Indeed there is a covert government, but it is financed, managed and controlled by persons with right wing (or as call themselves, conservative's). The cable news networks, the major media, the large and multi national corporations are all conservatives, right wing and fascist elitists, who look down on their constituency of "conservative and/or Christians" as mere tools to use, by exciting their emotions. Adolph Hitler made mention of the short memory of the masses, and in that regard he was quite correct, as he used that short memory to gain power. The bug a bear of the New World Order, first was publicly aired by George I (George H.W. Bush or Bush 41) The New World Order is in reality the hegemonistic economic and military dominance of the world, not for the benefit of you and I, but for the benefit of the "conservative" corporations and international financial institutions that really run the world behind the scenes. Ken Lay - Enron-George Bush are well known to the readers of this newsletter. Are they also aware that the biggest weapons makers and the only manufacturers of nuclear weapons in America are General Electic and Westinghouse, both of whom are run by "conservatives", ex: right wing "family values" man Jack Welch of GE, and GE owns and controls NBC, Westinghouse owns and controls CBS. Rupert Murdoch (an arch conservative) owns Fox, he also owns Staples, the right wing London Times, the New York Post, Harpers Collins, the publishing house which was not going to publish Michael Moore's book, as well as hundreds of other newspapers, magazines and businesses. Murdoch's influence is so profound that Tony Blair, the PM of England, when running for office, went to Australia, supplicated himself before Murdoch. Blair, ostensibly represents a "Liberal" party in England, Murdoch is an arch "conservative". It is true that this country is, and has been run by "conservatives", even during the Clinton administration, and indeed Clinton's actions, the one's in which he was effective, versus his lip service, were totally conservative. At the top of the corporate conservative agenda was NAFTA and GAAT, and Clinton threw the full force and weight of the Presidency and the Democratic Party behind the NAFTA and GAAT agenda, thus betraying his labor constituency and labor all over the world. In fact he was probably more effective and instrumental in pursuing the corporate labor agenda than Bob Dole would have been, in as much as he represented and controlled the so called "loyal opposition". It's a shell game. The current President is, with the consent and demand of apparently most Americans or at least "conservative, god fearing, family values types" propelling us hell bent for election into a jackbooted dictatorship. The only reason so called "patriots" even support this drive to overturn the constitution, is because their phobias, fears, needs and religious superstitions have been evoked, and they are, by those phobias, fears and needs, the instruments of their own damnation. They are being tweaked and used. The same incidentally is true of most "liberals", who mimick the "conservatives" in their lack of memory and critical reasoning skills. Here is how I see the sad state of affairs. There should be a national consensus and a mutual concern that runs through the veins of all American's. If you listen to the right and left, you will hear almost indentical concerns and fears. However humans carry along a lot of other baggage, baggage which should be trivial, and if the person possesses criticial reasoning skills, would be recognized as trivial. However these trivialities have emotional roots planted in superstition, religion and are watered by psychosexual fears and needs. Which is what really drives us humans, because after all our main purpose on earth our fundamental drive, besides survival, is to reproduce. Which necessitates copulation, which in turn is driven by hormones, which in turn requires the establishment of a belief or feeling of dominance, security, control, superiority and submission depending upon whether one is the male or female. Poor Bill Cooper was afflicted with this patriarchial obsession and was a male supremacist, which also means that he had to be and was a misogynist, something that he adamantly denied, however to belie his denial, he was easily provoked into a vicious attack for something so innocuous as a woman telling him that she had no need to identify herself as a Mrs or to take up the husbands name and give up her own identity on marriage. Bill was also, quite apparently, an apocalyptic Christian, which translates into a Fundamentalist, which translates into a patriarchial misogynist and homophobe, and quite possibly he was also a racist (the roots of which are also mired in psychosexual needs, such as the need to breed and thus ensure what one perceives as the after death continuance of their identity (seed), in which their heirs will continue their existence by looking like them (being of the same race, at least). Poor Bill, a person with whom I might otherwise agree on so many issues, thus created a schism, he identified me as an enemy, and held forth self-righteously as the supreme arbiter of all that is truth, and wished nothing more than to restructure the world, or America at least, in his own narrow image. An image that would preserve his self perceived superiority, safety and security and anyone who had needs that he deemed to be threatening to his own needs, was therefore a threat, an enemy, and thereby he assumed the same stance and position of George W. Bush, and his Jesus, in Matthew12 30 `He who is not with me is against me This is pretty rigid ground, and demands complete and total agreement, as well as domination and control. He who takes such a position of intransigence alienates, turns aside and otherwise turns into enemies, those whom share similar opinions or whom might otherwise be allies. This brings to mind the tactic of "divide and conquer", a tactic that the right wing, and conservatives are especially, but apparently not overtly conscious, of employing, they are playing into the hands of the ruling elite by being so self righteous, so narrow, so unforgiving and close minded. Which brings to mind Isaiah 19:2 And I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbour, City against city, kingdom against kingdom. And this is the tactic used, by those whom use or money and blood for their own purposes, to keep us under control like cattle, that we may be milked and slaughtered for their benefit. For when one looks at the real differences between "conservatives" and "liberals" one see's differences that are in reality trivial, but those differences are fed and magnified by demigogues and "leaders" (religious or secular) whom harrangue and milk those constituencies for the purpose of enhancing their positions, their finances, their social prestige, power and influence. Those personages with religious needs and susceptibility are the easiest to propagandize, mobilize, manage and control, one needs only play on their fears and needs, then play ventriloquist by speaking for their deity and interpreting for them the words in their holy scripture (true of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, or any religion that has self appointed spokesmen, shaman, priests, rabbi's, ministers or whatever). Thus, for all the good he could have done otherwise, Bill Cooper was an instrument of his own destruction, in a direct way was responsible for his own death. His underlying message got lost, because he demonized and chose to make enemy over one half of the audience. ***** Bush as our "Commander In Chief" Not. I can't blame the media and pundits, such as Dan Rather and Chris Matthews, call Bush their commander in chief, after all they are dependent on their corporate conservative paymasters, and he who signs the paycheck dictates the direction of the spin. But I can blame so called Patriots, such as this Robinson guy at Free Republic, for calling Bush his commander in chief. Now these patriots who are suppose to be guarding our constitution, prove themselves ignorant of the document they are suppose to be "guarding" and championing. Read Article 2, Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, not of civilians, not of me or you, but only of the Armed Forces - unless Bush signed an executive order in the middle of the night that has conscripted the entire population into the Armed Forces. And as regards the charge of treason against the likes of John Walker, the American Taliban, farcial, since congress has not declared war on Afghanistan, and in fact the Taliban were, just weeks previous, our partners in oil crimes. New book just out, Ben Laden, The Forbidden Truth by Jean Charles Brisard and Quillaime Dasquie, originally in French, now translated into English. The whole dirty story about Oil, Bush, Reagan, Clinton and the Taliban and Ben Laden. And this capture and transportation of Afghan fighters to Guantanamo Bay, extra (ill) legal, that's why the government calls them detainee's, not POW's, and in accordance with international law they have no right or jurisdiction to detain a foreign national or kidnap them from their own country. But legalities don't stand in the way of the Bushes or Clinton yet, look at the invasion of Panama, another violation of a nations sovereignity, another illegal act actually condemned by the U.N., then again the U.S. could care less what the U.N. says or does, and that blows away another arm of the New World Conspiracy theory in which the U.S. will be taken over by the U.N., the opposite is actually the truth, and perhaps that is the purpose behind the right wing spin of a U.N. conspiracy theory. If one wishes to make any sense of the world around us, then consider the following as an axiom. The opposite is true. That is take everything you hear from the media, from the government and even from "trusted" organizations and look at them in the mirror. After all, "they" have successfully infiltrated and coopted most so called movements, just like "they" created the "terrorist network" Hamas, which is now being used to continue the violence, which is used as an excuse to continue the bulldozing and dispossession of the Palestinians. Read by reverses, the mirror effect, the opposite is true and George Bush is no one's commander in chief, unless they are on active duty and subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Which brings up another subject, Military Tribunals. Again totally illegal and unconstitutional when applied to civilians and foreign nationals. To be subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and Military "Tribunals" one must be on active duty in the military, the code does not apply to civilians, except perhaps only in a state of Martial Law. Has Martial Law been declared over the entire world or the U.S. even, yet? Does the United States have jurisdiction over Afghanistan or any other country, if not then why are FBI agents on the ground in those countries. The deployment of the FBI and other police forces overseas, is as illegal as the deployment of military forces in the U.S. against it's own citizens. That's why it is the National Guard in Airports and not the 82nd Airborne. Then again twas Republican Eisenhower who deployed our military forces against the populace in Little Rock, albeit the cause was just and sufficient, but never the less unconstitutional. I reiterate my points. Bush is not "our" commander in chief, the United States is not at war, therefore the charge of treason can not stick (the execution of the Rosenberg's was illegal for that reason as well, since we weren't officially at war with Russia). If John Walker, who joined the Taliban months before 9-11 is a traitor, then so is George Bush who had given them $43 million dollars just weeks before bombing them. Military Tribunals as applied to civilians and foreign nationals are illegal, according to National and International Law, the holding of foreign nationals, kidnapped from their native soil in confinement as "detainee's" and subjecting them to degrading and inhuman conditions is also illegal, according to International law. None of this stops the war machine, and the onward jackbooted march of the New World Order, a march led by "conservative" media and pundits who draw their wages and profits off the production of war materials, and "free" unfettered international trade, which enables them to export jobs, exploit cheap foreign labor and reduce the wages and income of loyal conservative patriots. Now if the right wing could get over it's religious fantasies, and trivial "family" values issues, and start talking to the "socialistic" anti WTO, and anti New World Order "left", "they" - the real conservative ruling elite, would be in a heap of camel dung.
