To: Les H who wrote (19625 ) 6/5/2005 12:17:07 PM From: mthomas Respond to of 110194 >Bush Pretzel .... Perhaps a good name for a premium beer? I heard the same concept about keeping Bush medicated and this is perhaps why he cannot recollect the PDBriefs. Do you know that Adolfone is the original name of Methadone? The German scientists had to keep Adolph from his manic moods, so a coal-tar derivative was developed which later became used as a substitute for heroin in the VA rehab programs, and now is marketed as Methadone. Interesting parallels. I suspect the photos of the contraption Bush wears on his back in his pickup truck while by himself on his ranch (a Yankee that buys a ranch in Texas to hide out is pretty indicative of the need for privacy) may monitor many functions of his body, as well as his location, and the proximity of the nearest source of ethanol or any contacts who might supply him with undesirable materials from a presidential perspective. The one thing I have to say about Bush Jr. is that he had the balls to break the mold and say "screw the family I will do it my way" and that is the true grit of an alcoholic that is at least better than his old man, who wrote his own ticket during the second Reagan admin~ since Reagan *obviously* was suffering dementia during his re-election campaign. THIS was the beginning of the IRAN // CONTRA affair which TERMINALLY CORRUPTED the U.S. Congress. Then Bush Sr. had 4 more years to consolidate power within the spook circles to ensure the spooks could control the levers of government, the people be damned. The fact that Poindexter fell on his sword to cover for the rest of the gang that could not speak straight, simply means Poindexter does not have the goods on the right people. Which brings us to another point: during Ollie North's campaign to bring in cash galore with monthly targets going to hundreds of millions (using C-130 cargo planes makes it simple), it appears the entire US Senate and House were channelled cash which pretty much makes any vote against the ex-Chief of the Secret Police, his son, or anyone designated as "protected", will result in the exposure of campaign funds stemming from unsavory sources (Iran // Contra may have supplied the cash, but that does not mean it was channeled to the Senator or Representative via North). Ariel Sharon went to the Temple Mount with his goose steppers just prior to the Y2K US Presidential elections, and ten days later the USS Cole was bombed. Appears more of a declaration of war by those actions than anything else. This began the "fear and intimidation" campaign typical of the Fascist and "rule by fear" policies often employed by the Republicans. Both parties use tactics, but they differ in their methods. Then came the daylight, lunch-time machine-gunning of the Palestinian TV magnate. Put two and two together, and one begins to see clearly that the old game of obtaining blackmail over governmental figures continues to be the method of choice for obtaining votes for one's cause. It certainly is more reliable than compassion and honesty, or electorate pressures. Look at the EU Constitution, where the electorate rejects while the elitist govt parasites approve. Now tell me, what does that suggest? An informed, mature electorate that knows their representatives are aught more than parasites seeking a new method of sucking their blood. Read their government's bloodied lips: POWER. Regards, Martin Thomas
