The links are requested, but I like to remind people about them from time to time, anyhooo.
This is kinda like a Big Day WOW! thing for me. This report is always eagerly anticipated, like my own private HUGE box of Godiva (Prefer Leonida's) to eat and NOT get sick.
THIS, THIS is the latest report, but no great surprises here. Not REALLY. It's about time for Dick Cheney to "get his" .... that's just one thing. The anger toward the Bushistas? Totally deserved and my take on Scott McClellan is right on target. This is awful stuff he is saying and perhaps we can use it to push these WAR MONGERS behind bars where they BELONG, so richly.
Oh, and remember what I say about the idiocy of the financial house managers - THEY CANNOT REORGANIZE THEMSELVES. They cannot see that IF they would stop and think about the sustainable future that we want to build, there would be plenty of work!! PLENTY!! But they cannot think outside the "box" they've built for themselves with THEIR media (consumerist, warmongering), their value set (get more! Kill anyone in our way!), and their inability to use hearts, hands, hopes and health together at one time. Sad comment, but TRUE. Remember this .. I worked at the Wall Street law firms, at many many major banks, in the City of London, at the United Nations .. I KNOW how warped the values reallly are.
If you are new, and don't know about the linguistic runs, head over to halfpasthuman. FIND OUT. You will be glad you did - and tell George I sent you. You'll WANT to fork over that 40 bucks, you really will. It's about the best deal I know of.Oh, and remember what I say about the idiocy of the financial house managers - THEY CANNOT REORGANIZE THEMSELVES.

Tickers & Time Tinkers
Things are at a serious enough point where the time monks at www.halfpasthuman.com have given me the green light to roll out a little more of the predictive linguistics so you can brace for what's ahead for the population of the USA in the next couple of months. If you repost any of this, a link to both this page and www.halfpasthuman.com is required. So fasten your seat belt, here's a kind of sneak peek under the covers as to where we are, where we're going, and 'what comes next.'
Let's start with the report Monday that vice president Cheney has been been undergoing heart treatments for an irregular rhythm.
This is something we've been expecting since it popped up in the predictive linguistics almost 6-months ago. From ALTA 0108 (Part Zero, May 2007), we seemed to get a sense that the health issues would begin around the time of some new disclosures about what it's like inside the Bush White House. Best we can figure, the coming 'tell all' book by Scott McClellan which was unveiled a couple of days back is just about a perfect temporal marker. Here's how it looked when reported as a linguistic probability mid May of this year:
"As the modelspace is progressed into December and the [results linger/limp_along] from the [power outage], the TPTB entity is showing that the [exposure (of the) hungry mouth/teeth] will [precipitate] a [wave/residual flow] of [bad luck/happenstance]. The data sets are under the influence of the [conflict] meta data layer, and are supported with [beasts] and [blood], as well as [crippled/lame] and [damaged tendons pulling]. This sub set has the supporting aspect/attributes with close links to the Press entity which point toward a [visibility] of the [warfare/strike] with TPTB causing an image of [rapacious/lust], and [hunger (for) all (things?/resources)] to emergence within the global mediastream. This is *not* good for TPTB entity and there will be a swift [reaction] and an [attempted purge] of some [offending voices/faces].
"There are several detail layers within the aspect/attributes which help to describe the situation immediately following the [exposure] of the [conflict]. These are pointing to a [bed-ridden/sick/ill] [government] with specific references to vice Dick Cheney. There are other sets going to [loss (of ability) to reunite], with special emphasis on the [fractured/split] being [permanent], and [without (possibility) of repair]. This area shows that the [broken alliances] will [leave stranded] (many) in [desolated plains/places]."
Plain as mud? At the archetype level, t the visibility of warfare/strife within the TPTB entity is well met by the McClellan book, and along about now, we have the vice president's health issues, and with the opening of the Middle East peace conference in Annapolis today, linguistically at least, one way to read the view from May of this year would be not to expect any reuniting as the fracture in that part of the world will be permanent and is past repair.
Time and Markets
Before returning to some of the linguistics for the markets in the coming weeks, let me first drag out a chart for you to ponder. I know the market futures are pointing to an up day in the market as we head into the opening, but the market popped to the up side yesterday too, and that didn't keep us from seeing nearly 240 points whacked off the Dow.
I've been closely watching how this market seems to be running parallel to the declines which followed the market peaks in 1929 and 1987, and as you'll see, the markets right now (today) are at an important 'fork in the road' because if we don't stop this decline in its tracks, the Fed and other PTB forces may not be able to prevent a wholesale rout over the next couple of weeks are events in the past (we think of these as 'self-seeding time cycles' but there's nothing in the literature, so just use the words to conjure up what that means) and events rhyme/echo to cause a next bigger down move.
Now, to return to the linguistics, from the ALTA 0508 report, there was a sense that although there would be a break in the 'panic' language that accrued around the end of August/early days of September, for a 72-day respite, the problems of the market would continue to build under the surface:
"As the modelspace is moved through the 'turn around' point of September 19th and beyond, the [blood letting] meme begins to accrue almost instantly. It gains strength through the Fall, and goes into its maximum emotional summation levels just as Fall transitions into Winter. Thereafter it fades rapidly as though 'once the beast is drained, nothing more to be said'. There are a number of temporal markers which appear in conjunction with the [blood letting] meme, and these include a [wave/tidal_wave] of [job loss] within [banks]. This area is also curiously involved with [visible] examples of people who [abandon] their [positions] as the [banks fail], and those who [stubbornly maintain attendance] even though their [former employer] (the bank) has failed. This [visibility] of the [bank employees wandering aimlessly] and [locked doors] represents the second level of the [employment crash] and the beginning of the [visibility] for some of the [new populations/self_organizing- collectives] to begin to appear in global mediastream.
The [progression of loss of money/currency] which is supported by bespoke [confidence] such that a better interpretation of the whole of the aspect/attribute set might be a [progression of the loss of confidence in currency/paper_debt]. As part of the other temporal markers for this period include [officials] who [make rash promises], and [other officials] who [act as though blind, rashly running (into) obstacles and crying out]. These last are apparently within the [currencies industry] which is another name for the Federal Reserve Bank/Central Bank...which we note is *not* a bank, and therefore is very likely the 'beast' being let of its blood over the course of this Fall. There are repeated references to much [stink] in the way of [talk/verbiage (from/of) officials] which is shown as [doing/accomplishing no things/results], and indeed actually [causing/initiating inter national arguments]. In the end, at the deepest level of support for this area, the [officials] are described as being [exhausted/deflated] and [weeping] and [broken] and [energy depleted]. At this level the cross links go more heavily to the Bushista entity where they are terminating in the main in areas which are controlled by, or participate in [revolution] as a meta data layer, *and* as the actively rising {ed note: near the end of Fall}, dominant aspect/attribute set within Bushista. Apparently lots of people will be very very very p*ssed off about losing all their 'power' and 'money' and will assign blame to the Bush White House."
Again, as you read the linguistics, it's important to read the words trying to sense the 'feel' or 'texture' of what the words paint. With this continuous 'turning' of the markets, we have to confess to being less than surprised when it was reported yesterday at Citibank may be cutting as many as an additional 45,000 people from its payroll, a headline number that's sort of buried by LameStreamMedia in the USA, but which has not escaped the notice of the Chinese media group at Xinhua...
As the September 15th 0508 Part Three continues, we also get a vision of what late winter and heading into spring will 'feel' like - revolutionary change in the wake of economic failure in general and the foreclosure crisis in particular:
"This area is also described within the Markets entity as the [point/time] in which [decisions] are [taken/made] which will begin to manifest as the [new populace] entity that we have been observing forming up in modelspace. Apparently the [fuzzy revolution] will begin to emerge into [visibility] this Fall as [squatting] in [blanks/empty houses] will take on a whole new meaning, and which in turn will begin to build [new collectives/communities] within the populace. This is mostly affecting of the Populace/USofA, but some of the themes will emerge from patterns in other parts of the planet. There are images of [people/crowds (who/which) squat/seize/appropriate] [golf courses], and [canals/other water-ways/sites] where they will [construct places of food production]. In several of the more visible [squatting incidents] there will be actual [battles] with [officialdom] which are shown as [proceeding/lasting] for several months."
When reading these linguistics, it's important to realize that 1) the language always seems to err on the side of the extreme and 2) it is often not an event, per se, that is referenced, but rather the emotional reactions of the planet/population as expressed in MainStreamMedia.
An example of this was the case a while back where linguistically we saw references to a 9.5 earthquake associated with Hawaii, which has very high emotional values, but it turned out to be a rumor reported in Hawaiian media that was passed along the beach and that rumor was what was picked up because of its emotional intensity.
So, just because the language goes to falling markets, collapse of paper assets, or even a bed-ridden vice president and failed Middle East talks, and problems for the upcoming shuttle mission, none of this means these events will happen, it's just that down at the archetype level of mass consciousness measured by scanning millions of web discussion groups, this is what the language shifts imply.
The time monks continue to work on tuning of the technology. The actual beginning of the release period came a couple of days ahead of schedule (McClellan's book references on the 20th) and so with each 'hit' linguistically, a few words/phrases can be tweaked this way or that to improve the temporal accuracy of forecasts.
If you're looking for something really, really big as a 'forecast', you might want to watch the upcoming Atlantis space shuttle mission. Here, we've got loads of linguistics that seem to foretell an Apollo 13-like "Oh my God, will they make it?" kind of event, but sadly, nothing specifically actionable in the way of preventative measures. Even if we had, who would believe such a garage based effort? We won't post that whole section publicly, until the events that seem to be foreshadowed to occur over the Atlantic occur (or don't), although this gives you some sense of it:
"This last has the descriptor set of [unknown object] as a place holder or 'variable' in the programming sense of the word. The data sets are indicating, and we are predicting from them, that an 'unknown at this time' object will be [dislodged] and it will be the proximate cause of a [disastrous unfolding/process]."
Hopefully, that's just an artifact of the processing, which with more than 200 operations on millions of half page snips is to be expected. But, in a sense, the lack of minute details about the future may be a blessing. If we could say "stay off that street corner tomorrow at 2:53 PM because a bus will go out of control" the accuracy be such that mere possession of it would make some of us outright expendable, as people hungry for power will usually stop at nothing. On the other hand, seeing only the broad brush of events before they happen is useful in terms of 'bracing' for whatever comes next. The disclosures to come about some of the presidential wannabe's is another area to be watching. January-ish.
To return to our economic focus, the problems of the dollar (from ALTA 0708 Part 0, 10/21/2007) continue to center on the troubled Buck:
"The longer term value sets remaining from ALTA series 0508 continued to accrue supporting sets under the [millions of small particles]. It now appears that while there are certainly [housing] related inferences within the data set, the *more* likely interpretation is now for either [dollars] or [credit cards]. There are several large sub sets supporting both aspects within the [millions of small particles] new accretions. These data sets of [credit cards] and [dollars] are perhaps *both* legitimately represented. The interpretation of both would forecast a [fall default] wave on credit cards, and this would come in conjunction with a huge [repatriation] wave of [dollars] back to the [usofa]. How this [repatriation] might occur is less clearly described. There are hints that a [complete/total] [abandonment] of [us treasury] and other paper debt instruments would in effect be [repatriation] of [dollars], and would certainly be in the [millions] levels. Further there are
also pointers toward a [forced purchase] which involves [metals/commodities] and another which involves [property] of an unknown type. In both cases these are seen as [repatriating] [millions] of [dollars] back into the system.
There are recent accretions from the immediacy values of 0708 which also are going to the idea of [millions of dollars] [returning home]. This is cross linked internally with 2/two aspect sets of interest. The first these is terminating in [housing] and seems to be pointing to yet another wave of [foreclosures] and other [abandonment] issues which will begin to surface in late October/early November. Then in conjunction with aspect/attributes from 0508, longer term values sets, the other cross link is pointing toward a [mutiny/insurrection] which is directly held within the Markets entity. This area has very extensive cross links over to the Bushista entity, but is still holding its mass entirely within the Markets entity linguistic structure. The [mutiny/insurrection] values have a very high [visibility] sums, and therefore are expected to be covered by the global mediastream. Further, the [mutiny/insurrection] is apparently to surface as we move into the release period
after November 22. In this case we note that the Markets entity is forecasting that the [mutiny] will [topple/fall] the [markets] in December of this year. An additional and possible interpretation for the [mutiny] area also includes [retreat]. The support for this area includes [under/pressured by] and [disparate/separated forces]. There are also [iraq] values directly held as well as extensive cross links over to the [failure] sub set within Bushista. In either interpretation, the impact will hasten the [degradation/death] of the [usofa dollar], and have very serious [dampening] impact on the [markets] for [paper] originating in the [usofa].
Not that there won't be plenty of [drama], [heartache], and vast amounts of [increasing tensions] in the [markets] prior to December's 'release language episode'."
So on that note, I can only tell you that while we have hope that a major 'crash' kind of event won't happen in December, down in that preconscious place where people don't spend much time (it is very scary!) there are shifts in the archetypes that seem to be sending us warnings that would fit with precipitous economic decline. Is it just a Big Fear or Real Deal? We're about to find out...
Having posted this larger context of future events, it's a little repetitious for me to go through a bunch of links about what's going on today - or more accurately, what happened yesterday that's coming out the news pipes today.
Most of the broad brush of things is fairly clear, and except for filling in a specific event detail (like the precise Consumer Confidence number at 10 AM Eastern today, or existing home sales about the same time) we can just go ahead and skip ahead to our "Coping" section so we can get to the actionable work: collecting ideas for how to be ready for what may...
Some headlines this morning go to the idea that now that the market has done a 10% correction everything is set for a rally. Here's a "Duh!" for you: Although a 200 point rally would be widely reported and hyped, if it comes on the heels of a 237 point drop the previous day, it's only a dead-cat bounce on steroids, but then again, I guess you have probably already figured that...

Coping: Great ideas
Lots of emails coming in, so here are some snips to save. Let's start with how to pass the time...
"For your upcoming coping page, something most folks won't think of, is having on hand a few decks of cards, cribbage and backgammon boards, dominoes, and non-electronic board games (you know, old-fashioned Parcheesi, Monopoly, Scrabble, etc). The stress relief and competition of playing games (or sports) can make hard times seem a little easier. Also birth control - can't think of anything more inconvenient than becoming parents in the middle of an apocalypse."
And no, playing cards for profit at someone else's expense is not a proper use of cards. Depression, or not.
Next, let's talk about fireless cooking.
"George,
I have done two published articles on “Fireless Cooking” (cooking with retained heat ), modern-day haybox cooking, bearing similarity to today’s posting about cooking rice in a pot that has had the fire turned off except that an insulated container is used to hold in the heat the pot has received. I have done fireless cooking many hundreds of times over 30 years in a variety of vessels and it works great. It is a way to potentially save a considerable amount of fuel in a crisis because most foods cook with no additional heat input beyond the point where boiling is achieved. I
www.solarcooking.org covers “fireless cooking” and every conceivable aspect of solar cooking, too, for those who might want to build their own solar cooker from scratch for a couple dollars. This is a huge website.
www.thermos.com carries Nissan vacuum products and they make the “Cook and Carry System” Fireless Cooker which I’ve personally used for 15 years. It is tremendously efficient and compact; has a 5 quart capacity. They had 4 sizes at one time but now just sell the one at $125. Their vacuum technology is head-and-shoulders the best in my testing. Their wide-mouthed thermos bottles make the best fireless cookers of this sort esp. where a portable unit is desired. Just pour in the boiling hot ingredients, seal it up and give it 2 to 2-1/2 hours for most foods (beans take longer and may benefit from a reheat.)
Another thing Aprovecho (www.aprovecho.org) has done work on is the “Rocket Stove”, a small cook stove that uses ridiculously small amounts of wood to cook a family’s food. See 40 pp. tech paper off their home page that also has a section on “Fireless Cooking”.
A lot of the best technology in the above areas is directed to Third World countries but it would behoove us to pay attention while the internet is readily available.
The commercially-produced “Zipp Stove” ( a wood-burning camping stove in two sizes from www.zzstove.com ) accomplishes a similar feat for a few bucks but the smaller unit requires a battery to power its draft fan. But I would still recommend knowing how to make and use a Rocket Stove if I lived where fuel might be an issue, which may be everywhere with the eco-nazis on the loose.
Another reader has thoughts about this, too:
The item about cooking rice in a pot (heat off) reminded me of "Thermos cooking". In short, you put whatever you're cooking in a pot, add water, and bring to a boil. Then pour it all into a vacuum insulated bottle. In a few hours your meal is ready. I tried it several years ago and it works great. For more info see: http://www.homestead.com
Home Stocking:
"Have your readers look at Sprouts... I've been buying the following in bulk.
http://www.wheatgrasskits.com
Then Spirulina, Grits, multi-grain cereal, Rice and seeds.
I have Chickens and Rabbits and then guns for protection..
Its funny how just about everyone at my work say that I can't stock pile enough for all of them and I just kindly remind them that I stock for my family and a select few and then bullets for the rest... They think I'm joking..."
And a question:
"I looked at the site about the 100 things that go missing first from a Sarajavo survivor.... Excellent reference list but #14 and #15 are missing.
Wonder what they were? They were near the top of the listings too."
Hmmm...haven't had time to look yet.... more tomorrow...
--- end of snip and save section ----
Yeah, what am I talking about? Well it’s like this…malcontent has his ‘invisible conspiracy’, tekstone is all about ‘The Fed’ although I can remember when it was ‘The Democrat Party’ everybody has their meme with which they want to explain what is happening in this no longer ‘Shining City on the Hill’ and why.
Are we supposed to believe that this political appointee is such a naive fool that he’s shocked, shocked I tell you to learn that politics was involved?
If I remember right, all US Attorneys are to submit their resignations when a new President takes office. Certainly when the Presidency changes parties. So, I’m guessing this guy got his job in 2001 when a Democrat appointee resigned and he was appointed in their place. That’s sounds purely like politics being involved in deciding who’s the US attorney.
So, he didn’t bitch when he got his job because of politics, but he’s completely shocked, shocked I tell you, when politics forces him out of his job.
This guy got his job “politically” That is the game. You want to play with the big boys, you got to learn to take it on the chin. No sympathy for this one from me.
The 2 commenters before me got it all wrong-these positions are supposed to be above the fray-you can’t have all dumb-ass cronies running eveything in the admin.
What early commenters here do not know or acknowledge is that it is standard for a new administration to accept resignations and appoint new attorneys general as they choose. THAT is the political part. Once appointed it is presumed that they will be left alone to do their judicial best to be be, um, fair. They can be removed, fired, for blatant acts of misconduct. They take an oath to serve US independently. Responses here illustrate that crap repeated early and often is reported as truth. No intelligent discussion. The media drove this ‘of course it is political’ meme over and over again. Our department of justice, like every federal department, has been bled to death by these sly POLITICAL tricks. When your case goes to court, or when you are arrested and wind up in court, you may rethink the ok-ness of what has been done.

I sympathize. True, the appointments are made along political lines. That’s the rule. The rule sucks, but it is a rule, and it is applied fairly for all parties. But these guys were fired in defiance of even the sucky rules. I imagine it is because they would not toe the Chaney line, which is radically farther to the right than the regular Repub line. It’s a shame. No doubt they would have opposed Chaney’s dismantling of the constitution, so they were canned. Or their jobs were offered as payment to someone else for a favor, or a fortune. Either way, it was wrong, even by sucky rule standards, and they should protest, and help the rest of us dig up the scumbag deal that is behind it.
“you can’t have all dumb-ass cronies running eveything in the admin.”
actually….
Only the president has the power to fire US Attorneys. A reasonable presumption is that the president decided which ones would have to go.
The claim that the appointees are supposed to be, or assumed to be, free of political biases is more than a bit naive. If you do not remember the sixities, look up the very apt description of the so-called “Justice Department”. Which was: “There is a town in Mississippi called liberty, and a Department in Washington called Justice.” The entire judiciary, from the Supreme Court to the lowere courts and the U.S. Attorny offices are a morass of political corruption that exceeds that of many third world countries. It is unseemely for their to be protests by someone so corrupt to accept a hachet job from the Bush administration, and then complain about admittely shoody behavior. It is the same as the soldiers who enlist to kill Arab civilians complain when they do not get adequate treatment if they are shot or when they the psychopaths can no longer take the strain and ask to be compensated for a mental problem they surely had before they enlisted in Bush’s army. Fools such as soldiers and U.S. attorney political hacks get what they deserve.
We need to get Ramos and Compean out of prison. They have been locked up for over a year for simply doing the job they were hired to do. My understanding is that each of them have been in solitary confinement for almost the entire time. This is total injustice!!!!! Let’s all contact our Congressmen/ladies and urge them to continue pursuing the release of both of these noble border agents. Let’s be sure everyone in Congress is made aware of this new information. I know that many of us believed it was true before now, but now that new evidence is surfacing new opportunities to pursue their release may be available.
The categories of legal and illegal are poor substitutes for right and wrong. It’s perfectly legal for Iglesias’ master to fire him. In his capacity as U.S. attorney, he served at the pleasure of the chief executive.
However, the chief complaint as I understand it, is not that the firing was illegal, but rather that it represents an abuse of power. Bush’s administration is rife with examples of such abuses.
I used to work as a claims adjuster for an insurance company. “We will pay what we owe,” was code for “pay whatever we can get away with.” Remember ‘fair’ is a four-letter word that begins with the letter F. This ‘..whatever we can get away with,’ ethic seems to pervade the Bush administration’s actions.
Bush’s administration tends to push the bounds of law. Bush is legally able to fire Iglesias, however, that doesn’t make his action morally questionable nor just, but it does further the case; that he is an asshole.
I seem to recall that the white house initially claimed that the firings had to do with poor performance and nothing else. Regardless of past practice and standard operating procedures relative to these matters, the white house lied to the people again. That to me is the issue.
I agree. Damned liars.
Aha…Sutton..a protege of BuZh? Gee, what a surprise! Imagine the moral character of someone who has seen the Dark and aspires to make it darker. May this SOB be forever haunted by the family and friends of Ramos and Compean and may he never sleep another day of his life.
Sadly, no mention of New Mexico’s, Sen. Pete Domenici and his protege, Rep. Heather Wilson and their complicency in this case. The insiders report Pete is retiring rather than face investigation. Heather is poised to take his seat, but recently was accused of vote buying at the delegate nominating convention in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Bushies to the criminal end!
What is really disturbing is that Bush has a protege.
Protege - a person who is guided and supported by an older and more experienced or influential person : he was an aide and protégé of the former Tennessee senator.
In an even partly just world this scandal would be enough to bring the Bush administration down.
The Bush/Cheney bench packing is costing Americans three cents a stamp for eternity.
The Senate Judiciary Committee spent months and months trying to sort this out, and they were making progress in revealing the sordid links between Karl Rove’s office and Monica Goodling’s office (the White House liaison at the justice department), all of this suggesting that Rove was behind the firings of US Attorneys who were, in some cases, refusing to prosecute cases that had no credibility in order to affect elections (Rove’s piecemeal approach to carving up election districts and using micro-tactics to win each little chunk). Ultimately Harriet Myers and another White House aide were called and didn’t show up at all. They spat in the faces of Congress, claiming White House privilege. Chuck Schumer, with the help of Dianne Feinstein, had been leading the charge, but once he got Mukasey in (who isn’t sure if waterboarding is torture), he seems to have figured that everything is now “OK.” This is all BS. There has been no accountability whatsoever for what is a major scandal at the heart of the government. I blame Congress for their laissez faire attitude towards everything. All smoke and bluster and then sitting back and playing nice with this monstrous, criminal White House. The government thinks we don’t remember: we the people have a memory, damnit, and we will hold you accountable at election time!!!
The point is that you can change the prosecutors when you come into office, that’s ok. BUT, thereafter you cannot because it affects their independance. It’s simple and clear,really.
impeach. duh
“David Claudio Iglesias (born 1958) is an American attorney from Albuquerque, New Mexico.[1][2]He was appointed by President George W. Bush as the United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico in August 2001 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in October 2001.[2″
“In October 2006 (prior to the 2006 midterm election) Senator Pete Domenici called to ask about the progress of an investigation, New Mexico U.S. Attorney Iglesias said he felt this inquiry was trying to “pressure” him to speed up indictments in a federal corruption investigation that involved at least one former Democratic state senator. When Iglesias said an indictment wouldn’t be handed down until at least December, “the line went dead.” Iglesias was fired one month after the election by the Bush Administration as part of the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. Also in October, Representative Heather Wilson called about the indictments in a federal corruption investigation that involved at least one former Democratic state Senator.”[12]
Contrary to some of the above posts, he was NOT appointed by
a Democrat. He was one of George’s own but was following the
law instead of instructions from Cheney. Now that must make
it a bit more questionable. Seems like the whole thing was
because he wouldn’t speed up investigations of some Democrats so they would be indicted before the 2006 elections.
New oxymoron: “Republican Justice”
I know of at least one Civil Rights Attorney from Dallas who kept his job because he did the bidding of Karl Rove, Harriet Miers and the Bush Administration. He wrote to me in 2004 saying he was dismissing our civil rights complaint based on scientific misconduct and racial discrimination by NASA-NSF funded frauds. We thought it was strange when they kept losing the 30 page complaint which coincidentally and finally turned up only after Bush was in place for the second (fraudulent) term. It was at that time that Bush trotted out and announced a trip to the Moon and “Mars” which was all for the sole purpose of bolstering the military defense establishement. It was their reward for helping put him back in office. It was beautifully executed like clock work.
What was so funny was NASA issued filed CFR-1275, “Investigation of Research Misconduct” in October of 2003 months before Bush got re-elected just in case he didn’t make it back into office.

When fireing a U.S. attorney interferes in a case, it is illegal. Bush committed an inpeachable offense when some of the attorneys were fired, even if it was only by not stepping in to stop what was happening.
