		<description>&quot;But cruel are the times, when we are traitors
And do not know ourselves, when we hold rumour
From what we fear, yet know not what we fear,
But float upon a wild and violent sea
Each way and move.&quot;  

--William Shakespeare, Macbeth IV.ii</description>

		<description>Certainly you have heard of the supposed theory of why all this is occurring now.

1.  McCain will resign from the presidential campaign within two months of the election, and a new candidate will step in.

2.  Bush/Cheney will resigned or get impeached before years end, and likely before the election.

3.  Once this all occurs, Americans will trust their government again, and the final fleecing will occur, which will be rather painful for millions.  In other words, its a big setup for many still sleepy Americans.

The American people are quite stupid, so stupid that they have yet to voice demands about the wrongdoings by this administration as well as the complicity of democrats (since they have known all the while about torture and other illegal deeds).  Americans are still worried about their SUVs and big screen TVs, and planning vacations and other bullcrap while ignoring the outright and blatant misdeeds by our politicos.

It is the government now screaming at us with all this evidence.  They are asking for us to force them to correct the situation, but we sit idly by with our thumbs in our mouths.

I am an American by birth and not by choice.  Yes I have enjoyed luxury here in the U.S., but I have also had the truth about nearly everything hidden from me since the first years of school.  This is a disgusting country and never did stand for any of the omnipotent objectives we herald.  We are weak, fat and complacent and abhor critical thinking.  Even our Canadian friends see us as fools.  

I am sick of seeing people who wave their flag, wear the flag, hang the flag in their trucks.  They are full of the poison and are hopeless since drinking the koolaid from birth.  They offer their patriotism as a solution which is nothing more than a proud and egotistical person with a closed mind.  They are as useless as the people leading us down this horrible path of destruction.

When I see Koreans marching in the street by the tens of thousands about an issue related to food consumption, I admire those people for their integrity, willpower and fortitude.  Americans would never have the nerve, compassion or time to protest an issue of comparable meaning, let alone demonstrating for the impeaching of one, two or all 535 officers of our government.  Most people I talk with do not have a clue what is occurring, what has happened, and what is to occur...even my family!

We ourselves are the insidious parasite that has destroyed our personal life, and others in our midst.  It is not the government, because WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT.  So shove that excuse where the sun doesn&#039;t shine.  

I have to ask myself where are the MoveOn.org organizations that are suppose to be consolidating our demands and exposing the corruptness.  Unfortunately, they are the same poison and are now drinking from the same well as those that lead us astray.  They are all corrupt (my opinion) and have yet to rally Americans behind a single cause.  There cause is simple and that is to provide comfortable and highly compensated positions within a tax-free, or tax exempt, organization.  Its pretty easy to make it look like you give a damn, but actually getting something done, or action, is not what we are seeing.  I gave up on MoveOn after they decided to take on the worthy cause of Al Gore, and global warming.  They sought millions of signatures to be placed on a petition that was sent to the government to deal with this issue.  BUT it is a non-issue and if you had done your homework you would know that global warming is a hoax perpetuated by the same folks that have caused the banking crisis, the food crisis, the oil crisis (yada,yada,yada).  When you begin paying for a carbon tax on nearly any purchase you make, you will understand.  I even wrote MoveOn and sent the appropriate articles, references and documentation regarding the hoax of global warming, yet they spent valuable time and money move the public in the wrong direction.  Whose pocket are they in????

Where are the Americans?!!  What the hell is wrong with them!?!  What are they waiting for???

Required video watching for all Americans is the Ring of Power (parts I and II). I would recommend reading something but I doubt most Americans could grasp such a task.  In any case, the RIng of Power sums up the lies and lying liars since the time of the pharoahs.  In essence, most everything you have learned in school was a lie.  Your life has been a lie if you have relied upon the lies and disingenious principles taught to you in school, heralded from political platforms and broadcasted across all media sources.

Wake up Amerika...or its going to get a lot worse.  Really...</description>

		<description>Tanqueray Says: 
 Well, it&#039;s a good start. Better we rid the world of this vermin before they rid the world of us.(well not you guys, I mean the normal people)
 I know what you mean. The Fascist Brown Shirts that still support this administration and call for the death of anyone that dares to speak out. Make sure you keep those SS Arm Bands, spic and span clean! You might also want to brush up on your Mein Kampf. The proper extermination procedures must be maintained! How is your Goose Step? Have you grown a funny little Mustache yet? Have you written any compositions about the inferiority of the darker skinned people yet? 
Answer Me This, Have You Ever Heard Of The Concept Of Getting A Fair Trial? Due Process? Access To A Lawyer? Habeas Corpus?
The Constitution? Bill Of Rights? Declaration Of Independence?
 I think you should sign up for military service on the Golan Heights or Gaza Strip. You could get practice blowing holes through Palestinian children&#039;s heads.                       Why don&#039;t you and all of the rest of the &quot;Normal People&quot; move to another country. I don&#039;t care if there is a hundred million of you, America would be better off without you. Then we can start rebuilding this countries character and reputation. So that once again we are the country the rest of the world looks to for Human Rights and Common Decency.</description>

		<description>I have to wonder whether or not this is anything new...granted this administration is being boiled alive in their own spa filled with blood, but I am very curious as to whether or not we are all hearing about this because the internet is finally becoming a day to day routine for people.

How long have atrocities like this been committed?  A decade ago, the internet wasn&#039;t what it is and I never would have heard about it...</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt; Pelosi and the dems, won&#039;t do anything, because this war and the war crimes that go with it, are being done for the Ashke-Nazi Fatherland in the Middle East. They are the Masters of both parties. Sad but true! Research the U.S.S. Liberty attack. And that attack was 40 years ago. Their control over this country, has grown since 1967. 
 If this country is going to survive, we must break free of the death grip, these Inhuman Monsters have over the U.S.A! They will surely destroy it, if we don&#039;t. And it must be soon.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>These are war crimes.  What does this country stand for if we don&#039;t hold all accountable to the laws we have.  For the Bush administration to hide behind the term &quot;Enemy Combatant&quot; to conduct torture and condone murder is the most despicable act I have ever seen come out of the White House.  

No blowjob is bigger than the one we&#039;ve been getting from these bags of wind for the last 7 years.

It&#039;s time to impeach.</description>

		<description>DEFINITE WAR CRIMES. Will the Dem contolled Congress realize that this is way above politics and about humanity and act responsibly? The old games over Dems. Time to wake up and act accordingly. Or is this just election year posturing? Pretty disgusting to use this as a politcal ploy rather than hold those criminals accountable.</description>

According to the Associated Press, at least 108 detainees have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S. custody. [NYT, 3/16/05; BBC News, 3/16/05]

General Janet Karpinski said 90% were innocent. CIA has said 70-90% were innocent.

The BushCo, NeoCONS and the GOP couldn&#039;t have done it without the blessings from members of the DNC...

... Got IMPEACHMENT?

Because I don&#039;t remember a Republican taking the heavy hand of IMPEACHMENT &quot;OFF the TABLE.&quot; Do you?

Accountability is like cow pies...
Once it hits the fan, it spares no one.</description>

		<description>The ACLU in 10/05 just about defined what BushCo authorized.  No matter how much the Fed Admin. buttboys &amp; girls squirm in the hearings, this is what their documents authorized:

http://action.aclu.org/torturefoia/released/102405/

http://www.aclu.org/intlhumanrights/gen/21236prs20051024.html

An excerpt (sorry for its length; it&#039;s actually brief compared to the whole report)-

The records reveal the following facts:

A 27-year-old Iraqi male died while being interrogated by Navy Seals on April 5, 2004, in Mosul, Iraq. During his confinement he was hooded, flex-cuffed, sleep deprived and subjected to hot and cold environmental conditions, including the use of cold water on his body and hood.  The exact cause of death was &quot;&quot;undetermined&quot;&quot; although the autopsy stated that hypothermia may have contributed to his death.   Notes say he &quot;&quot;struggled/ interrogated/ died sleeping.&quot;&quot; Some facts relating to this case have been previously reported.  (In April 2003, Secretary Rumsfeld authorized the use of &quot;&quot;environmental manipulation&quot;&quot; as an interrogation technique in Guantánamo Bay.  In September 2003, Lt. Gen. Sanchez also authorized this technique for use in Iraq.  Although Lt. Gen. Sanchez later rescinded the September 2003 techniques, he authorized &quot;&quot;changes in environmental quality&quot;&quot; in October 2003.)
An Iraqi detainee (also described as a white male) died on January 9, 2004, in Al Asad, Iraq, while being interrogated by &quot;&quot;OGA.&quot;&quot;  He was standing, shackled to the top of a door frame with a gag in his mouth at the time he died. The cause of death was asphyxia and blunt force injuries.  Notes summarizing the autopsies record the circumstances of death as &quot;&quot;Q by OGA, gagged in standing restraint.&quot;&quot; (Facts in the autopsy report appear to match the previously reported case of Abdul Jaleel.)
A detainee was smothered to death during an interrogation by Military Intelligence on November 26, 2003, in Al Qaim, Iraq.  A previously released autopsy report, that appears to be of General Mowhoush, lists &quot;&quot;asphyxia due to smothering and chest compression&quot;&quot; as the cause of death and cites bruises from the impact with a blunt object.  New documents specifically record the circumstances of death as &quot;&quot;Q by MI, died during interrogation.&quot;&quot; 
A detainee at Abu Ghraib Prison, captured by Navy Seal Team number seven, died on November 4, 2003, during an interrogation by Navy Seals and &quot;&quot;OGA.&quot;&quot;  A previously released autopsy report, that appears to be of Manadel Al Jamadi, shows that the cause of his death was &quot;&quot;blunt force injury complicated by compromised respiration.&quot;&quot;  New documents specifically record the circumstances of death as &quot;&quot;Q by OGA and NSWT died during interrogation.&quot;&quot; 
An Afghan civilian died from &quot;&quot;multiple blunt force injuries to head, torso and extremities&quot;&quot; on November 6, 2003, at a Forward Operating Base in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.  (Facts in the autopsy report appear to match the previously reported case of Abdul Wahid.)
A 52-year-old male Iraqi was strangled to death at the Whitehorse detainment facility on June 6, 2003, in Nasiriyah, Iraq.  His autopsy also revealed bone and rib fractures, and multiple bruises on his body. (Facts in the autopsy report appear to match the previously reported case of Nagm Sadoon Hatab.)</description>
