James Ridgeway of the Village Voice has a great piece on the Bush Crime Family:
The Bush Family Coup: Son revisits the sins of the father on America
Here's a brief selection:
"Between 1960 and 1974, the FBI conducted half a million investigations of so-called subversives, without a single conviction, and maintained files on well over a million Americans. The FBI tapped phones, opened mail, planted bugs, and burglarized homes and offices. At least 26,000 individuals were at one point catalogued on an FBI list of persons to be rounded up in the event of a “national emergency.” Hoover was particularly obsessed with Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, which he thought was influenced by communists. The FBI proceeded to undermine the civil rights movement, planting agents among the Freedom Riders (and also the Ku Klux Klan). Hoover put spies into the ranks of labor activists and of Democratic Party insurgents during the 1964 presidential campaign.
"Meanwhile, the CIA began spying domestically. The Agency planted informants of its own within the United States, especially on college campuses. Between 1953 and 1973, they opened and photographed nearly a quarter of a million first-class letters, producing an index of nearly 1.5 million names. Under something called Operation CHAOS, separate files were created on approximately 7,200 Americans and over 100 domestic groups. In 1964, the CIA even created a secret arm called the Domestic Operations Division, the very name of which flew in the face of its legal charter. Back then, there were no “communications problems” between the two agencies."
This piece discusses the 1976 Church Committee investigation, which revealed law enforcement and intel agencies running seriously amok. Similar to getting Capone through tax evasion charges, the CIA and FBI abuses were revealed not by investigations in the established Senate and House Intelligence Committees, which had long been infiltrated and controlled by the CIA/Military/Industrial players, but by an investigation of accounting abuses. This is often how criminals are nailed and hopefully the same tactic can be used to nail Don Bush and his cronies.
With all the recent discussion of the FISA statutes, it has been revealed that, out of the thousands of FISA warrants sought by the government since the Act came into law, only a handful were denied. And what was denied? Why, none other than a warrant to search the laptop of one Zacarias Moussaoui. You remember him, right? He was the guy up in Minnesota who wanted to learn how to fly planes, but not how to land them:
Access Denied
According to a table compiled from DOJ statistics at the EPIC website, the FISA Court did not reject a single warrant application from its beginning in 1979 through 2002. In 2003 it rejected four applications. In 2004, the number was again zero.
FISA Warrarts from 1979 to 2004
These EPIC tables omit the denial of the warrant in the Moussaoui case, which occurred in early September 2001. That's a bit odd, to say the least.
Do I believe Bush personally allowed 9/11 to happen? No. He's too stupid to be trusted with information of that sort. But the available evidence strongly suggests that certain people pulling his strings did have that knowledge. From 9/11 to the anthrax attacks against prominent Democrats through the death of Paul Wellstone and the string of voting irregularities in the last few elections, there is a stench in the American political landscape that grows stronger by the day. The French have a word for it: coup d'etat. Americans, the most entertained citizens on earth, are blissfully unaware that this silent coup has even taken place.
