George Bush is destroying the American
Army
07/22/2004 02:37 AM

One little sentence buried in an article on the difficulties that the Army is having meeting its recruiting targets caught my eye today: The Army's top training forces at Fort Polk, La., and Fort Irwin, Calif., are being deployed for the first time, to Iraq This is insane. The realistic training that these forces provide is what has turned the American Army into one of the most powerful militaries in the world. We are closing down the Army's best schools and sending the teachers to Iraq? This is robbing our Army's future in order to put a band-aid over a gaping wound. I can't believe that so-called conservatives on the Armed Services Committee are letting this happen without protest. I can't believe the Army is letting this happen. Where are the defenders of America's soldiers?...

BIG BROTHER, BIG SPENDER, ENDANGERER OF
AMERICAN LIVES


GEORGE BUSH:
BIG BROTHER, BIG SPENDER, ENDANGERER OF
AMERICAN LIVES
06/27/2004 01:00 PM
NIIP
It seems hardly a week goes by without another astounding revelation of the Bush Regime's agenda to intervene without limit into the lives of Americans, and everyone in the world, to further its right-wing, psychopathic agenda. Here's the latest grim news:

Bush plans to screen all Americans for 'mental illness': As reported in the British Medical Journal, under another Orwellian program entitled, in Bush Newspeak, 'The New Freedom Initiative', Bush wants all Americans, including pre-school children, to be examined by armies of psychiatrists and those showing signs of potential "disruptive or aggressive behaviours and emotional disorders", and treated with a range of new, expensive antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs available exclusively from -- surprise! -- pharmaceutical companies that have contributed three times as much to Bush as to Kerry. This is a flagrant invasion of government into the private medical histories and choices of Americans -- Big Brother doping up American children. The plan, developed in Texas, has been decried there as a massive payoff to the drug companies, and this new initiative makes it a national program. An executive who blew the whistle on kickbacks from pharma companies to the Texas legislators was fired for his indiscretion, the BMJ reports.

More foreign journalists terrorized, deported by US Customs: The Guardian tells the increasingly common story of harassment, detention and intimidation of British and other 'friendly nation' journalists when they attempt to enter the US. Although this treatment is mild compared to the now-routine despicable, arbitrary and sometimes lethal abuse that people born in the third world face at the US border, it is evidence that the megalomanic and paranoid Homeland Security brownshirts are now treating every non-American, and every American with a foreign-sounding name or appearance as an enemy of the state, and treating them accordingly. It's a government-run hate factory run amok.

In other depressing and under-reported US news:

Balance of payments debt reaches another record: A statistic watched closely by economists, but not really understood by the media, is the Net International Investment Position (NIIP), the cumulative total of foreign investment and trade deficits. The Center for American Progress analyzes the unprecedented degree to which the US, and global, economy depends on willingness of the US's trade partners to continue to finance the US's insatiable demand for foreign goods and services, especially in the increasingly weak US dollar. See my earlier articles for the explanation of the danger. But take a look at the chart above to see how far it's gone, surpassing $2.5 trillion dollars, a fourth of the entire US economy, last year. Imagine what would happen if the foreign creditors get nervous and decide to call in their debt, or at least denominate it in some other currency. Imagine what will happen when interest rates spike, and the interest on this debt alone suddenly exceeds the lenders' ability to repay it without slashing domestic spending and massively increasing taxes. That's exactly what happened to Argentina, and to the Asian 'tiger' economies. Except this time, the bankrupt debtors will take the creditors with them.

Heard the latest about anthrax?: There has been surprisingly little blather from the Bush machine about the recent revelations (in the 9/11 report etc.) that Al Qaeda has planned, and still plans, an anthrax-based bioweapons attack on US soil. The group claiming responsibility for the Madrid bombings said that Operation "Winds of Black Death", involving a planned attack on the United States, was 90% complete. Attorney General Ashcroft has described the statement as coming from an Al Qaeda spokesman. But while senior government and all military personnel now get the (still risky and somewhat unreliable) anthrax vaccine, plans to administer or at least stock vaccine for all Americans appears to have been abandoned. So while Homeland Security wastes time (and America's reputation) harassing harmless foreigners and torturing Iraqi inmates, this real threat to Americans' security is ignored. It's almost enough to make you think they are perversely hoping for another 9/11, or worse, to get re-elected.

Scary stuff. Michael Moore and Ralph Nader were both up in Canada this week urging Canadians not to make the same mistake as Americans by electing a Conservative government here on Monday. As I've reported already, even if the Conservatives get a plurality they won't be able to forge a lasting governing coalition. Michael and Ralph have their work cut out for them in their own country, however. I'll have more to say about both of them next week.

An excellent article by George Soros, The bubble of American supremacy, on why the world is not supporting Bush's war to remove the tyrant Saddam Hussein. "The problem is that the world is allergic to the Bush doctrine ...(1) The United States will do everything in its power to maintain its unquestioned military supremacy; and (2) the United States arrogates the right to preemptive action. ... the Bush doctrine is not stated starkly; it is buried in Orwellian doublespeak. The doublespeak is needed because the doctrine contradicts American values. " Very highly recommended. Via Dave Farber's IP list....

George Bush, master of the big lie


George Bush, master of the big lie 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
George Bush, master of the big lie. I've been wondering all day today why I got so furious last night at Bush's unilateral declaration of war. I am not a pacifist, although I respect the point of view of those who are. While I believe that the US has been much too ready to resort to force, sometimes on the wrong side, I also believe that the use of military force is sometimes justified. For example, I reluctantly supported the Gulf War in 1991, although I agreed with then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell that we should have given sanctions more time to work. Under other circumstances, if it had been necessary, I can imagine supporting the use of military force to disarm Saddam Hussein, and perhaps even to remove him from power. So why have Bush's policies infuriated me, and why did Bush's declaration of war send me into a deep funk? Because of Bush's arrogance, mendacity, and cynical use of American idealism and patriotism for domestic political advantage. Bush is a habitual liar without principles, and none of the mainstream media or politicians call him on it. He has adopted Goebbels' tactic of repeating big lies so often that they come to be regarded as true. From the disputed vote count in Florida, where it was alleged that upset citizens (who turned out to be Republican congressional staffers) stopped the recount, to last night, when he announced that Saddam Hussein had 48 hours to leave the country, or he would bring military conflict on himself (yet it turned out the US military is going to invade Iraq, whether or not Saddam Hussein leaves), Bush is a practitioner of the Big Lie. For reasons I don't pretend to understand, but I'm guessing have to do with not wanting to divide what they perceive as a fragile country, or being afraid of being seen as "soft on terrorism," the media never stands up and says "He is lying again," even when it is the obvious conclusion from their own reporting. For instance, the information about the US military being ordered to invade Iraq, no matter what Saddam Hussein does, was buried in the middle of the New York Times. The NYT didn't call any attention to it, nor did they point out how it clearly it made Bush's "48 hours" speech a piece of political theater divorced from the military reality. They just buried it, and gave the big lie front page giant headline coverage. Clinton lied about sex and the press hounded him; Bush lies about everything, and the press broadcasts and amplifies the lie and suppresses the criticism. How else to explain the poll finding that a majority of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 911, a belief for which there is no evidence other than repeated assertions by Bush that it is so? The second part that infuriates me is Bush's arrogance, self-righteousness, and conviction that he has a monopoly on wisdom and judgment. Humility seems to be a foreign, or should I say European, concept to him. The continual belittling and insulting of allies, which I first took to be the result of incompetence, I have now become convinced is intentional. Bush's unspoken motto is now Oderint dum metuant, "let them hate as long as they fear". He is ...

George Orwell Bush


George Orwell Bush 09/05/2004 06:48 PM
  • Frank Rich (NY Times): How Kerry Became a Girlie-Man. The flaw in Mr. Kerry is not, as Washington wisdom has it, that he asked for trouble from the Swifties by bringing up Vietnam in the first place. Both his Vietnam service and Vietnam itself are entirely relevant to a campaign set against an unpopular and ineptly executed war in Iraq that was spawned by the executive branch in similarly cloudy circumstances. But having brought Vietnam up against the backdrop of our 2004 war, Mr. Kerry has nothing to say about it except that his service proves he's more manly than Mr. Bush. Well, nearly anyone is more manly than a president who didn't have the guts to visit with the 9/11 commission unaccompanied by a chaperone.

    George Bush Senior gets it:


    George Bush Senior gets it: 06/10/2004 01:25 AM
    One of George Bush senior' closest aides, long-time CIA officer Donald Gregg, writes in today's NYT: Recent reports indicate that Bush administration lawyers, in their struggles to deal with terrorism, wrote memos in 2003 pushing aside longstanding prohibitions on the use of torture by Americans. These memos cleared the way for the horrors that have been revealed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantánamo and make a mockery of administration assertions that a few misguided enlisted personnel perpetrated the vile abuse of prisoners. I can think of nothing that can more devastatingly undercut America's standing in the world or, more important, our view of ourselves, than these decisions. Sanctioned abuse is deeply corrosive — just ask the French, who are still seeking to eradicate the stain on their honor that resulted from the deliberate use of torture in Algeria. ... As Alistair Horne put it in "A Savage War of Peace," use of torture may have won the battle of Algiers for the French, but it cost them Algeria. This is as close to a public repudiation by George Bush Sr. of his son's criminal policies as I can imagine seeing, similar to the Brent Scowcraft anti-Iraq war Op-ed just before the Bush launched his war on Iraq. The price that America has paid for this Oedipal battle is stupendous....
