Bush Abolishes Fifth Amendment

21 07 2007

George W. Bush who has already declared himself a dictator in the case of a national emergency has now issued an executive order that effectively destroys the Fifth Amendment.

How do you sue in federal court when you are being held in an undisclosed prison with with no rights and w/o being charged with anything?

Everybody says “oh don’t worry, they will never actually use this.” i don’t know about you but
a. i feel much more comfortable with my government NOT having the right to do this, whether i think they will or not
b. do you really trust this administration, and all administrations going forward to not take advantage of this provision?

Ex-Reagan Republican: Impeach Bush and Cheney IMMEDIATELY. By P C ROBERTS

21 07 2007

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS–Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran.

Bush has put in place all the necessary measures for dictatorship in the form of “executive orders” that are triggered whenever Bush declares a national emergency. Recent statements by Homelan

Ask yourself: Would a government that has lied us into two wars and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging “terrorist” attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda?

Only a diehard minority believes in the honesty and integrity of the Bush-Cheney administration and in the truthfulness of the corporate media.

Hitler, who never achieved majority support in a German election, used the Reichstag fire to fan hysteria and push through the Enabling Act, which made him dictator. Determined tyrants never require majority support in order to overthrow constitutional orders.

The American constitutional system is near to being overthrown. Are coming “terrorist” events of which Chertoff warns and Santorum promises the means for overthrowing our constitutional democracy?

Google Stock Slammed In After-Hours Trading

20 07 2007

A great article from Nathan Weinberg at Blog News Channel…check it out:

Google stock has plummeted on what the market is calling a bad earnings report, falling over $46 in after-hours trading. GOOG fell from a closing price of $548.59 to around $502.47, an 8% drop that wiped out $13 billion in shareholder value.

Reuters called the earnings report “disappointing”.

Jeffrey Lindsay, analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, says Google is blowing it on expenses, spending too damn much money. “These guys have been spending like drunken sailors.”

Google CEO Eric Schmidt, displaying an incredible amount of arrogance or insularity (pick one), acted in a statement like Google didn’t slip at all. While yes, the market is over-reacting, it is still reacting to a down quarter, and to not notice that it was a down quarter is just stupid.
