President Bush has turned to the cheapest lies in an effort to protect himself from being exposed as a criminal in the ongoing campaign to have the National Security
So what is it that the White House and the NSA have been up to all these years that Bush and Cheney are so frightened to have outed?
The answer seems painfully clear, especially given that we know the program began before Sept. 11, 2001 -- a period when Bush and Cheney were famously uninterested in investigating terrorism.
They had to have been spying on us -- most likely on the groups that had protested Bush's election fraud, the Democratic opposition, possible leakers in his own administration, and then, in the wake of 9-11, the questioners of the official story of that tragic event, the growing anti-war movement, the impeachment movement, critical journalists, etc. -- in short, the same kinds of people that President Nixon, back in the 1970s, unleashed the NSA on, and which led to passage of the FISA law and the FISA court in the first place.
A related op-ed from the EssEffChron:
Beginning in 1999, the government has entered into a series of single-bid contracts with Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) to build detention camps at undisclosed locations within the United States. The government has also contracted with several companies to build thousands of railcars, some reportedly equipped with shackles, ostensibly to transport detainees.
What could the government be contemplating that leads it to make contingency plans to detain without recourse millions of its own citizens?
Yeah, I wonder. Even though it appears this shit started before Bush's cabal seized power, it's only under him that I wonder about it or worry about it happening.
Anyone know where the 'fast forward' button is on this time-space deal?
