		<description>RE: Culture 
with respect in memory of prencess lady diana. 
,In response to your message titled &quot;DEAR. USA OF PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH, PLEASE 
WRITE TO US, PELASE READ TO THIS LETTER. CIA!!!&quot; 
At: http://network54.com/Forum/message?messageid=1134138803&amp;forumid=27708 

The Real Banker has replied (with title &quot;Bush asked me to respond to your 
letter.&quot;): 

Stop sending me emails, faxes and for God&#039;s sake, stop calling me! 

Contact: Bill Clinton at (927)932-0933 and tell him that I sent you. 

God&#039;s speed! 

George W. Bush 

Subject: Lady Diana Project and the reference of President Bush 

Dear.Prime Minister  of  Union Kingdom TONY BLAIR (YOU ARE &#304;NTELLENGENT 
AND CLEAVER A PEOPLE.!!)                              20 april 2007 

We send our love and respect to you and to your people. 
We would like to inform you that we have our reference from President of Usa 
George Walker Bush for our art project for support to 500.000 usd (five hundred 
thousand ). This project involves music albums, books, TV programs and web sites 
of Lady Diana. In his reply, President Bush says that we can get in touch with 
Bill Clinton and the President of Cuba. So, we called Bill Clinton (as the 
number of his office was also given to us) but everytime we tried, the lines 
were busy. In addition to this, we wrote him a mail but we haven&#039;t got any reply 
yet. Meanwhile, we also wrote to the President of Cuba, Castro, but there was no 
reply from him too. 
President Bush promised to help us in our project. This is not just a promise of 
President Bush, but also a promise of the American people, of the Presidency, of 
the Congress and of the Senate. We believe that the promise will be kept. 
We work for Lady Diana Project since 1997. In other words, for 10 years. We 
would like to state that the companies given names below will also help us. We 
also need your help for the project as the project is very important for the 
whole Europe, including England and Turkey, for America and for other countries 
too. 
We kindly ask you to call the President Bill and we believe that you will supply 
the necessary fund to us for the project. 
Some people are trying to avoid us so we also kindly ask you to take precautions 
for them. 
Especially some press in Europe are interested in with Lady Diana&#039;s life so we 
get support from them. We kindly ask you to take the necessary steps for the 
money delivering us  without any interruption in legal ways. 
We also need the protection of the project and of the author who writes them. 
We will apply to United Nations for our project to be a member of the World Art 
and Culture Works. 
We know that Lady Diana was also an important person for you. We will state your 
name in our list who helps for this project. 
We kindly ask for you reply as we believe that you will help us on this matter. 

Yours very Truly

		<description>Have to agree that sitting here typing must translate into action that will work it on the street.  

for instance, lots of people DO NOT know what seems basic to us here.  there is a &lt;strong&gt;need to know&lt;/strong&gt; basis about this information that makes me get up and go and out and talk about this stuff.

no one believes me.  what are they watching?  who really cares?

no more just sittin&#039; around, we have to be more than observers.  we were fortunate enough to be born in interesting times, go out and live it, save what&#039;s left of our constitution in ACTION!  this is OUR democracy, no matter what junior thinks.</description>

		<description>I would like to get precisely back on topic.

Does anyone know exactly what Rep. Feeney is currently being investigated for?  The SPTimes report is vague.  Is it the failure to report the golf trip?  Or does the FBI have some new information on something specific that Feeney did for Abramoff?  What is the interest in getting those e-mails that his chief of staff sent to paper?  Didn&#039;t the paper print them already?  And what&#039;s the deal with Feeney paying for Abramoff&#039;s tab multiple times at Signatures (twice more than $2K)?  I  thought it only worked the other way---Abramoff comps a tab to buy a favor.  Lastly, what are the connections between Feeney and Mark Zachares?  The Politico article is very vague on this.  I know they were together on the golf trip.  Also, I think I saw that Zachares used to be the Assistant Attorney General of the Northern Marinara Islands Department of Labor and Immigration.  There has to be something about Feeney helping Zachares by pushing bills permitting the unfair Saipan labor practices.

Can we use the comments section to exchange information regarding these points, instead of the understandable but unproductive gloating?</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t there a line in &quot;Chinatown&quot;, something to the effect, &quot;Kill one man, you go to jail.  Kill a whole city, they put your name on a big building&quot;?  

I think Patricia Highsmith once said that criminals, like Tom Ripley, get away with what they do because the person standing right next to them knows s/he could never do something like that, so s/he can&#039;t imagine the other person could either.  Just an observation...</description>

		<description>Thank you, #40.  Indeed, there are just too many funky, weird details about 9/11 that have never been explained, let alone publically acknowledged by our notoriously &quot;liberal media&quot;.  I rest my case.

Wanna bet W leaves office prematurely for &quot;health reasons&quot;?</description>

		<description>Actually, the RICO act has already been filed against the Bush Administration regarding 9/11. So to answer your question. Yes, the RICO Act has been used against the Federal Government.

http://www.projectcensored.org/publications/2005/9.html

&quot;Ellen Mariani has studied the facts of the day for nearly two years and has come to believe that the White House â€œintentionally allowed 9/11 to happenâ€ in order to launch the â€œWar on Terrorism.â€ Her lawyer, Phillip Berg, former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, who filed a 62-page complaint in federal district court charging that President Bush and officials, including but not limited to, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and Ashcroft: (1) had adequate foreknowledge of 911, yet failed to warn the country or attempt to prevent it; (2) have since been covering up the truth of that day; (3) have therefore abetted the murder of plaintiffâ€™s husband and violated the Constitution and multiple laws of the United States; and (4) are thus being sued under the Civil Racketeering, Influences, and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act for malfeasant conspiracy, obstruction of justice and wrongful death.&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve heard the argument about political expediency.  I also think Bush and his gang are such a threat to the country and the rest of the world that it&#039;s more a question of urgent national security than electoral practicality.

I was telling friends 3 and 4 yrs ago that George might be the first president to leave office in a straight jacket and I still think it&#039;s a distinct possibility.  Watch the man talk these days.  Pay attention to the speech patterns, the body language... W&#039;s gone, he&#039;s left the house.   I think he&#039;s suffered a psychotic snap.

Watch the movie &quot;Dr. Strangelove&quot; and pay close attention to Sterling Hayden&#039;s performance as &quot;General Jack D. Ripper&quot;.  You&#039;ll see what I mean.  One of these mornings they&#039;re going to find George lying on the WH lawn, in his jammies and bathrobe, empty whiskey bottle clutched in one hand, muttering on and on about &quot;Jesus&quot; and &quot;the rug&quot; and &quot;polls that go boom&quot;...</description>

		<description>#35 All of these people have done things that should get them thrown out but the DLC thinks that if we drag things out we have a better shot at winning the presidency in 2008.  Maybe that is a realistic view but it is not exactly what the founding fathers had in mind.</description>

		<description>Yeah, but wouldn&#039;t criminal behavior be grounds for gettin&#039; yer ass tossed out of office?  It sure worked for the &quot;Duke-stir&quot;, &quot;The Bugman&quot; and &quot;Scooter&quot;.  Geez, they even have catchy nicknames like organized crime figures.  

Haven&#039;t you ever seen a tape of some Mafioso on trial - &quot;I can&#039;t remember... I don&#039;t recall... to the best of my recollection... I plead the 5th on that one, yer Honor...&quot;.  Or noticed how the union&#039;s books have mysterious disappeared overnight?  Hmmm...


I ain&#039;t never seen anything like these guys in my whole life.  They seem to be spontaneously combusting left and right these days.

Ka-Whompff!  Ka-whompff!  Ka-whompff!!</description>
