PEGGY NOONAN A Separate Peace America is in trouble--and our elites are merely resigned. Thursday, October 27, 2005 12:01 a.m. EDT It is not so hard and can be a pleasure to tell people what you see. It's harder to speak of what you think you see, what you think is going on and can't prove or defend with data or numbers. That can get tricky. It involves hunches. But here goes. I think there is an unspoken subtext in our national political culture right now. In fact I think it's a subtext to our society. I think that a lot of people are carrying around in their heads, unarticulated and even in some cases unnoticed, a sense that the wheels are coming off the trolley and the trolley off ...

The Pied Pipers of Neoconservatism The New American By John F. McManus August 13, 2001 With William F. Buckley and Irving Kristol to the fore, neoconservatives are piping a tune that is leading America down the path of internationalism and socialism. This article has been adapted from an address given by Mr. McManus to a meeting of the Robert Welch Club on June 30, 2001, in Appleton, Wisconsin. William F. Buckley's neoconservative siren song has led many conservatives down a dangerous path away from the Constitution. One of the major moves against freedom in recent years has been the gathering of nations into economic unions. The first of these for the United States was NAFTA, the ...

The White House Criminal Conspiracy The Nation By Elizabeth de la Vega November 14, 2005 issue Legally, there are no significant differences between the investor fraud perpetrated by Enron CEO Ken Lay and the prewar intelligence fraud perpetrated by George W. Bush. Both involved persons in authority who used half-truths and recklessly false statements to manipulate people who trusted them. There is, however, a practical difference: The presidential fraud is wider in scope and far graver in its consequences than the Enron fraud. Yet thus far the public seems paralyzed. In response to the outcry raised by Enron and other scandals, Congress passed the Corporate Corruption Bill, which ...

Why is it that people don’t know that the United Nations agenda is being implemented in this country, when it is so obvious to anybody who bothers to look? Perhaps they are waiting for Wolf Blitzer or Bill O’Reilly to make the announcement, “You are no longer a citizen of the United States. We are totally erasing the concept of citizenship and nations. You are a consumer and a human resource of the United Nations. We are going to tell you where to live, what you can do for a living and when you must die because you are no longer producing value greater than the resources you are consuming”.

Libby case seen as sign of a federal ethics crisis Houston Chronicle Washington Post October 30, 2005 WASHINGTON - A majority of Americans say the indictment of senior White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby signals broader ethical problems in the Bush administration, and nearly half say the overall level of honesty and ethics in the federal government has fallen since President Bush took office, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News survey. The poll, conducted Friday and Saturday, found 55 percent of Americans believe the Libby case indicates wider problems "with ethical wrongdoing" in the White House, while 41 percent believe it was an "isolated ...

Special report: Bush faces his Watergate Sleaze, leaks and an indictment add up to the worst presidential crisis since Nixon. And it will get worse. The White House has lost one key man but the whole chain of command may be engulfed by a scandal slowly revealing the lies that led to war. The Independent By Andrew Buncombe in Washington October 30, 2005 Presidential second terms are prone to scandals, from Bill Clinton's embarrassments over Monica Lewinsky to Ronald Reagan's implication in the Iran-Contra imbroglio. But the troubles now circling George Bush's White House could be even worse than Watergate. It might not appear that way at first. Mr Bush is unlikely to have to join Richard ...

VIDEO It Ain't The Crime. It's the Cover-up Capitol Hill Blue By DOUG THOMPSON Oct 28, 2005 You would think that the motley collection of crooks, thieves, con-men and bozos who masquerade as leaders of our nation would eventually learn the number-one lesson of politics. It ain’t the crime that gets you. It’s the cover-up. With the indictments of Vice Presidential Chief of Staff Scooter Libby today in the Valerie Plame scandal, along with the continuing investigation of Bush advisor Karl Rove, the charges stem not from the sad, sordid fact that Libby, Rove and the Vice President Cheney leaked the name of a covert CIA operative to the press but that they lied about their ...

Democrats intensify criticism of war, seek White House probe Boston Globe By Rick Klein, Globe Staff October 29, 2005 WASHINGTON -- Democrats yesterday used the indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide to intensify their criticism of the Bush administration's push for war in Iraq, with calls for congressional probes and an expanded investigation that would look into White House attempts to manipulate intelligence. Senate minority leader Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, said the case raises questions about ''misconduct at the White House" in the run-up to war that must be answered by President Bush directly.

COMPASSIONATE SOCIALISM: The Ideology Of George W. Bush

"COMPASSIONATE" SOCIALISM: The Ideology of George W. BushThe Intellectual Activist By Andrew Lewis Volume 13, Number 11November 1999BEFORE THE PRIMARY RACE HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN, George W. Bush has been all but anointed as the Republican presidential candidate for 2000. His greatest source of appeal seems to be his reputation as a “moderate” and as a political pragmatist—which, the Republicans have concluded, is more popular than the more ideological “revolutionaries.” But Bush’s reputation as a pragmatist merely serves as useful camouflage for his deeper philosophical premises. His campaign platform of “compassionate conservatism” is more ...

Secret wiretaps. Seized bank records. Unconsented physical searches. Secret computer tracking. Enter the ever-growing government world of domestic spying. A recent Washington Post report (Monday, Oct. 24, 2005; A01) stated, "The FBI has conducted clandestine surveillance on some U.S. residents for as long as 18 months at a time without proper paperwork or oversight, according to previously classified documents to be released today. "Records turned over as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit also indicate that the FBI has investigated hundreds of potential violations related to its use of secret surveillance operations."

Former CIA Agent Phillip Agee On the Wilson Affair, the Iraq Invasion and Why Bush Sr. Calls Him A Traitor Democracy Now Amy Goodman October 2, 2005 Whoever in the White House burned Wilson's wife could be charged under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act which imposes strict penalties on the outting of agents. We speak with former CIA agent Phillip Agee, for whom, many believe, the Act was written. Former acting ambassador to Iraq Joseph Wilson says that the outing of his wife other attempts to discredit him “are clearly intended to intimidate others from coming forward.” But it’s not just intimidation; it’s a felony. Until now, a crime the Bush family has ...

What's Next For Libby? ABC News By Mark Halperin October 28, 2005 Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, has been indicted on charges of obstruction of justice, making false statements and perjury in the CIA leak investigation. What happens next could be quite a spectacle. Following the charges related to the disclosure of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's name, Libby submitted his letter of resignation earlier today and it was accepted, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said. The letter was delivered to Chief of Staff Andy Card, who informed President Bush. Unless Libby gets the charges thrown out or reaches a plea agreement — ...

The other day I distributed my colleague (former IRS Collection Division 10 year veteran Revenue Officer) John Turner's objection to proposed changes to the "6020(b)" regulations. John authored a subsequent commentary on the topic that I thought was equally powerful and very educational. John gave me permission to forward it to you so here it is. John spends a great deal of time educating others with his unique knowledge of the inner workings of the Internal Revenue Service. He has done this important work because of his dedication to the truth and without compensation ever since his resignation from the IRS in 1997.

Congress keeps ducking Niger investigation The Hill By Josh Marshall October 27, 2005 As Patrick Fitzgerald’s criminal probe grinds on, we shouldn’t forget that a congressional inquiry into the Valerie Plame outing and the Niger uranium forgeries has never really started grinding at all. So with that in mind, let’s run down a short to-do list of things that need doing if and when Washington ever decides to get serious about getting to the bottom of this caper. First, how about the investigation Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), chairman of the Senate intel panel, promised a year ago? Chairman Roberts has been the great ally of the White House in covering up the ...
Patriot Act bill would expand death penalty

WASHINGTON – The House bill that would reauthorize the USA Patriot Act anti-terrorism law includes several little-noticed provisions that would dramatically transform the federal death penalty system, allowing smaller juries to decide on executions and giving prosecutors the ability to try again if a jury deadlocks on sentencing. The bill also triples the number of terrorism-related crimes eligible for the death penalty, adding, among others, the material support law that has been the core of the government’s legal strategy against terrorism. The death penalty provisions, which were added to the House bill during a voice vote in July, are emerging as one of the major points of ...
Padilla Takes His Case to Supreme Court

"Dirty bomb" suspect Jose Padilla has asked the Supreme Court to limit the government's power to hold him and other U.S. terror suspects indefinitely and without charges. The case of Padilla, who has been in custody more than three years, presents a major test of the Bush administration's wartime authority. The former gang member is accused of plotting to detonate a radioactive device. Justices refused on a 5-4 vote last year to resolve Padilla's rights, ruling that he contested his detention in the wrong court. Donna Newman of New York, one of Padilla's attorneys, said the new case, which was being processed at the court Thursday, asks when and for how long the government can ...
