THE BURNING BUSH: GB 2
“Some of the biggest men in the US
and in commerce and manufacturing know that there is a power so
organized, so subtle, so complete, so pervasive that they had better
not speak above their breath when condemning it.”
-Woodrow Wilson
George W Bush:
This guy did more coke than Lenny
Bruce and got away with it. This guy served in the National Guard,
probably went AWOL, all while men of courage fought a fruitless war
in Vietnam. This guy got a DWI, and walked away without real penalty.
What follows is a brief family tree,
because it is important to know where we come from, whether we be
Presidents appointed by the Supreme Court or an actual man on the
street-
His family is establishment east
coast. He is not a Texan in any sense. Bush's grandfather made his
money trading with the Nazis among other things while working for
Brown Brothers Harriman. Bush One made his money in oil, and has been
implicated in Reagan's October surprise involving trading arms with
Iran for holding the hostages until after the election. Bush Uno
served as an ambassador to the Communist Chinese after America opened
China, and the results of some of his work can be seen in your latest
economic predictions projecting China's rise to economic hegemon over
the United States in short order, and your latest job loss numbers in
manufacturing and textiles, as well as whatever Chinese made
electronic device you last used which broke as soon as you opened the
package. Quality control in these factories must simply consist of
checking for worker's body parts on or in the finished product. Daddy
Bush also ran the CIA for about a year, helping it appear to keep its
proverbial nose clean after the Church Committee Hearings. It would
speculation to blame him for the involvement with Islamic Extremists
in Afghanistan, though it is clear the U.S. Was supporting various
factions there prior to the Soviet invasion with the goal of
destabilizing the Communist Kabul government in typical cold war
fashion. Some have also said that Bush 1 worked for the CIA long
before running it, but like all things properly secret, this cannot
be proven. GWB's father presided over the original Iraq war after
building up Saddam through the 80s. This war was properly commanded,
but it remains to be answered why the American diplomatic corps told
Saddam that we would not interfere if he invaded Kuwait, or why a
member of the Kuwaiti Royal Family was paraded into Congress to
spread false stories involving babies being thrown out of incubators
that the small Arab state did not have. This is the family tree of
the 43rd President, and represents his pedigree. George
Walker Bush was uneventful and rather normal, except that he chose
Yale as his party school instead of lets say LBJ going to Southwest
Texas. His fraternal choice, one picked by many in his income
bracket, was a society deep in black magic, satanic iconography, and
homoerotic hazing practices known as the Skull and Bones. The
'Skulls' by Anthony Sutton is a good account of its origins. If a
British Scholar is too conspiratorial for you, you can try the
Secrets of the Tomb. Needless to say, allegations of the future
anointed president involves cocaine, and large amounts of alcohol by
his own admission. His later career included running businesses into
the ground by running them as well as any future federal official
would and spending business funds like a sober congressman. The
election in 2000 was hotly contested, with the ultimate decision
going to the Supreme Court, where he was given the Presidency. It was
an uneventful start of his term, as uneventful a Presidency as was
his Governorship of Texas- that is until 9/11. On this day, three
thousand individuals were murdered by a shadowy network of Islamic
radicals who spent their time going to strip clubs, drinking and
buying round trip tickets for a kamikaze mission.
Dusting off existing pentagon plans
for overthrowing the Taliban, the United States military made short
work of that government. The culmination of the campaign was the
assault on Tora Bora. Using poorly trained militia as proxies, the
escape routes were not cut off, and it was said that bin Laden
slipped into Pakistan. Then something curious happened in regards to
the Taliban, the so-called Airlift of Evil. In short this was a
Pakistani airlift of these Taliban fighters out of Afghanistan, also
known as the Kunduz airlift, saw many escape the American assault.
The planes were chartered by Pakistan, and it is said, officially
sanctioned by Cheney who wished for Pakistan to have its way.
Musharraf, on his end, made dubious arguments regarding the act. In
some diabolical deal, the populations of both nations were sold out
by elected leaders who then turned about-face and in Hitler-style
proceeded to destroy their respective constitutions. One could
speculate that the public relations methods of both leaders were
similar. Since foreign policy was the main focus of the Bush Years,
more has to be said of this subject before moving on to just how Bush
destroyed the American constitution as if the American people were
some third world populace with a federal constabulary force occupying
it.
This action in Afghanistan was wrought
by problems from the beginning. A question to ask of this war would
be: Is this response proportional to the deaths inflicted by
terrorism?
The statistics are as follows:
1600 a year average casualties in 8
years of the Patterns of Global Terrorism study, most of these
non-American, with the big mac clearly coming in first as a weapon of
mass destruction ahead of Jihadis following a 7th century
'prophet's' dictums that many in the Islamic world have chosen to no
longer take literally. This against the numbers in the Lancet report,
and let us accept the official numbers for civilian death in
Afghanistan. This hovers at 17-21 thousand. Then factor in soldiers
deaths and the dislocation that this causes for the families at home,
and the psychological state of those returning from deployment from
the longest war in American history with the longest stretches of
continuous combat. Clearly, then, the reaction to terrorism is
entirely out of bounds of proportionality, and America would do
better to drop Joint Direct Attack Munitions on your food service
chain than it would brown people who more often than not are in the
wrong place at the wrong time. But Afghanistan was not the end.
Osama, free to escape into Pakistan, had failed to launch another
large attack. Iraq was next. Clearly, the intelligence failure
leading to the Iraq War could be excused as complete stupidity. This
conflict has been a great way for professional liars in the CIA to
continue collecting government salaries, and creeps in the NSA to
continue collecting the largest child pornography cache in the world
at tax payer expense. A sane society would ask itself if it would be
better off printing money onto toilet paper along with copies of the
Constitution onto baby-wipes, and the Declaration on paper towels for
use in Federal facilities; since the America Intelligence services
are the best funded in the world, and are supposed to have missed
both the coming of 9-11 and the Non-existence of the Iraqi Weapons of
Mass Destruction. The idea that Bush lied is simplistic. However, he
is a politician, so it should be assumed that when he engages in the
act of speech the contents of his language will be in direct variance
to objective truth at all times. The idea that it was all a big
mistake, the 2nd Big Mistake following the fact that 9/11
was not prevented, is also simplistic. But this much we know: the
Bush administration paid columnists to put out false stories slanting
the lead-up to the war to fit their view of what would happen. This
view would cost thousands of people their lives and trillions in
funds to wage the war. In hindsight, we know that Saddam was
interrogated by an FBI Agent and admitted that he had to create the
impression that he still had the weapons in order to deter the
Iranians from coming in his country, and creating the very
Shia-Crescent which now runs from Iran to Lebanon.
The invasion itself was simple and
quick, with Baghdad taken in short order. The second rate third world
army which had once been the 4th Largest in the world now
simply melted away, and whatever industry was left after a decade of
sanctions was devastated by the near invincible air force of the U.S.
The Saddam Statue came down, it seemed
in according to the near Sun Tzu like strategically sage advice given
by Dick Cheney. There is a problem with this iconic symbol of
victory: The toppling of the Saddam statue by members of the iraqi
expat community was staged under the direction of army psychological
operations. The occupation that was not supposed to be then ensued
with a requisite guerrilla war. What is clear is that low intensity
conflicts include a high amount of civilian deaths. This was
reflected in the Lancet Report, who estimated the ultimate death toll
in Iraq reaching the hundreds of thousands. Of course war is total,
and one could argue that the amount of deaths in this conflict was
far lower than those previously in sheer numbers if not percentage of
combatant to non-combatant. But really- it is hard not to have a
moral high ground when the historical antecedents are area bombing,
genocide, and nuclear assaults. The fact is that these people died as
a result of an invasion which was launched by the United States. The
war for oil raised oil prices, and ended with foreign companies
making the lion's share of profits.
But this was not the end of the wars
during these years. Iran was clearly next-it stirred the pot in Iraq,
funding Sadr to fight the Americans, and exporting radical clerics.
This led to the next cooperation between America and Sunni Salafist
Al-Qaeda elements. Not wanting to risk an all-out war, and perhaps
learning from its mistakes, or perhaps under the auspices of local
agents who kept their superiors in the dark for the purposes of
plausible deniability, a covert War against Iran began and the
funding of Al Qaeda in Khuzestan began in order to try to destabilize
the Iranian province richest in oil, and the very area in which
Saddam and Khomeni fought their most brutal battles.
So much for the foreign policy.
The best summary of the domestic
policy of George Bush junior is this: George W Bush was a socialist.
This is not surprising given the middle of the road policies of his
father, and his grandfathers support for the National Socialist
Workers Party even when the United States was at war with that
government.
The domestic agenda of George Bush
began with No Child Left Behind. This was a national mandate for
education. He then passed Medicare Part D, otherwise known as the
prescription drug benefit. These policies were both heavily
socialistic. His faith based initiatives simple provided Federal
Welfare funds to churches and expanded them. His tax cuts were well
known an controversial. The battle of the death tax was framed in a
way that most people assumed the tax effected the them when it only
affected the super rich. But clearly, he rolled back taxes while
skyrocketing the deficit.
Defecations on the Constitution became
a part of the Bush Years. First, random Muslims were rounded up
without due process in response to 9/11 following the PATRIOT Act.
This act was already on the shelf, and had been something that the
Federal Government was itching for. It was the exact type of
legislation sought after Oklahoma City and was not written after the
fact to respond to 9/11. The idea of 'free speech zones' became
common, with the first amendment being only a variable thing rather
than a natural right of free beings. Domestic spying, long practiced
by-proxy through ECHELON was instead directly practiced. The 4th
Amendment was destroyed, with many erroneously pointing out there was
no right laid out in the constitution for privacy, which clearly
ignores the whole point of the 4th Amendment and the
existence of the 9th Amendment. Posse Commitaus was
allowed to die on the vine, and the first stirrings of a North Com
were made, establishing a command for the continental US. Drones
began to be used for targeted killings abroad with late implications.
Homeland Security was established, along with a TSA to screen
passengers at airports. No change was made to immigration policy. Lt
Col Anthony Schaffer was ignored as he tried to point out that he had
identified the hijackers and was providing information to his
superiors regarding them before the attacks. Sibel Edmonds, who
claimed to have evidence of both traitors within the government and
direct links between elements in the U.S. Intelligence community with
bin Laden up to 9/10 was put under indictment. No one was fired for
the debacle of 6 jets scrambling to intercept the planes. Instead
average Americans would be expected to pay for the mistakes via
inflation of the currency through massive over-reach overseas and the
destruction of their natural rights at home. But Bush, the Socialist,
was not done.
The North American Union was a common
name given to the plan to merge the security forces of both the
United States, Mexico and Canada, three countries already joined by
NAFTA in matters of trade. Now, Bush appeared to be setting up NAFTA
to be the North American equivalent of the European Community which
preceded the actual EU. The name of the agreement was the Security
and Prosperity Partnership and would merge the three counties
security apparatuses. The Law of the Sea Treaty came next: While on
the surface, a good treaty supporting the environment and equal
access among nations, it in fact gave the UN permit power and taxing
power. It was supported by Bush and later, by Clinton and Obama. Bush
favored this. The borders remained open, while Mexico rapidly
descended into an undeclared civil war that would costs more lives
than America lost in Vietnam. Thus the President who was said to have
disregarded the international community to the chagrin of liberals
and to the 'Merica chants of NASCAR fans everywhere was actually
working to reduce American sovereignty and give defacto amnesty to
immigrants who came to America illegally, all while posing as a
reincarnation of the near mythical Reagan-Messiah figure the
Republican Party pointed to for its claim to be conservative.
George Bush destroyed the Constitution
via the Patriot Act. The military was committed in two countries
cleaning up messes made by British map makers post Sykes-Picot in the
first official chicken-hawk administration where the president was a
known deserter and the VP could not even be trusted to aim a shotgun
correctly. Two The economy was left on the vine to die by a fed
chairman who once championed a gold standard, but promptly forgot his
'Randian Principles' at the first grasp of power. Socialism marched
under the banner of the elephant, an animal of native intelligent
which is surely insulted by its association with the Republican
party. The Jackass still carried its burdens of centrist corporate
sponsored fools who mouthed populist motifs while signing bills they
never read written by the bipartisan K-Street vipers otherwise known
as lobbyists. 'Wall Street Got Drunk'- such were the Bush Years, a
bender from which America still struggles to kick the hangover.
Despite the claims of hope and change, it was clear from early
campaign speeches in 2008 that this would be a hangover that would
last for a bit. On the one side was a PTSD case only nationally known
because he happened to not know how to fly aircraft, and a man on the
other side who was a literal unknown. It was a one party system now-
not the Elephant or the Donkey- it was the time of the
internationalist-militaristic-march-to the bottom party. It was the
time of the new politicians, sweet in speech, acting like marionettes
their part of mutual rancorous worldviews but pragmatic every day
common ground. This new Republicrat party could best be symbolized by
the jackal, or the parasites running in his intestines.
