Viewing Government / The Elite NEWS articles 1 through 57 of 57.
- Wars are not waged by those who have to fight them. Those who fight wars know too well their terrible costs. Wars are waged by those who profit from them with minimal or no risk to themselves. War is big business and it is immensely profitable for a select few who are insulated from the effects of war’s environmental impacts and social costs. War never serves the interest of working class people. They are the result of menacing forces of greed and power masquerading as benevolent government, insulating us from contrived acts of terror.
- So this policy will be in place right up until the next election? Election? Let's just say that we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. It may not be wise to have an election in a time of national peril. - Not one of the reporters who got to ask a question thought to (or dared to) ask Bush how he dared to compare his scratch to the serious injuries of soldiers he had sent off to battle, even in jest.
- by Daniel Hopsicker - ...appearances to the contrary, "The Big Fix 2006" may already be in on the Republican big money scandals. The show may be over before it began.
- Lobbying is Washington's grubby secret. Some say lobbying is part of the democratic process. Others claim it is legalised bribery, even corruption. But love it or loathe it, it is the way Washington works. - ...there's the ethical issues with this so-called journalist hanging out in (and helping with) such a blatantly partisan event. It's again obvious that his schmoozing with the rich and powerful have hampered his ability to commentate on those issues properly detached and rational. He's been co-opted by the DeLay/Abramoff machine.
- Why, for real diversity, the news is proudly reporting there were even some Democrats. You know, people like Robert McNamara, the guy who helped plan the firebombing deaths of hundreds of thousands of Japanese...
- A Look at Jack Abramoff's Ties to the South Pacific Island of Saipan & How Tom DeLay Became An Advocate for Sweatshop Factory Owners - ...not only did he spread his illicitly gained money around the halls of Washington, but the illegally occupied territories of the West Bank as well. - This is the company that the White House keeps. It’s not Robertson I worry about. It’s Bush. - ...for Dick Cheney, living like an emperor is what Dan Quayle used to call "another lifestyle choice."
- I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who served as chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney until his October 28 indictment and subsequent resignation, has joined the Hudson Institute as a senior adviser...
- President Bush’s meeting Thursday with most of the living former secretaries of state and defense was a public relations spectacle aimed at demonstrating the consensus in official Washington behind continuing the US occupation of Iraq. - John Yoo publicly argued there is no law that could prevent the President from ordering the torture of a child of a suspect in custody – including by crushing that child’s testicles.
- MoveOn is nothing more than a cover for the Democratic Party. Issues are no matter. Partisan politics are. We’ve got a war going on and advocacy groups who allegedly oppose it should stand up to it, not pander to those who do. - An unprecedented series of indictments alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity, in five separate areas, on moral, political, and legal grounds, will be delivered by a citizens' tribunal to President Bush at the front gate of the White House this Tuesday, January 10th. - ...a few quick facts showing the size and scope of this burgeoning Washington, DC industry.
- Washington sleazebag funneled money to Israel's "settler" movement
- It’s not newsworthy that Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann Bomgardner, "got choked up," as World Views characterized it, when "Senate Judiciary Democrats … grilled, insulted, and defamed" the shoo-in nominee, although it was in fact Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham who made her bawl (Alito’s spouse needs to grow a spine and understand Washington is a pit of poisonous vipers and, besides, after her husband eagerly and dutifully facilitates the ongoing evisceration of the Constitution, she likely will not shed a tear). - The families of gangsters and thugs often cry when their loved ones are outed as the despicable scoundrels they truly are.
- The Department of Labor has a "Special Assistant for Conservative Outreach" - Rice was appointed as Secretary of State precisely because, as a Christian Zionist, she considers Israel her spiritual “home” and (although not stated in her official capacity) her theological and political belief that Palestine is the national homeland of the Jews. - Army's chief ethics expert was murdered, according to Carlyle Group insider. - Hundreds of thousands of poor Americans have had their tax refunds frozen and their returns labeled fraudulent, according to the IRS's taxpayer advocate, Nina Olson. Testifying before Congress this week, Olson said the average income of these taxpayers is $13,000. Olson and her staff sampled the suspected returns and found that, at most, one in five was questionable.
- Actually, the entire "dramedy" has been a huge waste of time--except for the little woman's tears. And let me add that when I refer to Martha-Ann Bomgardner as the little woman, I do this because we have all been made aware of Samuel's disdain for his wife's gender. - Someone at one time coined a little phrase in an attempt to sum up the Bilderberg Group and it goes like this: The Bilderberg Group is a "little clique of powerful men who meet secretly and plan..." Scary little phrase, isn't it.. - No kidding. America is marching in lockstep towards a depression that was planned at the highest levels of government.
- - Part I - All roads lead to Piazza San Pietro when it comes to power, leadership and initiation into the devious and diabolical Illuminati. In the 1980's, the Vatican Bank Scandal brought to light the connections between the Freemasons/Illuminati, the Vatican and the mafia.
- - Part II - Born into the Illuminati, Svali says her Vatican initiation ceremony at the age of 12 involved child sacrificing and a promise to serve "The Family or Order" for life. - It is as if we have all fallen down the rabbit hole and landed in the middle of the world's largest insane tea party. With nonsensical answerless riddles, and preposterous double-speak as the daily party line. We have our own "Mad Hatter" resident in the White House, presiding over the insane global policy of death and destruction.
- Although White House spokesliar Scott McClellan claims lobbyist/crook du jour Jack Abramoff only met with administration staff two or three times, the scandal ridden buyer of influence enjoyed frequent private meetings with President George W. Bush, who referred to Abramoff as "one of this administration’s greatest friends." - The semi-oppositional stance of the Democrats to Bush takes as its starting point a common agreement between the two parties that the U.S. should be able to dominate the world. The worry is that Bush, despite the rhetoric, isn't doing a very good job. - In all of documented human history, the lesson that mankind has steadfastly failed to learn is that you cannot allow aristocrats and wealth to rule over mankind. Freedom is taken, first and foremost, and oppressive rule by the few always becomes dictatorial and brutal – ALWAYS. - Tom DeLay’s Jewish friends — and enemies — can expect the same friendliness to Israel and affection for faith-based funding from whomever replaces him as majority leader in the U.S. House of Representatives.
- There is something our government knows; there is something our government is planning; there is something about to happen that they are preparing for and not telling us about. It has little to do with foreign terrorism. Someone is preparing to survive at the expense of someone else. - The Nazi regime of George W. Bush has huge advantages over that of Adolf Hitler's; namely, virtual control over all the American media. - Abramoff connects directly to extreme right-wing Zionists, which is where we should be looking when we see the bizarre and otherwise inexplicable attempts by the United States to cause 'regime change' in Syria.
- According to South African intelligence sources, convicted GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff was a long-time intelligence asset for South Africa's apartheid era security services. - ...the media overlooked a very important aspect of the photo, and that is that 14 of the 17 policymakers in the picture currently belong to the Council on Foreign Relations. - ...including an appearance by Prince Philip
- She wants permanent bases in Iraq – and threatens war with Iran - East Coast activists want to build the "Lost Liberty Inn" on the property of U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter. The measure is on the March 14 ballot in the small town of Weare NH, where Souter resides. - ...nobody in a position to affect the outcome of the case apparently wants to leave Casino Jack Abramoff totally without recourse, facing life behind without parole...Because under those circumstances, nobody knows who he might drop a dime on. And that's when the Abramoff Scandal might, truly, go rogue. - ...the Congressional pension program is about two-to-three times more generous than the average corporate executive pension plan, according to the National Taxpayers Union. - ...this is all bad enough… but to top it off, Bush appointed Death Squads Negroponte as the Top Spymaster. He has access to all the NSA spying data, with limited Congressional Oversight.
- The Bush killing machine is no secret overseas, as a coalition of legal experts based in Canada want to put Bush and his band of renegades behind bars. Too bad American jurists don't have the guts to do the same!
- Now that the confirmation of Samuel Alito is a done deal—he won commitments from a majority of senators this afternoon and only a formal vote stands between him and the Supreme Court—we can say good-bye once and for all to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. - Working class people, especially progressives, must come to understand that our interests are not being served by hitching our political wagons to either the Democratic or the Republican Party. The Republicrats represent a capitalist system that has given rise to class division, the unequal distribution of wealth, private ownership, and a system of wage slavery that does not serve democracy, but plutocracy. It condemns workers to being the property of their employers.
- The long historical racist mentality, accentuated through the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, has allowed countless political types and racist individuals like Jack Abramoff to defraud Native tribes of billions of dollars. - Congress folk from both sides of the aisle have seen with their own eyes what happens to those who stand up to the Bush Crime Family. It’s not just the ballot box or place of employment where people who oppose the Bush Mafia lose. People in positions of power are eliminated. Consider...
- An FBI source has confirmed the destruction of public records by Jeb Bush may be in response to the ongoing criminal proceedings against GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff... - ...no one in the corporate media...seems to have noticed this glaring self-indictment. - ...WHITE HOUSE MEDDLING IN ABRAMOFF CASE REQUIRES APPT OF INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE COUNSEL
- President George W. Bush says Bill Clinton has become so close to his father that the Democratic former president is like a member of the family. - Alito presents a Rockwell- like demeanor of a normal American or at least the ideal of one: calm, reasoned, and assured. His demeanor is soothing like a good hit of Prozac, but like Prozac, there are serious side affects. - ...Bush is presiding over a self-serving delusion, in concert with a self-emasculating Congress, his partners as would-be war profiteers. Anticipating tomorrow night, one could say Bush will, on this question, be lying to the American people again. But that would presume he is not first lying to himself. State of war? No. State of the Union? Catastrophe, pure and simple. - Jackboots of the Church
