So, What are You going to Do?

by C/O Diogenes Sunday, Jun. 08, 2003 at 2:27 AM

Michael Rivero hits another Home Run with today's Commentary at WhatReallyHappened.com "We stand at a crossroads. The head-of-state of the most powerful nation on Earth has been caught justifying a war of conquest with fraud and deception. ..."

So, what are you going to do?

You cannot avoid it any longer. You cannot pretend it did not happen. You cannot wish it away. It's real.

The President of the United States lied to start a war.

Under our system of laws, only Congress has the authority to send our troops off to war. The 30 days granted to the President under the War Powers Act were long exhausted from the ongoing bombing raids in Iraq when Congress did pass a bill authorizing military intervention in Iraq shortly after 9-11. However, that bill authorized military force only under certain conditions. One of those conditions was that President Bush had to prove that Saddam Hussein was in violation of UN Resolution 1441 calling for the removal of all weapons of mass destruction.

So, prior to launching the invasion of Iraq, Bush stated to the Congress and to the world that he did have proof that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Not only did Bush make that claim, but so did Colin Powell. So did Tony Blair. And citing the authority previously granted to him by the Congress, Bush waged war on Iraq. And Iraq fell. Easily.

Too easily.

Unlike Desert Storm 1, there was no sky filled with fireworks-bright anti-aircraft fire to oppose the bombers over Baghdad. Iraq turned out not only to not be a threat to anyone else, it turned out not to be able to mount a serious defense against invasion.

Contrary to the assurances of Bush and Blair, there were no chemical or biological weapons used to defend Iraq even as it gasped its last breath as an independent sovereign nation. The only nuclear weapons used were the depleted uranium weapons showered all over Iraq by the invaders. Just as no weapons of mass destruction were found by the United Nations prior to the invasion, and no weapons of mass destruction were deployed during the invasion, no weapons of mass destruction have been discovered since the invasion. Every site claimed to harbor weapons of mass destruction turned out upon closer inspection to be harmless. Every piece of equipment loudly ballyhooed each morning as proof of Saddam's perfidy was inevitably proven benign by nightfall. Even the trailers, proclaimed to be mobile biological weapons labs (even though devoid of both germs, and the special handling equipment needed for such work) turned out to be industrial tools.  No weapons of mass destruction. No remains of weapons of mass destruction. Nothing. Saddam was not in defiance of UN Resolution 1441. Even the UN weapons team agrees on this. And if Iraq was not in defiance of UN Resolution 1441, then the Congressional authorization for military action in Iraq was not in effect. Bush did not have legal authority to invade. Bush misappropriated the US military, without congressional approval, for an illegal war. A criminal war.

I imagine that all those poor fools who stood besides Bush have to be feeling pretty stupid right now. Bush used them, just like Stalin used his "useful idiots", to serve his personal agenda. Fools and cowards; that is how history will remember those who fell for Bush's lies.

Of course, Bush had help with the lie. Cheney helped pressure the CIA to go along with the lie. Colin Powell spoke the lie to the United Nations, backed up by a 12 year-old stolen student thesis and outdated photographs, punctuated for drama with a glass vial of (we hope) talcum powder. Blair helped the lie. Clear Channel not only helped with the lie, it paid for the parties for the above-mentioned useful idiots. O'Reilly helped the lie. So did Rush. So did Savage. So did a lot of other people.  You know who you are.

The people of the United States were lied to in order to start a war. It doesn't matter what may be found or planted in Iraq from now on, the unquestionable fact is that at the time that Bush and Blair claimed to have proof of Iraq's WMDs, they did not. They had stolen student papers, outdated photos, talcum powder, and a lot of wishful thinking. They lied. Nothing can change that. Not only did they lie, but they did so intentionally and with premeditation. Cheney pressured the CIA to alter their report to support the claim of WMDs. Blair sent British Intelligence's report back for revisions at least once and possibly as many as six times.

So, what are you going to do?

Are you going to live in a nation governed by lies? Will you spend the rest of your life knowing your mind is being controlled by those who control what you know, who lie, conceal, spin, twist, and disinform so that you will come to the conclusions the liars want you to come to? Mind control isn't some science fiction machine, it is simply controlling the brain by controlling what it knows or believes. By lying.

Is a war necessary? How can you know that it is if you live under a government that lies?

Is the death of a politician really a suicide, or a "lone assassin"? How can you know that it is if you live under a government that lies?

Is the amendment that authorizes the income tax properly ratified? How can you know that it is if you live under a government that lies?

Are elections fair and honest? How can you know that they are if you live under a government that lies?

Are living conditions really better here than anywhere else on Earth? How can you know that they are if you live under a government that lies?

Were Arabs really behind 9-11? How can you know that they were if you live under a government that lies?

And you do. You do live under a government that lies to you. Bush just proved it.

So, what are you going to do?

We stand at a crossroads. The head-of-state of the most powerful nation on Earth has been caught justifying a war of conquest with fraud and deception. We, as the people of that nation, have a moral duty to remove that head-of-state, and indeed all who helped in that lie. We have a duty to leave a better government to our children than that which was left to us, and the very first thing we must do is remove government officials who would lie to us, and to our children, especially to send them off to die in wars.

The Constitution of the United States does not explicitly authorize the government to lie to the people. Check it yourself; it is not in there. And the Tenth Amendment prohibits the government from assuming that authority. Therefore, under the Constitution, every politician who lies acts unconstitutionally and illegally. When the lie becomes institutional, when the government leadership as a whole lies to the people, then the government itself is unconstitutional and illegal. A government that lies to the people breaks faith with the people. A government that lies to the people loses the moral right to rule.

Therefore, the Congress also stands at a crossroad. It cannot legitimize the lies of Bush without delegitimizing itself. Congress cannot pretend to trust a lying President and keep the trust of the voters and taxpayers. Congress cannot acquit the liars without incriminating themselves. But Congress are habitual liars themselves and often admire the skill with which other officials can lie to the people and be believed. They will need "encouragement" to do the right thing.

I know that you are all discouraged because the war in Iraq happened despite the huge peace demonstrations you all put together. But you need to take a deep breath and get ready to rock again. Those demonstrations you all did laid the foundation for what must be done now. Those demonstrations showed the rest of America and the world that there has always been doubt of the legitimacy of this war. No longer can the mainstream media pretend that opposition to the war and to Bush's lies comes from only a tiny minority, too small to matter. And the recent election results in other countries that saw pro-war candidates soundly defeated have sent a message to Capitol Hill that being pro-war is a serious liability going into 2004's election season. Vote-rigging can change a slim percentage but it cannot reverse a landslide.

So here is the call to phone, to keyboards, to FAX, and yes, to protest signs. Next week are the start of hearings into the lies about Iraqi WMDs. YOU need to let your congressmen know in no uncertain terms that they either get rid of the liars, or get a new job. Focus on the congressmen up for re-election in 2004 and let them know that how they deal with the liar in the White House will be the sole deciding factor in whether you will vote for them next election. Remind them of the pronounced anti-war trend sweeping elections world-wide.

Rest assured that the warhawks have their phone banks running full tilt boogie to try and get Dubya off of the hook. If you do not phone, FAX, or visit, Congress will abrogate its duty and write the liars who lied to start a war a get-out-of-jail free card.

It's up to you. History will judge our nation on what actions you take or do not take in the coming week.

The actions of the Bush Junta...

by Diogenes Sunday, Jun. 08, 2003 at 2:37 AM

...are unacceptable. They are not merely unacceptable they are CRIMINAL. There is no other word that fits the actions of Bush and his minions. They have lied, stolen, and murdered. These are the actions of a Criminal. They are not behavior that is acceptable in a President of the United States.

We are at a Crossroads. Down one avenue is a fight to reclaim the freedom which our ancestors tried to pass on to us. Down the other lies a tyranny and a nightmare of endless war and conquest; death, destruction, and slavery.

The hour is late but we have not passed beyond hope. We have not passed beyond the point where we are powerless to do something about it.

So, what are you going to do?

Doing nothing is a choice. It is a coward's choice but it is a choice.

Doing something requires a little bit of courage.

So, what are you going to do?



“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

-- Sir Winston Churchill

Are you actually saying that any and ALL military force is "illegal".

Nonsense. Furthermore, in as much as legality even enters into this, which, frankly, it doesn't, any and all military action against Iraq was justified from the moment Iraq broke the terms of the ceasefire after '91. The moment they fired on coalition forces patrolling the agreed to no-fly zones, all military action was justified.

You're flat out wrong.

by @ Sunday, Jun. 08, 2003 at 9:27 AM

(1) Lying to the American people.

(2) Violating the sovereignty of another member of the United Nations without provocation and without the backing of the UN.

(3) Violation of his oath of office. Anyone that signed the PATRIOT Act should be put on trial for treason and, if found guilty, receive the maximum punishment.

(4) Corruption: Awarding contracts for rebuilding Iraq in an illegal and non-competitive fashion, primarily to his buddies.

(5) Failure to heed warnings from the CIA and FBI concerning the threat of terrorist attacks during the summer of 2001. The consequence this failure was the murder of 3000 Americans.

Post by "@" above

by Bush Admirer Sunday, Jun. 08, 2003 at 11:45 AM

I've read a lot of dumb posts on Indymedia, but I do believe the one by "@" just above has to be the dumbest of all.

How could anyone be that self deluded. It must be a tongue in cheek attempt at humor Saturday Night Live style.

First of all, GWB is not a liar. That was his predecessor.

Secondly, he had suffiicient UN support for the action undertaken in Iraq. But that doesn't mean that the USA should ever bow and become subservient to the UN. The day that happens will be a very sad day indeed. Go tell the mothers of all the dead people in those mass Iraqi graves that Bush violated Iraqi sovereignty.

The PATRIOT act is just a step in the right direction, and away from the politically correct insanity that the liberal left has attempted to foist off on us for years. Those Guantanamo terrorists are exactly where they ought to be. That other terrorist, Zacarias Massoui, ought to be there too.

There has been no evidence of any corruption in awarding of Iraq post war contracts. That's pure liberal fantasy, just like the fantasy that this was about oil. The one thing we reconfirmed from the war protest is that liberals still have their heads up their collective assess just as they always have.

And of course your fifth point is even more ridiculous than the other four (I know it's hard to believe that anything could be more ridiculous than your first four points, but this one is).

You even know that you are wrong. You post here only because it has become your job. There is nothing absurd or irrational in analyzing the evidence and drawing the logical conclusions. There is a ton evidence supporting Mossad involvement in 9/11.

How do you explain the Mossad agents that posed as Israeli Art students visiting Defense Contractors and Government Offices before 9/11, shadowing al-Qaeda, and Israel's history of not providing the US with critical intelligence that would stop terrorist attacks (such as the Marine Barraks bombing in Beruit)?

You rely upon the fact that the media is in Israel's pocket to push forth the illusion that if a position is not endorsed by the media, it must be irrational. The Weapons of Mass Destruction claims by Bush were endorsed by the media and they have now proved to be LIES. We have no reason to consider the corporate media as a standard by which rationality should be based.

Yes, Bush Admirer, you may be able to convince the majority of brainwashed Americans that you are correct, but one does not need a majority to bring a fascist dictatorship down. One needs only a committed minority. All major revolutions have been fought by minorities, this includes the American Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Cuban Revolution and so on.

by Bush Admirer Monday, Jun. 09, 2003 at 4:13 PM

Good idea on limited government Dio.

I'd suggest we start by cutting 50% of government jobs and 50% of taxes. We could cancel all entitlement programs and eliminate income transfer payments by the government. Let the people who earn the money keep their money.

Great idea Dio.

We do need the Feds to do a few things like building interstate highways, maintaining a strong military and law enforcement capability, a strong intelligence service, etc.

But we can shut down social services completely. We can shut down whole departments starting with the Department of Labor.

Hey, I'm starting to like this plan of your Dio.

I know it's hard to shoehorn into your tiny skull the facts that people can look at the same information and come to different conclusions as you, and that people who disagree with you are not being paid by the government to do so, but you're just gonna have to deal with it.

Or don't. I don't care; you sinking into your own personal miasma of hate and paranoia is of absolutely no concern to me.

2.Intentionally bombing AL Jazera, you may not agree with there journalism but I'm pretty sure the US knew what theywere shooting at.

3.Shelling the Al Rasheed hotel in bagdahad killing two more journalist.

4.The bomb that killed all the people in the market in Bagdad

5.The compltete distruction of the infastructure of Iraq including the looting of the musem while our troops stood by and watched. "



So this is what you have as far as crimes.

This is your list of Bush's crimes.

You fools.

Get your head outa your collective asses.

You've just listed some of the defining characteristics of war in general.

You all have nothing and you know it.

I'm out now. But rest assured I'll be thinking of you idiots from time to time.

...the thread with a little dose of disgusting Spam eh? Go ahead and wave that Red Flag.

What we need is a Justice System -period. What we have now is a very corrupt Legal System. The two are not equivalent.

A sound Justice System would be of benefit to all.

However, to correct it we must first make more people aware of the exact failings and how to correct it.

They are really quite simple:

Corrupt Judges.

A reliance on "Precedent" as opposed to what the Constitution and the Law actually says.

Corrupt Politicians passing laws of benefit to their constituencies as opposed to the nation as a whole.

Laws that attempt to regulate morality and non-intrusive, but possibly deleterious to the individual, behavior - such as Abortion and the so-called "War on Drugs", or any other such. Those are just two prominent examples.

There are other things but these are a start. The fundamentals.

However the issue right now is that we need to push heavily for the Impeachment of that Bastard Murderer Bush.

BUSH LIED, CHILDREN DIED. It is really that simple.

How to bring the justice back to the system.

That is the question we must ask and answere before any of these mass

murders and war criminals are delt with properly. We have a fascist co-dependent law system here. How about a sunlight provision for the juries

in order to allow full content of evidence without court 'instructions'.

Law by Jury as it was intended.

...the "Legal Community" does not like to talk about is Jury Rights. And a Juror does have rights but they are rarely informed of them unless they have done their own homework.

One of those rights is "Jury Nullification" wherein the Jury may, at it's discretion, return a Not Guilty Verdict which is contrary to the Written Law i.e., return a Not Guilty Verdict when someone has violated an unjust law. This is rarely done, I believe, only because more people are not informed of their right to do this.

Ashcroft is a Criminal in High Office and should be, charged, convicted, and put away for the rest of his natural life. Won't happen with the current corrupt Junta but it would be Just.

For starters False arrest and illegal detention of Jose Padilla - who while he may be a scumbag has legal rights to Counsel, Charges Placed before a Court, and a Trial by Jury. None of which he has been given. All in direct violation of the Constitution Reichsfuhrer Ashcroft raised his corrupt hand and gave an oath to uphold.

Violation of the Constitution in illegally violating the 4th and 5th Amendments they are part of what is known as the Bill of Rights. Of course Reichsfuhrer Ashcrap seems to have neither Knowledg nor Respect for the Constitution. Not qualities you want in an Attorney General.

A) I'm sure you can go on. Your ability to fabricate bullshit is limitless.

B) the Padilla fantasy is just that. There is obviously no False arrest or illegal imprisonment. Everthing that's happened to that animal has been legal. What's more, you KNOW that.

Just more bullshit from our resident drama queen.

benifit jobs that cost more money to commute to than you can afford. No time
with the children in a city that has no programs because the services are broken or closed. So far, I've only seen capital flight to people now getting these tax cuts. This is a silent war and the losers are most of us.

Average person, "capital flight" is what happens when the capital leaves the country. This money is being returned to the people who paid the taxes.

You don't see any economic improvement since the end of the war? Look at oil prices. Look at stock prices. These are indicators that an average person can look at to quickly gauge the health of the economy.

Economies run in cycles. A slowdown in the slowdown is a good thing. It will turn around. It always has.
