Rove Resignation Not End Of Road?

The man many refer to as "Bush's Brain" and the one Bush called "The Architect" has turned out certainly to have been the greatest architect of adversity to ever guide the political decisions of a President in the history of the institution.

That he won many elections for Bush, no one would doubt, but with such small margins it was a rough rub for most that he advised the President to rule as if he had a mandate. One thing for sure, we will never know what kind of Presidency would have occurred without the catalytic events of 911.

Inevitable, ineffectual investigations into the inside of the longest string of American political corruption in history have only touched the surface of a beast of many heads. As Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove resigns, many proclaim this is the end of the trail, but it is not enough for him or any other traitors to simply quit their low paying government jobs only to parachute into a huge, high paying private sector opportunities.

Just as the death of Hitler was not the end of worldwide fascism, Rove moving into an undercover position will not end the deepest and widest corruption ever to hit Washington and consequently, billions around the world.

It would be our biggest mistake to forgive what he and many others have done simply because of this symbolic act of contrition. Even as scapegoats go, Libby being convicted then pardoned, was no justice. Rove resigning is no less a thud amidst demands by the public for a resounding solution.

Recently, when asked whether he was leaving to avoid congressional scrutiny, Karl Rove told the WSJ: “I’m not going to stay or leave based on whether it pleases the mob.” And Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has made clear he’s not going to determine his subpoenas based on whether Rove stays or leaves.

Leahy issued the following statement this morning, explaining the Senate Judiciary Committee “will continue its investigation” into Rove...

"The list of senior White House and Justice Department
officials who have resigned during the course of these congressional
investigations continues to grow, and today, Mr. Rove added his name to that list. There is a cloud over this White House, and a gathering storm. A similar cloud envelopes Mr. Rove, even as he leaves the White House."

From the outside it diverts attention away from the remaining cancer, when we cut away only one of the tumors. Sadly, in this case the analogy would be more accurate to suggest one of the tumors has simply been moved into hiding. America is screaming for the cure and they are giving us aspirin.

There is no doubt this is not the end of Rove's influence on this or other despots. As easily as a housewife can do telemarketing from the home, Rove can continue to advise crimes, lies and deceit comfortably from his home while he continues to draw a government paycheck for rest of his life. He will now be free to accept money legally from conspiratorial thinktanks like PNAC (Project for the New American Century) and from other campaigns who wish to cheat their ways into office.

Rove has left behind him a President, Vice President, Attorney General and hundreds if not thousands of co-conspirators scattered throughout the executive branch. He has illegally invoked "Executive Privilege" in order to avoid accountability for his crimes, and like a little boy who burns down the house, he simply runs away and thinks all is forgiven.

Nothing has changed. Justice has not been done, and those who have committed the highest crimes ever are simply being ushered out quietly and their silence is being taken as a poor substitute for solution.

Let's make this clear. 150 attorneys were hired at the justice department whose job it was to investigate, prevent and punish crimes of election fraud, while in reality it is clear they were hired for no other purpose but to allow and to perpetrate the fraud themselves, constituting the formalization of treason.

If America accepts this as appeasement, we will only encourage the further degradation of our institutions. The only real justice is impeachment, conviction and execution of punishment of all the participants in this rape of America by the rich and powerful against the rest of us. The citizenry must demand that those remaining, do their jobs and cleanse the remainder. And the problem will remain unsolved, as the rich will still have all the money they have thieved from those who go to work every day. Even after punishment, we face years of repair.

In the long term, however, repair without reparations is a lingering public punishment. Long after the heads of this conspiracy are brought to justice, congress must have the courage to retake the funds from the robber-barons.

I only offer a solution but certainly no prediction of this outcome. What I cynically believe is that Americans will continue to simmer while others come to a boil and die, much like frogs in a pot. The heat slowly rises; he doesn't notice, thus failing to jump out; he eventually dies.

I only pray America will prove me wrong by demanding tenacious and thorough reform.

Libby More Guilty Than Some Say (Followup)

We have followed this story for a while now. It appears that Dem's highest hopes that the trial of Scooter Libby would lead to the downfall of the puppet masters at the top, Cheney and Rove. Even the testimony of Ari Fleisher, despite his immunity, yielded no elevation of the target.

What many people are saying now is that Libby is "only a scapegoat", as if somehow, he did not commit "a real crime". Well, of course, he did. If you or I lie under oath, we may be convicted of perjury. In this case, the reason for lying is particularly villainous. He participated in the outing of a CIA agent, even if it was already out as he says. He perpetuated what had previously been a deniable rumor. Now, she and her associates still in Iran are neutralized if not endangered by the intentional rumor mill of Libby and his masters. For anyone to claim that just because we didn't get the person who ordered such things, does not mean, Libby himself, is somehow innocent.

Scooter (such a seemingly innocuous name) is and has been one of the most dangerous and influential people in the world even without guidance. He has been openly a member of PNAC (The Project for the New American Century), the same organization that indeed, planned the Iraq war well before we had an excuse.

So far, Bush is content with letting Libby serve as a scapegoat, thinking it will make him appear less guilty. Clearly, from poll numbers, nothing can significantly redeem Bush or Cheney, but we may have to settle for getting "only" one bad guy in this investigation. If nothing else, it sends a message that further underground governance will not be so easily tolerated by either the citizens or the system of justice.

We await his sentencing and the testimony to Congress by his primary victim, Valerie Plame. We shall see if Libby will actually serve even a day in jail, as Bush may very well find him less dangerous outside of prison than inside resenting his burden.

PNAC - The Most Dangerous Men Alive Today - Know Thine Enemy (Within)

Present Dangers: Crisis and Opportunity in American Foreign and Defense Policy

Below is a well-written review by an anonymous reader on Amazon of the book that serves as the bible for PNAC (The Project for the New American Century) prior to the 9/11 Crisis:

This is undoubtedly one of the most important books on US foreign policy published in recent years and should be read by anyone who cares about the future of the United States and the rest of the world. This is the manifesto of "conservative internationalism" whose proponents, including many of the books authors, now infest the Bush administration and are his loudest ventriloquists. Here, then, is the current administration's strategic vision.

The basic argument is that the US needs to exercise world domination, here spun as "benevolent global hegemony" and that there are a number of external obstacles which stand in the way and must be dealt with. These are Iraq, Iran, North Korea, China, the Middle East peace process and an independent Europe. In its clear and reasoned enunciation of strategy and future plans, it both rivals and surpasses the later chapters of Mein Kampf. Here is the game plan which must be read to understand where these people intend to take the world next.

If we ignore the desirability of this mission, its feasibility (the cost in money, lives and freedom) certainly merits discussion, but here the book is thin, relying on fairy story assumptions (budget surpluses!!!) and wishful thinking.

The one distasteful aspect of the book is the attempt to wrap the entire endeavor in the cloak of "American morality", understood as protecting citizen's liberties. This is breathtaking stuff from accomplices in the most extensive attempt to incinerate the Constitution in recent history.

Stripped of its ideological air cover and romantic fantasies, this is still an important, timely and lively document since this is the future course of foreign policy which the Bush administration plans to pursue.

I begin this piece with a warning to anyone that wants to remain in ignorant bliss. The "Neo-conmen" who serve on this committee truly believe that America is chosen by God to dominate the world by any means. This is NOT a conspiracy theory as the book above states very clearly this is their intention and, as any self-proclaimed, God-endorsed dictators would, they move forward with no shame and no mercy on those who stand in their way.

This is NOT the Illuminati or Trilateral Commission where their existence and membership remain secret. The main committee is as follows according to their website and publications:

Elliott Abrams Gary Bauer

William J. Bennett Jeb Bush

Dick Cheney Eliot A. Cohen

Midge Decter Paula Dobriansky

Steve Forbes Aaron Friedberg

Francis Fukuyama Frank Gaffney

Fred C. Ikle Donald Kagan

Zalmay Khalilzad I. Lewis Libby

Norman Podhoretz Dan Quayle

Peter W. Rodman Stephen P. Rosen

Henry S. Rowen Donald Rumsfeld

Vin Weber George Weigel

Paul Wolfowitz Richard Armitage

If these names look familiar, they should. They are the very people who have put America and the world into it's potentially perilous positions. They planned their work and they worked their plan, again, without shame. Research any of them and you will see a blatant pattern and history of belief in Fascism (everything in service to the state).

This list is by no means complete as to the men and women who follow their commands, but it is a good beginning and the list certainly does not suggest that all members are knowledgeable of or participating in any efforts of treachery.

Before 9/11 even began, these men realized, according to their own writings, that it would take "another Pearl Harbor" to scare American citizens enough to be willing to support massive exercise of military power and the destruction of constitutional rights that would ensue. Their report went so far as to suggest in great detail the very things that did happen in NYC on the most infamous date in history.

They have made such things happen to advance their goals of global power since the writing of this document. They have done what is necessary to destroy and suppress evidence of their illegal actions. Without getting too specific, we can all see one thing after another that couldn't have been more perfectly scripted for the advancement of the wealth of those who control the military industrial complex.

My suggestion, as always is to Duly Consider all the facts; not just the ones presented by the establishment but, before they shut them down, the alternate news sources, mostly on the web.

This site has an extensive collection of articles and documentaries on this subject and others. You may want to begin here 9/11 or 911. Other books by and endorsed by PNAC include:

The War Over Iraq: Saddam's Tyranny and America's Mission
Lawrence F. Kaplan and William Kristol, Encounter Books, 2003

Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order
Robert Kagan, Knopf, 2003

If you are easily seduced by emotional persuasion, you are in danger of becoming a fascist by reading these. If you go into it with the quest of "knowing thine enemy" you will drop your jaw and come out with armor on your mind.

Why We Fight (2006) Complete

This is the complete documentary film, Why We Fight.

What are the forces that shape and propel American militarism? This award-winning film provides an inside look at the anatomy of the American war machine.

Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life?

Is the US government in the business of encouraging war around the world, just to sell arms?

This goes back to once General, President Eisenhower's warning about the military industrial complex.
