ETERNAL VIGILANCE

The Evidence Mounts Daily to
Impeach the Liar in Chief!

By Jim Betker
March 24, 2006

After reading this piece which contains excerpts from an interview of Lewis Lapham, Editor Emeritus of Harper's, where he talks about his essay in the March issue of Harper's, I thought it prudent to enter into a little diatribe of my own and spread the blame around a bit for allowing this egregious excuse for a man we call our President to continue on his merry way to the wholesale destruction of the planet and in the process to enslave all of us under the police state rule of the Global Plantation.

As the Editors of American Free Press have written about the Global Plantation,

You will either submit to it or fight against it, even if it hurts to fight. The NWO means unimaginable riches and power for the plutocrats but poverty and slavery for the rest of us. It means the total destruction of our traditional way of life, our Constitution, everything that millions of American men have suffered death, mutilation and a blighted life for. It means the end of our European heritage and culture, and will bring with it chaos, anarchy and dislocation on an unimaginable scale. It will be a reversal of the happy evolution to perfection that our "intellectuals" and "futurists" prate of. It begins the devolution of mankind to a lower state that our ancestors encountered for 10,000 years if not more. It will be the absolute antithesis of what has always been the goal of every philosopher and statesman since history began-stability and order.

I'll not list all of the infractions against Bush as there is much written already about it.

Lewis Lapham hits on the problem, and that is the despotism imposed by the majority party in the national legislature. There is a clear lack of backbone among the minority and a preponderance of criminal conspirators who are running the show in both the House and Senate. Even members of the majority party are lacking in intestinal fortitude and show little willingness to oppose Bush, Cheney and their necocon cohorts.

Bush is no Nixon, that is certain. Nixon had at least some credibility. The outrage over Nixon and Watergate is that Nixon moved to cover it up and lied to America.

Where is the outrage over this devious and perfidious liar George W. Bush with his "in your face" brand of propaganda and indoctrination called mirroring?

So despicable is this scoundrel that one wonders if the people have lost all sense of a moral compass that they are not storming the Bastille right at this moment.

And where is the Congress when they are needed to check the out of control power grab by the Executive branch?

"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature." James Garfield

No one is above the law, and Bush has shown complete and utter disregard for the rule of law, not only in this country, but internationally as well. He and his administration have, time and again, shown their complete contempt for the Law of Nations, which was drawn upon heavily by the men who founded this Republic, and all international treaties and agreements.

Should this surprise anyone after the moral morass and skullduggery displayed by the Clinton administration?

"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right... an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers." John Adams

The people forget, and must be reminded of their duty to hold our leaders to account for their actions, as they, being held up on a pedestal, owe us the duty and obligation to adhere to the hightest moral standards.

"…Our destruction, should it ever come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to their concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence." Daniel Webster

And after posting these words of wisdom from our forebears, who were ever so aware of the vagaries of human nature and the experience of mankind in his pursuit of liberty, how can we, as a people, ignore their pleadings to watch closely those we elect to maintain friendly relations with the nations of the world?

We only need to see the title and motto of this site, and nothing could be more true than these words by which all Americans should live and be aware of if they wish to maintain any liberty at all.

"The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; and which condition if he break; servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." John Pierpoint Curran, 1790

Let's face it, we are dangerous men to these scoundrels and the knaves who support them simply for the fact that we speak the truth. We may not be able to change much, but we will certainly change how these things affect us personally. We will also endeavor to motivate others to bring back the stability and order in international relations which Bush and the neocons have destroyed.

The surest remedy to achieve this is to begin impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney for their High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are." H.L. Mencken, in "Smart Set" magazine, December 1919

A Collapsing Presidency

By Paul Craig Roberts
March 19, 2006 VDARE.com

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center finds that President Bush’s support among the American people has fallen to 33%. Even more devastatingly, the survey finds that people’s most frequently used one-word description of President Bush is "incompetent."

The chief chaplain for the New York City Corrections Department told a Tucson audience that "the greatest terrorists in the world occupy the White House." Two years ago when New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was suppressing demonstrations at the Republican National Convention, the chief chaplain would have been fired for his remarks, but not today.

Abroad among peoples who formerly looked to America for leadership, American atrocities in Iraq have created sympathy and support for the Iraqi resistance.

When the Bush administration gets in trouble, it turns to war, which has worked for it in the past. Thus, this past week there was live coverage of "Operation Swarmer," which occupied a solid day on CNN and Fox "News." The venerable Washington Monthly reports that the hyped "assault on Samarra" was nothing but a Potemkin operation—a set propaganda piece to demonstrate US military prowess and the battle-ready "new Iraqi army," only there were no insurgents in Samarra to battle. The much-hyped "Operation Swarmer" was a photo op for TV cameras as troops fired into empty desert.

One can imagine the thoughts in Bush’s mind: "Thank goodness I didn’t capture bin Laden. Maybe he will strike again and bail me out."

What is going to rescue Bush? Not the Republican Party. A few Republican congressmen, such as Walter Jones, are trying to get a debate going, but Republicans believe that they are stuck to the fate of their man. There is no one within the administration to turn Bush toward diplomacy and away from coercion.

Created on the principle that "you are with us or against us," Bush’s administration is all of one mind. They are all neocons. There are no real conservatives or traditional Republicans in the Bush administration. This is the first administration in my lifetime in which there is no debate.The absence of debate means there is no check on reckless and ill-advised policies and corrupt schemes.

Neocons don’t believe in debate. They specialize in slandering critics and stamping out debate. Dissent is not possible within the Bush administration, because dissent is equated with treason and anti-Americanism. "You are with us or against us." Increasingly, Republicans demonize their critics as "abettors of terrorism." The Republicans’ intolerance for debate makes many Americans uneasy about the real purpose of the $385 million detention camp that Halliburton is building in the US for the Bush administration.

Neocons don’t believe in diplomacy. They believe in coercion. Neocons denigrate diplomacy as the epitome of weakness. Neocons slap down diplomacy before it can rise. The Iranians offered talks, and neocon National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley immediately slapped down the offer as "simply a device by the Iranians to try to divert pressure that they are feeling." The Bush neocons are bent on war with Iran. They don’t want any talks. In their books, neocons have demonized Muslims in the same way that the Nazis demonized Jews. Demonization makes talks impossible.

On March 17, William Rivers Pitt declared Bush to be "deranged, disconnected, and dangerous." But what else to expect from a neocon administration that declares that it creates its own reality and mocks its critics for being "reality-based." Neocons insanely believe that American power can be used to recreate the world in America’s image. Neocons are dangerous because they really believe that the US can invade the Middle East, deracinate Islam, and install puppet governments.

These disconnected neocons are not shaken by facts or by results. Their evil eye falls on US field commanders and CIA analysts who declare that the US military is creating insurgents faster than it can kill them.

Creating your own reality means that when you cannot put down a resistance based in 5 million Iraqi Sunnis, you attack 70 million Iranians, who are allied with 15 million Iraqi Shia, Hizbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Palestine.

The Bush administration is sending every signal that it is determined to go to war with Iran. Will the rest of the world block the American aggression, or will the rest of the world decide that it is in the world’s best interest for the hubris-driven hegemon to exhaust itself in conflict in the Middle East?

A thank you to readers: I appreciate the support demonstrated by your anger at the neocon web site, Frontpage, for slandering me. But to put a different light on the matter, let me ask you, what would you think of me if I were praised by Frontpage? Isn’t it preferable to be denounced by the neocon brownshirts? What better secures my reputation?

Neocons are incapable of debate, because they don’t believe in it. Neocons rely on disinformation and deceit to impose their agenda.
Neocons do not believe in the US Constitution, civil liberties, the separation of powers, or the Geneva Conventions. According to published reports, President Bush described the Constitution as "a scrap of paper." Bush’s attorney general, vice president, and secretary of defense have openly defended the Bush administration’s practice of torture, violations of habeas corpus, and illegal spying. These high officials, in violation of their oath of office, have openly declared that Bush, as commander-in-chief, is above the law.

What American ever expected to see the safeguards against tyranny put in place by the Founding Fathers removed in the name of providing security against terrorists by a president who purports to believe in original intent?

Neocons are Jacobins. They are a foreign import and do not share our American values. Neocons are a grave danger to the United States and to the world. Neocons have led America into two gratuitous on-going wars that cannot be won, and they are determined to lead us into more wars. It is our duty to defend our country and to oppose these evil people.

Editor's Comment: Roberts is on the mark as usual. He pinpoints the crux of the problem, and that is in the mind and manners of the ex-Trotskyite neocons.

The neocons and Bush would do well to harken back and observe the lessons of history that coercion is not the only way.

"An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot." Thomas Paine

The whole thing about coercion is that it creates more trouble than it is able to solve. Coercion has its proper place in government, as long as it is restrained and closely watched.

George Washington warned in his Farewell Address, "Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force, and like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

And Patrick Henry with the foresight provided by the experience of seeing human nature at some of its worst as conducted by the agents of the Crown and King George III said, “What will you do when evil men take office? When evil men take office, the whole gang will be in collusion! They will keep the people in utter ignorance and steal their liberty by ambuscade!”

George W. Bush and his neocon cohorts are the greatest danger to humanity and the survival of the planet as a life-giving force than any other time in history.

They need to be stopped, and quickly. Hopefully there will be more men of courage step forward and call to Impeach Bush.

One Gutsy Guy Against the Authorities
They’ve Thrown Ernst Zuendel in Jail for ‘Holocaust Denial’

The following are excerpts from an article published Feb. 21 in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a leading newspaper in Germany, on the thought crimes trial of Ernst Zuendel. Zuendel openly admits he’s a ‘Holocaust Denier.’

By Volker Zastrow
American Free Press | March 20, 2006

The Canadians have come to observe the trial of Ernst Zuendel. Zuendel is a Swabian [a region in Germany], the son of a woodworker from Calmbach in the Black Forest, where he was born in April 1939. In 1958 he emigrated to Toronto owing to, according to him, “anguish over his upcoming military service.” [Zuendel has been known for many years as a committed pacifist.]

Because Zuendel has spread his message [that “the Holocaust” is a media invention] since 1994, through the Internet—a warrant was filed against him in Mannheim at the urging of the public prosecutor at the time. Freedom of speech enjoys more prestige in the Anglo-Saxon tradition than in that of Continental Europe.

[The paper fails to mention that Zuendel was arrested in Tennessee and deported to Canada by the U.S.—Ed.]

As the small man in faded jeans, a light blue shirt and striped tie is led into the windowless courtroom by uniformed guards, the public welcomes him with applause. A good 80 of his supporters are there.

About half of them are of retirement age, born in the 30s or 40s: men in soft shoes and in pullovers that aren’t out of style because they were never in style. Women are there too, of the same age, who have gone to more trouble to obtain the same drab result. In addition, there are a few tastefully dressed women with white hair brushed back and fastened at the nape of the neck, with faces bare of makeup and lively eyes. . . .

The proceedings opened months ago, ending on Nov. 9 with the dismissal of defense attorney Sylvia Stolz as principal attorney for Zuendel, by court order. Moreover, the state prosecutor Grossmann began preliminary proceedings against her for inciting hatred. Another case is pending in Lunenburg.

Meanwhile, “Frauelein [Miss] Stolz,” as her supporters call her, is Zuendel’s third defense attorney, along with Juergen Rieger and the elderly Dr. Herbert Schaller from Vienna. Coolly she proceeds to interrupt the judge. Hardly has he gotten out one or a few sentences, when her “Herr [Mr.] Meinerzhagen” sound off. This is not a lack of self control on her part: Miss Stolz is waging war against the judge’s adrenal glands. By tiny battle flag after battle flag, she moves her pieces forward on her psychological war map, and each flag is a needle into the judge’s brain.

Frauelein Stolz is in her early 40s, but she has kept her maidenly figure and when not wearing her lawyerly robes emphasizes it with a clinging black dress. She definitely weighs less than 110 pounds. With her little black dress she wears black stockings and black, buckled, Rococo-style shoes, and a silk scarf in tones of bright purple—the same purple as the old Reich flag under the old Reich eagle crowning her letterhead; obviously her ink-jet printer was unable to come up with blood-red to go with the black and white.

Beneath it is written: “Acting on behalf of the German Reich without authorization.” [The German Reich, after over eleven centuries of existence, was suspended de facto in 1945 by the victory of the Allies. Its head of state after Hitler, Admiral Karl Doenitz, with whom the Allies negotiated the surrender, was simply arrested and jailed in 1945. German patriots today view the “Federal Republic of Germany” as a foreign occupation structure using German puppets.]

Again and again Meinerzhagen loses his train of thought, especially as he is dictating the protocol, in which—unhappy peculiarity of the German language—the connection between the beginning and end of a complicated sentence can easily be lost. The judge blows his stack, and Fraulein Stolz purrs over the microphone: “Herr Meinerzhagen, why must you go around shouting? Is it really necessary for you to do that?

She doesn’t raise her voice when she interrupts. The impression she gives is of total innocence. The judge’s face gets red. “My name is Dr. Meinerzhagen.” He does not wish the defense lawyer to address him as a private citizen.

“I am the presiding judge of these chambers and am directing this hearing.”

“Herr Meinerzhagen,. . .”

“Dr. Meinerzhagen!”

“Do you wish me to address you by your title of ‘doctor’?”

“My name is Dr. Meinerzhagen and I wish to be addressed as “Your Honor.”

“Herr Meinerzhagen, I will take note of that. I will address you by your name. That’s how it will be.”

In the sweetest schoolgirl voice. . . .

Everyone knows very well what the sentence will be—“four, five, or six years,” as Gunter Deckert says, the former National Democratic Party chairman, who is among the observers. He too has served time in prison for “incitement to hatred.” In 1988 he was dismissed from public service; however, he presents himself to the Canadian reporters by his previously correct official title: “Ober-Studien-Rat [Assistant Senior Headmaster]: that is the highest degree for teachers.”

The emotional temperature in the room has now reached the boiling point. The judge interrogates three men who on the second day of the proceedings, with the session ended, had sung the [rarely ever used] first verse of the national anthem. [“Germany over all else”—material goods, local loyalties—“in the world.”]

The oldest of the three is the 39-year-old artisan Dirk Reinecke; he has faced the same incitement charges in Potsdam and Bernau; Frauelein Stolz has defended him too. His words now are “fire and flames.” Both of the younger defendants, Kevin K. and Silvio M., also from eastern Germany, are relatively clueless, and limit their responses to “I agree totally” [with Reinicke] and “Uh, yeah.”

The court fines them 200 euros [almost $300]. Reinecke says scoffingly that he feels honored to be sentenced by this judge. Someone yells “I’d never have expected such a thing from a German judge!” “Here, obviously, we’re not dealing with a German judge,” remarks Frauelein Stolz. One of the observers yells “Freisler!” [a Third Reich judge infamous for his open partisanship].

The public prosecutor stands up: “Who called out ‘Freisler?’ Show yourself, coward!” Frauelein Stolz points her finger at the public prosecutor: “You are the coward!”

The “coward” from amongst the observers, meanwhile, has shown himself; obviously he either isn’t one or did not expect what now awaits him: four days in jail, to be served on the spot. The police—the courthouse is guarded by three concentric rings of special forces—lead the man out. “Poor Germany,” says Frauelein Stolz. Her mentor, the disbarred attorney Horst Mahler, folds his hands over his stomach and smiles knowingly.

Editor's comment: The saga of Ernst Zuendel continues and the neocon managers of Germany look ever more foolish in the process as they bow down to their Zionist masters.

When the layers of the onion are peeled away there is revealed a putrid and sick political corpse which is rotting from within.

Soon, the tide will turn against this insanity and these parasites will flee for their very lives as the rush to judgement against their slavish loyalty to an alien power finds them wondering how they could have been so wrong.

It's quite simple. What they have been doing and what they now do is against basic human nature and runs counter to the Natural Law. It will never work, and we see as the train picks up speed, that the wheels will soon come flying off with the ensuing wreck becoming more readily apparent to bystanders.

We can only hope that the innocent will be spared any further anguish and suffering in the headlong plunge toward disaster which these plundering puppets have initiated and on which they are surely losing their grip.
