You're probably sick of my random political ramblings here by now, but suck a dick, 'cos here comes another one.

Its getting pretty hard to avoid the propoganda machines lately, desperate to start another war with Iran, and I thought I should help spread some of what I've discovered recently about it. I'm pretty much convinced that the bush administration is going to nuke Iran, no matter what happens or who protests :(

The yanks go around like they're the worlds police, starting wars based on zero proof that a country *might* be planning to eventually create nukes. But they're at the forefront of research into nuclear weapons themselves, and have over 10,000 warheads ready to go right now. Theres been a bunch of recent stories about missing nukes, that have probably been officially "lost" in order to avoid blame for the impending mass murders.

How can America possibly think it has the right to disarm others, when its got the largest weapons stockpile of all, and is also the only country to have fired a nuke in anger before? Iran has actually signed the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (Unlike the USA or Israel), and gone above and beyond in cooperating with all requests from the United Nations inspectors.

Remember Scott Ritter? He used to be the weapons inspector in Iraq for the United Nations special commision, until he resigned out of disgust because he was being blocked from doing his job from both the Iraqi's and the US. His recent speech has spelled out one likely way that the adminstration will "justify" this nuke.
(Speech is in the second half of the video below, After Bill O'reilly finishes being an arrogant asshole and twisting facts)

So now they've got the legal guidelines in place to be able to nuke whomever they want, all they have to do is put the troops in danger first. Also, these "usable" nukes he mentions scare the shit out of me. They've made a whole new class of smaller "friendlier" nukes in the form of bunker busting bombs, except they don't actually penetrate underground anymore than conventional bombs..

Im tired, grumpy and rambling so I'll give up on whatever point I was trying to make (Don't nuke me bro?) and just dump todays linkage:

• Scott Ritter on Iran's Nuclear Capability
• White House Leak: Cheney's Plan for Iran Attack Starts With Israeli Missile Strike
• Israels Nuclear Capabilities
• Neo-Con Podhoretz Tells Audience To "Shut Up" After Tough Questions
• Proof Bush Personally Ordered Torture, Rumsfeld Liked To Watch It
• Bush Wants $200 BILLION For Iraq War, But Plans To Veto $22 Billion Labor, Health, and Human Services Bill
• Blackwater and me: You see, during my own yearlong tour in Iraq, the bad boys of Blackwater twice came closer to killing me than did any of the insurgents or Al Qaeda type
• Senator Rockefeller Pushing For Telco Immunity Received Over $40,000 in Donations from AT&T and Verizon
• Iran still 3-8 YEARS from nuclear weapons capability
• Bush stands by plan for missile defences
• Is a Second More Deadly 9/11 Now In the Works? There are good reasons to believe so
• Neocons Surge against AntiWar movement
• Iraq: A War for Israel

The amount of stupid, damaging shit that bush is getting away with lately is getting ridiculous. It's going to take generations to undo this man's fuckups. I can't think of a single good thing he's done in the last 7 years he's been abusing his power..

Take today for example:

Basically he stopped a bill that would have put a $0.60 cent tax on cigarette sales, and put that money into childrens healthcare. His argument why he would stomp out such a bill?

"Poor kids".

.. Wtf?

I can't get my head around half the shit this retarded chimp dribbles daily, but even worse is that he gets away with it. How can you possibly justify impeaching Clinton for a BLOWJOB but let Bush get away with murder (literally)?

Off the top of my head, heres a quick recap of what he's gotten away with so far:

• Violated oath of office
• Violated Nuremburg Charter
• Violated Geneva Conventions
• Violated Uniform Code of Military Justice
• Violated US Code, Title 18, sect. 1001 (lying to Congress)
• Cut veteran's healthcare
• Diverted levee funds pre-Katrina to fund war
• Allowed 2000 New Orleans residents to die
• Killed a million Iraqis with no legal, ethical, rational justification
• Allowed more mercury in air, more arsenic in the water
• Massive increases in illegal wiretapping on citizens (worldwide)
• Cut USDA inspections after 21 million-lb. recall for e-coli (excrement in beef)
• Gave billions in tax cuts to his old partners in the oil industry.
• Permits torture, rendition to secret prisons
• Holds innocents incommunicado without charges
• Opened public lands to oil, gas "exploration" using explosives to find deposits among wildlife
• Clearcut all but 10% of redwoods.
• Allowed North Korea to build nukes.
• Canceled Clinton program shipping old Soviet nukes to the US to be destroyed
• Blew close to a TRILLION dollars on an illegal war to "Remove Saddam", while refusing Saddam's offer to leave for ONE BILLION of Iraq's cash.
• Refusing Iranian offer to quit enriching uranium.
• Has male prostitutes visiting the White House.
• Blew $146,000,000 THIS YEAR on first class travel for his administration.
• Supports an ongoing nazi-style program of testing poisonous chemicals on infants in low income neighbourhoods.
• Repeated and often successful attempts to seal off, delete and cover-up records of his time as Governor, in the Air Force & his time as President.
• Pushing (and succeeding) in declaring those that criticize the government as "mentally ill" and subjecting them to compulsory psychiatric medication!

There are countless more reasons why this monkey should have been impeached years ago, without even getting into touchy issues like his involvement in the mass murders of 9/11, his family's Nazi history, his involvement in bizarre cults, or his history of drug abuse.

AAARGH. If anyone deserves to be assasinated, its Bush. Somebody please do the world a favour.

Update: This writeup has grown beyond the SCHIP issues I started writing about, so I've changed the title and will use this post in the future to document fucked up issues Bush and his monkey army have been involved in. It makes me so angry..

Please, help spread this information, and comment with sources if theres more issues I've missed (im sure theres plenty). I'll try my best to give reliable sources for each point in the list, but would appreciate help from the masses..

I know I have a lot of American readers, more so than in my home country for some reason, so let me know about stuff that might not have made the usual media sources..

Also, I want to try to keep this a list of solid, reliable, FACTS. Not just suspicions, but issues with tangible evidence that should be recorded as historical facts of his presidency. Feel free to point out your suspicions in the comments, but don't expect it to move to the main list without evidence..

I thought this was a really well made unofficial music video for Depeche Mode's "John the Revelator". I wish we'd get clips like this on Rage..

Speaking of cool music, Radiohead are putting out a new album called "In Rainbows". But it wont be sold in stores, or through the regular labels. In fact, the only way you can get it is online, right here. And guess what? YOU CHOOSE what you think its worth!

This is one of the best idea's ever, from one of the most creative bands around. They'll let you preorder and download the song for free if you want, but I seriously think its worth at least throwing them $20 for innovating and taking this sort of risk. I hope this works out for them, and other artists finally free themselves from the overhead of the recording companies, and it'll hopefully piss the RIAA right off :oP

Again, Support These Mofo's and give them something for their art, they deserve it.

I'm in the middle of watching one of the best documentaries I've ever seen in my life.
Its called Zeitgeist, and I think EVERYONE should watch it for a better understanding of religion, terrorism, and where our future is leading..

The flash version above is the full movie streamed from google video or better yet you can download a higher quality version to keep (and pass on) here. If you've got a few dollars to spare, and want a full resolution copy you should consider buying the dvd. They're not looking to make money from this, its just to cover the costs of production and shipping. Its a good cause. Just DO IT.

For those of you unable to download or buy it, I'll also be burning dvd's of my own to distribute (free) to help spread the word. Just contact me and I'll do my best to get one to you.

I'm specifically avoiding trying to describe it for fear of leading people into this with the wrong headset.
If you're wondering if you'd be interested, the answer is yes :)

So Bush arrived in Sydney for the Apec summit tonight. I swear I can feel his presence from Brisbane, and its not nice..
I hate to be a downer, and I've got a feeling this prediction will get me attention from Asio but its been on my mind since I first heard this meeting was going ahead.

So many powerful people meeting in one place, and with the event drawing massive amounts of worldwide attention I cant imagine the week going through without some sort of "terrorist" activity taking place. In fact, I'd almost guarrantee that something big will happen and the media will be whipped into a frenzy about how slack our security is, before a bunch of new laws (that just happen to be drafted and ready) are forced upon us under the guise of national security. Again.

I'm guessing it'll happen after the summit begins, after Bonsai finishes spooning Bush, at a time with maximum media attention. I doubt anybody powerful (if anyone at all) will be killed, but it will be advertised as being either:

• A close call, thanks to massive surveilance efforts by our spy/security agencies (justifying past massive increases in funding, resources and new powers) OR
• A disaster, and an immediate call for increased funding, resources and more Orwellian powers.

I dont wanna try and be any more specific, cos theres a chance I'll be right, and then I'll get hassled for "knowing" what was going to happen :o/

I hope im wrong, but if something does happen FOR FUCKS SAKE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. This sort of Problem-Reaction-Solution (to borrow David Icke's term) has been used constantly around the world to reduce our rights and like the sheep we are we've let it happen over and over.

On a less depressing note, I hope we actually do make some progress on agreeing on some sort of global warming policy like J-Ho has kept assuring us is his main priority during this little get together. Fingers crossed.
