the Iraq invasion, the Wilson affair?
Let's see now, here they are in order:
1. Enron. For months, not a word from the DOJ/Ashcroft about Enron, or the prosecution of former Enron CEO, Ken Lay. A few prosecutions down in Texas, where the perps, with a couple of exceptions, are paying fines of 10 cents on the dollar, and walking. There's a few pending cases, but Lay continues to live like a king, obviously protected by his friends, Bush and Ashcroft. It's called, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE! The media has abandoned this story entirely.
2. The Cheney Energy Panel papers. Thus far, Cheney has lost several motions, but then immediately appeals to higher, and more "administration friendly" courts. Looks like they'll be able to tie this up until after the 04' elections. Where's the outrage, that Cheney is hiding this information from the American people, who are his employers? It's called, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE! Again, the press has abandoned this one entirely.
3. 9/11. 9/11 Commission chairman, Thomas Kean, made some noises last week, because the administration has been stonewalling, and refuses to hand over requested information. It's called OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, which is a crime! Bush states he will cooperate. The story goes down to a simmer, and then this week disappears entirely from the media. Why aren't the survivors and the families of those killed on 9/11 not marching on the White House demanding the evidence? Why is the media choosing to bury this story, ...again?
4. Iraq. Yesterday, Senate committee Chairman Sen. Roberts (R-Kansas), states that the White House said it will hand over papers they have requested. Roberts states things are OK now, despite a month of stalling, and the fact that no papers have yet been handed over to the committee. Committee co-chairmen, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W. VA), was not told of Roberts' communications with the White House, and has been kept in the dark. Roberts basically says, "nothing to see here, move along". Again, this regime engages in OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, and is allowed to get away with it through the duplicity of a passive and servile Congress! And the media, forgetaboutit! The story is now relegated to the back pages, if it appears at all.
5. The Wilson Affair. A hot story a few weeks ago, now buried. With the investigation handed off to what is the "black hole" of Ashcroft's DOJ, and the administration refusing to cooperate, it has become a non-story. Despite the fact someone at the highest levels of the White House did indeed violate the law, Bush is ignoring it, and the media lap-dogs back off entirely. It's called, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE! Apparently, this administration is allowed to endanger government employees, violate federal law, and compromise our national security, all with impunity. Who gives them this impunity? We can thank the media, and Congress,....again.
4. Halliburton and Bechtel. There were a few cries from Congress, and a few articles, about the crooked no-bid deals between these companies and the administration. Can you imagine if this same thing happened while Clinton was in office? Investigations and impeachment proceedings would have begun the very next day! Again, the Congress is enabling this regime to commit, "OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, by not investigating, and the media falls right in line.
The bottom line to this, is that all of these cases are excellent examples of the conspiracy by and between this administration, Congress (and this includes a number of Democrats), and the media, to defraud the American people, and commit OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. The fact this administration is allowed to get away with these, and numerous other crimes, is proof that our democratic republic no longer exists.
We are indeed, now living under an Orwellian fascist oligarchy, where those who try to expose the truth are hounded, falsely dis-credited, beaten, and even murdered. The administration counters with "good news" offensives, that are as transparent as they are disgusting, and the "sheeple" lap it up.
Until we see justice being meted out in these matters, we can be confident, ....the United States of America, as we knew it, no longer exists.
