The left desperately needs a second dip recession to keep their tenuous hold on a corner of power. The fictitious accusations of corruption by the Bush administration drive the tawdry propaganda campaign that is all they have left. It, too, will fail, as it requires the assumptions that a) all of the public is as stupid as the ones who voted for Gore; and b) September 11 and it's aftermath didn't wise anyone up about the American left.

A number of people here are certainly not wised up-but they were hopeless to begin with...

DOES THE NINTH CIRCUIT SPEAK FOR AMERICA?
OR ONLY FOR THE NWO GODLESS AGENDA?
etherzone.com
By: Dorothy Anne Seese

In 1954 the words "under God" were inserted in our Pledge of Allegiance, and on June 26, 2002, just 48 years later, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance "is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion and cannot be recited in schools" according to an Associated Press report filed by AP writer David Kravets.

On February 8, 2002, this writer authored an article entitled "Federal Judges are Anti-Christian" and the Ninth Circuit (the most liberal of all the federal circuit courts of appeal) has just moved to make that analysis even more accurate. The Ninth Circuit has not ruled, to my knowledge, that the teaching of Islam in California public schools is unconstitutional under the same establishment clause which is, of course, the First Amendment to the Constitution, or Article I of the Bill of Rights.

It is aimed squarely at Christians and Jews.

In 1892, in Holy Trinity Church v. United States, 143 U.S. 457, the United States Supreme Court then sitting, ruled that the United States is a Christian nation and cited its reasons for rendering that opinion. Since 1942, every Supreme Court and lower federal court has gone one step further toward pushing God, the Bible, the Name of Jesus Christ, the Ten Commandments (which are just as Jewish as they are Christian), the name "Christmas" and anything to do with the Judeo-Christian ethic or America's Christian heritage out of existence.

I will repeat what I said in February: Federal judges and justices are anti-Christian!

Due to our fires in Arizona, President George W. Bush visited our fire-stricken areas and spoke to people displaced by the raging wildfires. He stated that he believed in God. Is he now subject to sanctions by federal judges? Who will offend the president?

Yet our federal judiciary and many state court judges have no fear of offending Almighty God!

Why is our nation being flushed down the commode? Because it is the God-fearing people who founded and built this nation, who fought and died for it, who have been a thorn in the side of the atheistic globalists (Marxists by agenda) and who have held back the judgments of God from washing this hedonistic, materialistic, atheistic, lustful, crooked nation into oblivion. But be sure His wrath is stored up for the day of Judgment, and it will come!

I do not care what your religion is or whether you have any. The First Amendment is worded this way: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...." It is only the warped, twisted, contorted opinions of the courts and the justices and judges whose opinions distort the original meaning of our foundational documents and present contrived opinions to fit the Global Governance agenda that make our Bill of Rights say the opposite of what it was written to say.

Strict construction would deny no mention of God, for even atheists have a "god" (supreme being) and that is self. All are entitled to the free exercise of religion, or no religion, to live in unity and diversity of religion. Obviously, "unity" and "diversity" mean something quite different than the strict construction of those terms also.

It is time for Christians and observant Jews to say, "We will follow God's orders, not that of a godless Court of Appeals or a God-denying Supreme Court." It is time for Christians to cast aside all fear of using the Name of Jesus publicly. It is time to pray, because this nation is going to need a whole lot of prayer for its sins against nature, the natural creation, the marriage relationship, the parent-child relationship, and even the tenets of liberals churches and synagogues that are as bad or worse than the Ninth Circuit.

Taking the Name of God in vain is not limited to cursing. Perhaps the worst taking in vain is the profession to believe in God, in Jesus Christ, and then publicly denying Him by our conduct and our submission to the godless. We are instructed in Acts to "obey God rather than man" and this we must do or face the wrath of God along with the nations when that day comes and He judges the earth.

Godlessness has overtaken America, and we are paying a steep price for it.

I am a Christian. No, I don't look all that "religious" because I don't belong to the First Church of Religiosity ... I belong to Jesus Christ, purchased with His own blood and I am not ashamed of it. I know a few folks who have a great deal of religiosity and churchianity, and they are no example of a loving relationship between child and Father. God help them too.

I know folks who will absolutely abhor this article ... don't tell me about it, I just said you have a right to believe what you wish as long as the courts don't make me adhere to your choices.

Our Christian America was a vibrant, prosperous nation. Our sinking ship, our America, is filled with abominations to God and to God-fearing people. And it never was a "Christian" nation from the standpoint of being a theocracy or being a nation of all believers ... it did adhere to standards long forgotten and growing worse day by day.

Oh .. by the way ... I checked my copy of the Declaration of Independence and it, too, is unconstitutional by Ninth Circuit standards, so perhaps it will be the next document that cannot be taught in schools. It seems our judiciary is using the Constitution to declare our nation "unconstitutional" by their standards, whatever they are and if they can honestly be called standards of anything but debauchery.

There is a song "Onward Christian Soldiers" but the army of the Lord seems to be hiding in the bunkers. Come out. Put on the whole armor of God. Be prepared for battle because there's going to be a big one. These are the "perilous times" spoken of in the Bible.

We may be a rag-tag army of the Lord, but one man and God make a majority any time, any place. Be ready for marching orders

The Tyco obscenity escalates. Until real CEOs serve real hard time with convicted rapists and child molesters, these types of white-collar crimes will go on and on and on and on. You're correct. Bush does not want the CEO criminals caught and jailed. He's drunk bourbon and given nicknames to too many of these shifty CEOs to be the moral leader of this crusade.

Headline: Former Tyco Chief Faces New Charge

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 3:02 p.m. ET 6/26

NEW YORK (AP) -- The former chief of Tyco International Ltd., charged earlier this month with evading sales taxes on pricey art, pleaded innocent Wednesday to a new indictment charging him with tampering with evidence.

``I plead not guilty,'' Dennis Kozlowski, 55, said as he was arraigned in Manhattan's State Supreme Court. Justice Michael Obus allowed him to remain free on $3 million bond and set his next court appearance for Aug. 14.

Wednesday's 14-count superseding indictment says Kozlowski removed a bill of lading from a document file at his office in Boca Raton, Fla., after the file was requested by the Manhattan district attorney's office.

That bill of lading, dated Jan. 2, 2002, falsely showed that five paintings by Monet, Renoir and others, for which Kozlowski paid some $13 million, were shipped from New York to New Hampshire, prosecutors say.

An earlier indictment, filed against Kozlowski on June 4, alleged that he actually shipped five empty crates to New Hampshire to avoid paying more than $1 million in New York sales taxes.

That indictment also alleges that Kozlowski worked with art gallery executives and employees in New York and London from Aug. 11, 2001, through June 3, 2002, to carry out his tax evasion schemes.

Stephen E. Kaufman, the business tycoon's lawyer, said outside court that he would ask Obus on Aug. 14 to dismiss the charges. ``Mr. Kozlowski has pleaded not guilty, and we believe the charges are unsubstantiated,'' he said.

Kozlowski quit as Tyco's chairman and chief executive officer the day before the June 4 indictment was filed charging him with falsifying business records, conspiracy, tampering with evidence, and state sales tax evasion.

Tampering with physical evidence and the other felonies with which Kozlowski is charged are punishable by up to four years in prison.

``I'm spending my time with family and friends,'' Kozlowski said as he left court. ``I'm not guilty of this, but I have no other comment.''

Tyco, nominally headquartered in Bermuda, is actually run from its New Hampshire offices. In the 1990s, Kozlowski's acquisitions turned Tyco into a corporate behemoth whose products range from coat hangers to undersea fiberoptic cable.

Critics charge that Tyco used accounting tricks when it bought companies to make its profits appear to grow faster than they actually did.

In afternoon trading on Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange, Tyco shares were down 14 percent, or $1.90 a share, at $11.65.

Well, if you can believe things with no evidence to support your belief, discussion is pointless.

Media control is the key.

Airplay the good stories.
Kill the bad stories.

If all else fails, distract with dirty bombs or "God" related court decisions, and make sure to raise enough dust about useless topics to get people to forget to research where their money goes, or other unanswered questions.

We will agree to disagree. I believe Bush is working behind the scenes to do everything he can to protect his friend "Kenny Boy" Lay and stall all prosecution until the public loses interest in the topic.

You have proof for this libelous assertion???
