Waxing Paranoiac about G.W. Bush and the California Recall

If you aren't scared, you aren't paying attention.


In a more innocent time - three days ago - I was wondering if W. knows that he's evil. I'm not being flip. I was watching The Final Conflict (Omen III) for the umpteenth time I really wondered - can you be the anti-Christ and not know it? I'm not saying W. is the anti-Christ - I won't give him that much credit. I'm just wondering if evil-doers always perceive themselves as evil. I mean, what if he really believes the lies he's telling? What if he really doesn't understand that he's destroying our democracy, bankrupting our government, and putting us all in the greatest danger we've ever been in. Did Hitler know he was nuts?

Then there was the other day, as I was watching JFK, when I thought it interesting that Texans were involved in the two most devastating events in American history - JFK's assassination and the 2000 election, both of which were nothing short of coups d'etat. After doing a little research, I'm getting worried.

There has been a lot of articles lately comparing the current administration to a fledgeling fascist regime. All of the Orwellian elements are there:

• perpetual war against a vaguely defined enemy;


• constantly shifting priorities;


• loss of civil rights under the guise of protecting us;


• increased surveillance by government agencies;


• blacklisting of reporters, judges and anyone who dares dissent;


• a cowed and perhaps bribed Media that reports only what the administration wants us to know;


• secrecy under the guise of national security;


• ideological zeal on the part of a patristic despot who thinks he's receiving messages from "God" and thinks he's never wrong;


• an opposition party terrified to oppose;


• interference with formerly independent scientific organizations to support the governments twisted ideology;


• misdirection and bold faced lies that make it appear that the government is supporting the troops, educating our children and cleaning our air when in reality veteran's benefits, education and social programs are being severely cut at the same time corporations are given unprecedented freedom to pollute and exploit our environment and our people;


• corruption and graft that includes financial ties to and protection of the government that supported the 9/11 terrorists;


• massive budget manipulations that benefit the rich and leave the poor with little or no safety net;

An unprecedented attempt to allow religious fanatics to dictate policy, influence legislation, and use federal money to further their agenda under the guise of social programs.

• Manipulation of democratic elections;


• Interference with the judicial process;


• Violations of international law and the Geneva Convention.

Did I forget anything? On what started out as a lark, I did a couple of internet searches. One was on Bush and Lyndon Johnson. The other was on Bush and crimes. There are some links at left that you can use to get more information on these topics, but basically here's what seems to be true:

• Prescott Bush, W's grandfather, made a great deal of money doing business with the Nazis.


• "Poppy" Bush, or Bush 1.0, was probably behind the Bay of Pigs invasion and, along with Nixon, Ford and Dulles, involved in the Kennedy assassination.


• GHW Bush still works for the Carlysle group, which has ties to Saudi Arabia.


• W.'s 2 failed businesses were bailed out by Saudi Arabian money.


• W. knew about 9/11 before it happened.


• W. lied about Iraq and WMD


• W. is being sued RIGHT NOW for rape


• W. stole the 2000 election with the help of his brother Jeb and his girlfriend Katherine Harris. The Supreme Court Justices which illegally stopped the re-count was rewarded with impressive jobs for their children


• W. and Co. are behind the recall in California.
  

The California recall is of vital importance. The media is making light of it, but it may be the key to the 2004 election. If a Republican gets control, he'll do the Jeb Bush play: Minority voters will be purged from the rolls long before the election; ballot boxes will disappear; voting machines will mysteriously show Republican candidates when the voters marked Democrats; Minorities will be systematically prevented from voting.

Arnold is a Republican. His father was a Nazi soldier. California has enough electoral votes to throw an election. Draw your own conclusion.
