Aside from obvious sabotage of the Presidential helicopters, a flood of serious threats against the President, there is also consternation in the Monkey Palace over the fact that the movie, "Death of a President" has opened and is now showing at the E-Street Theater on 11th Street in DC, as well as some 110 other theaters nationwide. Is there a connection with the helicopter business? Who knows? The Oval Office brought utmost pressure to prevent this movie being released in America.

Rumors are flooding the Internet that Bush is about to declare Martial Law and declare himself President for Life. One of my co-workers wrote this up with an eye to keeping attention away from the debacle in Iraq. There we have a sharply escalating casualty list, rampant civil war, mutinous troops and never enough to override the other side, chaos in Afghanistan (not talked about) with the Taliban back in place, opium production increased over the levels before we occupied the country, the U.S blasting schools full of children because someone told them that terrorists were hiding in them (obviously a successful ploy to get us to further blacken our already filthy reputations) Halliburton and other Bush friends suddenly pulling out of what for them was a bonanza of riches (they know what’s coming) and reports of high level officers in the Pentagon burning many files in anticipation of a Democratic take-over of the Congress followed by serious investigations.

And now we learn that a top Evangelical preacher, a friend and advisor of Bush, got caught out when his paid gay lover snitched on him! Drugs and Fudgepacking, all in the name Of Higher Things! Dare someone bring up Gannon in this context?

You should see Bush’s face these days. His complexion is blotched, mouth turned down, eyes squinched shut, snarling at everyone one moment and next declaring in a loud voice that he will sweep on to victory next week. Bush is crazy. He could have turned this election around if only he had promised to do something positive or speak, however vaguely, about pulling out of Iraq or at least appearing to consider this. Instead, knowing how angry the American public is on this subject, he sticks his furry tongue out and screeches like a drunken whore about not leaving Iraq (or Afghanistan) during his term.

Both Cheney and Rumsfeld are universally despised by everyone but Bush will never, ever fire them. Again, the tongue stuck out, fingers in ears, feet stamping on the floor.

He puts on a half-hearted act while out on the pathetic hustings these days but in truth, a stay at St. Elizabeth’s Clown House here would do him wonders. Well, Bush and his crime partners ran up a bill we will be paying for years. Cheney will die of a heart attack while Bush is living out of the country on all the loot he dragged in. Bush’s presidential pockets are just as deep and just as stuffed with illicit cash as are Cheney’s.

I’m a little late this week because of what I just found out. It seems that a person, or persons, currently unknown, poured molasses into the oil system of several of the Presidential helicopters! It was discovered when a guard noticed traces of the molasses dripping on side of the craft and a through check disclosed that not one but two helicopters had been sabotaged. The molasses would have heated up inside and gummed up the moving parts, causing a crash.

Very few staffers are aware of this which, according to the Marine source who told me, must have happened within the past week. I asked several non-government mechanics I know (my car is always having engine trouble) about this and both told me that this is an old trick and guaranteed to freeze up the machinery.

Add to this the discovery of a bullet impact mark on one of the heavily bullet-proof windows of the Oval Office. Nothing was noticed for several days and then a man tending the grounds saw it. No one knows when it happened but a week is about the closest anyone can come. They were trying to figure out where the shooter was located but apparently since only one surface was damaged, there was no way to figure this out. If the bullet had penetrated and hit the President or some more important object like a desk, figuring the trajectory would be relatively easy. A Secret Service man told me that Bush has had more serious death threats than any other President since Abraham Lincoln but there is a total blackout on such comments. Obviously, new security measures have to be taken but I have no idea what they are. I do note that there are more anti-aircraft weapons on the White House roof than on the Battleship Iowa!

October 26, 2006

The most important issue being discussed in the White House, aside from Rove’s evil attacks on black Democrats, is the war in Iraq. The articles on the Falcon disaster drew at least a quarter million viewers and has not made your Mr. Harring a popular person at the Pentagon. As I understand it, a number of DoD employees were drafted into service, writing fake emails allegedly from Iraq denying the entire business but at this point, the public has gotten wise to such things as they are wising up to the federal blogger who always seem to have some sensational “news” to trumpet after some terrible government failure. Many of the more prominent bloggers take money for this sort of thing and can certainly be expected to accuse Harring of having sex with the mother of his own children. He did such a good job that I passed him some material on the activation of the National Guard that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have cooked up for after the elections. I decided to let Mr. Harring have all of this because it is his field and I am now working on another matter.

October 23, 2006

Your story about the Iraqi Resistance attack on Forward Base Falcon on 10/11 October is causing spastic colon at the DoD, and certainly here. The Pentagon has rushed out a sort of “rebuttal” to Harring’s charges, excerpts of which I will include here. Off the record, this attack, which destroyed tons of badly-needed small arms ammunition and badly damaged many vehicles and several helicopters, not to mention inflicting significant casualties on the troops, is certainly known to have happened. Pentagon brass, in conjunction with the White House, ordered a complete blackout on any news until they could make an “evaluation” of the mess. Our campaign to take over complete military control over Baghdad and stop the religious and political massacres before the mid terms has completely collapsed and this Falcon business is the final straw. The Pentagon’s Lincoln Group types have put out pages of the silliest nonsense I have ever seen and sent it around to “friendly blogs” (i.e., the Government pays them off.. There are more of these paid finks lurking on the Internet than you realize) and many foreign newspapers. (They don’t want a word about this to appear anywhere in the U.S. media BTW)

These are not “official” U.S. rebuttals but are written so as to appear to be outraged “corrections” from GIs at the scene. In reality, most of the writers are fat-assed punks whose checks should be gift wrapped. The odious Lincoln Group people were recently cleared of charges they looted the cash box of many millions. We know this must be true because the body that cleared them of sticky fingers and gross incompetence was the office of the Inspector General himself!

You can’t get much more reliable than that, can you?

First, here are the Pentagon excuses, in digest form, and then the actual facts:

"The so-called “rocket attack” on Forward Base Falcon has been blow up out of all proportions. First, Falcon is a very small base, supposed to be closed next month because no one uses it. What happened is that some Iraqi criminals lobbed a few mortar shells into a nearly abandoned base and accidentally ignited some pyrotechnic materials such a Fourth of July type rockets and some old small arms ammunition. It is true that set a small fire but it was soon put out. There were only ten soldiers at the base at the time and none of them were either injured or killed. The only damage was to a small holding area and a nearby empty storage shed. Falcon was not a “staging area” in any sense and was just a maintenance center for vehicles, only one of which was slightly scorched. Army firefighters put out the blaze in twenty minutes with very little trouble. In spite of rumors, there is no airfield nearby and there is no such hospital as mentioned in one negative report. Since no one was killed or injured, there was no evacuation of anyone. This was just a casual shelling, which happens all the time, and investigations have shown that a stray shell accidentally fell into the small area involved, causing a minor fire, soon extinguished”

First of all, Falcon is a mile square so it is not a “very small base.” It has been in the process of construction for three years. Surrounded by a stone wall and guarded by towers manned with troops, it was built to hold ca 5,000 troops. The mess hall is designed to feed 3,000 men at a sitting. On the base was an artillery park, a tank storage area, a soft-skinned vehicle part and maintenance area over a hundred barracks or living areas, ( sixty of which were burnt down) a fuel depot, a bunkered small arms, and other ammunition, storage. There were about 3,000 troops at the base at the time of the attack and many fled to shelter areas.

There has been some misconception over the nature of the so-called “casualty list” you published. In military parlance, “casualty” is a soldier either wounded or killed, who is unable to fight. This is not a “death list” at all . There is indeed a major hospital complex west of Baghdad, recently completed to be able to handle the soaring number of badly injured which it was felt could not be airlifted out of the country. There is an airfield adjacent to Falcon that can handle both helicopter and large cargo aircraft.

Every bit of this information comes, not from secret Pentagon reports but from Google. I checked all of this out myself as can anyone else with reasonable skills and a computer. You don’t need “secret informants,” so beloved by the bloggers, for this one, children.

The size of the base, the number of troops it can hold (in this case, the 4th Infantry Division was at least partially housed there), the hospital complex, the airfield and, most especially, the duration of the attack –caused blazes (at least nine hours in duration) is well covered on that search engine. More can be found on official U.S. government sites so the stories of a tiny old storage area, small and unimportant fires, soon extinguished and, most especially, no casualties of any kind, is typical head-in-the-sand Pentagon crap.

There doesn’t seem to be any doubt that redoubled efforts on the part of the well-armed (mostly armed with weapons from Iran via Russia) resistance in advance of the mid terms is deliberate. The official U.S. death tolls have shot up this month and will certainly not go down. The U.S. military plan to control, by force, all of Baghdad before the election has failed miserably.

Believe me, there are no new troops to throw into the battle and the ones now engaged are worn out, very short of ammunition, working with tanks and armored personnel carriers badly crippled by the constant sand storms which wreak havoc on tank, truck and helicopter engines, designed for temperate climates.

Never mind the wholesale corruption, the faggotry in the White House and on the Hill, Iraq is going to be, and in fact is, the Achilles heel of the Bush administration and its far-right friends and helpers.

The Falcon disaster is real and more than symptomatic of the whole shabby program of U.S. political and military domination, accompanied by a great bodyguard of lies.

The problem is that while Bush and his crime partners can eventually retire in great comfort with their loot, there are many tens of thousands who are either very dead or badly and permanently crippled.

Who cares, Cheney would say, as long as my Halliburton stock keeps its value?

And please remember me saying that Bush will never withdraw a single soldier from Iraq as long as he is in office. He will not budge an inch, even if Congress changes hands and he is ordered to do so. (See new AP story in Harring section Ed.) This might be an interesting, and domestically violent, two years until the end of his term.

October 18, 2006

The bottom has basically fallen out of Rove’s Super Plan for a permanent Republican Majority and an Imperial President project. Bush has fucked up so badly and so often that nothing can save him from what he justly deserves: oblivion. Lies, schemes, arrogance and a complete unwillingness to negotiate have not only destroyed Bush but done terrible damage to the so-called Conservative Image. He promised much and delivered little. Bush will do that. He tells the religious nuts he will ban gay marriage and abortion and then go off on some other little game he has invented, leaving his frustrated staff to sooth the outraged religious confidence tricksters. They have finally realized that not only has Bush not followed through after they in essence got him elected twice but can’t do anything now if he wanted to. Campaign money is shifting from the Republicans, who are seen as big losers, to the Democrats. Many Republican Congressmen are openly courting their Democratic opponents and all of them are ignoring Bush. What will happen if Bush loses Congress? As far as he is concerned, nothing. He doesn’t pay any attention to Congress now, laughing at their legislation and refusing to enforce laws he doesn’t like so if he can’t get any legislation through, he will simply make it up and do what he wants.

He is setting the scene for a major confrontation that can only end in disaster. He wants to call up all the National Guards from every state and ship every one of them off to Iraq. He wants to recall every soldier with combat experience who had left the service since 2003 and has encouraged the recruiting officers to take ex-convicts, high school drop outs and ghetto sweepings in the hopes that mere numbers will terrify the rest of the world with America’s military might. George doesn’t seem to realize that the rest of the world holds us all in contempt and derision because they know we couldn’t attack Tijuana, let alone Iran or North Korea. To put the cherry on the top of the rotten sundae that includes Katrina indifference, WMD bald faced lies, torture on order, undeclared and very expensive war, we have the failed push to knock out the resistance in Baghdad, a raging civil war in that city and now the destruction of our supplies and a rapidly escalating daily casualty rate. As Talleyrand said once, it’s worse than a crime. It’s a mistake.

October 16, 2006

If the American public thinks the Foley cover-up was bad, wait until the latest gigantic military cover-up erupts. Here we have a major military disaster in Iraq of incomprehensible magnitude that has been shut off and hidden away by the Pentagon and the White House. If this comes out before the elections, and it will, look for the Republicans to lose both the Senate and the House and both Bush and Rumsfeld to lose their political heads.

In looking over the paperwork on this, it is not possible to believe that after the Foley scandal our Beloved Leaders and Protectors could be so bloody damned stupid but they obviously are. Your Brian Harring is about to light a fuse that will cause more damage than the major event he is writing about. We can all save our outrage until the 20th next. We will probably need it.

October 12, 2006

Foley has been demoted to the back pages. An “investigation” is in progress that is guaranteed to drag on long after the mid terms in November and be “inconclusive” in conclusion. So much for a free press. The question of whether or not North Korea set of a real bomb or faked it is still up in the air but in the end, it doesn’t matter. Bush shrieked with rage when the news first came out, and threatened to attack North Korea. When it was pointed out to him that we don’t have enough forces to attack the Montreal Police Department for not taking proper punitive action when Canadian students posted a block-long sign depicting Bush being sodomized by a Democrat donkey, he backed off and mumbled about terrible sanctions. Now, we learn that neither Russia or China, entitles Bush has repeatedly insulted and who both have a UN veto, will support draconian actions against North Korea and so Bush is reduced to waving his arms and mouthing off about saving the world. The world would be much better off without him and his idiot crime partners.

Now, we also discover that the Bush people “aren’t really true Christians” after all but are merely using the greedy ninnies to get votes. What a revelation! I could have, and did, told everyone about this a year ago but no one really cares and Christians do not read your website. This place reminds me of the frenzies in a nut house just before they pass out medications at night. No, I have never been incarcerated in a nut house but when I was working my way through school, I did night duty in a nut ward at a famous Boston hospital and believe me, the parallel is really on target. Bush has lied to and then betrayed dozens of supportive groups simply because Curious George has never told the truth and lies badly.

October 8, 2006

Although Foley and his frantic defenders at Fox News and also by the convicted drug addict, Limbaugh, claim he “never had sex with minors,” a collection of his personal digital photos of himself with nude boys now circulating around both the media and those of Congress still in D.C., show very graphically to the contrary.

Pages who have been snitching but redacting their names will be horrified to learn that a new report from the DoJ names them in detail, possibly as a means of frightening others to keep their mouths shut about the activities of this proliferate pervert and his friends.

And also, it is the general theme here among the straight Democrats, that whoever started this filthy story on its merry way, picked just the right time. The Democrats, by the way, had nothing to do with exposing Foley (and others) There is no doubt at all that Dennis Hastert and at least ten senior Republican members of both the Senate and the House had full knowledge of Foley’s ten year reign of sexual terror among young pages but did absolutely nothing about it.

There is also no doubt, from the squeakings of terror from inside the White House that Bush himself was fully aware of the charges. Of course he now “stands behind Hastert” (not a judicious choice of words, George) whom he put in as a totally obedient Speaker and does not want to see resign.

Also, someone just told me that the Evangelical Christians still think Bush and his deviants are wonderful people. Wait until their own sons have their pants pulled down and then listen to the howls of vindictive rage.

The snail-trail of vice and corruption not only covers the floors of the Republican side of the House but also extends right into the White House and also the halls of Congress and the main office of the GOP where the head of the Party is soon going to have his own problems with his expressions of his sexual nature.

And Rupert Murdoch’s supermarket tabloid papers are claiming that Foley only buggered boys over 21! Sure, Rupert, and don’t forget to put your pants on before going outside! (Rupert has small memory problems these days. Old age is shipwreck.)

Since Foley was a strong supporter of the needs of Evangelical Christians, can we now say that a good watchword for him and his cronies would be: “Bugger a Page for Christ?” I have also heard it said by jocular Democrats on the Hill: “Don’t bend the page over, please!”

We can say in all honesty that President Clinton, at least, preferred women as sex partners.

Can we say that with honesty about all Presidents?

If the shoe, or in this case the condom, fits, wear it.

I am sending to you nice people about 150 disgusting digital pictures taken in hotel bedrooms and elsewhere over about a nine year period. Why not call these ‘Foley’s Follies?

October 6, 2006

When I wrote about the Foley seduction of minors in my last submission, I thought it would a five day wonder with the media soon finding such other exciting subjects as the Girl from Aruba or toxic waste found in a Cincinnati swimming pool for minority children.

They usually do this, on orders, to keep the public away from potentially dangerous matters.

That Foley was a pedophilic fag is now well-known. His lawyer came up with the defense that his client had been sexually abused by an unnamed “clergyman” as a child, ergo, it was understandable why he became a sexual predator and preyed on young boys.

Yes, we have seen the identical defense in other cases. A lawyer will say, in court, ‘When Timmy was a small child, his father and mother used to beat him so we can easily understand why he threw a live hand grenade into the day care center.’ This may jerk a tear or two but it does not save Timmy from the well-deserved needle.

The entire Foley scandal has been causing a feeding frenzy in the media, a disruptive frenzy that Bush is frantically trying to shut off, and abject terror in both the Republican-controlled Senate and House.

The idiot blogs are filled with their usual wild and irrational speculation and endless and boring reams of worthless personal opinion but nowhere are the basic facts of the matter addressed. The Republican leadership, shaken as they are by the implications of this disgusting perversion, take some comfort that the growing reports of a raging and destructive Iraq civil war and sharply increasing U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan are knocked off the front page. Hopefully until after November’s elections.

By now, most Americans know that Rep. Mark Foley, R, Florida, suddenly resigned his post just ahead of published reports that he was engaging in “improper” and “naughty” activities with under aged male Congressional pages.

As<> absolutely none of this is a secret in the Republican House, Senate or White House<>, I am going to fill in some of the blank spaces in the public’s perception. And I am also printing three of the lewd, suggestive and pornographic homosexual messages sent by a U.S. Congressman, a close friend of the ruined Tom Delay and highly thought of by President Bush himself. I have six more such emails but they are so filthy and graphic that I will not submit them.

Mark Foley is, and has been for years, an aggressive, homosexual pedophile. Using his position in Congress as a growing power in the Republican party, Foley has preyed very actively on the under aged male pages working in the Senate and the House.

He has had sexual relations with a number of these teen aged boys, generally mutual masturbation but often oral sex.

Foley supplied liquor to these young men as well as some drugs.

Please note that all of these activities are felonious. They are direct and serious violations of state and federal laws. Foley himself is well aware that he is in direct violation of the law. Exhibit A (below) shows the most recent of the bills Foley introduced to the House which speak to the “protection of America’s youth” from sexual predators.

As an example of gross hypocrisy, this matter has few recorded peers.

Foley has been seducing young men, entrusted to the care of the government by their trusting parents, for at least <>ten years<> and herein lies the methodology by which he was eventually exposed and forced to resign.

Much of this information comes from several highly restricted reports that have been circulating to the Republican leadership, both in the House and Senate for about <>nine months<>. More information has come from various members of the House, known to me personally, and more from friends who are current members of the media ,all of whom were well aware of this criminal activity long before it became public.

It seems that many of the pages, lusted after by an uncontrollable and arrogant Foley, were very unhappy with his unwanted and often repulsive advances. Many of his intended victims expressed their anger to others, and in the page corps, most young men went out of their way to avoid his lewd and sexually suggestive remarks and furtive gropings.

Eventually, several of the intended victims got together and determined to expose the Florida right wing Republican. They were well aware that Foley’s behavior was a disgrace, and illegal, and believed, in error, that if those in power became aware of this predatory behavior, Foley would at the least be ordered to stop or at the greatest, forced out of office. They collected horror stories from their friends and finally, achieved a great coup.

One of their number. A fifteen year old, admitted to having extensive and ongoing sexual acts with Foley. They all knew Foley was sending lewd, suggestive and completely illegal messages to numerous pages and they became determined to get their hands on the evidence. Finally, the designated page agreed to help them when they pointed out they would tell his parents and on one occasion when the 15 year old page was having a sexual encounter with the 50 year old Congressman, he had occasion, while Foley was taking a shower after an evening of mutual masturbation and oral sex, to access Foley’s laptop computer, with the permission of Foley himself, and to quickly download a disk full of text messages that Foley kept as “trophy talks,” as he called them.

The disgusting conversations were all printed out, in gross detail, and copies were made by the rebels.

The first set of documents were sent out to key Republicans in the House. These pages were all devoted young Republicans and were merely bent on removing a vicious predator and preventing his assaults on them, not promoting anti-Republican sentiments.

They sent out a total of twenty envelopes.

Quite naturally, they expected some kind of result.

There was dead silence, even weeks later.

They then sent out more envelopes to lesser Republicans in the House and again, not a word of response was heard anywhere. Angry and bewildered at the total lack of results, they began to send out more envelopes, this time to the American media.

Eventually, they sent out packets to: The New York Times, the New York Post, the Washington Post, the Washington Times, Time Magazine, U.S. News and World Report, Newsweek, CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS., and even the Washington, D.C. office of the FBI and various persons inside the Department of Justice.

(Whatever its motives for exposing this evil man might be, we all owe a very large debt to CBS News for having the moral courage, and the exquisite timing, for exposing Foley, and eventually, Hastert and the rest of his willing co-conspirators.)

Also, they sent at least a dozen copies to various high level persons inside the Bush White House.

As before, total silence reigned.

These mailings had been in progress for six months and I have seen an example. There is no question about the contents and equally, no question that Foley was in direct violation of many existing laws ironically, to include laws he himself has sponsored.

From my own personal investigations I have heard repeatedly that “no one wanted to touch this one” and that the White House was “very displeased” with the entire issue. The President liked Foley and is known to be “extremely tolerant and even very friendly,” with the numerous practicing homosexuals on the White House staff. This means that no Republican would dare to discuss it in public. In private a great deal was said and a significant number of Republicans went to Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House, to lodge complaints. There were at least sixteen such specific complaints made to Hastert over a five month period. Hastert did nothing at all other than to vaguely tell Foley “straighten up his act.”

When Dennis says he ‘knew nothing about this’, he is either senile or lying in his teeth. Don’t vote for him in November, Illinois. If Bush likes him as much as he says he does, he must be badly flawed

What Foley was doing was clearly felonious. If an individual has notice of felonious criminal activity, their duty is not to tell the Speaker of the House but competent law enforcement. Although the FBI and the Justice Department had been advised of this and some preliminary investigations were launched, not only on the part of law officials but many media members as well, it was very, very clearly indicated that Foley was in direct, and serious, violation of both Federal and state laws

As before absolutely nothing was done.

The Republicans were engaged in a serious political fight over control of the House and Senate and Bush’s problems were growing day by day. There are so many gays inside the U.S. government that the actions of one more was of no concern

In short, many Republican politicians, members of the media and various law enforcement agencies were clearly guilty of misprison of a felony, itself a serious crime and after being clearly and very believably noticed of the commission of ongoing felonies,<> did nothing<>, they all have become accessories before, and after, the fact.

I can well imagine, and have seen proof of this, that the well-organized Christian Right has turned their faces, and their organized voters, away from Bush and his pedophiles and while they will not vote for the evil liberal, secular humanist Democrats, also will not vote for a political party they see as embracing young boys instead of Jesus and the Ten Commandments.

Why not add a new Commandment for Republicans that would be so apt right now?

‘Thou Shalt Not Get Caught.’

And a possible motto for the House, if it stays Republican,

‘Bend over and I’ll drive you home.’”

Rep. Mark Foley in 2002:

“I’m deeply disappointed the High Court sided with pedophiles over children. This decision has set back years of work on behalf of the most innocent of Americans.

This was my immediate reaction on April 16 when the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6 to 3 ruling struck down a bipartisan Congressional ban on virtual child pornography. The 1996 law I voted for banned all child pornography, real or virtual.”

Some very unhappy people here but not about the mid term elections. It seems that after the Second World War, the Soviets captures all of the records of the Nazi concentration camps…from 1935 to 1945….and put them in their archives in Moscow. Because they pretty much knock a hole in the legend of six millions gassed, Jewish groups pressured Russia not to ever allow any researcher to see or copy any of these and for certain, never to release the contents of these files to anyone, ever. Russians are easy to bribe and apparently someone in the States got the whole file (on microfilm) and there is fury and panic over this. Jewish groups have asked the DoJ to declare these “improperly released” classified documents and grab them. Unfortunately, there is no legal basis for doing this. The original documents were German and the microfilms are Russian, not American. Some of these groups have built up a thriving business on the subject and anything concrete that could sink their boat is something not to put up with. This is a subject that most people don’t care about but to those who do, it is a real bell-ringer. All of this hinges on whether or not the present owner got these legally. If our people can’t prove he didn’t, it looks like fun and games in the History department!

It’s always nice to be right, isn’t it? I thought I was wrong on once but I found out later I was mistaken. What am I talking about? Osama bin Ladin. I have published, at least three time over the past two and one half years that bin Laden was dead. I have had my hand a report from the CIA to the NSC stating categorically that bin Laden died in a Pakistani hospital of kidney failure in September of 2003. The Pakistani government informed the Department of State and the CIA informed the NSC at about the same time. We never heard about this in our free and unfettered media because the Cheney people didn’t want us to. Why is this? Because it gave them a wonderful opportunity to get the CIA, in their Texas facility, the chance to produce more “bin Laden tapes” with which to terrify the voting public at opportune times, such as just before an important election or when Bush’s approval ratings dipped below twenty.

However, militant Islamist groups in the Pakistani government are giving some thought to discrediting their current leader and taking control of that country and its known atomic weaponry. Part of this activity is to discredit the United States by showing that bin Laden was dead while the U.S. was faking anti-Muslim scare tapes. Knowing this was about to erupt, suddenly our people allowed rumors to start that, yes, bin Laden was dead but only just recently and not from kidney failure but typhoid! And why just now? Because if they admitted the truth; that the long-dead bin-Laden was making propaganda tapes from the grave, voters in November might just begin to wonder who was making them and why the CIA always rushed forward to breathlessly inform us that their superior technology had clearly proved them to be genuine. Add this nonsense to the ‘liquid bomb’ farce and we still haven’t moved Bush’s ratings up. Cheney is about 8% approval and Bush around 27-35% and in this, we can see a hopeful augury for massive death and destruction at the mid-term elections. Actually, all of them should be thrown out of office and we can start with fresh blood. It would take at least a decade before the new ones would be as corrupt, self-serving and useless as the present hog pen but during this time, hopefully things will get better.

September 22, 2006

There are the real public opinion polls and then there the Official public opinion polls. The former are very accurate and we do them almost daily. The latter are made up with White House admonishings strongly in mind. These admonitions? Play it our way…or else we get our supporters to cut off your fucking advertising, punk! This means that when Bush has had a real 35% approval rating for the last six months, the national polls suddenly speak about “bounces” and rising points. Forget this. Bush is in a slow, steady decline and hovers around the mid-thirties. Even rigged incidents like the laughable “liquid bombs” the Brits concocted some time back didn’t raise the President’s approval by so much as one half a point so they told the media to knock it off. Now, if this silly shit had caused him to gain ever one point, we would see the story plastered all over the front pages for at least three weeks, forcing out the propaganda about Iran.

We here know that the Administration, ever friendly to the oil people, have asked the latter to lower the price of gas at the pump until after the November elections. Note how his friends were eager to help George out. After all, it was soaring gas prices that did Jimmy Carter in.

Don’t believe the polls, ever because they are easy to fake. Remember when Reagan was running against Carter? Do you remember the ludicrous claims that Carter was always “surging ahead?/” All lies, I can assure you, having been involved in working this racket before joining the staff of the President. Now, when you read about Bush being at 45% with maybe a bounce, forget it. George and his boys are at the end of their stick and I doubt if there will be any surprises in November.

And Bush is still frantically trying to get some kind of legislation in place so he and his crime partners can escape future prosecution for what are genuine war crimes. If George were a gentleman instead of a punk, he would take his Daddy’s issue .45 and swallow it and then we can all get back to normal living.

September 19, 2006

I recall some time back, when a light plane strayed into the “Forbidden Zone” around the White House, a panic evacuation of the staff was hilarious to watch. All kinds of panting chubbies, clutching pictures of Mom or their favorite plant, waddled away from the supposedly doomed Monkey Palace, tongues out, eyes bulging with fright. Now, everything is reversed. Now the fear-crazed ones are rushing into the White House, babbling with animal fear. A stray plane? No, the perception (rarely spoken of before) that the GOP will for sure lose the House and very probably the Senate in November has raised the equal probability that if the Democrats are successful, many now looting and shoving baskets full of bribe money into their car trunks will end up disgraced and poverty stricken. But Our Beloved Leader, George Bush is in an actual state of acute fear that he might be impeached (likely) and, even more frightening, hauled before the World Court as a war criminal! Joy to contemplate!

But George will not be alone. From someone in the French Embassy, I learn that “certain current American supporters” are actually plotting to commit blasphemy and make Bush and his vicious and lunatic cronies pay the price. I was told, partially in jest, that if the IDF dared to invade Lebanon again with French “peacekeepers” in place, they are under orders to return fire and blast the IDF into small pieces. Note that the French have a competent air force and Israel would then get back in spades what they did to the innocent Lebanese civilians. My French friend said, over lunch, that it was fine for Israel to slaughter Arab children and old people in Palestine and Gaza but when they encounter real men, they run away, whimpering. Egypt is being pressured by the Muslim Brotherhood to abrogate their treaty with Israel and join the other Arab states. Hezbollah has, in only a few weeks, proved the IDF to be a paper tiger and paper burns brightly. (See Blake on this)

September 16, 2006

We all knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I am referring to the so-called “revolt” in Congress wherein powerful Republicans repudiated, officially, Bush’s attempt to do away with America’s support of the Geneva Convention. The funny part of this is the President’s reaction. He was livid with rage, ranted at various Republican legislators, threatened them with retaliation and in general, used language more appropriate to a whore house dispute over the price of a lay. A friend was there and taped most of the screaming tirade. It genuinely shocked the legislators and after Bush had gone away, their comments were priceless to hear. One of the Senators, normally a gentleman, called Bush a ‘motherfucker’ and another Senator, a “loyal supporter,” said, “You shouldn’t say that. You know he’s been trying to quit!” Roars of laughter. No friends there!

Back in the White House, at least a dozen of my co-workers have been talking about Bush’s unhinged rantings. Some of the staff are going to quit over this and it is obvious that he has finally gone around the bend. I heard none of this but I did see him for a moment and his face was a mask of loonie rage, mottled, contorted and looking like a Japanese kabuki mask. Bush is a man filled with hate. This is something often found in closet gays who suffer from constant fear of exposure mixed with intense self-hated. Nixon was strongly suspected of having had an affair with Bebe Reboza but Bush is known for his hidden pranks. More on this later, plus a transcription of the confrontation.

September 12, 2006

I am going to take some time off writing about the Celestial Pig Farm at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to discuss the activities of a good friend of mine that some of you will find as inspiring and joy-inspiring as I and my friends have.

This good friend of mine was second in line to run a very wealthy family trust fund. His uncle, who ran it for years, was an arch Republican, called “Black Stocking GOP,” who was a firm supporter of Israel, a heavy contributor to the Bush people, a great and abiding supporter of the CIA (whom he let use an overseas company he owned) and other, entirely predictable attitudes.

Several weeks ago, the uncle died and my friend now heads the family trust. The first thing he did was to divest the fund of any business connections with Israel. When his brokerage house demurred, claiming objections from the Department of State, he told them, “I am not asking you to do this, I am ordering you to do this.” When they still babbled about problems, he promptly fired them. And dumped the Israeli electronic stocks en bloc and at the market.

He notified the advertising agency his trust used and forbade them to advertise in any paper or on any television entity that supported Bush, the State of Israel , the Iraqi war or even Bush-loving Joe Lieberman. with the warning that if they disobeyed him, they would go the way of the brokerage house.

They obeyed.

Also, his uncle was a massive contributor to the Republican Party. Uncle had pledged millions for the upcoming election. My friend then notified the GOP that he refused to honor any of his late uncle’s pledges and further notified both parties that any of their members who had voted for the Iraqi war were also cut adrift.

He moved to shut down the CIA-friendly overseas company, sacking all the employees en masse and confiscating all the personnel records and, more important, all their banking records.

Since he owned the company, he plans to make these financial records public.

On the Internet!

To say there has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth would be an understatement. From what I know about the matter, the placing of his company’s bank records on the Internet will, without a doubt, cause terminal spastic colon in some circles.

By now, the late uncle is certainly spinning in his grave. When I mentioned this to my friend, he replied that the next time he visited the cemetery, he would see if the ground was still undulating when he pissed on the turf.

All is well, my friend says, that ends well.

September 7, 2006

With the frightening November mid term elections coming upon us, there has been a growing panic in senior, and junior, Republicans, both inside and outside of Congress. A probably loss of the House and a very possible loss of the Senate is stirring up panic. Why? Because there is no doubt that if the Democrats gain control of the House, there will be impeachment articles drawn up with Bush as their target and very probably serious investigations launched by them into certain senior Republicans for, among other matters, massive corruptions and bribery. There have been hinted at ‘October surprises’ which may or may not happen or, if they do, have any success. One of Cheney’s aides and I have become on good terms because I have connections outside of the White House he could make use of in the event of a major defeat. Cheney is a genuinely evil man who is primarily responsible for our present situation. We have lost face throughout the world, especially the Muslim world, but also throughout Asia and parts of Central and South America due to his vicious policies. Rumsfeld is rapidly becoming a cipher, due in part to his current illness and the very obvious fact that he is, to be nice, a very “confused man.” (Read pre-Alzheimer’s here). The military hate him with a passion because he treats all of them, top generals and all, like scum. Someone, and my new friend doesn’t know who, has suggested an interesting ploy to bolster Bush’s collapsing image (Cheney’s approval rating is now in single digits.)

The basic plan, as being formulated involving Bush, Cheney, Mehlman, Rove and some senior staff to include the new head of the CIA, General Hayden, is to have a splendid publicity coup that they feel would guarantee continued Republican control of both houses.

The idea, and I will admit it is awesome in its simplicity, is for the Administration to bribe the warring factions in Iraq to have a long truce during the course of which they will slow down or entirely stop their attacks on our military and each other.! This weird plan is indeed being “considered” but the chances of it ever seeing the light of day are absolutely zero. The Arabs would gleefully take out money…and then turn on us. The military would flatly agree to have anything to do with this and for certain, some minor player would go to the press.

Another plan is for Bush to tell the voting public how successful he and his grossly incompetent people have repeatedly saved, and will continue to save, their blessed Americans from numerous “terrorist attacks.’ There have not and are completely incapable of doing so. There is not one verifiable attack on record as either having been uncovered by the demoralized and depleted CIA or the utterly useless DHS. It is well-known all over Washington that the Bush people have paid ABC for a mini-series blaming Clinton for 911 while ignoring their own really serious role in it.

In law, there are two kinds of evidence: direct and circumstantial. A case of the former is an old lady, having been primed by the police stating that that person sitting over there was the man I saw shooting the nice policeman. The second type is for the pistol used to shoot the policeman being registered to the suspect, dozens of witnesses attesting to his intentions, bus tickets placing him at the scene and the fact that the slain officer had previously raped the man’s ten year old daughter. Any attorney with courtroom experience will tell you that circumstantial evidence trumps direct evidence every time.

That being the case, I can tell you that all the circumstantial evidence on pre-knowledge of the 9/11 attack very clearly points to the fact that George W. Bush, his top people, to include, Vice President Cheney, Attorney General John Ashcroft, top advisor Karl Rove, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and very probably a number of other senior government persons had been well and very timely informed of the attack, when it would happen, where it would happen and how it would happen. That they did and said nothing but awaited the attack for the many political opportunities it would afford the President and the leadership makes all of them willing parties to murder. At law, this is called being an accessory before the fact.

Now, lest my readers believe that I am relying on wishful thinking or some nonsensical blog, I will supply as my brief, a long and thoroughly referenced listing addressing the issue of who knew what and when.

My suggestion is that one should read it and make up their own mind. We do not need the army of liars working for Bush or the ABC whitewash to think for us.


The Circumstantial Evidence

The 1993 World Trade Center bombing resulted in intelligence that indicated that Al Qaeda had planned the attack and was planning further attacks on bridges and tunnels in New York City.

1993: An expert panel commissioned by the Pentagon raises the possibility that an airplane could be used to bomb national landmarks. [Washington Post 10/2/01]

In 1995, an Al Qaeda group headed by one Ramzi Youssef, was planning to seize and blow up 12 commercial aircraft over the Pacific. One Abdul Hakim Murad, a co-conspirator of Youssef, admitted to U.S. authorities that he had been trained at American flight schools and had been involved in a plot to crash a commercial aircraft into the CIA headquarters at Langley, Virginia.

1998: U.S. investigators discover that Al Qaeda personnel involved in the Embassy bombings in Africa are part of a larger plan involving the training of terrorist members at American flight schools for attacks on American targets.

1998: The CIA ignore warnings from Case Officer Robert Baer, that Saudi Arabia is harboring an Al Qaeda cell led by two known terrorists. A more detailed list of known terrorists is offered to Saudi intelligence in August 2001 and refused. [Financial Times, January 12, 2001]

1998: An Oklahoma City FBI agent sends a memo warning that "large numbers of Middle Eastern males" are getting flight training and could be planning terrorist attacks. [CBS, 5/30/02] A separate CIA intelligence report asserts that Arab terrorists are planning to fly a bomb-laden aircraft into the WTC. [New York Times, 9/19/02; Senate Intelligence Committee, Witness Hill, 9/18/02]

December 1998: A Time magazine cover story entitled "The Hunt for Osama," reports that bin Laden may be planning his boldest move yet -- a strike on Washington or possibly New York City. [Time magazine, 12/21/98]

1999: It is learned that Al Qaeda personnel were plotting to blow up the Los Angeles International airport and selected targets in Jordan. Following the trial of an Al Qaeda man, Ahmen Ressam who was caught smuggling explosives into the United States, the FAA issues an official warning that Al Qaeda is expected to conduct explosive outrages against commercial aircraft or American airports.

Following this emerged a number of actual Al Qaeda threats against targets in the United States, often involving aircraft and aircraft facilities.

In the period just prior to the September 11 aircraft attack on American targets, numerous specific reports were delivered from what can only be termed entirely reliable foreign sources (as distinct from domestic intelligence reporting).

September 1999: A U.S. intelligence report states bin Laden and Al Qaeda terrorists could crash an aircraft into the Pentagon. The Bush administration claims not to have heard of this report until May 2002, although it was widely shared within the government. [CNN, 5/18/02, Associated Press, 5/18/01; Guardian, 5/19/02]

1999: MI6, the British foreign intelligence agency delivers a secret report to the London U.S. Embassy stating that Al Qaeda plans to use commercial aircraft "possibly as flying bombs." [Sunday Times, 6/9/02]

[Source Military District of Washington News Service, 11/3/00] The White House later asserts that no one in government had envisioned a suicide hijacking. [Associated Press report, May 18, 2002]

January, 2001: The Bush Administration orders the FBI and intelligence agencies to "back off" investigations involving the bin Laden family, including two of Osama bin Laden's relatives (Abdullah and Omar) who were living in Falls Church, VA -- right next to CIA headquarters. This followed previous orders dating back to 1996, frustrating efforts to investigate the bin Laden family. [BBC “Newsnight,” Correspondent Gregg Palast, Nov 7, 2001]

Feb 13, 2001: UPI Terrorism Correspondent Richard Sale -- while covering a trial of bin Laden's al Qaeda followers -- reports that the National Security Agency has broken bin Laden's encrypted communications. Even if this indicates that bin Laden changed systems in February, it does not mesh with the fact that the government insists that the attacks had been planned for years.

May 2001: The U.S. introduces the "Visa Express" program allowing any Saudi Arabian to obtain visas through their travel agent instead of appearing at a consulate in person. Three to five hijackers use Visa Express over the next month to enter the U.S. [US News & World Report, 12/12/01, Congressional Intelligence Committee, 9/20/02, Witness Hill]

June 2001: German intelligence, the BND, warns the CIA and Israel that Middle Eastern terrorists are "planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture." [Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, September 14, 2001]

June 26, 2001: The CIA informs the White House that they had intercepted foreign intelligence traffic concerning possible Al Qaeda strikes in America on July 4.

Summer 2001: Russian intelligence notifies the CIA that 25 terrorist pilots have been specifically training for suicide missions.

June 22, 2001: The military's Central and European Commands impose "Force Protection Condition Delta," the highest anti-terrorist alert.

June 28, 2001: National security advisor Condoleeza Rice states: "It is highly likely that a significant Al Qaeda, attack is in the near future, within several weeks."

July 1, 2001: Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee states that her staff had advised her of a “major probability of a terrorist incident within the next three months.” [Emphasis added]

July 2, 2001: The FBI reports to the White House that Al Qaeda terrorist attacks outside the United States are very possible and that domestic attacks could not be discounted.

July 5, 2001: The CIA informs President Bush that Al Qaeda attacks against American targets are entirely possible during the summer of that year.

July 5, 2001: The government's top counter-terrorism official, Richard Clarke states to a group gathered at the White House: "Something really spectacular is going to happen here, and it's going to happen soon." The group included the FAA, the Coast Guard, the FBI, the Secret Service, and the INS. Clarke directs every counter-terrorist office to cancel vacations, defer non-vital travel, put off scheduled exercises and place domestic rapid response teams on much shorter alert.

July 10, 2001: A Phoenix FBI agent sends a memorandum warning about Middle Eastern men taking flight lessons. He suspects bin Laden's followers and recommends a national program to check visas of suspicious flight-school students. The memo is sent to two FBI counter-terrorism offices, but no action is taken. [New York Times, 5/21/02] Vice President Cheney says in May 2002 that he opposes releasing the memo to congressional leaders or to the media and public. [CNN, 5/20/02]

July 26, 2001: Attorney General Ashcroft stops flying commercial airlines due to a threat assessment. [CBS, 7/26/01] He later walks out of his office rather than answer questions about this. [Associated Press, 5/16/02]

July 3l, 2001: The FAA urges U.S. airlines to maintain a "high degree of alertness."

Late July 2001: The U.S. and UN ignore warnings from the Taliban foreign minister that bin Laden is planning an imminent huge attack on US soil. The FBI and CIA also fail to take seriously, warnings that Islamic fundamentalists have enrolled in flight schools across the U.S. [Independent, 9/7/02]

Late summer 2001: Jordanian intelligence agents go to Washington to warn that a major attack is planned inside the U.S. and that aircraft will be used. Christian Science Monitor calls the story "confidently authenticated" even though Jordan later backs away from it. [Christian Science Monitor, 5/23/02]

August 6, 2001: The CIA also presents a warning to the President, explicitly concerned with terrorism inside the United States, indicating that bin Laden might be planning to hijack commercial airliners. Actual content of this message has been the subject of considerable debate, with White House officials understandably downplaying its significance. [Time magazine, May 16, 2002; New York Times, May 16, 2002]

August 15, 2001: An alert civilian instructor at a Minnesota flight school calls the FBI: "Do you realize that a 747 loaded with fuel can be a bomb?" The next day, Zacarias Moussaoui was arrested. After investigating Zacarias Moussaoui's past, the FBI (with the help of French Intelligence) learns that he had Islamic extremist connections. They also knew he was interested in flight patterns around New York City, and that he had a strong desire to fly big jets, even though at the time he didn't have a license for flying even a Cessna.

August 20, 2001: The French government strongly informs high level American authorities about pending attacks on American targets, using commercial aircraft.

August 8-23, 2001: Two high ranking Israeli Mossad agents come to Washington to warn the FBI and CIA that up to 200 terrorists have slipped into the U.S. and are planning an imminent major assault in the U.S. Indications point to a highly visible target. [Telegraph, 9/16/01; Los Angeles Times, 9/16/01; “Fox News,” 5/17/02] The Mossad gives the CIA a list of terrorists.

August 24, 2001: Frustrated with lack of response from FBI headquarters about detained suspect Moussaoui, the Minnesota FBI begins working with the CIA. The CIA sends alerts calling him a "suspect 747 airline suicide hijacker." Three days later an FBI Minnesota supervisor says he is trying keep Moussaoui from “taking control of a plane and fly it into the WTC." [Senate Intelligence (Hill #2), 10/17/02] FBI headquarters chastises Minnesota FBI for notifying the CIA. [Time magazine, 5/21/02]

August 2001: Britain gives the U.S. another warning about an Al Qaeda attack. The previous warning was vague. This one specifies imminent multiple airplane hijackings by Al Qaeda. [Sunday Herald, May 19, 2002]

Late August, 2001: The CIA asks the INS to put (these two of the hijackers) Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf Alhazmi on a watch list because of their ties to the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole. On August 23, 2001, the INS informed the CIA that both Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf Alhazmi had already slipped into the country. Immediately thereafter, the CIA asked the FBI to find al-Midhar and Alhazmi. This should not have been difficult, since one of them was listed in the San Diego phone book, and the other took out a bank account in his own name; also, an FBI informant happened to be their roommate.

September 10, 2001: NSA intercepts two messages in Arabic.

Other news outlets, including the Washington Post, also reported on the intercepts. [New York Times, August 10, 2002]

A particularly urgent warning was received the night before the attacks, causing some top Pentagon brass to suddenly cancel travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of “sudden security concerns.” [Newsweek, 9/12/2001] “Why that same information was not available to the 266 people who died aboard the four hijacked commercial aircraft may become a hot topic on the Hill." [Newsweek, 9/13/2001]

September 11, 2001: For 35 minutes, from 8:15 AM until 9:05 AM, although widely known within the FAA and the military that four planes have been simultaneously hijacked and taken off course, no one notifies the President of the United States. It is not until 9:30 AM that any Air Force planes are scrambled to intercept, but by then it is too late. This means the National Command Authority waited for 75 minutes before scrambling aircraft, even though it was known that four simultaneous hijackings had occurred -- an event that has never happened in history. [CNN; ABC; MS-NBC; Los Angeles Times; New York Times]

Department of Defense (6/1/01) and FAA (7/12/01) procedure: In the event of a hijacking, the FAA hijack coordinator on duty at Washington headquarters requests the military to provide escort aircraft. Normally, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) escort aircraft take the required action. The FAA notifies the National Military Command Center by the most expeditious means. [DoD, 6/1/01; FAA, 7/12/01; FAA, 7/12/01] If NORAD hears of any difficulties in the skies, they begin the work to scramble jet fighters [take off and intercept aircraft that are off course]. Between September 2000 and June 2001 fighters were scrambled 67 times. [AP, 8/12/02] When the Lear jet of golfer Payne Stewart didn’t respond in 1999, F-16 interceptors were quickly dispatched. According to an Air Force timeline, a series of military planes provided an emergency escort to Payne’s stricken Lear about 20 minutes after ground controllers lost contact with his plane.[Dallas Morning News, 10/26/99]

September 11, 2001:

8:20 AM (approx.): Air traffic controllers suspect Flight 11 has been hijacked. [New York Times, 9/15/01]

8:40 AM: NORAD is notified of hijacking. [New York Times, 10/16/01; Washington Post, 9/15/01]

8:46 AM: Flight 11 crashes into the World Trade Center north tower (approximately 26 minutes after controllers lost contact). [New York Times, 9/12/01]

8:46 AM: Bush later states, "I was sitting outside the classroom and I saw an airplane hit the tower. The TV was on.” [CNN 12/4/01] “When we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building.” [White House, 1/5/02]

8:52 AM: Two F-15s take off from Otis Air Force Base. [Washington Post, 9/15/01] They go after Flight 175. Major General Paul Weaver, director of the Air National Guard, states "the pilots flew like a scalded ape, topping 500 mph but were unable to catch up to the airliner. We had a nine-minute window, and in excess of 100 miles to intercept 175. There was just literally no way.'' [Dallas Morning News, 9/15/01] F-15's fly at up to 2.5 times the speed of sound (1875 mph or 30+ miles a minute or 270+ miles in nine minutes) and are designed for low-altitude, high-speed, precision attacks. [BBC]

8:56 AM: By this time, it is evident that Flight 77 is lost. The FAA, already in contact with the Pentagon about the two hijackings out of Boston, reportedly doesn’t notify NORAD of this until 9:24, 28 minutes later. [New York Times, 10/16/01]

9:03 AM: Flight 175 crashes into the south WTC tower (23 minutes after NORAD notified, 43 minutes after air traffic control lost contact with pilots). [New York Times, 9/12/01, CNN, 9/12/01]

September 13-19, 2001: Members of bin Laden's family are driven or flown under FBI supervision to a secret assembly point in Texas and then to Washington, where they leave the country on a private charter plane when airports reopen three days after the attacks. [New York Times, September 30, 2001]

In all of the speculations concerning pre-knowledge of this attack, one concept stands out above all the denials and accusations:

How could an obviously sophisticated terrorist plan involving perhaps as many as 50 identified persons and in training for at least two years, possibly escape the notice of our intelligence services, especially the CIA or the NSA? When one considers the number of people involved in this plot, the wide-spread geographical locations of the plotters, the fact that most of them used a telephone system long known to be thoroughly and completely compromised by the US NSA, for international calls, and that large amounts of cash were transferred from foreign banks to American accounts, the idea that none of the American intelligence and counter-intelligence agencies had the slightest warning of impending disaster, is completely impossible to believe.

This will be a scrap bag of commentary this week. I had a medical check up at the U.S. Navy facility at Bethesda recently and my doctor was discussing Bush. He does not like him at all but, I stress, he is not Bush’s doctor. It is the general belief that Bush is probably suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder. He told me about this (you can check it out on Google) and listed some of the symptoms some of his colleagues (who have actually had contact with the President) noted. The symptoms are:

1. frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.

2. a pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation

3. identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self

4. impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating).

5. recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior

6. affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)

7. chronic feelings of emptiness

8. inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)

9. transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.

I am not now a medical person and make no claims to being one but much of this hits the nail right on the head. Make of it what you want.

Bush has run head on into the persona of General John Abizaid. The General is very competent in Middle East affairs and has run right up against Bush in public. Bush said there was no civil war in Iraq and the next day, the General flatly contradicted him. Abizaid, who is Lebanese and speaks the language, has stated that we need to win over the Arabs like Hezbollah does by taking care of the civil population and not just slaughtering them. Bush does not like the General and says unkind things about him…behind his back. The top military people, mostly Army and USMC brass, detest Bush and if he continues to ignore them while insulting them, he is in for serious problems. Note that Rumsfeld, whom the professionals hate as a stupid and pompous ass, ordered two armored units to be transferred from Germany to Iraq…and was promptly ignored. The units never left Germany and Rumsfeld has kept this insubordination very quiet. The Bush people have lost their power to frighten, both on the domestic and foreign fronts and that does not bode well for the next two years. When you have a highly irate, nasty President screeching at a public press conference that he will never leave Iraq as long as he is in office, this is a sign of severe psychological problems. There is not even an attempt at diplomacy, only a shrill child screaming child determined to have his way.

We have had a number of incompetent Presidents but beyond any doubt, George W. Bush is the worst. Aside from his compulsive, and easily exposed lies, let us consider Bush’s failures of his global war plans. Note: Portions of this material have previously been published on the Internet and in the foreign press but rarely addressed in the captive American media.

Five years after Bush ordered Afghanistan invaded and, true to form, smugly announced a complete U.S. military victory, US, and a very small number of ‘Allies” allied forces are struggling on a daily basis to defend their bases and supply lines against rising attacks from a growing number of Afghan resistance groups. The war in both Iraq and Afghanistan costs the American taxpayer $1.5 billion monthly. As an added bonus, US-ruled Afghan now produces over 80% of the world’s heroin. The US just quietly deployed thousands more troops to Afghanistan to hunt al-Qaida leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in a desperate attempt to save Republicans from heavy losses in November mid-term elections.

Remember Fat Karl Rove’s grotesque "Mission accomplished!" in Iraq? President Bush’s war in Iraq is clearly lost, but few dare admit it. The US has spent over $300 billion in taxpayer’s money on Afghanistan and Iraq, with nothing to show in either theater but chaos, civil war, body bags, and growing Iranian influence in Iraq and western Afghanistan. The Bush/Cheney "liberation" of Iraq has now cost more than the Vietnam War. So much for the "cakewalk." Iraq is likely the biggest American foreign policy disaster in living memory – even worse, in many ways, than Vietnam.

Down in the strategic Horn of Africa, another dangerous fiasco is unfolding. The White House had CIA and Pentagon have spent tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer’s money bribing Somali warlords to fight Islamist reformers trying to bring law and order to their strife-ravaged nation. The Islamists whipped CIA-backed warlords and ran them out of Somalia. Following this defeat, the US has encouraged and financed ally Ethiopia – shades of Lebanon – to invade Somalia, thus raising the threat of a wider war between Somalia, Ethiopia, and its old foe, Eritrea. Meanwhile, growing numbers of US Special Forces and CIA teams are getting drawn into obscure tribal mêlées in the Horn of Africa and the Saharan regions.

Lebanon is, of course, the fourth major American military disaster. Bush and Cheney encouraged Israel to launch the hugely destructive but militarily fruitless war in Lebanon as the first part of their long-nurtured plan to militarily crush Hezbullah, Syria and Iran. The Bush Administration brazenly thwarted world efforts to halt the conflict while giving Israel the green light to tear apart Lebanon. Now, just over a month later, Bush announces he will send $230 million to "help rebuild" Lebanon – the same Lebanon blasted apart by US smart bombs rushed by air to Israel by a sycophantic Bush. That the UN has condemned the use of these bombs is, of course, of no interest to either Bush or his opposite numbers in Israel

To Washington and Tel Avis’s, horror, Iran, and Syria emerged the war’s victors. Hezbollah is now the Muslim World’s new hero after battling Israel’s mighty armed forces to a humiliating draw. Even Syria’s President Bashar Asad, who played dead during the Lebanon War in fear of an Israeli attack, is now thumping his chest and crowing that Syria played a major role in the unexpected Arab victory.

Hezbollah’s triumph thwarted, at least for the moment, Bush/Cheney plans to attack Lebanon, Syria and Iran. The US and Israel have become so used to smashing nearly helpless foes armed with obsolete weapons – like Iraq, Taliban, or Palestine – that they were stunned to meet a force that had modern arms and could actually fight.

No sooner had bombing stopped than Hezbullah bulldozers were busy clearing rubble, and Hezbullah social workers resettling refugees. Perhaps President Bush should ask Hezbullah to take over rebuilding New Orleans and resettling all its refugees.

Israelis have now turned from fighting Arabs to furious finger-pointing. Politicians and generals are blaming each other for the Lebanon debacle that killed over eleven hundred 118 Israeli soldiers and 41 civilians, cost at least $6 billion, ruined the summer tourist trade, and, after a burst of initial sympathy, brought worldwide condemnation. And no captured soldiers – this war’s supposed objective – have been yet returned.

By turning a routine border skirmish into a big war, Israel’s PM Ehud Olmert showed he had no more grasp of military affairs than those other amateur warlords, Bush, Cheney and Tony Blair. Lebanon also showed that the western leaders learned nothing from their debacle in Iraq.

Now, some Washington hawks are wondering if invading Iran may not be the "cakewalk" that pro-Israel neoconservatives blithely promised. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards helped train and arm Hezbullah’s victorious fighters. Suddenly, neither the Israelis nor the Americans look so invincible. As Napoleon said, in war, the moral is to the physical as three to one.

America was the big loser in the Lebanon war. From Morocco to Indonesia, each night 1.5 billion Muslims watched the carnage in Lebanon on TV and blamed America. Even the poorest shepherd in Uzbekistan heard the US was airlifting the precision bombs and deadly cluster munitions to Israel used against Lebanese civilians.

Any hope of damping down the Islamic World’s surging hatred of the US, Britain, Australia and Israel (now add Canada) was killed in Lebanon. Even the interestingly-timed airport hysteria in London over alleged bomb plots failed to divert attention from the latest US-British Mideast policy disaster.

Yet the White House still keeps listening to absurd military advice from the same fanatically pro-Israel neoconservatives thirsting for conquest, oil and Muslim blood. Undaunted even by the fiasco in Lebanon, the Bush/Cheney White House is now heading into a full-blown crisis with Iran over its nuclear enrichment program.

As far as the civilian, domestic disasters, one need only mention the hurricane Katrina that clearly showed a total lack of interest (except for pro-Bush businessmen who reaped rich rewards) in the fate of poor New Orleans blacks. And of course we have the constant hyping of the fear factor to keep the electorate in line and supportive of the Republican’s murderous and short-sighed policies.
