How and why people who are supposed to know, don’t know, that George Bush is doing everything that he can to gain federal control, militarily, over these United States, is beyond me.  Sending the National Guard troops and equipment overseas met two of his strategic needs---to reinforce the numbers of an insufficient army to fight in a foreign war, and to reduce the necessary force needed here at home when there are natural disasters and legitimate need for their service, the latter being the prime target!  Thus creating a vacuum set the scene that presents a plausible motive to send in the feds and begin the push to give the federal government military control. Now, in an attempt to push forward, his plan is to cut funding for any future plans to expand the Guard.  Wake up America, the “war on terrah” is a diversionary tactic to take attention off the real goal Bush is working on, the diamond in his crown of world dominance----a permanent coup right here at home, the end of freedom and democracy as we know it, and the beginning of a dictatorship!

Hmm, could it possibly be there are chinks in the radical armor?  Have the conservatives finally had a head-on collision within their ranks?  Are the Neo-cons finally finding out that when it boils down to the money that greases the Bush pockets or an ideology, money wins out every time!!!  Investigating minds would like to know!  Oh, and just a hint to Bush, without the support of mainstream corporate media, you, you moron, are doomed to obscurity, and your mendacity will be the subject for a free-for-all in America to ponder!  Obviously you’ve been given that proverbial “shot across the bow”!

What a difference the Office of Disinformation can make!  In May 2004, we read an article that gives the impression the military brass only approved benign psychological interrogation techniques similar to those seen on made for television police dramas!  “The approved techniques generally involve interrogators trying to psychologically manipulate prisoners. They include approaches familiar to television police dramas:Telling prisoners they would get better treatment, such as better food or roomier cells, if they would cooperate. Suggesting that interrogators already know everything, so the detainee might as well talk. Repeatedly asking the same questions. Staying silent. Playing on the prisoner's pride and ego.”  I’ll bet Joe Friday’s techniques can’t even begin to compare to those of Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush, and the “military brass”!  Wake up, America, these atrocities are still being committed in our names, with “approval” of course!

To put the fact that torture and abuse is horrific aside for a moment, and examine the “methods” used by some in this man’s army, one has to wonder just where did the sick minds that came up with this kind of interrogation technique come from?  Who on God’s earth could actually think of such a thing?  What quirks in their twisted mental abilities conjured up combining the Israeli flag, strobe lights, and homosexual pornography to get information out of “detainees”?  How long does it take to recognize the insanity of those who would use torture and abuse to gain questionable intelligence?

Sunday mornings used to be a time for informative analysis over coffee about the machinations of politics in America.  Since George W. Bush pinched the Oval Office, it has become nothing more than an off-key choir singing the praises of a moronic master!  As a matter of keeping my sanity while maintaining some awareness of how the other side thinks, I have taken to reading transcripts rather than listening to the inane commentary by those who find listening to themselves an enjoyable contest.

When a moron is given the Oval Office, by hook and crook, the result will be worldwide chaos as evidenced by what we on planet earth are experiencing today!  Wiser men than George W. Bush, like Poppy for one, knew an invasion of Baghdad would open Pandora’s box and in reality destabilize the Middle East as has not been seen since the Middle Ages!  But George, wanting to prove himself a better man than Poppy, went forward with a helter-skelter preconceived insane plan for worldwide dominance that has made the entire planet a more dangerous place for us all!  Due to his ignorance and arrogance, he has aided and abetted terrorism by giving terrorists a tangible target to hate.  It’s to our grief that that hatred has been transferred from Bush to every soldier wearing the uniform of the United States of America.  Our sons and daughters are the targets of bombs and bullets, while George tucked safely away behind a personal army of Secret Service men and women here in America can ride his bicycle and host White House soirees without a care in the world. May God help us all!

Why not consider the fact that “human embryonic cells” can be given the gift of life by and through extending the life of a living breathing human being who would otherwise be doomed to die from a disease process?  By implanting these cells in a willing host and curing a disease process, that in itself is an opportunity for these cells to live, it is in effect, life begetting life!  If “life” is indeed the main consideration, then certainly “life” is a better choice than death in a garbage can!

Have the conservatives and the neo-cons finally come to their senses?  Have they finally realized that a spoiled brat out-of-control moron at the helm is not the answer to the problems of the world?  Have they finally realized that Bush and “his brain” are the very real, and ultimately the major detriments to modern civilization?  Instead of less government the conservatives are seeing the probability of an all powerful executive branch in control and building their force even bigger, stronger, and more expensive than ever before in the history of these United States, instead of democracy in the Middle East and an opportunity for Israel’s survival, the neo-cons are seeing a destabilization as has never been more dangerous for Israel.  When forces join behind a zealot with a “crusade,” feeding on each other, and with clandestine reasons, it does not bode well for either entity.

“Sectarian tensions,” the White House’s code name for CIVIL WAR IN IRAQ!  Who exactly do they think they’re kidding with all this psy-ops mumbo-jumbo?  Certainly not the Iraqi people. They are having to suffer, to live and die in the mess George Bush created---the American people, HA, those who didn’t know it before, certainly know it now, Bush does not know what he’s doing, the world is not the push-over that Poppy and Barb were while he was growing older, he can’t fool all the people all the time and it’s come down to he can’t even fool some of the people some of the time anymore!  Impeachment of the whole bunch is long overdue, if we as a nation and earth as a planet are to survive his insanity!
