Undo Un-American, Oppressive Bushie Law
Undo Un-American, Oppressive Bushie Law
The Military Commissions Act and the USA Patriot Act will go down in history as some of the worst legislation in United States History: right up there with Prohibition and the Aliens and Sedition Act. Why? Because the Military Commissions act does away with Posse Comitatus, which makes it illegal to use Armed Forces against Americans here at home. Another thing it does is negate the principal of Habeas Corpus, which has been part of our system of laws since the signing of the Magna Carta 792 years ago. It is a slap in the face of all Americans, as is the continued reign of this illegal, murderous administration.
We can work now to undo some of the damage done by the Military Commissions Act.
Work with Senator Patrick Leahy, D-VT to pass the Habeas Corpus Restoration Amendment:
Help me avert a potential filibuster against this crucial legislation: Tell your home-state Senators to support the Habeas Corpus Restoration Amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.

False Flag Bullshit
False Flag Bullshit
What is it?
False Flag means an attack under a false flag, oftentimes committed by a government in order to further it's own crimes.
Next time there is a terrorist warning, an arrest, an uncovered plot, or (under the worst circumstances) an actual violent incident,
CONSIDER the POSSIBILITY of a FALSE FLAG attack.
Then, when they start talking about martial law, or the need to activate the draft, or just the need to go off and bomb people somewhere,
Consider that you are being BULLSHITTED.
AGAIN.
And Realize, THIS IS NO BULLSHIT. These people mean you harm.
Impeachment is MUST-DO. Our Republic depends on it.

Impeach Now
Or Face the End of Constitutional Democracy
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
07/17/07 "ICH ' -- -- Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran.
Bush has put in place all the necessary measures for dictatorship in the form of "executive orders" that are triggered whenever Bush declares a national emergency. Recent statements by Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff, former Republican senator Rick Santorum and others suggest that Americans might expect a series of staged, or false flag, "terrorist" events in the near future.
Many attentive people believe that the reason the Bush administration will not bow to expert advice and public opinion and begin withdrawing US troops from Iraq is that the administration intends to rescue its unpopular position with false flag operations that can be used to expand the war to Iran.
Too much is going wrong for the Bush administration: the failure of its Middle East wars, Republican senators jumping ship, Turkish troops massed on northern Iraq's border poised for an invasion to deal with Kurds, and a majority of Americans favoring the impeachment of Cheney and a near-majority favoring Bush's impeachment. The Bush administration desperately needs dramatic events to scare the American people and the Congress back in line with the militarist-police state that Bush and Cheney have fostered.
William Norman Grigg recently wrote that the GOP is "praying for a terrorist strike" to save the party from electoral wipeout in 2008.
Chertoff, Cheney, the neocon nazis, and Mossad would have no qualms about saving the bacon for the Republicans, who have enabled Bush to start two unjustified wars, with Iran waiting in the wings to be attacked in a third war.
The Bush administration has tried unsuccessfully to resurrect the terrorist fear factor by infiltrating some blowhard groups and encouraging them to talk about staging "terrorist" events. The talk, encouraged by federal agents, resulted in "terrorist" arrests hyped by the media, but even the captive media was unable to scare people with such transparent sting operations.
If the Bush administration wants to continue its wars in the Middle East and to entrench the "unitary executive" at home, it will have to conduct some false flag operations that will both frighten and anger the American people and make them accept Bush's declaration of "national emergency" and the return of the draft. Alternatively, the administration could simply allow any real terrorist plot to proceed without hindrance.
A series of staged or permitted attacks would be spun by the captive media as a vindication of the neoconsevatives' Islamophobic policy, the intention of which is to destroy all Middle Eastern governments that are not American puppet states. Success would give the US control over oil, but the main purpose is to eliminate any resistance to Israel's complete absorption of Palestine into Greater Israel.
Think about it. If another 9/11-type "security failure" were not in the works, why would Homeland Security czar Chertoff go to the trouble of convincing the Chicago Tribune that Americans have become complacent about terrorist threats and that he has "a gut feeling" that America will soon be hit hard?
Why would Republican warmonger Rick Santorum say on the Hugh Hewitt radio show that "between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public's (sic) going to have a very different view of this war."
Throughout its existence the US government has staged incidents that the government then used in behalf of purposes that it could not otherwise have pursued. According to a number of writers, false flag operations have been routinely used by the Israeli state. During the Czarist era in Russia, the secret police would set off bombs in order to arrest those the secret police regarded as troublesome. Hitler was a dramatic orchestrator of false flag operations. False flag operations are a commonplace tool of governments.
Ask yourself: Would a government that has lied us into two wars and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging "terrorist" attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda?
Only a diehard minority believes in the honesty and integrity of the Bush-Cheney administration and in the truthfulness of the corporate media.
Hitler, who never achieved majority support in a German election, used the Reichstag fire to fan hysteria and push through the Enabling Act, which made him dictator. Determined tyrants never require majority support in order to overthrow constitutional orders.
The American constitutional system is near to being overthrown. Are coming "terrorist" events of which Chertoff warns and Santorum promises the means for overthrowing our constitutional democracy?

In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, Scott Ritter--a former U.S. Marine and UN weapons inspector--spent hours speaking to antiwar forums across the country and around the world. He was struck by the sincerity of the vast majority of those who call themselves antiwar, and impressed by their willingness to devote themselves so fully to such a noble cause. But with the United States now in its fourth year of an illegal war and occupation of Iraq and with the pro-war movement moving inexorably towards yet another disastrous conflict with Iran, there is an increasing awareness that the antiwar movement seems lost.
What to do?
Ritter proposes that the antiwar movement learn from those whose philosophies they would usually reject; from Caesar to Napoleon, Sun Tzu to Clausewitz. In the vein of Rules for Radicals and The Art of War, Ritter argues for the need to study the "enemy" to learn the art of campaigning, of waging battles only when necessary, and of having the ability to wage struggle on several fronts simultaneously. By better understanding how the pro-war movement operates, the antiwar movement can get inside the decision-making cycle of its forces and maximize its own resources, to achieve victory in a struggle that will define the future of America and the world.

Antiwar Radio: Charles Goyette Interviews Scott Ritter
Sunday, May 27th, 2007 in News, Iran, Antiwar Radio, Iraq by Charles Goyette|
Scott Ritter, author of Target Iran and Waging Peace: The Art of War for the Antiwar Movement, discusses the irrationality of Bush’s Iraq policy, the Democrats betrayal of the Antiwar Left, Mitt Romney’s fit over ABC News’ reporting Cheney’s leak of the finding authorizing CIA action against Iran, the pretext of Iran’s nuclear program as the excuse to bomb them, Pelosi and Reid’s complicity in that upcoming war and John Boehner’s blubbering crocodile tears.
MP3 here. (19:18)
As a chief weapons inspector for the United Nations Special Commission in Iraq, Scott Ritter was labeled a hero by some, a maverick by others, and a spy by the Iraqi government. In charge of searching out weapons of mass destruction within Iraq, Ritter was on the front lines of the ongoing battle against arms proliferation. His experience in Iraq served as the basis for his book Endgame, which explored the shortcomings of American foreign policy in the Persian Gulf region and alternative approaches to handling the Iraqi crisis, and for Iraq Confidential, which detailed his seven year experience as a weapons inspector.
Scott Ritter has had an extensive and distinguished career in government service. He is an intelligence specialist with a 12-year career in the U.S. Marine Corps including assignments in the former Soviet Union and the Middle East. Rising to the rank of Major, Ritter spent several months of the Gulf War serving under General Norman Schwarzkopf with US Central Command headquarters in Saudi Arabia, where he played an instrumental role in formulating and implementing combat operations targeting Iraqi mobile missile launchers which threatened Israel.
In 1991, Ritter joined the United Nations weapons inspections team, or UNSCOM. He participated in 34 inspection missions, 14 of them as chief inspector. Ritter resigned from UNSCOM in August 1998, citing US interference in the work of the inspections.
He is the author of many books, including “Iraq Confidential: The Untold Story of the Intelligence Conspiracy to Undermine the UN and Overthrow Saddam Hussein” and most recently “Target Iran: The Truth About the White House’s Plans for Regime Change.” He lives in New York State. Ritter was born in Florida, and raised all over the world in a career military family. He is a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, with a B.A. in Soviet History.

Scott Ritter: The Art of War for the Antiwar Movement (audio)
Posted by mrspickles on June 7th, 2007
Scott Ritter, candidly analyzes the weaknesses in progressive movements for peace and justice. Based on Sun Tsu’s The Art of War, and other approaches to waging war, Ritter suggests the antiwar movement wage peace with the same ferocity and strategy that pro-war and anti-social forces wage war.
