New-World Nuremberg

The George W Bush Administration is the most criminal since the Richard Nixon administration, even though Ronald Reagan, particularly the events surrounding the Iran-Contra Affair, was a challenger in the most criminal category. In scope, no one can compete with W. Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin must be watching in admiration. Hermann Goering said there is a Nazi lurking in all of us. There is a simple formula for unleashing that Nazi, Goering said. Bush's people knew and took advantage of that formula and proved that Americans can be Nazis as good as the Germans, Italians and British.

Bush more closely resembles Stalin. He even borrowed Stalin's term "sleeper cells." In addition, Bush committed mass murder of over one million people and the mutilation of nearly five million more including tens of thousands of Americans. Bush committed treason, subversion, looted the treasury of over $5 trillion, tortured, disappeared people, erected a gulag of secret prisons, suspended the Bill of Rights, launched fraudulent wars of aggression, spied on his own citizens, rigged elections and perpetrated rampant fraud and deception,

Americans brag about their leadership in enlightened ideals such as rights, freedom and democracy, but few actually believe in those values and even less practice them. The U.S. has never had a justice system. It has a legal system. It has a corrupt, bigoted, racist, biased legal system, but it has never had a justice system. Consequently, George W. Bush and his accomplices will never spend a day in jail. They almost certainly will not even go to trial. The U.S. hanged dozens of Germans and Japanese for just a few of the crimes like those Bush committed, but will not hold their own president to those standards. The closest Bush will come to punishment for his hideous crime and terror spree will be a couple shoes thrown at him.

Americans never saw anything wrong with what the Nazis did. They only sought animal revenge and justified it by pretending to believe in higher values. We need a New-World Nuremberg to plant the seeds of justice in America. Or we could just extradite Bush and his accomplices to Iraq for trial.

No Special Election in Illinois

The Illinois Republican Party is saturating the airways with commercials urging Illinois citizens to demand a special election to select Barak Obama’s replacement in the U.S. Senate.

A special election is a bad idea. Since I voted for Ralph Nader and the Green Party where I could in the last election, I think I am objective in my opinion. Governor Blagojevich has not been convicted, so it is his legal obligation to select the replacement. The charges against him are questionable coming from a Justice Department that has been politicized and corrupted. The timing alone should raise numerous red flags.

Blagojevich will be the third Democratic governor targeted by the Bush Administration. Don Siegleman, governor of Alabama was charged, removed from office and sent to jail on what now appears to be fraudulent evidence. Eliot Spitzer, governor of New York, was embarrassed into stepping down on a charge of hiring a prostitute. If every politician who has committed adultery had to step down, the House and Senate would be unable to form quorums. Both members of the Republican team for president and vice president in 2008 would be disqualified.

If a special election is held, the Republicans will be able to concentrate their election rigging and fixing expertise on Illinois and have a good chance of winning. The 1920s and the past eight years are evidence of the damage Republicans can do to this nation. The worst thing we can do is to follow the advice of the Illinois Republican Party or accept accusations made by the national Republican establishment. The Iraq War shows how disconnected from reality members of that party are.
