Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed while giving a speech in Washington tonight and was taken to a hospital. Mukasey, 67, began slurring his words, slumped at the lectern and fell to the floor as he neared the end of a speech to the Federalist Society. Several people gathered around him to offer aid and emergency workers arrived. He was taken to George Washington University Hospital, where Justice Department officials awaited word on his condition. Members of the audience at his speech, including former Attorney General John Ashcroft, formed a human wall so people could not view Mukasey as he was taken away. A member of the audience offered a prayer for Mukasey from the lectern and told everyone to go home. Mukasey, a retired federal judge from New York, became attorney general in November 2007, replacing Alberto Gonzales, who resigned after a congressional investigation into allegations he politicized the department. Mukasey is President George W. Bush's third attorney general, following Ashcroft and Gonzales. In his speech, the attorney general defended the Bush administration's anti-terrorism strategy against what he termed ``relentless criticism.'' During his Senate confirmation hearings, Mukasey drew praise from lawmakers from both political parties when he pledged to keep politics out of criminal prosecution and vowed to resign if Bush were to ignore his advice that an important initiative would be unconstitutional. Statements on Torture Mukasey was confirmed on a 53-40 Senate vote after his statements on torture and interrogation of suspected terrorists touched off a partisan fight. Mukasey refused to say whether waterboarding, an interrogation technique that simulates drowning, was illegal torture. ``If waterboarding is torture, torture is unconstitutional,'' he said at the confirmation hearing. In a written response to a letter by senators seeking a fuller explanation, Mukasey refused to give a legal opinion based on ``hypotheticals'' instead of ``the actual facts and circumstances.'' Last September, Mukasey named a special prosecutor to investigate possible crimes arising from the Bush administration's firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006. The firings led to Gonzales's resignation.

Refused to say if he thought it was torture and instead said: --> ``If waterboarding is torture, torture is unconstitutional,'' he said at the confirmation hearing. Now there's some typical lawyer newspeak for you.

"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory" Dies ist gut Ergo, if waterboarding is not torture, then torture is NOT unconstitutional. That help? I think what's tortured here is his defense of waterboarding.
He threw a stroke. Exactly my thought. The symptoms are classic. I think "Waterboard Therapy" is indicated.

incogman.wordpress.com/20...ionist-jew-to-be-top-cop/ If you’re not outraged, then you haven’t been any paying attention. Our Senate Judiciary committee just voted in the Zionist, Orthodox Jew Michael Mukasey as our Attorney General, thanks to the Jew Senators Dianne Feinstein and Charles Schumer stepping in to make the numbers work. He’s virtually a shoe-in now for full confirmation. What a joke. The Jews certainly have a lot of ”chutzpah” these days. People are noticing, however. Oh, sure, you had some other Jews like Senator Arlen Spectre making some half- assed comments to appear concerned about waterboarding and all. Nothing but smoke and mirrors. In fact, the whole torture deal means little to these people. The only people really worried about that are the back-room guys that have to do it and would’ve only been a real problem for someone they didn’t want as AG. The Senators wanted Mukasey in to begin with, to go right along with another Zionist Jew, Michael Chertoff in Homeland Security. What this means is Mr. Michael Mukasey now runs our entire Justice system. He can instigate investigations and terminate others. He’s been right in the middle of the 9/11 cover-up from the start. He can team up with his personal buddy, Michael Chertoff, who as a lawyer, once represented Magdy Elamir –a man suspected of financial involvement in 9/11 and caught red-handed in an illegal weapons/terrorist investigation and walked, thanks to Chertoff. Mukasey also oversaw Larry Silverstein’s insurance case over the WTC claims, eventually getting him 4.55 billion and, maybe more importantly, he handled cases involving 9/11 material witnesses like the 5 Dancing Israelis who were let free to return to Israel (no one said anything at all about that one in TV land). Talk about Foxes guarding the Hen house! Yep, these folks know, well and good, that the American public is starting to wake up to all the lies about 9/11 and all the rest of the BS these Jewish Supremacists have going on, today. People are talking all over the Internet and that’s got ‘em a mite concerned. Pay close attention to upcoming efforts at shutting down sites, like this one, and chat rooms all over (they’ve just passed HR 1955). You won’t be able to say one word about any Homos or Blacks, but the real goal in all of this: protection of any Zionist activities. Just look north to what the Jews did to Canadian free speech, for crying out loud. Also, the Feds have plans that can give them full control over all local police departments. They’ve even had dry-runs for this, using “nation-wide fugitive” round-ups to test these plans. And Mr. Bush (or President Hillary) can now, with a snap of his or her’s fingers, declare an emergency and eliminate the right of Habeas Corpus, for up to 6 months before it can even be put to the floor by Congress. So basically, if they want to, they can make an announcement and then come knocking on people’s doors and throw them into the slammer with no questions asked! You knew these things were coming: Free Speech gone, Guns being taken away, The Police State, the New World Order. Every time you turn around there’s one more little step taken, one more right of Americans quietly removed. Remember all the talk, back in the day, about President Nixon and the FBI? How our government was really so bad and evil? Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet! In the future, you’ll look back on those days with bitter irony. We’re getting close to the edge of a true Police State, folks. A true Jewish Supremacist Noahide takeover of the entire United States! That’s exactly right people, they want to make real changes to the laws of this country, all based on what they call the 7 Noahide laws of Judaism. They want to shut up any and all questioning about what they’re up to in all of this. And they’re doing it today in the good old US of A. How much more will it take for you to pay attention? 9/11 wasn’t enough? When will you finally wake up before it’s too late? People, we’ve got major-league Zionist gambits abrewing. Whether you like it or not. By Phillip Marlowe

I wonder if his stroke was natural or induced. Has he been disobeying his handler lately?

"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
