THE BLOGOSPHERE--Nobody in the press is covering government exhibit 532 (http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/013107Z.shtml), but it points to direct-involvement in the Plame case by President George W. Bush. It's appearing he did in-fact order the smear-campaign and outing of Valerie Plame, a former CIA-operative, and wife of former diplomat Joe Wilson. Bush has denied any involvement or prior-knowledge of the attacks on the Wilsons. Now the "he did it" game of pointing comes, bringing-to-mind episodes of The Three Stooges (Curly-era, soitenly the best one). "I know you are, but what am I?", will likely be the President's and Vice President's defense strategy, but someone ordered this pizza. It appears from this document that it was President Bush.
This letter confirms a number of Libby's assertions that he wasn't leading-the-charge on them. It also appears that the President was willing to sacrifice Libby to save Karl Rove. A bad-move on Cheney's part that he wrote all it in his longhand. Be prepared for desperate actions by the Bush administration--criminals are profoundly dangerous when they're cornered. The push into Iran has a tinge of rebellion to it. It's safe to say that George W. Bush has murdered the myth of the rugged individual and "winning" in the American lexicon. Rove, the man of many-chins (yet no-chins), is in-trouble. Bigger trouble than a kid caught with his hand in a cookie-jar. Somehow, I think we'll get those same, lame-excuses.
I found this document at a blog which claims to be by Patrick Fitzgerald, but does it matter if it really is? An interesting aspect of the memo is the tone. It's not very cocksure, and sounds pretty desperate. Mark my words: the last-time anyone created this much confusion in government was the rise of NSDAP in 1933 Germany. They might just outdo them yet. The parallel is that it's fine that you're able to seize-power, but disastrous when you are incapable of rule on any plane. This is what makes them revolutionaries, not just their radical ideology that will not outlive them. Why? Because the assholes cannot spell "ridiculous." That's it, no other reason.

I know what ya mean there Matt. These Idiotic Ideologues are devious, and have infiltrated every aspect of our lives and culture. I had a radical thought that I have to get out of my mind, such as it is. What if we all left our posts and started marching toward the white house, is that what it will take. If it is, we had best do it before they get any more magnetic pulse weapons etc.
ReplyDeleteEven George Orwell underestimated the evils of Corporate Government.
No, we're underestimating the damage we can do with the blogs. There's nothing like this, it's unprecedented, just as the printing-press and literacy were. The best-part: it has a leaderless-quality to it, very interesting. We all have to be leaders.
ReplyDeleteSome of us are going to have to kick their asses here in the blogosphere, a place where we have more of a resonance with this historical moment than the right does. Their blogs are pretty ineffectual, in my humble opinion because it's just an echoing of what their readers already hear.
Also, ordinary people are able to access an alternative-viewpoint in America and cannot afford to go accross the country to some event. It's a misconception that everyone can just drop their jobs, kids, and other responsibilities and go. It's just not there for most working-class Americans. It's elitist to judge them, and I certainly am one of them.
But a time will come when we know when to get in the streets and kick some ass (all outta bubblegum). I really gotta finish that Ray Nelson interview, he's the guy who wrote the original short story that became "THEY LIVE."
