Eight years later, and it all played out exactly as BushCo planned.
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 09:58 AM by Atman
While I'm celebrating this historic day (but not prematurely!) with the rest of you, I'm also reminded that nothing that is happening in the world today was truly unforeseen or accidental. Everything that we are hearing about today, from the economic collapse to the amazing shifting demographics in America, were well documented and discussed back in the waning years of the Clinton presidency.

I don't know the name of the book, but I will attempt to find it; I first heard it discussed on NPR, back before the Bush administration stacked the Board of Directors and turned it into yet another GOP mouthpiece. The discussion was about the shift in demographics in America to a predominantly Hispanic nation. There was no stopping it, the story went. Between our employment policies, our immigration policies, and our simple physical attachment to the Mexican/Central American land mass, combined with birth rates, the Hispanic population in America will outnumber the non-Hispanic population by about 2025. Leading up to that, the growth in non-white demographics would make it impossible for the GOP to hold on to power.

They knew this back in the nineties, and I would guess well before that. That is the reason the last twelve years unfolded as they did. By design. The pathologically-wealthy Bush and Cheney families had a New World Order on their minds, and The Families were very methodical in setting up a structure which would enable them to pull off one last final coup for the Rich White Guys, draining the treasury and writing laws which would fuck virtually everyone who didn't have at least a couple of houses and offshore bank accounts.

They've got contracts to rebuild Iraq, rebuild our spent weapons, build new weapons, man the new bases and super-embassy, run the new phone systems, everything. They're set forever, and the country will not be able to spend a penny on those god-damned brown people. There is little wonder in why George Bush refused to even consider repealing any of his tax breaks; doing so would fund the very programs he and the neocons were trying to destroy. Besides, they were well aware of the coming of the economic crisis we're now facing. Shit, they were counting on it. They tried Social Security in the stock market first, remember? It was all by design to drain the government, pillage and burn it all before the heathens and dark skinned people and the atheists and the godless liberals took over.

We won!

Uh...yay?

1. They didn't count on a Populist leader like Obama getting elected.

2. I agree....except I'm pretty certain that BushInc expected HRC to take over from them and provide
the cover they needed through the next decade as Bill did for them in the 90s.

Now, I want the entire cabal exposed and their crimes revealed for ALL to see and understand the depth of their fascist intentions.

3. my worst fear is that it is not over - that the loss to the Dems
is also planned.

Who has to sort out two wars?
Who has to fix an economic crisis that started over a year ago?
Who has to raise taxes in order to "fix" Social Security and Medicare?
Who will face an immigration problem of huge proportion?
Who has to fix the broken borders?

With taxes on the rise and military being brought home in defeat - who will step in and continue their rape and pillage.

I can see KKKarl having this all architected for years to come.

I am not convinced a win is a win in this particular case.

4. See: Wall Street Bailout and Drowning Govt in a Bathtub.
Bush continues his cancerous reign in his last days by working to further restrict consumer driven, product liability lawsuits.
