I have been sending out all sorts of interesting material from inside the Monkey Palace to just about everyone. As you are the only ones, so far, who have been publishing it and citing me (others are publishing but not citing) here are some really interesting stories for your readers to chew on. First off, the Moore flick is causing spastic colon inside the Monkey Palace. They have dragged out all kinds of poor souls with a desire to suck the Imperial bum to trash the film but it isn’t going to do any good. And some comments about the President: You speak about King George when referring to Bush. Queen George might be more to the point. Yes, our beloved leader has certain social problems that would not endear him to the Christian Right if they knew.

When he was at Yale, Georgie hung out with drag queens when he wasn’t getting shit faced at the frat house! And this didn’t stop once he left Yale and went to Texas to copycat his dear old dad, the military pilot. George likes to prance on the wild side when no one is looking but you can’t hide that sort of thing for too long. Oh yes, his top aides know all about his “close friendships”, especially with the black drag queen, but talk about it around here you dare not do. He keeps that part of his life away from here, believe me, but most of his top people know about it. One of his very top aides got into a bit of trouble years back at a Church Retreat where he gave some sweet and very young thing some booze and little pills to disinhibit her and was playing CPR with her when someone walked in. That cost our non-hero, a Bush stalwart, a lot of money. The Bush family know all about this but no one else does. If the born-again wierdos knew about this, they never would have voted en bloc for Curious George. They would probably stone him but then, let’s face it, George has been stoned before, many, many times! He’s given up coke, pot, booze and probably drag queens because God doesn’t approve of such things (neither would the voters in Iowa) and he is certain he will be reelected. Once, we were permitted to bring our families to the White House for a social function but my wife, who knows what I do, refused to come and would certainly not bring our young son. He might get Jesus n one ear and a hot tongue in the other. Sick, sick, sick.

One of my more important contacts inside the Monkey Palace here is a relatively innocent clerk-typist who is being courted by a White House security agent. In order to impress her, he has been talking. Unfortunately, someone got wind of his loose mouth and he has been reassigned elsewhere. Apparently, threats against the President's health and safety are reaching incredible proportions. He could not attend his daughter's graduations because of "heightened security concerns" and a correspondent from Italy notes that Bush had massive security while in that country.

The Vatican security people said that they had to strongly increase their measures following strident demands from the Secret Service, when Bush visited the Pope and that the latter viewed Bush as "not quite normal" and a "most unpleasant personage."

Bush apparently tried to bully the Pope who responded in public, admonishing him for his actions and insisting on US withdrawal from Iraq. As is well-known, the Pentecostal President detests Catholics, calling them, among other things, "Whores of Babylon."

The crooked Italian Prime Minister will now permit the stationing of US troops and aircraft in his country (the Turks are fighting shy of this) but asked for, and got, a bribe for doing so. Public sentiment in Italy is strongly opposed to the lunatic and dangerous Bush policies and growing. They do not want another Madrid bombing in their country and Italian papers view Bush as a "disturbed and disturbing" person.

Bush is going to remove troops from South Korea. Washington and Seoul denied this at the time but the NYT ran an article that the 2nd US Division would be transferred to Iraq. There were a number of official qualifiers but the message is clear: If the troops now involved in the occupation of Iraq are not rotated very soon, there is every reason to expect outbreaks of mutiny among their ranks.

We have input from local papers across the country that states that recruitment has dropped off 90%.

On the way to the Georgia conference, Bush said on his plane, and was overheard: ‘I know I am being tested. You know God has placed me in the White House to do his will and now it looks like a bunch of evil Satanists are ganging up on me. They will pay for this, believe me. When I get reelected, and God will guarantee this, these sons of bitches will pay for disputing me. I don’t care what these liberal faggots say about our mistreatment of terrorists. These are idol worshippers and they are trying to hurt us. Can’t the people see that I am protecting them?’ This is a quote taken from a clandestine pocket tape recorder. My source, a senior clerk, told me several times that Bush is becoming so erratic and explosive that his staff is trying to keep out of sight, even in the White House.

Some random comments: Old-time White House staffers have told me recently that Reagan was a very decent and genuinely friendly person. I personally deplore his politics but as a man, he was so far above this one as to be a farce. Rove has been angling for the widow Reagan to stump for George but is beginning to discover that the entire family, and most of the Reagan friends and co-workers are either disgusted by Bush or actually detest him. They see him as a complete phony who uses his hyped up religious views to get votes. [Redacted] told me she thought Bush was really not religious because his “language was so foul around women” that no real Christian would ever think or talk in that manner.

It is very difficult to convey an opinion in print but I will make an effort. George Bush, the President, is one of the meanest, vindictive men I have ever met. Initially, when everything was going his way, the atmosphere of the White House was one of triumph and euphoria but now that Bush’s past deeds are about to crush him, he has reverted to what he was before he stopped boozing: a mean and spiteful person, given to a foul mouth and expressing really vulgar contempt for anyone and everyone who dares to cross him. Example: When Gore gave a strong and effective anti-Bush speech a few months ago, I heard Bush say (at a distance but he doesn’t care who hears his outbursts) “Who the fuck cares what that shithead thinks? They should have stuck him in the funny farm instead of his crazy dumb ass wife.” That is a direct quote. Rove is not much better either. Both of them remind me of a couple of interior decorators swinging their purses at a rival. They both give me the creeps and I am not the only one around the Monkey Palace to think, and now talk, that way.

Considering his gay contacts at Yale (a notorious black drag queen was one of them) Bush is projecting badly here. I think Hannibal Lecter would make a better president than this one.

If the vicious and stupid neo cons who instigated all of this crap are so determined on having their wars, why not draft them and ship them all off to Baghdad? It would be a sheer delight to see a picture of a barbequed Wolfowitz, in bits and pieces, dangling from a bridge.

Here is an interesting conundrum for you and your people to chew on: The Pentagon is hastily moving US troops stationed in Europe and Asia either to Iraq or to nearby areas like Italy. They are moving two divisions from Germany, one from South Korea and others from different areas. Also, main headquarters is being shifted from England to Italy. Now couple this information with the extension of tours of duty of all American military units now on active service, Kerrey’s “backdoor draft” and we have an interesting situation. If Bush wants to withdraw from Iraq within a month, why all of these troop movements? I had dinner with a friend of my wife’s whose husband is a civilian with the DoD and from that source I learn that we are not going to get out of Iraq. Loud proclamations that we are going to leave will be made but at the very last moment, the new puppet régime there, bought and paid for by the US, will make an “impassioned appeal” to Bush to allow American troops to remain “for just a little while” until the fledgling new and democratic Iraqi government can get safely off the ground.

This request, as I understand it, was written in the White House, sent to the Pentagon and forwarded to Iraq. The scenario has been carefully scripted, down to the last “sad but resolute” GI interview from a soldier that really wants to go home but realizes now that our beloved President has the vision and compassion to assist the growth of democracy in an area where it has never been before. Sounds just like something Josef Stalin would order done. No, we are not going to get out of Iraq at all; we will be there for at least five more years according to three sources who ought to know. Recruitment has effectively stopped so the military won’t release those men whose tours are over. They will stay in either until Bush is defeated in November or, if he is reelected, he can institute the draft he and his people have carefully planned for all along.

When I said a few days ago that the witch hunt for leakers has died down, I was wrong. It has just gone underground but is still just as intense. Bush is in a crazy rage about all the resistance he has been facing. He believes very firmly that he is acting on the orders of God Almighty and that anyone, be it the head of the CIA or some rogue reporter, must be punished for daring to thwart the Will of God! Some of the saner staffers here are becoming distinctly edgy and some are thinking of quitting but God help any of them who quit and talk! They have signed agreements to never, never discuss anything that they have learned while in the White House. I said before that Bush was a mean, vicious man and it is starting to slop out of the Presidential bedpan into the halls of power. I said there is something really wrong with this man (I personally think that he is as crazy as a loon…an unscientific diagnosis but given what I have seen and heard of him, not inaccurate) and events will prove me right!

May 31, 2004

Bush has told the CIA chief to either resign or be forced to take the entire blame for the Iraq prison scandal. It is always pleasant to see how much trouble you can cause and still not get into trouble yourself. You have been posting my comments (but not all of them…why?) and one of the staff in the White House replied. You posted his objections, gave me the courtesy of rebutting him and it all went up. This fellow made the mistake of putting down his DoD address at the White House with disastrous results. His address was on the DISA system and after your posting, the system was immediately attacked from outside and there were serious problems. Their Niper and Sniper nets were put in danger and there is now hell to pay here. They still haven’t found me, not for want of trying, but they do hate your site. Someone here said you were a “Satanist Communist bastard” with “no respect for what our wonderful President is trying to do.” That’s a direct quote, by the way. I have it on my pocket recorder in case you are interested.

Bush had a Rose Garden Experience with the tame members of the press. Questions, known in advance, were asked of him and he responded with his coached answers. He didn’t look very good all in all. Someone asked him about rising gas prices and like some small child, he squalled “It’s all the fault of Congress! They wouldn’t pass my wonderful energy bill so blame them.” Pathetic. We have rising gas prices because the Bush people have invaded an Arab country, declared a religious Crusade against the evil Muslims and generally behaved like a bull in a china shop. Since Muslims control most of the world’s oil, we wonder why they took so long to retaliate. The poor Saudis are caught between the rock of Arab fundamentalism and the hard place of American business needs. When they announced that they were unilaterally going to increase production at Bush’s strong demand, the fundamentalists attacked foreign workers there, killing quite a few and scaring the shit out of the rest. The survivors are now fleeing in huge numbers, causing terrible damage to Saudi oil production. This was a shot across the Saud family bows and now we have to see which way they will jump. If they support Bush, they will also suffer more “incidents” and eventually be toppled. If they support the fundamentalists, the Bush people will threaten to invade them. Of course Bush can’t do this because he can’t even conquer Iraq so this is an idle threat and the Arabs know it. If gas prices continue to escalate, Bush is doomed in November.

In my opinion, he is doomed anyway. If this trend isn’t reversed, people here are afraid of criminal actions, impeachment proceedings (which are unlikely now) and other, less pleasant things. The Bush people hate anyone who does not agree with them and slavishly obey the President’s every wish, tolerate the British, love Israel and detest China (a growing business rival.) The security people are now having a full plate and people like me who leak have dropped a notch on the screen but we are still there. You will see a lot more very serious leaks before it is over and it won’t be over until November, we all hope. Nixon had the character (?) to resign when he saw he had lost the game but they will have to drag Bush screaming out of the Oval Office. The rest of them will all flee to Israel where they will be safe from prosecution. That’s Israel’s problem in the end. Arab suicide bombers on one side and the Neo Cons on the other.

May 27, 2004

Even though they are still very much annoyed, and even frightened by leaks coming from inside the White House, they are now are even more frightened of leaks from the Pentagon. The Army doesn’t like being blamed for the Iraqi prison mess in light of the “tough” interrogations (resulting in nearly fifty dead prisoners) that were inaugurated by Rumsfeld personally. The question about Bush knowing about this is foolish. Of course Bush knew about it. Bush is a Crusader who wants the Holy Land for Christians and tame Jews and he absolutely loathes Muslims. “Idolaters” and “heathens” is what he calls them often and loudly around the plant. Over the past few weeks, poor Bush has been taking heavy body blows. It has him taking uppers now because he was generally pretty depressed and with the endless media feeding frenzies swirling around him, he is pretty much of a wreck.

Still, the President will never admit he is wrong. How could he be when God appointed him to be President? You think this is some kind of a Democratic joke? Think again. He has said, once in my presence, that God put him in the White House and most of the drooling staff here agrees with him. The more pressure put on him, the more withdrawn he is becoming. He will never fire Rice or Rumsfeld because he would be totally lost without them. Cheney has a really bad pump and he could peg out any day now so where would that leave the President? Believe me when I say that Bush is totally a creature of his aides. He won’t read and never watches TV. Maybe you noticed this but he did not go to the college graduation services for either of his beautiful daughters. Why? The Secret Service says that the schools received so many death threats that it was decided early on that he would not appear there. It got so bad that the daughters wouldn’t go either. Bush is scared to death he will be killed so he never goes anywhere without a massive guard. If he goes to a town in Iowa to talk, the guards go in first, secure the areas, put men in the hall for 48 hours. No one is allowed to protest either on camera or in the Imperial Presence. They map out his grand entrance with care, stuff the hall with loyal Republicans bussed in from as far away as Nebraska (!) and anyone with an anti-Bush or anti-war sign is moved, by force if necessary, to a area a mile away from where God’s Lieutenant is speaking. And God help you if you were standing in the “approved” crowd and suddenly whip out a negative sign or shout something bad at him. Off you go to be harassed by the Secret Service. They photograph you and warn you never, never to do that again or they will lock you up in the local slammer whenever Bush comes into the neighborhood.

Private polls here show that Bush is the most hated President since Lincoln but we, none of us, ever see these. Rove said that Gore was a “traitor” to the United States and should be locked up. Ditto for General Zinni who is really jabbing at his ex-Commander in Chief. They stopped trying to find me and are now frantically doing much-too-late damage control. With most of the media turning against Bush, his fanatic followers are scared that he will lose in November and even more important, that there is the possibility of some kind of punitive action being used against him. He lies constantly to the military (which is a no-no in the end) and Congress, started a war knowing full well that he was full of shit but Cheney told him, along with Rummy, that it would all be over in a week and the stupid rag heads would run off into the desert and we would have all that nice oil. God help anyone who dared to dispute this. Now we are stuck with a brain-damaged weirdo in the Oval Office, surrounded by a pack of vicious war criminals who sound like something from one of Hitler’s big party rallies in the ‘30s. Ashcroft is a lying KKK reject who keeps bleating about terrorist attacks. No one has any idea where he gets his input but that one is about as nutty as Frist and Ridge. The plan was to announce a major terrorist attack coming up really soon. When it doesn’t materialize (because it was never planned) then the Strange Ones can have a solemn press conference and announce that they were able to prevent something that they made up in the first place. They do this for religious and political reasons. You have no idea the great contempt these strange ducks have for the American voters. They look upon us as a pack of stupid sheep that they, the Divine Shepherds, have to lead to an Imperium that they neither need nor want. More later. I have some really lovely stories about Karl Rove that you can have the next time I write.

May 24, 2004

Since you have had the courtesy to post my comments, there has been quite an uproar around the White House. So far, they have checked lap tops, tapped all outgoing telephone calls, threatened lie detector tests of suspected staffers and issued all kinds of sinister threats. I think they are going to get Generals Karpinski or Miller to run this place. And on that subject, various things to relate.

First off, I want your readers to understand that Bush does not call me in for Afternoons. I have seen him a number of times while I am on the job and he only said “Hi!” to me once but it might have been a water cooler he was looking at.

Bush is a very petty, mean man. He is vengeful to a degree and he will go after anyone or any institution that had dared to cross him or question his God-sent motives. Persistent rumor here has it that back when Bush was sloshed to the gills every day, he was a very, very mean drunk. The favorite scuttlebutt here is that once he stepped in an organic mess made by a family pet and was trying to beat it to death with a ball bat when his wife finally stopped him. She told him that if he didn’t give up his serious daily boozing, she would leave him and take the children. He found religion instead of Jack Daniels and now we all have to put up with a miserable, vicious and probably brain-damaged dry drunk….

How does our President get his daily information? He either can’t or won’t read any newspaper or watch any television station. Every morning, the Likud Express people prepare position papers for him. These reflect their views because, aside from his religion, he doesn’t have any. Three of the secretaries around here who work on these have told me that Bush can only concentrate for about ten to fifteen minutes per item. Anything too complex or too prolix causes him to “wander” and he will change the subject and discuss sports with his aides. Fine.

What he gets is what I call the Likud Express people, otherwise known as the Neo Cons. I am Jewish but these freaks are so far right wing they view Adolf Hitler as a Communist. Bush thinks that the state of Israel is the Home of God and anything he can do for them is wonderful. Sharon is a swine who delights in slaughtering Arab children and old women but Bush won’t hear a word of criticism of him. What Sharon wants, Sharon gets, in spades. All this is doing to increasing anti-Semitism in American by leaps and bounds although most Reformed Jews hate the Likud nuts.

They play, we pay….

Although the New Republicans do not like blacks, and Ashcroft has a nice white sheet in his closet for the day when the Klan rules, Bush is careful on this subject. He is also very muted on the gay issue too. Rumor here has it that Bush is “very friendly” with an African-American drag queen he has known for years and had some strange friends at Yale. All of them gay or not too far back in the closet. And all this on top of a truly petty and mean disposition.

When his Dad ran for office, George was his hit man on the campaign staff. George delighted in sniffing out staffers who were not completely loyal and sacked them. I understand he loved to do this in as nasty a way as he could….

Bush also hates the French, all Muslims (he calls himself the New Crusader…Get the Arabs out of our Holy Land…in a box if necessary) anywhere and especially in the States. He, Ashcroft and Rumsfeld have concocted a set of horrible rules of engagement, the fruits of which we now see in Iraqi prisons. It was Bush who instigated the various violations of the Geneva Convention. Bush has no use for any law or convention that stands in his way. He and his crew hate the UN with a passion and I have heard him say that the euro is a trick of the one-world idiots and it ought to be replaced with the dollar.

Another source outside the White House says that the President and his people in the Pentagon want to nuke North Korea. Bush hates their leader and trashed him in public. Of course he hasn’t got the troops to do it and the fool is stripping South Korea of troops for Iraq. My friends in State are horrified by this but no one can tell Bush anything and most people are in awe of him (mostly the office) and won’t dare tell him anything contrary to his beliefs.

Yes, Bush has medical problems. He can’t answer questions; he has a very short-term memory; he is fixated on religious concepts to the complete detriment of our foreign policy. His vicious, short sighted and irrational hatreds are doing and will do terrible damage to America abroad. We have no friends now and every new desertion brings out screams of rage from the Oval Office with Bush ranting about “sanctions” and “economic punishment” against anyone who even dares to look cock-eyed at him.

I have been collecting all kinds of neat files on some of his aides and will send them off to you in a week or so. There are some real lovelies working inside the White House. Of course there were some double-ended freaks here during the Clinton years but they only fellated each other in closets and didn’t go around napalming mosques full of frightened women and kids.

May 29, 2004

Well, here goes at least one interesting story for you and your friends. One of my contacts inside the White House, a nice young lady (don’t laugh..they exist) who has been dating a man in one of the security agencies (CIA, FBI or Secret Service…take your choice here) went on a date with him last weekend (May 22-23). Both had a “few drinks” and went to his apartment. He was trying to impress her (among other things) and told her the following: This Berg kid was not killed and decapitated by Arabs. He was killed by CIA interrogators and decapitated after he was dead, for propaganda purposes. The FBI had their hands on him but could get nothing out of him so the Company boys took over, played too rough and killed him. Then they contacted headquarters and decided on a grisly charade. They put makeup on him (his face was all banged up) and faked a beheading. When you cut someone’s throat, there is a terrible amount of blood squirting out all over the place. Not so in the Berg video. And after they cut off his head, they buried it out in the desert because if anyone ever found it attached to his body, they would know how he died and no one wanted to autopsy the skull and remove the American-made slug from his brain. The headless body was tossed out in southern Iraq and left to bloat for a while and then “discovered” and sent home. This is typical CIA business…killing people that is. Anyway, the informant was crying because she thinks that because she has knowledge, she will be snuffed too. She probably would have the usual heart attack if she blabbed so I have to be careful about any identifying info. Do I believe this? Given all the scuttlebutt floating around the Beltway, I surely do.

Bush sees the ground slipping out from under his flat feet and he and his boys will do anything to stay in power, even to cutting off the head of a corpse and making a circus out of it on the media. Another bit I picked up from my conscience-stricken informant is that there is now more anti aircraft equipment on the roof of the White House, and two other nearby buildings, than there ever was on the battleship Iowa. The security people here are really frightened that someone, Arab or local, will do A Bad Thing, possibly crashing a truck full of nitro into the barriers or a plane into the West Wing. I think personally that since very few of these people really like Bush, they are afraid they might be in the way if and when. Note here: It is strictly forbidden under penalty to even hint at the large and apparently serious death threats coming in against not only the President but Cheney and Rumsfeld as well. And I mean a strict prohibition! Parenthetically, I discussed this with my editor and he told me to shut up on the subject. He doesn’t want a heart attack and neither would our CEO…

April 28, 2004

Thank you for publishing my comments. Since you put these up on your website, there has been a kind of private, muted panic in the White House. The Bush Gestapo is determined to find out who I am. Fortunately, I am not a staff member but now I understand the WH is getting the FBI into the act to do a computer linguistic check on my comments to compare these with articles I might have written. Way to go with the tax dollars, Karl!)

You ought to look into the incident when Bush got a nasty, deep cut on his head when he “fell off the couch while watching a football game.” Did he land on the dog? Bush is known to fall down from time to time, according to [redacted] for “no apparent reason at all.

Yesterday, a senior staff member cornered me in the press room and wanted to show me that he had no cross under his coat lapel. I asked him why he was doing this and he replied that some “psycho” in the White House was “spreading lies” to the media. When I asked him where this had appeared, and took out my trusty notebook, he shut up and went off to pray somewhere.

Latrine rumor has it that a new memo is coming out, strictly prohibiting any “non-assigned personnel” from entering into any White House office except by specific invitation and then with a “guide.” So much for the Jesus wallpaper. Everywhere but the lavatory. One of my irreverent colleagues scrawled up something bad about the Prez on a wall over one of the staff urinals and now these are under 24 hour video surveillance. Makes certain bodily practices very embarrassing.

When Sharon was here, [redacted] told me that Bush basically asked him what he wanted and then gave it to him. No quid pro quo and Foggybottom (Department of State. Ed) folks were livid.

One of the jokes here is about the Fabulous Bush twins. They are not to be talked about because they are following in Dad’s uncertain footsteps. What a family. Two of the children are drunks and the niece is a raging drug addict who was selling crack in the halfway house in Florida! I told my editor I was having fun but I would rather cover drying paint. It’s less dangerous, let me advise you. By the way, all calls outside the White House are tapped and taped.

My colleague from the Mickey Mouse channel has been telling a great story, but outside the White House. In one of the top Presidential aide’s offices, on the wall, are three big pictures. One, in the center, is a colored picture of an Aryan Jesus flanked left and right by smirking portraits of Bush and Cheney. Our commentator refers to this tableaux as Christ between the Two Thieves!

April 21, 2004

In the current White House, attendance at daily Christian Evangelical prayer meetings is mandatory.

Vice President Cheney is the de facto President of the United States. When he arrives at the White House for one of his "briefings" of the President, all employees are cleared from the West Wing and especially from the Presidential office suites. Cheney arrives in an escorted armored limousine surrounded by his own personal, heavily armed bodyguard and is always shown directly into the President's office. It is reliably reported by [redacted] that Bush has a thick pad of lined, yellow note paper on his desk, placed there by [redacted] just before the Vice President arrives.

After Cheney's departure, the notes taken by the President are transcribed by [redacted] and prepared as talking points for the President...

At some time in the past, according to both [redacted] and [redacted] the President suffered what one of his aides called "a very minor seizure" and as a result of this, the President has a very difficult time following any unscripted conversations. For this reason, his staff carefully and aggressively protect the President from "unexpected" questions that he is not capable of answering.

The President takes oral medication at least twice a day according to [redacted] because of an unspecified "indisposition' and this subject is strictly off limits for any casual staff conversation.

At one point during a staff conference, the President stood up and began to speak in an unknown language. Mr. Rove was able to stop the President and get him to resume his seat. It was reported by [redacted] that for a period of time (about fifteen minutes) after this incident, the President appeared to be 'somewhat confused and very inarticulate.'

White House staff members report that they rarely see the President during work hours and that when they do, he is generally accompanied by Mr. Rove and almost never either looks at or speaks to members of the staff. He does not appear to recognize many of the staff members and almost all contact with these individuals are carried out by his close aides, especially by Mr. Rove.

Bush hold as few meetings with the public, including the press, as possible. We get reams of official papers informing us of this or that new directive. Those of us who have an inside track with the staff are taken to dinner and given the questions to ask Bush. These are questions he has been thoroughly briefed on and has memorized the answers for. Anyone who persists in pushing the envelope gets a rocket from the Rove people and does not get invited back.

Most of the staff are young, dedicated, almost fanatical, and very, very Christian. The Ten Commandments are in each and every office with nice pictures of Jesus accompanying them. I have chatted up a few of these bright-faced kids and find out that they Love Jesus, Hate Gays, Abortionists, Moslems, Blacks, Catholics, some Jews, all Democrats, Liberals, Hindus, Chinese, Frenchmen, Germans, and now, Spaniards.

There are daily parades of born-agains into the White House, all chanting the praises of the Lord and Bush, in that order of course. Most of them want all abortionists hung along with gays (the Beltway and the Pentagon would be empty) and godless Muslims and Buddhists. Orwell would have loved this place! Yesterday [redacted] told me in strict confidence of course, that if Diebold didn’t reelect George, the Lord would. They all wear miniature US flags on their clothes but under the lapels they have “hidden tokens of the True Faith” and they flip their lapels with knowing smiles when they meet another True Believer.

April 8, 2004

The Bush people including their troops in Congress, Justice Scalia, the warlords of the right, the Pentagon and Rupert Murdoch, the Washington Times and the National Review have all decided that we must have a draft as quickly as possible. Rove has said that even to broach this seriously before November would be suicide so it is now being set up in detail, predicated on a Bush victory. And on that subject, the Beltway rumors mills have it that the election “is in the bag.” Vote rigging is often spoken of with happiness and there is always the strong probability of an “October Surprise” to propel the tardy of support into backing Bush, our “wartime” president. Congress has the draft packages, the SS is now officially activated and the FBI has been ordered to prepare “preventive action” against potential draft dodgers and anti war activists.

Scalia, somewhat to the right of Attila the Hun, has voiced his opinion that draft dodgers can be put in Federal jails without further let or hindrance under new “emergency” acts being drawn up. A National Identity Card is being considered as a means of preventing draft dodging. How will the press handle this? Do we want to end up in a concentration camp undergoing a “patriotic rebirth?” This whole plan, which exists now on paper, is called “Operation Lexington.” Copies are marked “TOP SECRET- COSMIC” which is really a level of accession. Interesting times ahead as the Bush Blackshirts oil up their golden swastikas and try out their new black leather top boots.

March 24, 2004

Clarke has kicked over the hornet’s nest and the administration has dragged out its hit teams to trash Clarke. It is pathetic to watch White House staffers making identical statements to the media, word for word. Clarke has produced a book that will cause very serious trouble to the Bushites and they will spare no effort to trash it and its author. Look for some ‘stunning new revelation’ to emerge very soon (two or three weeks or until it can be fabricated) that will distract the public, and the media, from this dangerous topic.

The ongoing censorship by the Pentagon of the death lists in Iraq is being dished by foreign media. It may not be in the New York Times but it is in the Guardian and we learn that more and more Americans are turning to foreign media news sites for whatever passes for the truth these days. …Oil prices are skyrocketing due to Arab interdiction of oil production and look for this economic boycotting of the US to spread. A terrible specter for the Bush people would be $5 per gallon prices to emerge before the November elections. Now that the CIA has lost its bid to topple Chavez, they are turning their completely unqualified attentions to Brunei to guarantee the Sultan sticks to the party line. The Company is highly pissed off at the Japs for their oil deals with Iran. When the Bush White House issues an order, it is to be obeyed!
