We still have a whole lot of totally unresolved issues in our country.
Small issues for some, such as torture, invading and destroying other countries, killing hundreds of thousands of mostly innocent people, destroying the U.S. and the world economies and so forth.
At the same time, those with a bit more decency, brains and no criminal streaks in their makeup, might consider these issues not to be so small after all. We certainly hope that you belong to the second category.
Along with out friends at BadGalsRadio we have been creating and collecting all kinds of materials on these subjects and placing them on the Neocons on Parade website.
A great many people still believe in the official U.S. Government version of what transpired on September 11, 2001. At least as many seem to also believe in the existence of the Tooth Fairy and of the Boogie Man.
The latter has at least some connection to the Bush administration’s version of 9/11. Their Boogie Man’s name is Osama bin Laden and he was mightily pissed off about U.S. troops (including women) being stationed in Saudi Arabia, which he calls “the land of the holy places”.
There is no doubt that besides being an anti-Soviet fighter in Afghanistan bin Laden is also a terrorist, who does not like the U.S. and that he did conduct some terrorist operations against American targets, but the Boogie Man image was given to him not quite on the basis of his terrorist “accomplishments”, but rather as a convenient target for everyone to hate and therefore to support anything that the Bushies were doing.
To this day, despite all kinds of “investigations” and bipartisan commission reports there is no credible proof that bin Laden’s al-Qaida has actually conducted the 9/11 attacks on the U.S.
As a matter of fact, bin Laden himself has repeatedly denied having anything to do with those attacks. Why would he do that? Conducting such a successful terrorist operation would only increase his stature among his peers.
Nevertheless, on September 17, 2001 Osama bin Laden has issued the following statement: “The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it,” he said. “I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons.”I have been living in the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan and following its leaders’ rules. The current leader does not allow me to exercise such operations.”
Strange that he would issue such a denial days after the 9/11 events, but that in December 2001, a bin Laden “confession” tape was magically “found” in a house in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. That videotape has been played ad nauseam after the operations in Afghanistan have started. It featured a fat bin Laden laughing and joking about how he had carried out the 9/11 attacks. According to experts the video was also mistranslated, in order to manipulate viewer opinion and featured “bin Laden” praising two of the hijackers, except that he got their names wrong.
In that video “Osama ” also uses the wrong hand to write with and wears gold rings, a practice totally in opposition to the Muslim faith.
Despite the fact that the man in the video looks nothing like Bin Laden, the CIA stood by the video while many have declared it an outright fake.
In the meantime, the FBI’s press release of September 27, 2001 states: “The Federal Bureau of Investigation is today releasing 19 photographs of individuals believed to be the hijackers of the four airliners that crashed on September 11, 2001, into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon, and in Stony Creek Township, Pennsylvania. The FBI requests the public’s assistance in obtaining more information about these individuals. It should be noted that attempts to confirm the true identities of these individuals are still under way. The FBI asks anyone who has ever seen or has information about these individuals to immediately contact the nearest FBI office or the toll free hotline number”.
Strangely enough the media, the CIA and others stood by the veracity of bin Laden’s “confession”, but the FBI stated: “It should be noted that attempts to confirm the true identities of these individuals are still under way”.
Still another “confession” by bin Laden was aired shortly before the 2004 U.S. elections, most likely contributing to the re-election of George W. Bush.
It is pretty amazing how despite utter incompetence exhibited before the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration has been able to so very quickly and efficiently determine who conducted the attacks, along with their photos and names and to very efficiently connect the group with al-Qaida and bin Laden.
Lets not forget that Dick Cheney was running a completely separate chain of Command and Control via the Secret Service on the morning of 9/11, assuring the paralysis of the Air Force and its ability to intercept the hijacked planes.
It is also truly amazing how quickly and efficiently the lengthy Patriot Act was written and how fast it was signed into law (October 26, 2001).
We could go on and on, but it seems that anyone over the age of 6 and with an IQ higher than 85 should see the holes in the Tooth Fairy myth as well as in the official version of 9/11.
This is the eighth post in a series, posted on conjunction with BadGalsRadioon the subject of accountability of the Bush 43 administration and in support of Senator Patrick Leahy’s “commission of inquiry”. Links to our previous articles are at the bottom.
If you have read our posts up to now and watched the videos, you must realize that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of their administration have a whole lot of explaining to do as far as 9/11, the lies leading up to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, domestic spying, the firing of the U.S. Attorneys, the use of torture, the further deregulation of what they have the gall to call “our financial system” and a whole gamut of other issues.
It appears then that rather than having to explain their deeds in a court of law (let’s not lose hope here), the boys have decided to publish their memoirs in book form.
Bush’s book tentatively titled Decision Points, is scheduled for a 2010 release by Crown.
Instead of telling his life story, Bush will concentrate on about a dozen personal and presidential choices, from giving up drinking (that was probably a mistake, as maybe he wouldn’t have committed all of those errors, while in a drunken stupor) to picking Dick Cheney as his vice president to sending troops to Iraq. He will also write about his relationship with family members, including his father, his religious faith and his disgraceful response to Hurricane Katrina.
We know that George W. Bush has had an extensive experience with books. This photo from the morning of September 11, 2001 is a case in point.
Financial details were not disclosed, although publishers have openly expressed doubt that Bush would receive the $15 million Clinton got for his memoir, My Life.
There are even rumors, that Bush asked Dick Cheney to write the book for him. Andy Borowitz writes: “according to sources close to the former president, Mr. Cheney was his second choice to write the memoir after Mr. Bush was turned down by his first choice, author James Frey.
Known for his reluctance to acknowledge mistakes, Bush said the book would include self-criticism, “Absolutely, yes,” but cautioned that “hindsight is very easy” and that he would make sure readers could view events as he saw them.
“I want to recreate what it was like, for example, right after 9/11,” he said, “and have people understand the emotions I felt and what others around me felt at the time.”
Asked if he might write about the ouster of his first defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, or about his decision not to pardon Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, choices both openly disputed by Cheney, Bush said he didn’t know.
We suppose that if Cheney actually has anything to do with Bush’s book, those chapters may very well have the expected flavor.
Most top officials in the Bush administration, from Condie Rice to Karl Rove, have either completed their books or are in the midst of writing them. Dick Cheney has said he plans to pen a memoir and Laura Bush has a deal with Scribner.
Frankly, what could any of those books tell us that we already don’t know? Will they reveal the true events of 9/11, the “intelligence findings” about supposed WMD’s in Iraq, or how the administration has colluded with the Wall Street crooks? Those would be revelations of the first magnitude, but don’t expect to see any of them in any of these books.
Save your money and buy something actually worth reading and short of supporting Senator Patrick Leahy’s “commission of inquiry” and a much needed investigation by the Justice Department of the eight years of Bush’s and the neocons’ rule, we would much rather forget all of these distasteful characters and just wait for what history will really have to say about them.

President Obama needs to tell Attorney General Eric Holder to indict Dick Cheney, right now, for war crimes.
Just look at the statute, Title 18 of the U.S. Criminal Code, Section 2441. It says that someone is guilty of a war crime if he or she commits a “grave breach of common Article 3” of the Geneva Conventions. And then it defines what a grave breach would be.
Supadubya [EXPLICIT LYRICS]
I absolutely suggest you watch this, cause these guys is throwin down hard as war. damn they absolutely must put out a cd when the trial starts. get them the crimes and let em rap it to Holder if nothing else works. he would have no choice but to tap his toe to this truthandlyrical assault on these Phucks. “Go Bwoys”
One such breach is torture, or the conspiracy to commit torture, which Cheney was clearly in on, as when he repeatedly defended waterboarding and talked about the need to go to the “dark side” Here’s the language from the statute: “The act of a person who commits, or conspires to commit, an act specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering . . . upon another person within his custody or physical control for the purpose of obtaining information or a confession, punishment, intimidation, coercion, or any reason based on discrimination of any kind.”
Why Was This nutcase not already indicted ?
Another grave breach is “cruel or inhuman treatment,” or the conspiracy to inflict such treatment. Again, Cheney was supervising such treatment in the White House, which would qualify as committing this crime. One time, it got so ghoulish that Attorney General John Ashcroft asked the other principals, “Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly.”
Here’s the language on “cruel or inhuman treatment”: “The act of a person who commits, or conspires or attempts to commit, an act intended to inflict severe or serious physical or mental pain or suffering . . . including serious physical abuse, upon another within his custody or control.”
An additional breach is “mutilation or maiming.” Since some detainees say they no longer have the complete functioning of arms or limbs, Cheney may be on the hook here, too. “The act of a person who intentionally injures, or conspires or attempts to injure, or injures whether intentionally or unintentionally in the course of committing any other offense under this subsection, one or more persons . . . by disfiguring the person or persons by any mutilation thereof or by permanently disabling any member, limb or organ of his body, without any legitimate medical or dental purpose.”
“Intentionally causing serious bodily harm” is yet another grave breach. The statute defines this as: “The act of a person who intentionally causes, or conspires or attempts to cause, serious bodily injury to one or more persons, including lawful combatants, in violation of the law of war.”
For each of these offenses, Cheney could receive life in prison, according to the statute.
That is where he belongs.
And it’s time for Obama to stop pussyfooting around. He should indict, arrest, and prosecute Cheney.
“There is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes,” said Major General Antonio Taguba, USA (Ret.), in the preface to the Physicians for Human Rights report, “Broken Laws, Broken Lives”. “The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account.”
That question is now firmly on Obama’s desk.
And if he continues to dodge it, he’ll make a sick joke of the pious claim that we are a nation of laws, not men.
What Inquiring Minds Want to Know is, Why Does He Always Get INDICTED, But Never Charged ?
HOUSTON (Reuters) – A grand jury in South Texas indicted U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and former attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Tuesday for “organized criminal activity” related to alleged abuse of inmates in private prisons.
The indictment has not been seen by a judge, who could dismiss it.
The grand jury in Willacy County, in the Rio Grande Valley near the U.S.-Mexico border, said Cheney is “profiteering from depriving human beings of their liberty,” according to a copy of the indictment obtained by Reuters.
The indictment cites a “money trail” of Cheney’s ownership in prison-related enterprises including the Vanguard Group, which owns an interest in private prisons in south Texas.
Former attorney general Gonzales used his position to “stop the investigations as to the wrong doings” into assaults in county prisons, the indictment said.
Cheney’s office declined comment. “We have not received any indictments. I can’t comment on something we have not received,” said Cheney’s spokeswoman Megan Mitchell.
The indictment, overseen by county District Attorney Juan Guerra, cites the case of Gregorio De La Rosa, who died on April 26, 2001, inside a private prison in Willacy County.
The grand jury wrote it made its decision “with great sadness,” but said they had no other choice but to indict Cheney and Gonzales “because we love our country.”
Texas is the home state of U.S. President George W. Bush.
Bush and his Republican administration, which first took office in January 2001, leave the White House on January 20 after the November presidential elections won by Democrat Barack Obama. Gonzales was attorney general from 2005 to 2007.

Yet another sordid chapter in the murky annals of Halliburton might well lead to the indictment of Dick Cheney by a French court on charges of bribery, money-laundering and misuse of corporate assets.
Countdown:The Nation’s Washington editor Chris Hayes points out the missing pieces in Dick Cheney’s defense of torture at Guantánamo Bay.
Doug Ireland: New anti-condom CDC regs give the lie to Bush’s election-year rhetoric.
At the heart of the matter is a $6 billion gas liquification factory built in Nigeria on behalf of oil mammoth Shell by Halliburton–the company Cheney headed before becoming Vice President–in partnership with a large French petroengineering company, Technip. Nigeria has been rated by the anticorruption watchdog Transparency International as the second-most corrupt country in the world, surpassed only by Bangladesh.
One of France’s best-known investigating magistrates, Judge Renaud van Ruymbeke–who came to fame by unearthing major French campaign finance scandals in the 1990s that led to a raft of indictments–has been conducting a probe of the Nigeria deal since October. And, three days before Christmas, the Paris daily Le Figaro front-paged the news that Judge van Ruymbeke had notified the Justice Ministry that Cheney might be among those eventually indicted as a result of his investigation.
According to accounts in the French press, Judge van Ruymbeke believes that some or all of $180 million in so-called secret “retrocommissions” paid by Halliburton and Technip were, in fact, bribes given to Nigerian officials and others to grease the wheels for the refinery’s construction. These reports say van Ruymbeke has fingered as the bagman in the operation a 55-year-old London lawyer, Jeffrey Tesler, who has worked for Halliburton for some thirty years. It was Tesler who was paid the $180 million as a “commercial consultant” through a Gibraltar-based front company he set up called TriStar. TriStar, in turn, got the money from a consortium set up for the Nigeria deal by Halliburton and Technip and registered in Madeira, the Portuguese offshore island where taxes don’t apply. According to Agence France-Presse, a former top Technip official, Georges Krammer, has testified that the Madeira-based consortium was a “slush fund” controlled by Halliburton–through its subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root–and Technip. Krammer, who is cooperating with the investigation, also swore that Tesler was imposed as the intermediary by Halliburton over the objections of Technip.
Tesler is a curious fellow: A veteran operator in Nigeria, he was the financial adviser to the late dictator Gen. Sani Abacha and controlled his personal fortune, while at the same time working for Halliburton. Abacha’s former Oil Minister, Dan Etete–who is suspected of having used some of the alleged bribe money to buy himself fancy apartments in Paris and a chateau in Normandy–was deposed by Judge van Ruymbeke in December. According to the Journal du Dimanche (a large Sunday paper), Etete’s testimony seemed to confirm the judge’s suspicions that Tesler laundered the $180 million through offshore and other accounts, and that part of the money wound up in dictator Abacha’s coffers. Tesler’s bank accounts in Monaco, Switzerland and elsewhere have been subpoenaed in an effort to find out where the money went.
Judge van Ruymbeke’s authority for his transnational investigation comes from a law France passed in 2000 against “bribing foreign officials,” following its ratification of a convention adopted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development prohibiting bribe-giving in the course of commercial transactions. The notion that the judge’s targeting of Cheney might be in part retaliatory for the Bush Administration’s exclusion of France from Iraq reconstruction contracts is unlikely: Van Ruymbeke is notoriously independent, and his previous investigations have been aimed at politicians and parties of both right and left. He’s also no stranger to the unsavory world of oil-and-gas politics, having previously investigated bribe-giving by the French petrogiant Elf–indeed, it was in the course of his Elf investigation that van Ruymbeke stumbled upon the Nigerian deal.
The suspected bribe money was mostly ladled out between 1995 and 2000, when Cheney was Halliburton’s CEO. The Journal du Dimanche reported on December 21 that “it is probable that some of the ‘retrocommissions’ found their way back to the United States” and asked, did this money go “to Halliburton’s officials? To officials of the Republican Party?” These questions have so far gone unasked by America’s media, which have completely ignored the explosive Le Figaro headline revealing the targeting of Cheney. It will be interesting to see if the US press looks seriously into this ticking time-bomb of a scandal before the November elections.

“Accrued liabilities for U.S. federal employees’ and veterans’ benefits now total $4.5 trillion. Indeed, our debt for veterans’ health and disability payments has risen by $228 billion in the past year alone…
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the interest payments on the money borrowed to finance the Iraq war will total $264 billion to $308 billion.” That $2,000,000,000,000?
A portion of this was clipped from “Think Progress” Thursday, March 19, 2009 Weeks after President Obama was inaugurated, Dick Cheney gave an interview to Politico slamming Obama’s detainee policies and warning that he was making America less safe (charges he repeated again last Sunday). Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell’s former chief of staff who left the Bush administration in protest, wrote an essay on the Washington Note last evening slamming Cheney’s fearmongering. Wilkerson calls Cheney “evil” and says his detainee policies were only “assisting” terrorists:
Cheney went on to say in his McLean interview that “Protecting the country’s security is a tough, mean, dirty, nasty business. These are evil people and we are not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek.” I have to agree but the other way around.
Cheney and his like are the evil people and we certainly are not going to prevail in the struggle with radical religion if we listen to people as he. […]
We have actively studied the questionable nature of the official version of what happened to our nation on September 11, 2001.
Throughout the first year after 9-11 we ignored and did not believe those who asked us to question the official story. Like millions of Americans we believed America had been attacked by terrorists from abroad.
Sadly, we are now convinced that rogue elements within our government committed a vicious criminal act against its own citizens for the larger purpose of swaying us to support both domestic and foreign policies mapped out in the late 1990’s. 9-11 was Hitler’s Reichstag fire of 1933 and Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor masterfully coordinated to achieve the desired ends of an imperialistic role for America in the world, patriotic support at home and the erosion of our constitutional rights.
In a nutshell, the war on terrorism is a cruel hoax by a misguided, out-of-democratic control small group of individuals sabotaging the best of American values. We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis combined with severe domination from an Orwellian corporate media knowingly or unknowingly being of service to the true powerbrokers behind the curtain.

They lied about Iraq and Afghanistan and just about everything else. Why are we willing to accept their version of 9/11 that made it all possible?
Initially, most of us fell for their version of the events. But then came the slip-ups. The leaseholder of the World Trade Center admitted on PBS in ‘Rebuilding America’ that WTC-7 was ‘pulled‘ on 9/11 (See video here in Windows Media Format), which is the standard slang for controlled demolition.

Economists project a much higher ‘burn rate’ than government estimates
The Associated Press
The flow of blood may be ebbing, but the flood of money into the Iraq war is steadily rising, new analyses show. In 2008, its sixth year, the war will cost approximately $12 billion a month, triple the “burn” rate of its earliest years, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz and co-author Linda J. Bilmes report in a new book. Beyond 2008, working with “best-case” and “realistic-moderate” scenarios, they project the Iraq and Afghan wars, including long-term U.S. military occupations of those countries, will cost the U.S. budget between $1.7 trillion and $2.7 trillion — or more — by 2017. Interest on money borrowed to pay those costs could alone add $816 billion to that bottom line, they say.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has done its own projections and comes in lower, forecasting a cumulative cost by 2017 of $1.2 trillion to $1.7 trillion for the two wars, with Iraq generally accounting for three-quarters of the costs. Variations in such estimates stem from the sliding scales of assumptions, scenarios and budget items that are counted.
But whatever the estimate, the cost will be huge, the auditors of the Government Accountability Office say. In a Jan. 30 report to Congress, the GAO observed that the U.S. will be committing “significant” future resources to the wars, “requiring decision makers to consider difficult trade-offs as the nation faces an increasing long-range fiscal challenge.” These numbers don’t include the war’s cost to the rest of the world. In Iraq itself, the 2003 U.S.-led invasion _ with its devastating air bombardments — and the looting and arson that followed, severely damaged electricity and other utilities, the oil industry, countless factories, hospitals, schools and other underpinnings of an economy.
Untold economic damage No one has tried to calculate the economic damage done to Iraq, said spokesman Niels Buenemann of the International Monetary Fund, which closely tracks national economies. But millions of Iraqis have been left without jobs, and hundreds of thousands of professionals, managers and other middle-class citizens have fled the country.
In their book, “The Three Trillion Dollar War,” Stiglitz, of Columbia University, and Bilmes, of Harvard, report the two wars will have cost the U.S. budget $845 billion in 2007 dollars by next Sept. 30, end of fiscal year 2008, assuming Congress fully funds Bush administration requests.
That counts not just military operations, but embassy costs, reconstruction and other war-related expenses. That total far surpasses the $670 billion in 2007 dollars the Congressional Research Service says was the U.S. price tag for the 12-year Vietnam War. Although American military and Iraqi civilian casualties have declined in recent months, the rate of spending has shot up. A fully funded 2008 war budget will be 155 percent higher than 2004’s, the CBO reports.

A new analysis of the total fatalities in the Iraq war during the presidency of George W. Bush demonstrates that the likely number is between 800,000 and 1.3 million. The analysis appears in The Nation (Feb. 16, 2009) and can also be read here. It has been translated into four languages and has appeared in more than 3,000 publications and on-line websites. Reporter Tom Ricks adds that the war seems far from over. Read his commentary.

Colin Powell explains the Lie that made him step down after he was puppeted to the United Nations.
Look at how clearly this was revealed and even Powell had to back that thang up. he was played by Bush Co; but he stood up like a true patriot and corrected this lie. Thank You General Powell you are My Hero.
Yowzer – did he say “Held Secretly“; when did he become sheriff of the world ?
The Iraq war has been perhaps America’s bitterest lesson since Vietnam in the realities of war and geopolitics, profoundly altering ordinary citizens’ sense of their country, its essential abilities, and the overall role it plays in the world. It has cost more than 4,000 American lives and ten’s of thousands of Iraqis.
The bottom line may be that today many in the US view the Iraq invasion as a mistake they don’t want to see repeated. Troubles in Iraq appear to have fed a desire on the part of some ordinary Americans for disengagement with the world. “We are in a period of rising isolationism, just as we saw a bump in isolationism after the war in Vietnam in the ’70s,” said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center, at a Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Six years ago, America, as well as Iraq, was a different place. Virtually every major poll showed US majorities in support of military action. On another point, national opinion seems clearer: In hindsight, a majority of Americans view the decision to invade as a mistake. Moreover, interest in and knowledge of the situation in Iraq are declining among US citizens, in part because news coverage is diminishing.
Public awareness of the number of US military fatalities in Iraq has declined sharply. That does not mean Americans do not support their troops, of course. In fact, unlike the situation during the Vietnam era, there appears to be widespread realization that a small slice of US society, the military, is bearing a disproportionate burden.
Americans are generally wary of foreign entanglements and worry about the ramifications of long-term commitments overseas, concludes an analysis of public opinion on Iraq by Karlyn Bowman, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. But if nothing else, the war in Iraq may have heightened the awareness of Americans about the problems of the rest of the globe.
