be willing to strategize and get smaller media outlets interested. Programs such as Bill Moyers, Newshour, Colbert, and Stewart are places to start. Let's get this off the ground! There are so many groups that would be interested in this. We can't wait for elected politicians and our corrupt fourth estate, to do their jobs. We have to do it for them. Is anybody else interested in this idea? e-mail me: bentaurus@hotmail.com

The obvious question for me is, why doesn't the House (and Senate) conduct its own investigation under the auspices of one of the many Committees that could justifiably claim jurisdiction in this matter (and so many, many others).

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

"It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better."

"Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy."

"War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it."

"The truth is that men are tired of liberty."

"It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity."

"We become strong, I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look to for moral guidance."

"Fascism is a religious concept." - "Fascism is a religion. The twentieth century will be known in history as the century of Fascism."

"All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

"The function of a citizen and a soldier are inseparable."

"War is to man what maternity is to a woman. From a philosophical and doctrinal viewpoint, I do not believe in perpetual peace."

"Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace."

"The keystone of the Fascist doctrine is its conception of the State, of its essence, its functions, and its aims. For Fascism the State is absolute, individuals and groups relative."

Benito Mussolini

Any of this sound familiar?

The light will eventually destroy the vampires.

A Japanese doctor said, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor said, "That's nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."

A Texas doctor, not to be outdone said, "You guys are way behind. We took a man with no brains out of Texas , put him in the White House and now half the country is looking for work."

Let's go from bla-bla to ACTION! WHO IS AN EXCELLENT, COURAGEOUS ORGANIZER???

Adding insult to injury: Bush says starving India eats too much.

"May 7, 2008 -- Karl Marx, born on 5 May, 1818, nearly two centuries ago, had in 1867 laid bare the 'intimate connection between the pangs of hunger of the most industrious layers of the working class, and the extravagant consumption, coarse or refined, of the rich, for which capitalist accumulation is the basis' (Capital Vol. 1, Ch. 25). In May 2008, nearly a century and a half later, as we hear Emperor Bush hold forth on global hunger, we are reminded that capitalism and global wealth remains just as intimately wedded to hunger.

The global policeman Bush, in the time-honoured traditions of the backyard bully, has long harboured the habit of dictating to nations who their friends and enemies should be. Now, he has taken to telling nations how much they should eat, and of wagging a disapproving finger at poor nations whose middle class has made some improvements in its diet.

Bush's sentiments (and those of his lieutenant Condoleezza Rice) reek of callous contempt for the world's poor. They lay bare the fact that the only perspective Bush and US imperialism is capable of is that of the US corporations. In Bush's words, the growing purchasing power of the middle class in the developing world is ``good'' because ``y'know, it's hard to sell products into countries that aren't prosperous'' (see http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3006775.cms), he said on May 3.

But, lamented Bush, ``you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food''. In other words, India's growing appetite was pushing food prices up and causing the rest of the world to go hungry. Unfortunately, the world's people haven't mastered the art of being markets, not mouths: of tightening the belt over their bellies while loosening their purse strings ...

Bush is the head of the nation whose successive governments used its military to ruthlessly batter a long list of Latin American and African countries into being pliant suppliers of cash crops for the US corporations; and in the process devastating the food security of these nations. Major General Smedley Butler has described how, as a US marine, he had been ``a high class muscle-man for Big Business...a gangster for capitalism'' who had helped to make Honduras, Mexico, Haiti, various Central American republics, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic ``safe'' for plunder by US fruit, oil, and sugar corporations and banks in the early twentieth century. Washington's latest exploit has been to ``make Iraq safe'' for US oil corporations, in the process devastating its economy, its infrastructure, and its thriving health and education structures.

Now, Bush has the gall to offer in charity what his nation has plundered by military muscle and economic arm-twisting. Like a rapacious wolf dressed up as a kindly and nurturing mother, he describes the US as an ``unbelievably compassionate and generous nation'' and offers to help the poor countries out by ``buying food directly from farmers as opposed to giving people food''. So, the deepest desire of the US corporations –- to have the farmers of developing countries as captive and direct producers for them alone -– is projected by Bush as generosity!

The US today along with a small and exclusive club of ``developed'' countries guzzles a disproportionate share of the world's scarce resources including fuel, paper and food. It is also responsible for a disproportionately high share of global pollution. Although constituting only 5 per cent of the global population, the US emits more carbon dioxide, consumes more paper and other forest products, and produces more municipal waste than any other country. Yet Bush refused to curb carbon emissions in the US, saying ``the American way of life is not negotiable'', and peddling the absurd theory that cows were more responsible for such emissions than cars, and so countries like China and India ought therefore to bear a greater burden of curbing emissions!

* * * *

Annual per capita food-grains consumption in the US is over five times that of India, and three times that of China, according to figures released by the US Department of Agriculture for 2007. On average, a US citizen consumes 1046 kg of grain, and around 20 times more meat and fish and 60 times more paper, gasoline and diesel than the average Indian. But in India, since the entry of globalisation, the average per capita consumption of food grain has actually gone down from 177 kg per person to 155 kg per person: which is the same as the hunger levels seen during famine in times of the British Raj. And in India, foodgrains absorption is rising fast for the (mainly urban) middle class, which boosts the national average. A large section of the rural poor are actually reduced to as low as 136 kg per capita per year –- which is the same as that of starvation-hit sub-Saharan Africa.

Bush grudges the 350 million-strong Indian middle class its improved diet: he is blithely silent about more than 350 million rural Indians who are below the average food energy intake of sub-Saharan African countries! Studies have shown a long-term tendency towards declining per capita calorie consumption, especially in rural India -– that is, Indians are growing hungrier year after year. Deaths by hunger are an all-too common phenomenon which Indian rulers are united in denying.

And these millions owe their hunger directly to the rural job losses, income decline, land grab, slashed government expenditure on rural development, slashed PDS and increased grain exports -– all of which are policies aggressively promoted by the US-backed IMF-World Bank, and faithfully forced on Indian people by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his predecessors.

Of course, the actual food consumption of the poor Americans is less than the national average. Hunger and homelessness are a growing phenomenon in the US, the world's richest country. According to the US Department of Agriculture, in 2006 more 35 million people lived in food-insecure households, including 13 million children. Adults living in over 12 million households could not eat balanced meals and in more than 7 million families someone had smaller portions or skipped meals. In close to 5 million families, children did not get enough to eat at some point during the year. This hunger at home is all the more horrific when one knows that more than sufficient food grains are grown in the US –- but is fed to cars as ``bio-fuel'' rather than to hungry people!

Bush's bratty and bullying arrogance is really nothing new: we expect nothing better. The real question is why Manmohan Singh, our prime minister, describes a man with such contempt for India and for the poor of the world, as ``India's best friend''? Why insist on continuing with US-dictated policies which favour imperialism and force millions of Indians to live in misery and hunger?" --- Kavita Krishnan

LETSAVEDEMOCRACY -- You and I see eye to eye on all that.

I do believe that 911 was planned in advance for years by the people who stole our government back in 2000. The plan was to revive Fascism -- and to do it 'right' (pardon the pun) this time. These are very very dangerous times. Thankfully, I don't believe it will be successful in the end -- though, unfortunately, I think their damage will go quite far before they are stopped. But, in the end, they will be defeated as Hitler was defeated. But how many lives and how much suffering will take place before that happens? TOO MUCH, I think.

bush and cheney are crazed mass murderers and torturers. They are as sick as they come. They should share a cell with Charles Manson as that is where they deserve to be.

Guilty as charged!

May Bush and his collaborators be hounded, harassed, sued, disgraced and imprisoned for the rest of their lives. May Bush's legacy be one of complete and utter failure and may he know it in his lifetime. May the only place he can appear publicly is on a second rate game show where he can be made out to be the fool he is.

If bush or cheney's lips are moving, they are lyin'.

This isn't new information. Our government leaders know this, and they will now and forever do NOTHING about it. Bush/Cheny are war criminals who will live out the remainder of their lives in comfort. It sets a very low standard for any future president. What exactly constitutes an impeachable offense now...shooting someone in the head on live TV?

Sorry, Madam Pelosi says "impeachment is off the table".

Join me in this election: "anybody but the 2-parties".

Let's add treason to that charge, too. And, add a whole host of players in the treason geme: Cheney, Addington, Rove, every employee of the Office of the Vice President.

ClassAct -

With so much disinformation campaigning afoot to discredit "9/11 conspiracy cultists", one never knows how much is real, and how much is Memorex.

Yet I must admit that your "Godzilla" scenario presents the first more or less politically coherent explanation I've encountered for how a controlled demolition of the WTC towers on 9/11 could have transpired, given my limited knowledge of structural architecture and the physics of skyscraper collapse.

If any of these FEMA-related programming claims have an ounce of truth to them, there will exist tons of (classified) paperwork to confirm or refute the theory. Either Congress by legislation, or a new President with nothing to hide by simple executive order, could get to the bottom and dispel all doubts about this scenario very easily, and very quickly.

Recruit enough people with power to join you in a massive crime, and you are immune from prosecution no matter what the law says. Unless, of course, a group more powerful brings you to justice very violently.

The Repubs know how to manipulate the Dems: get them to participate in the early phases of the crime, and they will willingly kill hundreds of thousands rather than admit that the crime is a crime.

So many leaders have committed atrocities like this but how many have ever stood trial for them?
bush isn't above the law, but has far too many snakes guarding the pit to get to him. The good news is that he must live in his own prison for the rest of his life. He can never go to the park, travel, or walk amoung people alone. He will forever be surrounded by a bunch of goons. All the simple things that you and I enjoy are denied to this man forever. He's a prisoner in a guilded cage. The funny part is that he constructed his own prison.

Class Act, May 9, 2008, 1:13 p.m. - "The correct charge for the prosecution of George W. Bush, et al, would in fact be mass murder, not just murder.

So back to the first Bush Administration [and, of course, way before that ... JFK's assassination ... when all the then younger players came on Board for Nixon and the major Corporate Money/Banking Establishment folks and began to get their nasty, nasty act together, viz., Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove et al.] Wolfowitz with some assistance from Colin Powell and neocon blood suckers, designs a pre-emptive, preventive war doctrine [put in a drawer in 1992 when the surprise ascendency of Bill Clinton to the throne scuttled the onward march of the NEW WORLD ORDER ... see David Rockefeller's astoundingly open and clear statement in his MEMOIRS for the NEW WORLD ORDER.]

All hell breaks loose against the Clintons and GOTCHA becomes the game. The Clintons, however, are smart politicos and are quite rich now and well-connected, and it certainly would seem learned to play with the same ball, despite earlier protests by Hillary--pre-Monica revelations--about "a vast Right-wing conspiracy,"
of which she seems now to play kneesies with.

Election 2000 was a plan to award one not-too-bright puppet fellow of the right family and connections [Skull & Bone brothers and others], the Presidency. A brief clip on one of the major TV networks in the early A.M. of pre-election days, 2000 [when the fully unindoctrinated media folk still made gaffs, i.e., attempts at honest reporting] showing GWB arriving in Florida greeted by brother Jeb and a few reporters, who throw him a question or two. "... Well, I am a little worried about the Florida vote." The camera catches Little Brother Jeb's arm go around GW's shoulder as they sidle away, and Jeb says: "There's nothing to worry about, Bro. Everything is taken care of." AND HOW!

When moments like that still snuck through before and a short period after 2000, my night-owl mind would go "click," and then I would stay up to see whether or not the same clip was rebroadcast. It wasn't. CLICK!

The point is the Nation of the United States of America has been taken over. And regardless of uncomfortable speculations as one assesses all the events and decisions made since 2000 causing millions and millions of deaths of ordinary people and creatures from all over the globe from many causes, whether attacks, starvation, lack of water, poisonous pollution, destruction of environment, and the events and decisions causing unprecedented suffering for what is becoming billions of people as economies collapse from "shock-doctrine" programs or the fall-out from the orchestrated chaos by the truly BIG BROTHERS intent on World Domination, ... regardless of all those speculations which are written about ad nauseum, the evidence seems to be in. Don't ya' think?

Thus, what it all comes down to is how the hell are we going to turn this Mad March to the Cosmic Sea of Dark Matter around as planetary life, as we know it, disappears into the Black Holes of Uncontrollable Greed, Murderous Intentions, Psychopathic Insanities, etcetera? And that is not just a rhetorical question?

The vast majority of us ... the little guys and gals riding this earth ... are not a consideration for those seeking the POWER and CONTROL and WEALTH that they seek. We ... and it doesn't matter where on the earth ... are the workers, the drones, the slaves, the necessary consumers when it is time to consume ... and that's not a new story to history.

However, this is the beginning of the 21st Century with looming, unprecedented problems: global warming-climate changes; environmental degradation and ecological destruction; expanding populations; weapons of mass destruction that are here now and in the works; communication and surveillance technologies that can pinpoint moles on our asses and burn them off; global monetary controls by the Super, Super rich; genetically manipulated and doctored food ... and more in the works; fresh water supplies drying up or polluted; programmed ignorance and conditioned thinking/acting; lethal, cold-and-calculating intelligence networks in service to The Elite; expanding private, mercenary armies; corrupted legal systems all the way to the TOP ... and still, the primitive mentalities that insist MY GOD IS NOT ONLY BETTER THAN YOURS, BUT THE ONLY GOD AND WAY TO BELIEVE!!! ... and CAN'T WAIT FOR ARMAGEDDON ... Doo Da La Doo ... AND IT'S COMING ROUND THE BEND!

We got trouble in River City, folks ... The fun is, however, to think, be and do out of the box ... without adding to the hurt. Our latest Human Adventure.

We never do know who or what is COMIN' ROUND THE BEND, but we humans are a creative bunch and the best of us already are innovating and working toward a very different, positive future ... Lots of good ideas that need support and action come up right on this Board all the time. ...

Rough times ahead? You bet. But little by little, I'll also bet, we CAN turn it around ... and WILL ... Why I think that is a whole 'nother subject, something about always seeing a glass half full, but for now ...

peace ...

So now George W. Bush has bought a large track of land in Paraguay. Can you say, "Nazi hideout children"? It's either that or the fabrication of a "national emergency" which sets the stage for martial law. Or he has a terrible accident at the Crawford, TX ranch on his mountain bike and breaks his psycho neck and of course Cheney has his bad heart(in more ways than one!). I don't believe people like these 2 have to go to jail. That's for crack heads,no? Damn! Do I sound bitter and cynical????

If someone like Al Capone, Carmine Gambino, Sam Giancanna, or John Gotti put out a "contract" which is then executed by one of their underlings are they not just as guilty of the murder? The problems with Bush being so charged are:

1. His actions were approved by both houses of Congress and both parties who voted to authorize and fund the ventures.

2. His actions were then ratified by the American electorate who reelected him in 2004.

3. The only things that should be galling most Americans about the crimes of Bush are his sloppy execution of them and their own culpability as accessories to them.

It would be a dream come true to see the entire Bush Crime Family pay for their crimes. I've read alot of intense evidence indicating George HW Bush's involvement in the Kennedy assasignations, and MLK, Any brain dead moron knows GWB is responsible for 9/11, this is without a doubt the single most deadly Crime Family in history. Guilty of millions of murders and countless crimes. My contempt for the Bush Crime Family is immeasurable......

Why do you reject a mock impeachment of Bush? We aren't going to get a "real" one. The reason for political theatre is to make a point and to educate in ways that can actually reach people. Your long posts here are great but they go nowhere. They are a waste of time and energy. We need action, not more of the same talk year after year. I'm trying to get this idea off the ground. If anybody knows of groups who would be willing to work with me on it, please let me know. You can hate the idea, fine, but if anybody gets what I am trying to do, get in touch with me. Thanks.

how about a lawsuit against the war contractors for reckless endangerment of the American people?

"Alberto Fujimori, the former president of Peru, will face a total of four trials on charges of murder, kidnapping, corruption and human-rights abuses."

And that asshole didn't even illegally invade an oil-drenched nation!

Our only hope is that a patriotic agent from The Decider's Secret Service detail goes postal with a submachine gun in the Oval Office...

It is my understanding that an imminent threat is required for a pre-emptive war. Bush stated that Iraq was a "grave and gathering danger" which is not legal justification for a pre-emptive strike. The corporate media never discussed that even if there were WMD (this administration's Maine), there was no cause for pre-emption.

It is too late for impeachment and neither The Emperor or Darth Cheney would be convicted. The driving force of this administration's policies is money. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Rice should be sued for damages to repay the U.S. for the cost of the ill-conceived, illegal, immoral and ill-planned war against Iraq. They should also be held liable for damages to U.S. soldiers and their families and the Iraqis for the deaths and injuries caused by the war. They should be bankrupted.

Hey, "Termite"(Number one comment up top)

Watch how many of those same stupid bastards vote for John McCain in November so we can bring the military death toll still higher.

Regarding "Godzilla" and the San Francisco Coit Tower.....

Look at this Wiki entry on Coit Tower and tell me who would be hurt by a 210 feet (64 meters) of unpainted reinforced concrete, except for the people visiting Coit tower.

Maybe the author "ClassAct" means the TransAmerica building. But although I look fondly at Coit Tower everyday, if it fell, I am sure we could rebuild it with our own hands and a thousand bags of concrete.

Other than that, Bush is a war criminal. He slaughtered thousands, dropped depleted uranium on our troops and our Iraqi friends we were trying to free, thereby causing cancer and leukemia for generations to come.

We can specify a limit on the amount of harm any organization can make. This covers corporations, political parties, trade associations, and governments.

The limits undercut any argument for pre-emptive war, imperialism, and all the rest. Enforcing the limits requires that we take non-violent approaches to resolve conflicts, ultimately reducing violence to last-resort self-defense. This may all seem obvious, quaint, and impractical today, but the idea has to be put "on the table" to displace all the bullshit ideas that enable violence.

The capitalists laying siege to Washington are dispensing truckloads of bullshit into our minds to achieve our consent for their violence. Are we going to clear all of their bullshit out of our minds or will we keep it there to fester and stink?

Guilty of all charges. On with the sentence.

I don't disagree with Bugliosi's points, which, as many have pointed out, are not new. I'd love to see him shed some prime time light on what's he's written, but I'm at least a little distrustful of the guy given the fact that he spent a lot of time "debunking" the JFK and RFK assassination researchers. Hey Vince, how does your smug proclamation of "There was no conspiracy" sit with you now? Care to issue a retraction, knowing what you now know?

As for what Class Act has posted here, I've heard that too, that demolition charges were already in place by FEMA. It's an interesting thought, but it's a dangerous to make the leap of faith that therefore the collapse of the WTC buildings "was not necessarily accomplished as a bit of stagecraft requiring specific foreknowledge of the attack." You would absolutely need foreknowledge, and we know that the administration had that foreknowledge. It's also erroneous to say that WTC 7 "was demolished later that day after the materials had been brought to the site and distributed inside." Wrong. WTC was 47 stories tall. Placing the demolition charges would take weeks, not hours.

It's also a major red herring to say that the "19 hijackers" were motivated by the presence of our troops in Saudi Arabia. Those 19 freedom haters were at most patsies, if they were even on the flights. 19 guys from a cave somewhere can't issue orders for a stand down of our air defense (that would be Cheney). 19 guys in a cave can't schedule training exercise simulating the flying of planes into buildings on the exact same day as the real event takes place (that would be Cheney). These 19 guys has massive CIA connections, and didn't know how to fly planes (although they allegedly trained right under the nose of the president's brother).
One other pesky detail about trying to pin the attacks on those 19 guys: Several of them are still alive. Oops.

So, without getting too far off topic, I hope Bugliosi can generate some serious discussion of this, because he's making some excellent points. But he was a shill for the Man before when he ridiculed the JFK researchers. In order for me to trust him, I'm going to need solid proof that he's not still a shill for the Man.

We're all gonna pay in due time, silence is complicity, ignorance is no excuse.
