Presidential inauguration 2005

Well Americans about now are aware that the “Bush Carination” is in full swing. This essentially exclusive orgy is being held in many places with many happy revelers.

There are these Simi fat little “pink” balding men at this celebration trying to dance, waving their soft hands as if trying to fly, stomping their feet as if they were crushing wine grapes, and arms moving up and down as of they were trying to fly. This is their rendition of dance to the tunes of “The Temptations” which is one the few groups the “Moral Majority” has approved for this celebartion.

In contrast their spouses well heeled and well dressed (white women) who display more characteristics of having some rhythm, but dancing with each other. When finishing their dance they kiss each other on their rosy cheeks (thank God) and part with the patting of each other’s hands. Thank God it is not their buts they are patting.

Bush, God, Fox, and the International Criminal Court

Here's an interesting theory for why Bush attacked Iraq.  He did so in order to violate international law.  This is what Eric Zuesse argues in "Iraq War, the Truth," a 188-page book from Delphic Press.

The book is better than its title or its preface.  Zuesse makes a case that Bush's central motivation in launching this war was to render the United Nations and the International Criminal Court powerless.  Bush didn't attack and occupy Iraq in order to eliminate weapons that he already knew didn't exist.  And looting the oil and other resources (and the US Treasury) for corporate cronies was a side benefit.  Attacking in violation of international law, and using napalm and depleted uranium in the attack, was not a regrettable circumstance to Bush.  He would not have preferred to have UN backing, because his primary enemy was never Saddam Hussein; it was the United Nations.  What about "liberating the Iraqis"?  Bush believed that one.  He didn't expect the Iraqis to continue resisting.  But that wasn't why he started the war.

Harvey Wasserman's Interview of Dec.29, 2004

I have read the interview, and I find myself becoming a little upset with the electoral college, to a point that my vote was wasted on a candidate that was not going to become president because the election was fixed before the votes were even counted.  I also find myself a little upset at Senator Kerry for not challenging the results of the electoral college, it would seem that he did not to become president, and now with the voters of Ohio calling for a recount or re-vote he turned a deaf ear to them, and to every citizen in the nation, who voted for him.  I find it appalling that we have a president that would or has stooped these types of tactics to win an election.  How can this president try to spread democracy to other nations, and speak of fair elections in other nations when his election and re-election is somewhat tainted?  The nations of the world have lost a lot of respect for the office of president, since George W.

Thanks for keeping the issues alive

Thanks again for fighting for Ohio and helping to keep the issue alive.  I notice that you have had the habit of joining and fighting for all of the great causes of recent times.  And, while it's hard to win everything due to the structure of society, in each instance you've won large victories.  I believe you will see that your efforts over the election fraud issue will pay off eventually.

At any rate, the only faith I have in improvement is from the hope of seeing courageous individuals like yourself take on the system and winning.

Moss v. Bush moves on and movement continues

The lawsuit challenging Ohio's 2004 presidential race has been withdrawn from the Ohio Supreme Court, having served as a lightning rod to draw national attention to the widespread and possibly illegal irregularities in the vote that gave George W. Bush a term as president starting in January.

While the election challenge lawyers say they may raise the suit's constitutional and civil rights issues in other legal venues, the case, Moss. V. Bush, became a vehicle for an aggressive investigation of irregularities in the Ohio presidential vote that culminated in a congressional challenge of the 2004 Electoral College.

A flat out whopper

AUSTIN, Texas -- Cheez, I go to all this trouble not to call the president of the United States a liar -- perhaps misinformed, did not seem to know about, no one has told him, etc. -- and then he just comes flat out with a whopper.

Drolly enough, he prefaced his latest with the unlikely statement, "As a matter of fact ..." before he proceeded to do battle against truth: "... by the time today's workers who are in their mid-20s begin to retire, the system will be bankrupt. So if you're 20 years old, in your mid-20s, and you're beginning to work, I want you to think about a Social Security system that will be flat bust, bankrupt, unless the United States Congress has got the willingness to act now. And that's what we're here to talk about, a system that will be bankrupt."

Stingy is as…

George W. Bush gasped at the effrontery: how dare U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egelund charge that the developed nations of the world have been “stingy” when it comes to tsunami relief! The President fired back petulantly that the United States is a “generous, kindhearted nation”. And so it is, judging from the many charitable donations made by American individuals and corporations since Egelund’s comment. But bear in mind three other truths.

     1. The initial offer of aid by the United States government was only $15 million, a gratuitously insulting amount considering what is being spent to murder innocents in the President’s war on Iraq, and to celebrate that slaughter at the second Bush inaugural. The Bush Administration pours hundreds of billions into a preemptive war against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

     2. The eventual offer of $350 million was made very grudgingly after several highly critical stories by the media.

     3. If you would know the values of a nation or of an individual human being, “follow the money”; those truly generous and kind-hearted spend more to heal than to kill.

The real reason Bush wants to privatize Social Security

Much has been heard about Social Security being “in crisis.” It isn’t. Very long term, there’s a potential problem if current longevity trends continue. We are living a lot longer, and sometime around 2040 there might be more people collecting than paying in. We shouldn’t ignore it altogether. But the so-called crisis isn’t why George W. Bush wants to gradually substitute private investment accounts for part of the trust fund. Like everything else in the Karl Rove White House, it’s a smokescreen.

Bush isn’t the sharpest tack on the bulletin board, needless to say, but his Wall Street friends have surely reminded him of what is bound to happen if a flood of new money pours into mutual funds and stocks all at once. That’s right…a bull market that will make the 1990s look tame. A new generation of Gordon Gekkos will proclaim that greed is good, indeed.

And that’s the whole point. Republicans have never forgiven Bill Clinton for anything. It’s not just about Monica Lewinsky. How unjust for Bush that a bull market in stocks ended just as Clinton left office! How unfair that the budget surplus under

Reconsider your article

Dear Dr. J. Alva Scruggs!
I'm just a visitor of your web-site.My name is Anastasiya,I'm from Ukraine.

Let me put in sharper focus your article "US tells Ukraine to recount votes on fradulent election!"(dated November 25, 2004)

To my mind you made a mistake by using the name of Mr.Yanukovich-instead of Mr.Yushenko.(a cadidate from opposition)

It was Mr Yushenko who was supported by the USA and it was he(Yushenko)who"has chosen continue to stand with his supporters and fight for an honest look at the Fraud"

Please check this facts! Thanks for your consideration!

To Continue Liberty, We all Must be Involved!

From the beginning of the 2004 election the constituency of Democrat voters could be described as scared optimists. We willingly gave our money, time and effort and fought hard for a cause we ultimately lost. As we watched the campaign take its course, the hypocrisy of the Bush-Rove political machine alternately left us either slack-jawed or confounded with its hypocrisy, its deceit, and its determination to rewrite our freedom! This, of course began way before 9/11! Between the corporately funded propaganda collaborating with the media’s ludicrous political judgments, we felt as Sherlock Holmes, when he said, “I wonder how a battery feels when it pours electricity into a non-conductor!”
