TWO STOLEN ELECTIONS, CORRUPTION, ILLEGAL WAR AND ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
WHY NO TRIALS?
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER
In 2000, we watched the polls heavily favor Vice President Gore against the inexperienced and virtually unknown George Bush, part time governor of Texas. Election night, exit polling showed Gore to have an easy victory. This polling method has always been the most sophisticated form of statistical analysis and has predicted thousands of elections with absolute accuracy…..until that night.
Then “the court” stepped in and stopped the recount and gave the election to the clear loser in a 5/4 vote. Since that time, we have learned with absolute certainty that the electronic voting was rigged and had moved millions of votes to the Republicans.
Then we waited. The bet between us, military retirees, FBI and members of the diplomatic and intelligence services, was when Cheney would stage an attack and how. We didn’t know if it would be aircraft, our first guess, or anthrax (looks like this one was tried but wasn’t dramatic enough) or, maybe, a dirty bomb. Aircraft was what was expected and the targets were obvious. Every intel agency warned of this vulnerability and, after all, they made the movie, The Long Kiss Goodnight letting “the cat out of the bag.
We knew what was wanted. Cheney wanted total power, the right to tap every phone, violate every treaty, arrest, torture or murder anyone, anywhere, anytime. We knew they would suspend habeas corpus. We knew they would invade Iraq and go for the oil, no matter how clear it was there was no legal reason and no matter how much the world damned us for it.
We also knew the same gang would empty the banks, drive the national debt through the roof, collapse the stock market and load up their corrupt cronies with no-bid contracts for useless weapons systems, unfinished projects, poisoned water for troops, anything. It was all known in advance, all predicted and we knew it could all be done because “they” had bought off the press and cleaned the competent and loyal officers out of the military. Nobody was left to stand up for America, so America fell.
Concentration camps were set up, illegal detention and torture became commonplace, even “legal” according to administration officials. “Tribunals” replaced courts and a new secret police force formed out of intelligence agencies and working with a corrupt Justice Department filtered across America to protect political friends and keep America silent.
9/11 was “whitewashed” with a coverup backed by corporate news and rubberstamped by our crippled intelligence community and military led by party hacks and weaklings.
Defense department funds were spent on “spin” hiring retired officers, some working as “independent military advisers” to networks. Each day these puppets spread lies from Cheney to Rove to Rumsfeld to Fox/CNN/MSNBC and on and on.
Once in power, massive illegal immigration began. The borders opened up to, not only a flood of workers, but drugs, poisoned foods while jobs flowed out at record levels.
Regulation of financial markets disappeared and a sham economy based on imaginary money ran up our debt and trade balance.
Strip mining, clear cutting forests, air and water pollution and dangerous drugs were all legalized by a government in the pocket of special interest. If it could be stolen or polluted and there was a buck in it, the American Dictatorship was behind it.
Industry thieves and gangsters from companies like Enron wrote government policy, sneaking into the White House as private guests of Cheney, arranging for America’s heating and electric bills to go thru the roof caused by scams, buying and selling back and forth between companies, all owned by the same people. You can enjoy seeing how they did it on the TV show Damages.
Oil companies, not OPEC, started Enron type insider trading to drive up gasoline to over $4 a gallon, making record profits while the American economy collapsed under the bleeding.
Not only did we invade Iraq based on lies, but we began systematically stealing their oil. Shipping from both the Persian Gulf and thru the Turkish pipeline at Ceyhan, production levels we said were 9% were really many times higher with only a small percentage of the oil taken out of Iraq actually paid for.
When you put your own “pet” government of wanted criminals in power, you can get away with anything, especially at gunpoint.
Billions went to rebuild Iraq but still there was no electricity, no water, no sewers, nothing, even many years later. The only things that was built was debt.
Nothing was investigated. Nobody asked where the money went. We even bought billions in weapons for the Iraqi army and they all disappeared. We currently have misplaced over 800,000 AK 47 fully automatic rifles and endless RPG’s and explosives. This is more than enough to arm every military force in Europe.
Nobody was surprised when the second election was stolen also. The CIA now openly admits that electronic voting machines are a license to corruption. You can, not only change any result, but erase your tracks and nobody can find out. This is the equipment that was used here and we are now starting to track down the culprits as news is showing.
Even the election that put President Obama in office may have had 10% or more of the votes altered. It is quite possible that Palin/McCain got between 32% and 38% of the vote.
Now, with all of it over and Americans trying to pick up the pieces and start over again to build a democracy, the cheering squad for the dictatorship has awakened. The conservatives, neocons, flat earthers and petty gangsters are now “surprised” at the trillions in debt they cheered on for 8 years.
They are surprised at the banking collapse caused by deregulation.
They act as though they were born 2 months ago.
Where were they for 8 years?
Every pundit, every organization, every phony group working for the Dictatorship and now claiming to be “born again” tax reformers, what is their history?
Did they oppose the war in Iraq?
Did they question the 9/11 commission?
Did they ask for an investigation of electronic vote rigging?
Did they question deregulation and the massive debt?
Did they oppose torture?
Did they oppose illegal wiretapping of millions of Americans?
Did they oppose the secret prisons?
Or, did they take direction from the Bush administration, follow talking points from Karl Rove and help violate everything we hold sacred? Covering up a crime is a crime. Put them all on trial, the entire “right” and let juries decide their fate.
This is what a free nation does, a nation of laws.
Forgiveness hell, I call it conspiracy and treason. We have the proof, we have the laws, what are we waiting for?
