Freepers set up Kerry for "Dukakis-ization."

[Octafish]

Our "conservative" friends thought this up in February, when Kerry started to build up some steam.

Do you think, em, they were afraid of the unelected moron having to face a REAL American Hero in November?

THE MAGIC BULLET

Dallas, Texas

Nothing has changed here. I stand on the cupola where Abraham Zapruder had once stood, and look up to my left at the Texas Book Depository building, eyeing the infamous sixth floor window. To my right is the triple underpass. In front of me is Elm Street and the scene of what may be the single greatest tragedy in American history. Behind me and to my right is the long, low, grey picket fence atop the grassy knoll, where once a man stood who murdered a president.

This place appears so small, as if for some reason, perhaps a longing for fairness, it should be larger, that the fatal shot should have travelled a greater distance. But it is not so. The distance from the picket fence to the center of Elm Street is very, very short. The place now is a tourist attraction, and at all times of day and night people can be found gathered here, pointing first to the Book Depository window, and then at the grassy knoll.

As I wander back and duck under the fence to stand in the approximate spot of the murderer, I think of the books, and The Movie. The evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the shooter, and that there were indeed more than one shooter, is largely circumstantial. A battle was fought here, although no monument shall ever grace this spot for the victorious generals. In fact, nowhere in the anals of war is there another instance where the victorious generals tried so hard to conceal their identity. And if it is uncertain who actually won this war, remember that Arlen Spector, the man who helped concoct and perpetrate the single most absurd conning of the American public, the man who first articulated the Magic Bullet Theory, is still in power in Washington, D.C.

His theory, in brief, concluded that three bullets caused all the wounds in the presidential motorcade that day. His theory is important, because it "explains" how only one shooter could have caused all these wounds, which is necessary to pin the tail on the donkey, one Lee Harvey Oswald. To acknowledge that more than three bullets were fired that day would acknowledge more than one shooter, and therefore a conspiracy to assassinate a president. What none of the victorious generals counted on was the assassination being filmed by Mr. Zapruder, and the eventual witnessing of the act by the entire American public. A public not as naive as the Warren Commission believed; they knew when a bullet fired from a high-powered rifle hit something, that something moved in the same direction as the bullet was travelling.

Despite being the greatest crime in American history, despite being caught on film, and despite the entire resources of the United States government, the truth remains unknown, the crime unsolved. There is a name, a face, a family out there behind a trigger finger. Perhaps there are two or three. Perhaps there are a thousand. But this much is known: two days after becoming President of the United States, Lydon Johnson signed papers reversing the stated aims of the Kennedy administration regarding the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam. Since that long-off time we lost a war and, at last count, 58,167 American lives in the process.

Common Knowledge

"All warfare is based on deception." ~from the Art of War by Sun Tzu

EXCERPT...

It is common knowledge that in 1953, George H.W. Bush with partners Hugh and Bill Liedtke, and money from Brown Brothers Harriman formed Zapata Petroleum. In 1954 George H.W. Bush bought from his partners the subsidiary Zapata Off-Shore, and went into business on his own.ref. 9

It is common knowledge that in 1957 Howard Hughes (Nixon supporter and CIA contractor) leased Cay Sal Bank in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. In 1958 George H.W. Bush's Zapata Off-Shore was drilling on these islands. The islands were later used as a base for CIA raids on Cuba (Operation Zapata).ref. 9

It is common knowledge that in September 1960, OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) was created in Baghdad. The founding members were Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Later joined by eight other countries: Qatar (1961), Indonesia (1962), Libya (1962), United Arab Emirates (1967), Algeria (1969), Nigeria (1971), Ecuador (1973 to 1992), and Gabon (1975 to 1994).ref. 1

It is common knowledge that in 1961 Iraq attempted to invade Kuwait, and was only deterred by the deployment of British troops.ref. 1

27. Bush is a coward -- every day, in every way.

F-102 Delta Dagger



F-102, Vietnam & George W. Bush

It really bothers me that a coward like George W. Bush spent the Vietnam War training to fly old and useless planes in Texas while John Kerry was heroically risking his life in combat and got three purple hearts! -- Jennifer Braun

We normally shy away from the world of politics, but we get variations of this kind of question regularly and feel it necessary to clarify some information. We'll do our best to avoid bringing our own political biases into this article. At the very least, we'll attempt to remain as neutral and objective as Michael Moore does in his ironically dubbed "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11.

George W. Bush's military service began in 1968 when he enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard after graduating with a bachelor's degree in history from Yale University. The aircraft that he was ultimately trained to fly was the F-102 Delta Dagger. A number of sources have claimed that Bush sought service in the National Guard to avoid being sent to Vietnam, and that the F-102 was a safe choice because it was an obsolete aircraft that would never see any real combat. However, those perceptions turn out to be incorrect, as will be seen shortly.

The F-102 was a supersonic second generation fighter designed in the early 1950s for the US Air Force. The primary mission of the aircraft was to intercept columns of Soviet nuclear bombers attempting to reach targets in the US and destroy them with air-to-air missiles. The technologies incorporated into the aircraft were state-of-the-art for the day. The F-102 set many firsts, including the first all-weather delta-winged combat aircraft, the first fighter capable of maintaining supersonic speed in level flight, and the first interceptor to have an armament entirely of missiles. Among the many innovations incorporated into the design were the use of the area rule to reduce aerodynamic drag and an advanced electronic fire control system capable of guiding the aircraft to a target and automatically launching its missiles.

The F-102 made its first flight in 1953 and entered service with the Air Defense Command (ADC) in 1956. About 1,000 Delta Daggers were built, and although eventually superseded by the related F-106 Delta Dart, the F-102 remained one of the most important aircraft in the ADC through the mid-1960s. At its peak, the aircraft made up over half of the interceptors operated by the ADC and equipped 32 squadrons across the continental US. Additional squadrons were based in western Europe, the Pacific, and Alaska.

Bradshaw speaks about his "Nazi Salute" to the Washington Post

Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Thursday, June 10, 2004 at 1:38 PM EST

* CNBC Wrestles With a Bad-Boy Image

Three weeks after announcing it had hired WWE wrestling bad boy John "Bradshaw" Layfield as a financial analyst for the network, CNBC said yesterday it was shocked to learn that JBL was in fact a WWE bad boy and it sacked him for doing the Nazi goose step and stiff-armed salute during a World Wrestling Entertainment match in Munich.

That, Layfield told The TV Column, is something he'd done before when performing in Germany both for WWE and for a German wrestling outfit, and is among the "reprehensible" things the character he plays has done.

"We find his behavior to be offensive, inappropriate and not befitting anyone associated with our network," the NBC cable financial network said in a statement about Layfield, who wrote the book "Have More Money Now: A Commonsense Approach to Financial Management."

"They hung me out to dry," Layfield told The TV Column.

"I was playing a character. It's the same as Vin Diesel playing a Nazi."

Thursday night, and John Kerry giving the speech of his life. This was not the young man before Congress speaking of the horrors of Vietnam, but the wiser man tempered by a lifetime of public service. Many believe there were better candidates in the primary field, and perhaps they are right. But John Kerry just left it all on the convention floor, melding seamless national security themes into one of the most progressive addressed I ever heard on a national stage. Those who worried on Wednesday that the event was peaking too early were disabused of their fears. Kerry accepted the nomination, and the balloons dropped. Fade to black, roll credits.

You can! Together we can stop them. Please read on...

Citizens' Indictment Of Bush, Cheney, Et Al.

Fellow Citizens:

This is to invite you to join us in a citizens' movement to indict members of the Bush administration now and George W. Bush when he leaves office. We ask you to consider and sign, and ask any organization you deem appropriate to endorse, the Citizens' Indictment and Draft True Bill against George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and eleven other administration officials.

"Just won't happen!" you say.

Impeachment of Bush is what won't happen while the radical Republicans control the House. But indictment is different. Grand juries can indict officials of the federal government, except the President, whom they conclude should be tried for crimes such as those alleged here. The Citizens' Indictment can lead to the full investigation and prosecution of officials in the Bush/Cheney government from Dick Cheney on down.

This can happen.

And if the President is not impeached and tried while he is in office, he can be indicted after he leaves the White House.

Coverups Uncovered

Bronfman, Bush, Cheney
Seagrams, Zapata, Brown & Root

ALL INTERCONNECTED IN THE SPIDER'S WEB

CHENEY'S HALLIBURTON (ROOT & BROWN) THING LEADS
DIRECTLY TO THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION. 

After serving as Secretary of Defense for President Bush, Cheney reaped the financial rewards of the revolving money door between the military and industry. Cheney became a member of the board of directors of Morgan Stanley.  the Union Pacific Corp., Procter & Gamble Co. and Electronic Data Systems Corp. (Ross Perot company) But, most important, in 1995 Cheney became the CEO of Halliburton (owner of Brown and Root) ( Cheney, the chairman of the board, holds a $45.5 million stake as Halliburton's biggest individual stockholder. Brown and Root reaped multi-millions from the Bosnia war.

In 1998 Richard Cheney got the idea that Halliburton should purchase Dresser Industries, for $8.1 billion (creating the world's largest oil-drilling services company) while on a quail hunt with Dresser chair Bill Bradford.  Dresser and Halliburton merged.  Dresser Industries was owned and operated by Brown Brothers Harriman. Prescott Bush (George H.W.'s father) was a partner of Brown Brothers and on the board of Dresser for decades until he became a U.S. Senator.

CHENEY'S FIRM HALLIBURTON AND BROWN & ROOT FINANCED, (IN PART) PERMINDEX, THE CORPORATE FRONT, WHICH OPERATED THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY.

PERMINDEX was a corporate front, headed by Major Louis M. Bloomfield of Canada.  Clay Shaw operated a division of PERMINDEX in New Orleans at the International Trade Mart. The connections between Clay Shaw, David Ferrie and Lee Harvey Oswald have, at this time, been proven by documentary and photographic evidence, despite myriad attempts to discredit the Garrison investigation.

36. With Day of Prayer, Bush reaches out

His message could appeal to evangelical Christians particularly, which could help him in November.

By Deb Riechmann

Associated Press


WASHINGTON - President Bush reached out to evangelical Christians yesterday in a National Day of Prayer ceremony that religious networks were broadcasting coast to coast.

"At so many crucial points in the life of America, we have been a nation at prayer," Bush said, recalling that Abraham Lincoln called the country to prayer in the darkest days of the Civil War and that Franklin Roosevelt led U.S. citizens in prayer 60 years ago when U.S. and British troops invaded German-occupied France.

Some academic specialists on religion and politics - and some advocates of a stark division between church and state - suggested the Republicans were using the 53d annual National Day of Prayer to give the GOP an edge in the election.

"This event has very strong underpinnings of partisan support for the President, and that's what it's designed to do," said Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "It's not like he is ignoring other religious groups, but he knows that this day is the one where he signals, 'I am an evangelical Christian. Remember that in November.' "

WASHINGTON — President Bush yesterday appealed to evangelical Christians in a National Day of Prayer ceremony broadcast coast-to-coast by religious networks.
"At so many crucial points in the life of America, we have been a nation at prayer," Bush said, recalling that Abraham Lincoln had called the country to prayer in the darkest days of the Civil War and that Franklin Roosevelt led U.S. citizens in prayer 60 years ago when U.S. and British troops invaded German-occupied France.

Some academic specialists on religion and politics — and some advocates of a stark division between church and state — suggested Republicans were using the 53rd annual National Day of Prayer to give the GOP an edge in the November election.

"This event has very strong underpinnings of partisan support for the president, and that's what it's designed to do," said Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "It's not like he is ignoring other religious groups, but he knows that this day is the one where he signals 'I am an evangelical Christian. Remember that in November.' "

During yesterday's event, one of thousands of National Day of Prayer observances, Bush recognized Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb of the Orthodox Union of Jews, other religious leaders as well as conservative Oliver North, an Iran-contra figure turned radio talk-show host who is honorary chairman of this year's National Day of Prayer.

"We cannot be neutral in the face of injustice or cruelty or evil," Bush said. "God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know he is on the side of justice. And it is the deepest strength of America that from the hour of our founding, we have chosen justice as our goal.

"Our greatest failures as a nation have come when we lost sight of that goal: in slavery, in segregation, and in every wrong that has denied the value and dignity of life. Our finest moments have come when we have faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens and for the people of other lands."
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/20019...

She also made no apologies about the exclusion of Muslims and others outside of the "Judeao-Christian tradition" from ceremonies planned by the task force on Capitol Hill and in state capitals across the country. "They are free to have their own national day of prayer if they want to," she said. "We are a Christian task force."

The White House press office and presidential adviser Karl Rove's office did not respond to calls seeking comment on the National Day of Prayer observances.
