political ignorance is rational

Olbermann blasts Bush ! While talking about the 'sandbagging' of Clinton, and he even refers to 1984! Thank you Olbermann!

Stewart's humorous take on Clinton's sandbagging

Thanks to Eric for the heads up on White And Nerdy by Weird Al... this had me ROTFLOL.

Gift for Erik -- 911 Security Article. Erik, tell me what you believe is the significance of Marvin Bush? I'm dying to hear your answer on this one!

I updated my ThreeWaysMedia Music Website with my newest and most original whacked stuff (under THINK). I hope you'll check it out and tell me what you think, feel free to download & circulate to friends if you'd like.
I'm planning to release a CD this year called "THINK" by R.E. with these tracks and a few others.

As for Erik's comments on my post --> Erik, can you please comment on the immediate evacuation of the Bin Laden family after the 9/11 attack? While all the planes were grounded? Didn't that make you uncomfortable at all, or perhaps a bit suspicious?

I'm not in favor of 'aggressive interrogation' (as you refer to 'torture') of the Bin Ladens, but how about letting the CIA/FBI ask a few questions before the USA paid for their flights to Paris?!?!? Seems like a pretty fat gift to the family members of an attacker on the USA, no?

I was taking a break from posting, but A has inspired me with his rantings. GO ANDREW!!!

Interesting about the whole M1 M2 M3 thing. Basically, it sounds like a way of hiding knowledge. No doubt the USA will try to keep it's dwindling world fiscal influence hidden (from Americans) as other countries divest of the petrodollars -- but American military dominance will perhaps increase. I imagine this whole Iran conflict is exacerbated by OPEC moving off the dollar as well as the USA having shrinking reserves?

I don't see the nuclear bomb as the major issue on Iran, b/c the country that's acting the craziest already has nukes -- and Bush actually discussed potentially using them against Iran!!! Low-yield battlefield nukes used in a war to suppress a country developing nuclear weapon capacities. It's doublethink to the 3rd power!!!

I guess if the whole crisis is about American oil hegemony and $$ powers slipping, no wonder Bush is ready to overspend and overcommit every last ounce of American military juice to the region! He's not only protecting the family oil fortunes, but also his Saudi relationship as well...

All this doesn't make me think less of the conspiracies bandied about.

(Neither did that tape of the plane hitting the Pentagon!!! Did anyone watch that tape?!?!? I've been volunteering and shooting video for 3 years now -- that thing was crap! And the most outrageous part is all the videos footage that was confiscated -- within hours of the attacks! That's what I call a quick government response!!!)

Can anyone on this blog refute these statements (please?):

a) the election in 2000 was sabotaged by illegal Republican jury-rigging of ballots and voting equipment, and other various Florida election scandals, thus resulting in a President who did not win the election getting into office. The recount effort was also blocked by Republicans.
b) the 9/11 attacks were known by some American secret service organizations, but Bush did not act to stop the attacks. (We all saw his famous 7 minutes of hanging out, right?)
c) after 9/11, Bush's powers increased tremendously and he acted with incredible speed to expand surveilance internally in the USA, begin torturing people not charged with any crimes, violating international laws, and ultimately invading a country that had strategic oil value -- but was not an enemy capable of doing the USA harm at the time.
d) Election 2004 was also sabotaged by vote-machine rigging in Ohio and Florida, and a Green recount effort showed evidence of wrong-doing but was not followed up by government investigations.
e) Bush has lied to Americans and Congress about Intel reports.
f) if Clinton had done ANY of these acts, he would have been impeached and perhaps tried for treason by now

and therefore
g) a coup took place in the USA after the y2k elections, was cemented into power by the 9/11 attacks and subsequent beginning of a vaguely defined war against a nationless mysterious secret enemy, and 2004 once again shows the power of the Republican neo-fascists.

If someone can disprove g) I'd be interested to know the logic.

Andrew, thanks for inspiring me to put up a FAT rant!!! HA HA

Has everyone seen the graphic novel version of The 9/11 Report on Slate? Pretty amazing stuff, except that the interface is annoying.
