"The Rant" by Tom Degan: Bush and Cheney's Private Gestapo

The News We Lose While Americans Snooze

Your military industrial complex is hard at work, while your main stream media is acting like jerks to ignore it. They are setting the stage for the next 9/11, while some celebrity gets all the headlines. A brief blip. A quick explanation. A mistake is claimed (an unacknowledged first!) A revision of the facts. First there were six and now there are five. And...someone in the USAF has stolen a nuclear weapon.

Six nuclear weapons are locked and loaded on a jet in Minot, ND. 13.5 hours later (after a 3.5 hour trip,) five nuclear weapons are discovered locked and loaded on a jet in Barksdale, LA.

To write this off as a mistake is to overlook the frothing at the mouth for a war with Iran by the Resident and his puppet master. The domino's are in place for martial law on the homefront. I used to be paranoid. Lately, I'm just sad.

Now...into the circle file.

A Public Service Announcement.

Call in your vote TODAY for impeaching Bush and Cheney at this number: 202-225-0100

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office is taking calls voting for Impeachment of Bush/Cheney at 202-225-0100. PLEASE CALL TODAY. At the toll free capitol switchboard #s below, you can also call your particular district’s congressional representative to insist that they support impeachment for Cheney. E.g., for Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s H Res 333 for Cheney; please say:

“In addition to supporting Kucinich’s bill H Res 333, I would also support a similar Impeachment Resolution against Bush, especially after the disgraceful Scooter Libby sentence “commuting” and the following issues: wiretapping, torture, numerous 9/11 intelligence misrepresentations, the continued occupation of Iraq, gross negligence during Hurrican Katrina, the Valerie Plame CIA leak, […list your other grounds…] ..”[see resolutions on tab #2 for other grounds for impeachment]).

LANIC requests that Americans call today…Not tomorrow or next week. Every call adds to the extraordinary grasswoots and nationwide movement’s pressures on House Speaker Pelosi to act now .before further innocent lives are lost in Iraq and elsewhere. Last week 28 Americans lost their lives. Over the July 4, 2007 weekend over 400 Iraqis lost their lives…

SEND MAIL TO HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Attn: Nancy Pelosi, House Representative/Speaker of the House, 235 Cannon H.O.B., Washington, DC 20515 ; Pelosi’s Fax # 202 225-8259

Pelosi’s e-mail address :

Americanvoices@mail.house.gov

CC her at: sf.nancy@mail.house.gov

Please send her a pro-impeachment email and a specific call to endorse H Res 333. Note: On Saturdays/Sundays, Pelosi’s office has a comment line at which you can leave a voicemail. Your message will be transcribed and relayed to her. Please do encourage your family/friends to contact the same number. Refer them to www.bcimpeach.com for the actual telephone #s & contact info.

Find out who your Congressional representative is and call that person. For toll free numbers to your Congress rep: (800) 828 – 0498; (800) 459 – 1887; or (866) 340 – 9281. You will be connected once you name your congress person. The staff aid should take detailed notes and provided to the Congressional representative.

Final Note: Please say “I support Impeachment based on ____. I’d like to know where “[representative name]” stands on this issue.” Let’s strike while the Libby fury keeps the iron hot! Please call and Act Now!

Bushcronium is discovered...

• NEW ELEMENT "Du" DISCOVERED
A major research institution (probably funded by a government subsidy) has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named "Bushcronium". Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.

These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. The symbol for Bushcronium is "Du", as the symbol "W" was already taken by Tungsten.

Bushcronium' s mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons in a Bushcronium molecule, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Bushcronium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass".

When catalyzed with money, Bushcronium activates Foxnewsium, an element that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has 1/2 as many peons but twice as many morons.

The "nucular" reaction alluded to below where Du combines with Foxnewsium (Fx) when bombarded by a moron beam yields: Du + m (morons) + Fx = DumFx which is sometimes phonetically pronounced to describe the nature of the isodope produced.

Although Faux Noise is the only “news” element mentioned in the formula, any other “news” element, i.e., CNN, ABC, CBS, WoPo, WSJ, etc., could be used just as well and get the same isodope.

Not my writing, but someone out there has hit it squarely, helping us understand a little better why we are being spun to death - including folks that should have known better when they were spun by the redhouse on WMD.

I found it in the comments section of an AlterNet post.

Defining Progress in Iraq

Political progress in Iraq looks like this:

Read the "liberal" New York Times and you get an other apologetic explanation of progress in Iraq in behalf of the criminals in Washington in a prominent story there today.


If, instead, you wish to inform yourself as to the truth, then Cris Floyd once again provides the most apt description of the ongoing bloodbath that is Iraq. More eloquently than any other author I'm aware of,, he lays out the nuts and bolts of the on going crime the Resident and his cabal are engaged in. And still, as yet only three members of congress have signed up to Impeach. Our Grand Children will not be impressed.

Herein he compares the debacle in Iraq to enabling Ted Bundy in a killing spree. I wish he lacked material for his florid prose.

To Know Now, Learn History

Been suffering with a slow connection, my high speed's on the blink, so I've been sitting on the sidelines, but...


Harold Pinter, a Nobel laureate, first gives you 13 or 14 paragraphs written by him in '58 outlining his take on truth in fiction and it's OK to skip it. What follows is first a synopsis of American history as it should be taught in High School:

The United States supported and in many cases engendered every right wing military dictatorship in the world after the end of the Second World War. I refer to Indonesia, Greece, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Haiti, Turkey, the Philippines, Guatemala, El Salvador, and, of course, Chile. The horror the United States inflicted upon Chile in 1973 can never be purged and can never be forgiven.

That is how US foreign policy used to wage war. The Resident has taken it to an other level:

The United States no longer bothers about low intensity conflict. It no longer sees any point in being reticent or even devious. It puts its cards on the table without fear or favour. It quite simply doesn't give a damn about the United Nations, international law or critical dissent, which it regards as impotent and irrelevant. It also has its own bleating little lamb tagging behind it on a lead, the pathetic and supine Great Britain.

The way I reckon, the reason why is well explained by PR Watch in this article. The military Industrial Complex and it's entertainment value on the MSM.

Smoke & Mirrors pt 2

The last of my rants at the Residents mumbles, lies, and promise of war, and of more war to come. Invading Afganistan, Iraq, and Somalia weren't enough. He wants to make a mess in Iran also. All the while driving the USA into bankruptcy.

From the time he entered adulthood(?) he has done one thing consistantly. The one thing he has never failed at doing is failing at whatever he is doing. Couldn't even find oil in Texas. Only time he ever made any money in business was when he did some insider trading. Seeing as how his dad was the Resident at that time, the investigation was dropped. Must be nice. Well, if you don't have a conscience that is.

So, he failed in Afganistan. Then he failed in Iraq. Then he failed in New Orleans. I'm sure his adventure in Somalia will be a failure. As for his coming failure in Iran, I'm afraid that will be his ultimate failure and the beginning of a world wide nuclear war. Started by a man who cannot utter a coherent sentence without cue cards. Do the fools who control him think they will escape the fallout?

The depth our nation has sunk to.

On national TV, On "Meet the Press," I quote from the New York Times, what came from the lips of a very vile man, Steven Hadley:

Mr. Bush's National Security Adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, said in an interview on "Meet the Press" on NBC that the White House has sufficient money under its control to deploy the troops as planned, and he suggested that once the troops are in place, Congress would be reluctant to cut off funding.

"I think once they get in harm's way, Congress's tradition is to support those troops," Mr. Hadley said.

If you've been wondering how low, how reprehensible the governing office could get, look no further. This piece of slime actually said that Sunday morning on National TV.

After the soldiers are harmed they have this to look forward to:

Defense Department officials have laid off most of their case workers who help severely injured service members, sources said.

And the Nation slumbers on. I think it's time to wake our congress critters up:

Who is driving the bus?

So, I watched the ending of the playoffs, Colts vs. Patriots and the CEO and the head coach, both gave the glory and credit of the win to God. I assume they meant a Christian God of one denomination or another. Maybe even a particular denomination. After all, some of them are very jealous and intransigent in their insistence on being the only correct interpreters of the Bible. I can only wonder, were they judging the losing team to be less Christian, less devout, or merely members of the wrong congregation.

And meanwhile we have this: Lobbying for Armageddon. More than one of these self righteous sects are egging on the “End Times.” More than one. I can only imagine how scared, how empty and unfulfilled a person’s life must be, to attempt to find solace and community only to end up among a group of people whose aim is to destroy the world. Of course, they will get whisked away, just before the bad stuff happens to all those who don’t ascribe to their particular doctrine.

So here we are. Getting ready to make war on Iran. Nuclear war. The Resident has destroyed our armed forces in Iraq and the only tool left in his tool box is the nuclear option and since he has his bomb shelter, he’s not worried about the fallout. The wing nuts think he’ll bring them along (Ha. Ha.) The religious wackos are willing sacrifices to their dogmatic leaders. Our congress critters are beholden to the (supposedly non-existent) Jewish lobby (for campaign money) which is willing to bomb Iran on their own if we won’t.

On a different note: A huge event unfolded in Memphis the other weekend and not even c-span covered it. Big media is big business and even though the airways are ours, they ignore us. A bunch of videos are at that link for your educational pleasure.

And my latest You Tube rant!

Bush Speaks World Cries

We need to let Keith O. know he's not alone. His latest rant speaks Truth to Power with a rarity in media and exposes him to the Machiavellian antics of the Residences' minions. As soon as I finish my slow upload to YouTube I'll link my third rate rant to add my voice. A single voice is quickly quashed, but if the millions of us who wish we could use words like Keith simple say out loud that we agree with him, then his voice stands a better chance of remaining.

To claim the Resident is insane misses the point. For me his insanity lies along with the many in the stock market who look for short term monetary gains regardless of the long term consequences. He is willing to start WW3 for the sake of the Carlyle Group's profit margins thinking he has enough money to escape the fallout. Someone needs to give him a DVD of "On the Beach," a movie from the late fifties that accurately portrays the results of nuclear war. The effects will not be localized by wishful thinking.

Although the MSM won't talk about it, the US invaded Iran when they raided their consulate the other day. That is an act of War. An other illegal war. The Resident just can't get enough of it. As long as it is not his life on the line.
