- I never imagined that any US administration could surpass
the egregious and treasonous acts of the Clinton administration. However,
the Bush administration has not only failed to stop, overturn or dismantle
any of the significant evil acts of the former administration, but it
is continuing the cover-up of illegal government activities: e.g., surveillance
without a warrant, withholding of crucial intelligence regarding national
defense threats, corruption of evidence in ongoing investigations, money
laundering, collusion with judges to imprison whistleblowers, and massive
drug control and importation schemes to finance black budget operations.
While most Bush administration advisors claim conservative leanings, in
reality all belong to the same internationalist group (Council on Foreign
Relations) to which advisors in previous administrations have belonged.
This Council is dedicated to subtly eroding American sovereignty and even
encouraging its demise, an objective hardly in line with its members
professed dedication to American values.
Why is the Bush administration more dangerous than the lawless corruption
of the Clinton-Reno days? Simply because the current administration does
it under the cover of an even bigger lie: that what they do is out of
genuine love of country, duty to God, patriotism, and love of the Constitution.
In short they claim to be God-fearing, constitutional conservatives, and
nothing could be further from the truth. Each of these national leaders,
including Bush, Cheney, Powell, and Ashcroft have agreed to follow a control
agenda formulated by others who do not respect God, nor the Constitution,
nor national sovereignty. This administration is dangerous because its
lies are believable. Clinton s lies were not.
The Bush administration is rapidly undermining many American constitutional
rights, in the oft-repeated name of fighting terrorism. Local police forces
are being corrupted into serving as federalized police under a variety
of circumstances. Indeed, the administration is now openly talking about
instituting a federal police force, under the aegis of "increased
coordination." Bush all too willingly signed legislation federalizing
airport security workers, even though he claimed to oppose it. The US
is now in a continuous state of emergency, which justifies tremendous
expansions of federal powers. Though Bush ostensibly champions religious
liberty, the Justice Department has failed to intervene in the ongoing
oppression of certain fundamentalist Christian churches in their battles
with the IRS over improper tax control of churches. Verbiage is cheap
and goes a long way toward keeping Christians thinking that they have one
of their own in the White House. It s hard for most people to detect a
lie when the person is telling them what they want to hear.
-
- Speaking of lies, this administration is engaging in
cover-ups that will exceed the Clinton record. Not only has Attorney General
Ashcroft refused to prosecute any of the Clinton-Reno crimes, he has refused
to even meet with those who have the evidence, in particular Larry Klayman
of Judicial Watch and former Clinton impeachment prosecutor David Schippers,
who is representing FBI agents who have evidence of official Justice Department
suppression of evidence in the OKC bombing. There are other would-be whistle
blowers who are also having no luck with justice. No conservative with
crucial evidence on government wrongdoing has been able to gain meaningful
access to the White House or the Justice Department in this, the supposed
paragon of all conservative administrations.
-
- The Bush administration is also rapidly undermining our
defense against strategic threats (Russia and China) while claiming to
be building up our military forces. In fact, we are wasting our military
stores in an interventionist war in Afghanistan that only superficially
has anything to do with terrorism, and that primarily serves US and Russian
oil interests and increases the number of countries that hate America.
While a billion dollars a month goes down the drain in this war, the money
we need to counter the more dangerous long term threats continues to diminish.
Despite the propaganda, it isn't the tiny "rogue nations" with
cobbled-together, second-rate weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that are
the big threat--it is the two predator nations in the world that provide
those rogue states with weapons and material on an ongoing basis. Not
only do Russia and China continue to finance, train and feed terrorism
(albeit through client states), but both of these nations are also building
for a much larger future world war with first-rate, high tech WMD--with
the potential of mass delivery systems.
-
- Worse, this administration is continuing the pattern
followed by all US governments since Roosevelt of assisting the transfers
to Russia and China of dangerous military technology --including technology
enhancing their delivery capability. The administration also continues
to prohibit intelligence agencies from alerting the American public to
the continuous pattern of Russian cheating on all NBC weapons treaties.
It is especially telling that Russia never allows for meaningful verification
of disarmament. While some disarmament is, indeed, going on (we know this
because US corporations are being paid by US taxpayers to dismantle a
variety of older Russian arms), US inspectors are never allowed to inspect
the newest secret Russian military production facilities, nor enter the
huge underground factory and defense complexes Russia is building in the
Ural Mountains. Meanwhile, the US chastises Russia and China verbally
for continual violations of anti-proliferation treaties--but never imposes
meaningful sanctions.
