POPSBush Family Private Equity Fund In Deep Trouble >> Higher interest rate costs for states and local governments will aggravate local US fiscal crises as the depression spreads, creating a self-reinforcing downward spiral. The process is in its early stages yet. <<

POPSEurope Must Be Realistic About Life After Bush There is one factor that has not changed in US foreign policy: democracy promotion. Combined with post-9/11 priorities, such neo-Wilsonian militancy will tend to divide rather than unite the Atlantic partners. ----- At this early stage, such a crisis is not inevitable. A mature and stable transatlantic partnership is possible – but not on the basis of unreasonable hopes of a second honeymoon.

POPSPolice Atrocities Define The Bush Police State
"If you've ever publicly opposed Bush's war of naked aggression in Iraq, you can bet you're in NSA's database, called TALON. War protesters, naturally, were the first to wind up in Big Bro's TALON, or database. This practice most certainly goes far beyond Nixon's 'enemies list'. Bush's database, methods, scope and ruthlessness plops us in Orwellian territory." Well, it's too late now. I'm probably already screwed and plopped and TALON'ed and monitored... END THE OCCUPATIONS! ------------------------- talon: \ˈta-lən\ Middle English taloun heel, hind claw of a bird of prey , from Anglo-French talun, from Vulgar Latin *talon-, *talo, from Latin talus ankle, anklebone 1 a: the claw of an animal and especially of a bird of prey b: a finger or hand of a human being 2: a part or object shaped like or suggestive of a heel or claw: b: the shoulder of the bolt of a lock on which the key acts to shoot the bolt 3 a: cards laid aside in a pile in solitaire

POPSAnother War Is Inevitable "What we have is, the administration has already made up its mind about what it wants to do with Iran. The Bush administration's policy has been made. It's wanton disregard for everything we stand for as a nation." - Scott Ritter

POPS"Spin" by Brian Springer It was on - and then off - the Internet. Now it's back! Watch it while you can. Here's the deal... It's a film made about the 1992 presidential election and it explains just about everything that is going on now, 16 years later. The film shows: * viable candidates being eliminated by the news media * politicians being fed slick answers by spin doctors * hopelessly corrupt news reporters lying through their cosmetically perfect teeth The stars of the movie are Bush and Clinton. No, not junior and Hilary. The other Bush and Clinton show. Bill and Sr. Amazing film. If it fails to completely blow your mind I will be very surprised.

POPSLeave President Bush Alone! I love these "Leave so-and-so alone!" videos. This one's really funny. :lol: Here's the original video with the infamous Chris Crocker.

POPSVermont Group Wants Cheney, Bush Charged With War Crimes But it's unclear whether the group can get the one thousand signatures necessary to get the measure on the Town Meeting Day agenda. State Attorney General William Sorrell says that even if passed, the measure would be of dubious legal value. Good story, though! :)

POPSBush Handed Blueprint To Seize Pakistan's Nukes "I have been arguing the opposite. We cannot invade, only work with the consent of elements of the Pakistan military," he said. "But we do have to calculate how to quantify and then respond to a crisis that is potentially as much a threat as Soviet tanks once were. Pakistan may be the next big test."

POPSFrom The Horse's Mouth "You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on." -- George W. Bush Yes, but you can't fool all of the people all of the...what I mean to say is... fool me... you can't get fooled again!

POPSIt's Treason If their treason continues, then decent and thinking citizens everywhere -- concerned patriots all -- can only weep for their country What do you reckon folks? Any grand heroes out there in the wings waiting to ride in and save the good ol' US of A from self-destructing? A Democrat? Republican? Elections? Captain America? Superman? Batman? Naaa, Gotham City is doomed . Prepared for life under the eternal rule of Lex Luther and Co. They say you get the government you deserve. Maybe that's true! The politicians, the media and even the people have betrayed the USA and everything She supposedly stood for, by allowing it to happen. Such a shame. The USA had such a bright future once. What a shame to peak so young and throw it all away. A real shame.

POPSBush On Torture Bush said he wouldn't discuss the techniques of torture because he doesn't want the enemy to adjust... Adjust?? How exactly do you adjust to waterboarding? To being hung in chains from the ceiling for hours and days on end? How do you adjust to sleep deprivation? Or sensory deprivation? Or being beaten with cables? Or hypothermia? Or murder? How exactly do you adjust Mr Bush? You are so FULL OF IT. As for the use of secret prisons, (which are against ALL common decency, not to mention International Law) Bush replies: "Yeah, so what?" Yeah, perhaps you're right Bush. By accepting torture and secret prisons, USA has sunken to such depths of moral depravity and stench, that the only way is up anyway... so who cares? Can't you come up with some other horrors and atrocities? Waterboarding is getting a little old, don't you think? How about some pulling of fingernails or hot irons? Or being eaten alive by ants! Be creative, Sir! Hmm... do they have ants in Afghanistan? :roll:

POPSHeat Or Eat? So the choice for many poor will be between sick children, starving or freezing to death?? Oh well, no worries. America will take it all in it's stride. The poor can always just wrap themselves in the flag to keep warm. Or they can join the military! They say it's really hot over there in the desert. In any case, not to worry. If America is going down, at least it will be doing it in a blaze of *glory*. Now, where were we? Oh yeah ... "Support the troops". Yay. :(

POPSMany in US Military: Bush & Cheney Out of Control CENTCOM Admiral William Fallon reportedly thwarted Cheney's wish to sent a third additional aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf. One paper wrote that he "vowed privately there would be no war against Iran as long as he was chief of CENTCOM." The whole article is worth a read.

POPSPope Feared Bush Is The Anti-Christ The Pope, who grew up facing the evils of Hitler and Stalin, knows evil when he sees it. An old article from 2003, but very thought-provoking! Now, I'm no Catholic, but if Pope John Paul ll (rest in peace) had such concerns about the "goodness" of Mr George W. Bush, then I sit up and listen. Are there any Catholics out there who know what the Church's or the current Pope's stand on this issue is now?

POPSBush Vs. Zombies *LOL* Funny! Now, if the MSM just play this video over and over and over again, I'm sure it would only be a short matter of time before the sheeple of America believe it, like they have with so many stupidities emanating from the White House, like "Saddam has WMD's, "Get them there, before they get us here", "The world is a safer place now" , "If we leave Iraq, the terrorists will just follow us home." (What are they?? Lassie?!? *LOL*).... etc, etc, etc.

POPSNorth American Union? WHAT is going on?? CNN's "Lou Dobbs" Reports: President Bush Signed Formal Agreement to End United States as we know it! I'm not sure what to make of this, so I am clipping it and would love to hear everyone's take on this. Go to the source and read the whole thing and then Google "Amero". As for the dollar collapsing, read this: Is China Quietly Dumping US Treasuries?

POPSCan The War Machine Be Contained? Somehow we must push the debate away from whether or not the Iraqis are pulling up their socks to whether we really want to live in the grip of endless war. Historically, we’ve never really embraced world peace as a desirable option. Imagine the possibilities if we actually tried.

POPSNORTHCOM Plans 5 Day Martial Law Exercise There is no question that Vigilant Shield 08 is either government preparation for the implementation of martial law or a way for criminal elements within the government to distract emergency responders in order to conduct a false flag terror attack as a pretext to actually implement martial law and engage in foreign war. Hmm... I don't like the sound of this, but as my S.O. always says: "Hope for the best, but expect the worst".
