Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.....The headlines are starting to have an almost Stephen King-like eerie quality to them: From the LA Times: Bush Wants FEMA to Tackle Terrorism
Yes, that's right; Bush wants FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency to establish an Office of National Preparedness to coordinate a "seamlessly integrated, harmonious and comprehensive" response to biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. "Prudence dictates that the United States be fully prepared to deal effectively with the consequences of such a weapon being used here on our soil," the president said. Can you even believe that? Now, while as policy, it may be a far better idea than a $60+ billion missile defense shield that will never work, but as it was presented as an executive order from the man who has no common sense, could it be any clearer an indication that Bush intends to start a war with anyone he can successfully provoke? And fully anticipates the action may take place on our home soil!

The Los Angeles Times also recently reported, that according to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, "People are concerned about several unilateral moves the United States has taken recently." The article went on to say, "The list of such acts is long and growing. The latest was President Bush's speech last week on missile defense. After promising to consult with allies before he took any major step, he instead signaled his intention to withdraw the United States from the Antiballistic Missile Treaty." How does he think that will not piss off the entire population of the Earth except the Defense Contractors he is trying to pay back for campaign contributions?

Another headline, this time from msnbc.com: U.S. diplomats search for answers - In the United Nations, what went wrong for the United States? "Stung by a double blow to its U.N. stature, U.S. diplomats past and present are trying to explain what went wrong for the United States in crucial votes last week that left them off important international panels for the first time."

What went wrong??? I can tell you. Bush and his illegal administration are a Clear and Present Danger to not only the citizens of this country, but to the planet itself. The rest of the world can see this since they have an honest and open press who doesn't commiserate with the BIG MONEY in charge. So why are they surprised? Have they been sleepwalking through the last six months? Were they living under some rock when the entire nation was disenfranchised and The Hive of Five illegally appointed the 43rd President of the United States? Maybe they've all been drugged, or perhaps it's some mass hypnosis. Whatever it is, I feel it is the height of audacity and hubris to even remotely feign shock at being voted out of two UN seats we've held, one for almost half a century, the other since it's inception in 1964.

According to the article published on www.msnbc.com : "Although the United States believed it had the support going into a series of votes Thursday at the United Nations, it lost seats it has held for years on the U.N. Human Rights Commission and the International Narcotics Control Board." Hello?!!!

Let's start with the International Narcotics Control Board: First of all, our country is currently being run by a member of one of the largest drug and crime families in the history of our nation, whose father as ex-CIA director began what has been one of the most insane drug policies ever envisioned. Bringing the CIA into cocaine production and trafficking to not only raise enormous amounts of money to buy, sell, and trade illegal arms, but also to finance the overthrows of foreign governments which conflicted with US interests. Not to mention letting drugs infiltrate an already weak population in order to retain control over them.

According to Al Martin, a government insider and ex-member of ONI - the Office of Naval Intelligence, he is "The Man Who Knows Too Much". On his website, www.almartinraw.com, you’ll find all sorts of amazing information including, "WHAT IF a criminal cabal, a de facto white-collar crime syndicate, took over the US Government and used its systems and operations for its own profit? According to former government operative whistleblower Al Martin, this is exactly what happened.” Well, it isn't just Al Martin that has this information. The rest of the world remembers Christmas Eve, 1992 when President Bush Sr. pardoned Weinberger and the rest of the Iran Contra operatives who could implicate him, as well as President Reagan, in a criminal scandal that would most likely have landed everyone involved in prison. And they certainly won't stand for another administration not only just as corrupt, but openly so.

What about the Human Rights Commission? How has the new Bush administration handled Human Rights so far? Well, first he stopped overseas funding for Planned Parenthood. A move that, even though on the outside looks as if they are taking a stand against abortion, does in fact, by ceasing support for the dispensing of information on birth control and choices, actually has shown to increase the abortion rate. When women don't know they have alternatives to abortion, like how to not get pregnant in the first place, (since world-wide, birth control seems to be the woman’s sole responsibility), abortion increases. Even though there was a scientific study to prove this, most intelligent, rational people can figure it out on their own.

What else? How about completely rejecting the Kyoto Protocol? Now, even though there may be finer points that still need to be worked out, why abandon it? Hey Georgie! Guess what? The rest of the world DOES care about the air we breathe! I suppose that a campaign promise is just a lie to get votes. Or, not sticking to the new regulations on lowering the amount of arsenic in drinking water. Why? Well... if we lower them to the standard that Clinton set just after the 1998 study was released, it would "cost" Bush's contributors in the mining, utility, and other big industrial industries just too much to fix the way they pollute, so we'll let them regulate themselves. How about this for an idea: If they were so concerned about not polluting, why haven't they already changed their ways and cleaned up the way they operate? Looks like the rest of the world also cares about poison in the water supply, and feels it is a human rights violation to poison people. There is also the gouging of America with regard to energy and gasoline – especially when there is only a fictional shortage. Or closing the offices on AIDS and Women's Issues. Or taking away funding from such national needy programs as Reading Is Fundamental, and programs to help neglected and abused children, and others, just to fund a tax cut for the already obscenely wealthy ONE percent of US citizens, who, it turns out are mostly on Smirky's cabinet. Or allowing the Rogue Court to pass a judgment making it legal for a citizen to be arrested of a minor offense, harassed by an out of control officer who needs anger and stress management training, all in front of her children who she was also not allowed to drop off with family members before she was taken in. Even the fact that Smirk was not legally elected and did everything possible including paying a mob to stop a legal vote count, proves human rights violations. We, as a nation, have been disenfranchised.

Clearly, the US Constitution has become null and void in the eyes of our current government, and the rest of the world clearly sees the injustices going on here, especially when we legally elected someone else, who just happens to not have been sworn in.

Maybe the rest of the world is sending in their cavalry, only it's to save OUR collective ass this time.
