Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 http://www.antiwar.com/roberts/?articleid=10498 Criminals Control the U.S. Executive Branch by Paul Craig Roberts Gentle reader, you are probably unaware of former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski's damning indictment of the Bush Regime in his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 1, 2007, as the United States no longer has a media – only a government propaganda ministry. Brzezinski damned the Bush Regime's war in Iraq as "a historic, strategic, and moral calamity." Brzezinski damned the war as "driven by Manichean impulses and imperial hubris." He damned the war for "intensifying regional instability" and for "undermining America's global legitimacy." Finally, a voice with weight speaks. Brzezinski is a real intellect, a real expert, unlike the political hacks who have followed him in the office. Brzezinski told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that "the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam." Brzezinski predicts "some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a 'defensive' U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan." There is something deadly wrong with a society and a political system that permits a regime capable of such insane and criminal "leadership" to remain in power. By the time Hitler launched World War II, the German Reichstag had no power to prevent him. But we have not yet reached that point in the United States. Brzezinski concludes his testimony with the statement that it is "time for the Congress to assert itself." The reasons for impeaching Bush and Cheney exceed by many multiples all the reasons for impeaching every president combined in US history. The reasons have been enumerated many times and do not need repeating. If members of Congress were faithful to their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution, Bush and Cheney would already have been impeached and convicted. The very least Congress can do at this very late stage is to make it perfectly clear in no uncertain terms that any attack on Iran under any pretext without the authorization of Congress after a careful examination of the pretext will lead to the immediate removal of Bush and Cheney from power, as will any escalation of the war in Iraq without explicit authorization by Congress. Having delivered this ultimatum, Congress must immediately begin investigations of the Bush Regime's attack on civil liberties and the separation of powers, on the Bush Regime's use of lies and deception to lead America into a war with Iraq, on the Bush Regime's violation of the Geneva Conventions, and on the Bush Regime's plans to attack Iran. The American people and their representatives in Congress must face the fact that criminal and dictatorial persons control executive power in the United States and immediately rectify this highly dangerous situation.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 This is interesting. The American people and their representatives in Congress must face the fact that criminal and dictatorial persons control executive power in the United States and immediately rectify this highly dangerous situation. I have one more " tidbit " that I just came across recently to point up the attacks on the foreign policy. It's a scathing testimonial towards the cold motives and actions of the government for gains without a heart. It supports the Rahu aspecting the first mep of the Scorpio chart. Also, the Moon, dispositor of Rahu is in Capricorn, a businesslike and cold sign. 15 minutes of madness. Blog: Think With Your Heart Post: Rockefeller Admitted Elite Goal Of Microchipped Population Link: http://thinkwithyourheart.blogspot.com/2007/02/rockefeller-admitted-elite-goal-of.html I'm not sure anything but out and out revolution would remedy this, however one can work outside the government. Though the nodes are operating in the field of the operating bhukti of Saturn, happiness and the public. Maybe by the fall the US will get a little more philosophical about it's gains when the Mercury subperiod comes along. If not then there is the Ketu period to follow. Aloha, Sally P.S. What's more interesting to me, is the idea of a Scorpio lagna, the Saturn in the house of friends, business! And real estate.
