"..the Bush administration will be history." per Former Texas GOP Chair

In context now, THOMAS PAUKEN, who also served in the Reagan admin as a military-intelligence officer in Vietnam said in this Aug 20 article that Bush any his “neo-con cabal” would be “history” in this worst case scenario:

The worst possible scenario for the administration would be if it turns out that the Niger documents in question (which all now agree were forged) were fabricated by individuals who may have had a motive for getting us into the war. Shadowy figures previously linked to the Iran-Contra scandal have been mentioned as possible originators of the forged documents.

If there is any truth to these charges, the lid will blow off Washington — and the Bush administration will be history.

Again this establishment, pre-neo-con career Repub intel offical says that the whispers are that “Shadowy figures previously linked to the Iran-Contra scandal have been mentioned as possible originators of the forged documents.”

Uh uh UH.  I know the “shadowy figure” has been mentioned in previous diaries, but I can’t remember who he is.  Anyone?  Also, it’s always nice to publish articles of rethugs eating each other alive.

9/11 Hijackers Trained By US Military?

I don’t see anything up about this right now but sorry if its a duplicate of an earlier diary.. well, let’s just let good ole Raw Story say it.  I’ll just say holy fucking shit.

The writer of article: Nafeez Ahmed who is Executive Director of the Institute for Policy Research & Development in London, and a Doctoral Candidate in International Relations at the University of Sussex, Brighton.

[snip}..”five of the alleged hijackers received training in the 1990s at secure US military installations”, including Mohamed Atta who attended International Officers School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama.

The US Air Force later argued that they “might not” be the same persons, due to some “biographical discrepancies” – which of course were never revealed to the public. When Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) tried to investigate, shocked at the possibility that Pensacola Naval Air Station could have hosted and trained Saeed Alghamdi, Ahmed Alghamdi, among others, he was told by the FBI – after several weeks – that they were trying to work through something “complicated and difficult.”

Daniel Hopsicker, a former Producer at PBS Wall Street Week and investigative report at NBC News, decided to investigate. [snip]…It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that these people were, for reasons undisclosed, protected

More below.
If seeing this for the first time (unlikely but here ya go):

Exactly one year before 9/11, a highly classified US Army intelligence unit known as “Able Danger” had already pinpointed four of the 9/11 hijackers. Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Khalid Almidhar, and Nawaf Alhamzi were identified as members of a “Brooklyn” al-Qaeda cell on a detailed chart that included visa photographs.

Get ready for the “liberal civil liberties advocates caused this intel failure” ad nauseum argument. Expect Rush the Lush to pound in that talking point.  And maybe that argument-to-be explains loon Congressman Curt Weldon’s reasons for outing this coverup of intel failures and likely worse:  setting the stage for an American declaration of a military state.  Just in time before losing Congress in ’06?

The law [that prevented the Pentagon from going to the FBI] supposedly provided a disincentive for sharing intelligence with law enforcement.

The law [that prevented the Pentagon from going to the FBI] supposedly provided a disincentive for sharing intelligence with law enforcement. [Get ready for the “civil liberties caused this intel failure” ad nauseum.]

The law, it was claimed, bars US citizens and green-card holders from being targeted for intelligence-collection operations

The explanation was disingenuous. “Mohammed Atta and his terrorist cohorts were clearly and factually established as Al-Qaeda functionaries of a foreign government [Taliban of Afghanistan] with Al-Qaeda itself being a Designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (DFTO)”, noted Sean Osborne of the US Army’s Program Executive Office – Command, Control, Communications Tactical (PEOC3T) within the Special Project Office (SPO).

“Designated terrorist’s do not receive and retain ‘green card’ status, and any card so previously attained would have to be considered a priori fraudulent, null and void,” Osborne stated.

In fact, there are 13 exceptions within Executive Order 12333 allowing intelligence-collection on US Persons and bona-fide green card-holders, including for Counterintelligence purposes, allowing for collection of against individuals reasonably suspected of involvement in international terrorism, as well as their associates.

Wow!

Bush’s Testicle-Brain Solves Health Care Crisis Today

Let’s start my Bush-bashing with the Democrat’s solution to Bushco, this in reaction to this hilarious article on Bushco domestic policies:
Put taxes back to where Clinton had them to create some stability in the markets so that Americans can have some confidence in a safety net, one way or another, with or without the “War of Terra.”  (Speaking of that, I personally would like to refocus back on Bin Laden and his Cheney-trained band of thugs, but religious zealots have a nice gentleman’s deal not to attack their fellow fascist theocracies.)

Meanwhile everyday Americans are hoping that politicians will help ensure that health care will be provided without financially ruining an entire extended family’s lives when their loved one gets sick or has an accident, that social security will be there when they are old, especially if a health care crisis wiped them out, and most importantly, that an economy with jobs HERE IN AMERICA will be there so that they can take care of themselves if possible.

More..
So, now, today, testicle-brain-boy Bush is trying the “I feel your pain” approach to promote his horrid policies.  Doesn’t have anything to do with crashing poll numbers, especially now that everyone knows that Bush is just another lying figurehead, however lying about Cheney Mujahadeen connections (Cheney’s buds trained Bin Laden), lying about WMD to promote the Mujahadeen’s agenda (deal with the devil type thing), and lying about the jobs flying overseas, are quite another matter compared to, say, Clinton’s lies about what the meaning of “is” is…  And now, we all even know that Bushco intentionally let boogey-man Bin Laden, Cheney’s proudest Mujahadeen trainee, go free in Tora Bora…

What would they do without their boogeyman and besides, they did make that deal with the devil back in 1980’s Afghanistan (Cheney training, arming, kissing-up-to Bin Laden and such ilk)?

Anyhow, Bushco was back to domestic policy today: Bush’s handlers had him claim that “..we’re more concerned about energy prices and health care prices.”  Ha!  Double Ha Ha!

The Oilman feels your pain America.  

This after their massive giveaway to oil companies who are enjoying the largest profits in their history; all the while, we the little people suffer under the Oilman Presidency.

…Little testicle-brain boy made me laugh when he also pitched today:

  1. making permanent the soon-to-sunset tax cuts in the face of Baby Boomers’ retirement and current massive deficits,
  2. providing medical-liability damage caps to fix health care, testicle-brain boy decided to wade into the long-time Republican non-action on the health care crisis now that Newty is talking it up on this topic, and,
  3. quite hilariously and to top off Neo-Con Neo-Fascist Bush’s testicle-brained policy pitch, he made yet another pitch for his failed social security policy to, get this, help with the health care crisis … yes, that health care crisis Republicans have created by ignoring it since Hillary’s unsuccessful and shortsighted attempt at universal health care.

Time to *Stop Running the World* Republican Taliban

The online publication of the oldest Bible in the world, from the bloody 4th century when the modern christians massacred their competition, the Gnostics, who preceded them will help along a major historic realignment of the story of Jesus… this publication, to occur in the next few years, will include the outlawed Apocryphal gospels (much to the chagrine of the American Taliban and Fascists Intl. I am quite sure):

The Codex is an iconic and historic document which dates from the period when the Roman Empire split and the Emperor Constantine, who ruled the Eastern Empire, adopted Christianity. Greek heritage dominated this Empire and the Codex was produced in response to the wish to gather together Greek versions of the principal Jewish and Christian scriptures. It is the earliest surviving book to encompass in one volume the great wealth of texts that have come to be recognised as forming the Christian Bible. It marks a dramatic shift from a culture in which texts were transmitted in scrolls to the bound book.  <snip>.

We will see a scholar-based race to unveil the actual history of Jesus and the movement that he lead as more and more incontrovertible proof hits the world stage…

Flash history:  Many of the original christian documents were outlawed, including the Apocrypha, some of which includes Gnostic writings which predated even the apostolic writings of the modern New Testament (and so were thus a more accurate reflection of Jesus’ actual era)… Just read up on Saint Stephen, who said “the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands” and that “Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place [the temple], and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us,” this exposed right in the current, highly-edited “Bible” .. just read about the murdered Stephen, by American Taliban nutjobs, for proof of the downplayed rebel movement against government tyranny that has been suppressed by the martyr-, crucifixion- obsessed “church” all these centuries..

This emerging alternate history of Jesus, one that has Jesus a champion of women as well as of the poor, was buried, albeit not very successfully (see above Stephen quotes) in the current highly edited martyr-obsessed, “orthodox” version of events as gnostic scholar Elaine Pagels calls the murderous post-Nicene thugs

…so, bluster and failed imperialism aside, people everywhere can rest assured that the Jerry Falwells and the “Family” Research Council freak cult sects as well as the Catholic, Hannity breed of fascist cult sects have a RUDE AWAKENING coming, in the form of the TRUTH.  

The true story of Jesus will be solidifying in the next decade and it will be a much different picture than what the great Council of Nicea Texas-chainsaw-massacre editors did to this story of the greatest champion of the poor that ever walked the earth…
