Bush Overseeing Death Of The American Republic 

Comment by Larry Ross,  June 23, 2007

 

Robert Parry is a great American journalist and author who has exposed the truth about the Bush regime and previous US regimes in his books and articles.

What he says, and the examples he uses, such as that of General Antonia Taguba, indicates a deep US criminal conspiracy to take over America and install a fascist military-type regime.  In a sense they have that already, with Bush exercising a kind of fascist authoritarianism, lying to Americans and continuing his illegal Iraq war based on lies in which he has already killed 650,000 people.    

For Congress and the American people to accept that, even share in it, and Parry's following paper, is an awesome demonstration of how far Bush and his Administration have progressed toward the neocon's aim of global domination. Most politicians have shown they will fund his wars, share his lies and deceptions, but they will not help stop Bush. So it is up to individual concerned Americans.

Those who want America back had better become very active to impeach Bush. See the American idea for DIY impeachment plan, a link is also on this site.

Bush's Mafia Whacks the Republic

by Robert Parry, Consortium News, June 20, 2007

 

    In years to come, historians may look back on U.S. press coverage of George W. Bush's presidency and wonder why there was not a single front-page story announcing one of the most monumental events of mankind's modern era - the death of the American Republic and the elimination of the "unalienable rights" pledged to "posterity" by the Founders.

    The historians will, of course, find stories about elements of this extraordinary event - Bush's denial of habeas corpus rights to a fair trial, his secret prisons, his tolerance of torture, his violation of Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches, his "signing statements" overriding laws, the erosion of constitutional checks and balances.

    But the historians will scroll through front pages of the New York Times, the Washington Post and every other major newspaper - as well as scan the national network news and the 24-hour cable channels - and find not a single story connecting the dots, explaining the larger picture: the end of a remarkable democratic experiment which started in 1776 and which was phased out sometime in the early 21st century.

    How, these historians may ask, did the U.S. press corps miss one of history's most important developments? Was it a case like the proverbial frog that would have jumped to safety if tossed into boiling water but was slowly cooked to death when the water was brought to a slow boil?

    Or was it that journalists and politicians intuitively knew that identifying too clearly what was happening in the United States would have compelled them to action, and that action would have meant losing their jobs and livelihoods? Perhaps, too, they understood that there was little they could do to change the larger reality, so why bother?

    As for the broader public, did the fear and anger generated by the 9/11 attacks so overwhelm the judgment of Americans that they didn't care that President Bush had offered them a deal with the devil, he would promise them a tad more safety in exchange for their liberties?

    And what happened to the brave souls who did challenge Bush's establishment of an authoritarian state? Why, the historians may wonder, did the American people and their representatives not rise up as Bush systematically removed honorable public servants who did their best to uphold the nation's laws and principles?
