Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute

George Bush indeed is responsible for the latest events in Lebanon, and I'm not talking about its “liberation.” We are witness to another Middle Eastern country Bush-whacked. As in Iraq's increase in terrorist activity, so go the real current events in Lebanon. By claiming credit for what some brave Lebanese citizens did, he has created a terrorist backlash! This time, half a million strong! When is the nincompoop going to learn that his presence is a red flag and terrorists respond in the same manner as the bull? How in God's name can anyone think he's made the world safer is beyond me, we are now engaged in more chaos and confusion, more potential war and death, than has been seen since WWII. Only this time the Bush administration is the aggressor!

Seems the Repuglicans like to spend your money to bamboozle you into believing their agenda is the real deal. First the Bush administration and now Arnie, using taxpayer money to produce fake newscasts and propaganda to fool you into believing it's the truth. The only problem here is, it's against the law, but why worry about a little thing like the law, the Repuglicans will just pass a new law to make it all legal! You know, they will make the illegal legal to continue their nefarious practices and it won't cost them a single nickel in the process! Welcome FASCISM to America, Repuglican style.

Sounds like Rummie's group, the Strategic Support Branch, have been busy. Was their latest mission protecting Negroponte, or maybe killing an Italian intelligence officer and his newly released hostage Sgrena? When Negroponte's name is associated with terror, one has to wonder just exactly who are the terrorists?

With all the hoopla surrounding Karen Hughes' return to the political scene, one just has to wonder if the administration is opening a new arm of the Office of Disinformation with the Queen of farce at the helm? Karen Hughes has been at the forefront in producing a Bush “image,” and hinted at being involved in many of it's sub-productions---checking out Bush's National Guard Records, ghost writing his book, among others, so what's in the can for her next production? Are Karen and Condi teaming up to bring us the coming wars with Syria and Iran? Just wondering???

* * *

Is Bush planning a “back door” invasion of Iran? Is the latest plan to have Israel strike first and thus bring America into it all by supporting our allies? Has Israel considered the possibility of being blamed if it all goes the same as Iraq? My advice to Israel is, “It's not a good idea to take the word of a bull-shitter, it's not a good idea to be in league with a man who's never taken responsibility for his mistakes, it's not a good idea to make a pact with the devil."

I will never understand a public who resents helping the poor, but welcomes giving their money to the rich! Somehow, “reforming” Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, and any other program that may benefit the public is a necessity, but, in the process of reform, giving trillions of dollars to corporations, politicians, and the very wealthy is O.K. Is the idea to help those already driving big cars and living in luxury, more money to buy even bigger cars and palaces instead of houses? I would think helping those who have to work 2 or 3 jobs to feed their families is a far nobler cause than giving your tax dollars to those who sit around the swimming pool in the latest “in place” vacation resort. "Whatsoever ye do to the least of these, you do to Me,” a line in the Bible which apparently doesn't have a whole lot of meaning for some of today's Christians!  

* * *

Today's mainstream media doesn't know the meaning of liberal, much less practice it! Liberal media is a myth perpetrated by those who would bring you the Office of Disinformation, by those who would use your money to produce a “Wag the Dog” version of the news. Unfortunately for America, mainstream media believes the lies.

It's a sad day indeed, when “cheerleader” is the leading qualification for the presidency of the United States of America! Cheerleading in front of a crowd whose only desire is for their side to win is even more egregious in a country that claims to be a democracy. Rah, rah, rah, and all that jazz is all the puppet can sing. I guess it's good for those pulling the strings.
