- Fear and blind hatred; threats and spurious accusations;
these appear to be the accepted "norms" of the Bush/Cheney cabal.
-
- It is very apparent to this old vet that Bush, Cheney
and the rest of the "Mayberry Machiavellis" surrounding them
need high levels of chaos and instability to operate and to push their
"agenda" of world dominance; their vision of Pax Americana. This
they have turned into an art form. All one has to do is look at Iraq.
-
- September 11 is exactly what they needed and were looking
for to rally the great unwashed masses, us the people of this nation, behind
the pre-existent Iraq invasion and war plans. This was right out of the
Project for a New American Century's playbook when it stated the nation
would need a "Pearl Harbor" type event to rally the nation behind
invading Iraq.
-
- The murders of 3,000 people on 9/11 provided Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz
with exactly what they needed to push the "Liberation of Iraq"
down the throats of not only this nation, but the rest of the world as
well. It seems however, that the only people that fell for this "scam"
are right here in the good old U.S. of A.
-
- Well before 9/11, during Cheney's "secret"
energy task force meetings, Cheney, Ken Lay, et al, had mapped out Iraq's
oil fields, refineries and pipelines. They turned a blind eye and a deaf
ear to all pre-9/11 warnings. They were too busy looking at Iraq's oil
fields and drooling to concern themselves with the notion of a major "terrorist"
attack on the U.S. Why worry about that when there are oil fields to "liberate?"
-
- Why were all the warnings ignored by Bush/Cheney? For
me that is an easy one to answer: they want their "New World Order"
and will stop at nothing in their quest for power and domination. And that
includes the deaths of 3,000 people on 9/11.
-
- One of the innocents that was murdered on that day, Vanessa
Lang Langer, was in Tower ll, 93rd floor, and was told to "stay at
your desk, you are safe."
-
- Vanessa's mother, Donna, who teaches Writing and Rhetoric
at Syracuse University, has a lot to say about what happened on 9/11 and
about Cheney's recent warning, threat, whatever you want to call it, when
he told us a vote for Kerry is inviting a new 9/11. Outrageous is an understatement.
-
- ----------
-
- An open letter to Dick Cheney on the anniversary of my
daughter's murder:
-
- Thank you for warning me about my vote for John Kerry.
In this version of America, the one you all have crafted, clarity is very
difficult to come by. Let me make myself perfectly clear: my daughter was
murdered on 9/11/2001, on an absolutely clear, late summer morning. She
was four months pregnant and, that morning, five minutes after the first
of two planes hit the World Trade Center, she was told she was "safe."
She was told to "stay at her desk." She was found whole and intact
ten feet from an alley between Towers IV and V. I cannot tell you how I
would have appreciated such a clear warning before September 11th, or even
on September 11th. Before that day, there were warnings, clear warnings,
but they only reached the desk of George W. Bush. And I note he did nothing
to stop the events of 9/11.
-
- Nothing.
-
- There were other warnings during Clinton's tenure in
the White House (many I'm sure you don't need me to innumerate) - some,
though they were perhaps more coded than your recent missive, came in the
form of Ken Starr's investigation of Clinton. As a mother or a citizen
of this country, did I read this as a warning then? No. I did not. Was
this money well spent by the Republicans? Many of my Republican friends
at the time did not think so. Could we Americans afford this kind of investigation,
knowing now how much we needed Clinton to be free to pursue more pressing
issues? No. Should I have read in my lack of understanding of the import
of the Ken Starr investigation that there was something you people wanted
to have occur? Was this a deliberate distraction? Has anyone in the media
since, or, in fact, has anyone in any office of power in this nation asked
any of you to, perhaps, answer for that?
-
- Anyone?
-
- I ask these questions now because the Bush/Cheney administration
and all of your followers are the greatest beneficiaries of the events
post-9/11, and I take your warning as an indication of what you guys will
bring to America if Kerry wins. Get this clear, Mr. Cheney, what you guys
will bring to America. I fear you, believe it or not, more than I fear
another bin Laden attack and that is why I am asking you these questions
now.
-
- Because I take your warning as an admission of your ties
to that event. Even, no especially, if that admission is not what you intended.
-
- So thank you, once again. And, understand how truly thankful
I am to hear you articulate what only I seem willing to articulate: That
if Kerry wins, you will come back at us.
-
- We are forewarned.
-
- But know this: I will never again watch my values, and
the values of my fellow Americans be trampled on by so much corruption,
so much duplicity and so much unadulterated hate without speaking out.
You are not a Republican. You have shamed Republicans. And many of them,
I pray, will be voting with me, in hope as well as fear, for John Forbes
Kerry.
