George Bush: 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq' - 10/7/2005

On September 18, 1787, as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the meeting, at the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia where our Constitutional Republic was formed, Mrs. Powel directly asked him, “Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?” Mr. Franklin responded,
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
This has never been more important than today. Can we keep it? We can, only if we are willing to learn how it works and only if we hold the government accountable to the law!

FOCUS | Barbara Lee: Permanent Occupation
Anyone familiar with the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) should be skeptical about the administration's claims that it does not have plans for a permanent military presence in Iraq. According to Barbara Lee, PNAC, many of whose founders, including Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, went on to serve in the Bush administration, published a document in 2000 titled 'Rebuilding America's Defenses.' It plainly cites the objective of an increased US military presence in the region as a rationale for invading Iraq...

Editor's Note: Why is this news site here at this point in history ? Because I give 150% of my support to our American soldiers.

Just take half of the potential support away from the illegal Administration that wrongfully put them in harms way, and give that much needed support to our soldiers !

FOCUS | Cindy Sheehan: From Despair to Hope
There were many nights after Casey was killed and we buried him that I had to restrain myself from swallowing my entire bottle of sleeping pills. The pain and the deep pit of hopeless despair were almost too much to cope with. How can a person be expected to live in a world that is so full of pain and so devoid of hope? I would think to myself: "It would be so easy to take these pills and go to sleep and never wake up in this awful world again."

The only thing that restrained me from committing the cowardly and selfish act of killing myself was my other three children. How could I put them through something so horrible after what they had already been through? I knew that I had to live and I knew living was going to be (and still is) the hardest thing I have ever had to do. However...

Longtime Confidante of Bush
Has Never Been a Judge
Ms. Miers, a longtime confidante of the president's, has never been a judge, and therefore lacks a long history of judicial rulings that could reveal ideological tendencies. Her positions on such ideologically-charged issues as abortion and affirmative action are unclear. In choosing Ms. Miers as his nominee, Mr. Bush once again signaled the importance he places on personal loyalty and familiarity.

Miers Briefed Bush on Famous Bin Laden Memo
An AP photo reveals that Miers briefed Bush on famous Bin Laden memo,
but newspapers are handling the AP Photo quite differently...
...But does that mean that Miers had anything to do with that briefing?
As it turns out, yes, according to Tuesday's Los Angeles Times. An article by Richard A. Serrano and Scott Gold observes that early in the Bush presidency "Miers assumed such an insider role that in 2001 it was she who handed Bush the crucial 'presidential daily briefing' hinting at terrorist plots against America just a month before the Sept. 11 attacks."..

FOCUS | Miers Involved in Silencing Whistleblower
...At first, Bush and his then assistant Miers did nothing...
...Gtech contract up for re-bid. Then in June, one Lawrence Littwin, a Democrat, was hired to run the lottery, which had been set up in 1992. At the time, Miers, now chair of the lottery commission, said of Littwin, "His extensive business, technical and lottery experience, his knowledge of lottery products offered by vendors, and his knowledge of the procurement process will be of great benefit . . . . He is a man of integrity who will further develop and maintain strict controls at the commission and insure operations that are above reproach."
When Littwin took over he received a report from the state auditor critical of both Gtech and the lottery commission for failure to conduct proper accounting. Littwin hired the firm of Deloitte and Touche to run more audits, and they allegedly revealed that Gtech had seriously violated its contract. His investigation also revealed what were described as illegal campaign contributions. At that point, according to Littwin, Miers and other commission members ordered him to stop the investigation.
The upshot of the affair was that Gtech, even though not the low bidder, got its contract back, and according to Littwin never corrected its auditing breaches. Littwin was fired that October, after only five months on the job...

Washington - New York Times reporter Judith Miller tried a year ago to make a deal with the prosecutor investigating the leak of a CIA operative's identity but the prosecutor would not agree then to limit her testimony to Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide, her lawyer said on Sunday.

Some lawyers involved in the case said prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's decision to reject the deal a year ago - only to agree last week to limit the scope of Miller's testimony to the subject of Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby - suggested Libby may have become increasingly important to wrapping up Fitzgerald's case.

Beloveds, while we have temporarily descended to the level of planetary cabal’s 3D mind let us discuss in-brief cabal’s global master-plan for its corporate world domination.

I hope you have had the opportunity to read the recent emails and posted articles titled “The TRUTH about the U.S. FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY” “M-Paper 2”and “Cabal’s Government Model”. If you have not, you can visit ServiceSector7@yahoogroups.com and/or the www.ChristMichaelsGlobalSpiritualNetwork.com
- Service Sector7 and find them posted there.

What is cabal’s Middle East and global corporate master-plan and how do we understand its
“government model” in simple terms?

S. Hussein was an excuse. O. BinLaden is an excuse. Why?

Because planetary cabal has bigger picture in mind.
Cabal has plans for Middle East as part of its global corporate master-plan for its world domination.

As Cesar always wanted to have the Roman global empire, cabal’s global master-plan always was, is and will be to dominate and control the world and its people as long as cabal believes it has that power potential to do it.

Reading the U.S. Historical Facts (posted in the above first two articles) you will pretty much understand that the IMF’s (International Monetary Fund) has foreign private ownership of the U.S. Government. They “own” the Federal Reserve and the U.S. President and the U.S. Government through the ownership of U.S. Corp. Constitution that seats unconstitutionally and illegally what you call today the U.S. Government.

The unconstitutional U.S. Corp. Government model has been working well so far in cabals eyes, so it is trying to clone the same model into its Middle Eastern governments such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine and the others as the opportunity opens to spread cabal’s global corporate governments in the name of “freedom and democracy”.

How do they do that? Well, look at their entry into the Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine and you will understand cabal’s “free-willed bombs-full” peace and their “freedom and democracy” through invasion and aggression.

In Iraq, in the past, Saddam was the IMF-Corp U.S. Government’s best friend. They fed him and supplied him to serve their interests until the time they decided that he needs to be sacrificed in order for cabal to get in and form the Corp. Iraqi Government. In order to realize his plans Cesar needed to find reasons to invade. “Beefed-up” false immoral evidence around Saddam, Cesar thought was sufficient enough “to fool the world” to justify pre-emptive military strike and invade Iraq.

Evidence shows that there was no Al-Qaida in Iraq before its invasion by U.S Corp. Government military forces.

After the 9/11 scenario, the legal Downing St. document reports the false “intelligence” reports were arranged around Saddam in order for Cesar to invade Iraq and set up its puppet Corp. Iraq Government. False evidence was presented to UN including everything Saddam has done in the past while working for&with U.S. Government, hiding cabal’s ulterior motive to invade Iraq and establish IMF-Corp. U.S. Government-Corp. Iraq Government.

So, as you see, BenLadin and Hussein were just made-up excuses to invade. What counts are the IMF - Corp U.S. Government – Corp. (PUPPET) Governments that are of interest to cabal as part of its Middle Eastern and global corporate master-plan.

While from one side cabals efforts were conducted to find anything and everything to discredit for instance UN or anyone else in the world that stands on their way, on the other side Cesar and his Roman emporium were hiding their true motives and methods behind the words of “liberation for peace and democracy” by conducting military strikes, delivering bombs, killing people and monopolizing the Middle East.

My friends, I hope you can see here the cabals patterns in shaping its global empire. If you can not see that master-pattern, than you perhaps do not understand also how cabal has right here in front of American people substituted original Founders US National Constitution and its elective process with its own private foreign owned IMF-Corp. U.S. Constitution, which is unconstitutional and illegal.

If the IMF-Corp.U.S. Constitution is illegal from the standpoint of the original National Constitution then the current US Government officials such as President, Senators, Supreme Justices etc. are all elected and seated today illegally in the U.S Government. They are in service to their employer, the IMF-Corp.U.S. Government, and not in service to the American people, the U.S.Corp. enemy as per 1933 “Trade with the Enemies Act”.

Cabal’s 3D world of duality and polarization are all around you, and you are in it bout you can choose not to be of it.
Here are some examples:

- You are with us or against us (George W.Bush)

- Friend or enemy (Corp. U.S. vs. American people-1933 “Trade with the Enemies Act”)

- Wealthy or poor (Billionaire/ Millionaire Corporate leadership vs. poverty)

- Corporate vs. people (Enron-Dick Cheney vs. employees)

- Non-bid contracts vs. bid-contracts (Haliburton-Dick Cheney in Iraq)

- Corporate vs. world (Corp. U.S. vs. UN)

- Corporate vs. International Court (Corp. U.S. Court vs. Haag World Court re-international crimes)

etc., etc., etc.

Republicans See Signs That Pentagon Is Evading Oversight
The New York Times - 9/29/2005
Washington - Republican members of Congress say there are signs that the Defense Department may be carrying out new intelligence activities through programs intended to escape oversight from Congress and the new director of national intelligence.
The warnings are an unusually public signal of some Republican lawmakers' concern about overreaching by the Pentagon, where top officials have been jockeying with the new intelligence chief, John D. Negroponte, for primacy in intelligence operations. The lawmakers said they believed that some intelligence activities, involving possible propaganda efforts and highly technological initiatives, might be masked as so-called special access programs, the details of which are highly classified.

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson caused heartburn in Washington and consternation in Latin America on Tuesday in calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

"I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war," Robertson said during Monday evening's broadcast of "The 700 Club," his Christian news-talk television show. "We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/12456432.htm

Editor's Note to the story above: Being a Christian means to be "Christ Like" or "Like Jesus Christ". Jesus came to earth and gave his life in the promotion of world peace. So any "So called Christian" who is promoting the killing of other people as Pat Robertson has done, thus breaking God's commandments... Is not a Christian at all, but a wolf in sheep's clothing, an evil person, working for the dark side etc... Personally, I feel sorry for any and all people who have been suckered into giving Pat Robertson any money !
After all, based on the wording of the Christian Bible...
Pat Robertson's words are nothing short of declaring war against God himself.
Sincerely,
Reverend Neil Colton

You may have voted blue, but every day you unknowingly help dump millions of dollars into the conservative war chest. By purchasing products and services from companies that donate heavily to conservatives, we have been compromising our own interests as liberals and progressives.

BuyBlue.org is a concerted effort to lift the veil of corporate patronage, so consumers can make informed buying decisions that coincide with their principles.

Currently, we are developing an extensive and interactive website where users will be able to monitor corporate activity in real time.

Some Thoughts
And the Nintendo generation is all part of their plan !
Welcome to modern day slavery... Where the draft is coming back, the new war machines run with controls much like Nintendo, Where it takes 2-3 incomes to keep an average house running...
What is modern day slavery you might ask ? It's when and where one income from one 40 hour work week will not cover your cost of living. Food, rent, medical, dental, the cloths you wear, insurance, a car, taxes, etc.. ALL OF IT. Where we buy cheap from companies that don't pay their help enough to get off of food stamps unless they have more than one income. Where both parents are working while the TV and video games do the babysitting and big brother is deciding what they should see or play. Where family closeness all but disappears because everyone in the family is too involved with self preservation to see the big picture. Followed by war, lots of wars, a thinning of the herd as some would say,
separating the rich from the poor, and eventually....
More on Modern Day Slavery coming soon... We're living it, so we might as well talk about it.

New York State Facts - kids room

What is a Billion?
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one
advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into
perspective in one of its releases:
A billion seconds ago - it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago - Jesus was alive
A billion hours ago- our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago - was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the
rate that the Federal Government in Washington D.C. spends it.

Editor's Note: A viewer wrote in on 6/29/2005, telling me the statement above was wrong.
Here is what he had to say...

On your website you have a statement about what is a billion:
1 Billion Seconds ago it was 1973 not 1959
1 Billion Minutes ago Jesus had died and been risen for over 60 years
Depending on the Budget the 8hrs 20min might actually be a lot faster.
(The 8.333hrs is dependent on a yearly budget of 1.051 Trillion dollars)
His source: www.snopes.com

My Thoughts...
Since the annual budget that President Bush proposed for the up coming year is over 2.4 Trillion dollars... That would mean that our government is now spending your tax dollars at the rate of over 2 billion dollars every 8 hours !
*****************
Despite what President Bush says, the war on Iraq is not over. The cost of this war to the American tax payer is going up every second. Since we can't put a price on human lives, we will just give you the figures in tax dollars that the American tax payers have paid as of right now. These figures were provided by the Costofwar.com website.
