~~~~Fanning the flames of impeachment

By Bev Conover

June 21, 2005—With the Downing Street Minutes that unmask his lies,
with his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq lost, with his poll numbers
tumbling, with Republicans jumping ship, with the economy tanking and
with parents shielding their children from his military recruiters,
why is George W. Bush still smiling, swaggering and acting like the
dictator he hopes to become?

The friction from the grinding wheels of unintended consequences have
lit a fire, the flames of which need to be fanned until they consume
Bush, his whole administration, and the worthless whores and pimps in
Congress.

But neither the flames nor the smoke in the reality-based community
have yet gotten through to Bushworld, where reality is whatever he
and his necons says it is. Bush's delusional thinking allows him to
believe that the Planning Scenarios dreamt up by the Homeland
Security Council, coupled with making permanent, and adding to, the
dreadful Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, better known
as the USA PATRIOT Act, will provide him with all the tools and
protections he needs against dissidents (terrorists in his parlance)
foreign and domestic.

In his article, Orwellian "Scenarios": Emergency Preparedness Against
the "Universal Adversary", Michel Chossudovsky brilliantly lays out
how the Planning Scenarios call for labeling all who oppose the
Bushistas as "Universal Adversaries" and using every apparatus of the
federal, state and local governments in dealing with "foreign
terrorists," "domestic radical groups," "state sponsored adversaries"
and "disgruntled employees."

Then there is the latest attempt to repeal the 22nd Amendment, which
limits a president to two terms in office. If the bill, H.J. Res. 24—
sponsored by Congressman Steny D. Hoyer (D-Md.) and co-sponsored by
Congressmen Howard L. Berman (D-Cal.), Frank Pallone, Jr., (D-NJ),
Martin Olav Sabo (D-Minn.) and F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wisc.)—
gets a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress this time and is
ratified by three-quarters of the states before the 2008 election,
George W. Bush can be president for life.

Shoot, he's stolen two presidential elections and with a majority of
voting machines now controlled by his corporate friends and
supporters, why not go for the third and final time?

That's less embarrassing—if a Bush is ever embarrassed by anything—
than pulling a Papa Doc or Baby Doc Duvalier and just up and
declaring himself "president for life." Of course, if the amendment
fails, he could go that route.

With these thoughts dancing in Bush's nearly empty skull, you can see
why he is still smiling. In Bushworld, war can be declared on any
nation at any time for any reason or no reason and "Universal
Adversaries" can be disappeared into gulags, tortured and killed.

There is no punishment for the inhabitants of Bushworld: not for
stealing elections; not for the attacks they perpetrated on September
11, 2001; not for waging illegal wars on Afghanistan and Iraq; not
for torture, murder, destruction of other people's countries and
heritage; not for stealing other people's wealth and resources; not
for squandering their own nation's wealth or depriving Americans of
their freedoms.

In the reality-based community, however, the wheels of unintended
consequences have not only started a fire, as the American people
awaken from the corporate media induced slumber, but, once in motion,
the wheels can't be stopped.Bush can ignore the Downing Street
Minutes, and corporate media harpies, such as Dana Milbank, can make
fun of hearings such as the one Rep. John Conyers conducted last
Thursday, but the American people are beginning to realize how they
were snookered into an illegal war on Iraq and the word impeachment
grows louder by the day from every corner of the land: Impeach Bush,
Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Gonzales!

George W. can go on the radio every Saturday, as he did this past
one, and falsely tie 9/11 to Iraq, but only his deluded diehard
supporters will believe him. Condoleezza Rice can continue to utter
the lie, as she did on Fox News Sunday, that her boss's
administration said before the criminal invasion of Iraq "that this
is a generational commitment," but the people haven't forgotten that
Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld said it would be a cakewalk and the
Iraqis would greet the invaders with hugs and flowers.

Watergate, too, started off with a little smoke about a "third-rate
burglary," which was brushed off by most of the news media at a time
when not all the major media were yet in the hands of a few
corporations. Then came a small flame when it was revealed the
burglars had long-standing ties to the CIA.

The flame wasn't big enough to deprive Richard Nixon of reelection,
but it continued to grow, forcing him to stand before the American
people and disingenuously declare, "Your president is not a crook."
Ah, but he was worse than a crook, which we will get to in a minute.

Despite what was later written in Bob Woodward and Carl
Bernstein's "All the President's Men," about Nixon taking to the
bottle, as the flames grew higher and higher; wandering the corridors
of the White House at night, talking to portraits of dead presidents;
forcing the criminal, Henry Kissinger, to get down on his knees with
him to pray in the Oval Office, Nixon still had a sense of self-
preservation and listened to his advisors and the members of Congress
who told him to resign before a Bill of Impeachment was passed. It
would be surprising if Bush and his gang did likewise.

For those who believe Nixon was the victim of a bloodless coup
d'état, perhaps he was.

For Watergate and the cover-up were not his biggest crimes. His
biggest crime was committed during his 1968 election campaign, when,
on the one hand, he was telling the American people he had a "secret
plan" to end the Vietnam War, while, on the other hand
at the urging of Kissenger, he illegally sent Anna Chenault to tell
South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu not to attend the peace
negotiations in Paris; that the US would give him a better deal.

Given the fact that Donald Graham, the late publisher of the
Washington Post, was CIA and his widow, Katherine, who became
publisher upon his death, was either CIA herself or just soft on the
agency, might explain why she allowed then cub reporters Woodward
(who also has CIA ties) and Bernstein to keep on the Watergate story
when newspapers, such as The New York Times, were dismissing it as a
non-story. And how helpful it was to have the aid of Mark Felt, who
claims he was Deep Throat; Felt who was a great admirer FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover and who, as number two man in the FBI, was the
boss of the illegal COINTELPRO operation.

Perhaps, in their minds, it was better to throw Nixon to the wolves
over Watergate than have the sordid mess come out about a
presidential candidate that had gotten away with disqualifying
himself for office by interfering in foreign policy and, thereby,
causing the deaths of thousands more American troops and Vietnamese.

With the Bush family's ties to the Washington Post, this time around
the Post seems bent on protecting George W. by either not reporting,
dismissing or making light of his crimes.

But the filth keeps leaking like pus from a gangrenous limb and all
the lies cannot stem the stench or stop the rot.

Yes, George W. may be smiling, when he's not snarling and acting like
king of the mountain, which is why we, in the reality-based
community, must keep fanning the flames of impeachment until they
consume him and all in his rotten administration.
