- The Communists and their "peace movement" feign
opposition to George Bush. The people they call "useful idiots"
(Lenin's phrase) really do oppose him, but the Communist leaders support
him because he is implementing their perennial goal of totalitarian world
government. They pretend to oppose him in order to trick Americans into
supporting him, because real Americans naturally shrink from echoing the
Communists. Students of the Great Conspiracy call this Communist tactic
the "principle of reversal." Students of Br'er Rabbit call it
the "don't throw me into the briar patch principle."
-
- Why do real Americans oppose President Bush? The Communists
pretend to oppose him for temporary, tactical reasons. We oppose him on
the basis of enduring, unchangeable principles. The juxtaposition is merely
an accident and should embarrass no one who is firmly grounded in the facts.
What are those facts?
-
- President Bush has proven himself unable and/or unwilling
to fight the present war for the survival of our nation. Today, the nation
is fatally divided on the question of whether the United States should
invade Iraq. It is divided because the Bush Administration has not presented
sufficient proof that Saddam Hussein participated in the act of war against
our people on 9-11. Were that proof presented, the nation would be united
behind the war.
-
- The President says he wants the proof. Iraq sent 12,000
pages of documents about its Weapons of Mass Destruction to the UN. The
Bush Administration seized those documents and released only 3,000 pages
to the general public. Why? Because the thousands of pages the President
sequestered prove that it was the United States government and American
companies encouraged by the government that sold and even gave those Weapons
of Mass Destruction to Iraq in the first place.
-
- Indeed, the reason the President suppressed that information
is that it implicates the present Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld,
in the accumulation of WMD. Rumsfeld went to Baghdad in December, 1983
for the purpose.
-
- In fact, the information the President withheld would
also implicate his father, who was Vice President at the time, and actively
participated in the policy of arming Iraq. In 1984, Washington allowed
Iraq to import supercomputers, machine tools and even the makings of anthrax.
The Administration made sure Iraq had the weapons it needed, despite Saddam's
use of chemical warfare. The elder Bush personally gave military advice
to Saddam and in 1988 called for closer ties to Iraq. After he suppressed
all this, the present President Bush blamed Iraq for withholding information.
-
- So, the reason President Bush cannot successfully fight
the war is that he is tainted. Were he a judge, or even a juror, he would
have to recuse himself. The President won't do that, so we the people must.
Notice that we are not necessarily "anti-war." We are in favor
of any necessary war to preserve our way of life, but it must be necessary.
-
- The first thing any President should have done after
the attack on 9-11 was immediately close our borders, and, if necessary,
put troops there for the purpose, while we found out who was whose. President
Bush on the contrary has left our borders wide open and the situation is
deteriorating. Thousands of young Arab males, from the very countries we
suspect in the War on Terror, are being admitted. The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution reports that the Bush Administration is importing thousands
of Somalis to this country. These are people who not only do not share
our culture; they have never seen clocks, telephones or flush toilets.
Most important, they come from the country where the bodies of American
soldiers were dragged through the streets.
-
- If the rationale of the war is to protect the United
States from the danger of Weapons of Mass Destruction, then the war should
begin, not in Iraq, halfway around the world, but in Cuba, 90 miles away,
where Fidel Castro not only has WMD, but also is one of the world's biggest
narcotics dealers, which Saddam Hussein has not even been accused of.
-
- Instead of these elementary policies, what has Bush done?
His policies so far prove that, if allowed to serve another term, Bush
would complete the destruction of the Bill of Rights and our privacy, producing
a totalitarian dictatorship that would make our first King George seem
utterly benevolent.
-
- For instance, he has condoned formation of the Total
Information Awareness project, via the Pentagon's DARPA agency; TIA, which
gives the Pentagon and various intelligence agencies the ability to penetrate
the e-mail accounts of every American citizen, via "packet-sniffing"
software, clearly violates the 4th Amendment guarantee against "unlawful
searches and seizures."
-
- He has failed to rescind the FBI's "Carnivore"project
and the National Security Agency's (NSA) "Magic Lantern" project,
which come to us from the Clinton Administration. These things also contribute
to this electronic "packet-sniffing" effort, and also violate
the 4th Amendment.
-
- Along these lines, so bad was the "Patriot"
Act that Party leaders never gave Members of Congress the final version
before the bill was debated. Because the President's men literally kept
the legislation secret, Members didn't know what they were voting on. Likewise,
Members didn't know what they were voting on when they passed the "Homeland
Security bill." It proposed historic changes in our hallowed system,
but debate was severely limited and there was no chance to amend, with
the result that people didn't know for instance about exempting corporations
from liability for vaccine shots.
-
- Indeed, now comes "Patriot" Act II, which is
so secret the Bush Administration is denying its existence. "Patriot"
II would make it a crime to reveal where arrestees are held and who they
are. It can label Americans "enemy combatants" and strip them
of citizenship. It says that collecting information, even legal information,
can be construed as spying for a foreign power, thereby making news gathering
a crime. It says that government agents can conduct searches without warrants
with impunity, thereby repealing the 4th Amendment. Secret judges on a
secret court that convenes in a secret location govern all this. "Patriot"
II also punishes individuals who refuse to testify against themselves,
thereby revoking the 5th Amendment. It allows top federal officials to
keep their financial activities secret; if you try to investigate them,
you're a terrorist.
-
- All this and much more waits in secret for the next terrorist
attack to justify. In short, the "War on Terror" is a fraud,
a charade. The war, as presently fought, is a war on the American people,
using 9-11 and Iraq as the spurious excuse.
-
- George Bush recently proposed $15 billion in aid to Africa,
which is not part of the United States and for which there is no grant
of power in the Constitution. He proposed a 50% across-the-board increase
in foreign aid. Israel is also not part of the United States, but Bush
is getting ready to give that country another $12-$14 billion on top of
the usual $3 billion a year it receives. All of these redistributions of
our wealth are illegal because the Constitution forbids the President to
give your money to other countries.
-
- Indeed, George Bush is working overtime to destroy our
national independence. By returning to the UN time after time for approval
of his invasion of Iraq, he has restored much of the credibility that sorry
outfit has deservedly been losing, with the result that many deluded Americans
now believe we can't attack without the UN's imprimatur. The organization
before which Bush routinely genuflects was founded by Communists for Communist
purposes and never has been run by anyone else. The first Secretary-General
of the UN, who ran the founding meeting, was Soviet spy Alger Hiss, who
later went to prison for lying about his services to Stalin. The United
States should quit and kick the UN out, but Bush is urging the Senate to
pay our "past dues."
-
- George Bush has also endorsed a "Commonwealth of
the Americas," a super-NAFTA effort, which would link the hemisphere
nations via a common currency and further international entanglements from
the northernmost regions of Canada to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina,
and would inevitably complete the total erasure of U.S. borders. Without
borders, the United States would cease to exist.
-
- Indeed, because President Bush is in bed with Mexican
President Vicente Fox, he now endorses a policy known as "totalization,"
which would in practical effect merge the American and the Mexican social
security systems, and would cost us scores of billions of dollars just
to start.
-
- Bush has done nothing to reverse the continuing confiscation
of the land area of the United States by the federal government, kowtowing
like Clinton to the intimidation of the lunatic "environmental movement."
-
- Bush supports the illegal Federal Reserve and the totalitarian
income tax that work in tandem to make enormous federal deficits possible.
When this EtherZone announcement went to press, Bush had already supervised
a deficit of at least $638.7 billion in the present fiscal year. The deficit
is growing so fast that we can't tell you what it is, because, by the time
you read what we said, we would be very wrong. In the next budget, Bush
wants to remove any ceiling on the national debt, final recognition of
the fact that the ceiling is a joke. Spending under Bush has increased
enormously, and it is important to note that we are not talking about spending
for the war in Iraq.
-
- Indeed, the only thing we need to know in this context
is that federal spending and deficits are exploding higher and faster under
Bush than they were under Clinton.
-
- These are just a few examples of what has become epidemic
in the Bush Administration. Again, it is perfectly realistic to expect
the complete subversion of our nation and our liberties if Bush is granted
another term.
-
- On the contrary, what do Congressmen Paul and Tancredo
propose? Dr. Paul of course has been a Member of Congress many years, so
we don't need to guess what we are getting, and his principled stands are
consistent. Here is what he is for and against:
-
- Because Ron Paul is a physician and a genuine Christian,
he would do everything reasonable and then some to avoid war. Because he
is a former Navy officer, if there were no way to avoid war, if it truly
were inevitable, he would fight to win, would not leave any loose strings
lying around like Saddam Hussein, but, if necessary, would leave a big
hole in the ground where the enemy was.
-
- Ron Paul has introduced a Congressional resolution to
the effect that the Panama Canal is still U.S. territory, despite Jimmy
Carter's illegal attempt to give it away. In any war, this would be more
important than ever. Today, the Chinese Communists control both ends of
the Canal.
-
- Ron Paul would restore our privacy. He opposes a national
I.D. and all attempts to circumvent or even to cancel the protections of
the Bill of Rights.
-
- Ron Paul would protect our independence. He routinely
proposes that we withdraw from the Communist UN. He has proposed that we
withdraw from the World Trade Organization.
-
- Ron Paul has proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution
that would repeal the income, estate and gift taxes. Nothing would replace
them. The money would stay in your pocket where it belongs.
-
- Ron Paul has proposed the abolition of the Federal Reserve
and the restoration of honest money.
-
- Ron Paul would completely eliminate the destructive,
illegal travesty of "foreign aid," which had made so many enemies
for the United States.
-
- Ron Paul opposes the merger of the American and Mexican
Social Security systems.
-
- Ron Paul would reverse the continuing confiscation of
American territory by the federal government.
-
- Now, what would we get with Congressman Tancredo? Tom
Tancredo opposes Vicente Fox's "Matricula consular," a Mexican
document illegal aliens are using to get services in the United States.
The "Matricula consular" represents an attempt by Fox to take
control of U.S. immigration. Tom Tancredo would put the U.S. military on
our borders to resurrect them. Tancredo's adamant defense of our borders
and his demand that everyone who doesn't legally belong here be thrown
out, have made him the nation's foremost champion of a sensible solution
to our massive immigration problems.
-
- Indeed, Tom Tancredo reports that the Bush Administration
is furious about his defense of our borders, and, believe it or not, could
actually recruit a candidate in the next primary to oppose him. In other
words, suicidal, open borders are more important to Bush than the re-election
of another Republican, a shocking revelation about where George Bush really
stands.
-
- In short, what we would get with a President Paul and
a Vice President Tancredo would be a traditional, modest, eminently non-controversial,
American policy.
-
- A perennial question remains. Wouldn't support for such
a ticket run the risk that enough votes could be lost by Bush to tip the
election to the Democrats? EtherZone maintains that there is no such risk,
that such danger is imaginary, because the Republicans under Bush are worse
than the Democrats. This is easy to understand if you ask yourself a few
simple questions about the Bush record we have cited here:
-
- What would I say if Clinton did this?
-
- If Clinton did it, would I have let him get away with
it?
-
- Could Clinton and the Democrats have gotten away with
what Bush has done?
-
- Are the man and the party more important than what the
man does?
-
- Many patriots have called what Clinton did treason. If
Bush were doing the same thing, if Bush for just one example were continuing,
and even amplifying Clinton's treasonous policy toward China, what would
you call it?
-
- In fact, notice that Bush has continued and even extended
Clinton's main policies. There are some minor, positive differences, but
they are cosmetic, like the bouquet of roses the philanderer brings home
at 5 A.M. It's a nice gesture all by itself, but it doesn't amount to much
in context. For instance, left-wing extremist Hitler, a Socialist, loved
boat rides and wanted every German to have access to them. Fellow left-wing
extremist Mussolini, also a Socialist, allegedly "made the trains
run on time."Would you conclude therefore that they were good men?
Bush and Clinton are as different as identical twins.
-
- And finally: If Bush has done more to advance the cause
of totalitarian Socialism and world government than Clinton could have
done - if Republican Bush has gotten away with more than Democrat Clinton
ever could - doesn't this mean we have less to fear from a President Hillary
or a President Kerry, etc., than we would from President Bush? Doesn't
this make Hillary, etc., the "lesser of two evils?" As we have
seen in the case of Congressman Tancredo, Bush himself is perfectly willing
to cause the defeat of a Republican who wants to protect the United States.
-
- We support a Paul/Tancredo ticket without reservations.
